Far and away my favorite body design JD ever made. The first time I sat in one of these and looked down the hood (around 2005) I remember thinking it looked just like a hot rod. This one is a 2008 model.
Turf management is farming. Some farmers grow food, some grow fiber (cotton, trees, etc), and some grow landscapes. Keep up the good work and thanks for watching.
Your Pecan trees budding is a good planting forecaster. I'm up here in western Kentucky I use my Ginseng plant. When it starts to come up I know the frosts are over. I've only seen it get fooled one time in 20 years.
@@johngreer3004 they are comparable as far as what they can do. The R tractors just require a lot more attention to keep them operating. The muffler has to removed periodically, taken to a specialist and burned out. Multiple sensors disable the tractor and have to be replaced each year. Turbo issues. Unknown/unfindable “loose wire” issues. We’ve had 9 or 10 R tractors and the story has been the same on everyone of them
@@johngreer3004 open cab 4430 is on my top 5 all time JD tractor list. I have a few videos with ours in it. It’s a power shift with clamp on duals. Absolute beast.
Thanks for the video. In many areas in the USA they have severe frosts that restore the structure of the soil. Surely you don't have enough frost there? Here in the Netherlands we like to loosen the soil deeply in the autumn to get rid of the water in the winter. And won't the soil dry out too much by doing this in the spring?
Our ground does not freeze. Heavy rains compact clay soils. They have to be plowed as close to planting time as possible. We do subsoil the low bottoms in late fall to prevent them from becoming ponds and holding the winter rain water until mid summer.
Hey Patrick . Been watching for a while now. Never seen a produce farm of this size before. Must take a lot of work. I have a 2 acre garden and it keeps me busy
Most of the big tractor/implement videos are of the row crop side (peanuts, corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, grain sorghum). I use the big stuff to do land prep on the produce also (peas, green beans, butterbeans, potatoes), but the acreage is way less.
GATA! What any of my other videos and you’ll see me representing. I was there during the Adrian Peterson era and a few years after. Back in them days Paul Johnson stomped mud holes on every team that came to Our House.
Your lucky you don't have rocks, I couldn't get from one end of the field to the other without breaking every shear bolt. Will you plant the seed directly over where the shank went? I didn't notice if you had autosteer RTK or not.
Subsoiling is done at slight angle to how rows will run. A field cultivator runs just in front of the planter. I explain that in the corn planting video I posted yesterday
The online store I purchased this hat from also had Oliver and Alis-Chalmers hats. I’ve never owned an Oliver, they to are exceedingly rare around here.
The seller (in Kansas) said it needed a head gasket per his John Deere mechanic. When we took delivery (in the fall) we had the local JD rebuild it. That said it still has the break-in oil in it, which is designed to burn towards the end of break-in period. It is still in the “safe” zone but has started creeping down the stick just a little.
@@peanutsmith1462 no, b/c it has 1,450 pounds of added weight (besides the huge inner wheel weight) per side on the rear wheels. The duals are also made of thicker metal than standard duals to allow for all that weight. Evidently in the parts of the country where it’s to cold to put water in the tires they get thicker wheels and add more weights
In this video I am ripping 160 acre corn field. It took about 11 hours. I’ll run the field cultivator right ahead of planter as soon as temperature gets right. It will take less time as it will be traveling faster and is a little wider.
I believe all JD switch plows have 20” bottoms. I have a video from this time last year of 4755 pulling a 5 bottom JD plow. We’ve never had a Case tractor, but I’ve heard the 1086 was a beast in it’s day.
Not sure what you mean by desert land. Perhaps you are referring to the myth commonly spread by no-till enthusiasts that tilled dirt is dead dirt. There is no science behind those claims and they are easily refuted with even the most basic knowledge of agriculture/biology. The ground seen in this video is full of life as evident by the variety of live “weed” seeds that sprout throughout the year. Henbit, winter rye, and several other species spring up every winter without seeding. Texas panicum, coffee weed, buffalo grass, & morning glories spring up all throughout the warmer months without ever being seeded. Nematodes are also alive and well in the soil. Deep tillage helps combat them but never eliminates them. Not tilling results in nematode population explosions which of coarse severely damages/kills the crops we plant. There is still more microbial life in abundance in this soil as it is planted in peanuts every third year and I don’t have to inoculate them because the bacteria needed for them to fix nitrogen is already present in the soil. If I was killing the microbial life I would need to add inoculant to my peanut seed for them to grow properly….but I don’t inoculate this field and it is some of the finest peanut dirt in the country. UA-cam No-till enthusiast love to talk about worms in your dirt. That is of course an amazing display of ignorance as earth worms prefer saturated soils and row crops prefer well drained soils. Row crops (peanuts, cotton, soybeans, corn, grain sorghum, peas, green beans, Butterbeans, potatoes, onions, etc) and earthworms literally prefer opposite environments. If earth worms are thriving in your field then your crop yields are being diminished from poor drainage. Nothing but facts, science, and reality here.
The manufacturer quit making this particular style ripper years ago. A used one similar to this at auction may go for $10,000-$20,000 depending on condition/size/options
@@danielsboro we use to run a lot of little perkins motors on generators for irrigations. Still got 2 Massey Fergusons (135 & 165) with them. They are really reliable little engines.
that deere dont look like a tractorjust cause i made a remark about ol deere john no need to run me over got some missouri gumbo you would have a different story
The difference in workability of soils amazes me. I don’t have experience in Missouri gumbo, but I have visited some delta farms in Arkansas and Mississippi. They ran combines through standing water on their fields. If you get a combine within 100 yards of standing water in our red clay fields it will sink to the frame.
Turning plows (aka moldboard or bottom plow) take soil from the bottom of plow depth and flip it with soil at the surface. This is a subsoiler. It doesn’t bring up dirt from the tip of the shank and transport dirt from surface to the bottom of the shank. The thin shanks slide through the ground loosening it throughout their length while the row of S tines behind them stir the top couple of inches of soil which is then leveled by the drag pipe. This can be seen in the clip where run over the GoPro. It gets rolled by the shank and then thinly covered by the S tine. All the fertilizer and GoPros remain in the top 2 inches…..exactly where we want it.
Patrick keep on keep`in on. Love the sound of that JD.
Thanks Chris.
Man you have making that 8530 work for its place on the farm. You have my two favorite tractors, the 4960 and 8530. Two of the best ever.
& a 4430……3 of the best ever made
@@PatrickShivers I'm so old I've driven an "R".
Just love hearing that 8530 putting in work... Sounds great!
Definitely sounds better than the regin R series tractors.

It's SO DEEP Papi
We used to rip about 30” deep ahead of a crop of potatoes. Some of the other farmers around here asked us why we went so slow pulling the ripper. 🤣
That’s MEGA deep! What were you using to pull it that deep?
Growing up,we have a neighbor who ran a White 2-175. I,too, have never seen a White cap.

Was what as good as they looked? I thought I must have eaten smoked oysters in this video, but I checked and I didn’t 🤷🏼♂️
How long will those new tires last pulling something like that?
If you stay off the pavement & don’t run over deer antler sheds they last a long time.
Nothing sounds like a 8530 or 8410 my favorite tractors has it burned any oil yet
