Hanging Offense, Lone Star TAPPS and TAPPKTS.
Exactrix News from Texas and Kansas.
In the Lone Star State,
at Munday, Texas along the 100th Meridian.
An ideal location for
250 to 350 pound calves. Stocker Feeders and 15,000 acres of winter
wheat at 84 miles North of Abilene, Texas.
Stockers going to a
feed lot finish by early March with a good double in weight.
A major No-till
advancement for Texas with lightweight calves. A significant
wholesale change of machinery related to tillage systems.
Not since John McNabb
at Pocatello, Idaho
(1983,
64,000 No-till acres)
has
there been such a significant change in management of the American
Landscape.
A stellar advancement,
No-tillage event.
A record event of
20,000 acres deep banded with TAPPS and headed for 30,000 acres in 8
months with addition of a 2KR Blender for KTS®.

An Exactrix Mustang
Tool Bar set up with 2KC Series 3, Liquid NH3 and 2KM TAPPS
formulator ran strong and fast for Baker Farms, Mike and Stephen
Urbanczyk at 45 feet.
Nominal speeds were 10.1 mph as per GS-3 control for the entire
Mustang banding period.
Field application speeds to 12 mph were achieved.
The Game Plan after
2018.
A serious change came
just in time, a historical change and biblical rainstorms
following. Across the Texas landscape total rainfalls varied from 31
inches to 41 inches.
No-tillage
farming was developed for the land in the last 14 months.
Some
fields did have severe erosion in the high rainfall events of August
through October since certain fields were not yet established in
No-till.
Two No-tillage Seeding Drills were used, two 50 foot, 5 section,
Deere 1890, single disc,10 inch seed row spacing drills seeded
grazing varieties of specially selected winter wheat. The tow
behind carts carried 450 bushel of seed only.
No
starter fertilizer was used. TAPPS and TAPPKTS Mustang banding at 7
to 8 inch depths displaces any need for in row starter ammonium
phosphate.
The
Mustang banding depth was designated at 7 to 8 inches at the start
of the field event.
A good video is enclosed operating at 12 mph in large fields in
Munday, Texas.

A
20,000 acre start for Baker Farms and Mike and son
Stephen Urbanczyk.
The machine delivery was made in late July of 2018 and was ordered
in December 2017 at the Colby, KS
seminar.
The on-time delivery allowed August and September Pre-Plant banding
15,000 No-tillage acres. Another 5,000 No-tillage acres came in
November/December following heavy rains.
Operating at 75 cents per acre on 15 inch band spacing a blade
change is required. Following a blade change at 20,000 acres, the
4515 Mustang Tool Bar is ready for Side Dressing TAPPS and TAPPKTS
starting in February and operating into March with pre-plant of
banding for cotton using TAPPKTS.
This is about 25,000 to 30,000 acres in 8 months of No-till coverage
with TAPPS and TAPPKTS. A record for a 45 foot machine.

An
Exactrix Mustang model 4515 in 3 section design. 36 total openers on
15 inch centers. This is Positive Down Pressure TC Bar and lift
assist.
The machine average speed based on GS-3 data indicates 10.1 mph.

These Pony’s are
special, Like Race Horses on Oats.
This 12.1 liter engine
has substantial torque rise of 38% at 1,600 rpm and at 2100 rpm a
full 520 HP.
The Deere 9520 is
strong and operational to 12 mph. The Bore is 5.00 and the stroke is
6.5 at 765 cu.in.
Find the engine
efficiency sweet spot at 10, to 12 mph with a Brake Specific Fuel
Consumption of .424 to .404 pounds per horsepower hour according to
Nebraska Tests. http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1182&context=tractormuseumlit
The long wheel base tractor has a good ride with high up time.
Higher grounds speeds reduce strain on the drive train and improve
tractor life.
The Deere hydraulics are designed for Pressure Compensated
Load Sense Exactrix motors using ¾ lines and dump valve
return from on 20 gallon SCV. One SCV will run up to three Exactrix
motors in full rpm drive.
Full day fuel Consumption data is coming and expected at .4 to .5
gallons per acre.
Up
to 620 HP could be required for 7.5 to 8 mph operation at 72 feet
with a Triple A, 5 section, Mustang Tool Bar design.
A
power axle is utilized at the cart after 65 feet to push the load
when horsepower requirement goes to 750 hp.

The TC Bar, High
Quality, Three Section Mustang 7 x 7, 4515 with wing and frame
buried cylinders( Qty 4) and positive down pressure with ballasting
tanks.
Configurations from 10 inch to 40 inch band centers…and specialized
spacing…most popular is for sure 15 inch band centers.
Every Mustang Tool bar that ships to the new owner can be changed to
over 20 different configurations and extensions.
Mustang Tool Bars have high resale due to the this wide open design
with a high lift tool bar in double rank.
Soil Penetration is superior in double rank over any other opener
types applying TAPPS and TAPPKTS.
Binary banding for soybeans is a power play with Feralene using 3rd
product 2KP systems with Tri-Flow™ injection.

