Grandson cultivating corn with JD 2305

[TimPaiste97]

He looks exhilarated to be cultivating for the first time in his life...

[Rdrake1413]

Nice tractor nice garden looks like he is doing a good job

[Pontiac2001GT]

ginger kid!

[getajobfatboy]

Thanks, I glad to here that its a great little tractor

[getajobfatboy]

Do you still like your JD 2305? I'm thinking about getting one with a loader & 54" mowing deck.

[jq730d]

@getajobfatboy Yep it's a fine machine, my only complaint is it doesn't have a depth control - which you have to upgrade to and I didn't want to spend the money. If you don't do any tillage it's probably immaterial.

[zcg3]

Nice job young man...now go get a haircut!

[jq730d]

@zcg3

:-) He did.

I have to ask - are you a grandpa too? That seems to be the comment the older guys usually make. :-)

[MrLizbudu]

Thanks for sharing this..... When the corn trees getting taller, how do you cultivate them?

[jq730d]

@MrLizbudu The little short garden tractors have only 7" of clearence under the front axle - you have to get it well cultivated and hope the corn grows fast enough to choke out the weeds by shading them. When it gets too wet to cultivate when you need to then you have weedy corn. A taller tractor would help. Look at the ground clearance an old 8n Ford has - that's about ideal.

[MrLizbudu]

@jq730d Thanks.... I'm always wonder how to get rid of the weeds... by the way, do you use herbicide when you have weedy corn?

[jq730d]

@MrLizbudu Nope - haven't had to.

[bonnielea14]

is that the frontier cultivator?

[jq730d]

@bonnielea14 No - it's home built.

[johnsenkenn]

@jq730d

It looks like you are doing great farming, I bet you are making big bucks with those corn prices now days.

[jq730d]

@johnsenkenn

Not so much - it's a charity garden - all the produce we don't personally use goes to a local food bank for charity.

[johnsenkenn]

@jq730d

Ha...ha.....just kidding. Charity, I have heard that people are lining up for free food, it's a hard time for some, and it's getting harder.

[sp00ktube]

Nice work there young man, I know it's tense when your pa is watching lol.

[chase312]

I'd love to have that exact setup for my garden

[johnnecron]

He looks like Buster Brown.

[JLMonroeFilms]

The first time I drove a tractor was when i was about 8, and I ran into the front light post hah! I now use a john deere model M from 1948 to plow my garden, but everything else is done by small tools, like a Mantis tiller to cultivate, and an old MTD tiller. I am thinking of buying a tractor just like this for my garden in a few years because it seems to hadle everything you cound need to do. Great video!

[adamdogg44]

probably straighter rows made by this kid than anyone on here as much concentration was used

[jq730d]

:-) He is intense when he gets on one of them! Wish he lived closer and I had more to keep him busy, we'd have some fun.

[mediarocker543]

That there is some real concentration! I remembered my first time learning to use the PTO mower on my friend's farm. What was worse was his PTO didnt have a overrun clutch so I ended up driving it into a tree! No harm done though, just a little love tap! :)

[sartainja]

Good job of training him.

[ihc844s]

red faceand cool hair

[bioshock26632]

hes kind of funny looking but nice red hair

[sartainja]

You taught him well. I learned how to cultivate on a IH Cub.

[heavyxpress3000]

wow that look on his face on the close up is like he hates it. when i was his age i would have been tickle to death to be doing that.

[jq730d]

That's concentration!

[CommentClown]

@jq730d

No, it's actually fear. If he strays outside of the lines by one inch, his grandfather will lock him in the root cellar for a week.  (Speculation.)

[madisonelectronic]

@CommentClown The kid does not care. He has discovered that is where Grandpa keeps the still.

[twal1011]

Good job, kid. : )

[k323r]

tell me when u got to end of crop. lol lol

[mstruckerboy]

The Deere 2000 series are great machines! :-D He did a great job, for sure!

[FUSION144]

Nice Hair.

[jq730d]

Yep it's a family joke - his mom called him a "Brillo Head." She said his hair reminded her of a Brillo pad. It wasn't long before he talked his grandma into going back to short hair. :-)

[FUSION144]

He just stares at the bonet.

[jq730d]

Yep - he's using the hood ornament to guide him down the row.

[FUSION144]

Ah,ha! Smashing idea! Ill use that on the john deere 6920 tommorow when im plowing ;).

( Im plowing a field tommorow to burry 2 sheep) Of course I wont get far by plowing so Ill use my Jcb 3cx

[TeamHeartbreakKidz]

wow. great teaching. i wish i had somebody to teach me to do this stuff.

[johndeeremaster]

what is your row spacings?

[jq730d]

Varies - some plants 30", some 40" and some 60" or more. Depends on several criteria one of which is how hard it is to harvest, how bad it spreads out etc.

[tksemipro]

Whats is it for corn?

[jq730d]

30 inches between the rows for corn.

[johnnecron]

what do you call that implement?

[jq730d]

It's a cultivator

[johndeere1993]

wow, i need to get one for our garden

[TRUCKMAN399]

[TRUCKMAN399]

[woodman1241]
