Planting Oats

- Now that the fertilizing and disking are done, in this video we'll look at the rest of my oats planting process. This consists of spreading the oats seed, as well as underseeding with clover and timothy, and then harrowing to get the seed covered.
Pretty neat watching the way you do things. I could listen to those Olivers all day long.😁👍
Thank you! and I love to listen to my Olivers (all day long). Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Glad to be able to watch more of your operation Charlie, always informative and enjoyable. Back in the day when I helped seed oats we had a end gate seeder which worked much like yours, you just needed someone in the wagon shoveling oats. Thanks once again for bringing us along.
Yeah, there are a number of ways it can be done. It's just up to each farmer's preference and situation. Thanks for supporting my channel.
Great video Charlie, really enjoyed the ride on the Olivers
Looks like your friends tractor needs some throttle adjusting. It has the classic bungee cord lock 🤣 Good to see you got some stuff planted!
My friend tried to adjust the throttle before he brought it out and dropped it off, but it wouldn't adjust any more without some new parts. So, of course, I did the most red neck thing I could think of to fix it, which was using a bungee cord. Hope to get some corn planted in the coming week. We're supposed to have some nice weather.
Nice to see different methods. I like the versatility of your cone spreader. And the rubber bungy lever fix.
Yeah, the throttle wants to back off and i need full throttle to throw the seed properly, so I did the red neck fix with the bungee cord on the throttle lever. Worked fine.
Glad to see you got your oats in the ground. I got mine planted Saturday, and had grand plans to disc with Herman and plant with an 88. Then we kept getting these off and on shot of rain, and I chickened out. 4-225 on the disc and the American on the drill, cabs the whole way and I didn't even take the time to record it.
Yeah, it was a week ago today and tomorrow that I planted that oats. When I finished on Saturday, I was able to finish my disking for corn and soybeans. We got a lot of rain earlier this week, nice yesterday, lots of rain today and tomorrow - then nice for a week, so I hope to start planting corn this coming week.
Your tractor good to plant oats and thank you for sharing
Thanks for your kind words and for subscribing to my channel. Hope you continue to enjoy it.
Thanks for bringing us along
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Enjoyed watching Charlie, thanks for sharing! I like the c tooth harrow . Have one myself.
Thanks Cousin Scott! It's been a pretty good harrow. About 5 years ago, the same used equipment dealer where I bought it had another one just like it. I was gonna buy it (because these days they're hard to find in good condition) but it was already sold. Thanks, as always, for watching.
Well that was interesting seeing your method I have to mitt I have never seen that before but as long as the seed gets in the ground that’s what really counts and I’m sure we’re gonna have some great crop updates throughout This year I appreciate all your hard work
Thank you for your kind words. I will be sure to do update videos as corn and soybean planting begins, as well as crop updates throughout the year. Thanks for watching and commenting.
We have the exact same drag harrow. I’ve pulled it with something as small as a Farmall C all the way up to a JD 4020. If it’s set all the way into the ground it’ll make a good 4020 grunt. Makes a nice smooth seedbed for sure.
Yes, it does do a nice job. It's a good little harrow. Thanks for watching and commenting.
There was a man down here some years ago who would plant his soybeans exactly like what you just did here. I was never able to get my mind wrapped around how he controlled seed depth. Thanks for the video my friend I enjoyed the tractor rides🙂☕
Back in the early 70's there was a farmer in mississippi that planted his soybeans with an airplane and harrowed them in with a Big Bud tractor with a tandem hitch with 2 40 ft harrows
I've never found that seed depth for oats was as critical as it is for something like corn or soybeans. I've done it this way for probably 25 years and never had a problem. Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend.
Looks like you got the oats in just in time for the rain. I'm hoping maybe to plant some corn here next week after things dry out. Hope you have a great day thanks for sharing your operation with us.
Hi Eric.
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 good morning soybean farmer hope you have a blessed day. I am filling my truck up at the pumps as we talk $6.39 a gallon what happened to America
@@TheFarmingLife $4.60 for gas and $4.43 for diesel are my highest prices so far. Let's Go Brandon!!!
