Spring Tillage & Planting at McCune Farms - Mineral Illinois

Video of some tillage and corn planting action from McCune Farms near Annawan Illinois. In this video is a Versatile 550 Delta Track pulling a 55 foot wide Wil Rich field cultivator with a Versatile 310 tractor and 30 foot Wil Rich field cultivator running in the same field. The farm is also planting corn with a New Holland T8-410 Tractor pulling a John Deere DB90 (36 Row) planter.

Like to see Versatile making a comeback. They were the inovators to most 4 wheel drives today.

Must be a pretty good size operation with all the equipment you mentioned. Thanks for another great video!

[@canvids1]

Always nice to see the Tillage in the spring Mike.

[@jbellfarmer224]

Thar is one big planter. Great video Mike!

[@scruffy6151]

Thank you Mike for the video. Less wind then the last planting video at least there is a dust cloud in this one. Love of the shot of the dust cloud going all the way across the field. Very good footage and editing.
P.S. thank you for eating some dust for us. Lol

Sure looks like Hennepin canal in background of video there Mike. Great to see North Central Illinois ground being worked 👍

[@fergie35X]

Great video again Mike. Filling that corn drill (sorry, planter !) must take time !!

[@scotthaddick]

Cool, I fish that part of the Hennepein canal, I've seen the truck drive by and they always honk and wave. It is the first of those 2 tone Silverados I've actually seen on the road.

Like a bunch of kids in the sandbox, who has the nicest, biggest Tonka toy.

[@JoeKersey]

36 rows!!!

[@homecats1]

Why does the cab dome light flash at times and other times not?

[@Parents_of_Twins]

How long do a set of tracks last versus tires and what's the cost difference in both.

[@ndtschau]

A 36-row-planter!
How do you get these "monsters" on the road?😉👍

[@brunoliegghio3176]

The 2 sides hydraulically lift up and only the centre remains flat. It's shown in other videos.

[@brunoliegghio3176]

Sorry I was not looking at the 36-row-planter and missed it in your comment. I was referring to other narrower equipment. Not sure how it works with these planters that are so wide.

[@jlsmith6310]

Around the 17 min mark when you can see their farm ,is that a modified Terra Gator they use to pull their liquid manure spreader? Looks like it to me but thought you might know Mike?

[@austincolberg6042]

jlsmith6310 yes it is and he farms around 9000 acres

[@farmhandmike]

Yes thats what it is . It looked like a really cool set up. Maybe in the future I can do a video on it.

[@vanilakung7563]

Size does mather?

[@tonyboles7898]

I need a job do any hiring lol!!

[@MikeJones-yf2xx]

Farmers must be rich or in debt up to their eyes.

[@colelawless702]

Or they just spend money wisely

[@lfeco]

Not much actual work to farming anymore.It's almost like when we were kids, who had the nicest Tonka in the sandbox.

Dropping like flies.
