My father adored the fall plowing season and just loved looking back at that dark, rich soil going to rest after a long harvest season. And it was moldboard all the way. Great memories of what that looked like.
Nothing beats the smell of a freshly turned field. My grandparents had a farm in Michigan and no one outside of that state believes or understands me when I tell them how sweet that dirt smelled. Plowing was satisfying but harvest and bailing were my personal favorites.
I grew up working a farm in central Indiana. Mostly driving a 1980 John Deere 4440, either pulling a grain cart in the fall or plowing. It could only pull a 4 bottom plow but it would pull it well and all day long. My favorite job on the farm too. It had a front loader attachment and when I plucked a rock out of the ground, I would put it into the bucket and dump in the fence line each pass. What I discovered was the more weight was in that bucket, the better it would pull. So I just left them. When I shut that thing off at night the exhaust manifold was glowing bright red. Great memories. How can a kid grow up without that kind of experience? lol
back in the 80's, pulled 12-18's with a Steiger Panther. Loved plowing....and of course the combine. Now we no-till, some chisel plow, and speed- till. Miss moldboard plowing.
As you are organic and not using herbicides shouldn't the plow bury all of the weeds to kill them? There looks to be a lot of weed on the surface to re grow.
Reflecting on the past when the University of Illinois conducted their study, it's fascinating to learn that moldboarding can increase yields by up to 20%. Disking, unless it's a deep cross-cut disk, seems ineffective. The key was going 14 inches deep with moldboarding, often with older equipment like the JD730. Regularly turning plant matter into humus was crucial for enriching the soil. It's incredible how these techniques, rooted in tradition, continue to shape modern agriculture and our understanding of soil health.
More than half of me wishes I could be/was a farmer. Thanks so much for the descriptions and details, very helpful. Also one of the only places I've seen details on the actual tractor screens and operations. I've played SO MUCH farming sim and never sat in any of these magnificent machines, only dreamt of it. Keep up the good work!
Back in the day when the university of Illinois did their study you can average 20% better yield by moldboarding, discking is a useless implement unless it's a deep cross cut disk. But you should get 14inches deep on moldboarding, but back in the day it was a jd730 twisted up smoker and a 3 bottom rollover every year,you have to get the plant matter down to turn into humous, that is how you build your soil.
14 inches? South Dakota State University did a 30 year study comparing yields to plowing depth and found moldboard plowing at a depth of 4 to 6 inches produced the highest yields.
That's just one of those one in a million deals Ethan. Thats no one's fault. I love your videos because they're about real situations that make up real life on the family farm.❤
I ran a plow just like that behind a quad . 400 acres tops then time for new shoes . Was an awesome run did 1800 acres that year for peanuts. Very much enjoyed that
Thanks for the video. You'd do the plowing in a shorter period of time if you had a roll-over plow with less time spent on the headlands.@@FehrsFarmingOrganic It would be a good winter project building one.
We quit plowing slowly but surely here on the balkans...before we had rainfall sufficient enough for good crops last 6-7 years severe drought and we started subsoiling in the last 3 years and the result are visible we harvest more than on plowed ground!
Growing up In western Oklahoma I loved Plowing with the Steiger Tiger. I have built many a terrace with it. Plowing is great for turning the soil especially if you have cover that you want to turn into compost. We didn't do that alot in Oklahoma do to the weather and blowing wind.
Wow. Tomorrow you can try my jd 6030 hooked up to a 5 bottom ih 720 plow. Certified through oregon tilth for 7 years so I understand what you're doing just on a different scale. Cool video.
Love hearing the engine in that tractor under load. Where I am from, we mostly pull big air seeders with those tractors. Zero till is the way we go because it is too dry to do tillage like this.
I totally understand your passion for moldboard plowing. It is a task I miss a lot it was 25 years ago since last time. Especially opening and closing the fields setting the plow so that all residue is turned down. My team was a Ford 9700 and an Överum 6 furrow plow😢
just stumbled across you and.great informative vid, especially with so many processed foods thats poisoning us now a days. this guys is not suicidal, he will never kill himself.
How many bodies is this plough? 13? 14? My goodness. I come from an agricultural country in Europe where a 10 furrow plough is considered big. Great job guys!