Lift Assist is ideal
for terraces and terrain following frame.
-
In fact
the flexible lift assist is considered absolutely critical to long
machine durability.
The total frame movement to the top of the frame is from 30 inches
to 66 inches.
Three feet of frame movement allows easy service and machine
access.
The frame can be raised another 10 inches as shown in the picture
group.

Exactrix® Mustang Hubs.
Rated 3,300 lb. K factor 1, Timken® Pinion Bearings with
Caterpillar® Metal Face Seals and Exactrix Lubrication Purge system.
13
Time Out for a
measurement. The blades started at 24 inch diameter,
as a 3/8 x 24, extreme double edge, after 20,000 acres
3/8 x 17, about 75 cents per acre to operate.
This opener should have had the gyro removed at 20 inch to go to 17
inches allowing the blade to penetrate to the hub.
Reboot, Will do a reset for 30,000 acres by upgrading to a ½ inch
thick x 25 inch diameter, Yielder Extreme Double edge.
The Pit Stop…..at
30,000 acres.
-
The
blade change takes 20 to 30 minutes per opener. The injector foot
is readjusted requiring 10 minutes.
-
Chrome
Bit inserts require 10 minutes which normally run twice as long as
the Yielder manganese steel blades.
-
Each hub
is runout inspected and lubrication purged requiring 10 minutes.
14
Ready for new blades a
20,000 acres. Banding costs at 15 inch is 75 cents per acre.
-
A second
machine is planned for delivery in 2019.
-
All
metering TAPPS formulator system will have a 2KR blender added for
KTS.
-
Following testing and re-start with Six Shooter Injectors… the
mid-season start up with Replaceable Chrome Bit Design to extend
acres further will be implemented.
-
The
overall goal is to extend acres to 30,000 before a blade change.
-
This
could be a 50,000 acre machine at 45 feet before primary service
when configured as a P-51CUE. The CUE weighs 100 more pounds per
opener for C design, Ultra Endurance performance.
-
There is
also a D series design for 10 inch deep banding.
-
A 72
foot machine set up P-51CUE can achieve 75,000 acres before
primary service.
-
Primary
service requires $350 to $500 per opener or about $18,000 at
50,000 acres for a 45 foot machine.
-
Blades
are approximately 75 cents to $1.25 per acre depending on soils
and edging. Primary Service is about .37 cents per acre.
-
The
Yielder® manganese steel blades are produced in single edge and
extreme double elliptical edge, in two thickness and 5 diameters.
15
Replaceable Bit with
press in TIO allows
more life and quick
changes. Has higher initial investment but lower operating cost per
acre.
Is Exactrix TAPPS deep
banding worth the money?
Single disc Mustang, deep banding designs outperform shanks in this
rotation by $150 to $300 per acre annually The seed bed preservation
and even percolation of the soil moisture is worth multi-millions of
dollars over a farming career.
The Legacy of productive land remains or is improved.
16
The Caddy Cart design
allows two approaches to carrying liquid loads. The Mustang tool bar
can be directly mounted to the tractor in semi-mount with tractor
liquid tanks. A two point mount is flexible allowing a Caddy Cart
to be used.
A
second choice for big acres is to utilize a towed implement design
Caddy Cart with or without tractor liquid tanks.
The twin 500 gallon Caddy Cart can be expanded with an additional
1,000 gallons of capacity. The Caddy capacity is 40,000 to 45,000
lbs.
Some producers prefer a high quality ride for the weighted tractor
and thus liquid tanks are not always mounted. Caddy carts allow two
different tractors, a rental replacement tractor or a new advance
test tractor can to be used in a quick change.
A
steering track type Caddy Cart is also available.

From the
Heart of Texas.
Brady,Texas.

At Brady,
Texas, A powerful jailhouse for hanging events.
Built in
1910 and the design is common in Texas, the Sheriff and his family
lived in the Jail.
Like Tom
White did in his youth and prior to the beginnings of the FBI,
“Killers of the Flower Moon.”
Families
were raised at the Sherriff’s house of retention and terminal
events.
What
is known as the Old McCulloch County Jail is actually the second
structure to serve as the county jail. The first jail was built soon
after the county's 1876 official organization, the structure having
been completed in 1878. The construction on the first jail proved to
be of poor quality, and McCulloch's prisoners were eventually
incarcerated in
Mason and
San Saba.
A
new facility was approved by the Commissioner's Court in 1908, and
completed in 1910 at a cost of $14,418.75. Construction of the
three-story, red brick
Richardson Romanesque facility was done by
Southern Structural Steel Company of
San Antonio.
The
second floor housed the prisoners, while the first floor served as
living quarters for the sheriff and his family, or for the deputies.
The
third floor consists of twin towers. The underside of the third
floor had a hanging ring, with a second floor trap door to
facilitate death by
hanging. In both 1936 and 1938,
Brady Creek (San Saba River) overflowed its banks
and caused the living quarters to be flooded. When the county
decided to build a newer facility in 1974, this jail became known as
the Old McCulloch County Jail.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_McCulloch_County_Jail
It has been a
while since the Governor called to intervene at Brady.
Looks like 3 phase power at the 2nd Brady Jail House.
28
The Second and
more modern Brady Jail. The Third or New Jail is under construction.
No recent
“Hanging Events’ were available for review. We think Edison was
right, Alternating Current will kill people.
