- Does ripping your soil pay??? That's the answer Matt tries to find out in this video as he harvests cotton off of ripped ground and not till ground on the same farm. But one thing is for sure. Matt, Kelly, and Andy are paying the price of ripping without any other tillage to smooth it back up...

Your picker has 4 handler sensors
Thanks for sharing
If ya rip,does t that heave the trenches upa little bit, definitely gotta disk those down, good video,thank you for sharing
What kind of grass Matt😅😂😅😂😅😂
Not the kind of grass that makes you good profit…
Matt, do you think your good day may have been because of reduced speed? I know when baling hay, if I run flat out I have more problems than running 2/3rds. Get more done, kinda like the tortoise and the hare fable.
Make sure your taillight housing that has the sensors in aren’t bent or warped slightly. They will work good until low light conditions then cause problems.
I’ll take a look at it
Wishing you and your family all the best ❤
Looks like it is picking clean .
Even though your defoliant left some leaves
Lot cleaner than I ever expected. And the grades on it were outstanding
We farm about 7500 acres we use rippers for just about all are being around that's going to corn and we use under for we ended up having to use high-speed tillage after it like a you know a John Deere high speed, potanger, landall, Kuhn kruss or a high plains something like that just to chew up the ground a little bit and flattened everything out that seems to make a big difference and also makes a big difference next year
glad the end is near this yr need better prices lower input cost would help also
Hey Matt good morning. Do you utilize that ripper you have to have it set on 30" spacing and run approximately a 20 degree angle to the row. What is happeng you have mellow ground where the shank ran and solid in-between. Makes it really rough. I can't shatter between the shanks that wide of spacing. The yield bump comes from the nutrient roots maximizing intake from the isle of the row. If the isle isn't mellow roots won't penetrate and will go straight down instead.
Do you think by pulling waterfurrows in those lows will help with those bare spots?
What about planting on beds like we do?
What
No way I’ll ever plant on beds with our topography
It would be neat to fabricate a hay pickup head on that picker. Make a self propelled round baler out of it. A guy could definitely get a lot more use out of an expensive machine. Maybe someone has tried it already?
Ill be curious to know if what you ripped with the case ripper is smoother. That case sure looked like it left no more of a trench than an aggressive corn planter.
It’s definitely smoother
Maybe try to broadcast oats or rye use a DMI type subsoiler then immediately use a VT or light disc hopefully the oats will be thick enough to stop rain erosion 🤷🏻♂️
As I've stated before, I know nothing about growing cotton but does it require additional nitrogen to yield what it does? And what nutrients is cotton most responsive to?
I apply 40 lbs N per acre. Standard university recommendation is 80 lbs/acre. Cotton is most responsive to potassium. Low potassium will absolutely kill yields.
@griggsfarmsllc thanks.is that 40lb applied as liquid 32% or 28%? Or do you use urea? And are you able to get by with less because of the cover crop/soybean credit? Where I farm potash is semi crucial to soybean yields but not detrimental if not applied.
we use urea and ammonium sulfate. I credit 40+ lbs N coming from the cover crop, chicken litter, and release of N from organic matter in the soil.
Ok, let's see if I can frame this question right. Let's say the speed you pick can be graphed from 1 -10 mph. Obviously, you wouldn't pick at 10 mph, but it sets a boundry. Let's say you pick at 5 mph most of the time. 10 mph I am guessing would leave a lot of cotton. 5 mph does pretty good. Would it pick cleaner if you picked at 3 mph? If so, does the added time cross a line where lack of efficency cuts out the profit of cleaner picked cotton? Just curious.
No because the heads are driven by the same hydraulic control that drives the wheels. They’re synced together. So the slower you drive, the slower the heads turn.
It’s really more complex than that oversimplified version, but you get the idea
What was your fuel consumption with picker, boll buggy, and builder? I know for us, running 3 strippers, two builders and two buggies, vs two baler strippers is drastically different. Not to mention labor costs. We went from 8 people to 3. And saved around 4 gallons to the acer on fuel. Ripping? I’m a fan of it in certain years. To your point, you had to replant, and then it turned off dry. That has a lot to do with it. I’d dump the chicken litter to those thin spots and run a light tillage over it to smooth it out some. You runnin the squirrel cages on your ripper should help some.
Fuel use with basket picker, boll buggy and module builders was less than the baler picker and module mover. Ran 2 module builders on around 30 gallons diesel a day. Module mover uses about same as boll buggy. Add in cost of wrap and it's definitely significantly more expensive running a baler picker even with labor savings, but as efficient it is, it's totally worth it in my eyes
@@griggsfarmsllc that’s why it’s cheaper is because it is more efficient. You are only on year two of a used machine. You’re getting the tricks figured out. Newer machines have a different sensor on the bale cradle. Watch, watch, watch the water pump and the wiring. Those first generation machines were problematic. Believe it or not the stripper with 12 row head weighs more than the picker by about 1000lbs. They have a quick connect like a combine for us. Makes life a lot better going down the road.
Does a cotton picker have any way to separate "trash" from the bowls/lint or does everything that gets grabbed by the heads go into the bale?
Everything that is grabbed by the spindle goes into the bale. There is some trash and burrs that make it into the bale but a picker picks much, much cleaner cotton than a cotton stripper does.
But if you can ignore JD problems how are they gonna get their fees?
🤦
@@M8Stealth JD's plan is to make License fees 10$ of their Net by 2030. They currently make between 1.2-2.5B Net.
So yeah they want their fees.
@@dralord1307 🤦🤦
@@dralord1307 Explain exactly how the two alarms discussed in the video, indicating issues that are being purposely ignored by the operator, generate fees for Deere. I'll wait...
@@M8Stealth In the video Matt asked for a way to stop the audio of the alarm. To set a specific fault code to silent.
Many times those sorts of things are specifically not put in for the exact reason of requiring a service call.
Just like on new cars if you get your oil changed the normal shop can not reset the check engine light. It has to be done with software that only the car manufacturer has. It has no negative effect on the vehicle but the insecurity it adds to the operator is enough to make the company a considerable amount of additional income.
Looks like a piece of an old section hire
Looks like it. No telling how long it Han been buried before the ripper found it
Put a Coke can around the sensors
