Plowing corn stalks

[silverfox605]

Outstanding video. Some heavy soil to plow. Great job.

[sixstringfretter]

Now THATS what good soil looks like! I try to tell my Alabama buddies what earth is supposed to look like, not that red clay that looks like your standing on Mars! lol

[MrCase7110]

Do you plow all your fields in the fall or just some of them?

[MrCase7110]

Wow good lookin dirt

[166242]

how come you plow your corn stalks? we no till beans into the corn stalks and get great yeilds on the beans, This year we got no lower then 50 busles per acre on our poorest feild. We also got a salford Rts to run over the feilds

[MegaJohndeere1]

do you guys cultivate this after you do this to take the clumps out?

[Farmerknowsbest]

@MegaJohndeere1 Two passes in the spring

[boomyfool20]

@MegaJohndeere1 you would want to cultivate after plow up big clumps because you can damage your field cultivator

[Farmerknowsbest]

@boomyfool20 2 passes with a field cultivator in the spring and plant. No damage to a cultivator from working plowed ground.

[farmingpower1066]

Nice 9520

[popusimi]

that maneuver from 0:30 to 1:00 was beautifull, well done Sir!

[iconwarman]

Do Furrow disks work better than normal disks?



[knutson246810]

i love plowing !!! i hooked my allis chalmers 190xt up to a 5 bottom this year !! it was alot of fun !!

[AASparkChaser]

A ten bottom or twelve bottom plow would better utilize the horsepower. But, as I have seen in your other videos where it was extremely wet, an eight bottom is probably best.

[milofarmer1]

Love that sound it makes at about 1:05 when you drop it in the ground. No wonder all the hinge pins are worn out on those midwestern 4wds with all the turning and doubling back on the ends. Enjoyed it.

[Farmerknowsbest]

@milofarmer1 Yea, the turbo on that tractor makes a nice sound in that gear. The pins are only wore out if they aren't greased. We grease the tractor every 10 hours so they are tight as the day it was new.

The doubling back in only necessary on the first round our a new land, the tractor can easily turn but the plow can't turn that sharp

@Kistaki79 A hiba a fordításban keresendő! Én nem a traktorra értettem a hozzásólást , hanem a szántás minőségére!!! Amúgy osztom a véleményed!" Kistaki79 (1 nappal ezelőtt) @ kozma76 Ha én így szántanék itthon, öngyilkos lennék!! "

@kozma76 Nagy szavak egy kis magyar.

Now, if you didn't understand that because of googles translator, it means "big words for a small Hungarian"

[shifters2]

my old boss would of kicked my ass if i had left that lot up top of ground

[Farmerknowsbest]

@shifters2 As long as the stalks are touching soil they will decompose.

[okbuilder]

Can't understand why he's running down the old rows instead of across. Probably why he's leaving so much on top.

[Farmerknowsbest]

@okbuilder Have you ever plowed corn stalks before? Going across the rows doesn't end well.

[okbuilder]

11 sections in Texas. Some corn and a lot of red cane. Used a large DMI combo with a rotary conditioner behind a JD 8650. It also pays to run a shredder through before you try to bury a bunch of long stalks.... I never had a problem.

[Farmerknowsbest]

@okbuilder I don't believe DMI makes a mold board plow, or ever did. Might be wrong. They make a great disk ripper and if you are talking about disk ripping then yes, going on an angle works a lot better. However, like I said before, with a plow, you need to go with the rows.

Chopping stalks only makes economic sense if it is done by the combine with a chopping head, making an extra pass is much too costly. Several of the big ag schools in the US have done the study.

[okbuilder]

You're correct, it was a DMI Ecolo-Tiger combo. That's where our wires got crossed. I didn't realize that you were specifying a moldboard. My apologies for the mixup. The DMI setup is perfect for this application though. Disk in front, plow bottoms next, more disks, ripper shanks, more disks and trail it with a conditioner. Ready to replant in one pass.....

[Farmerknowsbest]

@okbuilder In a day or 2 I'll have up a video of a Caseih 690 eco-til disk ripper we demoed this fall. It did a good job in the stalks. Will have to see what is looks like in the spring before buying one.

[okbuilder]

If it works like the DMI, you won't be disappointed. Money spent will be made up quickly in money saved....

[AASparkChaser]

@Farmerknowsbest Yes, DMI did make a moldboard plow. A neighbor had a 10 bottom 18" model. Pulled it with a Steiger Cougar (Cummins engine-280 hp).

