Bean planting setup-quite interesting

OliverGuy · Apr 26, 2010

Finished with beans last week, got 2" of rain right at the right time. Couldn"t of came at a better time. This is an old Moline forklift feeding a hiniker air drill with homemade toolbar on a M125 kubota. Bet you don"t see that too much!! Plus I plant only by a light bar. Everyone gets a good chuckle out of this setup around here. If someone really wants the planter, it"s for sale. 16 rows on 18", it planted 80 bushel beans last year so it must work.

What kind of soil do you have and what kind & how much fertilzer do you use? That is very interesting. I too raise 80 bushel beans but only on certain spots. (;>))

Interesting set up. How do you like the M125,good/bad ?

We have sold about 37 of the
125s since they came out. I was just wondering if you ever thought of pulling the loader off for planting. Kubota got everything right on that tractor.

If it works it works.

Do you think it"s still a little early? We"re gonna put our beans in once it dries out this time. What variety did you plant?

Everything we planted was Asgrow. This drill planted test plots that are posted on their website from last fall. The guys from the company that helped me plant the plots said this was an interesting set up also.

I had a 105 for a few months and then happened to see this 125 come to the dealership. Happened to get my money back out of the 105 and bought this one. I'm so glad I did. This tractor is about twice that 105, it sounds funny to say though. The toolbar, planter and everything is a little heavy on the back and I keep the loader on for weight, pickup rocks, keep extra bags of seed, etc. I would like to take it off, but the weight might help. I use it farming and at my business, it is a great tractor.

Not too much bad, lots of good. Great features, built fairly heavy, put together in Georgia I think???, great power and powershift trans, good price and at 0%. We've always had smaller ones at work (5) and they've been good machines.

I hope it didn't come across that all beans were 80, mine were just in spots too and a couple of test plots on good soil. On the black soil I throw a lot of fertilizer, fungicides sometimes and foliar feeding with the roundup during the year. On other soil it just doesn't pencil out sometimes and I'll adjust as necessary. Some of mine that were really good last year were under water twice!! I couldn't believe it.

Here's one when it was actually clean

Bill(Wis) · Apr 27, 2010

I was about to give the same answer. If you have rocks (I do) then the loader is a must. Also, as you stated, to carry extra stuff around. I saw the pail in the far end.

Nice!!! I would be interested in more info on the planter. Thanks. Dale

Works well, nice thing is you can do 40+ acres on a fillup. Comes with a monitor, needs three hydraulic outlets, but can run off two (you don't have to unfold the toolbar and run the fill auger at the same time). The fill auger is part of the set up. One hydraulic is to run the fan. I have additional parts for back up. But I didn't use any in 300 acres this spring and only stopped to unplug one of the tubes once and I think that was my fault. We are asking $9200.
