Drone footage makes the field look like a quilt. My wife is a quilter, so I know. Beautiful. You should be a teacher the way you explain everything so simple where even a country boy like me can understand.
You are the first American farmer I've seen on U Tube running Lemken equipment. I believe that Lemken makes the best cutting smoothest leveling bottom plows on the market, I'd love to see you running one of those on here especially with the separate cultipacker tool.
Haha...Watch out Patrick, one day we might get a video of you in a Fendt tractor. The Germans build their farm equipment the same way they build their cars, precision engineered quality and performance. Beautiful video, you have some of the best UA-cam farming POV cinematography and composition out there. Great drone work too! Love it as always...

Field cultivator on steroids. I like that! You said a mouthful, my friend. There is a big, BIG difference between a tractor driver and an operator. This has always been one of our major problems. An operator takes pride in what he's doing. A driver doesn't care. All he's looking for is quitting time. Plus the fact that he keeps most of your $h!t tore up and in the shop.
Great video Patric. I had some questions and after watching you helped understand the concept better. I was thinking why not just use a cultipacker and be done with it but that would compact the soil more and that’s not what you’re looking for. Interesting piece of equipment. 👍👍
Great video.That attachment looks like it does the job well.. I do like the adjustment that you can make on that.. But with any nice attachment comes with a pretty Price tag!!
Another informative and well filmed video Patrick ❤love the county music at the end 👍trying to name that tune …🤣 go on give us a clue ( Angie baby )is kinda revolving round …… the lemken makes a great job on top of the ploughing on the heavy clay I used to use a Dutch harrow way way back to do a similar job 1970s) nowadays the farms round here run lemken power harrows and for min till seedbed for corn something called a sumo ,trio or Quattro if you have ever seen one ?

They do slightly different things. A KMC is perfect for running close behind the plow before top moisture leaves. This machine is better with less top moisture, a few days behind the plow.
Patrick, was this machine a prototype? One of them packer wheels is dinging something else starting at about 3:33. Why on earth didn't they test it before demo ing it with you? Otherwise, it's doing a very good job in one pass on plowed ground.
Different goals. This piece of equipment is extremely durable and will last decades. The trade off is it is extremely heavy, narrow, and requires a large tractor to pull it. US equipment is less durable, far less expensive, much wider, and can be pulled with smaller tractor. It’s basically two different mind sets.
@@greenboyatgafarms2250 when working for my dad we had water in tires of the tractor I used to pull the 12 row bedder and the 12 row strip-till. I don’t recall if it was in 4 or 8 tires. I don’t run water on my farm currently as I have no need to.
Mr. Patrick you need to be at university teaching farming come on. You definitely have a PhD! What happened to the peas in Florida? That Deere is a beast of burden.

Seedbed finisher looks very nice, Lemken makes good equipment
I drive by Elite AG on my sales route on Thursdays. Just up the road from that auction site you went to a month or so ago.
Yep. Elite always has some interesting, never seen before, pieces of equipment
Certainly has great results and a nice seedbed.
Patrick excellent video. you know i love tillage.
Sure does a nice job. Thanks Patrick.
Thanks for watching Mike

Enjoyed video!!
Thanks!
Looks like it does a good job.
I was well pleased. We ran it on disced, subsoiled, and plowed ground
Shout out to Elite Ag! 😁😁😁 Wow, your subs are growing fast! I knew they would, great content!
400+ videos in 4 years……I call it the slowest growing channel on the internet, however, lately b/c of my auction videos I have picked up some steam.
☺That's actually where I picked up the channel, at your auction video.@@PatrickShivers
Looks great! Anything to save a tillage pass 👍🏼
Looks good, but sounded like you had clothes pinned some playing cards in it around 4:00 minutes 😂😂😂. Great video, and well explained!
Damn. I wish the trees were green where I’m at! Nice rig!
Hang in there, warmer weather is coming.
Pulverizing those clods an leveling soil up very nicely! Good size patch.😅

Hello, Patrick! German engineering, smart and tough...
Sometimes a challenge to find that operator versus a driver.
Yep
Heck yeah
Great video brother! Looks like a fine implement. Do you like it more than the kmc field cultivator?
They do slightly different things. A KMC is perfect for running close behind the plow before top moisture leaves. This machine is better with less top moisture, a few days behind the plow.
ok i see
I really do Lemken and how it makes a nice smooth seed bed. The only thing I don't like how it leaves the groves.
The rep said it helps slow down/divert a little runoff.
@PatrickShivers . Oh ok. Well that's a good reason for it. I do like the lemken
Patrick what are your speed parameters when comparing this to a "regular" field cultivator meaning were is the sweet spot?
It’s different per application. I ran it on disced ground around 7 mph, on subsoiled ground 5.5-6.5, and on the plowed land around 5 mph
Patrick, was this machine a prototype? One of them packer wheels is dinging something else starting at about 3:33. Why on earth didn't they test it before demo ing it with you? Otherwise, it's doing a very good job in one pass on plowed ground.
I can’t figure out if its that light bracket on back or what it is. All bearings are good. It’s not a prototype.
@@PatrickShivers Sounds like one of the scrapers on the rear roll is ticking against one of the wheels to me.
Excellent content, im not a farmer but it appears that the European style equipment coming over is more recent occurrence
Yep. Markets are integrating.
Thing does a pretty job. Wonder if they make an 8’ model
I don’t know. They do make them up to 40’
@@PatrickShivers how’d the 4960 handle that one?
@@SHfarms it can pull it, just has a hard time picking it up.
They make them down to 3 meter/10 foot. Going to be heavy though, 3400 lbs.
I hear they make a nice plow also brother
That they do!
Like your videos. Why can’t the U .S make good , long lasting equipment like that ??

US equipment is less durable, far less expensive, much wider, and can be pulled with smaller tractor. It’s basically two different mind sets.

Howdy Tug
what speed do you operate it
I was running 5-6.5.
*just wait till you run a fendt!*
I’d love to run one. They are out of my price range.
Do you run water in your tires?
There isn’t water in those tires, but sometimes we do run water
@PatrickShivers do you run water in both front and rear tires? Just wondering I do in both of my tractors, but some only run water in the back tires.
@@greenboyatgafarms2250 when working for my dad we had water in tires of the tractor I used to pull the 12 row bedder and the 12 row strip-till. I don’t recall if it was in 4 or 8 tires. I don’t run water on my farm currently as I have no need to.
Are you going to grow soybeans this year?
Yes. Group 4
What the sound?
A bearing
It’s not a bearing. I can’t figure out what’s doing it
Mr. Patrick you need to be at university teaching farming come on. You definitely have a PhD! What happened to the peas in Florida? That Deere is a beast of burden.
We are about to pick florida peas in 3-4 days
