With the price of machinery I never would have thought we would have I new drill and tractor. But I am liking both.

Does it have air tanks, and a governor, similar to a semi? I would check the governor if it does.

Its got an air tank but i didnt see a governor like the truck has. Kinda confusing since it hasnt done that before when i moved it. Calling john deere tech first thing in the AM. Ill keep ya posted.

It's been over 5 years since I worked at the John Deere dealer, so I can't really remember what the system is like.

I guess thats the way its suppose to run. I would think it would be hard on the compressor but the tech says they have never had one go bad even dating back to the 4700 days. I suppose its better that way since the suspension is constantly working.

Thanks, I was speaking with them and I was going to demo a unit to seed my hay stubble but could not get it arranged.

They work great for that. Just pulls harder. We've done that on a few fields with good results, even did some canola into alfalfa stubble this year with really good results. The big rain help there too though...

Makes sense I guess.

Ya my 5710 is tough slow pull (2.5-3.0mph) but I have to remind myself it is only one pull. Canola on hay stubble, I have never had the balls to try. Rain is key to success. Keep us posted on how your crop does over the season.

Check your airbags, on my 4830 the levelers are on top of the airbag housing.

Nice set up you got there, how many acres do you put in with that unit?

Nice unit but where are the tracks?

So, after accepting the bet, Mo-May Mayhem is finally over. Seeding complete for a bit and now the beard comes off! Have to say I will not miss it!

I now know why I prefer lino to carpet, maybe that comment was for another thread.....

HaHa. I only had a 10 day beard this spring. I was pretty happy to shave it as well but not near bad enough to get it custom cut. Lol.

That custom cut comment wouldnt have been so good had this not been the farmer thread.

6000 acres with the drill but for the first half it was being pulled by a 976 ford versatile but the atom jet pump we put on it was giving us issues so we bought the new tractor a year early to finish seeding witch we are almost done only 120 acres to go

Nice unit but where are the tracks?

My dad doesn't like the tracks we tried one last year when we demoed the drill. He mostly likes the challenger for the cat engine and the weight of it. it is a nice tractor.

I got a little stuck today.

Better remember where those ruts are at harvest time. Lol.

O.K., if you had tracks you would unhook and walk away. Hook up with strap to get drill, depending on how stuck the drill is. Just my thoughts...

Not fun with all that equipment behind you!

This job sucks!! Yawn!!

That is what I did took about 20 min but I couldn't get back to seeding because it was raining pretty heavy.
