Finally got a good day in today, got 42 acres planted and sprayed. The field was in good shape. That 42 acres has more soil types than Carter has pills. It has peat, black gumbo, sand and gravel knolls, clay silt, and everything in between, can't hold a straight furrow if you tried when plowing.
The old JD 730 D has to earn it's keep around here, no shiny paint job for this one. I'm pulling a White 5100 8x36"planter, the duals really help and don't matter if one row gets planted in the dual wheel track. The 730 has only one hyd outlet in the back so I put a hyd splitter to run everything on the planter, works great. And besides, the fuel consumption is no problem, planted the 42 acres on about 8 gallons.
Hope to get the rest of the corn in by Saturday, and then start beans, hope you guys can keep going too.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
