Hey Rice farmer. Why put a short chain round the frame instead of the top link, and connect the lower links and lift back to the yard.
Nice to see someone who clearly loves his work!
Thanks Leo! Hope you enjoy watching.
-Matthew
You are very entertaining and educational! Wish people would take notice!!
Thanks Matt, I appreciate that.

Matthew: Why is there so much running in this episode?
Me: #cropfit
😂😂😂😂😂
Man, cropfit is getting to me. I need a break from cropfit! Ha!
-M.
A thought on your broken chisel if this problem happens again. Leave the two link arms hooked up, take the top link off your tractor and put in a chain, and run the chain around the up part of the frame to get it back to the shop.
I have done that a few times..now I check for cracks!
Metal fatigue and then the repair weld is hard / brittle, both problems are hard to get away from without a lot of extra work. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Paul, we’re going cut out that entire vertical square tubing and replace it with that piece I got at All Metals.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv wrote the comment then watched the complete video, A lot of strain at that point of pull. Keep on planting and tilling.
Always wanted to know about rice fields. Thanks For sharing.
My pleasure Dyana! Thank you for the message.
-Matthew
I farm vicariously through you guys. Love it. Keep it up.
Very enlightening Matt. Looking forward to the next Eps. 👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you very much, George! I’ll have a music video up Tuesday and another episode up on Sunday.
-M.
Nice video. I would have liked to see the repair done on the chisel plow. Thanks
Hey Matthew, when I first saw the notification picture I thought that you and Pops were going to show off by backing around the field. I would be very impressed. Nice video man.
Hi John! That would be hilarious, hooking a chisel plow up backwards to do the field in reverse. There should be like some farming competition with that. Thanks for the message.
-M.
Thanks for another great video. Things always break at the worst time.
Hi Matt...
Great to see you getting the tillage work done...
Suggest when your welder guy comes in, get him to do some serious gusset plating with low hydrogen rods on that linkage plough... Sufficient gusset plate's will fix the issue of the cracking...
Stay safe...🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Thumbs up up there and thumbs up here, double thumbs up! Love your work as a farmer and your work as a video content creator. Yes, the real one, not just a youtuber. You're doing a very nice work, kudos!
wow thanks for beautiful scenery 😄😄
Glad you enjoyed, rice cook! Where do you cook rice?
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv rice cook from South Korea. I'm really interested in rice and rice food. I make rice noodle, meal, bread, and etc.
Very interesting! Do you have a cookbook? I’d love to try rice bread.
@@Ricefarmingtv Not yet, but I'll upload my rice bread recipe soon. check it out later :D
Tan tna .......You are enjoying. Nice video.
Hi Satnam! Enjoying very much, yes! Thanks for the message?
-M.
Not long til that international ricer is running on slicks.
Gorilla Glue #4 is one of my favorite plants.
What kind of terps does Gorilla Glue #4 have?
-M.
Looking good ! I would be interested in seeing how that repair is done on the 3 point chisel plow. It was also educational how Pops did the "bunny hop" with farm equipment. I think I counted a total of 3 raindrops that week. Maybe 4.
A backwards chisel, prepping the yard for grass. But no laughing matter :(. 8" that is deep. So why is rain different then the water you get from the thermolito after Bay. Thanks Jb.
We're you going to till a second time any way?
Glad you make rice and love your videos and the Blancorillio video that brought me here. Loved the live stream the other day. Wear your hat! :)
I like the mix of serious info but the humor injections...lol
Nice work. I don't think it's going to rain. Not much in the forecast that I see. Good luck sir!
Like to see the weld repair job. Waiting for the crop duster pilot interview with Juan Brown.
Hi Michael, I’ll have the weld job up later this week! I’m also looking forward to JB’s interview with an ag pilot. I hope I have time to hang with him around the rice fields.
-M.
In my world that no show employee would be fired for not calling in
Hello, you should idle a minute to slow down the turbo before stopping the engine, after full throttle!
Great video. Please can you show the repair of the chisel plough taking place. It would be very interesting to see how the steel is cut out and the new piece of steel is welded in place.
On our clay soils in Texas, 1 1/2" rain would not even wet the inside of the Montmorillonite clay structure. No need to chisel again. Would need more rain to breakup the clods made by plowing. I had two 11 yd train track rails hooked in tandem to breakup the clods even more and level after disking.
