It really helps him. He can’t stand very long, and gets nervous about being out because he might not be near a chair. This helps him always have a seat with him.
Great having the boys together working. Great show. Really liked Dad getting involved making it right just like he has done probably so many times before.
Love that planter! Old technology that WORKS! A little adjustment here and there when needed. Unlike the new stuff that requires knowing when to use CTRL-ALT-DELETE
Awesome little planter. Cole has been the undefeated, stand alone, quick hitch planter for several generations here in the south. I've seen several single row JD and Kinze planters farmers rigged up for the sole purpose of sweet corn and sun flower seed.
Holy cow the old DickeyJohn monitor. Been a looong time since I seen one of those. That 7000 series planter was good stuff. I remember we had an 8-row JD 71 Flex-planter as well, it was a much slower process than the plate-less 7000.
That is a perfect sized tool for small farm gardens, test plots, etc. I love the looks on their faces when they got to play with something familiar. You could see the wheels turning as to where they might be able to use such a tool. All of them look like they want to borrow it to try out a few things on some small unused patches of land.
TTWT as I have said in the past, I really enjoy your videos but the one's with Pa are the best! (always reminds me of my dad) You can tell Tom and Randall are some good guys. Great family, cherish every moment!! God Bless! Enjoying seeing all the new bigger tractors too, I just added to my tractor family with a John Deere 2150 to help with the John Deere 40's we have.
that 7000 row unit was one of the first to have plateless technology. earlier plate corn planters had replaceable plates for each size kernel of seed corn. yes the kernels were bagged alike, when you changed kernel size you had to change to the correct size plate. this planter has fingers that bypassed the need for graded seed, read that as cheaper seed. also this planter had an elevator to lower each seed so they didn't bounce around and get two or more seeds where you want one (singularity as randy says). also you can place a herbicide and insecticide hopper behind the seed hopper if you so choose. also a chain that drags behind the closing wheels to help cover the seed trench. this row unit is the small block chevy of corn planters. 50 years old and you can still get accessories for it and new ideas are still being made for it. great video, loads of info for the tiny farmer. my dad had a 495A and then a 7000 when they first came out. the technology leap was gigantic at the time. we added the row monitor when it came out. man we were miles ahead of the neighbors back then. lol
494A, right? There was one series in between, with plateless technology. The 4 row was a 1240. The 8 row which dad had was a 1280. The 7000 had a better plateless system, but the max emerge disks and press wheels were miles ahead of the 12x0 series. Like you say, this is/was the most popular unit available.
That was a fun video to watch! My parents and grandparents were farmers but I never learned to farm. When I would have been old enough to learn my parents were done farming and on to other careers. This was my first glimpse into seeing how to setup a planter so I thought it was very interesting. I remember my dad selling his John Deere planter.
Nice to have family around. Nicer to know what they're talking about. You need two types of corn. One sweet, one popcorn. So, now it's question time. I think in unusual ways. Since that planter is one row only, can you plant in a circular pattern? That way, when those satellites from way up there shoot pictures of your property, people could go, what!!!!!?????. I look forward to your videos, your number 1 here, actually tied. Mr. Ritter is up there too. Wish he'd put out more. But, oh well. Nice video. May GOD bless you and your family.
hahaha yes! I knew in the first video of the 2038R that the tractor in the backround was a 5 series! And its a 5075E! Cant wait to see your projects with this big boy!:D I love your channel!:)
Tim, I'm really excited you did these last 2 videos. I have thought about getting one of these planters for awhile now, but wasn't sure because I know of several different places that builds these, but the others seemed like they were just doing it in their garage. I wasnt aware of J.O.Harris. I am definitely going to give them a call about a two row sweet corn planter to replace my old 2 row JD 246 plate planter that was wore out and I just sold it for parts. Thanks again, looking forward to seeing how it works for you. As I recall down in your area you're usually planting about 3 or 4 weeks ahead of us in western Pa, if its dry enough. It was good to see the rest of the family there to give you a hand in setting that beast up.
Funny, just a few days ago I was thinking I’d like a landscape rake, but on the front of my tractor. Did some research and found that Artillian 3 point hitch adapter for my fork frame. So glad I went with the Artillian forks because that frame is so useful for other things. Good advice from TTWT!
