Thanks for the ride around the ridge. The view of that valley is amazing. I believe that the area we see in the background was hit by corn shredding hale storms two or three summers in a row in the early-mid 1970's. That Duetz-Allis digger you are using looks just like one that my Uncle had and was sold at auction when he passed about 10 years ago. That auction was just a couple miles from your farm!
I have to disagree about the comfort. I've spent more time in one than in my house for the last 10 years, and comfort is not an issue. Big, well made seat, and everything else is where it should be. Great comment, though. 👍🤠
The sweet smell of spring soil. All of the snow seemed to keep the frost from going very deep. It's good to see you out planting. I pray you have a safe and successful season. Thank you for sharing another great video. God bless.
Nice use of your historic footage to illustrate your discussion points and the drone footage just put the topping on the cake. Your (to me) excellent husbandry practices take me back over 60 years as a young lad in the UK, part timing on local farms. Keep up the good work!
VTs I think are the ticket if you need to do tillage for say planting an alfalfa seeding. The problem is the speed and HP requirements. They say 10 hp per foot. There is a few guys using roller crimper to terminate rye and vetch prior to no till corn and beans.
I'm amazed at how rich your soil looks, how rock free it is and the nice color of it. You guys do a great job. Thanks for the video and keep them coming.
those fields look just like some of the farms i used to run a tandem axle lime truck on in lycoming county PA! Some of them used concern me with a full load of 15 tons, especially when the farmer said he wouldn't ride in the truck with me on the hills.
12 ft Great Plains turbotill takes everything my 4x4 boxcar magnum has in the hills if you set angle steep & sink it 4 inches; before I had it I tried my 1486 (180 at pto) & it didn’t like it at all. Neighbor thought my 1486 was sick & he brought over his big articulated white with duals all around & he couldn’t pull it up hills.
Nothing like the smell of fresh turned dirt to get ya in the spring frame of farming. Thanks for the video boys! Git after it. Knee high by the 4th of July.
Your coulter chisel is doing a great job. We like the fact that residue is blended into the soil rather than burying it like a moldboard plow. The last we plowed was to break out some sod strips for corn. Last fall I sprayed a couple of sod strips with burndown herbicide to weaken the sod. My son ran the coulter chisel over those strips this spring, it did a nice job...left a manageable amount of cover that the disk was able to break up.
I can’t get over how much of this hilly country has been cleared and put in crop production. The early pioneers must have brought their tree clearing skills with them when they settled this area.
Do you ever cut alfalfa hay early, if you get the right weather to dry, and then spray/ plant corn no till? Is what you call a digger what I would call a field cultivator. I always liked them over a disk. We have hills in Pa. like you have there.
Hi guys I'm from Northern Ohio we have some rolling ground but wow yours is rolling for no falling asleep driving lol just wondering if you made decision about old oliver sure hope you fix her love that old girl keep up the cool videos be safe
I think you guys should pick up a John Deere 9630 with a 48 or 50 foot wide disc. It may seem a little big at first, but think of the time or free up to do other things. 😂 if not deere, seeing this is youtube you could always grab one of those new production Big Buds they're building again. Good video guys I hope this springs going well for you
Have a 25' case-ih 330 turbo till needs 240 hp to do a nice job. 8100 won't pull it fast enough we generally use 9200 on it that is kind of overkill 9200 needs a 30'-35'. 8235R pulls it nice. i used to have a 4960 that was turned up to 240 it pulled it nice too.
B2, not too far off of that for primary tillage. Low 3 on the IH side, 2 on the M. Number 4 on an 8speed poweshift. Newer stuff about 5mph. Pre emerge spray works good at 5.2 5.4 mph. 6.2 is really flying spraying. John T.
Thanks for the video. Very pretty area you have with the hills. …but I can’t imagine being in equipment on those. We had a few hills to deal with when I was younger but they look like nothing compared to your area
Was running a 33 foot john deere vertical tillage on a 9r 540 a couple weeks ago near eau claire doing 10mph. Tractor was working pretty hard running 4 inches deep. Takes a lot of power
Hi Guys. Steve here in New Zealand. Any chance of have a date on the videos so can see the part of the season that you are working in. Winter over here in NZ
In your hills, you guys don’t have enough power or ass to pull a VT tool, especially a Salford. 10 to 15 hp per foot of VT tool here. And you best have a full power shift transmission 24’ Salford 2200 will give a 335 Magnum a work out at 10 mph. If it’s wet you better get slowed down enough before the headland because that Salford is heavy! She will push the tractor into a jackknife, don’t ask me how I know🤦♂️ The 335 weighs close to 30k. In my opinion the only way to pull a VT tool is with a middle bender. As for VT tools, Salford is by far the best, the rest are glorified disks. Enjoy the channel guys! Reminds of growing up on a quarter section dairy farm in the 80’s and early 90’s. Oh… please for the sake of my sanity….PUT the damn doors back on that 10, please! She’s to nice of an old horse to be running around without them😁
Am I the only one who has concerns about this operation? When I was 12, my dad would take me to a field and get me started. How old is this 'kid'?Listen carefully from about 8:34. Here we have an adult son, but Dad makes every decision- even down to fieldwork patterns. Listen to how many times Dad interrupts Son, in this video and in others. He really likes to hear HIMSELF talk. Fair enough that Dad has built this business and has lots of experience, but if he wants it to carry on, he must learn to listen and turn over decision-making at some point and on some level, and it seems late even now. I do realize that UA-cam video edits can be deceiving, and nobody died and left me in charge. I can only comment on what I have observed from following this channel. Advice to son(s): Take a good, hard look at your future. Dad is relatively young and active, and it's not a big operation. If you are ever going to be in charge of anything, you need to open your eyes and ears. Advice to Dad: Shut the hell up! Your children have learned more from you than you give them credit for. This is HIS channel, not yours. The more you step aside, the more you will be amazed at- and proud of- what they have learned from you. Harsh? Maybe a bit. Mistaken? Possibly. Uninformed? I don't think so- BTDT. 'I calls 'em as I sees 'em.'
I disagree. Aaron has his own home (not part of the homestead), a college degree, a full time job and a wife. I think he is very much in charge of his own life. He loves and respects his dad tremendously and I feel they make many operational decisions together. If Aaron felt like he had no say in anything, I don't think he'd be there. He's working with his dad because he wants to. He also knows his dad is very well liked and respected on this channel and probably a big part of the channel's success.

