Drew Sent Out an Updated Forcast

[Klause]

3" of rain for the area.

Oh yeah. Anyone got some rice seed? We won't need to flood any paddocks.

Going to be home for a few days and gone again.... I going cookoooo. Should I put new openers on the drill, or drop them in the tank and park it in the shed?

[hobbyfrmr]

If its that wet, you have the time, put the new openers on. You never know what will happen. If you dont put them on, and you get a small window for planting,then its your fault. I have a few neighbors who talk and act this way and I have very low regard for them and their backwards self defeating bullshit. Put them on, the absolute worse thing that could happen is that they will be on the machine for next year.

Go Riggin. If you've got no fert invested in the ground yet not much lost. Best of Luck Klause. Remember its not what you did you were gettin prepared its out of your hands.

I got a dumb question Sask,or anyone.

I remember you saying you had a 4710 sprayer,how
did you deside how much water it could go through
and what do you do when you start sinking?

I have been gearing down and then flipping the
traction control on,but should i also be pulling back
on the throttle and slowing down,or keep it pinned in
first gear with traction on?

[Klause]

It was a figure of speech, hobbyfmr


I'm doing some little stuff.... touching up paint, fixing minor oil sweats.... can't really do anything else... my quonset has water in it,
and I can't find a dry place anywhere in my yard anymore...


Will be heading out for work if we can't seed... help out some friends with seeding, then head to the patch. It would feel extremely
weird having no crop .

We now use a 4720 last three years. "On land that I know very well Pin it and then as I am going through pull back a little in dicey spot and then pin it again. I have taken it through 3ft deep slough but that time I was lucky. With big tires it goes through a lot of stuff. If their is water last year you were safe but if their was just mud you were sunk.
Good luck you saw the for cast.

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh I just remembered something about our 4710. We hanged 1200 lbs or 1000 lbs I cant remember exactly on front. It was a kit from JD. Wow it got me through more shit than traction control. Seems it balanced the machine out better and front tires actually pulled you out.

[hedgehog]

is that all your snow melt filling up the mississipi?

[FarmForProfit]

I had a custom sprayer stuck about 4
years ago with a JD sprayer (not sure of
the model) and he said when he got stuck
he boomed in as it helped the weight
distribution. I thought how much could
it help? I pulled him out onto better
ground, we unhooked the chain and as he
boomed out the back wheels sank into the
ground so we hooked up the chain again.
So I can see where the front weights
would help. God I hate mud.

Put duals on the rear and go through everything, it is easier on the machine because it isnt trying to crawl out of a hole all the time. Had them on last year and we are putting them on our new 4730 today. It is the best was to go in these conditions.

[vvalk]

Thats one reason why I like the Miller Nitro. Balanced very well. Hard to get stuck. Big tires(800/70/38), big power (365 hp), 5 speed transmission, 1600 gallon tank and front mount booms make a good combination. IMHO

[SASKFARMER3]

I like the Duals Idea Breadwinner. Hey wouldnt a 800 metric work.

[furrowtickler]

We just went with 20.8 38's kept the back wheels wide front tires narrow. Works very well, and a hell of a lot cheaper than duals or metrics. If you ever get a flat with those big metrics good luck getting one asap and are extreemly expensve. 20.8's are very common and cheap.

[TOM4CWB]

Breadwinner,

What Tires on the 4730 do you have... did you use as the duals on back?

How do you attach them???
