I wish I saw this when you posted it, I’d love to have helped you get the crops in, but I know what it’s like so I never complain. I love your farm life Jacob and I love your channel. You and Brad stay safe.
Oh wow, there are quite the change of farmers doing youtube now days; small operations like yours, to the bigger ones with all the multi large tractors and planters/sowers.
LOL:) I've thought the same thing about that fallen headliner strip in every video you've had with the IH tractors... I'm like, "how can he STAND that raggedy thing hanging right by his head blocking his vision?? It'd take about 5 seconds to cut off with a pocket knife or just grab it and RIP and be done in 2 seconds!" But I didn't want to say anything and appear to be a jerk LOL:) But YOU said it so I'll gladly now second it!!! Later! OL J R :)
I love the marker setup. Left remote does the left marker. Right remote does the right marker. Couldn't be simpler. If I come across any box lids I'll send 'em your way. I go to a lot of auctions and this kind of stuff comes up once in a while.
Yup I've read that in a number of studies they've done all over the place, that they've found NO CONSISTENT ADVANTAGE to any particular row spacing on bean planters versus another row spacing, when the results of multiple years are taken together as an average. Comparing drilled beans in 7.5 inch rows, narrow 15 inch rows, and "conventional" planted 30 inch rows. True there is variability, and in some years one planting pattern might make slightly better yields than one of the other patterns, but in following years one of the other patterns might well beat it out in terms of yield. So ON AVERAGE for most varieties, locations, local climate conditions, and exceptional climate conditions (drought, flooding, cold, heat, whatever) whatever advantage one sees in one planting style will be beaten by the other pattern in different conditions. Same can be said when it comes to different populations or varieties, and how they respond to different row spacings. SO while it's perfectly acceptable to have a given preference, thinking that "it's the BEST" is strictly a subjective judgment based on the preferences of the individual making them and not demonstrably superior on average. Later! OL J R :)
Yeah this year weather cooperated better so everyone got crops in a timely fashion 👍. But last year different story , but,but you know the early planted had more waterhemp ,mayor's tail then the late comers and they also yield good 👍 keep up the good work
My grandfather use to with a 30in row planter but it wasn't hook to the three point it was hooked to the hitch we always made sure that everything was clear when the beans were going into the ground if they are not clear then you had to clean it out then you're going to wander way it didn't come out
It appears your 1086 has developed the dreaded "death wobble" in the front end. Bet it is thrilling going down the road with it. When you get a chance get you some bushings and re bush the cylinder and linkage. Makes a big difference. As far as being late you do what you can when you can. I never worked on Sunday unless late in planting or late in harvest. By the way did you ever hear from the guy with the 800 series planters? I tried to find hoppers and lids for my 800's but couldn't so I am still patching mine up for now.We sometimes grow sunflowers and sell them to a company that mixes bird seed. We planted in 36 in rows and used a bean head. Have less loss with the bean head. You could probably find a market too.
I guess I am accustomed to the loose front end. It doesn't go wild wiggling like the 2910 does, but that is cause by a light front end and a mythical hydraulic issue. Now That you mention it, there is a very local guy who mixes bird seed. I need to call him now.... I haven't heard anything from him about the planters.
Great work guys! And if I seen correctly y'all got the 6610 on craigslist? I'm just a bit south of Lexington so when on Craigslist it pulls all the ads under Cincinnati
The video is from the first few days in July. It's none too early, but I''ve had to do it before and everything turned out well enough. It's no worse that double crop beans after wheat.
. What model planter is that and what are the length and width measurement for the seed box lids on your planter? I may know of a source for them. Cheers! Whipple
Boehm Farm . Our local "go to" guy for hard to find and old parts is Steve McCullough of McCullough's used farm parts. Get me the measurements and I'll see what he has. Let me know how many you need (maybe a couple extras for when you need them in the future) and I'll see if he has them and at what cost. Cheers! Whipple
It's not a 30 inch planter... not sure what the spacing is, maybe 15-20 inches... as narrow as you can reasonably go with those individual unit planters... Then skips or wider middles behind the tractor tires where the planter tires are, leaving tramlines for spraying. If a guy WANTED to, you can turn those wheel mounts around in front of the toolbar and mount them outboard on either side of the tractor rear tires, or do away with them completely, since those are self-driving unit planters-- the press wheel turns the plates. Then he could mount two more row units in there where the wheels are now planting in the middles behind the tractor tires and plant "full width" without any tram lines... That was the beauty of those old unit planters-- you could mount them on ANY toolbar in practically ANY configuration you could want. With a double toolbar you could have two rows of them and plant pretty much just like a drill, or double rows (two rows 5-10 inches apart on 30-40 inch centers) or practically any other pattern you could dream up... BUT those units aren't as good at getting super accurate depth control, covering of the seed (relying solely on the press wheel to collapse the seed furrow in around the seed) and of course plate metering isn't all that great for accuracy to be sure. BUT for non-spacing sensitive crops planted at high populations like cotton, grain sorghum, and soybeans, they work plenty "good enough". Later! OL J R :)
How much land do you guys own and Farm and how many acres do you guys rent and farm when you chew the vegetation up into the dirt does it help or hurt the crop grow
Mom and dad own 77. I rent about a hundred for grain, dad rents enough to get him to 100 acres and then we cut a separate 50+ acres of hay in the summer. Other farmers have cover crops, so its a green manure releasing nutrients as they decay.
Not true, was easy to sell 10 dollars plus beans up until the last month or so. Forward contracting and planting early you could of gained 100-200 dollars an acre. That sounds like a decent amount of money to me. Even at 8 dollars, 10-20 bushel is 80-160 dollars more an acre. Around here you could hire it done for less than 30 an acre easily. No offense, but as a small farmer you need to be taking advantage of every bushel and dollar you can.. Their was good money to be made if you know how to market.
Well I have been farming full time since 1971. With out making a profit we wouldnt survive year after year. If you are a part time hobby farmer then I can understand that comment. At the end of the day farming is a business, and it needs to be profitable most years to make a living. I love the lifestyle, but that wont pay the bills.

