Those Case Quadtracs pull awesome . We absolutely love our 500 and 580 they are the best 4 tracked tractor . I'm enjoying all the great content and drone shots .Great video keep up the good work and stay safe!
Great video as always. It's amazing how big the machinery has gotten and how complicated it is compared to the 70's and 80's when I started working on the farm. If you had a 4 row planter and combine you thought you had something here in Orange county Virginia. 1066/1086 or 4430/4440 tractors were big horses then. Thanks for sharing.
Of all videos that I have watched about farming practices, including farming in N.D., this particlar video has been most informative. I love it. North Dakota is weell knoiwn for planting and harvesting wheat and barley, and some soybeans crops as well. But considering the climate of North Dakota, I don't know for sure if subsoiling practices would be practical or useful to the farmers in that state or not. In the eastern part of the state, along the Red River Valley, there is also alot of sugar beat crops that are planted and harvested.
We have a 9470RX, 9570Rx and a 550 quad track. We use the 9470Rx on our Kenzie planter and grain cart then the two 9570rx and 550 quad track are our two tillage tractor.
@@bigtractorpower love your videos they are a big help honestly with my toy reviews. If you like toy farm equipment I have started to do reviews on them
Looks like a pretty big farm there. It's nice to see from beginning to end of the season. I'm liking these videos that take us through the season. Thanks Jason 👍🏻
In the 80's I was in the UK farming, I worked on a large farm 530acres, that was big back then. One field we sub-soiled, the following wheat yield was the best we ever had. we had a MF 520 combine and a MF699, big stuff back then. With the ridiculous price of fiertiliser, sub-soiling could be a tool to help farmers maintain yield???
The fuel bill no doubt is not enjoyable but the fracturing of the compaction and airing out the soil, opening it up to collect water and reduce run off is a great benefit for the corn crop that follows.
I'm sure there's a straightforward reason for it- why do the operators intermittently raise the subsoilers out of the ground? Did those areas not get compacted, or is that for erosion control, or something else? The Quadtracs are a sight to see, and four of them in one place converting gallons to foot-pounds is great! Very good to see equipment earn money like that. Thank you for showing us. Cheers! :)
They raise the 2500 on places that water washes across the field on a slight slope to reduce any erosion y leaving the earth undisturbed. The farm just no tills those spots. GPS allows them to map the field and know the exact spots to lift up over and leave unworked. .
Ok this may be a dumb question but here goes. If they subsoil anyway why worry about using tracked combines and tractors. Thanks for great videos. Always look forward to the next one.
Jason I would love to know how Quad Tracs compare with Twin Trac tractors - pulling ability, compaction and manouverability , not that that matters much in that field!
The QUADTRAC is solid tractor and in my opinion the most refined four track tractor. The two track tractors are pretty good too. The QUADTRAC is less likely to spin out in the field rolling through mud and up hills with big implements. I have seen a two track tractor struggle in mud because it can’t turn out of it. I have watched a two track tractor with a 60ft air drill spun out on a hill that a QUADTRAC with the same drill climbed right up. A two track tractor tends to ride over ditches like a tank with the front end raising up and coming down with a thud. A two track on a 120 inch track spacing will road smoother and provide great speeds in the field. Both a good tractors but the QUADTRAC has a few edges In the field.
@@bigtractorpower Thank you Jason for taking the time to give that clear answer to my question. You will no doubt be in Case-IH's good books although I assume this would pretty much apply to all four track tractors - as far as looks, I like the Versatiles!
Most farms I film at plant the boundaries first. It does not impact the crop to much. A few are using gps to plant the center and then the boundaries last.
There are definitely all types of way to prepare a seed bed from moldboard plowing to no till. Sun soiling works very well in this area in the double crop situation. This farm does a bunch of test plots every year looking at a variety of methods. No till farming was invited in Christian County KY where this was filmed. You see allot of no till especially on the double crop beans.
we used a john deere2950 fwd with a 4-16 john deere 835 two way plow . and oliver 1755 with a moline 3-15 two way plow. and a john deere 210 disk and a vicon power harrow and john deere 7000 4 row 38 planter.
Very cool line up. The 1755 is one of my all time favorite tractors. It’s neat you plow with an MM plow on it. I just posted a video of an MM G1350 on Friday running an Oliver 540 plow.
@@bigtractorpower my earlier in 1974 bought a new oliver 1655 and my dad had a mm 302 on the plow first. then the 1655 pulled the plow. in 1978 had alot of rain so used another tractor to pull oliver 1655 oliver thru some wet spots. we had a z moline.
Jason, are folks having any problems with the new Case equipment, out here New Holland equipment you can't even give away hardly, people buy a new New Holland, tractor, they won't keep it a year then get rid of it,
@Jimmy Strain What sort of issues do people have with New Holland? While not AG equipment, I've heard the same of new Volkswagen cars, even the $60+k ones. Dealers say they take as many back after a few months as they sell, because the software is abysmal and the quality took a dive. I'm German, so hearing me knock a German brand like that they really messed up. haha
@@2xKTfc wiring harness was big issue and other software problems, the thi g in our area is the serve they are receiving, not necessarily New Holland itself , the dealer is a big part
I own a Case IH 415 culti mulcher that I use with the 4786. I did a live stream from the 4786 cab for about an hour this fall here on the channel. It’s a fun tractor to operate.
Thank you for watching. I try to cover all the brands each month. I just posted a similar video last week featuring all John Deere at th-cam.com/video/_jgKNlY5b8c/w-d-xo.html
The best green is Claas green. 😊 But really, as long as it puts traction to the ground and runs well you're not going to hear me complain. Some farmers here use combines Rostselmash, they do a good job (and are a LOT more affordable than some other brands).
With the price of fuel and labor these days guessing all this equipment and all these passes wouldn't even be possible with out the taxpayers and governments subsidies. Would love to see the cost for the increased yields compared to the old ways and cost of imput
It is the vacuum system on the planter. This is a 1250 corn planter. The current 2150 ha the vacuum fan turned facing down which run quieter and pushes the dust clean out down.
Tractors that actually get power to the ground got to love them
Quadtracs are solid tillage machines

