I've turned many acres of soil with a "breaking plow", "turning plow", ect...The first mistake you made was removing the coulters. When clean and free of rust, soil and residue do not stick and they serve the purpose of holding the plow in place as well as slicing through your cut.. The points and the wings need to be rust free as well. We used to take a side grinder with a wire brush and remove any rust that had accumulated over the seasons. We usually cleaned it up when we finished and rubbed axle grease on ours to prevent rust.
Thanks professor Harvey good to know
Or plow some good gravel first
This is great info to have thanks Harvey.
This guy knows what he’s talking about, I’ve plowed many acres also. I’m sure Daddy Corn Star knows how to plow so Cole ask your daddy!
Yeah removing the coulters was not great.
Come on Cole. Give Roman a hoodie. We have already accepted him as part of the family. ❤❤
Happy New Year to all of the Cornstar family! Cole I know you said that a member of your family was sick and I believe in the hospital. I am very concerned for you and the Cornstar family. Could you please make just a short video and let us know whats going on, why the long absence from youtube and posting videos, and has Nave had the baby and how they both are doing. Just a concerned lady wanting some reassurance from you. Thank you and God Bless you all.
Nave Cornstar (his wife) just posted a video a couple days ago. Have not watched it yet but they were both smiling.
Thank you.@@currentfaves65
Tune the plow with deep-suck shares and the JD has draft control for the 3 point. No need to take the coulters off, you will learn over time Cole.
Never used colters when I used to plow with an IH 710
My life this past two weeks. Work one day ripping for about 13+ hours. Rain dry out some 3-4 days later. Again 13+ hours. Rain again. Another couple days later. 18 hour day ripping. And later that day 5 hours washing the tractor of for the winter. A long couple of weeks when dry or frozen enough. Still way to wet to be ripping but needed done.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Oh and when’s sweeping when pushing or pulling dirt. Always do a tape on the concrete. You won’t leave those dirt streaks when you go for your next sweep.
Roman is the best. The videos with him in them are terrific.
I hope Cole is paying him portion of this video where he apear...
He’s awesome!!!
Give the man a hoodie!
Come on Cole, give Roman a Hoodie. He saved you Thousands of dollars on the electrical work in the New shop. Merry Christmas to everyone on your farm.
I remember on my grandparents farm in the 60s, the fields were rotated as crops were grown to feed the livestock on the farm. They were plowed one year and corn was planted. The next year the field was disced and oats and alfalfa were planted. The oats came up faster than alfalfa so it stopped the alfalfa from growing more than a few inches high. The third year the alfalfa took over and it would be cut at least twice to make hay bales or maybe chopped for silage. The fourth year if the alfalfa was still growing well, at least one cutting for bales would be made then the field might be used for pasture for cattle. The fifth year the field would be used for pasture as grasses overcame the alfalfa. After the last hay was baled for the season on the other fields the field would be plowed and disced to make it ready for corn again in the spring. Now. many farms don't have livestock and only grow crops to sell. Mostly corn and beans so they don't get a 3 or 4 crop rotation. Disease has become more prevalent They don't get the benefit of manure for fertilizer so fertilizers have to be purchased to maintain productivity.
Yeah that's what I remember from the 60's and 70's. I was taught growing up to diversify one livestock and 2 crops minimum. Rotate everything.
Poor Roman is cold, give him a hoodie. Nice work Cole. Merry Christman to the Cornstar Family
Cole please give your home boy a warm cornstar hoodie for Christmas
No! Keep the gag going until spring!
@TonyRule Cole is to self-centered to give someone a jacket because their cold.
@@Neverdie242 Their cold what?
But, no, he's not.
I think Santa may be bringing Roman a hoddie for Christmas.
Don't be a tight wad
Cole, get that young man who’s helping you a couple of Cornstar hoodies. He’s a good worker and he deserves them.
Roman and his leap of faith on the tractor 😊. Please can Roman have a cozy warm CornStar Hoodie?❤
Cole: Here's a tip for you. On your supply shelves(fittings, bolts, electrical,parts etc) Label the shelves using letters and numbers and then take a picture of each shelf with it's contents and number visible. Later if you are out in the field and need something, you can pull up the shelf pic and see if you have it, then if you do and someone is nearby to bring it to you, all you have to do is text them a picture of the shelf with the part you need circled.
