Water leveling

[TheMx240]

10/10 for dumbness

[cameronr2000]

Is this common with rice fields now? Is it use in place of the laser leveling fields?

[thericeboy]

@cameronr2000 No this was started before lazer leveling, but with the development of newer Rice varieties and lazer this method is seldom used, except that the water method does allow you to plant anytime even if it is to wet to work ground, It lets you plant earlier, to split plantings up

[HondaQuality]

Now I see why used tractors down south are so cheap.

[DuckHunter271]

 I think its more near Vidrine

[Rapture2k1]

That near Eunice? Looks so flat that you could watch your dog run away for 3 days straight.

[yorkshiretractors]

how do you know if you have miss a bit . how can you tell where your working

[teecuzbruh]

takin the puddles out after seeding used to suck back in the day

[teecuzbruh]

workin the land like this a farmer doesnt need to plow to make a seedbed for rice

[Wireline1012]

Louisiana?

[FarmerFlush]

have u not realised yet that water levels by inself not a necassary job

[Flayprime]

Only in Louisiana. Pushing and pulling dirt around in that fashion is borderline. You can be sure that eventually that practice will be outlawed. It may not cause damage to bottum land that is less than 20 feet above sea level, but you can bet that in the north lands it would cause major erosion problems. Best get your land leveled before hte fed steps in, something like the deeply impacting wetlands bill would damage your operation if you depended on that practice.

[peteacher52]

Interesting! I wonder if you let the water out of the tractors' tyres for this job? Would the greater floatation be a boon or a hinderance?

[thericeboy]

@peteacher52 No you want the wieght for traction we put water in all the inner tires on the duals and sometimes half full on the outside ones

[greenarcticcat400]

have they ever got stuck

[thericeboy]

@greenarcticcat400 most of this ground around here in SW La. has a hard pan of clay you just have to be alittle careful not to break thru the pan you can feel it whenit wants to break out

[saintveil]

Kewl...

[JerodBroussard]

man I hated waterleveling...pulling hard then slicking on the way back, slicking off while dad did the rounds...it all stunk...you work up the land with a 21' and a 20' disc...then you are practically doing it all over again with a 15' water level....loooooooooooooooong days.........I'd rather just "pic in the water" then have to stare at a darn water level all day....

[theredneckpothead]

badass ya dont see that in kansas

[teecuzbruh]

as long as you don't dig up too many weeds....red rice?????

[thericeboy]

@teecuzbruh with clearfield varieties you would want the red up and germinating so you can kill it!!

[teecuzbruh]

@thericeboy i avoid eating genetically modified organisms as much as i possibly can

we grow cypress...although i help a couple farmers cut their differing varieties around harvest..

arent clearfield varieties best seeded with a drill anyway? with as far behind as we are on rainfall in southwest louisiana there are a load of rice farmers drilling their seedbeds the last several seasons

[FartenStart]

stupid

[jhank2107]

Have fun with the pressure washer later lol

[lgnkotr]

COOL!!!!

[thericeboy]

mstaff657 sounds like you use someone to mark the lawn while you cut it, this is an easy way to level ground we don't care to use this method as it is hard on eq. but during the winter we catch free water and as it is a slow time we can level ground, then we can either hold water till spring and plant or drain the field slowly and plant dry with drill in spring, now there, actually I am blind in one eye due to a farming accident!

[mstaff657]

That is a case of the blind leading the stupid

[ludovkyzpodpolania]

what is this?

[TheDieselDr]

Hay hell.... This is rice country!!!

[creed8330]

waste of time

[SilverZ71forever]

looks like fun anyways

[80cronos]

Nice techinic!

[countryrebel22]

My family farms rice in Northern California and I have never seen this kind of land work done. Can you explain to me what you are doing and why

[razor56p]

amazing!!

[rwybpuller]

do they ever get stuck

[pheom160]

back when i was little my dad had thought he could cut some grass and he thought that the low spot was a few inces of water but it was like a foot deep and well hge was using a 2 wd tractor at the time he got stuck to the axles

[jotabe00]

i never get tired to see tractors at work

[bkpigs]

so is this field going to be planted in rice??? That is the only crop I can think of that would need such a level field. We kinda go the other way, You know gentle slopes (for row crop)

[Fyrtowr]

How do you get the water out of the feild after it is all level?

[johndeereman567]

you open up the levees and it all drains out through ditches.

[angryiron]

Man I used to hate having to walk across a water leveled field a few days later.

[RubberRivet]

So when do the girls in bikinis arrive

[edwardatwill]

so, I use my xj cherokee for this. just kidding, I don't, because it probably wouldn't work

[killthemonkey4evr]

i dont understand what you are doing

[Bandpopper]

same here

[solveg18]

description/ info says: Tractors pulling blades using water to help transport dirt accross fields then using the water to level the dirt

[Damianex321]

chcieli sobie poorać pole zanim woda zejdzie...hehe

[nchayfarmer]

I think everybody else is jealous that they cant drive there tractors in the mud lol what do yall think

[johndeereman567]

i think youre absolutly right!

[nchayfarmer]

lol 10-4

[dmbfan1912]

Wow, lots of people commenting aren't familiar with rice fields. Water leveling keeps a consistent water depth, for better rice growing.

[wwwvisitaalborgcom]

Seems like a waist of diesel....?

[Iciielitez]

You're a waist of diesel!

[johndeereman567]

it isnt a waste of diesel. its actually really helpful. what it does is when those blades stir up the water, the water moves the dirt around the rice field so that if one spot is low it gets dirt and the farmer dosent have to work as hard to keep the rice field flooded evenly.

[EdwardIshMe]

Dude dont go on every single video and bitch about it.

