The crazy lady vid was the one that started me down the rabbit hole of watching the adventures of Duffy and Yenko, gotta say it’s been a fun ride so far
Just took some of that journey too! Came for the crazy lady, stayed to fondly remember how nice it was to wake up early to the smell of money on the fields when i lived in the countryside.. And gawk a little at the daily hardships of a US farmer i guess :)
I grew up in Iowa, tremendous respect for farming. Taught to always wave and smile at each farmer, usually the best people in the world. Since have moved to Texas, lived through the wonderful power outage you referenced. You are spot on my brother! Keep up the cab rants, I love it!
Was talking to a couple bikers once, told them that green outfit your wearing may work in the city or when it’s dark. But look around you out here, everything is green, you’re just wearing camouflage.
I love how people think that hazard lights mean “go ahead and pass me” when in reality it is a warning/to get your attention so you don’t hit that vehicle. Like farm equipment or idk, a large truck preparing to back in somewhere?
That wasn’t too bad with the bicyclist. In my area, they tried to have some big bike race, but they routed it all on Farm to Market roads during harvest. That one turned out bad since the farm equipment had the right away and refused to yield to the bikes. And the riders weren’t smart enough to not get in front of equipment. There wasn’t anything they could do since they were on FM roads.
I know, I live in in a city, but I’d love to move to a farming area because I like watching farm equipment at work. It’s just satisfying to me, when I visit Michigan every time, I try to stop to watch tractors at work.
I'm a city boy and moved right in between 3 farms don't bother me a bit and love my neighbors even helped birth calves in the fields. People forget without farmers, truckers, sanitation and alot of other blue collar jobs life is over as we know it.
I bicycled through Belgium and seeing these 8 wheeled tractors with spreaders in tow driving right down main street. It was really cool. I always give way to anyone who is on the clock when out cycling. Happy farming
Hey just wanted to say thank you for your hard work. You and other hard working farmers are the reason we can just walk in a store and grab whatever we want. Society today is backwards and everything bad is good now especially selfish actions. No one thinks about others it's all about self satisfaction. God bless you and thank you.
Not everywhere. Not everyone. Not even close. It's the illusion that very bad people want the rest to buy into. I'll never go into agreement with the doom and gloom. the pit of Hell liberal cities are consuming themselves. People are far better than given credit for being, or the corrupt liberal press would be able to plaster "alt-right conservative extremists" all over headlines genuinely, for real, instead of having to make up lies all the time. Instead the truth is it's freak-cult leftists identifying as deer-people or rock-moss who are harming others, shooting stuff up. Deluded weirdos like the same merchants-of-chaos press people. Wouldn't live in their world for five minutes! And God bless you. For real, truly.
I do like how you always have your lights on when needed & even upgraded the old tractor to LEDs. Many farmers in my area can't ever seem to be bothered with working hazard lights.
I try not to wish ill on others karma being a bitch, but I think we all would have smiled a bit if the biker would have eaten a little asphalt while snap chatting 😂 Forgive me
@@alexmikhael5061 since we have no evidence that multiple other universes exist, I’m just going to say I am an Apache attack helicopter and can do WHATEVER I WANT. there’s more evidence for that than a multiverse
Man you got way more patience then I do. But honestly I think people up here in western Maine are much more friendly to farmers and loggers ETC. when I had cancer I went to Dana farber cancer institute in Boston and driving in Boston I thought I was going to have a stroke lol.
I don't see a whole lot to begin with normally, but the few times I have they've usually had enough common sense to pull to the side and let other traffic through. Also in Eastern Iowa. Only a couple hours from Waterloo actually
Duffy, you & the puppy are so darn interesting to watch I won't miss your daily videos. If grama needs her dentures cleaned I quickly sandblast them 😅🤣😂 then back to your video!!! Your parents raised a good son, a respectful citizen, & a dedicated steward of the land! The soil looks so beautiful after you disc it, I just want to jump into it & breathe in the fresh scent of the soil!
Man bless your heart. I just googled tractor speed limits and I have never seen so many suggested searches on my screen at one time all of them phrased like somebody mad that a tractor was going slow.
Yea I don't understand it either just finished planting corn for the night and come in to watch you do the same! Farming gotta love it to do it! Great videos buddy
We have a guy that rides a bike all the time where I live and he will not let you pass him. I just bought a new hay Tedder and it has a spring assist to push the arms out just enough for gravity to take over when unfolding. That might work on your marking arm. As always enjoy your videos.