Great idea
Give roman a hoody!!! 😂😂😂 poor guy has definitely earnt it!!! And FINALLY you getting the house sorted! Cannot wait for them videos and I bet Hneiva can't wait to have it all done too! Merry Christmas to the cornstars!!! ❤
Cole, you need to adjust the "draft" control settings on the 3 point controls. This feature utilizes a torque sensor that feels the pull on the tractor, when the pull is instantaneously decreased due to loss of traction, the 3 point is automatically lifts to transfer weight from the plow to the tractor rear wheels. This will compensate for wheel slippage. The sensitivity can be adjusted so it acts very quickly. You will no longer need to manually lift the plow except at each end of the field.
When you let the plow down let the 3 point down quickly and then the rear of the plow, this will increase the angle of the moldboard so it sucks into the ground in a short distance.
I got tired of looking for tools and finding duplicates. So I cleaned the drawers and went crazy and labeled each drawer of its contents at the front. great work ethic!
You probably should talk to some of the old-timers that have spent some serious time plowing. If the plow is steering the tractor something is grossly out of alignment. Get the plow set properly and it will take less power to pull. I'm not sure what's going on with plugging the colters like you did, your trash seems to be chopped small enough to flow through.
Living in Wi., we like to see Iowans do fall plowing. If it's an open winter with decent winds, we get to utilize that rich Iowa soil the following year.
I remember one bad winter like that back in the sixties and that was the last year we did fall plowing. Dad said we'd find a way to get it done in the spring, and we did. Hope that works out for you.
Aww, give Roman a hoodie! LOL. Sound was perfect again
A clean shop is a shop that never gets used
Yaaaaa buddy! I always clean by the seams in my garages. The hardest one is where the bikes and 4 wheeler is parked. It starts as just cleaning them up and ends with oil changes lol
Wonderful progress in the fields, in the outbuildings, and now we can look forward to house content!!! Merry Christmas to Cornstar Farms and all who reside under its banner. May God continue to bless.
It’s always the joy of the journey that is fun planning and watching our projects take shape and come together into comfortable and more productive spaces. Great job you guys. Looking forward to seeing the work on your house so your growing family can enjoy all that square footage! 😎
You need to hook Roman up with some merch, poor guy needs more layers!
build the bench bigger than you think you need - think about a welding table, get a radio base. pc and cheap tv you can use as a monitor plus speakers, do a big pegboard, don't throw out too much. the plowing should pay off - you will know in 11 mos when you get the numbers back
Remembering my late dad (1919-2004) ploughing 25 acres with a plough and 2 horses.
He started at the end of februari (when the ground wasn't frozen) and it took him until the end of the month.
All this new upgrade stuff on the fields. It’s gonna make harvest this year really exciting!!
Merry Christmas, Cornstars! Wishing all of you and happy and healthy 2024.
Cole training for the Murph WO. The Murph Workout is British Special Boat Service/US Navy Seal workout where you run 1 mile then perform 100 pullups, 200 pushups and 300 bodyweight squats then run another mile all for time.
You dont have to do 100 pullups, then 200 pushups, then 300 squats. You can break them down. I break it down into 4 sets of 25 pullups, 4 sets of 50 pushups and 4 sets of 75 Bodyweight Squats.
If you are a stud, you do the Murph Workout with a 22 lb plate carrier. 11 kilos (22pounds) is the standard NATO body armor plate carrier.
For those out there, if you are a male and you can do 50 pushups after age 40 you reduce your chance of a cardiac event by 82%
Great clean up in your heated garage!!!!!! I enjoy the organizing videos. Merry Christmas Cole, Nave and your children. So happy that you are going to work on your house.❤️🎄
Sure bring back childhood memories for me, walking through the deep furrow after my dad plowed, he was an awesome farmer!
Really, Cole, you need to come to Tennessee and clean our shed out..lol. You guys work so hard.
I plowed with a John Deere A with hand crank flywheel. Pulled two 14inch bottoms. No hydraulics. I was 13 years old. Wish I could do again!
