This takes me back! My father and I farmed this property back in the 60's and 70's. It's fantastic seeing all the new equipment working the land. The drone shots are fantastic, all the land marks are there, the mountains on the horizon in the south east, Grattai, Castle Top and Mount Waa, Coffin Hill, Glen Luna. I'm blown away, fantastic!
Preferably, apparently a difficult word to pronounce, was hilarious watching the several attempts to do so. Well done Matt lol
Don’t worry about what your safety glasses look like mate, I’ve lost one eye to a chemical accident, all because someone connected the wrong container to the wrong pipe. The surgeons couldn’t put in a prosthetic because the acid burnt away to much flesh along with the eye socket itself , I’m left with quarter of my face missing. So I bet I look a whole lot less cooler than someone wearing safety glasses, they’re cheap and and easy to wear no matter what you’re doing. My brother reckons I’ve now got the kind of face that appears in windows during a blackout in a electrical storm, gotta love brothers. Cheers.
wonderfully edited, a joy to watch
The lengths farmers have to go through to keep everyone fed is nuts. Good on ya fellas.
Matt, if you’re squinting more and your eyes hurt you definitely need a check up with an eye specialist or at least a competent optometrist. I’m a specialist doctor but not an eye specialist and I can think of 3 things that could be going on. Glaucoma, cataracts (which are very common even in young people in Australia especially those who work outdoors) and good old fashioned age related visual decline. All of which need attending to and treatment. Love the video, grew up in Moree NSW and worked on cotton and wheat farms during school and university holidays. Even drove an old Commer during wheat harvest.
The drone shots never get boring, but it is understandable that it is not always possible. It is always a treat. 👍
Love it give me more let’s get this channel to 50k before June or July
Wow!! 2.45 miles one way!! That's a pretty big field. Lol. I always enjoy the videos. Thanks for bringing us along. I farm with my Dad and brother, so I can really relate. 👍
Thanks Mat for this great video !😊👍
Hi guys, just a question please, why don’t you put water in the tyres for weight rather than fitting the weights, just curious as I know you will have a reason. Great video, I used to love planting but nothing on the scale you guys do. Cheers fellas
A nice clear sky for sowing. 😊
Matt a farm can’t operate without bailing twine ,zip ties , tie wire ,the occasional soft drink can to repair stuff and the ever handy 100 mile an hour tape lol keep up the great work all the best from Tassie
Another great video as always
1st time watching the case tractor 🚜 nice piece of kit
Great job fellas.
Good morning from Texas
I really miss farming but enjoy watching you as you all work as a team
Great work
Stay safe and be good
The old Grasshopper may be due for abit of love and Tendercare on Her engine ..... Keep the Great content coming , Love Your work and the Family banter ......
She’s been breathing heavy for a while now, it was meant to be on light semi retired duties😳 rogator will be back soon 👍
I just couldnt plant a field that long lol. id get so sleepy. im glad our fields on the farm I work at here in the USA are nno more then 60 acres a field but they are as wide as they are long.
Never feel silly for wearing PPE, including sunglasses. I wear (safety) sunglasses whenever I'm out on the farm - for sun protection as well as from dirt/dust, flying stones, fencing wire, branches, whatever tries to hit me! (only open tractor here)
Gone are the days of sowing the old way. amazing tech
Awesome drone footage Matt
My first love framing
Tractor, harvester operator job provide in your country
Hello There
I'm surprised that you don't fill your tyres up with water. it not only adds ballast but makes them bite a bit harder.
This takes me back around 50 years ago. I lived at Moree, 2 brothers owned 7,000 acres. I went out on days off and done many different things. Stick picking after they had 800 acres cleared. Taking trucks to silo on farm. Roo shooting on a Saturday night.
Great video. Love the drone shots. Hope you get a good season, and maybe make a few dollars
Tyres at 18-psi should help , did notice them bulging a little more than before...duels if this doesn't help. Interesting on the fuel consumption , good to have that info.
MASSIVE fields!!!!!
I wouldn’t want to drive it all day but that old comma sounds great
Thanks so much for videos, really enjoy watching the action, cheers everyone 👏👏
Great job seeding Brad
Great job seeding Matt
Thank you for your work 😊
Hi Matt, another great video!!!
Grasshopper breathing a mit heavy!!
Putting the hp to ground now!!
I could smell the horsepower from here.
Great video Matt
Thanks for sharing hope planting goes without any problems love watching
Thank you for sharing.
Morning thanks for sharing your time. Very enjoyable
May our Lord God provide nourishing rains for all farmers in your area very soon . Here in Geraldto we have had no more rain for two weeks .