Very interesting, Robert! You must have a real low moisture in the soil already? I mean it sounds like the clods are hard as rocks. We definitely don’t want our soil to dry too much before we get the discs in because they wont break down as well. There’s a balance but for us-1.5” is way too much.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv Our clay holds lots of water between the clay particle structures. This is why it expands and can hold 3.5 inches per foot. If we air dry the soil we have hydroscopic moisture loss...that is why we no till and strip till. If only we had your water, 17,000 lbs /ac of corn would be the normal with the addition of 20" of irrigation.
Very interesting. What’s your water source? Colorado River?
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv This area is What is Known as the Western High Plains that starts south of Lubbock TX and goes to the NW corner of Nebraska. It is several hundred miles wide and has the largest fresh water deposit in the US. Billions of acre feet of fossil water has been pumped for irrigation in the last 100 years.
Great vid RF!!!!!!
hopefully you have some bolts and some kind of spacers to bolt thru the ripped off section so it can be easily rewelded on to the new piece. without any alignment issues. or perhaps the weld repair guy will just add a top and bottom bracket to hold the spacing while reinstalling it..
Dammit Rick lol... I love musical tractors
Just wondering if many farmers around you use disk ripper like a caseih 875 or are the conventional chiesel plows better for your soil types..in corn country the disk ripper are pretty popular.
I haven’t seen any around. But it’s possible. We like the chisel plows because they can get a little deeper on the first pass. That helps air out and dry down the soil.
-M.
Great video matthew. Really enjoyed it. Around here an inch pf rain youd be back in the field in a day. Hope it dont delay you very much. Have a quick question, is there any experiements or trials with trying no til rice?
Just asking, no critique here, why did you choose a replacement square tube Vs laminating new metal over the affected area?
Is there any performance difference between a pulled chisel plow and a 3 point chisel plow? Like the videos.
Matt, when did you decide or know that you were gonna become a farmer? Great video keep up the great work! Also, the weld failed due to porosity(pin holes)that you can see all throughout the weld and looked as if it was welded downhill vs uphill a vertical weld is stronger than a downhill weld. Suggest you really clean it up with a grinder and get to good steel then lay some dimes in there to get that man back to full strength.
When you crack a 4"x 4" steel tube, that's just nature's way of saying you need to weld in at least a new section of 4" x 6". Or, weld some gusset plates around the failure points.
Great points, Ed! We will certainly be following these tips when repairing the chisel plow. I should have that video up sometime late this week or on Sunday.
-M.
Another great vid!
Will we see Tristan in the next Rice Farming TV episode?? Maybe he is social distancing from work!
Hahaha! “Social distancing from work”-just doing his part. You a buddy of his or just remember him from past episodes?
-M.
I remember him from another episode. After you mentioned checking in with Frankie and Larry, I was like, who is missing? Ah yes, Tristan. I can’t remember how old I am, but I can remember your employees names. I am a weirdo. Keep up the good work!
Why didn't you lower the transport wheels, to take back to the shop, and pull back wards?
Nice video, enjoyed every minute
Dang that guy at the metal shop is good lookin!🥵
Just order some steel at all metals and pick it up. He’ll be there.
-M.
Rice Farming TV that’s my husband 😂💗
Haha! No way-that’s hilarious. No need to order metal. How did you find out he was on here?
Rice Farming TV a mutual friend told us about it!
The benefit from employees who sleep in or don't show up is that they're not breaking equipment. Maybe they should get a bonus for that...
Mr. Buckhorn, that is a great way at looking at it.
-M.
How many days until you put some seed in the ground?
we had one break apart and the top is what broke out so we just hooked a chain to it and lifted it up
That’s a better idea! A few people have recommended that strategy rather than pulling the plow out backwards with the tractor. Thanks for the insight. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again but if it does will do it that way.
-M.
Morning from WI, when your fields are flooded, do you have a large waterfowl population? Do you hunt them?
I have asked Matt that same question. Matt does not hunt. And he does not lease the flooded fall fields to hunters. Once they start flood up for growing rice much of the waterfowl migration in the Pacific Fly is over for the summer. There may be some resident birds, but the bulk of them have headed north for the summer.
