I have another strip till related question. What are you guys doing with your planters. I'm sure I will need something better than my old screw adjust rock guards. Will I need no till coulters, floating row cleaners, or anything to make a decent seed bed.

I'm getting a lot of input on this stripping idea, and I'm wondering what approach I should take. Currently running ripper and fall gas on most acres. AA is cheaper most years, so I hate to give up on it. Do I throw all my inputs in one strip or split it up.

I'm finding this thread very interesting.

Been using soil warrior xs units since 2016. Did about 5 years worth of research and networking before getting into strip-till. We need disk only machines as we have stones. Shanks work much better in heavier soils. Corn on corn needs to be a priority when picking a unit.

I'm thinking about upgrading my old stiger to a new stiger. Are tracks really worth all the fuss or should I stick to my trusty tires. I really like my 939 but I've never had a tracked anything. To be honest, there aren't very many in the neighborhood either.

I have another question before jumping head first into stripping. What is everyone using to keep product to your rig. It looks like I can spend almost as much on the tender as the bar itself.

Has anyone tried one of these out yet. I'm thinking about stripping and don't know who to try out.

Almost ready for #plant23. Does anyone have any tips on where to mount another iPad for the Netflix.
