@garittm @JSeimes You can buy those cup holders at Peterbilt I put them in my internationals too

@JSeimes Ya I would take it out. I miss the cup holders that are at the base of the pass seat like the Pete’s have when I drive the w900. Don’t have to reach for anything, and it hold my phone good also. Lol

Biggest gripe about the w900 is this stupid centre console being in the way and I can’t stretch my right leg out. Makes me think about trading it on another Pete some days.

@RoncerayDan It’s the header storage that should be patented. My daughter had both markers down on the corn planter this morning lol

H has along going on this morning, he’s not gonna let a little rain stop him

@Greencow10Lloyd @kendalwpg Plywood? Or the plastic part from a cut up tote for the cover lol

@kendalwpg I want an hopper cover for that did you find any of them around.

Does anyone have a double flight swing hopper for sale for a Farm King 13in auger? I would imagine there are a few kicking around after guys switched over to Rodono's...I have a 16in one here but need a 13in...

@landon707 That’s a good idea. I had thought about building one like the michels one before they invented it but they beat me to it

While waiting for surgery I built a wireless pole cam for the guys loading trucks powered by a M12 battery. I've tried having these cameras on augers and they just shake or vibrate apart. Should be handy for the upcoming cold snap.

@RonKrahn @gregnesbittpc We had a pickup stolen in May. Nothing but delays and excuses. We also had a quad stolen at same time which was recovered. Written off and paid for promptly. Different adjusters.

What’s an acceptable amount of time to be dealing with an Autopac claim with MPI in MB? We are going into month 7 of dealing with a semi accident claim where the truck was an obvious write off & still no settlement received. Any ways to speed up the process? @gregnesbittpc

@smarchibald We demoed the brand that h and l motors sells. Was a nice little unit

Anyone ever have one of these? Thinking it would be handy for totes and pallet work, and yard jobs ..

@bigbushelsag We started building in 2020. House was priced and budgeted in late 2019. Covid delays covid pricing. Trades basically holding you ransom because there’s a lack of people out there. Our house cost ballooned 50% more. Never mind the increased interest cost.

@sunflowerfarmer @kendalwpg Any 375 or bigger forsale?

Got a few diesel 185cfm compressor for sale yet too! Make harvest blowoffs a breeze! Find em at mtrohrich.com

@MdMcLean1 Or 200% capacity lol

All right mathematicians… if I’m running a 540 adapter on a large 1000 PTO what speed does the 1000 PTO have to be spinning to obtain 540?

@Greencow10Lloyd @kurt_shmon @imperialseed_cc @imperialseed_as Been wondering what that feild was now I know

Cutting some red clover for seed. #imperialseed ⁦@kurt_shmon⁩ ⁦@imperialseed_cc⁩ ⁦@imperialseed_as⁩

@RonKrahn Makes sense

@BenHoltmann We have been electric since 2008 ish. Bought a 1 year old auger years back that came with hyd mover. We pulled it off with great intentions of making something with it. And never did.

Anyone need a hydraulic mover for a 13” Farms King auger? New ones are $3k plus. Has had very little use. Make me an offer.

@silagechopper @GaryGvetter I’m about 450 and I have people for that job lol

@BenHoltmann @GaryGvetter If you have ever seen a beached Whale you can picture a 250 pound out of shape 46yr old beer drinker underneath the cab of a 7980 with a KP belt.

Remorse,she came in behind a 7500jd chopper at 300 engine hours and 224 chopper hours-the 7950 had enough power to walk and talk-i guess around 18000acres through the spout as we averaged 10acres a hour-mostly 25 ton stuff! Its for sale!

@silagechopper @GaryGvetter We went from a 7750 to 8600i for maintenance the 8600 is much nicer. Just need a season or two to figure out all the tricks. As a big guy maintenance was tough on the 7750 much more room on 8600 other than hooking up hay head

@GaryGvetter I have just a few more hours on my 7980. I was thinking the other day I wonder if I will have anything left when it’s got double the amount.

@DonavinPreun Yup every storm is miles off where the radar shows

@BenHoltmann Me and Vinny were just talking about that lol. Radar showed it coming straight for me. 20 miles north at least is where it’s tracking. Nice light show tho

Nice storm pic tonight. Anybody notice the radar isn’t really accurate anymore?

@kendalwpg @lmasse729 Yea some years we do and some years we don’t I guess they axed us

@BenHoltmann @lmasse729 Just picked up a big order there last week....ive spent lots there in the last yr because of building a sprayer tender.

Where can a guy get floats for sight gauges on water tanks, sprayer and spray trailers? 1/2” line. Sprayer parts warehouse is no more and they used to have them

@kendalwpg @lmasse729 Have you checked lately they cancelled our account at westward because it wasn’t worth their time to keep our account.

@lmasse729 I have an account at Westward Parts...all the same parts available as before with Sprayer Parts Warehouse...any chance u have a part number or description...i can look it up.

@PlsntVlyFarmer We run Massey triples they seem to work good as any other

Ok, best disc mower for the money. They all cost too much. I’m looking at a used JD (Kuhn) and a used Vermeer

@lmasse729 @Chris_bauer_LL Do you still take a whiff just to make sure it’s still the same lol?

@Chris_bauer_LL I’ll never forget my first whiff of finish. Hanging out while dad loads the sprayer as a kid and he hands you the jug and says take a big sniff. #learningcurve lol

If you take a whiff inside a old jug that resembles finish to see if it’s really finish only to find out that it’s definitely finish and then you nearly die…you just might be a #regularfarmer #imnotcryingyourcrying
