Alex Knight

4th generation farmer in Southwestern Ontario.
We cash crop soybeans, corn, wheat, winter canola, sunflowers and field stone.

@HeimpelJason @MunicCK Absolutely. It's unionized, so I'm sure the best operators aren't always the ones running the machines.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

Hey @MunicCK how many road graders does the municipality own?

Asking on behalf of everyone who is unfortunate enough to have to use these gravel roads.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@RSHFarms @MunicCK Could not agree more.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@MattPinsonn @MunicCK Goat trails may be a better term?
I've never seen so many roads in such terrible shape this time of year.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

Looks like some squirrels got me back for letting the dog (naturally) eliminate some of the colony.

Well played.

This war ain't over.

@farmerjim13 @markede05626239 @James_Stacey_ I have an extremely annoying rattle in the cab, and I cannot find it for the life of me. But whatever it is, I'm sure some windshield adhesive will likely be the fix there too. Lol

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@farmerjim13 @markede05626239 @James_Stacey_ Windshield adhesive is what I used. So far, it's been in there for three seasons and still holding strong.

@JoshBoersen @megnmoran @scottyheps @rgstone1 I sprayed our fungicide/boron yesterday. It's moving along nicely down here.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@AdamJPfeffer It's on the move

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@farmerjim13 I did our T8 a couple of weeks ago. The price of those tensioners is even worse in Canadian dollars. Lol
Grabbed some bearings in town and swapped them out.
You can get the same tensioners from dayco for about a third of the price.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@AdamJPfeffer Do it. You don't want to regret not doing it.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@58thF Send Logan to do it. One problem solved, but another created. Haha

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@FarmerChris13 I bought this Yamaha RMax a couple of years ago and have been very happy with it.
We use it for spraying, rock picking and running around the farm.
I even take it to get groceries sometimes.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@SmithDnksmitty It amazes me how it will look like that, then all of a sudden it's green, then bolting in a short period of time.

@gavin_spoor 8 row Kinze with dry fertilizer on a Maximum 125 and a 30' 500T on a Magnum 215.

@JoshBoersen @scottyheps @WheatPete Your canola looks fantastic. Ours looks a bit ugly right now, but it does every spring.
We've had a lot of rain down here, now have standing water and freezing temps on the way. I suspect we'll lose some low spots, but we'll see in the coming weeks.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@Chance2FarmLtd We will get this one to the field this spring, then we'll strip it down next winter for paint and interior work.
If we get carried away, maybe even put new rubber on it.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

It may not be fancy, but I will guarantee you that it will never have a def system failure.
This was grandpa's favorite tractor. We sold it years ago, but now it's back and it will never leave again as long as I'm around.
Next winter's restoration project came early.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@FrankBr05713205 We have some more modern stuff around here, and the def issues have me thinking the same way.

[Alex Knight @AlexKnight936]

@maze_norman 5.9 Cummins. Great little package.