Put a train horn on your tractor, 🤣. It could be worse I guess, I saw a video someone posted a while back where there was a bunch of bicyclists riding together and taking up most of the lane they were in. Not giving a hoot about the other vehicles on the road.
I know the feeling going to state parks with big equipment we had that Steiger cougar with a 24-foot Krause disc and our corn planter tractor was a 44 30 with duels saddle tanks and its 6 row John Deere 7000 what a pain in the neck the worst one was a 30-foot Great Plains grain drill and a 44-30 I think that folder up to 18 feet wide some of the bridges in the park or twenty feet wide
Rant away. We all need to do it. Plus, you do it in a good manner. Glad you have an idea of what is going on in this world and here in the States. Like to see the parking in the towns when you grab lunch/drinks or such. Yanko oh yanko, "how you going to clean that up?"
People bother me, could not have said it better myself. Cyclists like that who don't realise they are on a road with other vehicles usually face a karma moment at some point. Great videos buddy, thanks for sharing
In my state you can literally be “old enough to proficiently operate farm equipment on a public roadway.” I was 10 running a tractor down rural roads all summer and fall. Best years of my life. Saw deputies all the time and was never bothered. This would’ve been 1994ish.
my 7200 marker lockups were turned 180 degrees to be used as bumber stops for the markers but we had that tool to tighten that big nut that you lost so if you only hand tighten it may not work too well
Farming in city limits people think the equipment needs to be trailered in and think they have the right away. The new tractors are fast on pavement, scared me the first time I was in high gear not gonna lie.
They do the same thing to truck drivers, I feel like the public needs to be educated on how to drive around tractor trailers and similar equipment. Seems like it should have been taught in drivers Ed. Love your vids man.
Sadly, Mass doesn't have exclusive rights to Mass-holes, they are everywhere mate. As a former Cat 4 road and MTB racer in the early days of NORBA most cyclists aren't cyclists. We have the same problem in the boating/maritime world ( and I mean world)...everyday self-important joe's with no clue about anything.
I have been to France, and a lot of the roads I saw are historically old and narrow. Jens Voigt a pro cyclist from Germany who has raced in both the Tour De France and Tour of California was asked what the biggest difference was. He response was "The width of the road, it is very wide in America". When I was there I was wondering how cyclist train there as the roads did look real narrow for both cars and cyclists.
My neighbor built this own folding 8 row with a JD 7000 he basically took some ideas and designed his own since he got 2 brand new 7000 planters for free. When folded it's the same exact width as it would be with just 4 rows he made it so he put 2 more rows on each side and they told in basically a full 180° so when in transport they sit infront of the normal 4 rows and then folded they swing out 180° and completely straight with the solid 4 rows it's one hell of a planter he made and it looks completely stock! I think John Deere basically made the same thing and I am sure he took alot of the designs and ideas from it but instead of buying it new and wasting the two brand new ones he had he decided just to build it himself. It works really well especially on the super narrow dirt and minimum maintenance roads. He's ran it for over 25 years now and he's never had a problem or even stress cracks on the original 7000 frame!
Greetings from a former dairy farmer in Northeast Pennsylvania. I love to see a guy getting it done without all the modem tech. It takes me back to my days (70s- early 90s) of how we did it. Plow disc, maybe harrow, plant, chop, pick. My favorite part of farming besides the animals was doing the field work. And yes, people do bother me as well
A jd 7000 8 row planter with kelderman fold would work for you, it would be the same transport width as your four row while having 2 rows on each end fold forward above the tongue, ours was a manual fold it worked great but they did offer hyd fold. Keep up the good work!
One thing I like about the state of Texas is that most 2 lane roads in rural areas are designated as Farm roads with warning signs to inform drivers....and most equipment operators will pull over when safe to do so to allow backed up traffic to get around..
I grew up in S. Texas . Did a lot of biking there. A lot of the Farm market roads also had a small shoulders, that does not exist up North as most of roads up North are former carriage trails that date back to colonial times. Any way lots of room to pull over one side for every body on Texas FM roads. The routes I would pick to ride on would have shoulders so I would be out of traffic. I don't know what drivers ed is like in Texas now, but back in the day when I took drivers ed it was always stressed tractors had the right of way period. As things evolve from rural to more urban, not sure if that is stressed any more.
lunch and dinner = LINNER love to see the vids im up north of you in Vermont and the farmers are working hard love the content and i agree with you about the emissions
Hey man just found you today great video! As I was watching I put 2 and 2 together and found out your 30 minutes away from me! Those bikers can be tough, especially in your area!! Keep up the great work and happy to subscribe
If you turn the marker locks 180 degrees after you unlock them it will hold them out and let them fall. I put a lot of acres on a 8 row version of that planter many years ago.