Thanks! It’s pretty dry here now🙏
Great job spraying Matt
Nice One Matt. 👍
Grasshoppers old enough to smoke 😂😂
Very good Video 👍 👍
Serious acres Massive sized properties
I love the sounds of those old detroit 2 cycles haha one of a kind engines . Got one on the farm I’d love to get running
Well done boys.🕶
you kept the, preferably, fumble in the vid..... good on ya. a little humility builds charactor. the rest of the vid. was awesome to!
Awesome when that drone shot pans out wide angle. Feels like you could do a full 12 hour shift and only complete 3 laps of the paddock…
Nice work, gee that ground looked tough going, but you got it done 👍 don’t worry what you look like, look after your eyes, you only get one set 😬
Ha Jacko's that planter is a real Mad Max looking rig excellent LOL That case know it's there .......
wow😮
Great videos and content,wonderful drone shots,shows how big this country is, I send pictures of it to my son farming in the uk.
I send a picture from the 4km field drone shot to my best friend. We talked about it recently. I told him that I wished that I had a bigger garden. (it is 10 by 10 meter) He said to me, well it is bigger than my patio. And then I replied to him, this farmer family in Australia have a single field that is 4km long!!😱 I wanted to make sure that he is aware that his patio is not the standard. 🤣
We usually say 4 lug bars in contact with the ground I only counted 3 on those tires. You could drop some more air. I am also used to dual 800's not singles. Singles 1100 are very vice though, you could run 8 psi in those.
For what it's worth, the 18v cordless shop vacuums work pretty good for in field truck clean up.
Dreams if only you could get the 747 Big Bud on your property.
Hopefully we will see Phil the Electrician in action with the shed lights and of course all of the power points
We run calcium Chloride in the tires to add weight 🇨🇦
I believe an engine rebuild is going to be in order during the off season for the Grasshopper. Noticed quite allot of blowby coming out of the crankcase vent.
Just means we are oiling all of the cylinder😂😂 there will be a few decisions to be made 👍
Hey Matt!! The sunglasses make you look like a TH-cam star 🌟 Glad you're taking care of your eyes. Any updates when the Challenger's engine will get back?
Haha😂 the engine is done apparently but waiting on injectors👍
Sure it's the seat n not your aching bones? mate. VG vlog with well shot drone work. Thanks.
Cheers mate, my back does make similar sounds sometimes🤣
If you have not done so, a trip to the optometrist is in order,.sore eyes need checking or you end up like me with trips to the ophthalmologist and that makes the cost of GoPros, chicken feed. Inside the eye, the gooey stuff, gets more fibrous as we age and it affects how the eyeball moves and focuses the lens. That can cause discomfort. Needs a check. Great vlog, thanks
I use to build John Deere air seeders in Valley City North Dakota. We sent some seeders to Australia. What do you get for rain fall around there? We get about 15" a year around here. It's flat like the Red River Valley. You can watch your dog run away for two weeks.
Hi mate, we get about 22inch annual rainfall👍😁
We enjoy it all 11:00
Don't those slide rule type tire pressure guages get pretty inaccurate at low pressures?
Ya look like the cool dude imoji....
That power hop has a bit to do with tyre pressure?
i would seriously recommend a digital tire gauge not an (erratic and non accurate) stick
The old grasshopper is breathing very heavy mate.
Just making sure the whole cylinder is getting oiled👍😂
@@thejacksonbrothers breathing heavy is better than not breathing lol
yeee how to create a dessert
Injust came across your channel im here un america i also work on a farm how do u water there pivots poly pipe or pull up levees
Hi , we don’t have any irrigated paddocks👍😁
Very interesting coverage, thanks. The ground looks very dry, does the seed not need watering or do you have rain coming?
There is moisture down about 2 inches so we are sowing into that, it won’t need more rain to come up but it would be nice!😁
😎👍🏴
Beat up commer still earning it's keep!!😂 🇬🇧👍
Pity Britain doesn’t make anything of use to Australia anymore. But at least you continually buy Aussie food products since brexit!
If the rocks can damage dual tyres on the large articulated tractors, how much do the rocks damage the rubber tracks on the two track Challenger?
A lot😂That’s why we use the Steiger in the bad rocks where it’s organic😁
how deep are you going? it seems the steiger struggling to pull!
How do you work who runs what? Is it just that you are the best at the spraying, so other guys whatever is left over to run?
It’s a bit of that but also for efficiency and avoiding mistakes it’s easier if someone is doing the same job👍
Awesome work but how u spread the water to ur all field or it will grow only from rain water how u manage this much land with water ? in India it's big problem reply mate
We only rely on rain to water the crops👍
PREFERABLY you should look after your eyeballs mate......all joking aside!😅
Another great vid, thanks for all your efforts.
