In search of an @johndeere L-Band GPS position receiver to complete my collection. Looks like an original StarFire but orange. If you find one please send me a DM. Retweets appreciated. This one is at the ISG office and they would not let me buy it.

A farmer who's taken our AI course has a older dryer with an auto mode that no longer works.
He's felt like they have simply made educated guesses over the years when making setting changes. They haven't had much confidence in them.
So he used AI to build a model to predict the moisture output based on current weather, input, and settings.
These graphs show how his model has performed vs. his samples. Pretty good imo!

We will be running a couple more cohorts of this course this winter.
If you’re interested, sign up for the waiting list at AIonYourFarm.com

Sharing is caring. If you have a @johndeere Gen 4 4600/4640 and get "An Error occurred unexpectedly" on intial startup, you'll get two options — pick STEP 2 (Deselect Data and Reboot), not Step 1. Step 2 fixes it most of the time.
If it's stuck after hitting Step 1, it's fine to hit the battery disconnect, then choose Step 2.
If you continue to have problems a factory reset under menu, system, file manager, advanced settings (arrow/dot) will usually get rid of the corrupt data. Before factory reset back up run pages/setup data to operations center or a USB in file manager.
Incremental 25.4 software 10.35.3817-72 fixes it but at this time only available via USB from your dealer. Reference solution 113561. #harvest26 @ValleyPlains @PVEQUIP @KibbleEquipment

Had AI pull the entire X9 1100 parts catalog: 42,184 lines, 9,562 part numbers, every diagram and price. It then built me a phone app to browse it.
Then I said build me a cool “matrix” themed visualization of all the part numbers! Crazy.
New @KibbleEquipment episode with @6Farmer is out. Lots of botched wedding proposal stories.
I sold @JohnDeere stock in December 2004 to help pay for the engagement ring. My SWAG was it would be worth 3 new roofs today. I pulled the fidelity report: $2,367 sold in December 2004. Claude estimated value now with dividends reinvested: $65,800. The roof I replaced this summer: $23,830.
No regrets.
Advice for those in this situation today - use a credit card and hold the stock.

#harvest26 is on. Phones are busy. If you are having weird issues when things used to work and are not anymore, try a 5-10 minute battery disconnect.
I don't like it either but when it works, take the win and keep rolling.

We have a 2027 8RX 490 to demo, but it’s been raining every damn day. Is that going to stop us? C’mon son. She shines in the schmud. #kibbleequipment
If you geek out like me on theory of operation and history you will enjoy this. 1.5 hours of learning fun.

Farmers helping farmers. Growers across our #HillsboroFactory district harvested more than 420 acres of sugarbeets Wednesday for fellow grower Bill Cotton, who is fighting stage 4 brain cancer. Around 80 trucks, 14 harvesters, and 11 toppers showed up. #Harvest26
My favorite podcast episode of all time. @ThisAmerLife 129 Cars. thisamericanlife.org/513/tra…
Part 2 of 2 with CEO and co-founder of AgZen, Vishnu Jayaprakash. The fun continues. @kibblemansam @KibbleEquipment @PVEQUIP @ValleyPlains @AgZen_official @KrantzDarin podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… – at Minnesota, USA
I was today years old when we had fiber internet installed by @ArvigHQ. Thank you!
Starlink was way better than our previous fixed wireless option but this is next level…. especially latency.
Today is my version of rural electrification. I will repeat the story of this day to my grandkids one million times. – at Minnesota, USA
