You just keep delivering, I thank you for what you do. Approaching a farmer at work can be dangerous. They don't have time for much....I certainly wouldn't. I imagine farmers know who you are now. If you ever want to come farm with me in NW MN let me know. Starting from CRP that's been in for 25 years, has wetlands created and trees planted. But it's good land. 3 quarters is my biggest piece, 280 acre and some smaller pieces. I have swampland that could be drained and farmed. I just am hoping for a couple good years to help me buy better equipment. Got a small 4wd, a couple 2wd 200hp, an Allis and a Case. So smaller implements as well. 32' cultivator, smallish disk for crp rippping. Wanna really roll the dice. I'll cut you in.
Thank you for watching. The Premier function with chat had an error and I had to turn the future off.
BTP, You bin listenin' too much to St Greetin , methinks! The future's fine - just like your DonaldJohn says. I think you meant the Feature - just had to get that wee plug in!
You have the best job! Thank you for what you do!
Brilliant bit of machinery with great cost the driver will be the next thing to go when they all use robotics for more savings
If you don’t start off with a good stand at planting time you won’t make a decent crop😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks, BTP. It's cool how the drill has its own loading auger setup.
It is a handy way to refill. It takes about 12 minutes to unload the truck.
@@bigtractorpower, excellent. By golly when I was a youngin, the seed was loaded into the drills with a scoop shovel and a slide.
I think it would have been much faster and less problematical with the auger coming off the truck.
Nice video 👍 Not much no till being done around here.
I'd love to come up from TN to tour these farms. Our fields aren't nearly as big as theirs.
What can be said but "WOW!" What a price tag! But what a machine. When you were talking about the other tractors and equipment needed to get the wheat in, I could just imagine all of them running across the field. But I think what drove home your point about speed was at about 9:30 mark there was a lightning bolt beyond the cab of the tractor. If not for big machines, would that wheat get planted?
You have a sharp eye. I did not see the lightning until going back and watching for it after reading your comment. Thanks for the eagle eye. lol
Aye go to Jay Leno garage, he does a video on this awesome machine.
Just amazing, thanks for talking us through this one
This is like the setup I saw going north on Hwy 271, north of Paris, Tx. Except it was being drawn by a tracked Challenger. As I've said elsewhere, the agronomy of North Texas is similar to that of Western Kentucky. But with the addition of cotton, hay and peanuts. Most of the winter wheat, corn and milo ends up at local feed mills. Livestock is still the #1 ag product. But it's good to be able to see grain production, haying and cotton stripping all in the same area.
Thank you all so much ... from Ireland. Love the videos
Great video with great commentary btp. 👍👍
Many people not actually involved in farming are familiar with the Hessen fly and the damage they can cause. I left the farm 55 years ago and had not thought of it until you mentioned it here. I have heard you mention the importance of planting wheat during this period before but this is the first time I have heard you mention the fly, not saying you haven't but a lot of people on here are not in or ever have been in the farming business.
That tractor must be really powerful to pull all that equipment WOW😎
Lots of weight there to pull. It does a good job.
I live just outside of saskatoon! ~ you should come here and do some videos ...lots of guys are using 80' seedhawk to seed with
👍👍
Thank you for watching.
@bigtractorpower I saw a video of yours from maybe a year or two ago where I think the farmer had a 480 quadtrack painted in the Steiger green. Is that still an option? If so have you seen any? Thanks
That is a 480 Quadtrac. It is a custom paint job with custom Steiger decals. Case IH did produce a green 535 on triples in 2008 for an original investor in Steiger who has bought many many Steigers over the years. Case IH also built a green 580 for a customer in Canada in 2018. Case IH sticks to red only because it unifies the 4wds with the entire tractor line from 18 hp to 620 hp.
@@bigtractorpower thank you sir. I would love to see that 535 on triples!!!
Such a great video, thank you for sharing this and all your great videos.
BTP, ever heading out to Montana to Welkers? Great vid!
Good ole International dump truck with a DT466 it sounds like. We have one just like it. Good reliable trucks.
Great truck and engine.
If anything goes wrong with that setup,you better have I.H.C.on speed-dial...HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!.HAHA!!.
BTP you mentioned that it took only 12 minutes to empty the truck. Did the truck hold the 550 bushels needed to fill the seeder tank? If so that is a pretty fast reload and go.
Yes the truck had the seed. It filled two compartments and they put fertilizer in the 3rd compartment. That took about 8 minutes. I filmed the whole process but shortened it to clips so the video would not get too long.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks for the reply.
Thanks Jason ,another great video
Aye the Re-fill time and Palaver ....... Time & Motion studies - but when you have to sit for so long on a hilly humpy dumpy ( rough) field, it is good to get a break for P or Coffee and stretch the legs. Only if it is cold and stormy, I could think of a better job. Having to carry all but the kitchen sink on the machine must have taken a sea-change in attitude by users - steps , rails and conveyor etc.... but at the price - maybe to be expected. where does this leave the smaller Customer & Machine? Great posts to open the mind for thought and Reasoning
Very impressive machinery and thanks for showing. I see in the comments section about how farmers with huge machinery investments can make the payments. I am only guessing but likely some farmers have their farms all paid for, got good reserves of cash, and likely pay for some of this equipment all in cash. You can be sure that banks will not lend money unless they see a strong financial footing--thats for sure.
You should make a trip to Saskatchewan during seeding time. Lots of drills over 80' with air carts close to 1000 bu.
