I was very active in the North Adams FFA chapter. Glen Ruder was our teacher, great man. Did Dementation Team for 2 years. Sold ton of oranges, grape fruit ect. Garden seeds also. Life member of the FFA Alumni. Between FFA and working for Howard Laser I got the bug . Wish I could have farmed. Oh well.
I was active FFA member that provided so many opportunities. I received my State Degree and American Farmer Degree which I am very proud of obtaining. My nephew was State Officer a few years ago in Illinois. I still have my FFA jacket.
I loved FFA, Fuquay - Varina N C ,Chap Sec 79-80, President 80-81. Wake Federation President 80-81.Ran for state office did not win. Attended the 1980 convention in KC
Awesome video Nathan I really don't understand why you don't have more subscribers you almost have more videos the millennial farmer and Larson Farms put together and you're the best farming station in the nation go green big win last night
@Scott S yeah I understand what you're saying but Millennial farmer and Larson Farms they just kind of brag about all the new toys they have and they plug every item in the world I mean how many days is Millennial farmer talked about WD-40 but I understand what you're saying
Love the new shed,but never quite big enough to keep from playing machinery shuffle 😢!! R&K has some nice products used for years. Easy on us controlled pour drill guys 😂 have a lot of updates that sure help them do a way better job than the original Deere design. You probably have heard of Needham Ag lot of good products. Past FFA local Vice President,still help the two local chapters buy putting out there bean and corn ground. Thanks much sir!!
Everytime you change blades you should change seed tube protectors, and check your depth gauge mustache the bolts will wear so you have to take them off and take the bolt off, also check slop in your row units, pick them up and see how much play they have in them side to side
Hey Nathan. In regards to a comment you made in the previous video about your wife and having to take a road trip. I'm putting my guess in right now that she's pregnant again!
It doesn't matter who parked the 4020 and left the key on. One of the advantages of having an employee is that you can blame them for anything that goes wrong and their ability to argue with you is limited.
I 100% agree about the FFA being a great organization. I open enrolled to another HS school to have Ag classes & FFA. An interesting story you may enjoy. My Senior year in HS I was on the ballot for Ohio FFA State Officer at our State Convention. That year we had some State Officers from Michigan visiting our Convention. I started talking to one of the Michigan State Officers. As we talked we learned that we knew each other as little girls. We took Dance lessons together from Miss Vickie near Munson, MI (recital was in Waldron). It was a great time to catch up with her. Then a few years later I worked with her Grandfather when I was a Sales & research intern for The Andersons when they had several Farm Centers in NW OH & Southern MI including Munson (now Wilbur Ellis).
Nice! When I was a state officer in Michigan I was one of the visiting state officers to the Ohio State convention. It's always neat to see how different each state is.
Coming from a john deere technician. I recommend to my customers to replace the inner scraper or frog. It sets the bottom of the seed trench and cleans the disk inside.
Morning Nathan, been watching you for a few years now and this is one of your best videos on why you use the different seeders and the pluses and minuses. Kinda a Dummy’s version. Excellent job.
I was in FFA in 1968 to1972 at Penn High School in Mishawaka Indiana. I was vice president of FFA as a senior. I sold my Farm to my son in 2017 but I help him when I can.
You’d asked to share our own FFA experiences. I belonged to my schools FFA chapter, and was picked (along with 3 classmates) to attend the National FFA convention held in Kansas City, in November 1976. It was a great experience, with some interesting side tours of the Harry S Truman Museum…and KC Chiefs & Royals Sports Complex.
I was in FFA all thru HS. Was Star Chapter Farmer my sophomore year. Great organization that taught me a lot about service and agriculture. Much like your channel. Keep up the good work Nathan!
I used to help my uncle plow in the 70's with a 4020 and a 5 bottom plow.... kicked the key and broke it off in the ignition... not a good key placement.....
Bean planter have its own Hyd. valves powered by the PowerBeyond outlet? I don't understand why you couldn't use Hyd. outlets on tractor to unfold planter.
Fold functions are all controlled through 1 SCV. It raises and lowers the planter, runs the CCS fan, folds the wings, and raises/lowers the rear rank. All controlled with electric solenoid valves that need that box.
@@BorderViewFarms electric solenoid valves don't have a pushbutton override. I'm used to pneumatic valves on manufacturing equipment and the valve has pushbutton override.
4440 s always a good cold start. I was in the FFA, a class officer. Parliamentary Procedure was taught and stressed. It bugs me when people want make a motion, you move a motion.
Haha in Michigan we have a Conduct of Meetings contest for JH and Greenhand students. That was my specialty and frequently judge those contests today. I also have a reputation as the parliamentary procedure stickler in my church meeting and other formal meetings.
Bearing in mind I'm from the UK and we don't enjoy suitable weather to grow soya beans I am not convinced about the argument about row width issues (compared to using an air drill for this purpose) as discussed by yourself. I can understand the points you made about planting depth details to get even seed depth. no seed bounce, seed coverage etc. I assume that there must be plenty of heavy evidence to support your views but when one stops to consider the capital investment and maintenance costs of the specialist drill to plant beans there has to be a solid return on your investment - this has to be a lot of extra tons of beans. In addition how is this crop fertilized - broadcast or placement?
When the time comes to upgrade the bean planter, will you switch from 15” to 20” or 22” bean rows so there are fewer row units, but still be narrower than 30”???
Have you checked the wear on your gauge wheel arms where they meet the mustache,they will wear there,the arms can be flipped,left side to right right to left
@BorderViewFarms We lose signal all the time next to the windmills. We farm on Indiana/ Ohio line on US 24 outside Woodburn, In. Ordered a new planter with markers. Our strip till unit has markers as well.
Seriously though. Every video is now missing the audio on the mini player. You mentioned that you had a new go-pro for the farm show; are you sure that you aren't doing anything different?
I confused, some people plant on 30" rows and get 70 t0 80 bu/ac. And then there are some who plant 15" rows and get the same yield but spend twice as much seed increasing cost. So in my eyes you would lose in profit with the 15" rows. Help me understand this please.
Usually plant same population (amount of seeds) biggest difference is closer rows the sooner plant canopies out to cover ground which stops weed growth and helps ground from drying out for moisture retention.
Suggest not starting the tractor standing on the ground in front of the tire. For evidence of why -- earlier in the video, the 4440 wasn't in park, and the 4020 key was left on. Moral of the story, don't trust the machine is in a safe condition to start, that's how farmers get run over and injured or killed.
Come on Nate, Brocks not there you have to blame him even if you Know your the one who did it! Have to Keep up your Rep of being mean to Brock! What is the key sending power too anyway if there's No fuel solenoid and it has a mechanical hour meter what was using voltage?
I was very active in the North Adams

