Planting Corn

[Farmall806master]

i have a 4240 sadly its on its last leg it needs an overhaul plan to do that this spring but 4240s are a real good tractor

What kind of no-tills do you have on there? Yetter? And what were you no-tilling into? I am going to be no-tilling into sod with a JD 7000 and yetter nt coulters.

@TheTuckerFarms yetter cleaners with no till coulters and double disk openers. No tilling in wheat stubble. added chains last year.

i am going to be getting in to corn farming in illinios or indiana. how many acres do you grow?

[caseman1134]

That remindes me so much of the 4240 we had, I really miss it

[rbrentbillingsley]

@caseman1134 wish i had gotten a 4440 or 4455 now for more HP, but the 4240 is solid. 

[caseman1134]

@rbrentbillingsley the one we had had the fuel pump turned up to where it was pushing the same HP as a 4440, it was a beast

[ludelltrapper]

do you like those closing wheels better than the rubber john deere style

[rbrentbillingsley]

Seem to do a good job in damp ground, but not so much in dry ground. Chains are recommended.
