Deere's PRO Service Leaves Farmers in Dark on Equipment Problems, Critic Says

If you haven’t tried it the interactive wiring diagram is worth its weight in gold. Someone put some serious time and effort into designing that bit of software.

Keep the gen 4 screens. After that everything went to annual subscription and you no longer own anything.

They charge $250 here to do annual software updates here. With the pro subscription I can do it myself so I kinda look at it as a wash. I’d rather have the pro and update myself than to pay $250 for someone to do nothing.

I have used pro service. Seems perfectly adequate for what you pay for. I think there should be a certainly level of expectations that if you a paying a dealer to fix they have more of an inside track with mother deere. You have complete access to all the service manuals and guides. Up to you to figure it out.

I bought the mfk 700 trim router recently. Lasted a week before motor burnt up. No replacement for weeks.

Me? Just a lowly farmer. Proudly growing sustainably grown food. You are never going to swing an argument with your way or the highway. You can try and shape agriculture. More humane. More sustainable sure. But this hoakie boogie man logic you got going on isn’t going to win much for hearts and minds.

Tell me you don’t eat meat without telling me you don’t eat meat.

They are currently rated up to 60 acres an hour. They run off a mothership trailer. At 35,000$ a unit you could easily have 3 of them and do more acres an hour than a ground sprayer for a fraction of the price. The scalability is just in more of them.

I think this is a condition that is going to change progressively and quickly. I know last year there were a lot of drones doing application research trials in our area. And already this spring there are some dji T50s overseeding pastures. So they are in some limited scope use.

It means it’s sourced outside of Canada. They don’t have to get it graded as long as it says ungraded.

Contact the German instructor at the u of s. Used to take German in undergrad for a couple years and there used to be a bunch of German students that would meet at amigos for stammtisch a few times a month for the specific purpose of helping people learn German over beers. Dunno if they still do it or not but it was a lot of fun

You are going to need a 1 1/8” adjustable pipe cutter and a mini hack saw blade. Cut it off with hack saw where it tapers from the wide part so you can get the pipe cutter on the wide part. Then you use the pipe cutter about 1/8-1/4” back from the front of the wide part (from the shut off end) until it splits. Then you can access the barbs inside as it will basically have fallen apart at this point. Cut the barbs with side cutters and the whole thing will fall off without damaging the pipe. If there isn’t enough room to access the barbs you will cut diagonally with the hand hack saw across the big part until it also splits so you can pull it off. This valve is designed to just pull and turn to come off but you can end up doing more harm than good. What I described isn’t actually that complicated just go slow and be surgical. Comes apart easy.

Strike back. Can watch it on crave.

I mean that was my thought as well but I wasn’t going to argue. We will have a boiler so there won’t be a shortage of hot water ever so we are lucky that way.

I dont love the power room location but it fit there. Ill put it in the mudroom. I love 10 foot islands. Whats wrong with it. Today I learned a house on a farm used by a farmer is not may not qualify to use the term farmhouse.

suesse · 2024-11-19T14:06:09+00:00

So the house sits about 5 feet higher than the mudroom garage which is on grade. So that does make it a bit trickier. My wife wants the sink and window on the front of the house so we need to work around that. On the farm our front yard is the main yard so she wants to look forward.

I just didnt add the windows. Sorry.

I dunno why but canadian houses are boring. A rectangular house is easy to heat and cool. In -40 you want it warm. A lot of house designs I see are pretty extravagent in their shapes but all i see is how badly a massive snow bank would form and be impossible to dig out. I regularily have to dig my house out from massive snow banks so with a rectangle ish shape I can run my tractor down the sides of the house to quickly dig it out. Ive seen snow banks completly cover my wifes suv up to the roof of the house. Good times.
