Shoutout to Ryan and Soil-Max for helping get this plow working and tile in the ground. We may be rained/frozen out for the season, but excited to use it for years to come... EDIT: After posting we found DRONE FOOTAGE that was corrupted when rendering out video, edits on UA-cam are being made and will take a few hours to process, but just a few parts in the video had to be cut out. FYI
That is awesome!! as somebody who wants to be a first generation farmer. It’s so exciting to see how far you guys have come from when you started. Absolutely love your videos.
Grant, I have used a soil max and they are a good plow. My free advice: buy as big of a plow that you can afford, there is always a deep cut somewhere. Keep trees and brush away from tiles, especially outlets- roots will soon plug them. Use a tile feeder in hot weather for sure, it will easily stretch. Tiling when it is dry is much easier. Always plan on tiling the entire field, even if you don’t think you ever will. Keep your ditches cleaned, tiling won’t overcome poor surface drainage. Good luck!
Thanks for advice Tom! Yeah goal is to get every piece of owned ground all tiled out. If we have to go over 5.5ft deep plan is to cut it out with excavator so we can still pull through it. 👍
@ You won’t regret any tiling, our main problems are tree roots along edges and field mice. We’ve had the best yields ever the last five years, tiling definitely a big part of that.
It’s rare to see first generation farms these days so it’s really cool to see you guys creating a working, well managed farm from scratch. Keep up the good work👍🏻
im a farmer from south africa and i watch your videos all the time, it really is entertaining, keep up al the hard work and congrats with everything you have accomplished sofar
righton!! congratz!!! that visit with BEN really motivated you eh?? it is pretty awesume beein able to just GO OUT AND DROP A RUN ALONG A WATERWAY whenever the problem is noticed instead of havin to budget for and schedule someone to come out to do... yea... ;) really cool! CONGRATZ!!
love that setup! 2 good ol deeres putting in some work! i think next summer you should bring those big horses to a tractor pull, just to see how they could perform lol. Love the vids and can't wait for spring planting to come around again to see what the new tractor can do!
Hi Grant / Spencer, what tire pressures are you running on the two 4wd,s ? They need to be as low as ever the tire manufacturers recomend for the axle loadings you have, seriously it makes a massive difference to traction and obviously you need every bit of traction you can muster on the tile plow
Sorry guys, I had,nt watched to the end of the vid when I made the tire pressure comment! I saw the tires were,nt flexing early in the vid and assumed correctly that they were too hard
Chain on tile plow is a manual depth gauge. That yellow tag on it marks 36 inches deep. So every once in awhile I can look back and manually check it. That way if I think RTK or settings are out of whack I can do a real quick verification by looking back at chain.
Why you did not put the SF6000 to the tractor? You can place non rtk receiver to your equipment. It is only communicating with the tractor, not the base station.
You can't have a Non-RTK receiver on the tile-plow. It has the be RTK. It needs to measure Vertical accuracy when surveying and installing pipe. I only have 2 RTK globes, and 1 SF globe so that's why I threw the SF globe on the tractor for autosteer.
@granthilbert5632 oh, okay. I thought it works the same way as a planter or any tillage equipment. Thank you for the vid and the correction. Greetings from Hungary.
Soil Max, Crary, or Range. Did you review other tile plow vendors. Curious how you zeroed in on Soil Max and three point versus a pull type plow. Just curious how you balanced price, options, reputations of brands and options you looked at. Were you able to negotiate a reduced price on the soil max hardware for the youtube exposure? Hope so.
Soilmax is more of an entry level tile plow compared to others. Much simpler to operate and the intelislope that is on it is pretty idiot proof compared to other grade control software. Meaning that intelislope wont allow you do to something you shouldn't, meanwhile sd drain or wm drain will basically allow you to do anything you want to.
Next time you pull a quick hitch off, and you do it with the three point raised all the way up? I’m going to drive from Texas to Iowa and kick both your asses! 😂 Here’s another pro tip. When you are probing for the pipe, instead of pulling it out and showing how deep it is? Put the probe on the side you are digging and that will allow you to dig down and against the pipe, not hit the pipe. When you’re just guessing, it leads to hits. Take it from someone who did anomaly digs on live gas lines for years. Never touched a line.
Hey, these kids are still figuring life out. Takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there like they are. That many people can do that. Or are willing to do that
If your boot can do 6” and under. Sometimes they started with 4” then increased to 6”. I personally thought Y connecters made the most sense. You run a 6” or larger from outlet. Then cut, mark, dig with track hoe. Find 6” end. Then room for 4” at one angle, second 4” to other side. Half the price iirc of strait, and 2nd at 45 degrees. Note take dang good records. Not just electric. But PEN on paper with LOTS of landmarks . We are doing more tile. The pencil maps from 90s. I am having trouble knowing which FARM. Much less what field. I was just out of hospital. Plus part done under direction Corp of Engineers. Rest by neighbor with first plow using laser in our area. I doubt if I found a computer the 4” floppy worked it would help. Just section, which way is North, then highway # how many feet from…. With phone it’s easy to measure. I had 4 Rock piles buried 20 years ago. Not useful landmarks. Trees gone,
4WD aren't as Versatile. Can't row-crop or pull sprayer. For running 2 tractors it's hard to beat a small MFWD, and a big MFWD for versatility. With that being said if I ever get a 3rd tractor way into future it'd probably be a 4WD or large track machine.
@@granthilbert5632 to an extent yes but 4wd can have row crop tires too and so much cheaper but i do much prefer two tracks over a 4wd. I would go cat challenger mt800 series they are beasts with that c18 cat
I have a fs25 mod idea . You can put drain tile on the feild and you get a yeild increase. Then when precision farming comes out you get more yeild and it is difrent for soil types

awesome job Grant
I remember when Grant would talk about getting a bigger tractor for a tile plow, and now its happening. Good job guys.
The timelapse with music was so cool
That is awesome!! as somebody who wants to be a first generation farmer. It’s so exciting to see how far you guys have come from when you started. Absolutely love your videos.
Thanks Noah!!
All the 3 tractors out and about