Awesome equipment and operating by one person and a second on the grain truck. The "choke point" appears to be the unloading of the truck to the field equipment. No change in over 50 years. Are there any advances in this area of more quickly getting the seed into the air drill? Thanks so much!! - Dean from Minnesota
NAYS TOTAL TEHNOLOGII
Thank you for watching.
That thing is massive!
Great video even if the equipment isn't Green. LOL. Keep up the great work.
With all the big tractors that I 💘, have you seen any autonomous tractors in your travels.
Very impressive when he taking all the factors it’s definitely worth the money
Big time setup.
What makes a Case Steiger tractor different from the other Case tractors?
That aircart was whining
Yes that is the air flowing the carts fans that move the seed into the ground.
@@bigtractorpower I figured but it just seemed to be alot louder than normal
I'm not a big fan of the IVECO motor. Guess you can expect this with CNH Italian origins.
so you have two Iveco Trakker in the profile pic but you don't like their engine? C'mon man...
How can you pay for all that expensive equipment when corn wheat soybeans prices are not sufficient? Has to be USDA subsidies seems to me.
Well at least in WKY where this drill is you get two crops from the same field in one year. Plant wheat in October and harvest it in June. Then plant soybeans right behind the combine cutting wheat. Harvest the second crop of soybeans in October. So for every acre of ground you get two acres of crops per year. Works out well.
✌️✌️
Great video. These farmers invest a huge amount of money and time to be sure we all get our food at a reasonable price.
Thank you for watching and for the positive comment.
What a machine, thanks for good work, as usual greetings from africa, and sir i i may ask does john deer have such equipments, i mean a tractor, the seeding and that seed carrier all together and working in the same manner as this case equipment?i will be happy to get the answer and even a video for such from john deer, as always thanks so much
Yes John Deere has a very similar set up. I will plan to make a video on it.
@@bigtractorpower thanks sir and be blessed, you really educate me
Strange to watch the guy go by and see his hands aren't even ion the wheel!
I would hate to see his repair bill if anything breaks down
Great video 😁👍
Reckon the 4786 would pull this rig?
Very very doubtful. Not enough hydraulic power and the big 3555 cart fully loaded would be a handful for the 23,000 lb 4786 where the Quadtrac is 56,000 lbs.
@@bigtractorpower LOL..... I bet it does take a ton of hyd flow to run the beast.
Nice setup 👍👍👍
Does this one big machine plant all of the 3 most common crops that you talk about ,corn ,wheat ,and soybeans ? is additional equipment needed . In watching you'r videos it seems that there several ways to arrive at the same results .
They would not plant corn with this setup!
Guarantee it costs less than $100k to build that whole airseeder (tool-bar and tank) but equipment markup is awful, manufacturers watch the grain markets and adjust their prices to get whats left in the farmers mattress
Just like any market, competition & demand control markup. There's easily enough manufacturers to kill any significant markups via any one of the other well known manufacturers undercutting the markups to make a market share grab.
People will only pay so much/have so much money, and aggressive markups WILL kill products regardless of the brand, reputation, and quality of the product. Entire companies have even become established players by undercutting the industry standard markup in some industries.
At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is that the equipment puts more money into the ground than it takes out of the bank account, and that's a requirement of any equipment industry, whether it's a Case planter or a Snap-on ratchet. I can promise you, human beings are too interested in taking advantage of big short term risks for an industry with so many players to collude to price fix - nevermind the fact that even a shred of evidence of this being true would land a LOOOOOT of people in white collar prison, but it also only takes 1; it takes just 1 manufacturer to just say "screw these guys" and reduce their mark up by, say, 50% on industry standard(these things aren't rocket science, there's no 'special sauce') implements to bring down the house of cards that is price fixing. At minimum, other manufacturers would immediately follow suit in reducing their mark up to try to beat 'the herd' and grab what extra sales they can get in that window, but it could even have a significant enough impact that the first manufacturer to break the price fixing agreement could even gain double digit percentage of market share from the much larger competitors, it could possibly change the landscape of a whole market.
Nevermind that full market companies like CaseIH & JD likely carry some 'loss leader' products that they don't even make a profit on; but, by offering this product, they're able to fully equip a farm should the farmer want to go that route and that's something that can be very valuable to a farm if the dealer supplying the farm is of high quality. And, the only way that you can offer 'loss leader' products is by making up for the lack of direct contribution to the bottom line by offering other products with higher margins to bring the average margin of all products out of the red and into the green.
No one ever wants to acknowledge that companies often offer products at a loss just to have a product in that segment at all - but they sure do like cherry picking the higher margin products. As I've described though, it's just not that simple, there's too many 'moving parts', individual products HAVE TO be designed with the rest of the product lineup in mind, this is how you maintain control of the financials.
Conspiracies are far easier to pull off in one's head than - human beings are NOT good at working towards a common goal, especially when a 'secret' is involved. The best laid plans are blown up all the time by 1 person choosing not to hold up their end.
@@RyTrapp0 None of the manufacturers want to upset the cart as they all benefit from it, i was in the market for a 2nd season combine and the sales rep came n announced he'd sell me a new unit and when asked if he'd hit his head he proclaimed that at that point to move inventory CNH were knocking $110,000 off the CX8080. The chem companies know "the margin" and so do the dealerships, that's why this fall in Canada because of the terrible harvest all the dealerships were offering huge deals on winter services n used trades as they knew "new sales" wouldn't be happening
