Another great interview with this farmer. Look fwd to hearing more from him. What a farm & it’s family run. That’s awesome to hear. Cheers
A tour of where they store/park and perform maintenance on all their equipment would be awesome - I'm sure they have an incredible workshop. Keep up the great work!
I am going to ask if I can do that this winter. I need to ask before I poke around in their sheds and shop. You can see their farm in this video where I drove my tractor around the home place @ ua-cam.com/video/huSfOW2pARY/v-deo.html
Jonathan Ericksen I am allowing him this winter to do this
Jonathan Ericksen I have a 1000 by 3000 foot building. 13 lifts 6 pits and a entire wash bay
Somers Farm 250,000 acres sir. Yes everything gets washed and degreased their. So nice to have a wash bay Let me work let me live.
Somers Farm lol yeah it’s no mom n pop operation. 33 tractors. 21 combines 19 grain carts
I really appreciate your 'on the ground' videos, and that you limit your use of drones. Fantastic! You outdid yourself with the closeup of the disks, that was great. I always tell myself I'm only going to watch the first few minutes, but, dang it, it's always so interesting i watch the whole thing.
You don’t know how nice it is to see a farmer breaking up the large clods right after disking . Lots of fathers want the ground to air out longer
Thank you for watching.
I would love to see a tour of this farmers shop.. To see how he stores and maintains all that awesome equipment would be a treat. Love seeing them out in the fields of course, but all of that would not happen without all of that great equipment being serviced and maintained... Must go thru a few gallons of fuel during that single day of running all that equipment!
Awesome Video Presentation Thank you for taking the time to share this , I just don't think People Realize how Hard these Guys and Gals work all year long to Keep the basic commodities we all need to Live , I huge shout out to all the farmers , keep up the great work
It is so interesting listening to Billy explain things, he answers so many questions I have had like how often he has to change disk blades and how deep the disc is running. I remember pulling a four bottom plow and we typically went about 4 or 5 inches deep. It was not even possible to get 20 acres a day, even a long day. Once the field was plowed, in a sandy loam, we would run a disc with less offset than the Wishek and maybe cut 2 or 3 inches deep to smooth the field. We could cover 100 acres in a day but again that was after it took 5 days to plow the field and we never got any deeper than the Wishek and although the tractor was only 60 or so horsepower I am sure the fuel usage per acre then was more than it is now. Thanks for the informative interview, you do a great job and had a great man to interview.
A special episode. Big farming operation. Many high hp tractors and brands. Many acres of beautiful farmland with rich soil. Good interview in the cab of the traked Challenger. Reminds me of a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer. IMHO i like the wheeled tractors as far as appearance goes, they look better those big JD's with big yellow wheels with and huge black rubber tires. Enjoyed very much, thank you BTP 🚜🇺🇸👍
Thank Billy for your commentary. You have a very nice operation!
Its good to hear from the farmer, each make a difference in our lives as consumers. More people need to hear their stories. Thanks!
Enjoy listening to Billy. Love the in cab talks. Great video Jason!
Thank you for watching.
Brilliant as ever, keep up the great work.
I love seeing the attachment cams. Good to see up close how these work, as a non-farmer. I'd like to see more of that into 2020. Great videos as always Jason! (from WNY btw)
Thank you for watching. My fiend Matt at the farm is carrying a GoPro and getting those close ups as he works. You can see S790 combine close ups in corn at ua-cam.com/video/0HpNrWb5vyk/v-deo.html What part of WNY are you from?
@@bigtractorpower Awesome, I've watched every vid for the last 2 years. Bringing in Billy and Matt is a nice human touch behind the machines. I'm just about an hour north of Buffalo NY- so I'm very W in WNY. I think you were more Roch side of WNY if I'm remembering past videos correctly? Lets hope for a dry end of harvest in our area! It's been such a rainy year here. cheers!
@@Kindredmsg Greetings. I'm in north buffalo.
Só máquina qualificada challenger muito bom
Its gonna change these peoples lives when they start using high speed disks. Less overhead and faster planting all around better really cool to see a large outfit start using them, the ground gets worked so much faster with less tractors. He's I think really gonna like them disks., he should at least have someone demo lend one to him to use with that quad-track or challenger. :D
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! That was some amazing footage. Thank you!
Thank you for watching.
I really enjoy watching these farming shows. Keep them coming.
Absolutely 👍 amazing to watch.
Those MT875's are monsters!
Solid tractors.
That is awesome a very beautiful site
TY for sharing
Damn I’d be in my element working there! Heaven.
Yes I would be in hog heaven myself....lol
This was great info from Billy as since i've had spinal surgeries i thought going from my 8970 on triples to a T9.615 on high idler tracks would be a good move but it has been a disaster so i had planned on getting a DT550 out for fall work on demo but we're still at harvest. I'd also wondered about single tracks like the Challenger or the JD
Some set up BTP.
