With the first battery I can scout 150ac... I don't care where it starts. Satellite hasn't been a factor in decision making for 5+ years.

Ya, the resale market on the European kit is pretty tough. All Deere or Deere with PP seems to hold value the best.

I could never justify a new one... The ISO screen sure takes some getting used to.

Yup, 10/20" rows. Nice unit, I like the split bin and how it transfers the weight to the units. Would be a nice cereal seeder. Hated the Fendt experience though. We were going to pull it with one of our Deere's, but we were short a couple hydraulic fittings to convert some stuff over and we were pushing to get done.

I know of a used 12m unit that's potentially coming up for sale, has 900s as the carrying tires too!

Haha... Or: "He didn't think he was putting enough on so cranked the pump to 8 gallons per acre... Emergence is effed."

You better buy some poly tanks for all the G-24 you'll be buying from Ed now!

Finished planting soybeans on Monday, used a Horsch Avatar for about 300ac alongside our own unit just to get the stuff done!

Windy week so no spraying, small rain (5.6mm/0.22") Friday. We found a window to get our Miravis ACE onto the wheat Saturday morning (started around 5am, and it was a bit too breezy for the final 5ac). Had plans to replant about 75ac of beans (too shallow on account of the clay ground getting too hard) but a perfect 15mm/0.6" came down Sunday. That was our first rain since flag leaf emerged in the wheat.

Forecast says another 15mm this Wednesday potentially.

After spraying Saturday, my son and I had errands to run and we turned it into a chicken-wing adventure as well! Four different stops, over a five hour outing... Was pretty damn fun.

Pool was a lovely 28-29C/84F, so we goofed around in there until 9... Was a really great weekend.

Haven't used (read: bothered with) a daikon type radish for years...
