I agree on the value of knowing the field- makes it much easier. Did some night custom planting a few years ago and made sure to outline the second field while still light out. Hit the third field about 2AM and had a good fenceline to start with. Middle of the field had a meandering ditch in it so I waited til daylight to strike out past one of it's lumps. Needed a nap by then anyway. Planted 110 acres overnight. Side lights front and rear to see a 24 foot FC show up fine on an 8-30 planter. I've planted almost as much at night as in daytime and the JD monitor has never failed- would rather plant at night with that, than in daytime without one. I plugged the annoying buzzer with duct seal, and at night use a magnet to hold a shop towel over the light bar- can still see the lights but don't lose night vision from glare.