Thank you for sharing. Equipment sure has grown. As a kid the 1066/1086 were king on dairy farms in the area.
They're having a ripping good time!
So am I. Learning a lot about how we get fed from watching bigtractorpower.
😁👍👍. Thank you for watching.
I’m a farmer myself in southern Indiana. This video is well put together and very knowledgeable. Keep up the good work!
That field looks bigger then the average farm in Ireland!!!! Greetings from Ireland!!!!!
This field is around 200 acres. All the seasons were filmed in the sane field to show the progression.
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos and put them out here. I really enjoyed them.
Thank you for watching. This was fun to film.
Cheers for a lovely video, much appreciate your time and effort putting this (and your other channel content)vid together.

They can cover a lot of acres pretty quick😉👍
Nice video👍😁
This farm has a good tillage team. Weather permitting they can wrap up in about two weeks.
Nice to see a different colour on a big farm down there. man the cost per acre to do subsoiling must be a hit especially with fuel prices

My guess is those are rocky spots. Or highly erodible areas.
They raise the 2500 on places that water washes across the field on a slight slope to reduce any erosion y leaving the earth undisturbed. The farm just no tills those spots. GPS allows them to map the field and know the exact spots to lift up over and leave unworked. .

There is less compaction from the tracks and better field speed for improved traction.

Jason, what ground speed do they run when pulling those subsoilers?
Typically it is around 6 mph.
It’s like the Case version of Matt’s farm! Lol.
This farm and the one Matt works have several fields that border each other.
@@bigtractorpower awesome!
Hi Jason, i just wondering if it was canola flowering just in the field next door ? Thanks in advance for your answer
Yes it canola. It sure is bright at corn plants ring time.
Why do they plant the end rows first? It would seem damaging to those seeds. We always did them last but that has been a few decades ago.
Most farms I film at plant the boundaries first. It does not impact the crop to much. A few are using gps to plant the center and then the boundaries last.
@@bigtractorpower Good to know thanks
I'd like yo see a agricultural professor explain the benefits and a opposing thought

Hey BTP, wondering what implements you have to use with your big articulating RED tractor?? When are we going to see it in the field again?
I own a Case IH 415 culti mulcher that I use with the 4786. I did a live stream from the 4786 cab for about an hour this fall here on the channel. It’s a fun tractor to operate.
Only problem I see is they are not green... While I like most all brands green is my favorite. That farm has a good crop rotation plan going.
Thank you for watching. I try to cover all the brands each month. I just posted a similar video last week featuring all John Deere at th-cam.com/video/_jgKNlY5b8c/w-d-xo.html

imagine doing that with one blade and a mule.
You would not be covering many acres.
So why such large tractors for such small implements?
It takes a lot of power to pull those big shanks through the ground. They are breaking up compacted earth.
They are running 9 shanks 18 inches deep in compacted soil. It’s like throwing a boat anchor on the tractor nine times.
@@bigtractorpower Just an observation. The 600 bareback is pulling 9 and the 400 3 points are pulling 7😁

Only have John Deere front wheel drive tractors in our operations here in California don't need anything that big here
John Deere fwa tractors are good machines.
Get more work done with the plow Down
They lift it on highly erodible areas where washes heavy. By leaving those spots in worked it prevents wash out gully’s.
What’s the big puff of dust at 12:20? I’m guessing the blower needed to vent excess pressure since the planter was turned off, something like that?
It is the vacuum system on the planter. This is a 1250 corn planter. The current 2150 ha the vacuum fan turned facing down which run quieter and pushes the dust clean out down.
