    I’m always surprised by how many people say they prefer the north farm videos! I’m south all the way! The sheer scope of the operation combined with the unending vastness of the land just makes me giggle like a school girl.

      Probably because for most people the north farm is closer to what they see on a daily basis. I had some friends from Germany visit my ranch/farm in Montana a few years ago. I’m just across the border from Mike at the south farm so very similar terrain. I swear they almost peed themselves when they saw the seemingly endless and wide open prairie for the first time.

      These places in North America are strange to me, where I live I've never even seen a horizon that isn't covered by trees in every direction. Unless you're at the coast that is. Wide open spaces like these are strange, even the north farm barely has any trees compared to where I'm from.

    Question. Why do the Borg, Seedhawk, seedmaster type drills pull so hard? The biggest reason we not have 800hp tractors. Is it just the cart size or is it the ground engagement also?

    • @colestock9980
      @colestock9980 7 місяців тому

      I think in an older video he said that the combined tractor, drill and tank weighed around 160,000lb when EMPTY so add all the phos, nitrogen and seed, thats a lot of weight behind that tractor. And putting 24m of spikes 4” into the ground doesnt really help, especially if the ground is tough. I might be wrong on the weight figures, but either way these things are anything but light 😂

    • @colestock9980
      @colestock9980 7 місяців тому

      Oh i also forgot, the cart has its own brake system that also adds a minute amount of drag. The brakes help slow the cart down on hills so that it doesnt take off tossing the tractor like a toy
