One step closer to our first crop in Saskatchewan ! 11 hours one way with the drills! #almostplant19 #saskbound #riverhurst #farhillranch

@Jason_hildo @BaldurBarons Very true, we found that in our climate it keeps the plants healthy enough that the layer disease pressure doesn’t seem to negatively affect them as badly

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@laycock_da29909 @BaldurBarons I would assume it’s much more beneficial in a climate that is more wet and humid than ours, we’ve tried it on our irrigated land and never seen any difference at all

@AllamFarmer Normal 1/2” D ring only has load rating of 4100 lbs. Probaly the big sprayer shifting causing it

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@KKoolyk @bscomet22 Only fields I’ve ever seen it in, the drills have MRBs

@russpauls 9795s had the airfoil, 9565s don’t. If we need to replace the top sieve it will get an airfoil

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@russpauls @gavin_spoor The 9795/9895 are absolute monsters in canola. Don’t think anything can compete with it

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@LowBoomLowDrift I do it when it’s extremely dusty, seems to help a bit. Don’t see a point in crops that I know will require additional passes with the sprayer tho

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@voss_ag @fredweisg The exact mix now but it had fluroxypyr and 24d in it forsure

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@BantrySeedFarms I try to shut down at 25, but we went at 40 this year cuz we simply had no choice. We slowed down and ran at 30-35 psi that day. My crop was the only one at risk to damage also. We’ve got a weather station on one sprayer and I like it for giving me instant idea of what gusts are

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@LowBoomLowDrift 74 sofar on the year, but haven’t had a tender truck following me around yet. And last week we were rinsing 2-3 times a day juggling the wind. Hope to pump those numbers up

@farmerjim79 @58thF We thought about going to the razor last winter but decided to keep the 2 machines the same. Might have to try some of them to

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

Well that’s a wrap on seeding, although it took us 3 days to do the last 140 acres and 3 different drills we got er done! Had more stuck tractors than ever before, and got to try a few new things. Excited to see what the season holds!

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@farmerjim79 @58thF I can’t believe someone got paid to design it lol. We run Dutch low draft 2.5” side band on them, 10” space one still throws dirt over 4mph, but 12” space one works fantastic

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@farmerjim79 @58thF I wouldn’t say it’s loved haha but considering what we paid for them it’s hard to complain.

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@58thF Case PH800

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@russpauls We really liked it, just a ground drive 9800. Would definitely go vr/Oct if we buy a second one. Never want to use the old coil cart again lol

[Ethan Klassen @EthanKlassen2]

@Mullin_95 Chin over shin and she’s gunna look dirty everytime, that said the elbow goes flying pretty good on the follow through
