Looks good Josh. Just spitballin here, I dont know anything about barley but is the 1590 big enough. One 15 ft drill on a 1000 acs of wheat is just about to small, I know that from experiance. It can be done but everything has to be perfect. And if the barley needs to be planted at the same time it could get overwhelming. Again I dont know the first thing about barley. And you might consider changing the 566 to a 568. Just some thoughts.

I suggest another fourwheeler, neighbors have around 90 head and having only two fourwheelers to round of 40 of them can be problematic... its just easier to have more of them and not use a pickup for it.

Just MHO...

I too would go with a bigger drill, that size of farm can justify a ccs or air drill. Also, maybe a grain cart, and get rid of either the MX 270, TG 215, or the 9250, and put in a 100-150 hp tractor for baling to be much more efficient on fuel.