we europeans still do a lot of ploughing, when you said that ''it looks nice and even'' i laughed my butt off :D hehe, there is much to learn for you my boy
Yeah 😂 I looked at the rows and thought wy is there anything green above the ground...... And the back tail of the plough is seemly too shallow When we plow there is not a single green plant to see.
Americans aren’t fussy like us lot, as long as it looks like theve moved the dirt that’ll do, as for moving on with using a reversible, nope, they don’t do that full stop, just different that’s all.
That would be something! Always makes me feel thankful reading comments like this and helps me realize how far along farming and big machinery has came… thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed.
Just looking at the furrow you're leaving, why isn't it a nice clean cut furrow without dirt falling back in. In my days of plowing we were going down 10-12 inches and it left a satisfying clean furrow. A lot of plowing videos I watch, they aren't going very deep and seem to always leave a dirty furrow. But I have to agree, plowing is satisfying and fun to utilize all the power the tractor has. Amazing how little its done now, probably due to the need to reduce costs .. .tractor wear and tear and fuel costs. Its weird to see planting into no-till fields. Enjoyed the video just the same.
Organic approved N is not synthetic and should be applied in a stable form so it doesn’t leach or contaminate the crop with bacteria. Nice Canadian plow👍🏻
Plough needs skimmers infrastructure of each mouldboard to bury grass /weeds/stubble Also cutters to cut infrastructure of mouldboard and u would do great job Love rich soil
You are in the right ball park with your comment Tom, just look how much trash is on each of the plough legs there s no wonder the soil is not being properly inverted. Also I think the plough is set too deep and has a lot of the soil breaking over the top of the mouldboard which is causing the amount of surface trash. Maybe the winter weather will kill off the surface green matter but if it does not I can see a problem with subsequent operations ie planting ,seeding etc.
I don’t think that John Deere has enough power to break that plow!! Lol 😂 Just kidding! Interesting video on plowing. Watching from Alberta Canada. I wish we were that wet here. Have a safe harvest.
Good video. Plowing is very enjoyable, you can really see the progress clearly, same as with harvesting :) I would just say that any and all nitrogen is natural. However, not from an organic source. And to plants and animals, there is no difference whether the nitrogen comes from organic source or a chemical fertilizer.
We call the Furrow - " Voar Line " , Very impressive plough ,but to call it a Plough or "Plowing " the object of the exercise is to Bury the rubbish , quite honestly it looks "cultivated " . The Tractors & machinery is very impressive , dont like Deeres , prefer our Masseys ,but each to his own . Thank you
Just subbed, weird i'm just finding yer content. i just picked up an 8 bottom to pull behind my AC8550 as we move our cattle op into more natural systems
Good luck trying to manouver any of these around my small Swedish farm.. Boulders and rocks everywhere and small irregular fields with small bridges between them.
in the netherlands most organic farmers don't plough, or just like 6 inches deep.. and we want the residu to be under the ground, here we got revolving plough's
Here’s a question. Doesn’t plowing pull up new weed seed? Now maybe this is a question from a different type of farmer (small vegetable farm), but we have been testing this for 6 years now since initially plowing up the grass and we can definitely see a difference in weed density between pictures from then and what we see now in our pumpkin patch. Thanks in advance. And cool video love watching plows just wondering if this is an issue that other people have thought about and curious to hear maybe whether it’s different for big grain farmers or what peoples opinions are in general
If you plough properly with a good plough you should be turning the weeds under. This video shows just how bad it can be, and I'd say in this instance it's not ploughed it's disturbed, so you're going to get weeds. Imo.
Frist and for most thank u for what u guys do and the second question the produce that u guy go through and the ones u can’t sell do sell to the community for a lesser price
About the only time we actually use a moldboard anymore is for breaking out hay ground but I like using my 4450 on it. (Plow is a 7x16 JD 360 hydraulic reset) Truth be told, it’s a little too much plow but we get by.
i live on a farm in northern sweden and work there a bit during the summers. i dont understand how you have the money for multiple massive tractors and harvesters? we have 3 smaller tractors, the biggest is a massey ferguson 7719 (i think).
the graphics on your farming simulator is insane
Unreal Engine 8 is the future.
the new giants engine 15 looks really nice
Bro prob uses a diesel engine to power his pc
Does anyone know the value of this machine?