Great to see you guys all together and see your dad doing good ! that should work nice and hope you honked as you went by up north ! LOL and what up with the 5075e that looks nice and i see you have some thing under tarp ! LOL have a great day ! Curt :-)
It took me way to long to notice the 5075e, then again I did go on a successful leek hunt. We had a 5075m as a loaner last spring w/o the loader, the swivel seat was amazing!!!!
That will come into play for me in about 5 Years. I have been saving corn seeds for about a couple of years. This corn you can eat off the cob uncooked
well u answered my question about it being I-Match compatible from where u bought it at-huh. didn't seem all that bad to make it work-oh. i'dl almost drive out to eat some of sweet corn when it comes ready to pull. ha! great video--and loving ur new toy too. lol
Wow .You sure are lucky to have family who have experience in farm equipment . A rooky like me would be lost from the get go . Can't imagine these guys who plant thousands of acres of corn and wheat with those huge planters . You don't learn this stuff from any book .
Sure beats planting a acre of sweetcorn with a Earthway hand planter like I have done several times .I bought a White air planter years ago to do that to . But I never got around to do it .
Wow wow wow hold up what’s the big daddy Johnny in the shed!!!!! I’m so jealous now I want one like that so bad. Love the videos keep em coming. How’s the corn season going for y’all
The beam is the same size as the original when they made them 30 ft wide. It is easier to use the same sized beam so that the U-bolts, etc fit. One other point. You need down pressure to make the planter go into the ground. Since the 3 point does not apply down pressure, we depend on gravity for that. So we need weight.
I do know this much about that particular machine it has been a blessing to this organization and we are in the process now of purchasing our second 5075e awesome awesome awesome tractor for its size
I guess we finally found out what tractor was on your trailer in the background of the “Finally a Bigger Tractor” video. It’s the 5075e at 10:17 in this video. They both have the same grapple. Now hurry up and make some videos with it 👍🏻
I love how you guys find a way to incorporate your father and his wisdom into a lot of videos...... we need more of your father and his wisdom
Thanks Laurie. They visited on my birthday. Best birthday gift in years!!!
Tim cherish this with your dad
TTWT I love your videos with your Dad your Brother and Nephew in them they make me smile
We had a wonderful day together. Best birthday ever!
A hidden blessing of having damp soil is the family time it allows and the Fellowship in the shop.
Love to see videos with your dad.Grew up around older farmers,miss the simple knowledge they passed on.
Nice to see your Dad still out and about hope you get some of their ( Dad ,Brother & Nephew ) farm videos. There is a wealth of info between them.
Tim, I'm really digging your channel. Glad to see you go over 70k. That's awesome!
to have over 100 years of farming experience is priceless
Tim, I really enjoy your family. It's great. Exactly the way family should behave.
Love the way you all jump in and getter done... it is nice to have the know how sittin there in his chair...lol... great video...
I love your dad's walking stick/ chair. I've never seen one like it. Thank you, have a blessed night
It really helps him. He can’t stand very long, and gets nervous about being out because he might not be near a chair. This helps him always have a seat with him.
Nice to see family working together
Tim I think this is the absolute best video you and Kristy have ever made. ❤️
What’s old is new.You boys sure do play nice together.One of your best videos!!Thanks
The wisdom we can gather from those with experience is invaluable for sure.
Great having the boys together working. Great show. Really liked Dad getting involved making it right just like he has done probably so many times before.
Good to see Dad still getting around. Thank you for letting us enjoy him and your family.
Hi Tim and Christy lovely video it was love to see your dad and your brothers your dad looks very well you just cant keep a good man down
Tim Christi and family this was fun watching how everyone worked and figured how make it right
Thank You
God Bless
PaK
Love that planter! Old technology that WORKS! A little adjustment here and there when needed. Unlike the new stuff that requires knowing when to use CTRL-ALT-DELETE
Always enjoy seeing your Dad, Tom and Randall. They are characters! Lubricity....
Randall picked that planter up! Wow what a strong man!
Nice video Tim it's nice being around your family doing things together God Bless you guys
Got a love when family comes together especially when it’s all around the tractor
Nice planter. Good to have some good old school knowledge.
Anything that gets family together is great stuff !!!! " Fellowship " !!! God bless you all !!! EDDY.
