Can You Hear that Ringing? | Repairing Our Case 770 Tillage Disc!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2024
- Today, in this tractor video, we have hooked up our tillage disc to our Case Magnum 245. We'll be repairing all our tillage discs, preparing them to run through the entire season of rice. We're checking nuts and bolts, for cracks, tires bearings and a whole lot more! Also I'll give you an update on our chisel plows.
If you'd like to see the tractor work and tillage discs in action watch this episode of Rice Farming TV:

Preventive maintenance! Great vid!
Superb - thank you for not using a) music (so far in the video anyway!) or b) a head-mounted camera (makes me nauseous!). All the best restoration / repair channels use fixed camera positions. So simple yet so often ignored. It's a pain setting that camera on a stand but blimey does it make for a clearer video. Subscribed and Liked.
Getting every thing fixed before spring work begin is a good plan.
Thanks Scruffy. That's right. A little repair and preventative maintenance goes along way when planting starts and we have no time and want everything running smoothly.

Good work Matt
A good PM program pays off
It's all about the PM, Hawk! Thanks for the message.
-M.
Nice work friend
Thank you, Param!
-M.
Thanks for the great video
I found this video very insightful. Thank you
Thanks King. I appreciate the message and glad to hear you like the video.
-M.
I love watching that I used to watch them in Iowa right there near Moline Illinois just right outside their it's interesting to see how you're doing it with the rice fields like that that's why I subscribe to you learn something about it I think it's a good thing to make sure we make food here and Supply the rest of the world with something they have to buy it from somewhere...
Great service video. Keep me coming
Thank you Jan! Will do! How are you doing, man?
-M.
Hey Matthew, I am loving this new vlog style you are doing! I like them because you are in action more and you're just showing us along the way. Even as a farmer, I love seeing how different farming is from northern California to southern Kansas! Great videos and looking forward to many more!
Hi J! Thanks for the message and I’m glad you’re enjoying the style. Usually I’m too busy to stop and explain what’s going on so I have been doing more recapping. We’ll see if I can keep it up.
-M.
I’ve had two of those disks. To me they are the best bc of the locking wings. All the land around here was like whoop-de-doos bc of shabby disks that couldn’t keep wings as deep as main frame. Those are awesome for keeping a firld level. Preciate your work big Red!
Lovely Blue Sky. Good interesting content.
Thanks Pappy! Good to hear from you.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv You make the best videos.
@@GoPappyGo Thanks Man.
Interesting video. I've been looking for educational farming vids like this..keep it up!
Awesome Joel! Thank you for the message.

Looks like a cooler day for your video today Matthew? I wonder if while you are testing disc bearings for sound, could you sync the same to wind chimes? Could become a Rice Farming TV Music Star too. Nice to see some natural green covering the ground. Happy Planting! Happy Gardening! -Bob...
Hi Bob, yeah Larry thought to bang a bunch of different parts of the disc to make a symphony of sound. It would be cool. Remember that episode when I toured through the Claas Lexion Harvester Assembly Line in Omaha? I kind of brought that idea up there too.
Here it is: ua-cam.com/video/1VKNx_9cS5g/v-deo.html

Another great vid!
I would never think of those welding points like that but like with a box truck or a semi tractor-trailer you got to check the frame and they c clamp bolt hanger that actually hold the trailer to the frame...
Yeah, cracks can become tears and tears can become a tillage disc broken in half. HA!
-Matthew
We call a weld like that a "gorilla weld". Ugly, but strong! Way to go Pops.
I love that! Pops only does one type of welds-gorilla welds. Haha!
-M.
I have a CDL so you're doing a pre-trip inspection there!!$$
Exactly! I love that analogy.

My mom used to cut the scraper blades for miller manufacturing
Wow Kory! That's awesome. How many years did you mom do that?
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv from about 1975 til they closed in i beleive 1982
@@koryleague8833 very interesting. It's cool history.
@@Ricefarmingtv yea i wish more was done to preserve miller manufacturing and miller weed both home grown ag companies here in nebraska
We have had a few manufacturing companies go under but surprisingly we have that have been running since the beginning.

Question. Matt said he has 1,200 acres. That converts to 1.875 square miles. If the field was a perfect square, what would be the length of the sides of the square?
Oh oh! 9,900 feet?
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv You are correct. With 1,200 acres, each side of a square mile is 1.875 miles. That's a lot of property. Any chance it will be developed into housing or business property?
Replacing the blades on the disc are a job and getting them tight again is a pain also.
So true.
Ditto. So true!
Eu quero trabalhar nesses tratores, esses equipamentos fascinam! De preferência com um chapeu de cowboy!!!
Com certeza Scott! La no Brasil eles tem um chapéu de cowboy e trabalha sem sapatos. Abraço!