One good thing about those def. Containers is that they make good oil jugs especially for hydraulic fluid . Some of those can be in tricky spots to fill . Like a kabuto 65 loader hydro fill spout is on the side hard to hold funnel
You have the right answer. The lock is supposed to be set so the big bend is the stop when lifting the 7000 planter. I had a 6r30 7000. Make sure your remote speed is slow to prevent breaking it. I new have a 6r30 7200 conservation frame planter. Different system.
You and larsons are my 2 favorite and got to for farming. You for the old school farming and great content. Them for what are they going to break next lol. Nys and vt allow passing farm tractors when safe on double yellow. Which to me means straight and flat not hills and curves but to other it seems that .5 secs they can save passing on the blind curve is worth it. Also you mentioned wanting to respond to comments. Another youtuber i watch writes some not common questions down then answers them in his vids. Just an idea. Keep up the great content.
I just up graded my 4 row 7000 for a kinze 3000 6 row love the monitor, if you're going to upgrade for your area I would only be looking at a kinze fold up , my six row is about 20' then you have the height of your markers to add to the difficulty in tight spots.
Our rds here in England are full of lycra clad men that love to watch their mates backside🤣 They seem to have a problem with anyone else using the rds that's not on a bike.
Lol 😂 Bang on These cyclist are silly I my self cycle though DO respect the tax paying motorists 🤗.. The cyclist you refer to are just egotistical Lycra prat’s
I love scaring the shit out of those Lycra losers...roll up on them take my foot off the gas and let the 600hp Cummins and my Jake brake do the talking....
Duffy, I've been watching your channel for a year now..how many fields do you work? I haven't seen a rectangular one yet. Your roads scare me, even though I grew up on a Wis dairy farm...
I'm not a fan of emissions. I know that they do help, but I prefer the older equipment. For the same price as that filter you were talking about I found a John Deere 4020 and still have some cash for the fluids and filters. The highest fuel got here for diesel I 3.09 right now.
James L Coble, There are a lot of the old 20 series John Deere’s working in my area. A lot of them have been restored because they were in the 11,000 to 15,000 hour range. That was an awesome series. 3020, 4020, 4520, 5020, 7520. Nice old iron.
Tremendous tractors, all I ever used working on a farm through high school. Farmer had two 4020 one 4620 three 5020 and a 7520. The 7520 was the best to drive. The most modern tractor he had was the 4040
I completely agree about the emissions and how far 7,000 dollars can go I got my j i case 930 comfort King for 1,800 and my j i case 811b For 1, 400 and both of them have 3-point hydraulics and a front loader although I took the front loader off the 800 cuz I only need one with a front loader the 930 has about 83 horsepower and the 811b has about 63 to 65 horse power and my Massey Ferguson 760 combine about 1,000 for the combine and two headers you can get some real good equipment for not too much
Duffy, i have workt with a side loading garbagetruck, the driver was lowering the loading arm and a byclist shot right through the truck and the curve. Only because he didn't want to slow down
If I remember correctly, from when we had a 7000 Deere planter, the latch.that holds the marke in transport position, is to be turned 180 degrees when in field position. This lets the end of the latch, opposite of the latching end, act as somewhat of a spring, when the marker is raised. This may help a little with the markers going down, but may not depending on what size sidehill you're on.
Here in Quebec we have a unique way to name them in our language that I can’t find a translation , because the main word is WOUND I’d we translate that word but in that context it doesn’t mean that ... French language can be complex .
@@MmeHyraelle yeah they are pain in the butt , as I say here in Quebec we speak French but we have our own slang French to describe some situations or something or expressions that doesn’t exist in French from France , my father is perfect bilingual and he don’t know how to translate that expression CRISS DE PLAIE . the word CRISS is swearing , in Quebec when we swears we use christianisme words but not exactly pronounced the exact word ( CRISS = CHRIST = JESUS CHRIST ) and PLAIE is WOUND , but in that context WOUND can mean as you say pain in the butt . And DE mean those things or persons that you refer to . Well French is known to be the most complex language to learn, in English you 3 PAST , PRESENT and FUTURE, for the verbs, in French we have 30 possibilities.
