I'm ready to broadcast rye with a fertilizer spreader tomorrow. I had to work until 9:30, then went to the John Deere store and picked up a bearing for the bottom shaft on my auger. Got home and took 1850 #2 and stalk cutter and mowed off weeds in drowned out places in the bean field. After lunch I finished combining beans and unloaded them into the bin and took the auger down. The lower bearing squeaked and squalled all the time, but got them unloaded. Hooked fertilizer cart onto 1850#1 and pulled under bin unload auger. Started auger and pulled slide wide open and plugged auger. I got that cleaned out and then cleaned out bin. Finished at 6 and decided to put the doors and windows back in cab and installed the Outback Guidance System and will wait until morning to spread rye. Went to fill tractor with diesel and ran the tank dry. I got a 1/2 a tank in the tractor, so that will spread it and see how far it goes toward disking the rye in. Anyone have a 1' piece of 6" auger tube? The unload auger on the drying bin has a hole rusted in it and I need a short piece to patch it with. Before you all start in about working on Sunday, I'll probably spread rye until 8:30 and then come in and get ready for Sunday School and Church and then go back and play some more after lunch.
Oh, Ya, the spreader has a setting for 45#s/ cu ft, so I set it at 140#s and will go over the field twice. Chris
