1 Series PTO Shaft – Replacement for Bondioli & Pavesi PTO Shaft 1. The PTO (Power Take-Off) Shaft is an universal mechanical device created to transfer power from a tractor, or other engines to a variety of industrial and agricultural equipment like balers, mowers pumps, generators, and so on. It features a standard keyway or spline connection that connects to the output shaft of the ...
What conditions will you face during spring planting? With 2019’s extreme weather patterns, what comes next is anyone’s guess. That’s why it’s smart to prepare now. Planting into wet soil is completely different from planting into dry, compacted soil. Yet the fundamental challenge is the same—putting seeds in the right place, at the right time, and at the right ...
The return on investment of GPS automated steering systems is almost never argued anymore. GPS technology has been proven to reduce overlap, resulting in fuel savings and productivity gains that farms of all sizes can appreciate. However, in my experience, the leading reason that farms today invest in a steering system is operator comfort. Many providers in the agricultural industry offer ...
For three weeks every month, Ray Archuleta captivates audiences with a few handfuls of soil. He begins with two clumps, dropping them into water. The soil from a farm where the soil isn’t tilled holds together, while the tilled soil immediately disperses, indicating poor soil structure. Next, volunteers from the audience — mostly farmers and ranchers — pour water over a soil ...

Root hydraulic conductance for the early planting was 21% greater than the normal planting, but no differences were detected between tillage treatments. Early planting increased yields 22% in 2007, but yields did not differ between planting dates any other year. During 2006 and 2007, lint yields ...
Pulses including faba bean (Vicia faba L.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.), and field pea (Pisum sativum L.) are important components of the cropping systems of semiarid high-altitude northern Ethiopia. Yield potential is often constrained by severe water deficits during grain fill which might be alleviated by reducing runoff throughout the season using microbasin or tie-ridge tillage. Research ...
In the central United States, practices that maintain residue in wheat (Tritricum aestivum L.) often lead to yield losses from tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) infections. Tillage, fungicides, N fertility, and resistant varieties may reduce tan spot severity. Studies were conducted over five location-years to determine wheat yields and tan spot severity across three residue levels ...
