Just like that, the legumes are licked. Long weekend… Perhaps. Forage work and wheat seeding all done also.

If you tow a header cart or anything behind your combine with a Lankota hitch … get off of your phone and check the welds. I bump away from disaster here.

I shouldn’t state the brand - I don’t know for sure what make it is .. point is whatever make your hitch is , this is scary stuff.

Astron is the faulty brand. Lankota exonerated

On farm Sprayer loading site dream layout - how would you set it up? What would you include, what would you not invest in ?

Field prepped for 2026 corn crop. I don’t post much anymore, thought I’d share how the strips are looking. 5t Broiler and 60lbs Oats worked in with speed disc. Strip tilled 3 weeks later.

A HUGE thank you to @KubotaCanadaLtd for hosting our board meeting yesterday at their (incredible) facility near Pickering. Awesome Kubota-style hospitality!

Basically no pipe thread on anything other than a few small chem and rinse lines.

Getting the hang of SprayTender2.0. 1200 gal load with 300L of chem in 5 minutes. All chem totes loaded by weight again. No flow meter to cal, and no line restrictions. 20hp motor. Option to self load through the hose reel. A few options to add yet. ⁦@RLuymes⁩

I’m not sure if this is what the GMC engineers had in mind , but it’s about the only practical use I’ve found for the wheel / curb cameras .

This is the biggest struggle with any side by side chem or variety comparison. And the reason that I hate doing them.

Took off a plot today and weighed the results with combine’s Active Yield vs our tender. Important call out that one can’t always watch the yield monitor when evaluating strip/small scale trials. Over the course of the whole field they’re accurate but not on individual passes
