  • Working up a Snow Covered Field - In this video I am out in the field with a John Deere 9420R tractor pulling a 25 foot wide Versatile Fury high speed disk. The field in this video had winter wheat on it which was harvested back in June then after harvest the field was seeded with a cover crop mix of oats and sunflowers. It started snowing on this morning and we were curious how this would all work up in the snow.

    I love tillage in light snow. Makes an excellent contrast to watch. If it was cold enough that the snow wasn't melting right away, it wasn't going to overheat that engine. I can't see how that is much different than a semi tractor running down the highway hauling a full load with the wind screens over the radiator either fully or partially closed.

    Great video, please ignore the know-nothing naysayers. As any true operator knows, the snow on the grill would act no differently than intentionally adding a winterfront to any Kenworth or any tractor radiator, something often common during the coldest months of the year here in Alberta.