Best wishes all❤
G'day.just wondering....
What is the chemical your spraying in the sprayer? And what does it do?
Thanks
Hi mate, It was mainly gramoxone to burn of any surviving weeds from the previous spray👍😁
Planter does it have detection for seed going down pipes to tines putting it in ground ?
Not currently but we have been looking into it👍
Is your seeder a normal size for your area? Just seems small for that land you farm but I guess where I live everyone thinks bigger is better !!
12m is a common size here, with contours etc bigger can be tricky, we don’t struggle to get everything sown in time so it’s a good size for us👍😁
How many tons an acre will it yield, just a ball park figure is good, many thanks from England.
Hi Alan, it hopefully will yield about 2 ton to the acre in a reasonable year👍
Citrus farmer from South Africa, just a question.
Any reason why you guys pull the cart behind the drill and other farmers pull it infront of the drill..?
Hi! There are benefits to both, it’s great being able to see the whole bar while working and not having all the load go through the aircart frame. Some like having it in front so the aircart isn’t driving over what’s been sown👍
I have a good quality pair of safety sunglasses and after wearing them for a few hours it wrecks my vision. Going back to normal sunnies
Much better video than the Americans
Do you guys run air over water in your tyres at all
Most of the newer tractors use weights instead of putting water in the tyres, a lot of old tractors still use water👍
Interesting that you are using tires without fluid in the tires rather than adding dry weights. What is the reason for that choice? Thanks.😊
With fluid in the tyres you lose a bit of bulge in them which increases compaction, also better for driving down the road👍
Rims also rust n its a pain to fix a leak with water lol.
What year is the old Commer mate 👍🏻🏴
I’m not sure, I’d have to check👍
@@thejacksonbrothers just wondering if it’s as old as me 64 and that’s the year I was born not my age 😅👍🏻🏴
Run a competition to give away a Nutrien hat. I want one. 🤣
No, they are all mine! 😂😂
Why should you not spray when smoke in air.?
If it’s hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion so have to be careful not to get chemical caught in the layer of air and then it drift onto someone else’s paddocks👍
KILOMETRES thanks.
Australia is not some third world backwater STILL using Imperial Measures.
Why not spray if there's smoke in the air?
Good question
Probably a temp inversion.
Hi Paul, if the smoke is hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion so if you spray the chemical can get caught in one and wipe out a crop many kms away👍
@@thejacksonbrothers Every day is a school day! Thanks for the education. I (non-farmer) would have told you that smoke hanging around meant little or no wind, so ideal spraying conditions! 🙂
@@paulryan522 I should of explained it more in the video but you always want some wind while spraying👍
Hi mate, 23yo future backpacker from munich here. Would love to get a job during the harvest season in WA and am wondering if you could hook me up staring early november. obviously only after sending my cv and having a chat and stuff. Happy to pay a comission if it works out (: cheers!
Hi mate, we are in NSW so a bit far away from WA👍😁 all the best
@@thejacksonbrothers honestly I don't really mind as I'm currently just figuring out my plans, starting in NSW-spring also sounds great! So my offer is still standing as long I can start Nov/Dec 😁 Thx man
Hey Matt, me being a novice can you explain why you don’t spray when there is smoke haze
Hi Keith, if there is smoke hanging around in a layer it means there is an inversion meaning if we spray the chemical can get caught up in that layer and wipe out a crop many klms away😁
An inversion layer forms when cold air forms a layer above a warm layer on the ground, when spraying it traps chemical between the warm layer and the cold layer on top. Under these conditions the warm air rises and the cold air pushes it along. Cold air moves downhill and follows the contours. This area is very flat with some fields less than 1% slope. The chemical can travel many kilometres. This issue was identified in the early 1980’s when glyphosate stunted large areas of crops some 14 kilometres away from the recognised point of origin. Some farmers and agricultural aircraft drop smoke canisters to identify these inversion layers before spraying. It can get very expensive if your negligence causes damage to a neighbours crops.
Why not put double tyres on
That’s plan c👍
Sir cant you help me to work in Australia
Hi Matt where is Ur farm located
Hello There
Plefery
You don’t think the pressure in the right rear tyre is a tad low ? Can see the bulge which I am wondering might not be good for the wall with all that weight and power at the same time.
Takes alot to hurt those tyres! Less pressure is more traction and more floatation to help with compaction issues! Can't grow clean crops in rock hard country 20psi is usually the norm if not abit less with water in them aswell!
@@samsymes475 cheers, was interested to see the tyres still have water in them !! to about top rim ?
"IF" tires