The brothers working things out, a little kiddin going on, and Dad keeping everybody in line. Good times.
I love it when your family is involved in your videos!!!!
Glad to see those farm boys, your Dad's cane&seat combo is pretty darn cool so is your planter there Tim!
Lol...thanks guys for helping? My friend you were getting the way! That’s a hell of a pit crew!
Always great to have friends or family that can lend an experienced hand! Great video Tim!
Happy Birthday Tim! What an awesome family. That was a lot fun to watch.
Good to see your Dad in there! Still a wealth of knowledge!! That is a dandy sweet corn planter!! Great video .....
I liked how your nephew picked up the back end of the planter like it was nothing.
Loved vid!!! Nice to have them help ya! I like it when ya travel and video the big fields with them! Thanks so much!!
Great video!! I could watch you guys all day. You got a good old man there, Tim, that's for sure
I LOVE the farming with your family videos!
Great video. You got a good family there Tim! Also, I don't know why the lubricity bit was so funny to me but it had me LOL.
Ha! We tried this video last spring, and Tom couldn’t say ‘Lubricity’. So we just kept forcing him to say it.
@@TractorTimewithTimI think I remember that one. Good times!
Watching you put that on Johnny just made me think of the old show, Home Improvement, with Tim Allen. "More power! Arr Arr Arr!" Lol!
Awesome little planter. Cole has been the undefeated, stand alone, quick hitch planter for several generations here in the south. I've seen several single row JD and Kinze planters farmers rigged up for the sole purpose of sweet corn and sun flower seed.
You have a good family Tim.
Yes. Great family!
Tim your Dad is a good supervisor
My dad is good at many things!
Holy cow the old DickeyJohn monitor. Been a looong time since I seen one of those. That 7000 series planter was good stuff. I remember we had an 8-row JD 71 Flex-planter as well, it was a much slower process than the plate-less 7000.
One of my favorited videos thanks for sharing
I bought a 2 row off of a guy that builds them up in west central Wi. Love mine cant wait to get to be able to get planting sweet corn and popcorn
Christy, keep all those guys busy and glad Tim's Dad looks so well!
I like the new planter Tim! Good luck with it!
Nice to see the guy's and the professional set up! Thats a nice setup.
You sure are lucky to have family who have experience in farm equipment .Nice planter Tim
It's good to see brothers and dad to work together and have a good time enjoying each other✝✝✝👍👍👍(ps how's your girl doing
she's ready to come home! thanks!
That is a perfect sized tool for small farm gardens, test plots, etc. I love the looks on their faces when they got to play with something familiar.

Happy Birthday @@TractorTimewithTim we share the same month...
Nice planter tim and good job, and the family together 👍👍

Tom Scott Clever idea with planting circles. I like it.
That’s quite a crew you’ve got
Now that my dad has passed away, these videos with him are even more special!!
Another Excellent Video
hahaha yes! I knew in the first video of the 2038R that the tractor in the backround was a 5 series! And its a 5075E! Cant wait to see your projects with this big boy!:D I love your channel!:)
Love it way to call in the experts. God bless
I would love to hang out with that old man......boy i would learn alot...
Not a word about planting with love
Did you not watch it all? We did talk about that!
Tim, I'm really excited you did these last 2 videos. I have thought about getting one of these planters for awhile now, but wasn't sure because I know of several different places that builds these, but the others seemed like they were just doing it in their garage.

I want to see you plant with it like that! Lol make life interesting
Yea, would be hard to follow that row!!
Funny, just a few days ago I was thinking I’d like a landscape rake, but on the front of my tractor. Did some research and found that Artillian 3 point hitch adapter for my fork frame. So glad I went with the Artillian forks because that frame is so useful for other things. Good advice from TTWT!
WooHoo! Congratulations!
We need to see a video next week on all your new toys!!!
Yes. I think it is time!
seems like you guys were having too much fun playing with the planter LOL :)
Great to see you guys all together and see your dad doing good ! that should work nice and hope you honked as you went by up north ! LOL and what up with the 5075e that looks nice and i see you have some thing under tarp ! LOL have a great day ! Curt :-)
We have to use the tarp because you guys have eagle eyes!!!
Great video! Your dad is still very wise.
That is a top shelf planter
Great job enjoyed that!!! Nothing wrong with experience!!