Great commentary by Billy
Great video as usual BTP. 👍👍
That Challenger is one beautiful tractor. 🚜
It is a solid tractor.
Another outstanding video. Always appreciate your knowledgeable commentary and great camera work. In my opinion, your videos are some of the best ag based on UA-cam. Good job.
I have watched this family many times, and i still love to watch this operation. Thanks for the great video.
Wow, just wow!
Economics of farming are what they are... But I would much rather see 10 family farms, than this big corporate farm.
This is a family farm not a corporate farm
What?
So cool that the farmer lets you film with him!!!!love the channel!!!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the farmers sharing their time and machines with BTP.
That disk is very interesting. Decided to Google it and look at it more in depth. Love the track Challenger tractors.
Thank you for an awesome video. The money this farm has in equipment has to be staggering. Just one of those 9620's is a good half million. Would love to visit the farm. Thanks again.
Great video. Love to watch the Wisheks. Far cry from my Dad putting me on a Massey Harris with a 7’ disk. No umbrella.
The good old days 😁. A dairy I grew up had two Massey Harris 44s and two Case 970s. I have always liked Massey Harris.
Maybe the best video yet. Really enjoy when you talk to the farmers
Thank you. I enjoy sharing what they have to say about the machines they run.
Awesome Vid! We have come a long way from my youth on an AC 7040 with a disc!
Challenger MT875E 😍😍😍💪💪💪👍👍👍
It’s a solid tractor.
Since you often get to film at this farm I was thinking maybe doing an interview with the owner or owners about the history of their operation and perhaps a tour as well would make a great video:)
I do plan to do that. I just filmed the farm’s first “tractor” plowing this fall. It is a 1905 Advance Steam Engine.
man that is some real farming,, you hear about big framers,, great videos.. huge equipment
,,
Mike Bonge lol “framers” 😂😂
Thank you for watching.
Impressive fleet!
They cover a bunch of ground in a hurry. I enjoy watching your fleet of tractors and balers.
Grandes máquinas é de encher os olhos
Wow amazing great video thank you
Really amazing farm and tractors at there!
Thank you for watching. They cover a bunch of ground in a hurry.
Jason that is a awesome video ,thank you so much I look forward to your videos
Thank you for watching. Part II showing the seeding just came out tonight.
Supercool video. Thanks.
Que hermosura de maquinas verdad de Dios que me apasiona este trabajo
OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN ID LOVE TO GET IN THE THICK OF IT. I USED TO FARM IN THE TECUMSEH MI AREA CASE 970 AND GLEANER E NO TILL 6 R0W PLANTER AND LOVED IT.WONDERFUL VIDS ONLY IM NOT ON THE SEAT MAKES ME SAD.
Awesome video, these guys do serious farming, thanks very much for this delivery.
👍👍
That’s a littler bigger (a lot bigger)than our operation.Very cool video
Exelente video como siempre con mejor conocedor de maquinaria que existe
Oh wow what absolutely stunning john deere tractors and the biggest acreages i love the challenger too which would be over here in the ik the CLAAS challenger in white green and red and still as stunning as with their big 8900 combines love it all i shall watch this vid over and over well done for the great filming and information from the challenger driver very interesting...regards chris in the UK....
Great video...pulling a disk takes a lot of power.!!!
Yes it does especially with 30 inch blades.
Notice boss man operating the CAT! Glad he's got good sense
It’s a nice tractor.
@@bigtractorpower have you did any videos about the giant new ground offset discs built by the ROME PLOW COMPANY in GA ? I'm sure your viewers would be interested in a factory tour video of the Rome Plow factory assembly plant and the different types of Heavy Duty farm and construction plowing discs that they manufacture .
Great video as always. Good set of discs.
Great as always. I know we have seen a few of the grain bins and was wandering if you would be able to 1 day show the shop and all the bins and grain dumps . thanks
I do plan to feature to 3 million bushel bin system. I hope Billy can take us on a tour this winter.
@@bigtractorpower awesome. I think we all would be in farming heaven if you could mount cameras in everything . and just film it all .. And maybe how they go about hiring people for the farm . thanks.
Is this the 2,800-acre field? These disks make the memory of my Grandpa's 3-row disk seem like a toy now.
It is the same farm. This field is about 8 miles from the 2,800 acre field. I would say they had about 200 acres in this field.
@@bigtractorpower Ok. Thanks for responding BTP.
The action shot on the disk is cool. I really like that angle showing the disk working. Nice job
Thank you for watching. This are impressive tillage machines. The Wishek can really work the ground.
@@bigtractorpower no doubt about it very impressive operation to be able to cover 11k acres
As John Deere oreanted as this operation seems to be these Wishek disks must be something pretty special to have that whole fleet ! Guess I needed to go further as he explains any how ,I just get excited when you put up something new ! The lonely Cat seems to be holding its own ,still has a JD receiver on it though! Was that one of the owners you were with ? Sure has his reasons for the equipment he chooses ,lots of dollars on the line with those decisions! Thanks for the video !