[johndeereman567]

i aint tryin to bitch about it i'm just tryin to tell people how this works because a lot of people dont know about this!

[hug315f]

ya leave this guy alone, that was useful for me! I wondered!

[caseih100]

EdwardIshMe your the bicher and ass

[SpeedMetal4635]

para que es eso?

[tumosito]

Para que los bobos pregunten....

[PERIZ99]

LOL ...You silly scum-  : )

[vincenzolorenzo]

How are ye able to drive on ground so wet? Do ye not sink to the axle?

[nardp96]

when somethink waighs 40 tons and its a duly its not getting stuck.

[johndeereman567]

when there is water in mud it cant get stuck. if its just mud and no water you better be careful because then you will bury yerself to the axles.

[caseih100]

we had that experence with sluge feild

[NeverDieProductions]

i dont see any point in this level it when its dry like everyone else all ur doin here is making a fuckin mess but nice video anyways :)

[RenzeZielman]

In the old days, they did this kind of levelling on construction patches, because the soil compacted so well when the mud had settled...

[johndeereman567]

this is the old way of doing it but your right everybody else now just lazer levels.

[muschkel]

was soll das???

[zetorxzts]

skur jak on po tym jedzi i się nie za kopie

crazy bitches

[johndeereman567]

what do ya mean crazy bitches? the only bitch

here is you ya bitch.

[sgcspud]

What they really need is some blue paint working in there

[nchayfarmer]

lol you wouldent know it there aint but one color there thatd be mud

[caseihricefarmer]

if them john deeres would get out the way that red powerful peice of equipment could get twice as much doneee.. making mud thas always fun

[tri26t]

land planeing useing the water as a level

thats one simple (cheap)way of saving money

insteed of paying for laser leveling.

[vukaat4554]

annennenın amı

[uivli]

i think they are tryin to level the mud underneath so that there wouldnt be any deth differences and cuse a flood or somethin' like that,anyaway iwould give anything to have one of those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eilis3]

please can some one tell me what these guys are doin i live the somerset levels so flooding happens every winter but NOT on this scale LOL

[lugisland]

Rice Farming

[jdawgsworld]

they are preparing rice fields...probably in louisianna...

[WuMark]

thats one heck of a mud pit, id like to go bombing through there with my jeep

[madeinyourmother]

well i can honestly ive never seen that before. thats really cool

[lugisland]

Cool vid! Let me come down there and shoot some of them greenheads!

[djtoonraider666]

wow never seen this befor is this in the uk

[thericeboy]

more dirt can be move in the water more freely than on dry ground but waterleveling isn't as pricise as lazers! thanks for the questions bigbear585it's only fun for a little while then it becomes boring

[thericeboy]

Don't be missled by the video this land drains very well we hold rain water over winter it's free water an that's why we call it waterleveling break up the mud into suspention hills have to be cut so when the mud settels it will be level very simple the trick is to know how much ground to cut an how much mud to move an where to move it because if water is too deep you can't tell where the hills or the holes are cutting too deep can create a hole even a bog hole.

[kdogkenton]

very interesting!

[cimgarten]

I've never seen or even heard of this ... I'm surprised you guys dont just get completely BURRIED up to the windows ... I guess its more of a sand base?

Whats the purpose? Are you trying to make the feild hold water evenly?

Sorry ... this is new to me.

[arabie71]

lol its all mud and and its a rice field or crawfish i live in eunice

[sancezsancez123]

hey this is looking, watch?v=AUPZVjnf6ck

[bigbear585]

thats looks like so much fun i love playn with tractors in the mud

[tewiginton1s]

Interesting way to level a field. Do whatever works.

[coveredporch3]

They are prepared a Field for Rice I think guys. Yup Rice.

[alanaldasucks]

so this is a water farm?

[princessfbi]

Yeah they mixing mud and selling on E-Bay

[alanaldasucks]

so its a mud farm?

[princessfbi]

I think so,but what is the purpose of this? I don't know,don't know where to spend money.

[alanaldasucks]

i buy mud online, its cheaper and smoother

[johndeereman567]

its a rice farm

[agrockett]

If you start waterleveling by making two rounds aroud the cut it will help to keep you waterlevel straight when you begin to pull. hey why don't you guys just fly in the seed. South Louisiana

[ganty1991]

great video one question why does it not sink?

[thericeboy]

Ground here has a clay hardpan about 16inches deep if you cut thru that be ready for problems

[thericeboy]

the reason the blade is sliding to the left is that the groung on the right is hard the left side of the blade is in ground already cut usually 2 or 3 good pulls will cut the ground deep enough if the blade on the 9150 is dropped all the way it will stop any tractor in it's tracks sometimes killing the engine if the clutch isn't pressed soon

[thericeboy]

mud can become a problem thats why we try to do all water leveling early so we can clean all the equipment good then finish the drilled rice an beans thanks for the ????????

[thericeboy]

the blade can't be controled except for up or down we cut ground deeper then level while mixing top soil an clay by pulling lightly back to high

[thericeboy]

this field is parted by levees we removed every other levee we'er pulling the high to the low in the video, about 6-8 inches difference in elevation

[thericeboy]

having trouble posting

[Farmerknowsbest]

What happens to all that dirt? Just becomes part of the levy? Can the angle of the leveler be manipulated from the cab? Oh, is there any problems with mud getting on everything? Like are the electronics of the newer tractors affected by it in anyway? Any special maintenance required?

[Farmerknowsbest]

I got that damn error on the TTT

Thanks a lot for the video!  I really enjoyed that. Water leveling has been a bit of a mystery to me. I have a question. The 9150 was pulling what seemed like a LOT of dirt to the one corner of the field. I mean when the leveler was drug sideways.