It took me way to long to notice the 5075e, then again I did go on a successful leek hunt. We had a 5075m as a loaner last spring w/o the loader, the swivel seat was amazing!!!!
We upgraded to the air seat! :-)
Ohhh jealous! Have Tom/Randall figured out where they want to use it first when they borrow it 🤣
First serious project is planned for the Marks farm. They don’t have a grapple, so they have a very large project in mind!
It is really fun to all the family farmers together. Lots of brain power there.
Nice! Johnny 5 in the house (shop)! Can’t wait to see the videos on that!
Since you have so many tractors right now you should send one my way, just kidding awesome videos keep it up thanks for the videos
tim you had me worried, planning from the front? Glad to see you were just moving it!
Nothing like having knowledge and experience. Hope you have a bumper crop this year.
Great video!
Is that dad, older brother and younger brother? That's really cool you get to have a little farm equipment to remind you of the big farm.
Dad, older brother, and older brother’s son (my nephew).
That will come into play for me in about 5
Years. I have been saving corn seeds for about a couple of years. This corn you can eat off the cob uncooked
tell them all i said hi and be safe this year on the farm
How's the 5000 series in the background looking
well u answered my question about it being I-Match compatible from where u bought it at-huh. didn't seem all that bad to make it work-oh. i'dl almost drive out to eat some of sweet corn when it comes ready to pull. ha! great video--and loving ur new toy too. lol
Come on our Jim!
Can’t wait to see you make a garden and use the planter can you plant corn 🌽 by hand for a small garden.
Have you seen our prior sweet corn planting episodes? We’ve almost always done it by hand.
I have watched everyone of ttwt videos
Wow .You sure are lucky to have family who have experience in farm equipment . A rooky like me would be lost from the get go . Can't imagine these guys who plant thousands of acres of corn and wheat with those huge planters . You don't learn this stuff from any book .
What book did you learn "rooky" from?
@@mwilliamshs BIBLE ... What book did you learn TROLL from ???
Probably meant rookie?
Nice looking 5 Series tractor
Sure brings back memories of my youth in Perry County, IL.
Great family video- love some sweet corn! Ok, what about that 5075e?
Sure beats planting a acre of sweetcorn with a Earthway hand planter like I have done several times .I bought a White air planter years ago to do that to . But I never got around to do it .
Can't wait to see it in action.
5075 were we supposed to see it. Like the grapple on it
Just another tease :-)
How many Marx does it take to set up the new planter? The entire family. Great instructions and family time.
Wow wow wow hold up what’s the big daddy Johnny in the shed!!!!! I’m so jealous now I want one like that so bad. Love the videos keep em coming. How’s the corn season going for y’all
Is that a tornado siren in your back yard? We call those lahar (la-har) sirens out where I am.
I think you got it lubed up , nothing like having that huge Box beam of steel to hold it up etc
The beam is the same size as the original when they made them 30 ft wide.
It is easier to use the same sized beam so that the U-bolts, etc fit.
One other point. You need down pressure to make the planter go into the ground. Since the 3 point does not apply down pressure, we depend on gravity for that. So we need weight.
That SHURE is a nice looking 5075e sitting there in the background, I think it might make a great video topic for us guys with a bit LARGER JOHNNY
We’ll show it next week. Hopefully we can use it to help folks decide what size is best for them.
I do know this much about that particular machine it has been a blessing to this organization and we are in the process now of purchasing our second 5075e awesome awesome awesome tractor for its size
Have you thought of getting a hydraulic top link? Id like to see an install/use of one, i dont use my 3 point enough to justify it on our old ford
I have one on mine. Make adjustments easy. Just move a lever and I can adjust a box blade or any other three point
I guess we finally found out what tractor was on your trailer in the background of the “Finally a Bigger Tractor” video. It’s the 5075e at 10:17 in this video. They both have the same grapple. Now hurry up and make some videos with it 👍🏻
More detail tomorrow 3pm.
What's with the 5075?
Hey Tim. Why didn't you use the adjustable wrench and tape measure from your tractor toolbox? Hard to believe you don't keep those two tools in there.
I keep adjustable in the toolbox, but not tape measure.
I love it. Why do you still have the plastic on that seat though.
Why not?
I left mine on for a few days and I think it made my back sweat profusely
