My most satisfying workdays on the farm were the days I plowed. I could look back at the field when I finished and say to myself, “I sure can see what I accomplished today.” Good feeling.
"Hadn't been plowed in a decade"? Dude, you were about 10 yo. Lol. That's SO wonderful to see you hanging out with DAD. I remember doing it with mine... cherish it, there's so many that don't have that special opportunity.
Love the drone shots of the fields being chiseled, long straight rows of tilled earth ( I know, auto steer, but still looks great ). You didn't say why Dad thought you were doing a "bad job" ... looked great to me (don't forget I lived 78 years in the city ). Also love the old stories with dad... $800 for a chisel bought 38 years ago and is still going strong today. I'd say that was a good investment. 🚜 🚜 🚜 🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜 🚜 🚜
We bought a horse farm in Jan. Decided to cut our own hay. After two Tractors and a baler, it was only fun the first two times. Not it's just hard work. People are buying they hay since we cut square bales for show horses. Show horses are stabled, so need sq bales. Pleasure horses eat round bales in pasture. We had so much rain we have a ton of hay. Cutting again Weds. Hopefully, the last cut this year.
Great video Cole and Brian and thanks for sharing about your $800 Chisel plough. Great drone shots and nice you are getting the ground ready to plant for next year.
Your spring tooth harrow is comprised of "teeth" (not shoes). Hard work well done. It's a pleasure to watch. I'm amazed you don't have to plow it first after 10 years fallow.
We've always called those pieces on the end of the chisels the "points" and they get rotated quite a bit, but I suppose that'll happen after 100 or so acres on the smaller ones. Beefier points we had started using a while back would give us somewhere in the 200 to 250 acre range before needing replaced.
Nice to see what you're aiming for with this tillage tool. Nice stories of yr dad in the quite silent tractor👍 Enjoy the soil treatment👌 Nice the autosteer works well, shown well by the drone pictures 😉
I love to plow. It is so great to give the soil fresh air and to see it up and soft and the roots of whatever you plant are more free to move down deep for moisture in dryer times of summer. Very important for the sandy loam plateau, I live on, (Sand Mtn). I wished I was able to farm full time, like you. It is a blessing for you to be able to carry on, what your dad and granddad have been doing for years. I am working on about 30 acres, right now, that hasn't been tilled in 40 years. I should have chiseled it first. I turned it with the turning plow and now I am beating myself up in the tractor, trying to use the disk harrow on it. God's speed.
@@bradrichardson8062 It was the only way to get the broom grass to stop growing. I had to turn it under a use a harrow on it and resow good orchard grass, red clover, bit of lespadeza in the mix. I tried lime, calcium and fertilizing. Ph was so out for so long. Some of the fescue came back but the broom (sage) grass had the soil so root bound the other good grasses didn't have a chance. I guess I could have sprayed killer on it but chose to plow it under, instead. It felt good getting rid of it. It was a sure win for me.
Hi Guys great video again 👍🏻 ! Your right Brian in 1982 most ppl in eastern South Dakota hadn’t seen fields of soybeans . Unless you were right along the very eastern boarder. Soybeans didn’t start until 1984 when everything was so wet that it got to late to plant corn . That’s when lots of ppl started planting soybeans . I can remember ppl still planting beans the 4th of July in 1984 . And with the change over to soybeans now you really have to look when you see a field of oats planted. Up until 1984 most of those soybean acres were growing oats !
You have an awesome dad man he seems like an amazing guy love his stories of the ole days and by the way the older a piece of equipment is usually it’s built like a brick shit house and the better it is built to last like that chisel you are pulling I don’t think they make equipment like that anymore it’s built so you have to spend money on it which is where these companies Mark it up
I would love to visit your farm one day, I like what your doing there with all the equipment's and technology behind. I hope i can do something like this in my country Tanzania.
I know it's not the "right" way to do it anymore, but there is nothing more satisfying than plowing God's land to plant your crops. I hooked up an old John Deere 3 bottom plow this spring just for the fun of it to plow up a couple acres of old pasture that had some scrub brush in it, Turned it all over, disced it up then used a drag harrow to pull the roots and crap out. It was fun and relaxing!
