Good to know so the Madds make a difference.

You can see clearly why they work so much better . Case narrow wire tend to get straw pinned up thus reducing capacity of grain threshing. That’s why they can be so finicky even in slightly tougher conditions.
These pictures are from this morning, straw and grain were still good last night when we shut down at 11:30 ....... doing wheat .

Some dealers won't rent SFA ...they are in the business of selling is what I am told.....true....and they use Ritchie Bros every quarter....and for pricing trades....

This beautiful weather opens the door to big fall building projects for us 👍

Seed alfalfa , no blanks , no other mods
Just madd concaves
Seed ready for the drill
Incidentally , alfalfa seed is 50 cents a pound and no one wants it
Hope these savings are getting passed on to you cattle guys ?

Oh yeah, a lot cheaper. Down to $3.50/lb from $4.50/lb - I guess the inoculant must be expensive LOL.

Should trade some if that grade a barley/grass fed beef for some of this worthless seed

Caseih- if my memory is correct a few years ago I bought 27 bags at 50# and the bill was about 9000.00
It was mostly alfalfa then brome and Timothy. Ducks unlimited gave back 100.00 dollars a bag.
So in the end it was pretty close to five dollars a pound.

That’s a beautiful looking hoper full, that case sure does a nice job.

What variety of alfalfa is it?

What variety of alfalfa is it?

we have Longview and Algonquin , about 1000 bu of each

Our Iron Maiden has "Madd" style seperator grates. It has regular wide or narrow(depending what you put in) spaced concaves ahead of them. I thought it would make it very tough to unplug a rotor by reversing it, since they look like they would prevent the slug from (easily)moving in the opposite direction of the rotor's normal rotation. "Fortunately" we never had to find out this year.

Has anyone had the misfortune of finding out how they stand up to a foreign object, a rock or hunk of metal? Better than or worse than regular concaves?

Wouldn't need a lot in terms of your quantities but I could take some as I'm planning on frost seeding some in the spring. I'd pay you a good better than you are getting now.