Me, a pilot, playing farm sim singing international harvester in my head.

Fascinating to learn about the intersection of agriculture and technology. Your insights are spot on!

oh how i would have loved to grow up like that... I was grown up in the city... It sucked
The experiences you had with the 1980 John Deere 4440 sound incredible and memorable.
Hallo
My fav was a 1975 JD 8430 growing up as a teenager. Thought I was bad as_ handling that big beast so young. Sure do miss my old baby.
Yall dirt is BEAUTIFUL. In Louisiana, the black dirt is south of I10 and irrigation can pull out salt water. Yall are blessed with that dirt...💯💯😍😍
You gotta love old school plowing I loved it every fall back in the seventies Great video thanks
Its my favorite thing to do on the farm! Thanks for watching!
Amazing
The smell was amazing. Always plowed with the back window open
What do you think makes old school plowing so special compared to modern techniques?
@@FarmHarvestHaven I'm guessing it's the chocolate milk color that it gives the rivers or the waist deep gullies that wash out of the fields.
back in the 80's, pulled 12-18's with a Steiger Panther. Loved plowing....and of course the combine. Now we no-till, some chisel plow, and speed- till. Miss moldboard plowing.
I appreciate you going into detail. Great video!

Your welcome buddy!
As you are organic and not using herbicides shouldn't the plow bury all of the weeds to kill them? There looks to be a lot of weed on the surface to re grow.
Weeds are in the whole soil profile. And last for years in the soil.
SO WHAT, NO NEED TO STRIP IT CLEAN, JUST MAKE ROOM FOR NEW SEED.

That new model year 9RX is such a beautiful piece of equipment. There my fav out of all the John Deere lineup
Couldn't agree more!
@@FehrsFarmingOrganic 9RT is also cool!
I love farming so much I want to be a farmer.
When I farmed back in the day that was the one thing I enjoyed the most.
It’s the best!

There’s something so satisfying about the first day of plowing! and it’s definitely one of the most rewarding jobs on the farm.

How many bodies is this plough? 13? 14? My goodness. I come from an agricultural country in Europe where a 10 furrow plough is considered big. Great job guys!
Lol I’ve seen a 620 hp tractors pulling 24 bodies plows in US
Used to love the Staffordshire ploughing matches when I was a kid!
The harvest is coming along nicely
You need a European plough like a 14 furrow reversible from kevernaland. It would give that big girl something to do
we europeans still do a lot of ploughing, when you said that ''it looks nice and even'' i laughed my butt off :D hehe, there is much to learn for you my boy
Yeah, he won't win a plowing contest ! 😀
Yeah 😂 I looked at the rows and thought wy is there anything green above the ground...... And the back tail of the plough is seemly too shallow
When we plow there is not a single green plant to see.
if we plown there is not a single plant above anymore
same, no green plant should ever be seen after ploughing@@BioFarmerJo
He’s missing skimmer bodies 🫨
why does your plough not have skimmers on in front of boards to bury all the trash ??
Americans aren’t fussy like us lot, as long as it looks like theve moved the dirt that’ll do, as for moving on with using a reversible, nope, they don’t do that full stop, just different that’s all.
Awesome video, thanks!
Looks good and it always smells good with fresh turned soil
Absolutely, best part of the job!
I remember spending a week plowing 80 acers with a very old John Deer that may have had 30-35 HP and no shelter from the sun.

Thanks for the video.
You'd do the plowing in a shorter period of time if you had a roll-over plow with less time spent on the headlands.
Good point, we have looking into rollover plows but haven’t really justified purchasing one… maybe next year!
If not a roll over plow they make a reversible plow also the uses the 3point hitch
We had terraced land and my dad was a leader in farm practices. We always had two way roll over plows.
Plough needs skimmers infrastructure of each mouldboard to bury grass /weeds/stubble
Also cutters to cut infrastructure of mouldboard and u would do great job
Love rich soil

Sure wish I lived near you because I love that life
Artificial Fert is what you were trying to say. Not good ploughing because you don't have skimmers, also why don't you have a reversible plough?
I love that black dirt
my dad used to plow using a 6 bottom and a 966 open station international. That thing would scream
what made the switch from red to green ? seen a ih quad in your intro
Our case ih had a ton of hours and we like the green ones better
whats that already growing? and what state you are located??
I don’t think that John Deere has enough power to break that plow!!
Lol 😂 Just kidding!
Interesting video on plowing. Watching from Alberta Canada. I wish we were that wet here. Have a safe harvest.
Time will tell 😂thanks for watching!

Nice sim setup mate! looks real to me. What realistic mod did you use?
