A tour of where they store/park and perform maintenance on all their equipment would be awesome - I'm sure they have an incredible workshop. Keep up the great work!
I am going to ask if I can do that this winter. I need to ask before I poke around in their sheds and shop. You can see their farm in this video where I drove my tractor around the home place @ th-cam.com/video/huSfOW2pARY/w-d-xo.html
Awesome Video Presentation Thank you for taking the time to share this , I just don't think People Realize how Hard these Guys and Gals work all year long to Keep the basic commodities we all need to Live , I huge shout out to all the farmers , keep up the great work
I would love to see a tour of this farmers shop.. To see how he stores and maintains all that awesome equipment would be a treat. Love seeing them out in the fields of course, but all of that would not happen without all of that great equipment being serviced and maintained... Must go thru a few gallons of fuel during that single day of running all that equipment!
A special episode. Big farming operation. Many high hp tractors and brands. Many acres of beautiful farmland with rich soil. Good interview in the cab of the traked Challenger. Reminds me of a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer. IMHO i like the wheeled tractors as far as appearance goes, they look better those big JD's with big yellow wheels with and huge black rubber tires. Enjoyed very much, thank you BTP 🚜🇺🇸👍
I really appreciate your 'on the ground' videos, and that you limit your use of drones. Fantastic! You outdid yourself with the closeup of the disks, that was great. I always tell myself I'm only going to watch the first few minutes, but, dang it, it's always so interesting i watch the whole thing.
Oh wow what absolutely stunning john deere tractors and the biggest acreages i love the challenger too which would be over here in the ik the CLAAS challenger in white green and red and still as stunning as with their big 8900 combines love it all i shall watch this vid over and over well done for the great filming and information from the challenger driver very interesting...regards chris in the UK....
OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN ID LOVE TO GET IN THE THICK OF IT. I USED TO FARM IN THE TECUMSEH MI AREA CASE 970 AND GLEANER E NO TILL 6 R0W PLANTER AND LOVED IT.WONDERFUL VIDS ONLY IM NOT ON THE SEAT MAKES ME SAD.
It is so interesting listening to Billy explain things, he answers so many questions I have had like how often he has to change disk blades and how deep the disc is running. I remember pulling a four bottom plow and we typically went about 4 or 5 inches deep. It was not even possible to get 20 acres a day, even a long day. Once the field was plowed, in a sandy loam, we would run a disc with less offset than the Wishek and maybe cut 2 or 3 inches deep to smooth the field. We could cover 100 acres in a day but again that was after it took 5 days to plow the field and we never got any deeper than the Wishek and although the tractor was only 60 or so horsepower I am sure the fuel usage per acre then was more than it is now. Thanks for the informative interview, you do a great job and had a great man to interview.
Its gonna change these peoples lives when they start using high speed disks. Less overhead and faster planting all around better really cool to see a large outfit start using them, the ground gets worked so much faster with less tractors. He's I think really gonna like them disks., he should at least have someone demo lend one to him to use with that quad-track or challenger. :D
I love seeing the attachment cams. Good to see up close how these work, as a non-farmer. I'd like to see more of that into 2020. Great videos as always Jason! (from WNY btw)
Thank you for watching. My fiend Matt at the farm is carrying a GoPro and getting those close ups as he works. You can see S790 combine close ups in corn at th-cam.com/video/0HpNrWb5vyk/w-d-xo.html What part of WNY are you from?
@@bigtractorpower Awesome, I've watched every vid for the last 2 years. Bringing in Billy and Matt is a nice human touch behind the machines. I'm just about an hour north of Buffalo NY- so I'm very W in WNY. I think you were more Roch side of WNY if I'm remembering past videos correctly? Lets hope for a dry end of harvest in our area! It's been such a rainy year here. cheers!
Since you often get to film at this farm I was thinking maybe doing an interview with the owner or owners about the history of their operation and perhaps a tour as well would make a great video:)
Great as always. I know we have seen a few of the grain bins and was wandering if you would be able to 1 day show the shop and all the bins and grain dumps . thanks
@@bigtractorpower awesome. I think we all would be in farming heaven if you could mount cameras in everything . and just film it all .. And maybe how they go about hiring people for the farm . thanks.
Thank you for an awesome video. The money this farm has in equipment has to be staggering. Just one of those 9620's is a good half million. Would love to visit the farm. Thanks again.
