177ONT planterAnd adding to the already extensive line-up of seeding equipment, John Deere introduces the most productive 24 row 30-inch-spaced planter in it''s history, the new 177ONT CCS front-fold planter.Designed with a new frame, new hydraulics, new drive system, and new markers, this planter offers more value and covers more acres in less time than any other 24-row planter on the market.The planter has been re-designed with a new, stronger frame to handle the toughest conditions. It is a 3-section flexible frame with a new vertical truss design. A massive 16- x 8-inch telescoping hitch improves maneuverability and adds strength to the planter.

* Balers are the implement most often mentioned in the survey. Producers also cite purchases of new feed grinders and mixers, as well as silage and haylage products. "We purchased a Walder Manufacturing hoop bagger last year, and our haylage is the best it can be. There''s no wait for hay to dry down -- better protein, better overall feed volume, writes Frank E. Grossmann, Portage, Wisconsin."Digital scales on the feed grinder save time and feedstuffs," says Monte Thompson, Zanesville, Ohio, citing his top management change.HousekeepingA number of products come into play when housing livestock, and producers point to several items that save them time, labor, and money. Products listed in the survey include portable livestock shelters, scales, fans, and bulk feed bins and feeding systems.

In this article, we''ll show you some basics--how to position outlet and switch boxes and run electrical cable between them. We won''t cover many other details. For information about how to connect the outlets, switches and light fixtures, see "For More Information" on p. 68. For help with circuit design and making connections to your main electrical panel, we recommend you consult a licensed electrician. Bringing more power to the upper floor of a house--for outlets, lights or a bath fan--usually means first running cable into the attic. The main plumbing vent stack often provides the easiest path. Usually, there are gaps around the stack where it passes through ceilings and floors, so you can drop a plumb bob from the attic to the basement or crawlspace. To get past ceilings and floors, you may have to bounce the plumb bob until it finds the gap. When the plumb bob reaches the basement, tie cable to the chain and pull it up to the attic. Quick and simple. But this trick won''t work all the time: Unlike cast-iron stacks, which have to run straight up to support their own weight, lighter plastic stacks sometimes include short horizontal sections. And in recent years, builders have begun sealing the gaps around stacks to keep fire from spreading and to prevent heat loss. For this article, I tested ten professional-grade tools from nine different manufacturers: Bosch, DeWalt, Hilti, Hitachi, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee, Panasonic, and Porter-Cable. I chose to focus on the 14.4-volt tools because they''re a reasonable compromise between the lighter 12-volt and the heavier 18- and 24-volt models. Tradespeople seem to agree, because they buy more 14.4-volt drill-drivers than any other cordless tool.
