I farm in kinda the southeast corner of Idaho and just started watching your channel and love the content. I always enjoy seeing real world tests and hearing why others do it the way they do. We demoed a Rubin 12 a while back but we farm in the hills so a lot of gullies and diversion damns very uneven ground and it was just to long and would leave skips and being lightweight it struggled to do a good job on hillsides and rocky ground. Ended up with a kinze with 26 inch discs and a rubber roller absolutely love it
I just found your channel. I live in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Cleveland Mississippi. I farm corn, cotton, rice and soybeans as well as run a small precision land leveling business. Prior to this I drove a truck over the road hauling bulk commodities in a hopper bottom. I used to deliver organic corn and soybeans to Horizon Dairy near Burley Idaho. I absolutely loved going up there. It always reminded me a lot of home with the ag planes in the sky and and all the farming and irrigation going on. Always said if I leave Mississippi that I was relocating to southern Idaho. We’ve got a Deere speed disc that we pull with an 8RX370, I think the Lemkin is a better disc.
I like your explanation about the equipment because you give more authentic information than the company assistant you have great knowledge in these equipment I like easy road transport because in our country tractor implements are too wide but are folding types due to which road jams and accident occurs I also want to make modern equipment and also fond of modern farming
the ground there seems very soft and dried out which would make it very easy to plough and seed.The areas that get more rain would make a difference on how it looks after the field is ploughed.I really like the idea that u give other brands a chance and not everything has to b green.Thanks for the good videos from all parts of farming
The planters are bullet proof, they are built solid. The folding could use some improvement on the 12 and 16 rows, of you're not level when you begin to fold, one wing will trail a bit and then you have to either help it by hand over a bit, or fold open and look for level ground. The discs are good as well, but here in Africa in my area the Case edges them out, those crumblers does create a nice bed, but they still are better than any other discs around.
@@RockyMountainFarmerof course! I’m about 30 minutes North of you guys and haven’t farmed since I started school. I miss it everyday. I’m glad I found someone on UA-cam who does spuds at home!
Also the video seems quite biased. The part at like 1:19:36 you say the one has a lot less dirt lumps even they almost look the exact same. I don’t think I would even know a different disc would have even went in the other spot
It is a little harder to tell from the dirt clods. A couple of the discs did crumble decent, but when you dig down and see the ridges on the bottom, where it worked the working profile, there’s definitely a difference
Funny how you farm guys go gaga over farmer equipment. Of course without you we would all be starving. I watched the whole two hours. You and your team are awesome!
@@RockyMountainFarmer we have a kinda rare tulip mulidisc. It has 23 inch discs and 2 big crumblers one is 1 7/8 inch diameter tubing and 20cm inch ish and the other is 1 5/8 and maybe 18 in diameter. Don’t think think I’ve seen any others that big. The others have 1.5 diameter and claim there the biggest. So we love it for lump breaking and that is our main use. We are just looking to maybe upgrade width wise from 13 to like 17 or 20 feet. We got a 7290r now and has a lot of power to pull ours
I feel that your analysis was somewhat slanted. The Versatile unit was an offset disc which is a primary tillage tool not a finishing tool. You won't have put a moldboard plow in the trial. You said that these were the best of the compact discs but the Salford wasn't tested and it has to be considered at least one of the best.
Lemken heliodor 9 is a ready nice unit,one cannot beat the vibration breakup of the soil with all those springs chattering all together,as they roll,,surely the price is higher than the rest using cheap torson rubbers,, the spacing is great also and the test shows hands on the differences
Every machine works differently in different conditions and talking about harrows on each machine most manufacturers offer 3 or more options i love the john deere rubber packer roller and like how the horsch doesn’t leave ridges under the loose soil in my conditions
Yes, but have you ever tried a Lemken because I guarantee it would outdo John Deere or horsch. I’ve seen them compared in many different soil conditions, and Lemken always wins.
@@RockyMountainFarmer we did but as u showed lemken has many machines we only tried one of them up against a deere, horsch, caseih, salford, and a McFarland, all at the same time same conditions in my field that was super heavily packed corn silage ground and old hay ground last fall we found horsch to be the clear choice for us that was are opinion at the end if the day… all the sales representatives cameout and setup and ran there own machines but i believe huge in different conditions takes different machines
Yeah, it would be awesome. If there was just one machine that would work for everything and every condition I’m glad you were able to find something that worked.
Typical American tire layout, including the 1042, no one in Europe uses such tires for normal work, unless it is for specialized crops and, for example, digging beets.
@@RockyMountainFarmerthere are also many crops of this type in Europe, but a specific tractor is intended for this purpose, and for crops there are at least 650 machines and sometimes even a semi-detached machine.
Not everywhere in the world there are soils like those in the USA, in Poland and in Europe in general, plowing is still very often used. And here, with this plow, I miss Campbell and Crosskil tillage rollers for these conditions
Lemkin sure should have good hardy equipment they have been around a long time my uncle used to buy a lot of there stuff still got some of there spare plough parts when we was tidying up😂😂😂😂😂😂
I promise you that planter is build harder than a JD or a Case, here in SA they will go more than 10 years without any wear and tear apart from opening discs etc, those frames are bullet proof, built with StrenX steel. As far as the folding goes, mine does tend to sometimes have to be folded open again if you were not level when you started to fold
Are the competitor discs set up by lemken? Not really fair to the competition I doubt they put more time in it setting up compared to what they did to there own i lemken makes good equipment but goad that colour is so ugly lol
They are selling their products, of course they are going to find faults in their competitors. All depends on ground conditions and soil type, Irish soil is too heavy, as is other European countries and if running after a plough or not.
You’re right different soil conditions require different implements to work them up that’s why I would suggest getting a hold of your Lemken dealer and demoing one and see what you think. All I know is I have seen these implements run in many different conditions and Lemken is always on top.
@@RockyMountainFarmer in Ireland, getting demos is next to impossible. And with respect, I don't have an active UA-cam channel that's can do free promotion for them and get a price reduction when buying. Lemkin is not a popular brand here, Kvereland, Amazon and Claydon are the most popular brands here and have a much better back up service. Love seeing what you do on your farm.
Well, I can say that I’ve never gotten a discount because of my UA-cam channel but I agree with you that if you’re gonna buy a piece of equipment, you need service to back it up, so yeah if you don’t have service it’s not worth buying.
You did a wonderful job at making this video. It was very informative and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for all your hard work.

