Dad used to use a 4 row mid-mounted Oliver cultivator on an Oliver 770. Did a good job, but not quite as precise as that 8RX 340! As far as knocking out corn on the headlands, Dad said, "If you can't make the rest of the corn more than make up for what you run over, you shouldn't be in the field in the first place." I've always believed that.
I can’t believe guys don’t understand this. Everybody was doing this up until the early 90s and many even in the later 90s and into the 2000s. This is good man. This is what I remember and we made plenty of money and we weren’t giving all that money to those big spray corporations, which I despise and are no good.
This is what I’m pushing. Stop the sprays. It’s just old fashioned farming and it works. I remember. Saves lives too.
I remember when I was young around 14. I use to cultivate corn and soybeans with a 5610 ford tractor and a four row cultivator and I had to look down at the front axle at a bolt and keep it lined up on top of the row to keep the tractor straight so I wouldn't plow up any crops.
Same here, still have neck problems from it LOL
All of those years we used our 1939 JD B and a two-row cultivator. Up and down and back and forth again and again. But it looked great when it was finished. I did a lot of thinking while cultivating - under the sun with the wind blowing and freshly turned soil.
Used a JD 50 with a two row cultivator many times.
We had a 2 row on our 77 Oliver and a 4 row on the JD G. That narrow front, no power steering, no live hydraulics G was a bearcat to turn around from a dead stop in the ends.
Farmall H with 2 row cultivator. No time to think because I was too nervous about running over plants and getting yelled at by dad.
@@acedecade8337 Yes, dad was not very forgiving about bent over corn. LOL
@@lfeco Yes, with that extra weight on the front from the cultivator it was hard to turn.
Corn that been planted with a planter that has automatic row shut offs looks so good on the end rows.
Great video , thanks for sharing love to see those big tractors working you always have great quality on your video,s
Oh how times and equipment have changed... Lol.... Thx Jason
I ran a JD 3010 4 row front mounted cultivator and JD 4020 6 row Henniker 3-point mounted cultivator many times growing up. It was always fun keep me your eye on the road marker trying not to have corn blight! Even more fun was trying to go through curves.
Great to see a video on cultivating and big organic farming!
Dad put me on old John Deere B with mounted two row cultivator in mid 70’s Transmission was 1-2 with high/low selection. Mechanical lift you had to step on a pedal to lift cultivator at end of the field Made for some long days
Seems like they need to do some more adjusting either on the speed or shovel placement as there appears to be little dirt rolled up onto the row itself which buries weeds that the shovel naturally can not reach. The use of shields is certainly a pain but when properly adjusted the payback is huge. t's like walking a tight wire.
Wow…… such accurate cultivation
Another quality video big T
👍👍👍 Nice cultivation video. I favour the red but that 8RX is a nice tractor 🚜
4010 and 4020 with 8row units was always fun
When I saw the thumbnail, I immediately wondered if you were at Fehrs family farm in NW Iowa. Not sure if you were at Fehr’s farm, but I was correct location wise.
I remember running over corn cultivating in our 4020 back in the day. Autopath and 8rx is a terrific combo for this job.
Yup that is us!
That’s cheating!! lol if your not bent sideways all day staring down a row with a wore out cultivator behind you and the iron worm hasn’t struck 6 times a round you ain’t cultivating corn right! lol!! It always looks so nice when it’s done though….unless you mess up next to the road so you and every neighbor can see it!! My how times have changed…8930 magnum and 12 row case IH cultivator and pulling a tank behind to sidedress 28%…..back in the late 90’s man that was definitely a part of my growing up. 👍
Interesting to see modern optimized solutions applied to the old problem of row cultivation.
Great video .......... last time i cultivated corn ....... was with a team of mules ...... 2 rows a round ........
My family (way back in the day) had a front mount 4 row cultivator on a John Deere 60 and a front mount 2 row cultivator on a John Deere B.
