Dropping Trees And Discing The Field Before A Snowstorm?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- The warm weather in Minnesota is giving everyone Spring Fever! With no snow hardly at all this winter, Alan decided to see if he could get a jump on Spring Field Work and start discing. He hooks up the John Deere Disc to the International 1256 and gives it a Spring tune-up before he heads out to the field. There are still a few spots that seem to have some frost in the ground, but any land he can get worked up now saves time come planting season. Will an impending snowstorm put an end to our jump on spring fieldwork? Alan also does a bit of logging as he spotted a tree that could be dangerous if we leave it standing.

We milk a mix of 33 Jersey, Holstein, Brown Swiss, Guernsey, and Ayrshire cattle. We also enjoy sharing our family's love of Draft Horses and using them for logging and other farm work. Dairy Farming in Minnesota can be challenging, but it's a lifestyle we really enjoy. Subscribe today to watch our small family dairy farm and family grow while continuing to thank our Lord for the blessings we've been given.
We've had a couple of people comment that it's not safe to have a cigarette near a gas tank. What you are seeing is the stick from a tootsie pop, NOT a cigarette. Jen's dad doesn't smoke. Jason gave him a tootsie pop, which is Jen's Dad's favorite. They are completely safe.
That disc'd up ground should help soak up the moisture good.
Nice to see you putting out a lot of videos.
Sending prayers for a decent snow storm for the moisture.
There’s a saying here in Mississippi that when working on rotting trees, a hard hat will protect you well enough to be buried in an open coffin.
Pretty funny !
Nice disking working up great
Hopefully you get more snow. I see you might get up to 2 feet now!
awesome job Alan!
You're right Alan we need moisture badly and are ever getting it. Good thing the plow is still on the tractor.
Hoping you get some moisture/snow, if you get enough snow, maybe you'll have a couple days you can get the snowmobile out for some fun and video.
Thanks for sharing another great video. It's tough to work around it, but hopefully you'll get some snow, should help like you said for the needed moisture. God bless you and your family, stay well be safe.
That 140is a good little tractor
Nice work cutting tree, it fell fast. Disc looks like working great. I've never been on the fields around here this early. Have a great day.
I was cleaning up a brush pile with the chain saw and found a cattle panel. Dulls a chain quick. We lost a heifer a few years ago when a tree fell over in the pasture on her. Freak thing but it happens. We got rid of our offset cutting disc when we bought a wing disc. Like you said, leave the wings up and they dig deep.
When I was growing up it seemed like all we ever cut and split was elm trees back in the day. Darn god firewood lots of heat. God bless
Sounds like you have some pretty rocky ground by the way disc is bouncing good wood cutting weather enjoy video 😊
That's nothing, fields here in WNY, that as my Dad put it, " you can walk for a year and never touch dirt"
Tks for sharing. It's nice to get alittle field work done early. This is Friday the 22. We got 9 inches of snow with more coming. Temperatures are down in the 30's. Please be careful out cutting wood alone.. its like being in the silo. It's safer to have someone else with you.
Only problem with running with the wings up is when you put them down for finish work you will notice that the mains have worn more, and you eventually end up ridging the centers. But you have to replace all of them for even disking.🙄 We went to an offset for primary pass, and then a BWA with wings down, and roller behind it. Everyone has different situations. Great video, and near perfect drop on the tree!👍
Keep up the great work and awesome videos!!
Thank you.
another great video
Good video i hope you 😊 get some rain or snow but some day i will own a John Deere 140 h3 I own a John Deere 110 and a John Deere 112 electric lift and a John Deere 112 hyd but it needs a lot of work the other 2 run pretty good keep them videos coming and I will keep giving them a 👍👍🇺🇲
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊
Very nice job and God bless y'all
Great video
When the conditions are oké you gotta be there,greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
I remember growing up in Southern Wisconsin before the Dutch Elm disease came through. We had three big white elms for shade in our front yard. Their trunks were at least 2 foot thick and they were about 50+ foot tall. The one grew up leaning over about 15 degrees. My grandmother said that the men used to tie horses up to it used in threshing season. She said it grew that way leaning from the horses pulling on it, but it grew to over 50 maybe 60 foot tall in my day regardlless. Then the Dutch Elm beatles infested them one by one and they were cut down and burned in a futile effort to prevent the spread of the disease. I remember scenes of big elms everywhere along our road to town being cut and burned until there were no big elms anywhere leaving only the oaks, maples and a few hickories for shade trees.😢
Oh, and if it means anything our barn is built out of elm with tamarack rafters. Elm is quite the wood.
I thought about the wings on the disk, but I realized they added weight to help weight it down
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us
With the good weather here,, my farm project is the chicken coop, and replace some boards on the corn crib , other 2 cribs are round wire, and grind feed,,, have a great day everyone on trinity farms 😎
Sounds like my day only replace 🐔🐔🐔 w 🐄🐄🐄
....Btw. not sure if you guys collect mushrooms, look around those dead elms for morels....they're the shape of little Xmas trees, fry them up in butter. They're awesome. Just starting to pup up in Ohio.
You better get Juston IH, God Bless
Hello from turkey 👋 I love watching your videos. I am also a farmer......
a good snow will help rot in those corn stalks
I don't think I could disk yet. We have a little frost in ground still.
1) I was trying to look at your new evaporator with the pans on to see about the chimney is it needs to be lowered! 20 I was going to say, if you're going to plant corn the disk are doing a good job, and maybe you wouldn't have to mold board it! you beat me to it!
Alan, you have many tractors, which one is your favorite?
The IH 1256
That looks pretty dry where you disced for this early in the year though I don't know what's normal for your area. Hopefully it will allow better absorbtion of moisture.
It's extremely dry here. We are desperate for moisture.
Well, if you take the pick up over to the neighbor's with the grinder, I call 'shotgun.'
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Do you do any cash crop any grain, or is it all for cattle feed?
It's for cattle feed
I have a question. Do you always work the field in the same direction? Are you discing it the same way as the corn was planted? Is there a reason? Has it anything to do with the slant of the hill/land?
I am discing the same way the corn was planted, but when we go with the harrow, we will go at an angle or sometimes round and round. Mainly to get it as smooth as possible. Sometimes we will work the hills a little differently.
What was the big tree you cut down?
Poplar
@@trinitydairy thank you.
Is that a mirror on the fender?
Yeah
@@trinitydairy cool thanks
Is it loud in the cab
That cab is a little loud.
Did not like seeing the cigarette as he was putting gas in the mower with the little one there
I had to chuckle at your comment. My Dad doesn't smoke. You were seeing the sucker stick from the tootsie pop that Jason gave him. Tootsie Pops are my dad's favorite. They were completely safe.
lol I’m sorry it’s a tootsie pop stick
How do you deal w chronic kickers? I don't mean dancing around or swatting, I mean KICKING. Even when not being worked w. She's been great for 6-7 mos. but now she's an #$&"*#@+
pouring gas and smokin' a cjg isn't OSHA approved
How about sucking on a tootsie pop, and pouring gas?
