Better to see ground in production than ground lost to subdivisions. Look forward to seeing that corn ground develop over the summer. Thanks for the ride along.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! May God bless you and your family. Those of us that are trying to go back to the land learn so much from guys like you. Much appreciated !
I just love to see more land reclaimed and put into use!! I absolutely love that plow setup and the work you did here! I hope I can get mine to roll some soil one day soon too!! This was and is very inspiring Alan, thank you for bringing us along!! I hope the 560 keeps doing well for ya at least till maybe winter ? Complete with an awesome parade and rodeo!! My apologies for being late! Hope you are feeling better and had a great father's day!! Look fwd to more! 😁👍
I don't recall ever having seen a set of trailer plows with 3 tires. It appeared as though they were trailing rather well and all the shares seemed to be cutting at the same depth. Did a good job of turning that sod ground over. I think you will see some good corn in the piece of land. Nice to see your family enjoying some quality time away from the farm. Everyone needs to get away once in a while. It is good for the soul and the mind!
thanks for the video Alan, all those activities look like they were alot of fun 🚜 my land renters plowed up some ground that used to be an old pasture this was about 10 years ago at least
Looks like a sandier soil that worked up real nice for not being worked up for so long. You are right about the silo for sure. I'm wagering you'll have a fine stand of corn there. Nice to have all the corn in the ground. That in itself is worthy of a parade.
I just happened on this video and watched it because I dairy in North Carolina. My wife is from Minnesota, she was born and lived in Kettle River in early childhood. We have vacationed to visit her family in Minnesota 9 times over the past 18 years and have been in Carlton and Pine counties several times. We were in Kettle River twice over the years while Ma and Pa Kettle days were going. In your video segment of the parade, imagine my surprise when I saw the old lime-green Ford ready-mix concrete truck. I made pictures of it in the Kettle River parade in 2012 !
@@trinitydairy Thanks for reply to my comment. Next time I get to Minnesota maybe I can stop by for a visit. Checkout my channel th-cam.com/users/Funnymilkerman
Those 66 series IH tractors are real old work horses! I put a 12 volt fan in the top right corner of the cab in my 966. The extra air flow makes it much more comfortable. I never go in and out that door much anyway with the gear shifters right there, so it really doesn’t interfere much.
its nice to see the moldboard plow still in use.I just moved to an area where the soil seems to be simular to yours from clay. It really helps to see the process from sod to seed what tools you used and how it finished. cheers from Ontario Canada
It is always great to watch your content. If you need any parts for your old 7000 John Deere planner I got one sitting in the weeds out back of the farm that might have a few good parts on it still. Hope you and your family stay safe and have a bountiful summer!!!
Your welcome. Always try to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing them. Alan. See your feeling better. Your a true dairy man.. I see your milking your plow points right to the end. Huh.. along with the land sides..lmao.. Iooked like Miss Jenn wanted to run out and jump on that trailer of John Dreere s when they went by? Lol..
I’ve not seen a moldboard plow that big used around here, by the time folks went to larger tractors, every thing was chisel plowed or disked. In fact in NC piedmont very little tillage is used. No till planting and seeding is common, both for corn, soybeans in the spring, wheat in the fall. In fact my cousins who dairy have ground that probably hasn’t been tilled in 10 years, they just cut the spring or fall crop off spread liquid manure then no till plant or drill
Definitely good to see old sod rolled over and planted. But I would really like to see you get that case combine out and cutting!! I’ve got about 19 acres of small grain to run thru my 660 this year. Plus about 15 acres of beans.
That early production 1066(71 to73)? Were so cool when they first came out after the 56 series stuff, all that old tuff ih and Farmall stuff from 40 to the 80s was as strong as hell and noce to operate also, noce video guys
My Dad had the 5 bottom version of that 770. Spent many hours plowing with that in the White 2-105 in my HS days. I think that White was about the same HP as your 1066 and 5 bottoms was enough for it. Usually could not go as fast as you are unless it was bean stubble on hills. Low spots in corn stalks had to slow down. But, soil in that area is heavy and black maybe yours is lighter.
What a great place to live! Our antique tractor club's insurance co. made us stop throwing out candy at parades because they thought someone would get hurt. In addition to no riders on the fender, it took all the fun out of it so we just quit doing parades ten years ago. Seems stupid and sad to me. Good to see your parade. This plow needs some new iron too don't it? Looks like that 7000 could use a spring or two as well. Sod turned up well, bought to produce some nice corn. Best regards from Indiana.
Yeah that plow needs shears and shins, but they had enough meat left on them for that little piece. Those broken springs on the planter are for extra pressure when planting no till, so they don't need to be on there for what I'm doing. Yeah all the rules for parades and events like that, take all the fun out of them. Thanks for watching!
Hello from Wisconsin. Been watching your channel about 14 months or so now. Could you please talk about how many acres you farm with all your crops, how many head you have on the farm? I'm curious to know and would love to hear more about your whole operation. Thanks for the wonderful video's you put out too!
When plowing in your soil conditions dose you international 1066 ever pull hard when plowing. In the videos it seems to just roll along and not struggle at all. Great video and I absolutely love plowing
4 acres don't sound like much but if you're going to be running a farm there for another 20-25 years you multiply four times 25 that's actually quite a lot of land
I have seen in some of your videos a gehl 400, do you have a good place to get parts for that chopper? Been wanting to fix up an old one I have but not sure if I can still get parts.
Interesting to see bull riding in Minnesota. I bet it’s nice to bust open a piece of ground that doesn’t have a bunch of rocks in it. Keep that red power going. What county are you in? Video said Carlton but signs in parade said Pine.
Like most small towns y'all got things backwards. If you'll send the horses through in the parade when they throw the candy it won't brake when it hits the street ! LOL
Hi my name is phillip winders from morganfield Kentucky and I like your channel how Many acres do you'll farm corn and beans and hay to do have daily cattle or raise beef livestock
Hi Alan, the 6 bottom plow is the same width as your 1066, which means you don’t travel to run over any lower ground with the tractor tires. What tractor was that, pulling the disk and ‘smoother’ combination? What about when seeding? When you said you burned the ground to clean it enough to see that it was clear of metal bits/debris, do you mean fire or spray? If fire what season is best for it? Sorry for all the questions. Didn’t grow up on a farm, so much to learn!
A 1256 IH pulling the disc, and a 560 Farmall, on the planter. We burnt it with fire, we try to do that in the spring,the main thing is to have enough moisture, to keep the fire from getting out of control.
Watching and pulling a plow is so satisfying.
Always interesting to see land worked from start to finish.
Glad to see the kids enjoyed the parade- also good to see land go back into production- thanks for the video
6 bottom plow no sweat for the Red Machine! IH FOREVER
I found some of the plowing shots very relaxing.
I love them videos seeing ground turned over that hasn’t been in years awesome
Another very good video
Better to see ground in production than ground lost to subdivisions. Look forward to seeing that corn ground develop over the summer. Thanks for the ride along.

