I dont farm a large acreage but if I did I would likely no-till with a one year in three rotation with a plow like this to get the phosphate and potassium better incorporated into the soil profile. Some no-till guys in your region are opting for moldboard plows but I'm just not a fan. Great instructional videos!
I've demo these types of tillage tools, was hoping to no-till or light VT then plant in the spring. Come spring, I could get up to speed with a high speed implement, to bouncy ( I don't have an articulate tractor, so maybe that might help).And no way in hell can you drive crossways after. The no-tilled drill was up and and down and even side to side movement. The field looks smooth, but its not. At 4:30 you can see the shank lines, When I demo these machines I played with the rear level disks till I passed out. I was really hoping a machine like this would work on my farm. It cuts stalks, mixes soil, deep tillage and well kinda levels. Love watching your videos, will be watching in the spring to hear you springs thoughts on the Ceus.
Hey Mike, im only new to your channel but im liking all the content. Just wondering if you've ever considered covering a cranberry harvest, its quite fascinating. They would flood the cranberry fields and drive farm equipment through the flooded fields to scoop up the floating cranberries. Its very unique. 😊
Hey thanks and yes I'm up for anything agriculture or outdoors for my channel. Do you know of or have a place in mind? I know lots of farms and people but I don't know anyone who does cranberries.
@@farmhandmike Unfortunately I dont know of anyone myself. I live in Australia, and drive a B-Double and Road-Train up and down its east coast. From what I am aware, we dont really tend to have commercial cranberry growers here. However, a quick Google search for large Cranberry farms in the US shows up a fair few. Apparently the worlds largest cranberry grower is the A.D. Makepeace Company, based in Wareham, Massachusetts. Their contact details are listed on their website. It also seems as though Wisconsin produces more than half of all cranberries in the US. There are multiple growers also based in New Jersey, Oregon and Washington.
The only question is did you plant a cover crop to protect that exposed soil from the wind and water til planting time next spring. Even the corn was plenty black.
That is a great tilage tool Mike . Do you know if they are going to have them out here in Eastern Washington? I'd like to see how it would do on our irrigated corn ground . Let me know if you can thanks Mike and as always thanks for the great videos
Not really sure I guess you'd have to see who is a dealer for Amazone out in those parts. I'll look and see of they have a dealer locator on the Amazone NA website or maybe someone else can chime in who knows.
You should be able to pull at least the 6000-2TX with that tractor. When looking in the recommended hp for the 4000-2TX is 200/250 hp which is what you usually would see in front of that size tool in the most of Europe, some would maybe use 300-380 hp for it but when they have that size tractor they usually will have a 6000-2TX on 20 ft/6m and can still use it in most conditions down to 10-12 inches without much trouble, it's all about getting the tractor balanced out properly with a good size weight in the front and maybe wheel weight or other type of weight in the back of the tractor
That European manufactured narrow implement is meant for small European fields and not for our large fields here in the western hemisphere. Just think of the many passes with a narrow 13 feet wide implement to till a quarter section of land. Just wasting good tractor power there with that narrow thing. An 18 meter or 60 foot wide implement would be more appropriate here. Thin big, (wide) or go home.
You realize most of the food we eat had genetic modifications? Seedless grapes and watermelons for example are not natural, otherwise they would cease to exist without seeds. Most fruits, many vegetables, grains@@Jimmy-Legs
Great tillage video, always good to see the fields being turned back to brown ready for the circle of life to begin again ready for next years crops.
Nice one-pass seedbed with just enough residue to help keep things in place. Far cry from the days of fall moldboard plowing
Amazon, Lemken, and especially VÄDERSTAD Europe has amazing equipment
thanks for the great content on youtube
Hello from California wonderful videos thank you Mike Less
Very impressive piece of equipment and our video does a good job of showing what it can do.
Looks like it is doing a good job. It is doing a lot in one pass. Thanks for sharing the video Mike.
Nice piece of equipment.Thanks for the details.
Love to see European Tillage tools in your videos.
I love tillage videos and it is always great to see new pieces of equipment running to see how they perform.
That looks like it would be a solid addition to any farm. Great video!
I got to see them work the bean feild. It did a great job blending and leveling like Mike said.
Thanks Mike for another great vidio.
Great to see you in the cab doing real farming for a change of pace! Please stay safe and keep well!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!!!
It looks to be doing a good job. Most of the tillage equipment is going high speed. 8-12 mph. Tillage sure gets done quicker. Great video Mike 👍🏻.
Good job brother 👍
That corn stalk ground will definitely warm up faster next spring.

That looks like a nice tillage tool😉👍 thanks for the video Mike👍😃
Very nice
It's so nice equipment always take care of ur self ❤
Mikeee love your videos dont stop uploading
That's a doing a good job of turning the residue under I enjoyed this video Mike.
Keep up the good work mike
Vers nice video, thanks for this, Mike!!!
Amazone is a very good brand, we sell a lot of it around here in northeastern France.
Hello Mike :) All The best

I like Mike less videos on UA-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲

No cover crops, It's late enough in the year I don't think much would sprout now. Supposed to be in the mid 20's three nights this week.

Hi Mark, the AMAZONE dealer in Washington is Mountain View Equipment in Sunnyside. They're great to work with!
@@SamuelBaileys awesome thank you I already deal with them on the claas 980 choppers . Thank you
Long days and nights .🌞🌑
do you think you'd be able to pull it with a Deere 9300? Shanks would be 6-8" deep and disks 3-4" in medium textured silt loams
From the video, it seems like a lot of tire slippage.
What did it look like to you? Maybe need some more weight on the tractor?
Boy I sure didn't think there was much if any slip.
How wold that machine work with 4 to 6 foot pre side
should be wider
I personally think we could have pulled a bigger one. This one here was brought out for a demo and they told us 400 horsepower was recommended.

Eight inches on those shanks is not very deep, especially considering all of the heavy equipment that runs over that ground creating compaction.
Yes the shanks will go deeper but it did what we wanted to do where we had it.
E show de bola
Do they come in bigger sizes?
Yes for sure.
up to 7 meters (23ft)
@@jonasbrock3959 Ok. Thanks.
😎😎
What kind of horsepower does it take to pull it?
Did a nice job 👍🏻 just curious how the test weight was on corn out there it’s been pretty light here
The test weight has been good here.

Well I don't know of any company that builds a 60 foot wide disk ripper. Amazone builds up to a 7 meter or 23 foot wide version of this.
be nice with duetz tractor.

Who the hell eats soybeans.
Pigs and humans. When the ingredient is "vegetable oil" that can be soybean oil
@@dfarmer_ Why don’t they grow real food that’s good for you.
Like soybeans? We do@@Jimmy-Legs