I am on my way out the door with hopes of getting another two acres of soybeans planted today. I hope all is well with you and your family Eric.🙂☕
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 yes things are going good little frustrating with the way markets are as far as Lumber. God has blessed us in many ways
Yep, it rained the very next day. I'm also hoping to get some corn in the ground next week. Looks like we're supposed to have a nice stretch of weather. Hope you get yours in. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Glad to see someone getting some seeds in the ground! The old Olivers sound good.
Yeah, Actually, the oats went in about 2 weeks later than my target date, which is April 15. But at least they're in now. Hope to be able to plant some corn next week. Thanks for the comment Pete.
I've seen those little spring tooth machines on farm sales but I've never seen one used so this is the first.
Well, glad I could demonstrate it. It's perfect for my size of operation..LIke I always say, the right size machine and tractor for the job, or another way to put it - "It doesn't take a sledge hammer to drive a roofing nail". Thanks for watching and commenting.
We have always drilled in our oats, but now that I'm on my own and don't have grandpa's drill I have to do what I can afford. Broadcast seeding is all I have.
I have 2 old Oliver Superior drills, but both have the same problem - the tubes that everything runs through have rusted away and they no longer sell them. These cone spreaders are a lot cheaper than a drill and I can do it quicker this way, too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@pagrainfarmer any drill I can afford has that problem, among other rust issues. My grandpa and I had our own machinery, but it was split. He had a drill and corn planter, I owned the corn picker, etc. Neither of us at the end could operate alone. Taking time for me to build up. Good luck to you this season. May the rains be in your favor!
@@BillTheTractorMan Same to you, my friend.
Thought you had a cultimulcher? We always ran ours after when we seeded that way, teeth just scratching the surface to work in the seed, packer wheels leveled up everything super nice and pushed the rocks down. If we used our drill, had a hitch on the rear and pulled a packer behind it.
I do have a cultimultcher - didn't think about that. Good idea - thank you!
Well done Mr Charlie!! I really enjoyed the rides and learning more about your operation my friend!! Nothing wrong with that harrow, looked at several myself!!! Now the broadcast seeder, is that a factory wheel thing in there, or is this something that you added? I apologize for my ignorance or if you have said before, but that was really cool! I love the tradition you are continuing with the mixing tub, that is awesome!! Thank you sir for bringing us along, look fwd to ALOT more as the season goes!! 😁👍
Yeah, I'm big on tradition, and when I can carry something on that my dad and/or grandfather did, I do it. It's my way of honoring them. And never apologize to me about asking questions. Remember this - I was a high school teacher in my off-the-farm job - so I heard lots. Questions are how we learn - and when I heard questions from my students, I knew they were paying attention, interested, and trying to learn. To me, the real shame, is when people have questions and do not ask. A missed opportunity for sure. Believe me, I still ask lots of questions when in the presence of someone who knows more than I do on something I'm dealing with. Better to ask than to learn the hard way - can save time, effort, and money. Anyway, that wheel thing inside the seeder is a factory piece. I suppose it was designed to keep fertilizer/seed/etc., from bridging, but I like it with clover/timothy seed because it keeps the 2 mixed. I appreciate you supporting my channel the way you do and always commenting. Means a lot, my friend.
@@pagrainfarmer Well sir, when I am honored to be able to tag along with such knowledgeable farmers, I have to ask to learn more. For you to take time to type an answer means the world to me, and thank you for that!! I have to say the off the farm job you had, will surely be handy in teaching me 🤦🤦🤦 Thank you Mr Charlie, and yes I see where that wheel can keep the seed mixed very well!! Thank you again sir, and look fwd to many more chances to watch you farm!! Yes sir always my friend!!! 😁👍
Thanks for another video look forward to seeing the Oliver tractors at work. I have a question about the harrow when I was a kid the harrow that Dad had on the farm it didn't have the springs like yours. The harrow had metal teeth would that be an older version than the one that you currently have that you're aware of?
Thanks Michael
My harrow is referred to as a spring-tooth harrow, where I think the one you are referring to is called a "spike tooth" harrow. The spring tooth digs, lifts and loosens the soil, while a spike tooth breaks clods, combs and makes a smoother surface and seed bed. Some people say the spring tooth harrow breaks up the soil better due to the vibratory action of the teeth. I have heard of some machines that combine both types of teeth. I guess it's all in what you want, but in my life as a farmer, I've seen many more spring tooth than spike tooth harrows in our area.
