That’ll happen in due time !! I have my eye on a sweet Kenworth day cab cabover with a 10spd and a wet kit

You having any issues with bird flu?

 

[Seachaser]

Grass carp?

Yes. They’re sterile. You have to restock every 5-10 years.

I have three in my pond. The biggest one is pushing 3ft long the other two are easily 2 footers. They do a good job keeping the pond clean but it’s only 1/4 acre and I have koi. The koi kinda keep things stirred up but they help with the vegetation as well.

You having any issues with bird flu?

Disc harrow?

Disc harrow?

Believe so but curious because that’s not a large disc considering the horsepower being used it seems like a demanding disc

862NT - Wishek Manufacturing

It is far from a standard disc

What are you pulling?

Disc harrow?

26’ Wishek 862NT heavy disc. It weighs around 34,000lbs with the extra weight kit on it. It has 30” diameter blades and will cut in 12” if I let it. When it’s buried to the spools it will make that 500hp tractor cry. In the pic above I was going 4-5” and just scratching the surface to get the chicken litter worked in.



Better short of the back end. The harrow teeth are 18” long and 5/8” diameter. It’s a tillage disc so it isn’t meant to be planted behind. We have a finishing disc and a field cultivator we will go over the ground again with before planting after we’ve picked the rocks. The tires are 385 semi tires for a visual size reference. I’m 6’2” and when it’s lifted out of the ground I can set my chin on the top of the main frame. It’s a big boy.

I’ve got a 330 tandem case. Pulls pretty bad but nothing like what you’re talking there. Never saw one around here. I notill almost all of my crops. That’s what works good for us over on the east coast

That’s a darn nice disc ! I have an RMX340 that has seen a lot of use. I have the third set of blades for it new on a pallet waiting to go on hopefully this spring yet. The current ones are down to 17” I believe.

 

[jakethesnake]

[jblnut]

When the hell were they born?

Get ahead of the game................and no these are not green Cheerios. The calves and mommas do not get any "cheer" from them.