8 years of hay!
Sweet 7810
One of my favorite tractors!
Like all your family videos. Please keep them coming
Thank You
That body style of John Deere was my favorite
Always like father/son farm talk, very educational.
In our area some guys are chopping or combining rye off then going into stubble and vertical tilling alfalfa in
GREAT camera work. You are killing it. You should have 100K subscriptions. This is farming that I want to see. Keep it up.
Awesome views

Keep up the hard work! Love your videos! Favorite farm on UA-cam Hands down!
Your Dad is a National Treasure. Love the channel!
That chisel does a great job. Like what you do to try to keep the top soil in the fields. Sometimes there is nothing you can do with heavy rains
Great video 🇺🇸🪓🪵🪓🪵🇺🇸♥️♥️
The 7810 is one of the finest tractors ever made. May not be the most comfortable but, it is a reliable work horse.

So nice to see how you adopt to your type of land (Hilly) that is so different to just flat land thanks for video.

We have great plans turbo Max and we put in with a new Holland t8350

There are more trees now than there ever were. According to scientists

Love the video, for me the intresting thing for tillage is them high speed disks but ya need 14hp per foot

JD 7710, 12 ft turbotill and run between 8-10 mph. on flat gorund probably pull a 15ft but on the hills like you have 12 ft is plenty
I could use a subsoiler like your's
Does the soil have a lot of rocks?
Do you guys row cultivate or spray for your corn?
With all that tilt, I assume the front axle remains locked in?
Is that a Power Quad in your 7810? Looks like it's walking the dog with the coulter chisel!
What kind of shakes you running, It looks like 2 inch twisted shovels and what's the spacing Thanks.
4430 b1 or 2. 5-6. MPh.

Do more deep rooted crops on side hills low rooted crops beans etc flat land holds the soil better :)
I like plowing diskin and draggin my field. I own 8.5 acres 4.75 is tillable. 1965 case 930ck diesel 4bottom 710 case 8ft disk Kewanee drag
Weierd sounds from the hydraulic.😰
You need a red tractor ur 1066 probably pull better I like old red
i think its time for a drone.
710 international plow

LOOKS LIKE YOUR DAD IS LOSING HIS HAIR
Why do you bring this up?
Tillage on steep land is a no no! Your souls will wash away! No till or deep ripping is ok but not chisel plowing on slopes greater than 15%
Interesting discussion. How lo
ng has chisel plowing been common?
Good job guy's
