Because of your association with Ryan and his channel I have learned a lot about bout your products. Definitely on my list when I need new haying equipment.
Only a suggestion of what we used to do with our bagged fertilizer in the 60's. We would pull the string about 3/4 of the way and still leave it attached to the bag. It's enough of an opening to allow the seed to flow freely out of the bag and a lot easier picking up the bags with everything still attached and discarding when grabbing the bags, strings and paper bonding wrap. Of course, we use to have 100 or more bags to deal with and not just four....lol
If anyone ever questioned how much math farmers do, this will illuminate a little of the answer. The drill takes "a controlled spill" to a new level of precision. Thanks for the video! (Hannah seems to be quite good as a helper, by the way.)
Crazy how far technology has come. We have the same john deere drill and our calibration steps was to plant and go based on acreage and how much you used. But like you guys, it still gets the job done.
As a mentor, you should keep Hannah engaged in the calibration, and then together repeat it several times together to get the steps down pat, perhaps even write-down the steps as you will both forget them in a few days. She would be so proud to be able to do this all on her own if needed, and perhaps even run the grass seeding operation while others are busy preparing ground.
TommyTester I let Ryan learn it first and go through all the teachings. Then he can cut through all the technical stuff and just tell me what to do and what buttons to press 😁
Ryan, Your girl Hannah is going to give you a run for your money. I like her wit and smarta__ she comes back at you. She is a good fit. Enjoyed this vlog, Gives me a new look at new equipment in the Farming world.
Go buy a plastic sled, the ones that are rectangular and have handles on the sides. Cut the very front edge off. You can lay seed bags down on em, open the end of the bag and just pour it in to the front hopper/rear hopper etc. Beats the hell out of hand strain. If you got a hoist you can throw straps under it and use it as a lift-skiff. Farming is about making sure everything is as easy to do so the long hours don't kill.
Randy Williams Travis has already said that it is unlikely that they will plant beans with a drill anymore as the accuracy and depth control of a planter is far greater.
Only 10 feet wide, so it'd take them about 2 months straight to plant their beans with it... just too narrow to be much use for big acreage... Fine for seeding waterways and a couple small hay patches, but for large acreage not so much... Pretty swanky having a $30,000-40,000 new no-till drill to plant waterways and a couple hay fields... OL J R : )
What kind of grass did you put in the Kuhn, I am looking for a good grass mix for my cattle and what you are putting in sound like what I am looking for do you have a website to that brand of seed?
If the soil is warm enough to seed. One to three inches of snow will melt rapidly. And as long as your soil is not hard. It should give you good germination and emergence moisture. We down south do not have the luxury of having snow rehydrate our fields.
hi ryan i love ur content and u really bring me up when i am down and u make me have inspiration for farming and i think u should do a video on zoom and zoom fans just hit me up if u decided
Buenas tardes,me encuentro en España, Europa. soy seguidor de este canal, tengo una pregunta, observo como cultivando, sembrando etc.. trazan curvas en varias direcciones,¿PORQUE? La logica trazaria lineas rectas.
Be careful you two, your not practising social distancing. Remember 6 feet apart for safety or put a mask on it. But all joking aside stay safe and stay healthy. R..
Yes! I still love how farms work videos, but I wish they were more like the videos from 2 or 3 years ago. They were more down to earth, no fancy technology, no demos. Better yet they still had jami around, not this intern. But still great!
@@benny8300 If you listen to the video he clearly tells the guy after he thanks him for coming down to demonstrate the calibration procedure "we'll get it back to you as soon as we're done"... meaning that they ONLY have it for a SHORT TIME, and therefore DID NOT BUY IT... merely a "free demo" to get some free advertising for Kuhn/Knight, like the poo spreaders they demoed last fall... Later! OL J R :)
