Was fairly straight forward for the box, auger & back steps were more complicated.

Are there any tractor hydraulic gurus that can help diagnose this noise? Replaced hyd pump, valves & fittings but no luck. Can see bubbles in oil tank so must be getting air in system somewhere, hyd’s eventually non operational. Dealer has raised with CNH support but no luck

Hope you're right mate, our probes are showing showing similar starting moisture to 2022. Red line was medic last year, blue wheat.

Any ISOBUS/ Ag tech gurus able to help? We’re setting up a new (to us) air cart & would like to run it iso. However we only have a poxy little intelliview 3 screen in current tractor. Options are run it through the IV3, upgrade to an IV4, use the cart screen or something else?

Nothings changed & that might’ve be the problem! Upgraded firmware to 10.18 and all good. I was sure we’d used x-fill since the frequency changed but perhaps not. Only a couple paddocks in a hollow about 12kms from our tower that we need it. Thanks for your help anyway 👍

Can any Trimble GPS experts help here.. can’t get x-fill to work, if we lose our tower for a minute it goes just into float. Settings are same as Pro700 & that works fine. Used to be a little ((X)) in top left corner but it’s disappeared 🤷‍♂️

I've posted this before but these are NDVI & Yeild screenshots from an on farm demonstration 2022. Fallow areas had some soil cover (hay previously) and 21/22 summer was probably wettest on record. Weeds were mostly heliotrope & melons, summer crop was a multi mix

Final results are in, as expected a yield penalty from summer crop to summer fallow. Probably didn't expect it to be quite so significant. Fair to say I'm cured of any desire to sow summer crops, another summer on the boom coming up!
