News...

This is where we'll announce the most recent additions to our web site. If you've visited us before and want to know what's changed, take a look here first.

We are currently scheduling jobs for Spring 2012 (Please contact us if you are interested in seeing our drill in action)

[New!]1-7-2012 - In the process of adding additional pictures and information to our Pictures page.

[New!]I will be at Ag-Expo in Spokane in February (my drill will not be there, but will be around the Cross Slot and Ag Pro, Inc. booths and will try to answer any questions you may have, and will add you to our spring seeding schedule if you are interested).

[New!]If you are more of a conventional tillage farmer, and are needing help getting your seeding done, it looks like we will also have access to a John Deere 455 double disk drill.  Please contact us, if this is something you may be interested in as we are still working out the details.

[New!]While we had a few issues we struggled with this past fall, most all of the issues were either resolved, or we have a plan on how to resolve those issues. 

        Some issues we had included:

            The side blades plugging in powdery fine chem-fallow.

            In the powdery chem-fallow, we have noticed that turning sharply at hi-speed has made ridges in the fields, which in turn are a little rough to drive over.

            Primary wheel hub bearings failing.

            Disc hubs failing (worked with Cross Slot engineers for the past year trying to get this resolved).

            The Automatic Down Force (ADF) not working as it should, thus it was not as fast to react as it could.

            Breaking disc blades (we have a few ideas on this, we are still trying to figure out why these are breaking).

            Having hub axle bolts unscrew (no idea why this happens, but we have been able to stop it).

            Rupturing hydraulic hoses on the tractor.

            Gravel in the seed (this was resolved by the seed supplier).

  • We would like to thank all of you that stopped by and saw our drill at Ag Expo.  If you have any questions, please let us know.
  • 11-1-2010  Please check out our pictures page (it has been updated with pictures from seeding this fall).
  • We will be participating in a Direct Seed Demonstration in St. John, WA on Sept. 16th 2010, put on by the Palouse-Rock Lake Conservation District.
  • We cut a sample of the Spring Barley that was seeded with the Cross Slot Opener in a side by side comparison with a two pass system, including shanked in fertilizer and then seeded with a JD 455.  On our approximately one (1) acre test samples, the Cross Slot yielded about 1053 lbs per acre better.  Please note:  This ground has been farmed using reduced tillage for over ten years.  This comparison is not from conventional tillage and other results may vary.
