- Gav Zell planting the 2019 winter crop in northern NSW Australia.
Pulled by a Baldwin the 214ft airseeder plants a hectare a minute.
This paddock was last sown in 2016 and has been fallowed since due to drought and lack of stored soil moisture. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Brilliant! that field must be nearly as big as England to make that set up pay. Great video, very well made and for a change I don't mind the music. Top marks.
DingleZilla looks like Australia so probably about right haha.
Greasing that thing must be a nightmare
EU4 Boy7 driving that thing would be a nightmare
@@andrewlund5399 driving it not so much. you get used to it and i think ur not realizing they are in a very open space. not like they are taking this to town or in traffic. i would like to see how they move it. my biggest fear is changing all the points when they wear out lol.
NOO NOPE they fold it in the Long bar from the traktor and out to the seeder
you not not talking tubes per day but cases per day. lol. bring a milwaukee with at lest 2 9.0 ah batteries.
My uncle's farm installed automatic systems on their big gear. You pretty much just press the button every few hours and keep the tub full of grease.
Bet the guys at welker farms would like to cover that much area this quickly.
I bet anyone would lol
With only 600HP pulling, it wouldn't go very fast in their soil conditions. To make that unit productive in US soil conditions, you'd need at least 1,000 HP. Even then, it is only 500HP per 100' of seeder. That soil looks really light and dried out. Easy to pull there.
And Welker doesn't actually farm that much land.
@@SomeTechGuy666 it acctually looks like it might have been re-engined, all the other photos I've seen of a DP600 look shorter in the nose and have a single stack, and from what I'm reading on forums and news articles he's been running tandem master/slave JD9T's since 2011, and the baldwin is retired
@@cleetusmacfarland9453 He actually retired the John Deere 9400t's for now and it looks like he re-powered the Baldwin. Perhaps with a QST30 Cummins? Not exactly sure but twin stacks and air cleaners tells me V12.
Welkers do not farm much when considering there are farms in the US and Canada that produce over 50,000 acres. Welkers produce what? 5,000 acres? which is average for their area.
Dont know if I should feel more impressed by the planter or the inmese field in the background.
it's not a field it's a paddock .[aussie dryland .you can have "field " for irrigation ] and i love being pedantic . we do love the yanks but don't want to be totally swamped by their cultural imperialism .
- farmer: oké so I have this really big seeder and i need an air cart to go with it.
- dealer: gow about this one? this is our largest air cart.
- farmer: looks good I'll take two.
jij ook nederlands?
@@nordins157 hoi
😂🤣💥
Moi
That would cover all my acres in one pass haha
You know a seeder is huge when it has TWO aircarts
The people repenting my neighbours land run double carts so they can put fertilizer down too. Things loud af sounds like a bomb siren
But the cards are relativly smal tho
@@danielleheiget4517 p
This is how you feed the world ☺ thank god for farmers!!!
Holy crap! You would have to be an artist to drive that thing. Going around the tree was cool as heyell.
Autosteer sure does help. Lol
😀 Fair play - the scale of that set up is awesome! 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing this! I have searched and searched for info about this seeder since your last vid.
One of my father in law’s tractors....Baldwin DP 600....built in 1970s.....
I remember seeing Baldwin on the prince Phillip design awards; an adjunct to the series, THE INVENTORS on ABC and man they really are tractors. One bloke at Moura had six. I'd like to know what other history you have on the iconic company. There's also Waltana; that built robust AUSTRALIAN 4wd tractors and Upton that finished with huge hp 2wd tractors. All mostly killed by stupid import tariffs. There's a real story here that needs telling.
Really appreciate you shareing your drone footage m8 well done..credit to you
We need this in fs 19!
It already is
@@mikey9710 really? for console or pc only?
Pc only
And 17 for gamers like me!
@@felixolauzzon it's in 17 as well but again it's for PC only :)
We just bought brand new six row corn planter and I thought it was insane how you can plant so accurately at 20 km/h and then I saw this video...
Nice work Casey! great to see enough moisture around to get planting around the place!
Thanks Dale, Still very patchy around the place but better than nothing!
@@TarrawingeeFarm if I was smart I could work out 214 ft to 1 hectare per minute to work out ground speed. But it's a lot easier just to ask. What is your ground speed? By the way I must have watched the other zells air seeder video 10 times. It blows my mind.