🚜👍🏻
Nice!
Good day from northern NY. what is your soil make up? Looks very heavy with clay
Hi Jocala Farms, the soil we have is adobe-a dark clay-like soil. Then there is also “slickens” or a river bottom soil that was washed out towards us due to hydraulic mining during the gold rush.
-Matthew
Hi
are you fallowing some land this year?
Great question Scotty. To be determined. No rain in February has put us behind. We now have March and April to save us. Last two years that was the case. We’ll have a water district meeting Thursday to get an overall update.
-M.
Would still love to hear more about the financial side of your business! Does the dryer buy your rice or do they just store it and you sell it to wholesalers?
Have you ever considered using a disk ripper ? It might reduce a pass idk, I'm not a rice farmer just corn and soybean farmer.
Hi Luke, I haven’t-let me do a little research on disc rippers and I’ll get back to you.
-M.
Is the water bottle that fell gunna be okay?
Every hammer like yours I have seen in the last 50 years had a handle just like yours with the back end broken off just like yours.
HAHA! That's awesome Jim. I think that back end was broken before I ever picked it up. It was probably my grandpa's hammer at the beginning.
-Matthew
Assume you grease everything too....maybe just before you put it to work? Thanks, Jim.
So you basically have to fix all the stress cracks on the implements that's incredible a lot of extra work goes into this fit and people don't think of when you're a farmer add extra work and there's implements aren't cheap Nora the tractors then you got to have a guy to do it all for you that works for you or if you can do it yourself that would be even better... just got to remove some of your overhead.. that's what I believe not because I've ever done what you've done....
I just had a thought- are there any artists out there using used discarded cultivator parts to create metal sculptures?
I've seen a dragon made out of a bunch of scrap metal but not sure if it was actually from farm implements and parts. Great idea though.
-M.
You could make a scrap metal Scare Crows out of the worn parts for the fields.
Only easy part of rice farming is the eating! Or is it? How often does rice end up on the table at the Sligar household? Be honest! 😝
Hi David, Clara prepared a Tex-Mex brown rice bowl today. Last week we had salmon and a wild rice blend. We also had sushi one nice with a California short grain variety (take-out). So I’d say at least three times a week but varied styles of rice. That’s a great question. Should I do cooking videos?
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv If you're being serious then yes I would love to see some Rice Farming TV cooking videos! I've always felt I fall a little short on my rice technique. You could get Clara involved too! Also, I just learned that wild rice is actually an aquatic grass seed as to where "regular" rice is considered a grain. I know you already know that, I just thought it was neat. Thanks as always for all the cool videos👍
Yes, that could be fun. Maybe play with cooking show tropes. Rainy Day Rice Recipes.
@@Ricefarmingtv True story. My mother raised 4 children (five years difference between the oldest and youngest) by herself in the San Francisco Bay Area. She and my father were divorced. She had to work to support her family so she was busy. She would make rice and pour a can of tomato soup inside the rice. That would be a partial or complete simple, inexpensive meal for us. It tasted good and we were content with it.
How big are those 770 disc? Do those case tractors pull them with ease ?
Their 22’ wide and yeah, the tractors pull them with ease, Simon.
-M.
What's a good ratio of tractor's to acres
Yup... Nobody likes replacing discs. When a bearing goes out it’s always the one that’s hardest to get to.
Totally David! We’ll do a couple discs at the same time just because we’re doing it and we want to get it over with.
-M.
I hope im not assuming here. But isnt your wife brazilian? Do you plan to film anymore brazilian farming videos
Hi Kory, yes-she’s Brazilian. We usually visit but this year we didn’t...so I don’t have any farming videos from down there. Next year I will.
-M.
Hi matthew, One Question. how much is your investment and how much is returns from Rice Farming
Man, I should do a video on the entire business model of farming rice in California.
-M.
A Mathew RF -Like- ..
Rick, I don’t understand?
@@Ricefarmingtv A Rice Farming Video like!
Don't know why line in like
Why do some spell it disc and others like John Deere spell it disk? just curious
Hmm, not sure Daniel. I guess because I’m of the compact disc (CD) generation. I just thought thats how you spell it.
-Matthew
@@Ricefarmingtv Thanks!
I am sorry to bring up politics but I couldn’t help myself in mentioning the insulting and disgraceful remarks my Michael Blumberg about America’s farmers. Had to get it of my chest. I am amazed at the knowledge that goes into farming love your channel.
I'm sure you are aware of the trade deal the Trump made with China, which required them to buy $50 billion worth of products from our farmers. I'm curious as to how you think that will affect things for you this year. Do you expect rice prices to go up? Will that affect what you plant. Do buyers from China prefer certain types of rice?
Fried rice! 😂😂😂
@@SmallMartingale I thought it was "flied lice".