@@benny8300 Because she actually was an intern working on the Kuster farms. I am not sure if it was a paid internship or an unpaid internship. She was there to learn more about farming from them.
GT Farming - They did an in-depth live stream answering all questions. Ryan said he wasn’t happy in his other relationship and ended it. Him and Hanna have many common interests and probably a better relationship. Age should never be an issue!
Go back and watch their livestream! It explains the whole thing. She is the “new” girl friend! Is easier to follow the plot if you watch and “like” every video.
Love your content but your fisheye camera makes your videos really hard to watch. Have you not noticed how bad it is? Everything is extremely distorted.
Typical Go-Pro... fisheye lens for filming mountain biking and snowboarding type stuff, nothing 'up close". I think the new ones DO have a setting to "electronically" compensate for the fish-eye effect... Later! OL J R : )
In my opinion khun make crap equipment just hunks of crap. Apart from the hay tedders they are the best other than that i wouldnt but anything khun. If you want a good strong and reliabale drill that will never let you down buy a vaderstad hands down the best drills in the world.
This seeder looks "okay" but IMHO the front gauge wheel and rear press wheel on every opener is overkill... if the field is THAT uneven, you should have done a better job preparing the ground for planting! I get that it's supposed to form a "walking tandem" to keep the opener blades at a more consistent depth than the rear press wheel alone will do, BUT it's a VERY complicated system with a LOT of extra moving parts, and those LONG openers are gonna create a HUGE amount of side-loading of the drill opener suspension arm(s) going around a curve or seeding corners... all that will add up in premature bushing wear and side-to-side 'slop' in the openers over time... Just a LOT of added complexity and expense (and parts) for what is a minimal problem... if you need THAT good a depth control, just go to the side-gauge wheel models like a planter unit has... Seed boxes and meters look neat, cool idea with the spiraled fluted feed rollers in the meters, so they release seed almost constantly and evenly from one end to the other, instead of each flute dumping over into the seed tube at once as the fluted feed wheel rotates... Again not sure of HOW MUCH of a problem that *actually* is, but it makes sense that your seed flow would be more consistent that way... "seed spacing" accuracy is nonexistent with a drill, by the time the seed shakes down through those long convoluted tubes to the openers and into the ground, BUT at high seeding rates the spiral fluted feeds WOULD be more consistent than the straight ones. Course I'm sure they're also more expensive to produce and therefore cost a lot more money. I've run Kuhn equipment and it does a good job, but I wouldn't buy one of their disk mowers-- when the disk hits something, the entire top shaft is designed to shear off and toss the disk out the back of the mower, because they mill a slot in the shaft just above the seal that reduces the diameter down from about an inch or so to smaller than a dime, so when it hits something this "weak point" snaps off to protect the gears in the cutterbar... Wouldn't be such a BAD idea, but Kuhn DOES NOT sell ANY of the parts necessary to repair the top-service hubs on their cutterbars... so when it shears off, you don't just get to buy a new shaft and install it in the existing bearings and hub and gear, NOPE you get to buy the ENTIRE ASSEMBLY for about $250, versus about $40 for a New Holland shear hub, or about 50 cents for a double roll pin in the Krone shear hubs... Get twine or dirt wrapped around the shaft and wear the seal out-- too bad, another $250 hub! Bearing worn and getting "sloppy", again "buy a new hub unit". Owners on the HayTalk forum have been swapping parts out of busted units to make new ones... gear and shaft from one, bearings from the other, seal and top disk hub from another... mix-n-match to save money... Kuhn says farmer's are "too dumb" to be able to set the preload on the bearings properly to rebuild an existing hub with a new bearing or shaft or seal, so they ONLY sell the factory-pre-assembled UNITS for BIG BUCKS... for that reason, NO Kuhn for me! OL J R :)
Great video, Ryan! We're looking forward to seeing footage from your time in the field with this drill.
Would be cool to see some of your hay tools out in the field as well!
@@FoolOfATuque You might be onto something. ;)