@@snipersl270 lollll no , as I was explaining here in Quebec we speak French but it’s not the exact the same French as in France, yes we do mostly speak France French but 75 % of us speak Quebec French that is a slang French , when tourists from France come in Quebec they have really hard time to understand us . In the context context of cyclists we use the word CRISS ( ok yes it’s christ ) but in that phrase it can also mean swearing, because we also use that TABARNAK DE PLAIE ( tabernacle ) …. Next week I will visit a friend he might know a better translation for that .
I love how the beginning of the video is "if we get our tractors up to the speeds like they have in Europe... that'd be sweet" and mid way through it's "DEF fluid is choking diesel out... waste of money and useless" LOL I completely understand the frustration of government but EPA stuff isn't the problem. Honestly it's the lobbyists restricting the EPA but yeah. Getting it done, Bud! Nice work and vids!
The cyclists are the number one reason I no longer drive through your town. Adds more time to my commute but I can’t handle them riding 2 and 3 abreast making it difficult to pass and when you do they often flip the bird. One even tried to kick my car. The sense of entitlement in this area of Massachusetts is mind blowing.
Not agreeing with what the cyclist did, but riding 2 abreast is a safety measure for groups of 3 or more and not a sense of entitlement. If there was a line of 5 cyclist single file and a car tries to pass without knowing that is 5 people long it could be a risk to both the riders and the driver. That is the primary reason for riding 2 wide. 3 wide is not okay. Just speaking from a cyclist in a farming community and family. I have no problem slowing down and waiting until it is safe. But the moment he passed the cyclist on a blind corner was also unsafe and technically illegal. It happens to me a lot and I don't get bent out of shape about it. People just need to understand the laws and follow them.
A yes nice that you mention the Euro tactors being faster, Fendt was basicly who started the 50-55kph (~33mph) wich now really became the standart and most newer modles of the larger midsize are up to 60-65kph wich is ~40mph
Tractor collectors are starting to kill the market on older machines. The 50, 55, and 60 series are getting to be high dollar anymore. BTW- love that dog!
3:56 that stick was prolly an aiming spot for a bow hunter or ....sumpin.... set out there in the field at 50 30 or 100 or something yards, for quick siteing... but... I am just guessing ;)
That's the only bad thing you can say about the 7000 series planters is that the mechanism that controls which arm goes up and down likes to get stuck. You might try pulling it out of whichever side it is nearer and shooting it with some lithium grease and see if that helps. *edit* What do you lube your seed with, Graphite or Talc?
People always seems to have trouble accepting farmers on the roads but they want their products on their table a few hours later. And there will always be idiots in every country and culture, after working on a milkfarm for 18 years I very much appreciate farmers all over the world. Cheers from Sweden!

Was talking to a couple bikers once, told them that green outfit your wearing may work in the city or when it’s dark. But look around you out here, everything is green, you’re just wearing camouflage.

I love how he pulled put his little phone to record you like somehow that would matter once he's been turned into ground beef by your equiptment
One thing I like about the state of Texas is that most 2 lane roads in rural areas are designated as Farm roads with warning signs to inform drivers....and most equipment operators will pull over when safe to do so to allow backed up traffic to get around..
There aren’t too many places for a tractor pulling implements to pull over on the narrow MA country roads.
I grew up in S. Texas . Did a lot of biking there. A lot of the Farm market roads also had a small shoulders, that does not exist up North as most of roads up North are former carriage trails that date back to colonial times. Any way lots of room to pull over one side for every body on Texas FM roads. The routes I would pick to ride on would have shoulders so I would be out of traffic. I don't know what drivers ed is like in Texas now, but back in the day when I took drivers ed it was always stressed tractors had the right of way period. As things evolve from rural to more urban, not sure if that is stressed any more.
I looooove the American flag on the disc harrow, that’s awesome
lunch and dinner = LINNER love to see the vids im up north of you in Vermont and the farmers are working hard love the content and i agree with you about the emissions
Hey man just found you today great video! As I was watching I put 2 and 2 together and found out your 30 minutes away from me! Those bikers can be tough, especially in your area!! Keep up the great work and happy to subscribe
If you turn the marker locks 180 degrees after you unlock them it will hold them out and let them fall. I put a lot of acres on a 8 row version of that planter many years ago.