Watch out Ron they might send you to market. Lol. The first thing I always did after chiseling when disking ground was the end rows. Even though you had to do them again after disking. Bumpy thump bumpy.
A chisel pl. like that small doesnt need wheels if tractor has draft control,which I dont know if a J.D. has.I built a 10 metre ch. pl. with 40 ch.and 320 mm tips on each ch.(Kongskilde type)so it has full cut.Tractor is MF 9240 with 250 hp Cummins,mostly use gear 9 out of 18,and never used 4 wheel drive,depth is normally 15 cm.Thank you.
I hope you put some steel mesh over the wiring harness areas that the rats have chewed on... prevention of future problems. More than that, I hope you figure out a way to eliminate the rats at the farm, as you also mentioned how nasty they make the inside of the tires you use to cover the tarps over the corn pits. Dang, that chisel was built to last lifetimes. They didn't pinch pennies on farm equipment until the recent few decades, and I guess that chisel is 1965 or older. What was the word you used to describe the smell of the dirt? At the 12 minute 15 second mark... geosmin? "a scent of freshly turned soil’ so said Nathaniel Hawthorne, he is best known for The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. Thanks! I learn something in every video you make!
"Ooofda". Haven't heard that in a long time since I was a kid growing up in Minnesota in the 1970's. My grandpa who was Swedish/Norwegian used to say that. 😃
I always get confused with so many different names for tillage implements. The chisel is the same as a ripper? Which is the long hooks that rip up the root balls? Is that the same as a "sub soiler"? And a cultivator, is that just a collection of multiple tillage components in a single tool? Like the ones with a disc harrow + chisel stage + another disc + a leveling basket?
Rare to have something thats not been hammered to death but you know it will be good fertile ground your sowing in . Just like a good woman really good ground base good women
Wish it was dry here. All the rain and hurricanes, I am worried I am not going to be able to bale hay. I still have standing water under the the grass.
Ya I agree with Dad it needed to be deeper. You were doing a great job though I would have liked it deeper. Maybe used a ripper so that the pan is pierced.
Why do you have to plow the land? Here in Brazil, the land is not plowed to grow grain. Only in the cultivation of tubers is it necessary to plow the soil.
because the soils here are much more varied. Most of the original nutrients are from dead plant matter like grasses, which decay quickly but doesn't retain a wide variety of nutrients required for productive farming. Tilling brings the soil that hasn't decayed much because it lacks oxygen. The act of tilling sends the previous season's roots and loose plant matter into the soil where it can decay and provide nutrients for the next crop. The decomposition rate increases with tilling, and the soil is made looser, which allows new fertilizer to spread and soak deeper into the ground, which helps keep the root systems from growing too shallow and stunting the plant's growth. The promotion of deeper roots also helps prevent crop loss due to wind damage across the plains. Sometimes soil will also settle out, oftentimes the best soils are even mixtures of silt, sand and loam, and over time these mixtures will separate into their constituent parts, which is undesirable. Some plants here require looser soil to properly take hold, while other plants couldn't care less. A lot of times when planting corn, they do what is called a "no till" where they literally just run the seed drill over the year the ground regardless of the prior year's crop remnants.
@@jameshall3371 Does loose soil cause erosion? Do you use fertilizers? Here in brazil, using fertilizer on loose soil is throwing money in the trash, the rain takes the fertilizer to the deep soil and accelerates the salinization of underground water. Here you have two grain crops in the same area. In some places there are three crops a year, soybeans, corn, and grass.
I find these farming vids very interesting , Thanks for putting them out there, I watch this one and about four others and I notice all use John Deere equipment , There must be a good reason for that , thanks .
..you want to use that harrow to break ground?..hope you brought some spare tines cause theyll break on hard ground...is it because its wider than your plow and quicker?..
My most satisfying workdays on the farm were the days I plowed. I could look back at the field when I finished and say to myself, “I sure can see what I accomplished today.” Good feeling.
Hi Cole and your father.Thank you for sharing. I enjoy watching you and your family.God bless you and your family today and always.
I like the way your dad interacts with the blog and his humor.

