Rubber closing wheels are the hardest to properly set, if you take the time to get it right, rubber closing wheels give yout the most options to plant in any condition. Yes, they wear out, i replace them annually. Worth it! #GTFU. IMHO.
The tire tracks i find interesting. My primary job is taking care of a horse stable and part of that is mowing the lawn. A very big lawn. I use a 50 hp Kubota tractor with a 12 foot batwing finish mower. Some areas i have to mow driving in the same tracks. The grass ends up being greener there like it had nitrogen applied to it on the tire tracks. There's still a lot of guys around here that are still planting corn. We've had a lot of rain and the forecast doesn't look ro good for cutting hay either. I priced out putting the heavy Yetter closing wheels on my 7000 planter but we are on sandy ground here and I think the only conditions that I would see a real benefit is planting in live sod. The best way to handle an old hay seeding is kill it off about 3 weeks after the last cutting in the fall then plant a cover or let it set til spring and plant it. One other thing I did to help my 7000 in notill was fill the insecticide boxes up with sand for weight.
We also fill our insecticide boxes on some of our 7000 male planters. We take em off in the mud and put em on when dry! Cheap solution to down pressure! Lol
I was hoping you could share your termination program and also your fertility program as far as nitrogen. Didn't know if you did a burn down pass followed by a weed and feed with a corn residual herbicide.
By trial and error over 20 years the best herbicide/ fertilizer program for my cover crop, no till is: Broadcast spray: 100 lbs of N, Seed Corn pre emerge herbicide program, Humisource (humates) and sugar, 10 days to 3 weeks ahead of planting in 1 application. The carbon/ nitrogen tie up is real, all your applied nitrogen will tie up in the carbon ( cover crop stubble for 10 days - 2 weeks) that's pretty well known fact it can vary based on your area and conditions. Then when your fertility becomes available plant right into the crispy stubble no till with a little more down pressure than you normally would. I've tried planting green, I've tried terminating way to early. Planting green seems to leave your corn wanting for a little nitrogen for it's first 250 heat units as it emerges and makes it to 3 leafs then it greens up.... terminating too early and the cover crops roots don't do you near ad much good. I terminate around the end of April and plant my regenerative corn around may 15th Gove or take. These are my experiences and what I've learned over the years. Thanks Edit can apply 100 to 150 lbs Nitrogen with the termination pass mixed with a corn ore emerge herbicide and terminate with gramoxone or RR etc.
