Looking to clean up some fence lines or bush? Give us a call, taking bookings for 2023.

@DTimchishen @farmwithuruski Didn’t like the UTX? Just wondering why you decided to go all conveyor?

@farmwithuruski I have chains in my others. This one however is driven by the single steering tire. It’s a grippy tire but we will see how that goes. It looks like a decent unit, but our reliabelts have moved a lot of grain over their lives so tough act to follow. Traded my UTX.

Go time! Let’s see how she does!

@ArnstAg @yachtclubmatty I agree with all of this. We really like ours. Would not be scared to get another one. Have no experience with other makes of U trough augers though.

@yachtclubmatty The newer AGI utx has a way better design for the mover/hopper. Reaches under 27’ hoppers east enough. Needs quite a bit of clearance to get under bins tho so if bins are sunk in the ground much you will have trouble. Motor is a bit underpowered, but still really fast

Looking for opinions from Westfield UTX 44 users what’s the good, bad, ugly? How do they stack up to a Brandt?

@tyler_menold JDeere combine. Thx for video. Looks like 3320 would have no trouble seeding into that? But…

@PHacault What kind of combine? We used our stripper in flax for the first time last fall. Going to direct seed into it next spring with salford disc drill.

We hope to be harvesting #flax this year. We’d like to use a stripper header on the combine, then direct seed into it the following spring using Bourgault 3320 hoe style drill with MRB. Will this work? Where to find header to rent/demo in south central MB?

@Jason_hildo @bigbushelsag I think it’s pretty common. Dummy stack on the left. I think it’s kind of a joke, but to each their own I guess. Probably makes more sense then having 2 working stacks instead of one? #Unpopularopinion 🤷‍♂️

@bigbushelsag Please tell me people don’t actually do this on purpose. Must be in the middle of a repair job.

@patkunz 🙄 I meant if you would look down from top of bin. The drag would be going counter clockwise around the bin? I just never seen one like that before. 🤷‍♂️ or, it’s some mirror thing going on and my brain is broken?

@PHacault I’ve no idea. It’s a centre unload. The way you look at it here it would turn clockwise. If it turned the other way it would run outa the pile. So I’m thinking it runs proper direction lol

Change of pace. Fence still only at 30/21120 feet. Grain farming is relaxing as usual tho 😁👍

@rgstone1 I agree. I’d like to demo one, but don’t know where to start. Never seen one around here

Stripper headers are pretty neat

@farmerplumber @rgstone1 Oh? I was thinking it just might work? Not saying it would be pretty, I’d like to try it…

@rgstone1 MRB death trap

@mathewsutton6 Thx, I might try that.

@PHacault Peek aluminum polish is what I use clears up nice, can find at can tire

Trying some WD-40 on the headlights. Look at them go! 😂

@kowalchukfarms1 Cool to see how the yards recently started from scratch differ from the ones that have been modified for 100 years. Here’s our work-in-progress. @jen_parsonage

A farm yard is a work in progress In the mid 90’s I had a D8 cat come in and level the bin yard and get rid of all the wood bins😁 It will never be on the front of the Green book but I’m proud of how it looks now Farm yard photo’s were always a thing, I’d like to see yours

@actionj46179582 @RonKrahn What’s wrong with Cargill?

Anyone else having trouble getting paid for grain delivered by one of the major grain companies in Western Canada? Blaming the new computer system. We are now 4 weeks since delivery. wondering if we are a “one off” or whether it’s widespread.

@ColinMartel91 33% cream 🤤

Anybody else leave cake soak up in milk before eating it?!?

@steeves11 @CANTERRAcolette Oh my… I don’t think so, as the whole field was sprayed pre seed, and the non cover area was sprayed last fall as well, so if it was that, yield should be the other way around

@PHacault @CANTERRAcolette I’ll go all hippy on you and ask if the glyphosate affected soil microbes?

Seeded canola into rye cover crop trial this spring after it had been sprayed with glyphosate. Canola yielded 5 bu/ac less here. Why? What did I do wrong?

@DaleSteele11 I think it is moisture related, but I thought after the 3” rain it got early in the growing season would have been better saved by the thick residue layer of the dead rye plants? When we went in to drought conditions after that I thought it would recover

@PHacault With drought stress, any differences in soil moisture & crop uptake are magnified. Around #yql can see yield impact from different soil disturbance, residue cover, rotations, field variability, etc

@Mochapup44 What crop is that? On what stubble?

Not lack of tillage but Straw and chaff management problems

@Mochapup44 I’m kinda glad that my fields aren’t the only ones that look like that… hey, what are you doing on the sprayer bro?