What a planter the fact that it folds up is genius
It’s pretty awesome

Just looking at the planters for a bit it sure does look heavy duty.

Have you listen to the Fendt tractor , I think 15 till 1700 rpm.
Yes, we did. We have run many fendt tractors, both in demo and at these field events.
Funny how you farm guys go gaga over farmer equipment. Of course without you we would all be starving. I watched the whole two hours. You and your team are awesome!
Awesome! Thank you!
Amazed at a reversible plough, yes Americans you don’t have to drive in circles all day
We’ve had reversible plows for a long time, but this one’s definitely an improvement
The recent don't stay chunky. Is your look at the mole bird in its longer than the ones here in the state?
They actually make one that is even longer than the one that was in the video
Lemken❤👍👍👍
Agreed
So what machine would be most comparable to like a pro till. Rubin 10, or 12 and is the helodors a lot there. Did you see a guy from hanlon ag there?
I would say either the Rubin 10 or the heliador would be the most comparable, and I probably did see him there. I just didn’t meet everybody.

I’m sure they would bring out a demo if you have a dealer nearby.
Most defiantly think. I was in to the Dalman . good video's
Thanks for watching
I'm impressed by old versatile . If it had a basket or two in back would crumbled all ,and smaller disc at ends would not make ridge .
There’s a lot of ifs there, the reality is it doesn’t have those things
Both comments are true. And I was cheering for the old school disk.
I feel that your analysis was somewhat slanted. The Versatile unit was an offset disc which is a primary tillage tool not a finishing tool. You won't have put a moldboard plow in the trial. You said that these were the best of the compact discs but the Salford wasn't tested and it has to be considered at least one of the best.
I’m sure they would’ve tested more but this was all they had access to. They weren’t able to get discs of other brands.
I would like to see with stubble or more organic matter.
Would be interesting how the lemkin compare against Salford tillage tools
It’s more like the beach than a field, anything would make a seedbed in that.
You would think that anything would make a good seedbed, but only the Lemken discs actually did the other ones left it a cloddy mess
We in the Mississippi Delta haven’t used a turning plow in over 40 years.
We don’t use them much anymore here in Idaho either.
very informative
Glad you think so!

What were they planting with those fancy drills?
So at this, they weren’t actually planting anything. They were just showing you how they run.

An adult Candy Store!!
i have absolutely no idea what these things are or what they do
It’s just a bunch of different types of tillage equipment
Hopefully guys aren't using moldboard plows in the US. We need topsoil and worms. Not another dust bowl
We actually don’t even use a turnover plow where we farm just use a karat 10 chisel plow to break up the ground and mix in the fertilizer.
Can always use slat boards
Not everywhere in the world there are soils like those in the USA, in Poland and in Europe in general, plowing is still very often used. And here, with this plow, I miss Campbell and Crosskil tillage rollers for these conditions
@@RockyMountainFarmer in short how to kill the soil 2.0 😂
Two big ole grain fed boys I’m talking about! 😂😂😂
They grow them big here in Idaho.
Id love a rubin 10/600 kua
It does seem pretty nice
Hope no one will get Valley Fever from all the disturbing the soil……common issue in Arizona!
I’ve never heard of that
Lemkin sure should have good hardy equipment they have been around a long time my uncle used to buy a lot of there stuff still got some of there spare plough parts when we was tidying up😂😂😂😂😂😂
They do make good equipment
You don't do deep tillage
We go 12 to 14 inches with our chisel plow
