I think we’ve all been waiting for another technology to make a big shift in our efficiencies and see and spray tech is it. It’s going to be big.
We are super happy with our See and Spray. Just spraying for thistles. On this 160 ac we saved 66% of chemical or 1370 dollars plus less impact on the environment.

A friend of mine’s son is looking to work for a custom harvest crew. Any recommendations out there for a great custom harvest outfit in the US or Canada?

Just wanted to thank @RDRWA, AWES, @KneehillCounty for supporting our watershed rehabilitation and really cool pollinator habitat project. 2000 flowering tree seedlings and soon 30 legume species will all provide forage for bees and beneficial insects from Apr-Oct.

Question: John Deere 9750. Engine oil pressure alarm stays on and sensor alarm board lights flicker. Oil pressure is good. Rotor and header engages but alarm sounds constantly when I engage hydro. Any ideas? Ground? Relay? NDP :)

After all the messing around changing batteries, solenoids, relays and cleaning grounds. it was the circuit board above the visor causing the alarms to go off.

That permanent power grab argument had a short shelf life.