In high school back in the 80's i used our Allis Chalmers B to cultivate our sweet corn patch a single row of at a time. Dad told me to always keep the radiator cap lined up with the row, or else. Lol. Good times!
Cultivating videos are always appreciated, thank you for the video👍👍
One enjoy getting a chance to film them.
Was always interested in the turn around, thanks for sharing
The turn is a very popular question. I wanted to make sure to document it upclose.
❤ That's Cool 😎 Someone is STILL CULTIVATING❤😊
It’s neat to see how it would look today with modern high horse power tractors if was still a common occurrence.
Depending on the year we cultivate to aeriate the soil with a 12-30” folding IH on a Ford 9000.
$700,000 for that tractor is absolutely ridiculous, JD is ripping people off imho .How the heck can farmers afford new machines these days ?
Is it fertilized with pelletized chicken manure? Or what do they use? Hog manure is an obvious choice.
What needs to be checked?
@@bigtractorpowerI made the comment before I heard the organic corn comment. Singulation was bad in one spot and got better during the video.
Great video Jason. Love the Mennonite accent of the operator.
Great drone footage
Loved cultivating com!
I enjoy seeing any time I can.
I used a ford 7000 tractor & a 6 row John deere cultivator & had to count rows lol
#laurafarms she needs this
Saw a John Deere add several years ago for cultivators. Weeds don't compete with iron. Always chuckled at that add but it is true.
Dang. That’s 10 of me wide!
Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri
Hi James.
4 row on an Oliver 88 in soybeans. I did get a nice suntan!
That's what Energy Drinks are for! Bush/brush hogging isn't dull, there's always rocks and other things to keep aware of. Shed Antlers are h3√√ on tires, so my head is always on a swivel, especially looking at the next pass. Cultivating does look as dull as ditch water to me. Never did it, don't want to do it, and I will let the boss run the 90' sprayer so I don't have to cultivate!
Great tractor good job 👍
This is great tractor. Best tractor with good driver 👍👍👍👍
It’s does a good job.
Its not fun running over ends but we gotta do it right? Nice work jason.
Great videos
Ha, as the corn grows taller it will shade out that grass and weeds my foot. They should be flame weeding some of that and earlier than what they are hitting it at. Many big farmers trying the organic but they can't put the detail and give it attention it needs for that style of farming. Best of luck.
This farm has two RoGator self propelled sprayers converted into 60ft flamers that are used later in the season. You can follow their season on their UA-cam channel youtube.com/@fehrsfarmingorganic?si=jmALWtXPZ5nzNaId
In the cab ride along it is explained they run a rotary hoe, then a tine weeder and then 2-3 cultivation passes. They have a great UA-cam channel showing the crops they raise and the equipment used.
@@bigtractorpower Cool, I would have been worried for them (if that were my corn). Flaming has saved me a few years. Thanks for the informational reply.
Love that
It’s a nice way to control weeds.
It’s amazing how much technology has improved over decades and how few people are able to produce so much food or crops that can feed the population!!! So sad that the leftists have attacked our farmers and their livelihoods….
Parabens eu sou seu fã amo seu canal e seus vídeos sucesso sempre 👏👏👍👍👌👌🚜🚜🚜🇧🇷🇧🇷
Magnifico video amigo
Thank you for watching.
The cultivator is most definitely faster than 1 row at a time.... Especially on BIG fields
I like john deere farm 🚜
Awesome video 👍👍
If it not green it not to be seen y’all Andy the jd man let’s keep it green yall
Most boring job on the farm after a while had to fight to keep awake
Is it more boring than bush hogging?? I am from the south and that’s what we call brush hogging. lol
I don’t know, this task looks like it calls for a good degree of precision, say Blue Angels type precision. One little mistake and you may damage the roots of the crop you’re growing, which can be costly.
Can you imagine with auto steer? B o r i n g
That tractor is barely working
@@chrisstalsonburgefficiency
I'm just curious: how many gallons of fuel are used per acre in organic, full tillage farming vs NoTil?
this tractor john deere 830 had belonged to my boss's grandfather and then to the father, I can't tell you the number of memories I had while driving it
What are you talking about ????
