    Hi Mark , Hope all is well with you and your family. I saw your KZread video that said your joystick was backing off on your Miller 4275. I’m having the same issue just wondering how you resolved it. Thank you for all the good content. Keep up the good work. Hope all is well. Hope you have a great summer And Harvest. i’ll try and contact you on KZread as well. Sorry if you get this message twice. Thanks Lee Dwernychuk

    hi, thank you for a new update. Can you explain how you can tell how much seed you have left ? And do you ever run out of seed during seeding? Does the land get any fertilizer before or after seeding? There are SO very very MANY things I do not know but which i would love to learn.

  • @merrettcontracting-austral7070
    @merrettcontracting-austral70704 ай бұрын

    We have cameras in each box to see how much is left and yes we do sometimes run out. Everything we sow has a phosphorus based fertiliser with it
