From a trucker to all the farmers and ranchers out there, Thank you for all the hard work you guys and gals put in. You're awesome!!
So nice to see dry soil, we are drowning here in Northeast Ohio/ Western Pennsylvania! .....Great video👍
Iowa looks like the luckyest this year..but it aint over yet!
With this year I think every second saved is a dollar in hand, awesome to see some farmers adding more technology to help out. What most people commenting don't and will not understand is seconds add up to minutes, minutes add up to hours and hours add up to dollars! great video Mike!
Nice video.Very interesting new stuff. No need to wonder why young farmers can't get started. Some guys want to do it all.
Thats exactly what i think every single time i read comments about guys saying starting farming is out of reach bla bla bla. Its like NO ya dummy! You dont go down to the new equipment dealer and add up the cost of equipment! 🤦♂️ Like shit! Of course they think its out of reach when you do thaaat! 🙄 We have all older equipment except one later model combine. Its the only thing with a payment. Bought our big ag chem sprayer for 8k. Our TR 98 combine for 14k. A 4 wheel drive tractor for 20k. All your implements you can get pretty cheap on farm auctions. And you dont even need that big stuff when you start out so that makes it cheaper yet! Just learn to fix stuff! Lol
I live in the area and never saw anything like this before but then again i am busy on our own farm and dont have time to drive around and see what others are doing nice video and keep up the good work
Cool video. You are dragging your transport safety chain. I would be interested to watch you do this with a gokart in South Georgia with our irrigation ruts and washes. Also, enjoy farming that Ice Cream dirt. Our red soil gets like concrete over the winter. It has to at least be ripped under the row.
I'd be crackin Top Gun jokes/lines on the radio the whole time... "Goose to Maverick, closing on your six at 12mph, keep er steady, im bout to pump ya full of grow juice...." it would get stupid real fast...
Im supersonic and will be there in 30 seconds
Agreed, this ended up being me thinking of Top Gun jokes for 8 minutes. "Just a drive in the field, Kazansky" 😂
“You’re gonna do what!?!?”
Cool Video farmers like their toys and that is just dandy. It reminds me of when grandpa thought it was weird to unload the combine on the move but that is common now so this will be too in 2 to 5 years.
Nah it won’t that gator right there would cost so much most farmers aren’t worried about stopping this is insanely expensive, where as a grain cart doesn’t cost much and it’s very practical
Great video Mike
I love the John Deere gator feeds the John Deere planter. Really cool.
Im no farmer but I love learning about it. And I had no idea anyone filled thier planters on the go... Awesome!
Now I've seen everything.
Top Gun meets farming! That is awesome!
Just make sure it's a vehicle you don't mind being covered in liquid fertilizer.
It’s amazing what the big farmers do to get all the work done as quickly as possible.
SALUDOS..!! SALUDOS..!!
FROM : NEW YORK..
" THE BRONX "..
Hard to believe that little gator can push that big planter and tractor lol,cool video thanks for sharing ,I’ve never seen that,wet here too
Dam now that's planting on the go none stop
Awesome for contractors,no down time.
In most planting seasons i would say this is a waste but with the weather this year? If this allows them to get another 50 acres a day planted it could be the difference between getting it all in before the insurance cut off, switching to beans or doing preventative plant.
Wow, 😮 Mike great video! Watching this was like mid-air refueling.
Same thing i was thinking.
I’ve heard of unloading on the go. Now we have loading on the go! 🤯
Now they just need to figure out how to do this with the seed!
You could blow it in relatively easily
That approach from behind brings up some many mental pictures......
Rafael Ramirez I'll take you from behind big fella hahaha.
Wow that's a wild new contraption to fill saddle tanks.
It's filling the center planter tank
Farming just doesn't look as much fun anymore. Too many gadgets. When I was a kid it was hard work but had a laid back feeling to it.
We are still out there farming without all the gadgets.
@@clintonirlbeck9865 I haven't done any farming since I was 18 years old. That was 40 years ago. I've loved what I've done for a career but have often looked back fondly on my years farming. I'm glad to hear the smaller farms aren't getting pushed out.
I like the 'no till' planting. Keeps the soil where it belongs.
But then that leaves no time for a pee brake?
The question I would have is, how much do they pay the guy keeping the planter full or what work is he sacrificing to chase the planter around? If he would just be waiting in the truck anyway then good idea, but if this means you have to stop a different job or hire someone else then the cost adds up quick. The contraption is one time cost which might cost plenty but you add another monthly/yearly wage plus benefits yikes!
