G’job OFB, if all the younger generations of Americans worked like you, there would be no doubt about the future of this country! It’s great to see things working and going your way👌🏻stay safe bud🇺🇸
I would add the 8700 to the list of game changing equipment purchases. Cutting harvest time down is a huge advantage. Glad to see the planter working flawlessly. Your hard work and perseverance definitely paid off.
I totally agree with you the best thing is to start at the bottom and work your way up the latter. Otherwise you'll never appreciate what you have. My brother and I have had to do the same in our farming operation as well.
@@markjones-nb5fh yes I can agree with that as well. We are the 4th generation on our farm and we thurly appreciate what each generation that came before us did, so I realize we didn't start from scratch either. However we didn't start with brand new equipment. We have a neighbor who is taking over his grandfather's operation. They run only new stuff and farm 15k acres, and I don't think he knows for a moment what it is like to start at the bottom.
Thanks for making these videos Ethan it’s really cool to see Oliver equipment in work as we really don’t see Oliver’s and whites around us in north east Ohio
Great video with top notch equipment. All your pre maintenance is paying off this spring. The turbo has quite the whistle on n the Oliver. Beautiful equipment second to none . Keep your videos coming!
All the maintenance that you did last year and this year on the planter made it very dependable. Curious of how much that planter went for brand new. When I was a kid I remember dad had a two-row planter and then later he got a 4 row Oliver planter. I think those planters were pretty new on the market when we left the farm. Thanks Michael
Because they are shorter and a lot more time turning around. Most of the time the end rows is when you dial your planter or combine in so more time consuming also.
I enjoy your videos. I have a few Olivers myself but no ground to farm any more. I have a 1650 tricycle front a 1355 wide fron and an 1855 wide front with a cab on it. The 1355 and 1855 are diesels and 1650 is a gasser. My granddad bought the 1355 and the 1650 new in Ohio. They are in Wyoming now. Love Oliver tractors!!
Good to see things going smoothly for you. I'm one of those people who thinks good equipment and the right tech(not neccessarly more tech) will get you further than newest tractors will. I also say that having even a basic GPS guidance system is a good thing. Hope the rest of the planting season goes well for you.
Wouldn't it be 95 day cause isnt that how those numbers go? Im no farmer but from a vudei i was watching on hybrid corn i was think those last two numbers eere the days? You know way better than me, but if you were thinking 95 or 97 i think your 95 day thoughtbis right.
I totally understand the planter sentiment. We had a Deere 1240 growing up, the. A White 4 row wide tool bar with kinze units to a 7200 6 row narrow to our current 1750 Deere. Going from that 1240 to the White that had a fertilizer auger. We thought we were big timing cuz we didn't have to bucket fertilizer anymore
I'm not one of those people that try to find something to bitch about in your video's, but I will bring up your comparison of a yugo and your old planter, that planter you have will work great for replant situations, as for the yugo there's a good reason they dissapeared in the 80s, they were junk. Be safe :)
It sucks for replant unless you plan on working ground ahead of it. Not heavy enough to hold the row units in the ground and can’t close the seed trench.
Couple of questions what is the difference between the 6100 & 6180 when are you going to start on the V8 cab tractor I couldn't see what size it was in the video it's parked back there were you was filling the planter

Neither one of y’all know a damn thing about hard work that’s hard work
It’s gonna take more than hard work to fix the mess we are in now.
Yugo to corvette,awesome LOL 😂. Nice job brother. Wish more in your generation worked as hard as you do. Appreciate the vids.keep them coming.

The only guy on this planet who would call his planter "CUTE" 😂 Good luck this season.
Great start. Your maintenance of the planter is now paying off. Here's to kicking 2023 in the ass. Thanks for the update. Take care. Fred.
Hopefully the pace keeps up.

Always nice to get the first field of corn in.

Every once in a while I get lucky.
Thank You
Looking great going to be a good growing Season hopefully. 👍
Hopefully
Looking good buddy be safe out there your buddy from Nebraska
Thanks.
Harmony of man, machine and the land - thanks for sharing.

I would guess 35-40k in the mid 90s.
Looking good Ethan👍👍👍👍👍👍
We like our 12 row 6180. Switched to 8000 row units on it this year with air bag down force and cable drive row clutches.
It’s a nice toolbar. Folding is a little cumbersome but not bad once you’re used to it.
Nice job 👍 what is the transport width???
13 feet ish.
Would it be easier to use the old four to do the end rows?
No
Put yourself a set of Martin row cleaners on that thing you won't regret it
That’s the eventual plan.
You are proving that you don't have to go in hock to buy the latest and greatest to farm effectively. A lesson for those starting and the old hands.
Question from a non farmer,why are end rows more time consuming to plant and harvest?
Because they are shorter and a lot more time turning around. Most of the time the end rows is when you dial your planter or combine in so more time consuming also.
What does fitting mean?
Is that the same as working ground?
Never heard that expression
Working ground is heavy tillage. Fitting ground is making a seed bed.
Why don't u plant your beans with your planter
Wrong spacing
Well, she should be knee-high by fourth of July! Looks good Ethan!
Better be at least chest high by that point.
So approx 2000 seed per acre and that was about 2 acres a bag?
Try 30 thousand plants per acre. 2000 per acre is crop failure.
High Ho Silver.
What breed of dog is yours
Looks like a white German shepherd?
@@robertwilliams3322 thanks
I think he said Teeter is a yellow lab/german shepherd mix
@@christopherschneider3323 ok thanks

No that’s not how that works.
Well, corn planting is off and running...wouldn't be normal without a minor glitch at the start!!!
Yep
Few feet of dead row?!?! My grandpa would have hand planted that row! Maybe bring a can down once in awhile and water those 23 plants...😆
There’s going to be more feet of row destroyed planting and side dressing than that 20 foot of one row.
Hope you have a successful planting season and good crops
Thanks
The sound of that 1950T is just unmatched. Bald eagles literally come out of the exhaust.
That’s an interesting analogy. Lol
Saving time an fuel also!!!
Yep
Looks like a good start Farm Boy
Thanks.
Planter will allow you to add acres without spending money on fixed costs. Congrats.
Just the sound of the 1950 purring away, wish farmers around here would still use tractors like that. 💪
I wonder what your final acreage will be according to the new planter monitor?
I like to see framers using Mark arm that is old school 😊
What software do you use to edit your videos??
I totally understand the planter sentiment. We had a Deere 1240 growing up, the. A White 4 row wide tool bar with kinze units to a 7200 6 row narrow to our current 1750 Deere. Going from that 1240 to the White that had a fertilizer auger. We thought we were big timing cuz we didn't have to bucket fertilizer anymore
Going from dry to liquid fertilizer is like going from the Stone Age to the space age.

6100 is a vertical fold.
We went from a JD 7000 planter to a white 5100 a year ago. Couldn't be more impressed or happy with the simplicity of it and how accurate it is 👍
Only having basically 1 moving part in the meter is handy.
You have a tough looking set up there Oliver 66. Good job on your equipment and have a great planting season and growing season.
Thanks.
Great start to corn 2023 Ethan pre season maintenance sure paid off
Thanks
You alt to pick up a cover for a generator to throw over the motor and pump to keep it from getting rain down when you leave it sitting overnight
You know that alt isn’t a word right?
@@Oliver66FarmBoy lol that how we spell it in the south spell it like it sounds