Good to see Hannah, stay safe my friends
Nice seed drill and looks easy to set up. Thanks for all your videos, they help this country boy tolerate living in suburbia :)

So far she’s helped calibrate it every time I’ve done it!
He has a video-tutorial since now.
@@HowFarmsWork Great. Could she now do it alone?

Great awesome video, love that new seeder , hope to see more videos
Quite a machine. Can’t wait until you start to put it to good use. Good to see Hannah!
If i live to be 150, ill never be able to get those stitched bags to open like you can Ryan 😀
Simple if you pull from the right end! OL J R :)
yey go Hannah nice to see you
You are the best Ryan keep up the great work
Can't wait to see the drill in action👍
Great videos ryan keep up the great work
Great video! Nice piece of equipment!
Keep up the great work bud! Beauty seeder!
Do you set it to the left or to the right of the indicator for rate?
Easy, peasy!!! Love the content.
I would love to get one of those on our farm
That guy from Kuhn has some sweet sideburns.
Hey Ryan!! Hey Hannah!! Don't let Ryan boss you around Hannah!!
Hey Darrin!
Ryan is a total boss. LOL
And vice versa.^^
Kuhn has nice stuff, i use some of there iteams.
Hanna the beast! She able toss those bags and more importantly, she is able to get them open. Those stupid string openers never seem to work for me.
Hannah “the intern” is becoming or already is ryans girl... so proud
phillip damrell look at both of their instagrams
Nice drill looking at great plains but may consider this. Do they make a fluffy seed box for native grass?
Great video Ryan
Great vid!
Hey Henri from HTP Boer Goat Farming, love to own a planter like that one day.
You should keep the interm full time and hire her
How much do these machines typically sell for?
Can you put fertiliser through it?
That Is one big drill looks cool

Will you use it for planting soybeans?
Caleb Grill I was going to ask the same question since you can meter it better than a normal drill

OL J R : )
If you got in a real pinch, could you drill soybeans with it? Would you consider some double crop wheat with it if you had an early harvest?
You guys are Twining!
What kind of grass did you put in the Kuhn, I am looking for a good grass mix for my cattle and what you are putting in sound like what I am looking for do you have a website to that brand of seed?
Ryan, your latest chisel plow video is showing it’s a private video when I try to watch it.
I lost the Technique of opening up the stiching bags. I had a very hard time opening up a bag of hardwood charcoal recently.
A big knife is a good backup. Lol!
they say pull here 99% of the time. if stiched, double stich cut on the left.
Very good machine
Sweet machines!

Contour farming, planting and tillage perpendicular to the slope of the hill. Helps to prevent soil erosion.
Thanks for the vid guys...
When I get out of collage I’m going to farm but should I also do UA-cam the way you do? I want to but I don’t at the same time????🚜
Be different when it comes to youtube add your own style
You need a scale like that. Do you get the scale with the drill?
This unit has the scale installed, but I didn’t want to mess with another monitor in the cab for the short time we have it.
She looks mad, "why are you making me carry the bags Ryan"
Nice hoodie..........Thank you
So what happened to Jammie?
You watch the channel and pay attention to it and you didn’t know that they broke up last year
Matthew Spaeth my bad I don’t watch the show on the daily bc I have a cattle and horses and a farm to so i spend most of my day and night outside

Hi Hanna
Ryan, what happen to fixing the chisel plow video, I,got the notification you put it up, then went to watch and it says video has been set to private
That was an old video from years ago. Clicked the wrong button and it published
Wow even the main krone guy couldn’t even calibrate it wow 😳
HI FROM PA
You should have waited one day for this video to go live , then it would have been a grass seed video on 4/20 .. Sorry I'll leave now
Where’s Jamie
thebravo1994 they broke up awhile ago
is there something going on with Hanna and Ryan ??
@@gerryvanwoerkom2660
Jamie has been out of the picture for approximately five or six months. Hannah is now the interim/new girlfriend.
Trend Investor why call her the intern ?

"An intern"? ...Is that what they're calling it these days. I noticed the wrist-band.
These days she’s called “The Intern Girlfriend”!
Just what I was thinking "The Intern" yeah right Ryan can't fool UA-cam viewers lol

Is that the chick who looks like Meatloaf?
Thought she was going to hit you opening the bag
👍
I guess Jamie is history?
Yep thwy brome up awhile ago
Who is the girl?
Intern, and more recently, girlfriend.
What’s going on with Jamie, haven’t seen her in any videos lately
Her and Ryan broke up last year.
Matthew Spaeth
It's amazing you idiots know her name yet you're to stupid to pay attention to the videos and actually know whats going on.
Who else thinks hannah is alot more then Ryan's intern??
Robby Bachmann i was starting to think that. haven’t seen his old girlfriend in awhile either

not nice that the intern is being left out of the education/conversation around the 10 minute mark....

Yes.
Takes longer to calibrate the thing than it does to actually plant the seed. Hanna seems a little creeped out by the awkward flirting.