@@paulvalkenburg100 Have to be 7 mph to get 1 Ha/minute
@@paulvalkenburg100 9.25km/hr it works out to be.
@@Lordy29 cheers 👍
You could cover an area the size of Rosie o Donnell in a little under a month, if you ran twenty four hours a day. And eat on the run. Oh, and urinate while the gps is driving. Almost forgot.... You gotta refuel on the go too.
bobby harvill what about Amy Schumer?
Think that up all by yourself or did ya?
That’s funny I don’t care who you are lol
You don't do that when your planting?
Maybe fuel it on the move like the Air Force does it’s Fighters but with a tanker’copter
Awesome machinery! I love the soaring music!!
That planter has it's own area code!!!
Row cropping sure has com a long way since I was a kid!
This is not a row crop. Or a planter. It's a air drill for small grains etc.
As an Aussie , they are called Air Seeders , and if it wasn't for guidance , there would be plenty of character
When I said row cropping I meant that the crop is in rows, I wasn’t referring to the planter/air drill. I also meant that farming equipment has changed a lot. That’s just what we call that type of farming around where I live. Air drills weren’t around when I was a kid. Thanks for your comment. The biggest planter I ever used was a 12 row. The biggest disk I ever pulled was 23 foot.
Great video, used to drive past a few times a year. If it were me I'd be filling with 2 trucks at once ✌🏼
How does it turn at the end of the row? If your field goes around the world the you dont need to turn.
Curious if this unit has swath control.
That was breathtaking to see, amazing. I really liked the song aswell, what is the title and artist? Thanks!
Song for Michael - Magic In The Other
Welcome back
I was like “it can’t be that big”
And then I saw the two carts it needed
That machine must be a pain to turn around in. Nice video
Nice work👍great video.
I WANT A VIDEO ON HOW THIS THING FOLDS FOR TRANSPORT PLEASE
REALLY WONDERING dammit my caps was on sorry....greatly appreciated if i can get a fold up transport video
LOVE THIS
I SUBCRIBED N DINGED BELL FOR NEW VIDS ...again why does my caps still.........
When can we expect this on farming simulator
it is dont comment unlese you check first

@@user-cx4dt2jh9f that's FS17 where up to FS19 now.
I worked on two farms in Moree. One owned by Jack Young, Koroogamma, and the other his neighbour John Seery. 1990 / 91.
Wasn't sure if that was Swanhill way or between st George an Moree. That lovely black clay. My wallet says that country looks best with hoggets an beef covering it.
@@brucerae5522 I believe Collarenebri
Big Monster very nice Video Greets Marko (Germany)
Nice video! How can you tell when the lines get plugged?
Blockage monitors. We use dicky John ones on ours.
How many acres can u go over before refilling again
How many acres do you guys do a season
What is the name of this amazing soundtrack?
Great footage but I have to ask, what happened to the two John Deere tractors that were first used with this seeder?
got tagged in detroit diesel blue, then set on fire!
How many rows does it plant at a time?
C est beau de la folie tank you vidéo magnifique super
That’s a bunch of big time farming equipment.
Cool video, some really nice power equipment. But the music turned me off, really like to hear the tillage.
How many ha do you run in total and how much is each paddock
Henry A 90k
Any drone footage of this vast field growing? Harvesting? Thanks for posting!
Do you have many tube plug ups? How can one man watch that many tubes!? Co-pilot?
Hopefully some of the predicted June falls hits your way.
How large is the field? What's the HP on the Baldwin. They are cool looking tractors but you don't see them stateside very often.
The tractor is a Baldwin 600, so unless they have modified it around 600hp.
That tractor has a D12 engine in it running over 770 horses in her
What make is it? Big Bud??
@@brianpalenske695 Baldwin
I can see the future and it includes seed hoppers that are lifted off and on the planter via a crane truck. No more dumping from a trailer into an auger to move the seed. The seed hoppers already exist. Simply need to marry them with the seed tender on the planter.
That seems like a lot more work than using a auger or conveyor to load the hoppers on flex drills like these
Um no… that’s for very special seed types(lentils being one) dumping in with auger faster always will be
Details? Like how evenly does the product go down, how much product, seeding depth, how many acres per fill, turning it around in headlands, hydraulics to lift and lower (flow?), do you pull it in anything but dry sandy soil, how big are the carts? Etc etc. Cool to watch but the detailed info would be interesting.