The draft control is next to your 3 point raise lever, I plow by draft control. It automatically adjusts the load on your 3 point hitch and eliminates spinning out and manually lifting the front of your plow. Draft control also helps to save Diesel fuel. Deep suck shears help remove compaction and keeps the plow in the ground. The rolling cutters are essentially to cut through the cornstalks and trash. I only remove the rolling cutters when there is about 4 inches of frozen ground ,it's easy to break the shanks on the rolling cutters. I pulled 5 bottom 18 inch bottoms with a Case 2594 putting out 225 HP. 6 miles per hour slams the dirt down and shatters it quite nicely and ready for anhydrous ammonia application first thing in the spring. It also allows the flat black soils to warm up faster than conventional tillage. Good luck Cole !
Merry Christmas to you all, and give that man a sweatshirt. Lol
Thanks for sharing! Mold board plowing used to be my favorite job on the farm here in Kentucky. It was essential for tobacco farming. I sure do miss it. Great video.
Lateral file cabinets. Most oils, and coolants fit in the drawers. Also larger tools or grouping of. I have at work and my home shop. Most of the time only keeping what fits in the drawers. Most of the time grouping the stuff makes it faster and more efficient. Merry Christmas Cole and family
Well, lots to know about plowing but for me the very best is the smell of the fresh turned dirt.
For cleaning floors try using a green Sweeping Compound. It has a very light oil coating and gets the light wisps of the dust that always remain. Throw handfuls of the stuff on the floor and it collects dirt and dust. And you can reuse it depending on how much dust you collect.
I used too love moldboard plowing I have done it with a setup similar too yours where you put the wheels on one side in the furrow and I have done it with an articulating Steiger and a sunflower plow that was a pull behind not mounted too the three point like yours is and it had a wheel in the front that you ran into the furrow not the tractor tires and if I remember correctly you should be able too open the space between the coulter and the plow shear and I think it is a great idea to plow at least every three years or after you have corn in your crop rotation
I love when cooper is in the videos
If Cole is plowing, Cooper will be busy fixing.😈
I don't agree
Plowing is a slow process, but you will see some big benefits next spring. Along with the products you are putting on the ground, it will speed up the decomposition of the past crops, putting more nutrients in the ground. During the 90's, the switch was made on our farm to go with a heavy-duty disk with 32-inch notched blades. They go deep and you can plow up the ground a lot faster than with the standard bottom plow.
Agreed
Merry Christmas to the entire CornStar crew!
Farm work is interesting but can’t wait to see the house coming together. That’s where you hooked me in years ago.
I started watching because of the house clean up and am so happy you are finally getting back to working on the inside of the house. It will make it so much better for your growing family to have the house renovated.
I've never heard a plow breaking up compaction plows are known to make hard pans that roots can't penetrate. Maybe I'm wrong but sub soilers are what's needed for compaction as set them to depth off hard pan and they create a wave the fractures the hard pan.
correct that's the reason most people scraped their plows
No, plows are pretty much the answer for compaction. It’s one of the few remaining advantages they offer; whereas, they were previously used for weed control and bringing up nutrients, which herbicides and fertilizers have replaced. Another upside is that it increases the amount of lime you can use in cases where the ideal tonnage per acre exceeded top dressing recommendations per acre.
@bronzearmy2645 how is do moldboard plows fight compaction. I know they bury weed seeds at ideal depth not to grow and is best way to incorporate the organic material along with fertilizer and lime. On my farm where they always plowed at depth they plowed was hard pan that didn't allow roots to penetrate. Plowing large tracts of land with no filter strips with severe drought was what lead to the dust bowl. I'm not saying plowing isn't a good way to incorporate the fertilizer just saying it doesn't fight compaction. I'll be interested to see how Trippy farmers compaction tests work out with his sub soiler next year.
We use a L shape leg that bolts on so it subsoil 's 2"lower than the bottom breaking up the pan as you plough and you put one on every second leg takes more power so my have drop off a bottom depending on terrain /slippage 😅😊
Also with all deep tillage they are trying they’ll find next spring or during harvest if it’s a wet year they’ll make more ruts because the soils haven’t firmed back up.
Oh my goodness, you got that crazy fog too! We were down to 1/8 of a mile to zero visibility. It started at about 2:30-3:00pm and got worse. I called my daughter at work to warn her, and 12 miles away, no fog. Then it started to cool down, and the fog improved to 1/4 mile. It was so thick, it literally looked like I could move it with my hand! How you guys know what to do, when, with what equipment, why, boggles my mind. You and Cooper just jump on the tractor or combine and just do what needs done. The equipment alone requires a degree. ❤😊 Great job!
