@jasonmauck1 Wasn’t sure if to just try it all at once or ease in.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@jasonmauck1 Have your done any banded spray when planting the beans in the spring? Worried dust could carry it into the wheat. Want to do IP beans

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@randy_kaeding @jflojr Hows the cab space?

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@vdbmillwright Would you rotate pipes in future?

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@JoshBoersen @farmerschneck @Engineer_Farmer With deere its easy to have all the part numbers and just call them in. Parts guys take time to develop. Alot are painful.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@farmerschneck @Engineer_Farmer Is there a parts page like deere? Or not comparable?

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@farmerschneck @Engineer_Farmer How are the claas for wear components? From the outside they appear to be a machine you could run higher hours more easily. Depressing the things that fail on a deere.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@BarlowFarms1843 As long its been greased, very easy to disassemble, replace seals (do the boot to) bearing on fan side is likely gone, and seals. And your off to the races. Kf its dry when you pull it apart its toast.

@TomFarms What soze is the shop? All “drive through” sections?

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@dmartin7810 @MdMcLean1 @jrlikeswhisky @TomFarms Do you guys lower feed lines to blow tops off? Run the ventrac with blower, biggest concern is maneuverability around lines. Also can whip the ventrac quite fast for corners etc. cab would be nice

@kyleplattner @MaxROIFarmer @JohnDeere Interestingly, what made apple what it is, was not selling subscriptions. It was creating a inferior product. Not just the ease of use, but the physicial hardware was above and beyond everyone else. As a farmer reading what your wrote confirms, I may have deere gps, but thats it.

@Engineer_Farmer @jasonmauck1 Vaderstad has sliding row unit to make tram lines in narrower spacing. It would be easy in my mind to make a 30”-20” spacing planter, getting narrower would get damn hard. Supposed to be a way that the delta force can pick a unit right up.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift In theory to really utilize this, the boom should rotate so its still square, or do you adjust width?

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift Tram lines would save the sprayer. Overlap would definitely increase.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift Makes sense

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift Interesting, part of our sales pitch was software updates where going to applied as the machine is still being fit to the market. This is one that was mentioned. With your thoughts on JD subscription, seems counteractice.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift I look at it more so as speed is set by operator as not everyone is comfortable at certain speeds, would allow the machine to be pushed further. As sprayer passes build should make for much more accurate height control.

[Ryan Van Dam @ryvandam]

@LowBoomLowDrift Yes but that is manual, have played with a bit, but becomes alot going on.