That's what your kids are for!
That's really awsome to see. I saw the pictures on instagram and was wating to see it in action good idea. We're finished corn on june 17th in central illinos it looks like we all get snowy corn harvest this year
Better buy propane now then. They will jack the price of propane in November, because they know you have no choice but to buy it.
R. B.1994 why would you plant corn that late? Why not plant beans?
the weather conditions in in illinois was very bad till mid may. We are actually startet very lade. And of course we are finished corn before the beans
Nice video. Well done!
First 😁. Awesome video.
Thats very cool to watch, cant wait to see more
It just seems overly complicated and expensive, i assumed they costed out just pulling a 2k gal liquid tank on Camoplasts behind like an Air Seeder?
PIPER DOUG I’m sure they did but I think they are also comparing compaction problems from all the weight of a 2k gal tag or saddles on the tractor
@Mr Sunshines would take one to know one
Wow! Just like the Air Force. Mid air refueling...
Mid field refueling 🤣👌
Only backwards. This would be like the fighter refueling the tanker.
Don't stop.. Unload on the go has now transfered to planting.
In the Air Force we called that in-flight refueling.
As a guy who grew up on a farm in the 80s and 90s its hard for me to understand the dollars and time spent on this type of thing. Same goes for 400hp tractors running around with 1000+ bushel grain carts. We would drive grain trucks in the field for high yield crops, and just plan our combine rounds for dumping full, never turning off the harvester. Efficiency comes at a hefty cost and I wonder if it's paying off. During seeding and harvest time is crucial. Its just so much money. But perhaps we're looking at leases rather than ownership. Farmers are some kind of inventors though. There will always be someone willing to try new things. Margins are thin.
I drive grain cart for the JD out fit I work for and my unit I run is a 9510RT with a 2000 bushel twin track grain cart. We have six JD combines and one 1000 bushel grain cart the little cart takes care of two combines I keep the other four going. Very seldom do our combines stop its all about timing. I grew up in the 90s my grandfather ran a 7721 pull type JD behind a 4650 2wd JD and also had a co-op combine and just a couple of three ton grain trucks. I'm 28 now and I just can't believe how big farming has got we get retired nabours to drive combines for us and they get blown away when I take all four combines and sometimes my lead once more before I go dump and I'm able to fill a B-train and part of a tridem. Hard to believe only about 20 years ago a 7721 pull type was still a decent sized combine a legend at that now it's tiny in today's world of farming but in my opinion probably the best combine ever built.
Wouldn't it be less complicated to put flotation tires on a tank trailer and pull it behind the planter?
I agree Mike their just lookin 4 trouble
That MR Greg Sauder is one heck of a salesman. Great concept' but does the cost offset the loss from compaction. I'm sure he has come up with trials that show it does. Do not base your farming operation plans off of the 2019 planting year.
This is where fighter pilots come to start their aerial refueling qualification 😂
I have hauled fertilizer before I don't think I would be happy if I had to wait for somebody to unload my truck 300 gallons at a time
Wow. Definitely has to save an hour or two by days end
I bet they can plant a couple hundred acres a day more, great thinking. American farmers are some of the smartest hard working people. when people want to learn how to farm they come to the usa and take notes
Awesome video
At the cost of the additional equipment needed for this setup is it not cheaper to just go with an air drill set up with a towable seed tank
Mr Sunshines 😂
Great vid Mike 👍
Looks messy and look how much is spraying all over the gator
Yep, not a perfect leak free system.
I will openly admit to not being a farmer, but unless you're running from a rain storm, does stopping to fill the tanks really take away from your day to justify this cost? As I've mentioned, I've never farmed list this, but seems like the operator would enjoy a few minutes to hit the bushes, grab a drink and stretch the legs for a few minutes.
Not to mention the inevitable coffee recycling stops! :)
Guys claim an extra 200 acres a day by not stopping. That's a pile of ground
Looks good 🚜🌽👍
If you never stop how does the tractor driver go to the bathroom, my 8400 has a refrigerator but no toilet, does the rt come with a toilet? Just curious.
Auto steer..... You just step out of the cab and go.
Yes it does. It is an empty water bottle. A little tricky to take a dump in though.