Love your videos man. This one was awesome
Love this video. Even if it is 3 years old
Thank you very nice video
I got to hand it to you that was some good videoI you explained it well keep making the videos thank you 👍🇺🇸
Thank you for watching.
Awesome video! Great work!
Thank you for watching.
Dang, those guys harrowing look like they need new teeth after running across the disked ground.. they ever think about adding a drag to back of disk to help tame the clumps before the harrow hits??
One of the 26ft disks has tine harrows on it. They really do not accomplish much. The field really gets fluffed up by the disks which does make a bumpy ride. The harries really smooth it out as the drills cruise right across it to seed.
@@bigtractorpower i was meaning more for the harrow operators, but i see what you are saying, with as much dirt as they turn, a drag right behind disk wont do much. We have an old 331 deere "plow disk" that does the same thing. Makes it clumpy and hard to drive over right behind.
Awesome machinery with some serious horsepower.
Thank you for watching.
That is a Awesome video. That is a lot of HP on this farm. I like the Challenger 875 the Best.
👍👍
I prefer dah Deere, this is on loan they wanted me to use it as a free b. To see if I like it.
Great video , I felt like I was there !
😁👍👍
Challenge tractor 🚜 powerful Maxum speed dramatic style I would like to own one 1⃣ some day nice program good job.
Ive watched these boys do this a many of times. It's amazing how many acares they can work in a day
Wheat is selling for $5.18 per bushel so if they get 200 bushel per acre off their 11,000 acres they will gross a little over 11 million dollars
You are real lucky if you have 90-100 bu per acre
Here our average yields are 90-100 bu. All this wheat ground will be planted into a second crop of soybeans in June. The soybeans are harvested in October and will produce 40-60 bu depending on how much summer rain occurs.
What you talking about...???? 80 bu would be real good....
Wrong area I guess
Nothing smells better than fresh worked ground.
You ever been hit out there in the field?? Looking at several of your videos it sure looks close to you being hit by the tractor or what ever they are pulling. I understand the video can be very deceiving and the distance is different from what we see in the video and what is reality with you standing there filming. I just keep thinking, hope he don't slip. Thanks for posting and sharing and for goodness sake, be safe out there.
😊👍 AWESOME OPERATION 😍😍😍😍😍
Definitely not minimum tillage 🙂 excellent vid thx!
👍👍 lovely 👍👍
Thanks for the video. The poor guys in the Harrow Tractors got a rough bouncy job to do. Lol
It’s smooth after the Harrow runs over it.
Great Video 👏👏👌🏻👍
Great video. Loved it
Thank you for watching.
Billy and them have it going on great
👍👍
Big farm big money for all those tractors nice stream sir
It is a big investment to get a big job done.
Liked, I know better than to argue with success. Just curious why they don't no-till the wheat into the corn stalks? Or have they ever tried no-till wheat? I'm a regular, so I know they follow wheat with no-till beans. Then corn.. Again, not trying to argue. Just would like their take on no-till wheat behind corn.
There's too much corn residue left on the field if it's not worked up. Both corn and wheat crops are susceptible to Fusarium pathogens so it helps to work up the ground and reduce the amount of available trash for the pathogen to exist on
Great video! That’s a lot of ground being covered! I bet they change their share of bearings during tillage.
I doubt this operation is going to keep a disc around long enough to have to change bearings.
Each tractor operator services the disk they run. There are a few service trucks in the field so they can service or fix and go.
Great Video, those disks do the job, thanks for sharing
In my opinion the Wishek is one of the best tools out there.
Great video!
Outstanding
Thank you for watching.
Awesome camera work on the disk.
Thank you for watching.
Thanks Jason, Billy seems a really nice modest bloke, good luck to him , roughly how many acres does he farm?
Billy is a great person to know. They cover over 30,000 acres.
That’s quite an operation.
It is a neat farm to visit.

Awesome Video!!
Big green. 😁👍👍
Corn stalks away!!!In with the wheat seed.Limestone underneath and drought!
Wow that’s a nice family operation. Thanks for sharing. Have a good week
Thank you for watching. They have been farming in one place since the 1800’s. Hard work has paid off.
Excellent camera 🎬 action B.T.P.,Hollywood can't touch it.HAHA!!.
Thank you for watching. I wish I had a Holly Meiji production team to make a really detailed video.
Bello il Cat!
Great quality big farming there bet it’s been in the family a while
And they also probably Railroaded 20 other families think about it..

Nice looking job 😎
Thank you for watching.
Saludos desde argentina
Thank you for watching.
Great content, would love to see fuel economy numbers of these big machines.
Depends on rpms but around 20 gallons per hour
One thing is sure. Worse than on a CNH
Big tools to tackle big jobs.
Thanks for another beautiful video. Does the seeders put down fertilizer aswell as seeds?
Yes they can mix both together or separate as well.
Nice
Great video
Thank you for watching.
