    On the type of shovels we use here in Danmark (Kongskilde and others)we often put on 310 mm (1 foot) wingtips so we get full cut first time harrowing/chisel plowing,and its possible to buy special welding rods that make shoveltips very hard if welded around edges.Your own test shows that you can weld a rod made of tentor steel diagonally to your shovel and save money and time waiting for that company to get started.I use a 10 meter Kongskilde stub harrow with 40 chisels that are made of spring steel themselves,so No additional springs,and its pulled by a MF 9240 with 250 hp s,and never used the 4 wheel drive yet,allways with wing type!Thanks for vid.

    You are helping the manufacturer find his weak points and making improvements. When he hits the market, he will have a proven product, thanks to you. 2 shovels is not much of a saving to you now, but when you can use the final product, it seems like it will be a worthwhile upgrade. I hope it works out to your advantage.

  • @rogeryoung6245
    @rogeryoung6245 4 роки тому +3

    I am sure you know this. When comparing the two shovels, remember that time is money. Taking a few hours to change them out every several hundred acres will make a big difference. I would hazard a guess that the rib is a stiffener and adds to the ability of the shovel to maintain the correct angle. Whereas the current shovels are much thinner and probably, flex when they are plowing. That flex will increase wear and tear.
    I do enjoy any of your experiments and tests. Tractor, implements and parts are all important. I am hoping that the many of us that are not farmers but are engaged in other trades suchas electronics and engineering may get inspired by the things that make the farming what it is. Thanks for the video's!!!

    Another great video, we use cast iron tips/shears on our tillage equipment and I always found that it paid to use the more expensive wear points , but like you did in video , sometimes they break where the regular ones don't. The labor in changing is worth to us, stopping and changing worn out teeth is a pain, when your working against the weather.

    What ever helps with downtime vs cost is always what you have to look at. Not just the labor time, but the down time from the field. The shovel seemed to break at the stiffening strut so they might have a problem with heat treating. It is hard to balance flexibility with hardness. Interesting test.

    Very useful comparison in a realistic and practical test.
    However how have the heads of the bolts stood up to lasting longer? I have seen circumstances where longer lasting points / wear tips last very well but the bolt heads melt away real quick to the point where if the worn bolts are not replaced the long life point is lost when in work as the bolts simply wear away too fast.

    • @dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206

    using your current points you are adding iron to the blocks, do you think this added iron is making a difference to crop yields?. I like how the new points worked. You will save a significant amount of time not having to stop and flip or change your current points. hope the price point on the new points is economic

    • @dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206
      @dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206  3 роки тому

      I don’t really think there is any difference in performance. The real different is longevity. With that being said, uniform depth of tillage is important, and the fast wearing shovels wear at different rates based on where they are mounted. So it would, in theory, do a more uniform job over the season as well.

  • @usmcforever7630
    @usmcforever7630 4 роки тому

    Interesting test. On first impression it appears to be a win win situation. More durability and less labor. In regard to the break, the temper of the steel on the new shovels could be different and harder carbon steel. It may require a longer testing period to see if you have additional breaks. Of course you will have to consider cost factors also. I have no doubt you will make the right decision

  • @robertpautsch5093
    @robertpautsch5093 4 роки тому

    Any way to measure the load on the tongue of the tractor of those new chisels? Just looking at it, it might appear that there might more drag particularly in stickier soils. More drag would translate to higher fuel consumption. My comment is based on intuition only. Pricing might be a big factor in whether they are worth it. Do you carry spares in the tractor if any break in the field? Since you go through alot of metal stuff do you have a scrap bin for worn or broken steel? Not sure what scrap iron prices are by you but over time it might be a few bucks if you did not have to go out of your way.

    • @dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206
      @dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206  4 роки тому +1

      Yeah I was wondering about the drag as well. I can’t think of a good way to measure that though. Maybe work a field every other pass and then switch to the other kind of shovels and work the remaining passes and compare fuel consumption. We do carry spares. We have a scrap yard about ten miles away but the price is very low at the current time.

Might one guess for load might be the difference between the wheel speed and the GPS speed? The tech is probably out there but not worthy of the investment. Scrap is low here too. At least you have the option to put it aside somewhere to await higher prices.

    Great comparision. I talked to your dad last week when he brought out cattle feed. Ever thought of putting out a video of a disk chisel with a disk in the rear to "level" off ridges. We run a 714. With remlinger drag. Not impressed. Considering a sunflower-landoll with rear disk

      Hey thanks! We are actually considering a Landoll 2211 disk chisel disk. Is your 714 a deep ripper or a chisel plow?
