[rakerman102]

[farmerallis]

that 275 is sounding healthy

[farmerallis]

@picturama why do you say that?

[8300JohnDeere]

love the tractor

[LackoFarms]

nice video KINZE is the only planter I use!! I just dont know that I could get used to NOT using the row markers lol

[caseih100]

is that by a gps and how muck do they cost jds are around 15,000

[mx270a]

Yes, a Trimble AutoPilot. $15K would be about right.

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

24 row is wide i think that is what we will be getting next but jd has a 48 row so that is 120 feet its HUGE.

[SteelMan036]

dude those jd db120 48 row planters are frickin huge! they also cost about $300,000-$350,000!

[clkclkboom04]

Nice vid, me and my brother farm about 7000 acres and we got 5000 of that into corn this year, we run 2 8530 john deeres with 24row jd ccs planters. But no matter what color, or number of acres, or any of that just remember we have the best job in the world. Good luck to you and always have fun.

[MYTFarms]

Best job in the world is right. I couldn't be happy doing anything else. Thanks for the folks who post this stuff, and thank you farmers for doing what you do!

[tractors1974]

the ward brothers

[mx270a]

The name doesn't sound familiar. Sorry.

[tractors1974]

do u know the guys from monti iowa

[mx270a]

There are a few million people in IA. I don't know them all.

[shaunbaker04]

24 Rows? holy shitte how far apart are the spacings?

[mx270a]

30 inch rows.

[Magnum9250]

super video Lance!

[DFarms001]

I forgot to ask, are you guys running on CORS?

[mx270a]

No. That tractor is on OmniStar XP

[DFarms001]

Ok then, I did not realize XP was accurate enough to plant without markers.

[DFarms001]

You guys are going to really like that planter. Whenever we switched from a 16 row in 2005 it was amazing how much more you could get done.

[mx270a]

We like the 24 row part. Not so in love with the hydraulic drive variable rate part.

[DFarms001]

Yeah, the those are not very popular around here.

[IHMan1066]

cool video nice MX and Kinze setup ;) how wet is it up there? here in central illinois nobody has gotten into the fields yet

[mx270a]

Soil conditions were perfect when we started a week ago, and are almost too dry now. We could use an inch of rain.

[IHMan1066]

Wow where in Iowa? Northern Iowa? We need about a week of good dry weather before anyone can really get going.

[mx270a]

Eastern IA. Near Cedar Rapids.

[tmx864]

some good looking machinery

[dairyfarmer83]

Very nice video. Conditions look great there, we can't get a break around here. Every time it dries up enough to start it rains the next day. Keep up the good work.

[Portnob]

nice

[Farmerknowsbest]

Sweet! Did you keep the other planter for beans? Or something else new coming?

[mx270a]

Yes, the other one has interplant, so it will be our soybean machine. If the season were late like last year, we would be running it on corn too, but right now it looks like we'll be done soon enough.