I would definitely buy some sunflower seeds off you. My chickens love them.
Really like your videos Jacob. Keep up the good work!
When your done with the big umbrella, I'll take it!! LOL
hahaha

Thanks for the video I really appreciate it can’t wait for the next one.

Depends on where you were for cooperation, Still two guys here who planted after me.
My grandfather use to with a 30in row planter but it wasn't hook to the three point it was hooked to the hitch we always made sure that everything was clear when the beans were going into the ground if they are not clear then you had to clean it out then you're going to wander way it didn't come out
Save the sunflower seed. grind it up and mix it with ground corn for live stock feed.
If you hire me I'll come work for you as I grew up on a dairy farm in Minnesota and understand the farming lifestyle and hours.
That's a big step to come all the way to Ohio.
Farm equipment scrap yards usually have alot of parts you need. Like the one here in Mt.calvary Wisconsin off of hwy 23
I like that old 3pt bean planter.... would be handy for small fields.... you ever try no-tilling with it?
I haven't tried no till with it. I don't know if it has enough down pressure.
I bet your right! Thank you
That qualifies as a green manure crop.even weeds pull up goodies.
I always have good green manure crops.
there was a big field of sunflowers last year in-between Wilmington and Cincy off of 71
But did they plant it for more than looks?

I haven't heard anything from him about the planters.
Ai like this video I think the reason with the middle rows plant more than the others is that they are planting more per acre because of the wide rows
Doing a great job jacob.
Buckley Bros might buy the sunflower. They use it in their horse feeds and some cattle feeds too
hmmmm, time for experimenting.
Call Mark and see what he says lol
Hi nice video good
You got a hard way to go. Keep busting your ass.
Great work guys! And if I seen correctly y'all got the 6610 on craigslist? I'm just a bit south of Lexington so when on Craigslist it pulls all the ads under Cincinnati
Yeah, It is casually for sale so we can put the money towards a front wheel assist loader tractor with a reverser.
Not too late for beans? Here in Iowa they're already big and full.
The video is from the first few days in July. It's none too early, but I''ve had to do it before and everything turned out well enough. It's no worse that double crop beans after wheat.
Great video 3 weeks late ha ha but hay is up and subs are growing
great vid. :)
Thank you
ur welcome :)
Hey I live in Ohio I can help
Great video, how many acres do you guys farm?
In various forms between dad and I, 250.
. What model planter is that and what are the length and width measurement for the seed box lids on your planter? I may know of a source for them. Cheers! Whipple
It's 295 row units. The boxes will fit old 56 planter too. I'll have to go out and measure them.
Boehm Farm . Our local "go to" guy for hard to find and old parts is Steve McCullough of McCullough's used farm parts. Get me the measurements and I'll see what he has. Let me know how many you need (maybe a couple extras for when you need them in the future) and I'll see if he has them and at what cost. Cheers! Whipple
You guys are funny
We can't let all this crappy weather get us down.
right
Does your 1086 not have a working air conditioning system?
It works when the wind blows and the doors are off.
👍👌🇨🇦❤
I would surely help you but I live in New Jersey sorry🤓🐝
That's just a short bit away.
Would you want a field cultivator
I want a soil finisher, ya know, the ones with half a dozen different actions.
Is that a 10 row planter? What the hell?
Edit: ok you're planting beans. Still I have never seen a 10 row 30" planter
It's not a 30 inch planter... not sure what the spacing is, maybe 15-20 inches... as narrow as you can reasonably go with those individual unit planters... Then skips or wider middles behind the tractor tires where the planter tires are, leaving tramlines for spraying.

Interesting.....
Are you having problems with water Hamp yet
No, just the good old regulars.
How long have you guys owned the 1086?
All my life that I know.
Boehm Farm huh neat
www.ihpartsandequipment.com/implement-parts/planters/category-21/?items_per_page=96
IH rectangular planter lids half way down the page. Hope it helps!
That is splendiferous, thank you!
whear is the 2+2
I think this video is from before the time of the 2+2.
You should get a John Deere 4640
Only if you're buying.
Ouch lol
I want to come help so badly but I live to far from you
What’s up
Oh, just the flood waters.
Iwould help but I’m in nebraska
It'll be a long trip.
Who exactly is Brad?
He's my best friend from college.
Sunflower silage
Profitable if supply low
guys yo like new yt update?
I guess I haven't seen it yet.
Hey guys
Hello
You are loosing yield planting that late. You really need to have them in the ground much sooner.. Would pay to have someone custom plant them...
You don't say...... This year, it won't pay to do anything with soy beans for anyone.
Not true, was easy to sell 10 dollars plus beans up until the last month or so. Forward contracting and planting early you could of gained 100-200 dollars an acre. That sounds like a decent amount of money to me. Even at 8 dollars, 10-20 bushel is 80-160 dollars more an acre. Around here you could hire it done for less than 30 an acre easily. No offense, but as a small farmer you need to be taking advantage of every bushel and dollar you can.. Their was good money to be made if you know how to market.
If you farming only for the money, you should quit.
Well I have been farming full time since 1971. With out making a profit we wouldnt survive year after year. If you are a part time hobby farmer then I can understand that comment. At the end of the day farming is a business, and it needs to be profitable most years to make a living. I love the lifestyle, but that wont pay the bills.
Only since 1971? Your still wet behind the ears.