Nathan left & right hardware on planters ! Same on semis Trailers RVS Etc ! Its so things that turn don't loose up ! and that's the reasos !
It's amazing. Looking at your boy's side by side and only one you're difference. It really really shows the advancements that kids make at this age

@Scott S I mean if it wasn't for duggo I would have no need to watch Larson Farms
@Scott S if you don't mind me asking where do you farm
@Scott S that's cool are you a green or red machine guy

Case IH disk openers work on JG planters and they wear much longer due to better steel used
thank you
Was on the team that finished 3 at national soils homesite in Oklahoma. Missed 2 by two points. Wouldn't have met my wife it wasn't for FFA.

Best TH-camr out there you should have 200k subscribers keep ‘em coming I’ve been watching since day 1!
My local FFA had breakfast for the local farmers today . Me and my neighbor ate like kings .lol
NOCO booster packs work well. We have 2 on our farm

Love your videos. Thanks for supporting FFA. I am a retired Ag teacher/FFA advisor. Great opportunities for our ag youth.
For all kids not just farmers. More we can expose to FFA the better we all will be

Awesome, I was my chapter Vice-President for 2 years!
Wow , I learned how to watch your video on my new 65 inch tv , that’s pretty awesome , it the little things in life that make it awesome lol 😂
A very educational video, thank you.

Awesome! I never went to National Convention in Kansas City but went to Loivisville several times and Indianapolis.
My dream storage setup would be drive through bays.

