Grain farmer in southern Manitoba

@DTimchishen We made it to the third field before needing the tape. Might be a new record. 1-2 years for hoses. We keep adding more steel pipe which is helping. Trying Agristainless new extreme hose. Really like it so far. If it lasts as long as they say it’ll be a no brainer

@T_Bartman Haven’t had the best luck on Amazon. I get most of my stuff from Newark or digi key. They aren’t great for searchability but have good selection. Find a deutch connector book and get the numbers you need and search that way is best

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@Beaudrybilly @ShelbourneReyno I’ve got one I would consider selling. As long as you can start picking up some crop it will pull up the rest and do a nice job in lodges areas. Best if going crossways or straight into the lean. I’ve used it in damp and green straw and it worked well just taking the grain off

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@Jackie_Dudgeon Second the tempo. We use it in the shop. From what I remember it’s registered for indoor use.

@Mullin_95 We use google drive for everything farm related. Just have a google doc to write everything in. Fieldview isn’t compatible with our equipment, tried a few other apps and found this to be simplest for us.

@schuelkecorn @johnbergen4 @joe73595582 Is that Olsen phos test?

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@shanefalk @belchimcanada We’ve been doing 1/2 rate at herbicide and 1/2 at flag fungicide when the timing works out. If timing is off (herbicide really early) we have been doing a separate pass. We haven’t compared it ourselves I think there’s data out there though.

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@WallaceFarmsMB We quit plugging runs and just do solid seeded now for the last few years. Did a few trials and never any difference. Only negatives are seed depth is harder to check b/c they are so spaced out in row and they maybe help each other push through crust in wider rows

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@landon707 @nozzle_guy Even better would be both though. Could suck chem with 3” and then have an extra pump for clean rinse water

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@nozzle_guy is anyone making a battery-electric water pump for spray trailers? I feel that should be pretty easy to do. Pump only runs maybe a few hours a day and just plug in the charger when you’re done overnight.

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@landon707 @nozzle_guy I was thinking to replace the 3 inch pump lol that would be a lot of Milwaukee batteries

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@nozzle_guy There’s plenty online about replacing 20+ hp gas engines in go karts. Pricing didn’t seem too bad either. Not sure what kind of duty cycle they can handle. But for waiter trailer weight isn’t a concern so could build everything a lot heavier duty

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@DarrenCzarnecki Can’t remember if we’ve done soybeans but have done peas or canola with good results

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@kehler_jason @kurt_shmon @GVE_JD @JohnDeere @upthecreekcattl That’s what we usually like doing when the fields work out. Works awesome. Keeps more dirt out of the combine too.

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@DtotheIzzoAcres Usually 3 and then start on far side. Seed extra headland pass when going back to trucks to fill so sometimes end up with a lot of headland

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@scott_perkin Ground drive piston pump with 3 way valve flow meter and section control with pressure gauge for each section, teejet variable rate nozzles. Run through Trimble gps. Would like centrifugal pump, otherwise happy with it. Use suction and pressure filters and haven’t had any plugs

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@DTimchishen @bigbushelsag Maybe you passed our drill getting pulled out of the mud lol. It always happens on the highway fields

[Jens Boekhorst @jensboekhorst]

Bunch of cultivator shovels, knock on adapters and stub guards for macdon swather(30ft) all collecting dust. Let's make an offer and put them to use!
Retweets appreciated!

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

Have a 30’ hardi sprayer boom and valves from a 3pt sprayer that’s getting a 60’ boom. If anyone has use for one make me an offer. Boom is in good shape.

[Lucas Menold @LucasMenold]

@rhofford I did that last year. Weight isn’t a problem but if you swerve it sure pushes the truck around.
