Heavy Hitch Hiller, Custom Cultivator, and Our Second Crop of Corn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Today we'll be putting together and testing a hiller/cultivator from the company Heavy Hitch.
We'll then be putting together our own custom cultivator that should take care of our weed problem in the sugar cane patch. Finally we'll be prepping the field and planting a second crop of sweet corn!
Excellent as always happy 4th GS.
Thanks Starweaver. Same to you!
New toy works great. Hopefully we will see more corn in the near future
Thanks Steven! Those were two tools that are going to save me so many hours of having to do it all by hand.
Nice job!! I like this.
Thank you! Cheers!
I missed Sunday because I had to deal with computer issues for work. Tuesday's stream turned into Wednesday's stream (I am glad the mini is your first priority, happy birthday Mini). I knew I had this to get a Spartan fix. Always deal local when possible. You can preach that as much as possible, it is important. It is amazing how much work the right equipment can get done. Love the videos and The Grand Outdoors. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you Marc! Appreciate the kind words!
Garden is looking so much better than this time last year :)
Great job
👍
Soil is looking much better than when you first started 👍
Vegetation rot, fertilizer, and tilling has brought it along nicely. I am looking forward to getting all the fields into the back location across the bridge. Soil back there will be much better than the sandy part up front.
You will soon need another shed just for attachments . I noticed the kubota was missing , I hope it's ok .
I just set the implements on pallets that I get for free and put a cheap tarp over them. Keeps them off the ground and out of the weather. The excavator was across the bridge in the woods for clearing.
Awesome job well done, love it.
Thank you Anna! Cheers!
I greatly enjoyed the info, I could not take the camera jumping around all the time, I had to fast forward
Killing me watching those few ears of corn being chopped up!
You wouldn't want to eat the ears that were left in the field as they were were dehydrated and hard. I did a final walkthrough a couple days before the video and found no good ears left. Won't be but another 85 days and we should have a field full of fresh corn again.
that will save you alot of time with the weeds. do you need lock tight on the bolts?
It sure will Lee. I have lock washers on most of the bolts which should be enough.
Nice job sir. Look forward to the next one
Thanks Jedi Master👍
I can't imagine having to do all that work by hand. What a tremendous amount of effort that tractor saves. Pumpkins would be cool! Great video! I went back to look at the first video where you were cutting the road and it's incredible what you've accomplished this year.
Thank you Sean! The new cultivators will save countless hours over the next months and years! I hope the pumpkins will turn out. Waiting on more seed to arrive now so that I can get them into the ground before it's too late!
What can’t you do? Haha!
More great work as always GS.
Appreciate it Goyle!
It’s great you have an alternative to Tractor Supply available. Nothing against the company but it’s large and wealthy and I like hearing about smaller businesses thriving. It sounds like your farm could provide a good supply of venison if you were inclined to take advantage of it during hunting season.
I figured your corn got hit with same drought like conditions we had this year as well. I think our feed corn might be ok because we just got some decent storms over a week & half spread out a bit just in time. Knee high by 4th of July is saying here. It was gonna be a total wipe in a nother week or two here no rain . Glad to hear you have a chance to do a double crop. Not enough growing season for it here. Good Luck with 2nd batch of corn Grand Spartan !!!!
Thanks USMC Tanker! It is hard to grow corn down here without irrigation. Most of the field corn farmers lost everything this year in my area. Hope that I can have the second crop harvested before our first frost hits!
Awesome
👍
Why didn’t you just put those extra tines in the place of the discs on the heavy hitch bar? Would’ve worked just the same I would think
Congrats on 2K+ Subs GS! way to go!! & Happy Forth of July!!!
Thank you Rusty!
Did I see corn on the stocks?
Sir I think you should add farming simulator to your streaming schedule in addition to the grand outdoors I feel you would enjoy it.
I actually own a couple of the Farming simulator games. They are fun but I'm not sure many people would want to
hang out and watch me farm on a game! 🤣
@@GrandOutdoors I just got 19 last week and a group of six of us play on the weekends for about 10 hours a day lol trust me you would have a following never hurts to try see what the audience may say
Becoming quite the farmer! I know it runs in the family but I was thinking you were more focused on building a home THEN doing the farm development. Great way to make it productive in the mean time however!
Thank you Mdvlman! We won't look into moving out there until the kids are out of high school and that will be 10 years away! I figured I'd develop it a bit and try to get a small farm going for income while we wait around for that to happen.
Where did you purchase the hiller?
Need to find u a farmall cub or 140
First :p
WHY WHY !!!!!! cut up all that corn
The corn that was still in the field was no good. The kernels are dried, dehydrated, and hard. The longer you leave it the more starch it develops and it will not taste as good. It will also become dehydrated and hardened. Markets won't buy it and you wouldn't want to eat it. You only have at most a week to harvest once the field gets ripe for harvest. The sun down here will rapidly ruin what is in the field once it is ripe. After day 6 this year it was hard to find an ear that was edible. The corn that I mowed and plowed under will now become nitrogen for the soil and next crop following.
