what a difference some rain does for suppressing the amount of airborne dirt! great job always nice to have retired farmers help out , they never get it out of their system! no matter how old and how long they did it.
It may have been short, but it was fun to watch and ending with the lights on added to a great ending. First time I've seen it in the field since the restoration of either one of them.
That was great vision with the camera mounted on the disc, we got all the sights and sounds. If we could only smell that freshly turned earth. Nice video
I grew up around a dairy farm and running the machinery was one of my favorite things to do. I have not been in the seat of a tractor for a good many years and there are times where I long to be out tilling a field.
Looks great! I got a little reprieve from the combine this week and was able to spend a little time in our Jd 8420 pulling a CIH 330 on some bean stubble. I was really nice to do some tillage for a change.
Reading 8420 brings back some memories I ran one when it was brand new on my uncle's farm in fact you will see it on my throw back Thursday video eventually....I loved that tractor it was a work horse
@@dirtgrainsteel Ours is an absolute beast. We haven't had it on a dyno, but we pull a CIH 530c disk ripper that we have added lead shanks and a rolling basket making it basically a mini smaller 870 and it pulls like a dream. It has 18.4 front tires and I really want to put front duals on it, maybe one of these says it will come across the a set of adapters and spacers.
I miss running those big tractors. I have run 8630 and 8960 machines but was always a little wary going up and down the road. With an implement they can get a little squirrely sometimes. We had a 32 ft 496 harrow and a 32 ft Deere chisel plow. Both handled them well. The 89 had a little more power and larger tires. What gear you running? I used to use B1 and B2.
I’m curious why disk the land and cover up the soybeans residue if you want to increase the organic matter ? Up here in Canada we no till everything to increase the organic matter heavy harrow the residue from previous crop and seed right into it
Well for one I wanted to try and level this field out alittle it's got alot of ridges and another reason is the drill that was going to be used was not capable of no till now if I had a like a John Deere 750 no till drill I would have probably seeded right in to it this will be corn next spring and we will spray kill the rye and plant directly in to it no tillage in the spring so it's still kinda of a no till program....my question is and always has been if we don't take organic residue off but throw alittle dirt on it isn't it still technically there in the soil plus I feel alittle soil on top helps it decompose.....some of our ground really benefits from no till and some of our ground won't produce in less it's tilled we have such a variety of soil types that we can't be 100% one way or another
Organic matter is lost as carbon gas in the atmosphere with tillage. A local extension center has a continuous no till plot somewhere around 30 years they figure two seasons of conventional till would lose over half the organic matter built up. I am a proponent for no till/min till but it’s certainly not going to save the world. There are several reasons tillage can become necessary. Plus the benefit of cover crops will far outweigh any carbon loss you incur with what little tillage you did.
Have to have tillage in some areas, i farm in southern Alberta and in our low aren’s they’re susceptible to getting Alkaline especially on wet years, if i can i work them as deep as possible with a cultivator usually to the frame with a 33ft cultivator and 16” shovels and it dries it out a bit and makes the alkaline soils smaller and smaller year by year. 12” deep and let it sit in the fall if you can get into it and it will start to produce again little by little
@@bradenconway9066 yea I farm in NE AB we heavy disk low ground to try to seed it next year but if we get a 2 inch rain it just drowns out this fall we were very dry so we disked a lot of cattails see what happens next year
@@dirtgrainsteel I believe most people don’t want the straw/residues to decompose completely if you can get a thick enough consistency on top of the ground it will almost act as a sponge holding in moisture downside ground won’t heat up fast idk your area well how much moisture you average but sounds like you got a good plan there
Just wondering, isn't there a situation with nutrient depletion running the same crop every year? Or does the rye replace what the beans use and vice versa? Just curiosity. Thanks.
This gets a corn bean rotation so it will be corn next spring the rye won't really much to grow and we always fertilizer anyways....I don't think I said in the video and I should have since we are going to continue to do this we are actually going to harvest some of this rye for seed next year for a cover crop keep what we will need and sell the rest
If it’s for a cover crop why not broadcast the rye seed instead of discing then drilling. broadcast on top of the stubble then disc it in. not trying to criticize just curious.
I had forgot to mention we will be harvesting some of this for seed for the next year but not baleing the straw just taking the grain....so that's why will drilled it the first year we broadcasted it and worked it in but it's gotten hard to find rye around here because the damn solar company's have been buying it up like crazy to plant in the solar farms
Love the 8650s they were a great workhorse.very few problems unlike the new ones with all the electronics

Nice to let landowner get back in the field.
That there takes me back when I was a kid and got to ride in then with my dad

Great video Brandon thanks for sharing 👍

I'm glad you liked that I was trying to come up with a good way to film what was going on outside and I thought let's give the wing a try
We use to have a IH490 disk we would use behind our JD 8640 with a 8650 motor in it.
That’s great that the landowner wants to be involved and you let others come out and play. Retirement can get boring.
Be sure and video drilling the rye. Thanks, I enjoy them all, keep them coming.
I didnt get a chance to I was cutting beans
That’s a little bigger streak than what my 140 will disk. Enjoyed

Love the old horse powere
She's a beauty!
Goodmorning all

Also your 8650 is absolutely gorgeous!
Some nice looking soil there. Nice work sir.
I miss the smell of freshly turn dirt. It's a smell I wish I could bottle!
Great vid man! Magnetic gopro mounts are seriously one of the biggest advances made in ag UA-cam over the last few years
I mount my phone to equipment lol
South Sasks Farmer's Grandad is 87 & he helps all the time. Sometimes for a couple hours some times all day!
That's great he's still involved!
👍
Tractor pulls that pretty nice
Yeah they make a good pair it's still got power to spare
You don't happen to work ground south of star city do you? See a very similar setup running across from y dad's place a while back.

Curious about the 5020
I've been hoping to come across another running tractor with transmission problems and take 2 and make me a good 5020

How wide is that disk?
30ft

What's rare about the tractor?
Besides it's very low hours nothing
@@dirtgrainsteel oh ok. Makes sense
