  • Planting Prep, and Spence bought a JD 4020! I bought my combine from Herb, and Herb just happened to have a JD 4020 that he was trying to sell. Spencer needed a tractor this spring (will explain in next video- tomorrow), so this worked out perfect! Going to try and keep the vids rolling this Spring. Thanks for watching!

    Respect to Spencer for jumping in. I did the same a few years ago; surprisingly, with similar land and machinery. It is the journey, not the destination. A side note to Grant; always return borrowed equipment better than you receive it. Understand you addressed the missing shank (and I agree that you’ll find it), but don’t return my ripper with dirt and stalks still on it. Reward good neighbors, don’t take them for granted.

      If you don't mind asking, do you need to start with a lot of money to afford all the equipment necessary? Or do farmers take insane loans and etc to pay later. Only asking because I know the tractors are very pricey and it confuses me how people can just jump in without having tons of money in the bank

    Mulch finisher would help for sure. If you prefer a field cultivator over a mulch finisher, most of the newer ones have better ground clearance and spacing between the shovels so you can get through more residue. I don’t think you could go wrong with either but definitely agree you will want one that doesn’t plug up as much as that one.

    Here’s Something to keep in mind for your planter if you want to go the variable rate route. I know it is expensive to do but you could do a max emerge 5e or exact emerge retro fit kit. Both of these options would utilize your current planter frame just bolt on new row units and all the extra wiring and equipment to run the electric drive row units.

    It's interesting to see all the different takes out there of tillage. Around here in southern Ontario we usually moldboard plow the stalks, sometimes mowing them down with a batwing mower first, then the cultivator w/ rolling harrow behind makes quick work of it in the spring. It's a lot of time and money though. I think people are really starting to move away from the old moldboard plowing tradition. The cornstalks even bung up the plow sometimes.

    As far as marking your tile lines, you can utilize your mapping system as if you are creating a/b lines or outlining a field and then save to a separate file for future reference which then you can overlay onto current mapping.

    If you wanna replace the cultivatur you should get an cultivating disk like we use in Europe after grian Harvest. It goes maby an 1,5´´ in the Ground and destroys the stalks, or what we do after Corn harvest is mulch auer fields and shred the stalks. hope that helps. greetings from Italy

    You might want to replace those tile outlets with PVC, and put a rat guard in them. Muskrats and raccoons like to get in them and they chew through the tile when the get stuck and can’t back out. You will end up with a sink hole and clogged lateral.

    Look up a Kelly diamond Harrow. Definitely don’t see it being used much up north but here in the south most people have one. We use them for bean and rice stubble on our farm and they work great. Typically we just have to hit it w the Kelly diamond harrow and then follow with a McFarland harrow.

      Also as a sidenote they do not cold start well. You can install aftermarket glowplugs or use ether in cold weather. Look at the pinions and front axle as they do wear. If the hydralic ports don't work my uncle says that the princess auto ones work well (Canadian company but think they ship to the US)

    On bleeding your fuel system on that 8110, they always bled hard, what you want to do is clamp the fuel cooler lines. If you don't the fuel bypasses through the cooler instead of going through the filter.
