@courtseeds @RoncerayDan Do you have one bad battery? If you have a bad battery or even one cell, when trying to start it if it doesn’t detect ~24v when series/parallel switch is engaged it won’t even try to start.

Help! '22Case 580. Random problem. Starter doesnt respond when attempting to start. Only way to get it running is to jump solenoid at Starter. We had it shop twice and starts consistently. So we can't diagnose the problem. Any ideas component or connection that could be failing?

@LowBoomLowDrift @bushelproapp I have that exact cart, tablet in the cab works normally and this is just an add on. It’s a great feature, combine operators know how much is in the cart for calibration, leaving room for other combines or just knowing how full they actually were.

@bushelproapp Ya I think so.

More sprayer fill ideas 🤔

Opinion: Misconceptions persist on farming drainage in #Saskatchewan #wetlands #agriculture bit.ly/46g8A4n

@Andrew_Dalgarno Instant raised garden with an ag theme.

Ideas on what to do with old tracks?? One is f'd. Other could be used in an emergency but is on borrowed time. Take to tire recycle? Use on lowbed? Yard drag? ???

@KP_VSA_Farm @bsproat It has worked better than I thought it would. First step was getting surface drained properly. First tile I put in 7 years ago through 40’ wide areas of white ground that didn’t grow anything. If you didn’t know where to look last year, you could not see where salinity was.

@bsproat It’s part of a larger network water course so tile wouldn’t work in this situation. But would certainly work in others I’m sure. @ThorpeAg how is tile working to help with salinity management your way?

Want to fix salinity? Manage the water! Pretty simple. This area was so saline that it never grew anything consistently. Managed the water flow and now it’s a top performing area. #bestwhenmanaged

@Plantmore1 I put in some tire sealant into some 900/50 R42 tires that were cracking and leaking slowly. Took 20L per tire. It is holding 100% so far, no more leaks.

7950 cart, rear dual 850’s starting to see cracks like this on all of them. 10 yrs old. Ignore and keep running them ?

@kowalchukfarms1 @rgstone1 @DaleYakubow I heard in person bidding…. but a 5% entry fee to get into the auction. 😂

@rgstone1 @DaleYakubow Live might not mean in person. But I hope they are

Looks like in person auctions Again for the farm sales? 🎉

@MoneoDallas I have to mine this winter, I haven’t looked into it yet. Is it a Bourgault only option for parts? Or where did you get them? I think I read somewhere there is a greasable option available some where, hope to find one.

3 guys, 2 weeks to rebushing an xtc drill. 🤮🤮 #plant24 #bourgault

@MYPrecisionAg I tried to have some in mine… they were all pressed into service on the carpet farm. 😂

No ag office is complete without machinery toys.

@RonKrahn We went with an electric forklift for in the shop. Found one that needed batteries, but just wired it up with a bank of deep cycle 12v. Side shift is nice for pallet racking. Outside have a telehandler, wouldn’t be without it.

#agtwitter. In the market for a forklift. What do I need to be looking for? Primarily inside shop and on very hard packed gravel yard. Good dealers to work with in eastern Prairies?? Side shift a must have? Want to be able to reach 3 level of pallet racks in shop. 3 stage?

@BaldurBarons A few things I like from mine, Lunchroom with full kitchen and dishwasher, air compressor on far end of shop in insulated room, sub panels on each wall or between each big door (put feed wire under cement), office and/or meeting room, lots of lights. Room for semis and projects

Okay. So I think the shops gonna go up next year. What are some big pointers for it?

Anyone looking for a solid 9770 or 9760 combine? 2010 John Deere 9770 STS, has been through our shop and is ready for field. 2216 sep hours $115,000 2005 JD 9760 STS. Bought new, well maintained and shedded. 3381 sep. $52,000 2010 Macdon FD70. $54,000. To be sold with combine

@Smithfamilyseed Sounds good. I have 2900hours on tractor so seems a bit early to replace whole set

@ThorpeAg Original quad track? I’ll try and take some pictures sometime, pretty dark in the shed.

Old quad track tracks, anyone have a use for them? $ value?

@lmasse729 I use earplugs. If they get stuck cut them in half.

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