[maciek3032]

strasznie to pole wygląda!!!! taka orka u nas by nie przeszła

[linkbelt5800]

this is the best plowing video on all of you tube. the rest of you guys go to video school...taught by this guy

[Farmerknowsbest]

@linkbelt5800 Thanks!

[cinky91]

do dupy taka orka, przecież tylko ryje tą ziemię

[maverick12212000]

I absolutely LOVE to moldboard plow like this! I wish we still did, but haven't for about 5 years or so. We need to see more american moldboard plowing...not the 2 way foreign plows! Please make lots of vids this fall plowing.

[nchayfarmer]

the only reason why we dont is because of the moisture problem you will dry it out at the time and be mud when it rains

[giterdungal]

yea INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER

[walterfreg]

magari se trinciassi gli stocchi faresti un lavoro più pulito

[tractorguy58]

that plow looked pretty small for the size of tractor

[mrstefan07]

The idea was that a better ploughing would help you to get rid of weeds with less pesticides...in other words, I don't like that ,GENERALLY, the effects of the superficial ploughing are attenuated with pesticides...so don't take it personally

[Farmerknowsbest]

We plow to be able to grow continuous corn. No-til corn on corn is not a viable option here because of soil temperature and moisture content. If anything plowing disturbs more of the weed bank and makes weed pressure far worse.

[mrstefan07]

omg...you are just wasting time and money...what a blessing that there are pesticides, you easily solve the problem of weeds...modern agrculture is based on drilling (nextdoor to your plow) and pesticides...fuck the modern agriculture....

[Farmerknowsbest]

huh? Wanna try and rephrase that to something that makes sense?

[djtoonraider666]

ummmm hes not burying alot and why do you have a non reversible plough

[Farmerknowsbest]

That is an appropriate level of residue management. Your corn yields in the UK are no where near what they are here, so you can't understand just how much corn stalks there are. I know the UK is known for plowing, but our two countries are very different. I'd like a reversible plow, but they are very expensive.

[jg875102]

that is badass. that plow is pretty big compared to the one we have. i have to ask does that plow leave a little ditch where you would put the wheels in?

[agricolo85]

Please change the plow and the driver

[Farmerknowsbest]

Can you expand upon that?

[ThankGodImCountryBoy]

he is probly just saying that because he is from a different country where they have different ways of plowing

[cornfarmer4700]

why hes probably a better farmer than you

[heavyxpress3000]

i have always wanted to run one of these big case like this or newer but no one in my area has one midlands south carolina

[falkobit]

with this soil conditions this is is a bad work

[Landinaro80]

Ma te pareo arare questo?!?!?!?!

[agricolo85]

ma che, non son mica buoni questi di arare

[166242]

how come there is an extra bar at the top of the plow

[sf05farm]

is that a 7 bottom plow

[Farmerknowsbest]

Read the description, it says in it how many furrows the plow is

[KIMMYS50]

Gotta love the sound of the cummins! I just traded off our 9330 on a new stx 435. Hope the new Inveco's are as good.

[Farmerknowsbest]

Congrats!

[RenzeZielman]

STX 435 engines are pure Cummins, only the QSB 4.5 and QSB 6.7 are a joint development, based on the Case/Cummins 4BT and 6BT only with a longer stroke and 4 valves per cylinder.

Last year the deal between Cummins and Iveco was discontinued, however these engines are still being built by both Cummins and Iveco (New Holland)

[IamStupidz]

Haha lol XD we got a john deere 6715 plowing on a 3 furrow plow at 12 inchs haha =]

[dairyfarmer83]

It looks like you have added a beam on top of the original, why is that?

[mrbeefhbw]

My guess would be for strength. I know the soil up his way tends to be clay heavy and when that gets wet it can be a real bitch getting it plowed.

[DFarms001]

How wide are the bottoms set? How deep is he going?

We are having a hell of a time pulling 10-20's about 7-8 inches deep. Is it pulling real hard this year for you guys?

[rbrentbillingsley]

makes my old 3 bottom look like a pansy

[Deere4400]

ouch I cant wacth any more! just kidding, always wanted to try plowing, but we are 100% no-till. Good to see some corn on corn though, Whoever said you cant do it doesent know shit. looks like good ground? How was the crop?

[Farmerknowsbest]

Yea, continuous corn for 25 years will do that to soil. HAHA.

[cornfarmer4700]

no corn harvest videos

[Farmerknowsbest]

Oh put your pants back on, they are coming. LOL

[cornfarmer4700]

good im waitin lol

[oneskip]

good ole figure 8 turnarounds

[Farmerknowsbest]

Yea, you got to do that the first few rounds of the land to give the plow a chance to make it around. The tractor can do it easy, but not the plow.
