"Did they spray them down first? Most of our stubble has pretty dense redclover and we use a plow to kill it but a chisel plow wont."

"There a great combine, but purchasing used you need to check everything on it so you know it's not a lemon. My advice- Take a GOOD mechanic that knows the combine inside and out with you to go look at it."

Moldboard Plowing

Hey all,We just upgraded our old one way plow to a five furrow semi-mount overum rollover. It works amazing, leaves no finish and cuts almost a third off our time. However, it leaves almost a 100ft headland to work with, and we lost any time gained last year on plowing headlands. Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this? Either by making a smaller headland or a tillage tool that can manage headlands quicker? Any thoughts are appreciated!See More

"Goats are a good natural solution. However, the trees will need to be cut or bladed down with a dozer depending on how many there are."

RTS and How it Affects Yield

What did everybody find in yield difference that used an RTS system last year? We're finding a mould board plough is causing too much organic matter erosion over time and are trying to see what works better.See More
