I really hope I wasn't being disruptive in my last post. I try to give solid advice. I also try to look on the bright side of things. I won't tell you are stupid or give you a date that you should plant. I live north, in southwestern PA, in the base of the mountains. We can't start planting here until May 10th. that is the first day I can put it in the ground and has been for 240 years of my family planting in the same farm.

Planting May 30th, I had gotten 268 bushel per acre. Anyone who thinks that may 20 is too late, I have a package of round soft reproductive organs that you can lick... I am serious... I hate this IDEA that the whole world is the same.

It is not.



so...



With that said, if you are finding seed at 10 to 12 intervals, it was planted light. I don't know what changed.

I can tell you that I have had rows 4-6 inches apart, and the corn head will take the ears. It doesn't matter too much. you get close, and the thing will take the ears off.

I wish you the best and I don't mean to be mean. I want to be there when you plant, but we aren't neighbors at all. If we were, I would help you personally.

cheese cloth on the end of that air tube, drive forward 17.5 feet, count the seeds in the bag. should be 32 or 34.

that's what I did with my cyclo air. after that, I sold it. no wait, let's back up...

I got drunk, very drunk. I peeeed on it, and threw rocks at it. Then I tried to get it to do what I wanted. it did not comply. I drank more, peeeedmore on it, gave it a final send off that was short of a bonfire...

then I put it on craigslist and listed it for free. I asked that the new owner fixed the electric in my building or hire someone who could.

It didnt' work out, but it is gone.

what can I say?

I can't, and I wont. I dont' know how many acres you run yours. I know that I don't like john deere. I like red paint. I like blue paint. but I bought a JD after owning that planter.

you tell me. what did you do before planting? did you estimate on spacing with a 17 and a half foot test run? Wish I was there. I would help you infinitely until we got that thing going as good as it will.

Good luck. Always.

John

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
