Today's video was very informative for a non farmer. Like the videos that show how farmers manage the land from planting, harvest and seed bed prep. Thank you
Don't worry BTP i am still watching lol. Watching all the big iron that is used to farm now days is enjoyable to watch for us old farts that worked 100 acres of farm ground as kids. When lived in North Dakota for awhile that was my first taste of big iron. Minnesota born.
who could possibly thumbs down this video that's ashamed, BTP videos are the best. the information provided also is second to none. keep it up please and thank you @bigtractorpower
Enjoy ploughing & tilling most. That Krause implement dose a good job making the field look groomed. That farmer is fond of Case IH, he keeps them in good condition. Fun watching & learning BTP video episodes. Well Done 👍
Another brilliant video, these tractor drivers of today don't know they are born, I drove a 414 international ,no Cab and it couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding, let alone the 6ft wide drag harrows I was using in a 25 acre field it would take me 3 days. Kevin from London UK.
It’s amazing what machines can do in a few hours today. I remember multiple passes of tillage in the early 80’s with plowing, disking and harrowing. Now one machine can accomplish everything in one pass that used to take 4,5,6 or more.
I'm sorry. That big Case-IH Row-Trac looks like they realized at the last second that it didn't have a muffler so they just taped one wherever it would fit. LOVE THE CHANNEL!
There use to be a gold CaseIH Steiger 535 about 20 miles north of here.Went to see if it was still around one day & unfortunately it was gone.But the farm did have a regular 535
@@nellsonstout7001 I am Lafayette.Where did he get the one he has?I think that the one that the farm north of here got came from Birkeys in Williamsport.I was in the dealership when they had it in the shop back in 2008
Non-farmer question: In the older video that explains all the different tillage methods, the moldboard plow is the most aggressive option to break up compaction. But later on the video says that it creates compaction. To me that didn't make lots of sense. This farm seems to work just fine with no plowing. Do they never have to or is it a once every few years treatment for them? Thank you (and anyone else) for explaining! Cheers :)
I can try to explain that. Plowing over time can create what is called a plow pan, which is basically a compaction layer 9-10 inches deep. To avoid creating compaction it is a good idea to mix up tillage practices, but by far the best method to reduce compaction in the plants roots. What we do to reduce compaction is a method called strip till and ill be doing some videos on that this spring.
BTP, great video as always. Would you be able to show the soil in your hand once the tillage tool goes across it? It would allow us the viewer to see how the plant remanents are chopped.
Won't be any field work done here in Iowa. Part of the county that I live in is flooding. Had record snowfall in February and warm temperatures with rain the last 2 days.
nice to see some spring tillage but i got a combine question how standardized if at all are the header hook ups. Is it like other implements that they could care less about what it is hooked to or is it like camera bodies and lenses where you have several different mount types?
There are OEM “Original Equipment Manufacturer” headers which are built to fit their brand of combine only. There are independent manufacturers that build heads as well. In order to use an independent built headers use adapter plates to fit on each brands feeder house.
With plowing you get to much of the good dirt running of the field you also hafta make multiple passes in the field your workin.With this clay soil it compacts to easy so one pass is the best
I realize you don't farm but getting you a nice international I thought you'd get some time to help work down some fields for your friends to get ready to plant then come fall help bring in the crop maybe pulling a grain buggy or even working the ground for next planting season.
I'm surprised being that far south that so much tillage is used. Nobody would ever dream of running tillage over soybean residue here in MD; it is a very uncommon practice here.
No till Farming was invented just 10 miles from this field back in 1962. No till is vey popular here. Some farms still like tillage because it breaks compaction, levels the field and warms up the seed bed.
Nothing going on here in mud hole N. Missouri. Its my opinion but, I find it highly ridiculous to use auto steer in medium size fields tilling dirt.....Just steer the damn thing... I like your videos...
In an 80 acre field with a 25 foot tillage tool and an average 3ft overlap it takes 60 passes, with auto steer an set the over lap to 1ft it only takes 55 passes, saves time&fuel
@@timwestendorf8303 2.5 rounds indeed it would....Its just don't fit in my operation lots of 20-30 acre odd shaped fields, me and electronic gadgets dont get along, whole herd of 40 year old tractors, auto steer not gonna happen any time soon...

Wow high speed wide sweeping turns. Looks like the computer is mapping it so he knows the missed patches. Nice Landstar
In South Dakota we call them a field finsher! This brings back memories of of pulling a 22 ft Krause with a 9170 Deutz-Allis!
Nice set up. Was it a green or orange 9170?
bigtractorpower Green! because I come White/Oliver family and not an AC family

They are pretty solid Case IH other than a pair of John Deere 1790 16/31 soybean planters.
Stunning, this video is definitely one of your bests, the action of the LANDSTAR was very well demonstrated and the video quality excellent
Besides the awesome video of the machines, I love and appreciate the detail you provide for all the machinery.
Thank you for watching. I try to give a good mix of field action, specifications and what the farmer is working on.
Nice work on the commentary on how the Krause works. Great job.
👍
The Row Trac Version looks Amazing! 👍😍
Good to see farmers getting ground ready for planting. Good video, love it..!
Thank you for watching.
I like the Steiger, too much road travel for tracks on most farms. Looks nice down there, we won't see field work in Minnesota until late April.
I hope warmer weather finds its way up North.
Love this channel. from Ontario Canada
Thank you for watching. 👍
Both setups are very good indicator the dirt is pretty wet still.
Krause and CaseIH. I like it!
Krause chisel & an IH 1206!
Great work putting together videos like this. Big thanks.
Thank you for watching. It’s fun to share these machines.
Another great video B.T.P.,I always learn something new with these vids.
That tractor has a huge exhaust wow
It does but it is really not visible from he cab.
Those skinny tracks remind me of the guys that lift their trucks but still run the small tires on them.
They are set for 30 inch rows on the 24 row corn planter and side dressing corn.
Excellent, love watching one pass machines
Thank you for watching.
Man, you're getting me extremely jealous Jason! Can't wait for the weather to shape up and we can get into the fields!
👍👍👍
Great video sir!! Nice track!!!
Thank you for watching.