Please tell me about that Gator. I haven’t seen a 6x6 XUV before. Very cool
It’s customized I don’t think this is practical that gator would cost at least 100k
Leaking so bad that he has to run the wipers to see. I hope the Gator gets washed down every load or it's going to be a rust bucket.
Thats was one little mishap.
It's a tax write-off.
Im just trying to figure out whos flying the drone! Sometimes you hear the tractor and Sometimes you hear the chains on the planter! Sometimes it sounds like theyre passing by the drone pilot but hes not out standing in the view by them! 🤔 I know the drone doesn't have the microphone because all youd hear were the propellers.. But that is pretty cool. Id like to see that connector how it locks on by pushing. And how it releases. I didn't know corn was ever planted in 20 inch rows! Oh and whats the fertilizer mix youre using and gallons per acre and all that? Im planting some for the second time here in kansas. First time using liquid.
Time is money, a couple 3 or 4 fill ups in a day and you have spent well over an hour. Multiply that out over the amount of planting days. Not to mention it seems like we lose a couple days every year from the previous year.
are them pontoons on the front??? That would be a good idea this year..
Awesome set up ! Note to self never buy that gator used ! 😳
Wow Mike I have not seen that before it is great idea. it's like a plan refuelling mid air Lol that is awesome great stuff Mike
What could go wrong?
Me i am a very graet versatile tractor fan mike
How much time does it truly save vs the Cost $$ ??
Saved us over 4hrs per day and in an already extremely short window this system was a life saver
Austin Olson ... hey thanks, I can appreciate your situation. 4 hrs is a lot of valuable time. But how much is the system?
@@jdlewis5951 $20k but at $140/hr operating cost on the tractor and all the other costs of operating per hour it all adds up fast...I'm by no means saying it's for every operation but it does fit ours quite well
Austin Olson hey Austin, thank you for the info I appreciate it, definitely something to think about , I can see the value on very large sections of land. Some cool forward thinking!
The saddle tanks on the tracked tractor would have less psi on the ground then the gators running across the field. The thing is the tanks on the tractor really need to be centered on the tractor and not hanging off the front. Also for the price of this outfit you could make a center track for the front of the tractor than could be lowered to the ground after you turn around to lower compaction.
That’s pretty cool!!
I guess they're not worried about the Gator driving over the seeded area.
Doesn't seem to affect anything really
How damn much corn are they planting to make this necessary
tens of millions of acres.
@@warlordplisken9605 farmer in the video only few thousand I know them
@@user-A244F I'm talking about the entire nation. Why does everyone in the USA think the entire world is just what they see in front of their faces?
If there were not millions of acres of farmland, the factories wouldn't make such devices, and everyone would still be using horses to sow the seed.
How much does corn for seed cost? Plus, what is the yearly operating expenses of a farm that size? You know, things like property taxes, electric bill, equipment loan payments, the whole shabang.
I just did the math. Based on the last USDA crop yield predictions, 5,000 acres has a max potential of netting $4.15 million, assuming $5/BU.
I'm guessing after bank loans and yearly expenses, there isn't a whole lot left from the gross sales.
@@warlordplisken9605 I find this highly ridiculous...
@@davehughesfarm7983 What part do you find ridiculous? The part where farmers are planting millions of acres of corn and soy, a month late, into mud? Or the part where the USA has no strategic grain reserves, because they were sold off in 2008?
Maybe the ridiculous part is that seed for cover crops is running low, because of all the PP acres this year.
If just 1 major nation, such as Brazil, decides to not sell the USA grains this winter, we will have a famine. Is that the ridiculous part? Or maybe it is the fact that farmers are blowing out their brains twice as often as veterans.
The USA is setting itself up for a winter famine that can potentially kill hundreds of thousands of USA civilians. Farmers are already committing suicide faster than homeless veterans.
This is a national crises. It isn't funny one iota.
Looks like a machine gun on the front of that Gator. 😂. Nice video
It doesn’t
Kent Nauman some people just can’t help themselves.
Looks like they waste fertilizer. Great idea but it’s all over the gator then trying to use the windshield wiper on the process. Must not be connecting properly
What an awesome slick way to increase production.
For everyone saying it's a waste, it must have some sort of time benefit, because us farmers aren't going to spend thousands on something useless, there must be an added 50 acres a day from this.
Also a good chance they farm too much ground and cash rented land out from under their own neighbors... God dont like it...
