Happy days from derry in Ireland
Great video. thank you
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO AARON ❤
Ive been around multiple 7000 planters for 20+ years and never have drive chain issues. Be sure your chains are good and replace your idlers. Also check chain alignment.
Great job! Glad to see you so excited and happy... family farming is a gift and so important... nothing grows behind the big box grocery store.
That field is looking right nice now. I hope you grow a terrific crop. Here's a shout out to Owen for the assistance.
A job well done Owen
Andy you surely didn't pull all your hair out lol
What cool cool shades, Owen.
Good job 👍
You did great that's the best corn planter John Deere ever made. I planted a lot of corn with a 7000 4 row . Great video
Nice mustache, Owen😂
Hope you have a great crop. All the best 🇬🇧.
I am hopeful that you get a good first year harvest. Camera placement is nice.
Thanks for the interesting video and taking the time to set up some nice shots. Good luck with the crop.
Great job and future good luck. I’ll be watching.
Awesome job Aaron an Owen 🤙🏾
Keeping the farm in the family makes the best help. Good to see Owen so excited with his contributions.
Excited right along with you! What a great day!!!
I hope you grow a terrific crop. Here's a shout out to Owen for the assistance
Hope your crop turns out great and love seing the family operation and good to see Owen out there helping. May your spring continue to be good to you and your family.
Howdy Aaron, I hope ya'll are doing well,
Well done Aaron, great job on seeding down your first corn crop, if I didn't know better, I'd say you seeded down the entire field, by hand, by the amount of dirt on your hands lol good job Aaron 👍 Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends
Nicely done, Aaron! Will pray for a great yield. 👍😊
Happy for u buddy seem like a really good dude need more young people like ur self
I think you were just a little excited when you finished. I hope all your hard work pays off for you and your beautiful bride.
Proud of you! Excited along with you too
You are hyped up! lol congrats on your first field!
Good luck with your first crop, excited for the future to see how great it turns out!
Congrats on getting your first crop in. That's so exciting!
Great video! As a non -farmer I appreciate your extensive explanations about the crop, fertilizer, treating the soil. etc.
Very interesting.
Nice work with the camera too, beauiful angles!
Planted my first corn crop this year with the same planter. It’s up all up now. Couldn’t be more excited
Hey Aaron,,looking good from Dunn County!!
Aron and Owen you all did great. I can hear the excitement in your voice. It's hard work, but its in your blood and I'm sure dad is proud of you. God bless those crops and your family.
Really pleased you got through the day, the job was completed despite a few difficulties, and all is well. Here’s hoping and praying for a good result at harvest time. Regards from Down Under.
I had a planter just like yours in the 1980"s. I would set the planter down when I filled the fertilizer boxes.
Alotta hope and excitement in your voice. Lord bless you and your labor.
Those planters are tried n true, The only JD product we had was a 7000 six row like yours. In fact if that planter came from SE MN it could be our old planter...
Congratulations on your first field planred !! We gad a 6 row 7000 and we never had a problem with the chains coming off ! But I guess we sold it in 98 so maybe that's why !!! Everyone is saying to replace the chains but maybe its the sprockets that are worn and helping the issue since you feel it got better , maybe it's because the rust was wraring off the chain and sprocket wear point
Great feeling to planting on your plot, congratulations to you and Darby. My best for a great harvest. Thanks Owen for helping out big brother, love your glasses 😊
I love that you are running the "big dog"! 7810's are right for everything!👍👍
The Irish were looking after you 😅😅😅😅
Aaron and Owen are a great Team🥰
Aaron I want to make a suggestion get heavier springs for ur chains. Or shorter ones
We converted our 7000 to Pequea top drive. It's not an overly difficult project and would make a good video and I'd highly recommend this conversion or your planter. We converted ours because the chains kept falling off. We sold that planter earlier this year but I have some pictures of the finished install if you want to see it. We bought the kit from The Planter Shop in Colby, WI. Give them a call and talk to them about it, they're a great resource for Deere planters.
Worked out well
Congratulations Aaron and Owen. Here's to a great 10 acres of corn.
Great Job!!!
congratulations , planting your own crop is a mile stone , good to see Owen telling everyone to subscribe in his deep stern voice , once you got the planter going looks like it went well and the gravity box too , now to watch it grow
Congrats Aaron, nice job on the in the field repairs to keep her moving along. Owen- 2 thumbs up to you as well 👍👍
I had a Deere 7000 for a long time. It was 8 row 30 inch. I got in the habit of putting new drive chains on every year. Planted about 300 acres per year. I got tired of seeing all the skips from the chains jumping.
Great video Aaron
What is your business plan moving forward .? I think documenting your operation from its infancy stages to a full on sustainable farm will be awesome. Are you looking at eventually running your own dairy herd ?
Congratulations, fingers crossed for a great first crop.
It was my first year too. Hope it works out.
We planted for years on our dairy farm with a John Deere 7000 planter and a John Deere 3020
Really nice job! I was so hoping to see the 1066 on the planter
Don't farm myself but do remember when we got the 7000 planters Believe it was 83 1983 they still run JD planters today .hope ya guys have great year
I am sure you will keep track of the settings you used on the planter and planting speed in a book somewhere.