Daft question Nathan. Could you not fit a single tine on the drill in line with the tractor wheels to help with compaction ?
looks to me like the key was off and you turn it on in the vid
Hello from Siesta Key Florida
yes i was
Can you please show what all the hydraulic and electrical connections are on the planter
Great video!!
Sure
We are planting 15 inch corn now ur set up for that we're located in Midwestern Ontario Canada
Silage?
just blame brock for leaving key on 😂😂

What company makes the closing wheel frame bearing update?
RK products/Copperhead Ag
When the time comes to upgrade the bean planter, will you switch from 15” to 20” or 22” bean rows so there are fewer row units, but still be narrower than 30”???
We would consider 20" probably but I don't know.
Have you checked the wear on your gauge wheel arms where they meet the mustache,they will wear there,the arms can be flipped,left side to right right to left
They are worn and have already been flipped. The thing about that wear is that you just set it a notch deeper, and it doesn't affect anything.
Agreed ,I also index my row units every year
What do you do with old discs??🇨🇮🍀
Scrap
Is the 4020 still 24 volt or has it been converted to 12?? The old 24 voltv start a lot better
It's 12 volt
They make a disk for the 1790 now that will plant wheat too. I have been trying to find a 1790 to replace our 1690.
I've seen that but 15" wheat is not a good idea. You'd have to double plant to get narrower rows.
@@BorderViewFarms we do just that with our 1690 for oats, it works good. I have tried 15 inch oats and it does work.
Noticed you had a spiked closing wheel on a row unit. Have u seen better performance from those styles
On the corn planter yes. Bean planter not enough to put them on the rest of the planter
The new 24 row doesn't have row markers. What do you do if you lose a GPS signal?
Drive straight. I can't remember the last time I lost GPS for more than a minute.
@BorderViewFarms We lose signal all the time next to the windmills. We farm on Indiana/ Ohio line on US 24 outside Woodburn, In. Ordered a new planter with markers. Our strip till unit has markers as well.
Only thing left with a row marker is my dad's one row sweet corn planter that he forces me to plant his 24 rows of sweet corn with. Father's!!!
What units does that planter have?
Pro Series XP
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does your bean planter have row shutoffs? I know Brian Brown was unsure about using air seeder for beans because of row shutoff along with your list.
Yes it does
Can I get a quote pld
I also insist on using CW and CCW
Seriously though. Every video is now missing the audio on the mini player. You mentioned that you had a new go-pro for the farm show; are you sure that you aren't doing anything different?
This one was all filmed with my phone. I tried watching the mini player on my computer, everything works here.
@@BorderViewFarms Well, shoot! Thank you for taking the time to check. Sorry to waste your time with it. God bless.
I confused, some people plant on 30" rows and get 70 t0 80 bu/ac. And then there are some who plant 15" rows and get the same yield but spend twice as much seed increasing cost. So in my eyes you would lose in profit with the 15" rows. Help me understand this please.
Usually plant same population (amount of seeds) biggest difference is closer rows the sooner plant canopies out to cover ground which stops weed growth and helps ground from drying out for moisture retention.
Seed population stays the same. Just more iron cost. But you gain weed control and easier to harvest at the very least
Going to narrower rows does not double the seed cost. Planting population stays roughly the same. Plants are spread out more in narrower rows.
FFA 1986, then started working and making money, didn't have time for FFA.

I hear you but they won't start if not in park. (Well their not supposed to and it didn't)
@@BorderViewFarms It's like firearm safety, never assume.
Come on Nate, Brocks not there you have to blame him even if you Know your the one who did it! Have to Keep up your Rep of being mean to Brock! What is the key sending power too anyway if there's No fuel solenoid and it has a mechanical hour meter what was using voltage?
I'm not sure but it was dead
Pls
Blame Brock anyways. #keygate #4020 #deadbattery #Brockdidit
Just go ahead and pull the key on the 4020 before Brock shows up😂
Get a dog and increase your subs. 👍🏻
Why do you waste so much time assigning blame, just move on to solve the problem
How much time do you think I wasted?