Another outstanding video. Always appreciate your knowledgeable commentary and great camera work. In my opinion, your videos are some of the best ag based on TH-cam. Good job.
Liked, I know better than to argue with success. Just curious why they don't no-till the wheat into the corn stalks? Or have they ever tried no-till wheat? I'm a regular, so I know they follow wheat with no-till beans. Then corn.. Again, not trying to argue. Just would like their take on no-till wheat behind corn.
There's too much corn residue left on the field if it's not worked up. Both corn and wheat crops are susceptible to Fusarium pathogens so it helps to work up the ground and reduce the amount of available trash for the pathogen to exist on
This was great info from Billy as since i've had spinal surgeries i thought going from my 8970 on triples to a T9.615 on high idler tracks would be a good move but it has been a disaster so i had planned on getting a DT550 out for fall work on demo but we're still at harvest. I'd also wondered about single tracks like the Challenger or the JD
@@bigtractorpower have you did any videos about the giant new ground offset discs built by the ROME PLOW COMPANY in GA ? I'm sure your viewers would be interested in a factory tour video of the Rome Plow factory assembly plant and the different types of Heavy Duty farm and construction plowing discs that they manufacture .
When I was farming we would have a spray plane fly wheat on the grain sorghum a month before the sorghum harvest. We had wheat pasture 2 weeks after harvest
As John Deere oreanted as this operation seems to be these Wishek disks must be something pretty special to have that whole fleet ! Guess I needed to go further as he explains any how ,I just get excited when you put up something new ! The lonely Cat seems to be holding its own ,still has a JD receiver on it though! Was that one of the owners you were with ? Sure has his reasons for the equipment he chooses ,lots of dollars on the line with those decisions! Thanks for the video !
Dang, those guys harrowing look like they need new teeth after running across the disked ground.. they ever think about adding a drag to back of disk to help tame the clumps before the harrow hits??
One of the 26ft disks has tine harrows on it. They really do not accomplish much. The field really gets fluffed up by the disks which does make a bumpy ride. The harries really smooth it out as the drills cruise right across it to seed.
@@bigtractorpower i was meaning more for the harrow operators, but i see what you are saying, with as much dirt as they turn, a drag right behind disk wont do much. We have an old 331 deere "plow disk" that does the same thing. Makes it clumpy and hard to drive over right behind.
Here our average yields are 90-100 bu. All this wheat ground will be planted into a second crop of soybeans in June. The soybeans are harvested in October and will produce 40-60 bu depending on how much summer rain occurs.
You ever been hit out there in the field?? Looking at several of your videos it sure looks close to you being hit by the tractor or what ever they are pulling. I understand the video can be very deceiving and the distance is different from what we see in the video and what is reality with you standing there filming. I just keep thinking, hope he don't slip. Thanks for posting and sharing and for goodness sake, be safe out there.
Does the triple setup put a lot of strain on the axles? I.e are there more maintenance/replacement on those drivetrains than the belt tractors? What about of replacement of tires vs belts, how does that stack up?
The triples add no strain. They are the same width as metric duals. They provide better traction and flotation than duals. They ride smoother too. Replacement is less for three skinny tire than two large ones. You get over 3,000 hours on a set.
I have to ask if I can. Hopefully I can do that this winter. I have driven my tractor around the farm and you can see much of it in the video @ th-cam.com/video/huSfOW2pARY/w-d-xo.html
Did they switch from the r4045 sprayer with a dry box to the terra gator to spread fertilizer, or mabey that was a different farm with the deeres in your videos a couple years ago.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. I often go back and rewatch your older video cause i guess im a crazy farmer.Those new deere 8r tractors they officially released today on their website look sweet.
It does. This farm until 2003 flail mowed all the stalks, then ran DMI 730B mulch rippers then Wil-Rich soul finishers. In 2003 they switched to Wishek and made tillage a one pass operation.
You don’t know how nice it is to see a farmer breaking up the large clods right after disking . Lots of fathers want the ground to air out longer
Thank you for watching.
A tour of where they store/park and perform maintenance on all their equipment would be awesome - I'm sure they have an incredible workshop. Keep up the great work!

