In this video, you will see both of my planters running in the fields on our first day of planting cotton. Be sure to watch the end to catch a nasty dirt storm at the end of the day.
Great vid. Hope we start planting soon ourselves, but not sure when we'll start, we farm NW of you actually. One thing I noticed in this video is why put the 8320r on the smaller planter instead of the stack fold out of curiosit (sorry if I missed in a video why you did it this way.)
You didnt miss it. The 8285 is newer and sometimes i get to drive it 🤪 i prefer to drive the newer one. Thats my main reasoning for hooking it on the bigger planter. The 320 has a much better turn radius for the smaller planter. Thanks for watching!!
I am planting DP 1822 & Fiber Max 2498-2398 on the majority of my acres. I have a few seed blocks that are different varieties. Thanks so much for watching!
@@KCFurg I planted some 1822 last year on a pivot that didn’t stress from the drought, it kind of stayed short but it didn’t produce as much as I thought it should have on that pivot, I’ve been planting DP 1820 on pivots and really liked it until last year, it seems to have fizzled out a little , course last year wasn’t a good year to judge any variety on really. I enjoy your videos, good luck this year !
In short, our irrigation pattern is set up every 80 inches so we moved a 40 inch pattern to a 30/50 row pattern by moving each row 5 inches. This allows our rows to be closer to its irrigation source.
Great video! I can’t wait to get started planting! We start in about a week and a half we farm just north of floydada

Why do you plant cotton with that row spacing?
In short, our irrigation pattern is set up every 80 inches so we moved a 40 inch pattern to a 30/50 row pattern by moving each row 5 inches. This allows our rows to be closer to its irrigation source.
