Nathan, Will ya bring one of those planters that loads itself over here? I got about 2300 acres of soys to plant here in the next month or so, and so far, All I got to fill the drill is a Porto-Box with a 4 in. auger. Now thats after I"ve already handled the beans once to treat them and put them in gravity wagons and trucks. Dang, I"d love one of those new fangled thing-a-ma-bobs to get out of all that work. i"m lucky, because I dont have to wrestle 50 lb bags of seed corn from the truck to the planter. We got some young guy with fresh mustcles to plant corn. Only thing is that with our 20 year old (paid for) equipment, we may be able to keep one step ahead of the banker. I";ve seen a lot of this new equipment, and while there are many features which make them somewhat less phisically demanding, I"ve yet to see anything about farming that is totaly "back friendly". Heck, some of these new tractors and combines are harder for us 65 yr old geezers to climb up into than the old 50 yr old stuff. I know for a fact that my H is easier to mount than the 1456 is to climb into the cab. Maybe when they mount esclators to farm equipment, things will get easier.