I can practically smell the dirt from here! There is still 6 inches of snow here that has to melt before we can even think about getting in the fields
Things are moving here but looks like rain for a couple days starting tomorrow. Should break wide open next week.
A nother great video 👍, thank you
Thank you for watching.

Agreed. They look terrible.

The Gold 535 is 11 years old this year. It seems just like yesterday they were brand new. Where are you located?
@@bigtractorpower Lafayette,Indiana Jason.Ironically these is a gold Magnum 305 20 miles west of here.
@@nellsonstout7001 Is he in Indiana to?

I really like the Steiger 530
The good hood 535 is cool. Only 50 built like that in 2007/2008.
Great video
Thank you for watching.
BTP, great video as always. Would you be able to show the soil in your hand once the tillage tool goes across it? It would allow us the viewer to see how the plant remanents are chopped.
I can work on that. Just scoop some dirt up and shake it a bit in my hand?
bigtractorpower yes, it would let is see how it looks. I have an idea as growing up on a farm, but many viewers may not. Thank you for the response!
Well done.
Thank you for watching.
Amazing farm technology.
👍
Won't be any field work done here in Iowa. Part of the county that I live in is flooding. Had record snowfall in February and warm temperatures with rain the last 2 days.
Sorry to hear that. We had record rain and flooding 3 weeks ago. Finally getting dry enough for some field work.

@@bigtractorpower makes sense so just about like camera lenses
Around here in central NJ farmers are just getting their equipment out of the sheds. They will get going soon, depending on how much it rains.
Field work is moving here but rain is expected the next two days.
We r ripping here in bowling green ky now
👍👍👍 saw some NH3 was going in today as well.
I can see why they called at Landstar man that is an excellent job that is doing
👍
You have that William Shatner pause speech style of speaking.
Nice
👍
Nice vid.
Thank you for watching.
We are hoping to start in the field just any day now but still too wet
Is still wet in spots but tillage, NH3 application and wheat herbicide spraying is on the move.
I was looking for a clip of your tractor pulling the Krause
If timing and weather work out the plan is to run the 4786 on a 50ft McFarlane harrow.
Is this better than ploughing?
With plowing you get to much of the good dirt running of the field you also hafta make multiple passes in the field your workin.With this clay soil it compacts to easy so one pass is the best
Maybe the first cut of hay?
Will you ever come back to Quebec, Canada like you did in Coaticook?
Maybe. I really liked the region. It just all depends on how the filming season works out.
How much down time do you have to get to work fields for your neighbors when not making your videos
I only film in my spare time and do not farm. I do own a tractor so I do hope to cover a few acres with it this spring.
I realize you don't farm but getting you a nice international I thought you'd get some time to help work down some fields for your friends to get ready to plant then come fall help bring in the crop maybe pulling a grain buggy or even working the ground for next planting season.
What type of fertiliser do they apply there
I like red equipment!
👍
I'm surprised being that far south that so much tillage is used. Nobody would ever dream of running tillage over soybean residue here in MD; it is a very uncommon practice here.
farmerallis yep in my park over Kentucky is a lot different then what shows here.
No till Farming was invented just 10 miles from this field back in 1962. No till is vey popular here. Some farms still like tillage because it breaks compaction, levels the field and warms up the seed bed.
Where they starting to plant in the last part of the clip.
That is their 2150 24 row.
Would it be possible for you to do some sugar cane planting and harvesting in the future
I would like to film and share sugar cane. I am 8-10 hours from sugar cane farms. Hopefully I can line up a trip south some time.
No field work done here in hopkins County yet.. Way to wet
I live in henderson starting to see anhydrous tanks pulled around
Is this video current? any field work being done yet, still wet in NC
Field work is under way. Tillage, NH3 application and herbicide application on wheat.
How many bushels of beans do they make per acre on those double crop soybeans
In an extra good year 60 bu. In a normal year 50 bu.
Is using a tile unit
Is this better than ploughing?
Your camera is very sensitive or that tractor is really loud
Do you mean on the inside or outside?
Its awfully loud inside
Seems like a lot of wasted HP on those narrow tracks?
Some red isnt all that bad once in a while.
I think to feature all the colors.
Nothing going on here in mud hole N. Missouri. Its my opinion but, I find it highly ridiculous to use auto steer in medium size fields tilling dirt.....Just steer the damn thing...
I like your videos...
This is a 100 acre field. If you have the GPS you mine as well use it. It’s great steering a tractor but GPS helps cover the ground more efficiently.
@@bigtractorpower yes sir..I just dont care for it or can't get used to it..
In an 80 acre field with a 25 foot tillage tool and an average 3ft overlap it takes 60 passes, with auto steer an set the over lap to 1ft it only takes 55 passes, saves time&fuel

anybody put a planter in the dirt yet over there
Not just yet that I have viewed. Tillage, NH3 application and herbicide spaying on wheat are in full swing.
It’s too bad to see a dopey sub division take up ground like in the first clip.
I dislike that too. Unfortunately another part of that field is going into houses this year.
Narrow tracks look stupid
They do a nice job in 30 inch rows running between standing rows of corn.
Fiat cnh what a combination of junk
Hope the operator is wearing ear plugs that's awful loud in the cab
