Today was the third incident in 3 years where I've had a flat front tire on the 2090 Case. Four rib tires and this one had a very small puncture wound right in the centre of the tire. At least I had gotten quite a few years and miles out of it. New 1100x16 tire and tube plus installation and tax, $357. Hope it last a while.

Pretty sure this was a rock injury. This piece of land is contaminated with rocks pretty bad. Between the rocks and badger holes its a rough ride sometimes this spring. Never seen so many badger holes before.
 
I can't quite tell. Are those last years corn stalks? And is that a harrow your'e pulling? I'm not being a smart azz but what are you trying to accomplish? Also if you put the duels on that tractor it makes a much smoother ride.
 
(quoted from post at 20:12:26 05/08/19) The BT corn is tough on tires, as are deer antlers.

Last year I found a deer antler with the left front on my new tractor it only had 15 hours on it. thank god it wasn't the loaded rear

No corn grown here. That is canola stubble that I have just anhydroused and wanted to spread the chaff and straw a bit. Probably could have got away without doing it but I'm kind of stalling on seeding as it is so cold and dry I don't feel like putting wheat in the ground yet.
I don't bother putting the duals on when its this dry. They take up a lot of extra parking space in the shed and I have none to spare.
 
You would think they would make farm tires touch enough to run over a stick without puncture. The last new tire I bought got one through the sidewall within two weeks. Took four plugs to fix it.

I doubt it was a stick of wood that caused this. Sharp cornered rocks on dry hard ground put a lot of pressure even on an 8 ply tire. Deer antlers definitely a problem. You just have to be lucky.
 
Does wheat follow canola in your rotation? What tillage implement is used on the canola stubble before the wheat drill comes along? That canola stubble looks pretty wicked to get covered!

Most guys with the low disturbance drills just harrow and then seed in between the stubble with their air drills. I've anhydroused with the narrow points, 12 inch spacing. Then seed with my air seeder, 8 inch spacing. Depending if I use the "spoons" or the sweeps there might or might not be much stubble left standing. At these cold temps there is not much weed growth to deal with.
 
Are you having a late spring up there after your not very snowy winter reports ? What is your last plant date for Spring wheat ? No one plants wheat in the spring here. It?s planted in the fall , usually right behind the combine. Then harvested in June , often followed by ?late? or second crop soybeans. Which are also usually planted right behind the combine ( or a baler in the wheat straw ). Do they bale the wheat straw in Saskatchewan ? I find your Canadian farm operation very interesting. Have long wanted my own bison. Will be watching to see more bison reports. Always glad to see your videos and pictures , especially with the drone and the Mercury.

Hi Bill
Snow went early but its refusing to warm up to normal so as far as seeding date, I'm pretty much right on time as I started today. I've grown good crops of wheat seeded the end of May but then early fall frost becomes a risk.
Some of the cattle guys like to bale a little straw. With hay shortages this past year I could have sold all my oat straw for good money.
