@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.
"Saskatchewan agriculture is recognized for leading innovation and producing some of the least carbon-intensive crops in the world.

@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.
@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.
@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.

@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.
@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.
@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
