00:00
A lot of times we're out here when we really shouldn't be. That's like the, that's what US farmers do.
00:05
Ground is dry right now, but if you peel back this ground underneath, it's wet. And with our planters nowadays being so heavy,
00:12
we're having this pinch row issue. And when I talk about pinch rows, I'm talking about we're the tires
00:17
and the planters run, you know, you're putting sidewall compaction on those other rows and we've seen, like in through the field,
00:24
you can actually see right where the tractor runs. And we've had massive issues with that. You know, the bigger the planters get,
00:30
the more we get stressed out, the more we kind of push limits. And now you're telling me
00:34
that you've got something that'll help me with that. Yeah. So we've got load logic on this planter.
00:39
So we've got a combination of a couple things. So we've got the tire inflation system that as soon as you open the planter up, it's gonna go into plant mode
00:45
and it's gonna deflate the tires down to 15 PSI. And then inside the spindles on the wheels, there's a smart hub in there
00:51
that's gonna take a weight measurement and that's gonna tell the computer on the planter how to disperse the weight evenly across the,
00:57
the whole main frame of there. So your footprint is literally on this planter, it's 40 feet wide.
01:02
So instead of just having everything on a pinch row, we're spread that out. So deflating the tires on there, we're expanding
01:07
that footprint of that tire. So we're able to carry that weight up front away from the rows and not have that pinch row.
01:13
Yeah. See we, I mean like where we run our planters, you'll see like a real defined mark exactly where each tire track went.
01:21
We actually have to set our planters differently on the center section than what I did on this planter. I set every row basically exactly the same.
01:28
And on my other planters, I don't get to do that wherever there's a tire, I'm sitting at a half a hole deeper
01:34
and I run into these problems all the time. Yep. So it's kind of one of these things that, you know, small things, it goes a long way
01:41
and you don't realize how much yield you're actually robbing from yourself. Yeah. We're seeing anywhere from five
01:47
to seven bushel difference on, on those pinch rows. So if you take that across the, an operation of, you know, three, four, 5,000 acres, it adds up. Farmers
01:55
Get to the point, you get backed in the corner and you push yourself and we'll go out there and run a vertical tillage tool on over to top the ground
02:02
and all of a sudden it becomes dry. That's exactly what I did yesterday, by the way. I was really, shouldn't have been out here,
02:07
but I was out here anyway because we, I mean, it's middle of May. Sure. We're getting behind. We got a rain coming
02:12
and we push the limits. I know I'm gonna have pinch rows. I'm hoping that I can show that I don't have it on this one.
02:18
We're confident that you won't have that on here. Alright. I.