You might want a "Martin" floor cleaner. Makes a shop floor easier. 12:19 and you can fill the crack with silicone caulk .
Give Roman a hoodie 🤣
never plowed before, it shows. You do need the colters. It helps make a neat furrow.
You need a row of pallet racking all the way down the side of the shop. Then you can organise it into benches shelves and have overhead storage and mount the compressor uptop out the way with outlets and retractable hose reels in at least three places.
You should scrap off the mold broads off of dirt to help it pull better. The dirt shouldn't stick if you got a good finish on mold broad. Also the shares help keep the plow into the ground. Also set the tractor to grab the traction.
Plus the tillage helps compaction
Growing up, we had 2 plows we primarily used, Ford 140 and Ford 142 (made by Pittsburgh but not sure of equivalent models). The 142 was considered a "trash" plow and worked so much better in corn residue due to additional space between bottoms on the frame that allowed easier flow. Another variable was that, due to a lot of slopes & side hills on our farm, we didn't plow until spring to limit erosion.
Hard pan no problem The original no till/ vertical deep tillage tool is called a paratill. 18 inches deep no trace on top . by far the best hardpan tool
Exciting news about the house, can't wait to see the progress.
Roman, I bet Daddy Cornstar will hook you up with a hoodie, and since you are the new part time camera operator could you please sneak in a quick peek of the new Cornstar. 😁😁
The shop is looking more organized everyday ! 👍
Hahaha, r u a bot?
@@fastsetinthewest I'm a bot to have dinner, are you hungry ? 😏
@@dalegereaux1863 bot u r hungry
@@fastsetinthewest not yet, but soon.
@@dalegereaux1863 Delayed Delivery reply due to an automated response system malfunction. Stand by...
Just a thought run your air compressor line running done the wall and put hook ups every so often so you don't have to have such a long hose.
Great day for the shop stuff u had a rough day plowing good looking shop
It's always amazing watching you get projects done Cole so proud of all you have accomplished!!!
Cole finally learn the benefits of tillage? It's a miracle
hi Cole - i only ploughed once - and gave myself a huge fright! ploughing along there was a crunch, lurch and a large hole appeared next to the tractor. Looking down i saw drums with 'aircraft fuel - highly inflammable' on them. I flew out the door and ran to the army headquarters the other side of the field - all was well they were old WW2 drums. Ended my ploughling life there and then!! Don't plough anything up you don't want!!
🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS CORNSTAR!🎄
Now that you have the plow shined up, paint the molboards and shears with grease or waste oil and keep it inside. It will keep it from rusting.
Merry Christmas Cole, Cooper and DC!!
Thanks for the video 📸📸📸 bro... have a good Christmas 🎄🎁...... JJ....😊
Put the coulters back on and get them adjusted right and it will make it easier to pull
I stay in South Georgia we plow alot for peanuts every year but its not the same field because we have rotational crops like cotton,corn, soybeans etc but probably every 3 years all the will been plowed but plowing really helps even if its not every yet keeps the field breathing for moisture and to hold moisture for the other crops
It is not a seam in the concrete floor in the storage shed . It is a control joint it allows for concrete to crack in that place. rather then huge spider webs that run everywhere and get bigger. Like on the concrete underneath the new storage silos unfortunately.
Cole doesn't know shit
@@Mygirlfriend3141every comment you make is negative. Nothing else going on?
@@96lapiscoupe1 that's cuz I really hate Cole my comments on my favorite channel are always positive
Root plowing. Root plowing lifts and shares the soil without turning it. Plus it gets deeper.

Loved the plow video! I did that with the lawn, took soil samples, added lime and put down azomite which had most of the nutrients. Turning it in is the best way to incorporate and compost that corn residue. Let's see if your yields increase.
You should consider keeping the work bench closer to the man door. You will get tired of walking across the shop every time you come in to pick up a random tool and walking back across the shop to leave.
Glad you've got the tractor powered plow. My late father (1912-74) grew up on a tobacco and cotton farm and only had three 2 mule power plows. Took a long time to do 750 acres. Narragansett Bay
That old retail self with attached sliding ladder is sweet
This may be ur first time plowing a field but not ur wife. Congrats on baby boy #2!! Keep plowing and #3 could be here in 9 months! My step sister had 3 babies back to back to back, 1, 2, and 3 years old!