The gator I want to know more about it where did you get a 6wheel 865m
Pretty sure it's custom.
Whats next? Drones air dropping bags of corn seed on the planter? LOL
They plant soybeans by airplane
@@cityamish1 very few farmers plant beans with a helicopter
some use 8 blade drones they carry 15 kg of load
This is better than Top Gun
This is some serious next level shit
Gator needs a sign "Hell Yes I"m Pushin".
Do they just not have the ability to carry enough fertilizer on the tractor with them? Why not just fill when you fill seed?
Planter holds 80ish units of corn that's enough for 188 acres roughly at 34,000 seeds per acre. He can carry probably around 1000 gallons of liquid fert. but 500 of that capacity is probably pop up so 500-600 gallons for 2x2 at 15 gal per acre is only around 36 arces.
@@33jcut ah thanks! sorry I'm just not a corn guy. This just seems to be a lot of extra work, especially considering that there is already a hitch in the back end I imagine for pulling a liquid cart. But I would imagine they've done the research as to which is better. I'll just enjoy the inflight refueling video lol
@@joelenfesty3034 compaction issues with pull behind carts. Especially in no till operations. Also maneuverability becomes an issue when to prevent weed growth and maximize acres you are backing into corners and the planter needs to get all the way to the edge
Thanks Mike
I wonder do they fill the fuel tank on the tractor the same way? Air to air refueling...
Is it worth getting Starter all over the Gator?
That is very cool!!
360 Looked at the in air refuel plains decided. “Fuck yeah that’s what we’ll do”
To everyone who thinks this is ridiculous. Not too long ago unloading the combine while moving was a new idea.
The AG. weather forecast for the corn belt for 2019 is looking pretty grim, knee high by the 4th of july will be a joke.. last year it was chest high by late june in some countys..
allen schmitz last year my cousin has a farm. One field is split and the other is the farmers next door. Same seed planted 2 weeks different. The other farmers corn was planted 2 weeks earlier. There was some cold nights and days. He waited to plant. and by fourth of July his corn was at his eyes he's 6'5 the other half of the field was just under knee height. It's amazing what cold weather does to the strenght of the seed. I have pictures and it looks unbelievable.
Can anyone say midair refueling?
Now just need one to load seed on the go. Cool stuff
I noticed that this planter doesn't have the extended disc that puts a mark in the ground for the driver knows where to ride so as not to overlap the rows on the return trip so how does the driver know?
sam aikens gps I would say
That's so cool!!!!
Nice so it takes 2 guys to plant. 300 ain’t enuff. We use a tandem and a planter and it does not take 2 ppl.
Use what you got? Farmers in general are pretty smart and if you see one doing things that don't seem efficient there is usually a story behind it. Now am I right about that Farmer Thumb?
You are too big when you can't stop to refill for a couple minutes...
I should think with a planter that big they could sure stop to fill.
You step back 15 years ago and the same thing could have been said for unloading corn/beans on the go from the combine to grain carts.
You got to stop to take a whiz anyway.
@Mr Sunshines I only have to refill every two hours.
@@chadengemann8237 You're going to have to go back a few more years than that. My father was unloading on the go in the 60's. Drove bobtail beside combine before carts were used.
First time in my life I see this. Rec fuel on the field ..!! GOOD..
Anybody else notice the drag chain on row 1?
That is a great innovation. Now they need to develop a way to pump seed into the planter. Then we can plant until the tractor needs diesel.
If it's not green it's not to be seen yall it is what it is yall the jd man 😁🤗😉
Like inflight refueling
Do they call that thing a stinger on the front of the gator?
Hell of a deal
Like mid air refueling on fighter jets.
Lol
jaki jest rozstaw miedzyrzedzi?
u nas sie sieje przewaznie co 75
Yeah... The planter is so huge that there isn't a runway big enough for it to land for 5-10 minutes for refilling.
Mike thanks for the video Curious on how much a little fuel refueling Center cost for fertilizer
when i first saw Yeild 360 introduce this in there winter conference I thought it was an early April fools joke. Interesting to see it in action, but still think its one of the dumbest ideas I've seen in modern time. You still have to stop to fill for seed. Most farmers are using 2" lines and pump to fill 28% on the planter if you want to speed it up upgrade to 3" that would be way cheaper than buying a separate 6x6 gator and lining Gregg Sauders pockets with more money.
So cool!