One good thing about those def. Containers is that they make good oil jugs especially for hydraulic fluid . Some of those can be in tricky spots to fill . Like a kabuto 65 loader hydro fill spout is on the side hard to hold funnel
You have the right answer. The lock is supposed to be set so the big bend is the stop when lifting the 7000 planter. I had a 6r30 7000. Make sure your remote speed is slow to prevent breaking it. I new have a 6r30 7200 conservation frame planter. Different system.
You and larsons are my 2 favorite and got to for farming. You for the old school farming and great content. Them for what are they going to break next lol. Nys and vt allow passing farm tractors when safe on double yellow. Which to me means straight and flat not hills and curves but to other it seems that .5 secs they can save passing on the blind curve is worth it. Also you mentioned wanting to respond to comments. Another youtuber i watch writes some not common questions down then answers them in his vids. Just an idea. Keep up the great content.
I just up graded my 4 row 7000 for a kinze 3000 6 row love the monitor, if you're going to upgrade for your area I would only be looking at a kinze fold up , my six row is about 20' then you have the height of your markers to add to the difficulty in tight spots.
Our rds here in England are full of lycra clad men that love to watch their mates backside🤣
They seem to have a problem with anyone else using the rds that's not on a bike.
Try passing bikes in a fire truck. Pulling to the right and stopping apparently dose not pertain to bicycles.
Lol 😂
Bang on
These cyclist are silly
I my self cycle though DO respect the tax paying motorists 🤗..
The cyclist you refer to are just egotistical Lycra prat’s
Meet a group of cyclist's they won't budge cars are the problem not them
I love scaring the shit out of those Lycra losers...roll up on them take my foot off the gas and let the 600hp Cummins and my Jake brake do the talking....
@@Only-one-life-68 you think people who ride bikes don’t pay taxes?
Telling Yenko to get the rock.......then saying "you're no help". Funny. People bother me..........you're a wild dude!!!!!
Duffy, I've been watching your channel for a year now..how many fields do you work? I haven't seen a rectangular one yet. Your roads
scare me, even though I grew up on a Wis dairy farm...
Realy nice. I love Ur Job.
Really enjoy all your videos and people bother me to
Had the same model planter when farming with back in the day. I think 6400 was 6 row and draw bar connected
the one dislike must be the bike bro
The 14 dislikes must be his friends
now there are 25 of them
I'm not a fan of emissions. I know that they do help, but I prefer the older equipment. For the same price as that filter you were talking about I found a John Deere 4020 and still have some cash for the fluids and filters. The highest fuel got here for diesel I 3.09 right now.
James L Coble, There are a lot of the old 20 series John Deere’s working in my area. A lot of them have been restored because they were in the 11,000 to 15,000 hour range. That was an awesome series. 3020, 4020, 4520, 5020, 7520. Nice old iron.
Tremendous tractors, all I ever used working on a farm through high school. Farmer had two 4020 one 4620 three 5020 and a 7520. The 7520 was the best to drive. The most modern tractor he had was the 4040
Thank you for making these awesome videos bro
I completely agree about the emissions and how far 7,000 dollars can go I got my j i case 930 comfort King for 1,800 and my j i case 811b For 1, 400 and both of them have 3-point hydraulics and a front loader although I took the front loader off the 800 cuz I only need one with a front loader the 930 has about 83 horsepower and the 811b has about 63 to 65 horse power and my Massey Ferguson 760 combine about 1,000 for the combine and two headers you can get some real good equipment for not too much
My wife and me love your video. Form syracuse ny. And we know Andy H 👍👍👍
Duffy, i have workt with a side loading garbagetruck, the driver was lowering the loading arm and a byclist shot right through the truck and the curve. Only because he didn't want to slow down
If I remember correctly, from when we had a 7000 Deere planter, the latch.that holds the marke in transport position, is to be turned 180 degrees when in field position. This lets the end of the latch, opposite of the latching end, act as somewhat of a spring, when the marker is raised. This may help a little with the markers going down, but may not depending on what size sidehill you're on.
Here in Quebec we have a unique way to name them in our language that I can’t find a translation , because the main word is WOUND I’d we translate that word but in that context it doesn’t mean that ...
French language can be complex .
Méchante plaie! Sti.
I would translate as pain in the butt.
@@MmeHyraelle yeah they are pain in the butt , as I say here in Quebec we speak French but we have our own slang French to describe some situations or something or expressions that doesn’t exist in French from France , my father is perfect bilingual and he don’t know how to translate that expression CRISS DE PLAIE . the word CRISS is swearing , in Quebec when we swears we use christianisme words but not exactly pronounced the exact word ( CRISS = CHRIST = JESUS CHRIST ) and PLAIE is WOUND , but in that context WOUND can mean as you say pain in the butt . And DE mean those things or persons that you refer to .
