Agreed! Another well-done vid that really explains a-lot! Thanks for the time putting into these vids and sharing them,really enjoyable to learn. Also enjoyed the regional accent and southern culture.
I like the idea this farmer using with the old type row markers. Even with all of the electronice if it fails they can just sight the line and keep planting. The farmer close to my place in the country plants corn in a row that plants side by side and it stagers the corn seeds to make two small rows close together. Thanks for bring us these videos! Wish you were over here in East central Georgia and doing videos on farms I know.
Wow - great video - it is almost to short -your comments and the operator comments are well worth listening to -keep up the great work - Toronto Ont Canada
Jason love your videos huge fan of your and big tractor power I know you been out in California Bakersfield but I want you to come out to Firebaugh Ca and film some tomato harvesting in August I think you would get a kick out of it and the nut harvest also keep up great work
Thank you for the invite. I would like to get back out to California. There is some amazing farming in CA. I will not be able to this year unfortunately. My big trip in August will be to the Half Century of Progress Show to see all the vintage machines harvesting and plowing.
The soil was plenty loose. The field is in a low area so it tends to hold water. The farm deep ripped it 18 inches in the fall and worked it up with a field cultivator the day before.
1,000 gallons hanging on the front end is 8,000 pounds of dead weight,I almost forgot about that B.T.P.,very impressive video. I hope you'll find the 214 foot Zells planter that I talked about,that would make a really great video.
@@GreaterAntilles-wn2ts I stand corrected,it's 11-pounds per gallon,so now we're talkin'11,000 pounds of dead weight,instead of 8,000,even BETTER!!.THANKS!!.
@@4gauge10 Yea where we farm we would never do that our soil would compact so bad over the tracks the corn wouldn't emerge. We run 2 DB 66's 32 row 22 inch rows planters one of which is a highspeed we try to keep the tanks at 400gal max.
@@GreaterAntilles-wn2ts Compaction is non-issue,that ranks up there with climate change,my neighbor runs a similar setup,except he likes I.H./Case gear and his 🌽⬅corn grows as tall as anyone else's corn without any issues.
You'd think for what that tractor cost , they could at least make the mirrors a little more sturdy so they aren't shaking around to where you can't hardly see out of them. And that's in a smooth , worked field!
I love your BIG TRACTORS videos. Just one question I notice fields are not immense as we taught (in Mexico) those Midwest plains fields were, they look medium size; Question is: What is the average size of a Corn or Soybeans field is in Iowa or Illinois? How long or how large is your longest trip ?...Thanks
The average size for fields is about 160 acres. The way everything was layed out centuries ago was 1 mile by 1 mile and that is called a section. Usually that is divided into 4 pieces called quarters that are each 160 acres.
@@PaulsonFarms In Northwest Mexico, irrigated land "biggest lots" are 1 square kilometer = 100 hectareas) Yes big tractors for tillage ( not that big) and small ones for planting ....6 furrows , nice "talking" to you, Thanks and goodbye !!!
I know last month when farmers where planting tobacco I saw the boss in his truck operating the tractor on a computer in his truck that was cool to see
I got out of farming cause I couldn't figure out how to keep my little farm operation profitable. How does a guy pay for a $800,000 tractor/planter setup like that?? $4 corn and $8 beans? Im sure his combine is equally expensive. $350 for a bag of corn seed and $60 for beans.
@@jasonzee4561 Both Im sure. Like many farmers they did inherit the family farm and have had to put their land up on the lean just to operate. Bad move.
I'm curious about whether or not all of that fertilizer stays in the field, or runs off with the rain. Does doing this run the risk of polluting local water sources? I'm no farmer, just wondering how this all works!
A very small amount of nitrogen is placed under the soil with the seed. It dries into the soil for the plant to use as it grows. Because it’s under the ground rain will not wash it away.

Thanks for the video. Great job talking with the operator. 👍
Another great video! I like this setup. You can plant some corn in a hurry..
The logistics to keep those two rigs running is impressive, an operation on it's own, great video
Lol it's not much harder then mowing a lawn with two mowers.
Good to hear that, thanks
Nature, a field, and a pretty Green machine!
Thank you for watching.
Enjoyed this episode. The length is appreciated. Well kept machinery. 🚜👍
Thank you for watching Mark. You are a top BTP viewer.
Outstanding equipment and technology
That's a mean looking bit of kit. 👍🏻
Thanks Jason another Awesome video 🚜🚜🌽🌽👍

Very nice video, to much money involved, I am happy same one can afford it thank you for video
370hp out of a 514 cubic inch engine seems to be straining the friendship a bit.
With duals and saddle tanks and everyting.... wow
Hi bigTractor power love John Deere do you like John Deere
tractors with triples are just awesome :)
Yes they are. 👍👍
Excellent and very informational!
Very well done. Sam
John Deere 😍
👍

That ground looks as hard as concrete with all that compaction.
The soil was plenty loose. The field is in a low area so it tends to hold water. The farm deep ripped it 18 inches in the fall and worked it up with a field cultivator the day before.
You don't have to worry about compaction in sand.

No that fertilizer weighs about 11lbs per US gallon.

Thank you for watching.
That's a set up there
Man those tanks full wow talk about compacting the ground that will do it
Beastly!
Where did you run your hose on the tractor from the front tanks to the planter at?
They run them up the middle underneath to the planter hitch.
How was he able to pull the planter threw the mud with out plugging it that would of been a big no on ours
Ya I can’t believe that it didn’t plug the press wheels
I wondered about that. It seems like mud would really gum up the works.
It all depends on soil type i guess.
It seems to be a pretty light soil that
nice
12 wheels wow ☺
Do they consider no till in future?

Now that's putting corn in the ground
😁👍👍
But is that a 4wd tractor? Bc if you lock the difs....
Those triples look amazing. Lovely setup they are running there. How old is that tractor?
The tractor is a 2018 model.
@@bigtractorpower ok. Thank you
That's a large tractor just for planting
I am surprised that this farm is not planting soybeans right now
This was filmed in March. This farm is cutting and double cropping soybeans.
I know last month when farmers where planting tobacco I saw the boss in his truck operating the tractor on a computer in his truck that was cool to see
That takes the fun out of farming
And a lot of employees out of work
8.5 mph?! That's fast!
Well not really, we ran at about 5.5-6 mph on the straight passes with an 8320 R pulling a 24r30 1770 NT.
Flamefurthecat 05 I went around your speed too. I see a lot more row unit bounce if I go any faster.

Either his dad left him millions or he in debt up to his eyes

@@farmerd7174 I think your right. Those big tractors and planters are millions and a small guy cant a Ford so someone has deep pockets.
Why would you use that big of a tractor on a little 24 row on our farm we use 8320r
I wonder the same but, would you buy another tractor just for seeding?
Your question is answered in the video.
I'm curious about whether or not all of that fertilizer stays in the field, or runs off with the rain. Does doing this run the risk of polluting local water sources? I'm no farmer, just wondering how this all works!
A very small amount of nitrogen is placed under the soil with the seed. It dries into the soil for the plant to use as it grows. Because it’s under the ground rain will not wash it away.
Why people choose 9370r? Because it cheaper than 8370r?
It can carry the weight of the tanks and has more weight and size for bigger tillage.
The 9370r is also a true four wheel drive while an 8370 is front wheel assist.
Hey @bigtractorpower someone has stolen on of your videos.
What is the account name? Thank you for the tip.
Let me know if you need help
BigTractorPower, have you filmed Yarbro farms before?
I do not Yarboro Farms. Where are they located?
Around Martin Tennessee
👍👍
