I could go lower but the lowest I calibrated was 2.5# per acre on the Sweet Feast I planted. There is a little tillage radish in that which brings overall weight up slightly over straight Winfred brassicas. I have two setting below that I could use to lower is some more. That's straight seed, no...
I am a fan of Oats, rye, peas, and radish. Easy to plant, good forage and easy to grow. Sometimes I add a little forage beans.

I would say silvers would stay alive a while if hinged properly. Not sure that's a benefit. I am not saying its a horrible idea but I would do a cost benefit. Switch isn't cheap and I would venture just spreading and doing minimal work wouldn't get you real far. Site prep is key to a good...
If you use the tractordata website it gives you a good list of tested specs for alot of tractors. It also gives you where they were made.
http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/006/7/4/6747-new-holland-boomer-50.html for example. I find it pretty handy.

I am a fan of the 50Hp New Holland tractors. Very capable and easy to haul. About the perfect size for 6' implements.

I would not consider alfalfa low maintenance. It needs a deep tilled well cultivated and smooth seed bed to start. Compaction is not going to lead to a good stand. Then is needs to be cut every 28 days to keep it prime and a light fertilizer app each cutting goes a long way. Grazing alone...
1/2 max for me on small seeds. Mine is set at 3/8. If I broadcast after roto tilling I cultipack, seed, cultipack so they don't get forced down to far.

Without a soil test I use 50# per 1/4 acre as a bare minimum. Could need double or a second application often triple 19 is the easiest to find. Interested to hear other takes

Soft water with alot of salt can cause similar issues. Salts, magnesium, and calcium from limestone rich areas are said to be higher issue. Theory is soft water isnt the final answer but AMS seems to be, but its added cost.

Browse pressure has to be taken into account. Clover loses palatability and becomes old and undesirable if left alone for long periods. It will re grow from the root regardless but it will thrive when cut. I personally not spray much and cut it regularly. Each location has it's own quirks, I am...
I would mow at minimum 1time a month personally. Looking at the photo I say yes, yellowing over mature clover plants and weeds near the point of going to seed. Cutting clover will stimulate growth and keep the weeds at bay. I put in a couple test plots and I mow them every 10 days, the...
ammonium sulfate is an adjuvant. A water conditioner. It prevents the cations in hard water from binding to glyphosate, which reduces its effectiveness. It improves control of certain weeds, such as velvetleaf and some perennials.

Mine came with the 12" bands on it. Not sure if I will add any other sizes as they add up fast. Truax told be removing 1 side of bands would allow it to plant a little deeper or just take them off and use cylinder stops to regulate depth. This is the closest 1 I have found to me so I snagged it...
Do you find this "hot" a mix will do a better job on grasses? Or do you see more effectiveness on problem broadleaf ?

Late muzzy is a waste of time on public here IMO. There is food and sign but it's at night and shed hunting pressure starts that same time. Not to mention people doing drives during the day.

I use 2% on gly personally. If use use hard water to spray consider adding AMS if you dont already. 25gal sprayer should cover an acre. I personally havent sprayed 24d in my mix but may start. 24d should hold off at least 7 days I would say.