Thank you. I enjoy sharing what they have to say about the machines they run.
So cool that the farmer lets you film with him!!!!love the channel!!!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the farmers sharing their time and machines with BTP.
Economics of farming are what they are... But I would much rather see 10 family farms, than this big corporate farm.
This is a family farm not a corporate farm
What?

The action shot on the disk is cool. I really like that angle showing the disk working. Nice job
Thank you for watching. This are impressive tillage machines. The Wishek can really work the ground.

Is this the 2,800-acre field? These disks make the memory of my Grandpa's 3-row disk seem like a toy now.
It is the same farm. This field is about 8 miles from the 2,800 acre field. I would say they had about 200 acres in this field.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. Thanks for responding BTP.
Ive watched these boys do this a many of times. It's amazing how many acares they can work in a day
Damn I’d be in my element working there! Heaven.
Yes I would be in hog heaven myself....lol
Great video. Love to watch the Wisheks. Far cry from my Dad putting me on a Massey Harris with a 7’ disk. No umbrella.
The good old days 😁. A dairy I grew up had two Massey Harris 44s and two Case 970s. I have always liked Massey Harris.

Great video...pulling a disk takes a lot of power.!!!
Yes it does especially with 30 inch blades.
Thanks Jason, Billy seems a really nice modest bloke, good luck to him , roughly how many acres does he farm?
Billy is a great person to know. They cover over 30,000 acres.
Impressive fleet!
They cover a bunch of ground in a hurry. I enjoy watching your fleet of tractors and balers.
Big farm big money for all those tractors nice stream sir
It is a big investment to get a big job done.
When I was farming we would have a spray plane fly wheat on the grain sorghum a month before the sorghum harvest. We had wheat pasture 2 weeks after harvest
Absolutely 👍 amazing to watch.
Awesome Vid! We have come a long way from my youth on an AC 7040 with a disc!
That is a Awesome video. That is a lot of HP on this farm. I like the Challenger 875 the Best.
👍👍
I prefer dah Deere, this is on loan they wanted me to use it as a free b. To see if I like it.

✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋
Supercool video. Thanks.
Great video! That’s a lot of ground being covered! I bet they change their share of bearings during tillage.
I doubt this operation is going to keep a disc around long enough to have to change bearings.
Each tractor operator services the disk they run. There are a few service trucks in the field so they can service or fix and go.
Thanks for the video. The poor guys in the Harrow Tractors got a rough bouncy job to do. Lol
It’s smooth after the Harrow runs over it.
Awesome video! Great work!

That’s a littler bigger (a lot bigger)than our operation.Very cool video
Wheat is selling for $5.18 per bushel so if they get 200 bushel per acre off their 11,000 acres they will gross a little over 11 million dollars
You are real lucky if you have 90-100 bu per acre
Here our average yields are 90-100 bu. All this wheat ground will be planted into a second crop of soybeans in June. The soybeans are harvested in October and will produce 40-60 bu depending on how much summer rain occurs.
What you talking about...???? 80 bu would be real good....
Wrong area I guess

Does Agco have part ownership with wishek. I thought you could actually get the same disc labeled a sunflower.
Yes AGCO owns 50%. Aminty-Willrich owns the other half.
Wow that’s a nice family operation. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week
Thank you for watching. They have been farming in one place since the 1800’s. Hard work has paid off.

One thing is sure. Worse than on a CNH
Exelente video como siempre con mejor conocedor de maquinaria que existe
Should be a law against factory farming
Que hermosura de maquinas verdad de Dios que me apasiona este trabajo
Why not an attachment behind the disks to save another trip across the field ?
Primary tillage aka breaking up soil
Would roller baskets help level the soil -- and is the needed hp there?
😊👍 AWESOME OPERATION 😍😍😍😍😍
Chouf falahinne ki dayrine ya rab ali w hna ghir b wkiya

👍👍
You should do a shed tour of the massive fleet of equipment they run
I have to ask if I can. Hopefully I can do that this winter. I have driven my tractor around the farm and you can see much of it in the video @ th-cam.com/video/huSfOW2pARY/w-d-xo.html
Gotta have one hech of a garage to work on all the equipment
Yes sir my garage is 300 feet by 750
Interesting optical illusion on the tracks at 20:12
v3124 yeah it’s the frame of camera relative to turning speed of tracks
@@LMDProductionsOfficial I'm just really impressed that John Deere has developed non-moving tread technology. This will be revolutionary!

Good memory. That R4045 was at a dairy farm that I film at. They have since switched to a pull type HN345 pull type spreader on an 8370R.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. I often go back and rewatch your older video cause i guess im a crazy farmer.Those new deere 8r tractors they officially released today on their website look sweet.
I like the new 8R. The new side panel reminds me of the 730 two cylinder. If everything goes as planned I will be filming an 8RX next month.
I have seen farmers around here, bush hogging the corn stalks before running the disc over the fields. You think that will help much?
It does. This farm until 2003 flail mowed all the stalks, then ran DMI 730B mulch rippers then Wil-Rich soul finishers. In 2003 they switched to Wishek and made tillage a one pass operation.
