I bet that drill is a real challenge for that 1950 NOTTT!!!! Cool picture, but how do you stand that Detroit with no muffler on it??? Bet you say HUH a lot.....

We are drilling this week too, mostly Rye, Barley, and some wheat for wet baling next year. Corse we are running a 12 foot haybuster no till drill behind the 1850. Now on some of our red clay hills that will make that Cummins 1850 snort and beller. Its been so wet here we have only been able to till about 3 fields this fall, the rest will go no till.

Thanks for the great picture.

Shep are you no-tilling behind corn? Have you done this before and does it work OK? I've been plowing first but would rather not but the corn leave so much fodder I am afraid I can't get through it. By the way just finish corn harvest--160 bu/ac--really good crop.

Sure, we no till small grain right in behid corn that we chopped, not much fodder left when you chop corn. Works good. The hard part is in the spring when we mow and bale the small grain and wet wrap it, the ground is normally damp and then the spring sun hits our clay and turns it into bricks and then we have to rip it back up to plant corn because the ground is soooo hard.

Now if your shelling corn you will need to run a shredder, or a bush hog maybe twice, behind the combine before no tilling to bust up the fodder, but you can do that too. I have no tilled behind the combine before and the discs on the drill normally tear the fodder up pretty good after you bush hog them. You need to have good pressure on your openers and have them in good shape to cut the fodder. Then alot of times we round bale the small grain, and you can see very little corn fodder left in the grain when you mow it.

Cant believe you guys are shelling already, you must be near the coast. We are in the middle of chopping and puttin in about 45% moisture corn silage or so. I havent tested any ears yet, but it still has to be at least 20% on the shelled corn I would think. We are probably a month from shelling anything except high moisture around here.

About 30-35 mile from the Chespeake. I would guess the shelling is maybe one week from done. Lot guys have their barley in already. Thought maybe you were no-tilling after chopping. I had heard to no-till after shelling I would need to chop the stalks and then use a heavy drill. I'll plow this year to get the ground as smooth as possible then try no-till next time around. The 1855 will pull a 12 foot but it is all she wants. Duals would help and if this turns out to be the way to go I'll put a pair on.

Yeah, we use a 10 foot Haybuster most of the time and pull it with the 1850 Cummins and it has plenty of power for that drill. We rent the haybuster, but am hoping that this year or next we can buy one, we are using the no till drills more and more. I was thinking of getting a 12 foot sunflower or maybe a great plains depending on what they look like.

I wouldnt think you would need duals for a no till drill, but your soil is a lot softer than ours.

I will be headed your way next week. The misses and me are taking some time off and going to Sandbridge for some R&R. We rented a house on the water and Im going to Captin Georges for some good sea food....
