Farmer talk

Water hauling, could be doing a few disease passes on pulses, and much quicker being by myself.. just put up some 400barrel tanks so plan to haul bulk diesel as well.. for just over 10k I thought it was a decent buy..

 

[snopro]

Thats a helluva nurse tanks for the High Clearance sprayer. You are going to need to hire a kid and pay him $5/hr to sit and fill them for you haha

 

[fredw]

Want to set up a 400barrel at the water well with a solar pump to fill it and then just gravity feed sprayer and tanker.. neighbor set one up like that and can fill his sprayer under three minutes with three inch line..

Used 400 barrel tanks are pretty cheap now, work well easy to drain in fall, and easy to move

I had a operator at a water treatment plant tell me that farmers buy treated potable water for their spray needs because it makes the chemical more effective and is better for the nozzles.

 

[fredw]

Soft water also more effective than hard with certain chems.. there is few guys I know use city water and promote it

I seen them but never bid.. we are tremble here on the farm.. people need to do there homework.. these auctions should be a deal for buyer, not the seller

What would this be worth.

John Deere 790 - 275.3 hrs.
It’s a 4 speed has low and high. 4wd. Bucket has 09 98 John Deere stamped on hydraulic boom.
Back has blade.

 

[rknight111]

I only used the back blade for my bush trail. Have a bobcat. Don’t need this anymore. Very clean engine, runs excellent.

 

[snopro]

I bet it would go 12000 minimum maybe 15000 Ron. Don't hold me to it but I would call a Deere dealer and see. Low hrs and clean will bring good money even though its an 09'

We use treated town water. More for the quick filling ability and you don't have to worry about plugged nozzles as the water is a lot cleaner than from a pond or canal

Hey guys the diesel thats at the pumps right now. How far into the warmer weather can a person run that in truck before it may cause fuel pump problems? Thinking of buying some.

Don't the chemical companies have recomendations for type of water to use for best results. You pay through the nose for that stuff, be nice to get a better bang for you buck.

Like Fred was saying softer water is much better than hard water. I 've had great results over the years with town water.

I was just thinking. I think Cat401 is a Deere salesman. Maybe he can get you a number Ron.

Your buying summer diesel after last week in March.. bought a btrain two weeks back of summer.. and even if it's winter number one diesel, it don't hurt your motor to use it.. just has less energy in it and your be down in power some is my understanding

 

[jhurkot]

So you’re telling me my dad made me pick rocks by hand my whole life when there is a machine that can do it?

 

[Bernoff]

I can remember my Dad pulling hay rack with his 4 sons throwing rocks onto it. Lol When we got to side of field we had to unload the dam thing to. If we didn't unload it properly it would dump by itself. He would be pissed because the rack wasn't easy to put back on the frame again. Good Times