However, in the fall, once the rice is harvested California, rice farmers are not allowed to burn the rice fields to get rid of the fields of rice straw. They have to disc the fields and flood with water to aid in decomposition of the straw. It's a bunch of extra steps to rid the fields of the rice straw. He has several videos explaining how they prep their fields for winter decomposition.
However, those flooded fields are full of rice leftover from harvest. During the fall migration waterfowl love those fields. Look back through Matt's winter video's there are lots of incredible video showing ten's of thousands ducks, and geese. Plus other species of birds that like flooded fields. As a duck hunter myself, it's awesome to see it. Even my dog will watch those videos and get excited.

Come my country Guyana see how we plant rice here its whole lot different
Hi Max I would love that. What stage is your rice crop at right now?
-M.
Sorry. About havig to deal with L.E.1, hope he finds his head.
He should look in the rear, just below his back.
You can just attatch a chain to the top of the 3 point quickhitch and the square tubing that broke and lift it up to get er home.
Tell the guys that pull the wheeled chisel to make a larger headland to turn on, less backing up, time, fuel money.
Hahaha! Late employee number one is still looking. Thank you for the tip about getting the chisel out of the field. A few people have made the same comment. Will do that next time. I hope there’s not a next time.
-M.
I don't know your soil but you said you are going to disk the fields so you shouldn't need to plow again.
I used to repair equipment for the company I work for and the guys using it where animals with it. You need to use plates to help with more welds not over the same area. Steel will get very hard and will get brittle and break.
How many shank chisel plow is that
Mathew took his Chevy to the levi , hope the levi is still dry tomorrow.
15:54. Is that a piece of your plow in the field behind you?
No, its the dirt that has been ploughed by the chisel
A short chain on the toplink mount, dont really wanna backup any plow 😬
Newwww video 👌🏽👌🏽
Getting caught up, my friend.
-M.
Lots of ground to cover thats a lot of land hay btw how's the corn lol you planted
You should put the jd on one of the Chisel plows
Yo, great videos. You have an arsenal of equipment. Question: Why doesn't your farm shine and wax your machines? They cost so damn much money. Don't they deserve some pruning?
The spacing of the front duals is interesting around the 18:30 mark. Can you comment on that?
When do we see the land palnes ?
Next time just lower the 3pt, wrap a chain around the top of the frame and top link and lift the 3pt back up.
Yes! Great advice. Next time will do it Carolina farming style. A couple people have made the same recommendation. I hope the chisel plow doesn’t break again but if it does will do it this way.
-M.
That clay soil is hard on equipment
Where does your water come from, Shasta Lake or Lake Oroville ?
The Thermolito Afterbay, which is downstream from Lake Oroville. Here, Blancolirio described it all in 2017, when he introduced his subscribers to Matt Sligar and California rice farming: ua-cam.com/video/0lmXxp2Bw-g/v-deo.html.
@@lizj5740 Thanks, I will check out that video !!
@@X-OR_ You're welcome.
Do all 3-points sag??????
U back
I’m back! I’ve been working on the rice fields too hard.
-M.
You should of bought the whole tube. Probably cheaper in the long run.
We did didn’t we? It’s going to fit right between the angled and horizontal pieces.
-Matthew
Rice Farming TV oh I was just talking about they charge you to cut it and those square tubes come in 20 ft sometimes it's cheaper and less running to the store to buy another piece. No biggie just throwing that out there. Nice video tho. 👍
Oh! I see what you mean. Yeah, Jerry could just cut the big piece back at the farm and we would have the spare for some other project. Yeah that’s a good thought. Next time I’ll have to ask how much the full20 feet is versus cutting a section.
What is the average working hours and pay for running tractors now?
Our 10 +/- hectares of corn with a 6 row planter
Do you speak Spanish, Matt?
I speak Português but not Spanish. My wife is from Brazil.
-M.
This guy reminds me a lot of walterriffic.
Hey buddy
Buddy! What’s up?
-M.
u need a better welder.... on this 3 point, this is not welding, this is GLUEing
You’re right. Pops would also agree with you and he’s the one doing those touchup welds. Ha ha.
-M.
Do you go to church??
Please stop calling it ploughing 🙏🏼,type ploughing in on youtube and look what it is,call it what it is,cultivating 👍🏼😉
West SJV Termology, but where I was, Plowing was anything working the ground 6” or deeper, cultivating was 2” or less anything in between was done with a disc