You do understand this tractor hasn’t even been around for a long time right
Have you heard of farmers using flame weeding to kill weeds in row crop operations Jason?
Yes. This farm does later in the season. They converted a Row Gator to flame weeds.
@@bigtractorpower oh wow that’s cool. I read about that in Farm Show magazine a few years ago.
Great video Jason. Do they spray anything on the corn or when the corn is too tall that's it??
Good video.
Thank you Frank.
yeah i do oliver 1755 with a 6 row thirty case ih 183 cultivator.
Super💯video
This was a neat set up to film.
i see he has some build back better in his fields.
👍👍
Thank you for watching.
Can GMO corn be sold as organic? I used to cultivate with a Super A.
Good question. GMO can not be sold as organic. .
That's alot of weight to lift! GREW UP ON 2 AND 4 row front and rear mount.
It is. Cultivator take more power and strength to run that one would think. Front mounted 4 and 6 rows are neat.
The world needs to watch this video and understand why america feeds most of the planet !
Sadly that is no longer true
@@gregjames5070it never was true. We just told ourselves that to inflate our sense of self importance
Scuffling corn always made me nervous back in the 80's without GPS...if ya weren't paying attention you could wipe out alot of corn and we only had a 6 row scuffler
B&H Mfg Jackson MN offers a 36 row 30" cultivator. Would be fun to see that one in the field.
Wow I want to see that too. Thank you for the info.
@@bigtractorpowerI think its 30". Alloway mfg builds a 36 22".
My mom always cultivated with shields 1st and later took them off.
We did the same thing.
I absolutely hated cultivating more than any other farm job. I would much rather have baled hay. Hated sitting on the tractor from dusk until dawn. We would cultivate really close to the row, so you had to constantly be working the wheel. Also there was a lot of play in an John Deere 520 so you were constantly working the wheel.
GPS makes this possible.
😂😂you’re joking right?
I've said it before, but the 8RX tractors are just cool. Where is that young guy from? his accent sounds Scandinavian to me.
Yes he does.My dad was raised in NW Iowa. His mother was a Swede from South Dakota. The accent is still there today. Yes come out as yah. That’s a dead giveaway of the Scandinavian heritage.
Can I get more information?
Will they go in again before it’s all filled in?
Yes, the operator says this is the first of three or four passes. (depending on weather conditions, crop growth and etc.)
many a hour spent doing this
Fehrs Farming Organic?! 🤔
Good video!!
Yes it is. I mention them in the end of this video. Very nice farm.
@@bigtractorpower yeah, I saw that!! I made the comment at the beginning of the video!
What accent is that the guy in 8rx Canadian
I can’t see much weeds in this fields 😂
There were not. Just very tiny ones. They had been over the field twice with a rotary how and once with a tine Weeder. It’s always a battle keeping the weeds out when there is no chemicals.
You didn't watch the whole video then!
farmers should cultivate corn twice prevent corn from going flat.
Great video! Have you ever seen seen anyone plant and grow catnip on a commercial scale @bigtractorpower?
I have not. It has to come from some where. It would be an interesting topic. I have featured mint harvesting to produce the oil that flavors gum and tooth paste at
ua-cam.com/video/X7Xea_rm3ck/v-deo.htmlsi=HKQottrAbhi0eTRI
I know 3 global operations in the USA & Canada that farm catnip.
I’m happy to contact you. LMK
Anyone else see that it is deleted?
Cultivation was the best way to control weeds but people would rather spray cancer causing chemicals every time a weed pops up to support the chemical companies
you say 24 rows but i count 25...
They run one back on the already cultivated row on each pass. That is how they set them up to have 24 rows pass through and follow the width of the planter.
DUDE WAT... U SAID ORGANIC CORN... DUDE.. SMALLERS BEEN DOING ORGANIC CORN BEFORE YOU WAS BORN
DUDE! Stop with all the capitals, what's your point!!