Plant that corn Alan. I miss doing that stuff. County Fair time something I miss too
Thank you for the time you put into the filming and editing

Happy Father’s Day and happy to you Alan 🎂
Great video. Love the diffrent views you gave. Keep them coming. As alwways Godbless
Nice to see you gaining a few more tillable acres. Good to get out and have some fun once in a while.👍
I really enjoyed watching the field work. Hopefully the rains bless your crop. Thanks

Thanks for the video. That ground looks good when plowing hope you get a good corn crop
Good to get a night off. Looks like the bulls were winning. Hoping for a great growing season.
After being pasture all those years, it should grow some good corn.
One heck of a awesome video.I can say one thing you plowed that field like me and my dad and family did to alot of fields back in the day!
Those 66 series IH tractors are real old work horses! I put a 12 volt fan in the top right corner of the cab in my 966. The extra air flow makes it much more comfortable. I never go in and out that door much anyway with the gear shifters right there, so it really doesn’t interfere much.
Love watching the plow!
Going hard Allan,take care of yourself. Love all the greenery! Looks like a good year. Those dairy cows will eat well. Lots milk money!
Excellent videography !!

turns out real Nice peace of ground, looks like sandy ground to me, glad you had some fun times, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Tell Dad you want the green tractors!! Green grass, Green tractor, green money!!
good job and God bless yall

I grew up with red stuff in Nebraska but now I live in Tennessee and play with the green stuff the first numbered series
Reminds me of our farm we used to have in leaven County kansas
Well done Alan. You sound a little sick. Don't over do it buddy. Take a nap now n then. We want you to be healthy!
Some wild bull rides there.