I think dad said he wasn’t chiseling deep enough.
The top link was to short tipping the back up and not level .
Love dads stories. Adds to the background of how you got started and a few chuckles sometimes as well.
love watching you and your Dad riding in the cab together.. amazing drone footage. thanks
Few things more satisfying than a freshly tilled field.
U and your dad together are awesome used to farm 2700 acre beef and dairy farm miss it badly

Pretty funny exchange:

Yep, where we are they're called teeth or points.
Our family have always called em sweeps

Tilling the soil and harvesting...my favorite...many years ago!

Tillage is the worst thing for your soils

I really love watching your videos over here in Ireland. I tune in everytime.
Your drone shots along with the music if fantadtic. Great Job!! Very soothing!!!
By far my favorite farm channel and I watch a lot of them lol
Great drone footage, turning areas black signals end of summer, harvest to start. Can't wait to see the combines going.
Love you and pops sense of humor. Great content. Keep it up !
Love that drone shot, so peaceful. You and your dad are so stinkin' cute together :)
WOW! soooooo satisfying on that last field.
Wow like father and like Son 👍👍

Maaaammmmy!
Good job Cole and Brian! Love the videos!
Man I love to watch you guys and all the farming you do❤️. Plus, you really are pretty funny, both of you😂😂❤️. Have a good one!
Thanks 👍
Ya alls soil looks really good. That should be some really thick crops for you next year.
Just bought a Vaderstad Swift tillage harrow cant Wait to try it. Enjoy your videos👍
That ground worked up nice
That was really satisfying watching the old chisel work that ground
Your little froggie friend 🐸?
I think he done croaked.
Little froggy reminded me of a sail rabbit.
Great Video Cole and Brian.
Love dad stories.
We always used as a starting place about 10hp/point, we had a 13 point so 130hp and it worked pretty good.

awsome video cole for a pieace of old equipment sure works really well still you did a good job on the fieald thumbs up and shared
I love all of y’all videos keep up the good work
THOSE FIELDS LOOK AWESOME 👌 😎 👏 😀
That was cool to see it work up the ground
Running the chisel plow was always my favorite. Could also run in B3.
Toad jerky, I bet your pup will enjoy that. Thank you for choice in wording, to many yutubers don't have much understanding of proper usage of words.
Nice JOB!!!!

Edging in on 100k. Keep the good times rolling!
super video you did a great job in those fields , and great back round music
That’s what I do every spring before we plant except I run a jd 7600 and a 11 shank chizzle plow
Love the music
Another great video as always.
Boy, that dark soil looks good!
Dad knows how to farm. Frozen ground and fertilizer not sure what dad said but I agree ☝️

Cole you called them chisel shoes there called chisel points from Chuck
It isn’t my farm but if it was I would either be getting a disc chisel or subsoiler.
Good timing on buying the land ('87)
for sure!
Your soil looks great. How often do you all have it tested?
We use to call those spikes on the cultivator. We used them on slews.
Love the drone videos!

U got all your digger teeth lol that's what I call um, your dad cracks me up love his story's and that's all I got to stay bout that lol
I like that you point at things with your middle finger. I do that too but my doesn't like it because she thinks I'm flipping people off. Lol

Me too!!
Did anyone else get reminded of Michigan J Frog (aka the singing frog)? No? Just me? Ok.
I drive by when you guys were doing it on the field south east of you house the the swerve.
Sure looks like nice fields
Time to look into better soil management!
Why di you till the soil now? Most farmers use no till methods these days
Congrats on 100k subs! Have you guys ever tryed cover crops?
Can’t wait to get my new/old tractor...100000 subs!
Ooftah? What does it mean? Thank you. Awesome video