Sure would. The Balwin tractor must have sat nav fitted to control accurate bout width matching. Driver is way too far away to see the end of the machine. In addition to the volume of oil flow required to lift the unit, the volume of air for those two seeder hoppers must also be pretty substantial. As big as the tractor is, it's certainly got its work cut out.
Would be interesting to find out how an empty hopper or blocked distribution head is flagged up to the driver.
What no nh3 nurse wagon ?
Looks like the Big Bud from Farming Simulator 19 :)
Fun fact, Big bud is actually a series of real tractors made since 1968 by the Northern Manufacturing Company in America. The one in the video is made by the company Baldwin Engineering. They made these tractors from 1979 to 1990. While very similar to the Big Buds there were not as powerful or big.
@@PvtHaggard which is weird seeing as farms in america are a lot smaller
@@brocksinclair66 There are many large farms here, but most of the time big equipment is used A) Because we can (we don't have width restrictions here either) and B) Planting or tillage windows. Many, many prarie monster articulating tractors were born here and several brands started when some farmers built homemade machines, just like they did down under.
When small farmer as me see this we cant even comprehend the size of feeds and equipment . The logistic in planting must be big ?
How do you fold that baby up to fit in the garage, even to transport it from farm to field
Must be a nightmare with 2 carts aye
Michael C it’s all hydraulic sir. No farms no food. Let me work let me live.
curious how does it breakdown for transport no way you can bend that around and corner at an intersection if you went side ways
I believe they tow it from the side with a smaller drawbar
Kyle Dombrowski no sir. It folds up. All hydraulic. No farms no food. Let me work let me live.
Love to know if that's a two piece planter and how It folds up my god is that fn huge
Do you have a picture of this airseeder folded?
This machine not designed to be folded . Dismantled a little , and end towed
That Baldwin looks cool, can you back up with that airseeder?
You should know pretty well where are you driving with these kind of equipment. You don't wanna say, whoops, i shouldn't drive to here... 😄
This is really cool but how do u move that between fields or does the planter setup just live in that feild
BaconIsaVegtable !!!!!!! I can’t imagine a way it could fold up
John Kurtz it’s folds up sir. No farms no food. Thanks for watching. Let me work let me live
X Recon usmc it doesn’t fold up, they tow it with a drawbar connected to the side
I would like to know the story behind this seeder and tractor. Very unique
tractors.fandom.com/wiki/Baldwin
I can tell you what I know. The air seeders are simplicity. The planter is a multi farming systems (Banana farming) frame but I'm not sure what row units.
@@bradconway5611 looks like jankee tynes/presswheels
It looks like moondust. No vegetation no nothing just very light pulverized soil.Wind storms and heavy rains must be a nightmare
@@billrobertson1507
Bill this paddock/field has been in fallow ready for cropping. It's a common practice to have your paddock weed free, and even ploughed in the spring so it's ready to go for Autumn sowing.
Finalmente um video
Talk about nice Equipment there
What's the seed spacing on this? 8 inches?
That’s a big tractor to. It takes equipment that big and bigger to farm them huge farms.
Is the Baldwin shifted? Like 600hp looks too weak for that size seeder, or am I wrong?
Its probably running 1000hp or so
it is really an impressive machine I am going to Australia by 2020 is in possible to get out and see it in action ????
Yes,go into the W.A. wheatbelt and ask around
Its near moree nsw not in WA
Not in WA its at Moree west of narrabri
What’s it like operating one of those?
well with rows that long and a planter that wide every round you make has got to be 40 acres.
How is it transported
Haw did you get the thing
Must be so easy farming flat ground
not so much with years of drought
Except for trees, can't see them lasting.?
Takes a lot of skill to maneuver that big bastard
I wonder how many acres do they Farm got to be a bunch
this seeder plants how many acres per hour?
Anybody know what engine is in that thing ?
Great video!Music?
Can anybody tell me what engine this tractor was re-powered with? Is it a Cummins QST30 V12? I know the original 19 liter Cummins was removed.
Cummins KTA 1150
@@timothylessing4774 So if they still had the KTA 1150 why do they have 2 air cleaners and 2 exhaust stacks? Plus KTA's don't put out enough to pull that rig properly unless they are turned up to 750 which drastically shortens their life in severe service applications. Are you positive it is a KTA yet?
Is the seeder run just by the tractor hydraulics?
