seeding???

[grassfarmer]

Got our oats for silage seeded into almost perfect
conditions. Busy seeding round here last couple of
days, earlier than usual for this area but we've only
had @2'' of precip. since April first.
If it wasn't for fear of my neighbours strangling me
I'd ask for 6'' of rain over the next two weeks - the
land and grass could take it.

Klause this area just got an attitude adjustment. Did the drive around assessment tonight, before this last rain at least there were only a few sloughs to go around, now I am afraid every low spot is saturated, will sit down with main man tomorrow and tell him my assessment. Instead of v ditching thing we must hook onto the 70 foot morris harrow with the 535 and go mudding, he should be happy., lol. Gotta try anyway. gotta dry this soil out. Its like cotton states, just a few timely rains and were screwed. May be a good year for a quad track. Saturated soil is not good to plant into so I believe harrowing to scratch and dry is a good option. Seems like the stuff that has been worked deep is like bottomless so glad I don't have that. None the less its going to be a wet start here.

Hopper did you get 3" like Humboldt?
5" Saskatoon is the talk?

Edmonton area, we are going hard. Ground is a little cold but moisture near ideal. Seeding fenceline to fenceline so far. Anybody an expert in operating an Outback, new sprayer has one, but can't get it to engage.

1.5 hrs SE Edmonton. Grounds been over 8 degrees for 10 days now.
Peas being mudded in. Different drill, getting stuck. Makin a mess on heavier land. The newer the bourgault the heavier per foot!
Will have to reassess battle plan after peas in?

We got one inch in the last rain. Drainage ditches barely running just that every low spot saturated with water that will take a long time to go away sort of thing. I thought Humboldt got more in this last one but did not think that much. We were getting more in the earlier showers.

Forcast is looking nicer this morning.

Wed and Thur look bad then some good
weather. We need heat and wind, lots of
wind.
water lying all over the field.

Go back into the settings. Something has to be set, reset, or turned on to make work. Have a automate on my sprayer and had to go into the GPS settings to turn a couple windows on to make work. They work good when they work!!

Aerial applicators are out spraying winter wheat.
On with the show!

With outback touch screen? It should be the icon
that looks like a half moon. You can set it to
engage when your close to your line (manually)
or set it to auto catch the line. I prefer manual
because otherwise after your turn it 'hunts' or
fishtales more with the auto line catch. If you
don't have the touch screen but the lights
only....price out the touch screen very easy to
learn. Really like the visual display and the fact
it's super easy to find where you or any other
operator left off.

JD system had me stumped for a bit on the
harrow today...went from swather setting to row
crop tractor...after being jerked around a bit found
the articulated mode ...fixed. O ya for the old jd's
that arn't updated try 1539.8725 freq.

Hi Allfarmer,

(Sorry about the highjacked thread)

Got it to engage somehow yesterday. It was either the foot switch, the engage button on the joystick or pressing the steering icon on the tough screen. Its a bitch when new equipment shows up in the middle of the season and you don't have time to read the manual. Plus haven't figured out how to disengage the automate to spray manually. 7660
