Picture Of My Oliver 1950 Drilling Wheat

• Oliver 1950

We are drilling this week too, mostly Rye, Barley, and some wheat for wet baling next year. Corse we are running a 12 foot haybuster no till drill behind the 1850. Now on some of our red clay hills that will make that Cummins 1850 snort and beller. Its been so wet here we have only been able to till about 3 fields this fall, the rest will go no till.

Thanks for the great picture.

Now if your shelling corn you will need to run a shredder, or a bush hog maybe twice, behind the combine before no tilling to bust up the fodder, but you can do that too. I have no tilled behind the combine before and the discs on the drill normally tear the fodder up pretty good after you bush hog them. You need to have good pressure on your openers and have them in good shape to cut the fodder. Then alot of times we round bale the small grain, and you can see very little corn fodder left in the grain when you mow it.

Cant believe you guys are shelling already, you must be near the coast. We are in the middle of chopping and puttin in about 45% moisture corn silage or so. I havent tested any ears yet, but it still has to be at least 20% on the shelled corn I would think. We are probably a month from shelling anything except high moisture around here.

I wouldnt think you would need duals for a no till drill, but your soil is a lot softer than ours.

I will be headed your way next week. The misses and me are taking some time off and going to Sandbridge for some R&R. We rented a house on the water and Im going to Captin Georges for some good sea food....

DETROIT POWER!!