Most airseeder are powerd by hydraulic. The tractors have hydraulic pumps that pump oil to the fans in the seed carts that then blow the metered seed and fertilizer down the hoses. Metering of the seed a d fertilizer is of done by electronic motors that can be varied the metering rate on the go. Lower end machines often have mechanical drive metering which is calibrated at the start and then left, it's a very reliable system but doesn't allow for variable rate seeding.
Some say he is still going straight, that's how big Australia is.
That's insane 😃👍
how long is that seeder?
How many rows does that plant at once I wonder????
400 plus
It would suck if the corn prices dropped and he didn't even break even. Damn talk about suspense on that tractor and seeder. I wonder how much it cost to fill each tank with seed and how many tanks he uses to finish
I like the Baldwin 600 and the seeder..
how many acres a hour does it do
So do they just call bigbuds Baldwin’s over there or was it built by a different company?
Dane Pittman baldwin is a similar sort of thing to a big bud in the sence that it just started with a bloke who wanted some high horsepower iron so he built one and it grew from there
Big bud shouldn't really be in the description as it may confuse some. Baldwin was just an Australian built tractor, I'm pretty sure Baldwin was mostly involved in earthmoving gear, but did build tractors for a time while there was a demand for large powerful tractors that big brand names didn't build. Other Australian built tractors built in similar Times was Waltanna an Upton.
Great video. That tractor has been really looked after or very well restored to look like that. Also GPS wasn’t around then so a few upgrades too.
Baldwin was (or is?) a railway engine manufacturer so they had experience with building heavy machinery. In the late 1970’s & 80’s large scale farming in Australia expanded and there was a need for big horsepower tractors and big equipment. They weren’t available from the usual brands at machinery dealers then.
At the time blade plowing was one of the methods used and required heavy duty high horsepower tractors.
I don’t know the numbers but there wouldn’t have been many of these built. I remember seeing a Baldwin on display at Ag-Quip near Gunnedah in the 80’s.
@@landlifem5872 And 'Aussie Farmer's' like a few other's in certain Countries 'don't receive any Government subsidies' so do to if correct are our farm equipment manufactures,.between the disastrous drought years of recently its a fight for their survival in regional Australia.
bom dia, ele está plantando trigo? ou alguma forrageira? é uma área de pastagem ou de cultura de grãos?
Wheat grain
who built this set up for you?
Team question? Pub Trivia - can someone tell me how much the entire seeder unit cost?? (total) l am not an expert on the terminology so appreciate any feedback. Cheers
How big is the field where the airseeder drove on?
Fucking big!!!
Markus Wiedenmann 17,000 acres. No farms no food. Let me work let me live
how do you fold it up
Wow awesome 👍👍👍👍
How many acres would a farm have to need for a 214FT seeder
At 10km/hr would be doing 65Ha/hr or 160acres/hr. 2.66 acres a minute.
whats being planted?
Grain
I’m scared to ask but now much was it
What's with the music? Would be nice if you talked about the machines being used.
I’ve been for a drive in that thing
Can anyone answer a question for me. Why not take out the single tree in the middle of the field?
Illegal
@@lynwessel2471 amazing one tree in 1000 hectares Thanks for the answer
So if that's the seeder, what's the combine look like?
As far as I know the biggest combine is capable of a 45ft Draper Header.
@@getriebesand2195 I heard some company is trying to make a 60 foot but that's the biggest I know of
How many acres can you plant in a day?
2773.71 Acres bud
I really would like to know the name of the song?
looks comparable to the big bud 747 ???
Where is this
I really want to know how they made the John Deere Starfire GPS system work in this old tractor.
A 12 volt power supply, and a hydraulic power source, and voilà!, you can have GreenStar guidance, documentation, and implement control! It looks like an itc receiver on this tractor, so it might have StarFire 2 components..
Actually, just a 12 volt power source will put you on the fast-track to guidance!
Quite simply, using a standard universal loom, an ATU steering unit, a screen and a receiver from JD. Would be my guess. I fitted one to an old 935 versatile about 10 years ago. Just had to make a custom stabilizer bracket and splined insert for the ATU unit to fit onto the OME steering column.
I also used the same system in a Ford 9000 Louisville truck that I have under a broadcaster. Same deal with the ATU mounting, had to make my own fitment components as it was never intended to go in anything other than a JD.. But hey if you have a piece of metal and a little imagination anything is possible