Like how the dirt rolls with the plow
I grew up moving round bails on a 1066
Nice old red iron in that video but I will say a 7000 JD is hard to beat as well.
Totally agree
That ground worked up pretty nice. Corn should do good.
Would love to have that old concrete truck !!
The nice green tractor
Only farming channel I know of on all of TH-cam.
Red Power start to finish!
Voice is making a comeback Alan.
I rather enjoyed your subbing intro host. 👍
The kids were thinking they should take it over permanently lol
My Dad had the 5 bottom version of that 770. Spent many hours plowing with that in the White 2-105 in my HS days.

Oh yeah this is sand here

Yeah, that's great!
heres the link to vid I made @@trinitydairy
New sub! Liked 🤗😛😀✌️
Thanks for subscribing!
I would be interested in seeing the difference in the size of the late planted corn versus the earlier planted corn when reaching maturity.
New sub! Liked
Allen was that you on the last bull. Take care great job

We probably should do a reintroduction video again.
When plowing in your soil conditions dose you international 1066 ever pull hard when plowing. In the videos it seems to just roll along and not struggle at all. Great video and I absolutely love plowing
We are on sand, so there's not really any spots that give it trouble.
@@trinitydairy some time you should get the 1256 in a video pulling the 6 bottom plow too
👌
I'd call that sandy loan soil. I assume that corn will make silage!
Can we have a farm tour please ?
4 acres don't sound like much but if you're going to be running a farm there for another 20-25 years you multiply four times 25 that's actually quite a lot of land
Very true!
Hey allen got a question for you? How many bushels of ear corn did you get on 4 acres?
The crib was about half full, so I would say, 4-5 hundred bushels, but that's just a guess. Also I could be off some on the acreage.
@Trinity Dairy ok just wondering because i have a 4 acre field that i want to grow corn in.
I have seen in some of your videos a gehl 400, do you have a good place to get parts for that chopper? Been wanting to fix up an old one I have but not sure if I can still get parts.
I haven't tried to get parts for a long time, that chopper is kind of a spare, so it doesn't get used much. Probably best to look for used.
Where I rent the land there was a Feild the last time it was plowed it was with horses with a walking plow about 60 years ago.
Wow!
Interesting to see bull riding in Minnesota. I bet it’s nice to bust open a piece of ground that doesn’t have a bunch of rocks in it. Keep that red power going. What county are you in? Video said Carlton but signs in parade said Pine.
We are in Pine, pretty close to the Carlton border so our dairy princesses share counties
Like most small towns y'all got things backwards. If you'll send the horses through in the parade when they throw the candy it won't brake when it hits the street ! LOL
Lol
Did you do a good job cleaning up or you found some buried treasure?
I must have done a good job, didn't find much at all.
Hi my name is phillip winders from morganfield Kentucky and I like your channel how
Many acres do you'll farm corn and beans and hay to do have daily cattle or raise beef livestock
We own 60 acres and rent another 140 acres.
Ok what you grow on the ground that you rent
Hay and corn mostly. We're trying some sorghum Sudan grass this year.
Helen and 1066 does that have heat in the cab?
Yeah, it's not a factory heater, it's one we added.
Hi Alan, the 6 bottom plow is the same width as your 1066, which means you don’t travel to run over any lower ground with the tractor tires.
What tractor was that, pulling the disk and ‘smoother’ combination? What about when seeding?

A 1256 IH pulling the disc, and a 560 Farmall, on the planter. We burnt it with fire, we try to do that in the spring,the main thing is to have enough moisture, to keep the fire from getting out of control.
Looks like a 986
And a 706
When’s the last time do you think that plot was plowed?
I'm not sure, it could be 50years, I'm 37, and it hasn't been plowed in my lifetime.
Well I thought The dirt was turning over pretty easily!
@@rudycarlson8245 yeah, it's pretty sandy soil.
What type of soil?
Really sandy
@@trinitydairy Have a great season!
i am ignorant. is there a depth adjustment???????
Yes, the depth is adjusted by the wheels directly under the seed boxes.
You have a busted spring under you corn planter
Yeah, those are just for extra down pressure, if you're planting no till.
Is it me or is the 560 getting a miss fire.
Yeah, it has a bad valve, but the compression was pretty good, so we're still running it.
@@trinitydairy Winter is coming it won't start so a good time to fix it then.
Do you understand what a seedbeb is
I know what a seed bed is. Not sure about a seedbeb!