Well French is known to be the most complex language to learn, in English you 3 PAST , PRESENT and FUTURE, for the verbs, in French we have 30 possibilities.
@@patrickpat8878 From what you're saying I get the impression you're meaning that the person is wounding Christ or else is like the wounds of Christ.
@@snipersl270 lollll no , as I was explaining here in Quebec we speak French but it’s not the exact the same French as in France, yes we do mostly speak France French but 75 % of us speak Quebec French that is a slang French , when tourists from France come in Quebec they have really hard time to understand us .
In the context context of cyclists we use the word CRISS ( ok yes it’s christ ) but in that phrase it can also mean swearing, because we also use that TABARNAK DE PLAIE ( tabernacle ) ….
Next week I will visit a friend he might know a better translation for that .
That tractor in the beginning of the video...I'd like to see the light bar on the cab at night time...curious how well they work... thanks.
Chris. I understand The equipment in Texas froze because nothing was set up for cold weather operation. Wind turbines work in Canada without freezing.
Yeah, and they are useless.
the big loop on the marker lock goes down so it hits on the frame and keeps the markers out a little thats how i always do it
I love how the beginning of the video is "if we get our tractors up to the speeds like they have in Europe... that'd be sweet" and mid way through it's "DEF fluid is choking diesel out... waste of money and useless" LOL I completely understand the frustration of government but EPA stuff isn't the problem. Honestly it's the lobbyists restricting the EPA but yeah. Getting it done, Bud! Nice work and vids!
Great Chanel. Great Videos.
"Get the rock"😆
The cyclists are the number one reason I no longer drive through your town. Adds more time to my commute but I can’t handle them riding 2 and 3 abreast making it difficult to pass and when you do they often flip the bird. One even tried to kick my car. The sense of entitlement in this area of Massachusetts is mind blowing.
Not agreeing with what the cyclist did, but riding 2 abreast is a safety measure for groups of 3 or more and not a sense of entitlement. If there was a line of 5 cyclist single file and a car tries to pass without knowing that is 5 people long it could be a risk to both the riders and the driver. That is the primary reason for riding 2 wide. 3 wide is not okay. Just speaking from a cyclist in a farming community and family. I have no problem slowing down and waiting until it is safe. But the moment he passed the cyclist on a blind corner was also unsafe and technically illegal. It happens to me a lot and I don't get bent out of shape about it. People just need to understand the laws and follow them.
Run your disk with a little angle, helps with leveling the field & also you want have the row marker confusing.
Watching this in July...yup...gas prices went up...Thanks Joe!!!
Hello there. The cab on that big John Deere is it there own or a dunken cab. It's very similar to the Massey Ferguson 1200 cab.
A yes nice that you mention the Euro tactors being faster, Fendt was basicly who started the 50-55kph (~33mph) wich now really became the standart and most newer modles of the larger midsize are up to 60-65kph wich is ~40mph
Tractor collectors are starting to kill the market on older machines. The 50, 55, and 60 series are getting to be high dollar anymore. BTW- love that dog!
I'm in upstate northern NY. We get the crazies from NYC moving up here.
You gotta love big power old tractors … they may not have all the electronics but for budget farming they have a lot to offer still
3:56 that stick was prolly an aiming spot for a bow hunter or ....sumpin.... set out there in the field at 50 30 or 100 or something yards, for quick siteing... but... I am just guessing ;)
I very much appreciate our farmers. 🤙🤙🍽🍽🍽
Nice seed beds.😼
That's the only bad thing you can say about the 7000 series planters is that the mechanism that controls which arm goes up and down likes to get stuck. You might try pulling it out of whichever side it is nearer and shooting it with some lithium grease and see if that helps.
*edit*
What do you lube your seed with, Graphite or Talc?
People always seems to have trouble accepting farmers on the roads but they want their products on their table a few hours later. And there will always be idiots in every country and culture, after working on a milkfarm for 18 years I very much appreciate farmers all over the world. Cheers from Sweden!
The marker arm lock is spun upside-down to keep the arm in position while planting, place the longer metal tab in the down position
Silly question... why not import a used European tractor? One of the other farming channels did that. Enjoying the content, thanks.
He do with belt of front weight up rear great video love the 7520
Would swapping the lights on the tractor for led light bars help with night planting?
All those small fields would drive me nuts!
