Life on the Farm
bjrogg:
There are advantages and disadvantages to both wheels and tracks. I like tracks for most jobs I do. They have a much lighter footprint. They are more expensive to maintain though.
Well after fixing a water problem at home I worked at the planter again. I took the planter outside and folded it in and out. I wanted to see if our plans would work.
The first picture is planter folded out. The wires and hose originally were routed inside the braces that run from front to back at 45degree angles. It’s the only way to route them as this length won’t change. The center framework telescopes so its length changes that doesn’t work for running wires and hoses.

Next picture is showing how center frame is telescoping out, becoming longer and folding the outsides of the planter inward

Thought I had picture of it folded completely but must have deleted it.
Next picture is showing our conduit temporarily mounted on the 45 degree braces

And here’s the part we were worried about. The “ hooks” That come around and hook over the center frame to lift everything up are squishing our conduit ever so slightly. I think it will work.

I finished running the wire harness to the front of planter and hook it up to tractor.
Now I have to reprogram all my planter information. I setup both the rate controller and planter display so they now have 3 vrd motors instead of two and assign them their proper rows.
I’m having trouble though. My display isn’t seeing my individual rows information. I’m not sure what the answer to my problem is but it’s not going to get fixed tonight. I’m kinda hoping I just need to have the seed star box reprogrammed. Might have to get someone from Deere to do that. Hopefully I can get some answers tomorrow.