That's one of the slickest looking tile plows I've seen. Best of luck.
You got some REAL music in that time lapse bit
Brother buch is with you guys as well I’m glad I knew he would be. Spectacular Spencer and grateful Grant well done and Josie ❤.
He went from playing fs to farming irl, it crazy what you can do, love the vids grant
im a farmer from south africa and i watch your videos all the time, it really is entertaining, keep up al the hard work and congrats with everything you have accomplished sofar
Cool to see the dream coming true 👍
Awesome video grant awesome to see the 4020 working hard.
Very nice setup with the tractor
This so awesome that you don't have to pay someone to do the tile! I love the video keep up the great work!
Super great job!!!! I see a custom tiling crew in the future. The technology is amazing!!!!
I enjoy every video you downloaded keep on with the great content
You and Spencer work good together i lost my brother back in2015 miss the great times you are blessed to have each other
Great setup grant
I'll give it to that SoilMax rep for helping you boys get everything set up and battling in the rain. Solid dude.
Ryan is the man the myth and the legend when it comes to field tile.
Great work!
Your videos are some of the best out there why to go 👍
Love the video grant !! Keep them coming 👍
Great video enjoy watching keep up the amazing work
that is HYPE contrats dude lookms awesome
Really cool video! 👍👍
Sick video as always, watched all your videos over the last week. Some great stuff
Great video, a really fun watch.
Dude grant the new 8r has to be the best purchased you've made so far
Hell yeah, that was awesome! I love videos like this! Keep up the hard work 💪🏻
righton!! congratz!!! that visit with BEN really motivated you eh?? it is pretty awesume beein able to just GO OUT AND DROP A RUN ALONG A WATERWAY whenever the problem is noticed instead of havin to budget for and schedule someone to come out to do... yea... ;) really cool!
CONGRATZ!!

Nice job.
Great vid grant
That is some beautiful black dirt. I'm jealous you don't have to use sock on the tile lol
Dirt perfect made his tile plow pulls it with his dozer. Pretty awesome . he does a lot of custom work spring and fall I think

Love the vids grant
I remember the first video that came out on this channel, i even subscribed when the channel was in the first 600 subs
Nice video
Awesome
Love the vids man ! I’d love to come down and help y’all out one day !
Tip for the point of your plow, weld cross hatching all across the surface to prevent premature wear. You’ll get a lot more life out of each tip!
1:39 i didn’t know that cool
Do you run a tracer wire in the tile for locating it if utilities or telecommunications companies need to dig on your property?
You should go along the tree lines to cut off all the roots
Yup planning on doing that!
You should add tile to American farming
W song
Well done guys! Any plans to do custom tiling?
A few years ago. My dad and grandpa were laying tile and they found a massive snapping turtle in the trench.
Anyone else getting super laggy video around the 15 minute mark? Hopefully it's just slow upload on UA-cams end
It’s a glitch in the rendering of the video. Currently working on editing it out right now.
When can we see the new farm grant
Do u have to do anything with where the plow passed?
Since when do you have a hopper semi grain trailer?
Great video, when is the big update coming on American farming
Hey Grant. I love your videos. I am 11 years old and live on a farm. I have a channel named Farm Life with Avery
Gfs dad is the sales rep for soilmax
@13:15 - You shouldn't back the pin off half a turn on screw type shackles.
❤❤❤Good job very impressive Australia watching 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
now Grant you need search a good used Grain Carts and a good used Grain trucks
Hopefully can buy a graincart this winter or next summer!
Maybe it was mentioned but what's the chain for hanging on the right side of the plow? Great video guys!!!

Is this for irrigated farming?

We’re is your combine
Would this as a mod on FS25
I am 12 and love farming my dad owns all cattle but I want to be a farmer my question is why do you want the roots to farther in the ground
Drought tolerance and nutrient absorbance.
are you still building a shed in the near future-
Planning on it once I buy a farm that will work good for a building site/bin site.
Where is Your excavator at Spencer

Hey, there’s just speaking things out I mean like life lol! Takes a lot of courage to share like they do.

Hey Grant how did you get the rights to a Zach Brian song?
New UA-cam feature, paid $25 for the one song, unlimited usage. Can get any song pretty much. Price goes up based on channel size…
Should’ve got a 4wd

Curious why the tile isn't laid with filter cloth to help mitigate the amount of contamination within the pipe ... It's protecting your investment ...
Filter cloth is not used for most soil types as it can clog and inhibit water intake
Hi
Who else here loves when Grant posts??
Around 14min maybe arendering issue
Yup! Working on fixing rn.
Why are you cutting so much pipe off at the start?
Just the way we've done it in past so that way we don't accidentally pull too much pipe and then have to extend it. For sure can improve on that tho!!
🇺🇸🗽🚜🏃👌
Third
I have a fs25 mod idea . You can put drain tile on the feild and you get a yeild increase. Then when precision farming comes out you get more yeild and it is difrent for soil types
