I saw in Rob's initial review that a con of the Titan blinds is the plexiglass window vs a glass. My concern is that over time the plexiglass will get scratched up. Seems like most of the time in the blind during cold weather I need to wipe condensation off the windows (or scrape frost) and I...

I am getting ready to spray my 52ac tree planting and stressing about spraying glyphosate on them for fear of killing the trees. Light bulb just went off that I can spray clethodim on them and not have to worry about hurting trees. Anybody know of any problems with this? Obviously will only...

The main frame is very heavy duty, have not tried it yet but think it will do everything I need with any extra weight.

I just finished a two year project doing 52ac into a tree crp program. Now lots of mowing and spraying going forward! Last year was largest planting and could not have gotten more lucky on a perfect year.

Thanks all for input. I ended up buying a big heavy Krause disc with wings on it. Took the wings off and should have a lifetime supply of discs and bearings along with spare tires. Crazy that the mid sized farm equipment is better deals than the small food plot sized equipment. Supply and...

Guessing that Duracor will smoke alfalfa as it is made to kill all broadleafs to my knowledge.

I need to clean out a couple of lightweight tsi chainsaws if anybody is in the market. Have two Stihl MS 261 16" both great shape with little use, a Dolmar 5100S 18", and an Echo X Series (their commercial line) CS-501P 18". They are all great saws. I am going to sell two and keep two.

I am sure it is in this thread somewhere, but ok to spray alfalfa with clethodim and butyrac? I thought that is what they were for but the local coop seemed surprised when I told him what I was planning to spray. If good to go, how long before I should spray the alfalfa that I drilled last...

Do you plant each cut stem or cut each stem into more cuttings (ie make three cuttings out of each stem in the bucket)?

I am in the same boat as Deerdown. I have been strongly considering buying another farm as it is an investment that I really enjoy. Seems like 2-2.5% return is a "good" recreational property these days, most are even lower than that. Even if paying cash this seems like a not so great...

I had my work done about 1.5 years ago. It was part of an EQIP funded project. If memory serves me he worked about 1.5 days and bill was $1,600. He had a brand new Deere 333G (I think that was the letter) and did use a drum mulched. He had both drum and disc. At the time I was interested in...

I think about $130/hr is what I paid to hire mine done

Have some acres that I am interested in enrolling into CRP now. Has anybody explored this in the last few weeks? Is it feasible now or things put on hold?

Thank you! I did receive it but was not able to respond to your PM.

I would be interested in knowing about this place if you are willing to share