Roman deserves a hoodie!
Love watching from Texas!
Most folks back in the day didn't land plow corn stalks.....That was reserved for legume plowdown from old hay or pasture sod.This was done in the fall before spring seeding corn for nitrogen plowdown from the leafy hay ie clover or alfalfa.
Hey me ole mate. Awesome.
The Google maps photo still shows the mess of a yard.
Hey cole would love to see you guys at the farm machinery show Kentucky this year will you guys be there?
I'm looking forward to working on the house..
I had been plowing probably 5 years before my family sold their dairy farm in 1981 when I was 14. I remember one field in which the corn stalks kept plugging the plow. I remember the neighbors field that we rented for years. I was on our IH 826 Hydro Demonstrator when half way up a small hill i hit a spring or boil with the right rear tire and in the blink of an eye the tractor stopped so fast I was thrown towards the steering wheel and the right rear tire was spinning like mad and dug a hole until I hit the clutch. I was able to lift the 3pt and back out. Dad would get really mad whenever anyone got stuck as that would slow forward progress and nobody is ever supposed to make mistakes.
Take some "Extra" tools and tool box and put them in the grain control building.
Roman needs a complete Cornstar ensemble! Hoodie, shirt, hat, beanie - the works. Did you see the way he jumped onto that tire? He videos, he video bombs, he does his own stunts. He’s UA-cam gold!
Yay, so excited for house videos!!!
Your gonna need one of those super duper floor clears that Dougo cruises on.
Maybe you should buy a full service truck with tool bed and fuel tanks ! Sell the tractor with DEF and get older one a rebuild it !
Wow!! That soil!
I too, I'm on the give Roman a cornstar hoodie plan. Have loved all your videos. Thanks for taking the time to entertain us and educate us
Wait a minute, is this a second video in less than 24 hours ?!?!
NICE 👍
Yeah that Way I can make more trouble
To help with the tractor spinning out plowing with a semi mount plow you need to set the draft control lighter its the knob down by your right foot, it will bump the plow up a pinch when the plow starts pulling down harder on the 2 point arms. Your coulters were set to shallow they should be running 2-3'' above the plowing depth.
Organizing your tools on a tool truck would not only help you stay organized but imagine how much of the farm operating expense could have been saved or invested elsewhere if you would have know what you have and how many? We always had the tool body that went around on our farm and one main shop with a set there. Buying tools we already had was a no no. I was using wrenches that my grandfather’s father bought. Still works and saves money.
Such a large heated garage deserves alot more bench space than described. Especially since a bigger bench means you can store more items you already own. Finally it may help to have more than 1 outlet at the bench for convenience! But those are just my thoughts.
This was amazing! Wow! So satisfying. Been watching you since day 1! You rock!🙏
Merry merry Cole--take a little time to enjoy your family. and happy new year.
Growing up in SE MN on a dairy farm, that’s the only way we tilled the fields. I used a 4 bottom plow pulled with a 756 international until we got the 1456 turbo with a 5 bottom. Put some duals on that tractor and you will have a lot more pulling power and traction.
He's got it right duels on the one side single in the furrow. If it was an on land plow duel up both sides
@michaelmullen8153 didn't see the left dual the 1st time
Way to go Roman .
Hey Cornstars. When are you going to show that dump truck some love? Fix the lights, heat, new sides and maybe give it a "warsh" and wax! 😉
Pallet racking along you can make small and wide shelves can build benches in it have sliding storage units in a section could mount air compressor on a shelf in the corner no building a shelf and cutting hole in the wall tin
cole i used to farm with my grandfather back in the late 60's and early 70's . We never took the coulters off because they cut the earth infront of the breakers . but when we had corn stocks to plow we used to bush hog the field it would cut up the stocks small enough that the coulters would not .. we also used to bale the stocks into bales the feed cattle. maybe your brother could sell some of those
I've had the house to myself for today and for tomorrow, so I've been organizing and putting stuff away as well. was too busy/tired/sick during the school semester, so now that I have some time where I wont be bothered, stuffs starting to shape up. cant wait to have my benchtops free, and everything back to its rightful place.