Everybody's got to start somewhere. Despite the hiccups you got the crop in the ground. Well done fellas, Owen never says a lot but his parts fit right into the videos just like your Dad
I would be excited too. You had a pretty hilly uneven area from what I could see. Hope all comes up even better than you think. So good to see your brother Owen as well and he did a great job helping with the filming too. Thanks for the ride. And my God Bless You Real Good.
Great job helping Aaron Owen
thank you
Nice to see Owen. He needs to do a video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻OWEN BRINGS a funny tutorial. He’s a funny guy.
God bless your first crop as a young farmer. I look forward to the yields. Enjoy your videos from Tennessee.
Nice job Aaron
Always a challenge starting with a new-to-you planter. I had a couple issues on the last day of planting corn at my son's place...but got everything resolved and finished planting. Finished drilling beans today. Our forecast in Ohio is for rain tomorrow, so nice to have that wrapped up. Hope the weather cooperates so everyone can get rolling on hay.
May our Lord and Savior bless your new endeavors this year with a bountiful harvest! Ron
Great looking seed bed. The corn plants should all come up at the same time.That is always good. Now it is up to mother nature. That's the hard part of farming.Best of luck with your first crop year. Thanks 😊.
Ive often wondered, what is that long stretched arm on the planter do?
It marks where the center of the tractor should drive during the next-direction pass.
Congratulations 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Way to get seed into the ground. Not knowing enough about corn, you going to combine and sell loose grain or chop or going into bin for feed?
hopefully part of your cleanup will be the stearing wheel. HAHA
Is your new pot close to the folks land?
I know i have put the chain through the idlers wrong before and then sit there scratching my head wondering why it won't work. The 7000 is a great planter and it can be adapted to so many different ways of planting. A guy doesn't need to go into hock buying a new planter with all the electronics. But if you want GPS and auto steer a guy can add that to any tractor with negative ground and power steering.
Sorry didn’t mean to be harsh but would like to see you plant with the 686 which would have been around when they made the 7000s 😊
I got new drive chains once, and counted the links on the old and had to take a link out of the new chain
Mi first corn crop in 1980 was starter fertilizer banded loresban $50/bsg seed corn 4.2 acres/bag rent $100/acre and 24d post emerge total cost !20/acre yeild 129 bu/acre price $3.20/bu sealed =storage My best year for the next 20 yeaes
Ah, Lorsban! I loved Furadan, but it was outlawed first. 😮
I think you've got plenty of power there. Little overkill. Did you get your Shoup catalog? A must for that planter
But it's a NICE RIDE!
Awesome video
You can run with just 1 drive chain on each side.
Great video congratulations on your first planting. Watch around the 20 min mark it looks like a fertilizer tube might be leaking.
God is in charge
You should have inspected that planter before starting keep the videos coming buddy
that's to easy, back in the day, we handled tons of bagged corn & fertilizer ! And don't be like my Brother, he was young and wanted to plant corn, so we gave him lessons, so he planted about 25 acres, when it came up, it was every other row, so we talked to him about it and we looked at the planter and a sheer pin in the one drive wheel sheered off, so he says, Oh, I was wondering why I never had to put corn and fertilizer in the one side! WHAT? so we went and planted every other row, it was a 2 row planter!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know it's too late now, but you obviously didn't have that planter ready to start planting. The planter pass is the most important pass you will make in a corn crop and you only get one chance to get the stand that will make an excellent crop. Every chain and idler on the planter should have been replaced seeing the terrible shape they were in. You need to find a TH-cam channel with a good planter preseason check through and follow it to the letter. You must do everything right to get results.
great video what type of camera do you use for filming?
Is this your own personal ground or apart of your other ground
having grown up on a small dairy myself, I enjoy watching.
First time posting and have a suggestion that may (or may noy) help the channel. the mic does a very good job of picking up Your voice and at times I feel that You are yelling (might be strong wording)

Good luck with Your first corn crop..
Love ur videos,u can get after market shut off for your drive chains. That is a pain taking them off. Got mine from shoups.
What fertilizer mix is that?
I realize this video is 6 months old and maybe you have addressed these issues, if so, just ignore me. But 2 things. At 16:40 you can see fertilizer Blowing out of the box from the shaft/bearing section/ hole. Just a heads up just in case you didn't know.
Secondly, why are you plowing with your planter? Each of your rows are leaving deep rows behind. That can fill in and cause a kill off of your crop. Again, you may already know this by now but just in case I'm just asking to give a heads up and help out or learn something new. Best of luck.
Isthere afeason you didnt turn all that trashunder
Looks like you have a few holes in your fertilizer bin
You really also need to be running row cleaners
Just get a John Deere 7000 😂😂 with exact-emerg
Also how wore out r the sprockets and chains if those sprockets r wore out. Build ur teeth up on the high side on the teeth to get u by for a couple yrs those sprockets r a Dickenson to change only a suggestion to get u some profit being ur just starting out
Remember planting dictates how you pick or combine
🔈🎸Cruising and playing the radio……with no particular place to go!🎸🔈
I also think that making turns and seeding at the same time doesn‘t help the planting machine. Specialy small turns should be avoided. Better to make headrows and lift the planter up at the ends.
LOL I watch all the work and the thousand of dollars in machinery and man hours...We still expect a cob of corn for 49 cents.
What population r u planting buddy
Look good done get a good job.But it's only by the grace of God through Jesus christ Are only hope. GOD BLESS
On the 8th day, God created the caretaker to maintain his vision. He shall be known as the Farmer. Bless you
