How hard does that 16 row pull? I demoed a 12 row last year but couldn't tell for sure if our 9400 or 9420 would be enough to pull a 16 row.

[southwestfamilyfarms]

It does pull hard. we use to run a 16row DMI with a 9330 and had no problem. we had to rent a 9520 last year to pull the. we went ahead and went with the 9630t to pull the deere 16row and we pull a 54' sweep in the summer on our dryland fallow ground.

very interesting stuff, is trip-till better than no-till? Over here in Europe we don't see this at all.

[southwestfamilyfarms]

It depends on who you ask. Our soils aren't real dark glaciated soils like you see in the corn belt. There are very few farmers around us the no-till their irrigated ground. There's a lot of surface compaction that occurs during harvest and we get very little winter moisture that helps freezing/thawing to loosen up the soil. Strip-tilling allows us to get the fertilizer where we need it and do some slight tillage. We do no-till our dry land ground. We get under 16" of rain/yr.

Most be nice to be in the fields already how fast u going

[southwestfamilyfarms]

We have been in the field for 4 days around the 1st of the yr. and 5 days in the beginning of Feb.  We usually don't freeze too bad and we get very little winter moisture. Total precip/year here is under 16"

@redneckfarmer I bet the 9400 could pull it.

how deep you tilling?

[mjbltterswijk]

how far apart is your rows?and what are u seeding?can a guy get that in 10 or 12inch rows for cerials?

[DFarms001]

Thank you! We would like to strip 16 and plant 24. Really I don't think it would be a big deal as long as everything is calibrated as you said.

i wish we got that much here at home (eaton, co) i think we only get 13inches on avg but had more than that last year maybe 18 was wet at planting time and early harvest until the gorund froze

[southwestfamilyfarms]
