Missouri poor dirt goat farmer. Nothing but my own ideas here..

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@MidwestAgChem @bmainord Yeah…overlapping pre’s was a good idea. Now it’s beginning to be what level of crop response is acceptable…

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@braunfarm Good news is now you have tramways for summer scouting trips…

I planted a bunch last year ignoring the beeper on row 2 thinking it was planting and I had a bad harness. Did some digging and it seemed like it was. Turns out a good portion of the time it wasn’t

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@benjaminaustic You need to have a perimeter fence and use the collars for cross fences

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@benjaminaustic @gavin_spoor It’s possible that the exceptional rain took both the Prowl and Mtz away…

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@benjaminaustic @gavin_spoor On this front. Pulled the flumi and Sulfentrazone out of my mix this spring. Ran Prowl and Met as the pre residuals. Didn’t do any test strips, but beans off to good start. Waterhemp is exceptionally thick also…not sure it was a good trade.

@DanAllred1 Have a couple layers of towels and gorilla tape and it’s still pretty abrasive for normal people. Apparently hits dads loss range and he can’t hear it, so need a visual indicator to help there anyway

First test run of the honey locust buster 5000

Pretty evening for a cruise

It wouldn’t be a Missouri bean field if access didn’t involve driving past some guys house, around the deer stand and off into a ditch. Only to be watched while half the township sits in the edge of the field…

@tmonteIH @gdi_ag @Dusty3080467325 Everyone knows that Turd gear is the one to use to put ‘er in the sand pile and registration desk.

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@CowsnRedbirds Same deal here. Picked the wrong spring to plow up and try to fix some waterways…

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@DanAllred1 @PETERSONIHFARMS @SeanOfNowhere Isn’t there something about the volume of the lead plates in the 2 6s that changes the reserve capacity vs a single 12? Again, the comparison may not be as relevant with the advent of better battery design. Don’t think group 31 was a thing when the 2-6s was a thing

[Tom Head @tw_head]

Does anyone make a semi-factory looking battery box for a 56 series Ih to use a single group 31 battery? @PETERSONIHFARMS @DanAllred1

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@DanAllred1 @PETERSONIHFARMS @SeanOfNowhere Converted an 8n to 12v several years ago. 6v starter lasted 2-3 years before it lost its smoke.

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@DanAllred1 @PETERSONIHFARMS 756. One of the 6vs didn’t survive the winter. Trying to decide if I replace 1 6v, 2-6v or 1-12v. 1 group 31 would be the cheaper option.

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@PETERSONIHFARMS @SeanOfNowhere @DanAllred1 I think…could be wrong…but if all cables and connections are 100% and both batteries good, the 6v pair should have more cranking capacity than what a single 12v would. Especially what was available for 12v batteries in 1970. A single 31 has fewer posts to clean however…

[Tom Head @tw_head]

@PETERSONIHFARMS @DanAllred1 Looking at this as an option, or may just weld something up.

Had one not survive the winter but frustration goes deeper. Right hand battery was the demise of my grandpa’s 756 when it rubbed through and then arced against the fuel tank.
