@Shawridgefarm I don’t have a name.
Pops up as E-repair and Design on New Jerusalem rd. Phone number is also there. He has fixed several circuit boards before. Had a $1800 board on our meridian seed tender go dead. He charged $30 to repair.
@DeanPat57613010 Also would highly suggest if doing 28 redo that hose to reduce the number of connections. Any connection is an opportunity to leak. Can do that from hose to quick coupler in 1 piece now from Banjo.
@DeanPat57613010 As others have said poly shims behind the gasket in quick couplers, Extra heavy duty teflon tape on threads and silicone on the hose barbs before assembly.
@GSpoultry1@JohnDeere@Case_IH Don’t have much red experience. 4830 a great machine. Would check the suspension scissor wear. Boom can show some cracks as machine ages.
4830s are the easiest machine I’ve ever run in non gps corn rows. Would encourage running 6 weights on the nose. Machine handles way better.
This sums up some of our experiences this past season. Excited to try some more things and integrate it into some of our week control programs for this year.

@MarkLuymes Couple high flow Venturi’s with a high flow pump. Capable of inducting 2-3 high volume products while pump is running at full speed. Keep it simple and straight forward.
@14Ram Use heavy wire. Usually run 4-6 ga. That distance at 12v can cause issues when the wire is too small. Pumps seem to last longer. Have done a trickle charge off of the clearance light circuit to a battery as well. Just need a diode to prevent backflow of current.
@WheatPete Yes. First time in 5 years it hasn’t. Not a crop failure but no upside. Wish I would have went a later in the earlier planting. Have gone as late as a 1.4 in the past but getting wheat in gets tougher. Would have been fun to see if maturity could have overcame planting date.
A bit delayed but here are the results of our soybean variety plot planted on 2 separate dates. This was harvested after a rain. Prior to that rain everything but the later planted 08,09 and P09 were ready to go. At harvest the P09 still had some greens in the sample. @WheatPete
@Shawridgefarm The April 28 1.1 were ready to come off before the rain on the weekend, the May 16th 0.8 and 0.9s were still quite holding most of their leaves. Rain did even them out now but even with the cool May, the early planted are ahead in maturity.
@Shawridgefarm Definitely need to adjust maturity for earlier planting, for April I have gone as high as a 1.4 here but 1.1 more consistent choice for wheat planting. I need to get my plot off, April 28 planted 0.3-1.1RM behind it is May 16 0.3-0.9RM will tell an interesting story 1/2
Was asked by a customer earlier this summer if we could help get rid of some old chem that came with farm he purchased. Today is the day they get taken to an @Cleanfarms collection point. These are a blast from the past.
