Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s. The John Deere I drove didn't have a heated cab, though; it used canvas to direct the heat from the engine towards the seat. Your video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the ride.
Nice job, buddy. I worked on the wheat fields for a summer in Western New South Wales, Australia. Long, long rows on an open tractor. 38°c. (100f) Very relaxing, but we had to watch out for sunburn! In those days, I used spring tined harrows.
Great video! Especially love the part about the tripping mechanisms and how they work for you. The perspective of the blade swaps was nice too! Really enjoyed it!
Small farmer here in Southern California living the dream. Right on the beach. Although I don’t use tools of this size I will say it’s motivating to see this. I’m just realistic for today I’ll be there one day though. Until then keep the good work coming 🤙🏿
This was oddly entertaining for someone who has never farmed. Didn't realize tractors could double as space ships in regards to the controls you guys have. Impressive.
Looks like the soil in the field you were working varied quite a bit from one end to the other. Also, if your earth engaging replacement edges don’t all come from the same manufacturer, when they get in short supply, you might be more apt to get poor quality parts. Interesting video. Take care.
I never saw a plough like that before. You are new to me. I subbed you because you appear to be interesting and your video work looks good. 480 acres is a big field to an Ontario boy, it's almost five farms here. Good video. Pax.
My grandfather use to plow his fields in February to kill off harmful insect larva from the previous year. This was back in the 1950s and 1960s. I found it a great practice.
Over here in Paraguay South America we put a mixture of clay and water in our tires because we have a lot of spikes from the Brushes in our fields. It instantly clogs holes and seals them off nicely.
I throughly enjoyed your video. 1st time watching you & I have subscribed. Your equipment , makes mine look like toys, but now at 73 I am retired, and don't have to depend on the income. So, I just farm, for the fun of it, but I have enjoyed you using your massive equipment. The best to you, and your operation.
Heya im from south africa also farm peanuts cool seeing ur machines definitely gonna sub to ur channel we use an old tractor drawn harvester have a good one
Great video. Very relaxing. How do you like the plow since you put the extensions on? Also could you maybe show how you do the turn rows when your all done with a field? No one around here plows except to rebuild terraces, I find plowing very interesting
That's not a modern plow, that's a piece of junk and would catch me dead running one. Look up Lemken roll over plows, now those are modern plows. Their biggest one is the Titan 18, 12 bottom plow. Lemken is not the only brand their is many more.
@@conleybanman lol every plow is a moldboard plow. You obviously know nothing about European plows, they have moldboards for every soil condition. Your plow is old made new not modern.
@@conleybanman a quick short video this is the plow I run, this video was last week. I currently got 420hp on it right now. ua-cam.com/users/shortsBrvbS7zUB9M?si=rXfL_2JMvHHTpaES
What kind of bottoms are those? Never saw square bottoms. I come from plowing upstate NY in small rocky fields with 3 bottoms on JD 60. No GPS or gizmos, just old farmin' and knowin' nature.
GEEEEZZZ man. Leave the tractor running while you go look for what? A little black plug. LOL. Didn't your daddy teach you things. Little black plug ain't filling a hole big as a corn stalk. You are young. Keep working on it.. Good luck growing you channel
Conley, thanks for your excellent videos. That loose ground looks like easy plowing and I thinking if you added 3 or 4 more bottoms you could turn over more ground in a shorter time.
@@danielclark8036 It would be better to have it balanced with an equal number of bottoms on either side of its hinge point, otherwise an unequal number will increase wear in the hinge area. Also, it could be turned into a pull type, ( trailed ) plow with more bottoms and outrigger, swivelling wheels.
Nice video, writing from Australia, may I ask what you call that machine as to me its not a mould board plough, We direct drill everything in our farming area, so dont have machines like yours here in South Australia.
Just wondering are you able to read weldom with a good Machinist I'm from Alaska so when we break things on the boat we have to weld things we can't run to the store when we're 150 miles from Shore
Have you noticed an increase in productivity by making that plow an 8 bottom now and how do you like it...? How many acres an hour can you now cover as opposed to before you made it an 8 bottom..?
It gave us an extra acre in productivity per hour. We like it as far as being able to cover more acres but it seemed like it did a cleaner job without it. Somehow it pulls behind the tractor at a slightly different angle and I guess it makes a difference
Great video. I am assuming GPS steering? And that is a very different looking plow shape than what I am used to. But broken points, flat tires…farming never changes.
best wishes to you in Texas hope all is well from a John Deere fan from Ireland quick question is the John Deere tractor rig fitted with Green Star GPS cheers Declan 👍
Hi Conley, it’s clearly that they make those blades from a softer metal, I would use one of them blades to make some real metal ones that are much harder to break. I’m not a farmer but I really want to become one
In 95-96 I was hunting on a piece of property one field was 1x2 miles. Back in the day the farmer hooked 2 6 to 8 bottom plows. The moboard pillows were not flippers. Driving the 2 miles in wasn’t to bad. But driving across those furrows was a rough drive.
In south Georgia we have stumps under ground and when you hit one you really knew it. We had a Allis Chalmers three bottom plow with 3/4 inches shearer bolts and when you hit a stump at 5 mph it was a wake up call 😂😂😂
I would have loved to apply for that position, but I'm too far away. That is literally the first time that I have seen a cracked windshield on a tractor. Wow.
I would be interested in part of a clip explaining the differences in rectangular shaped plow bottoms versus more conventional curved bottom set up on spring retractable. Pro/Cons of new shape versus extended curve shaped.
Man those stalks are hard on the tires, i see cord showing in that one tire, like you said previously it would have been flailed. I know in Europe they run a flail on the front of the tractor ahead of the plow
here in Brazil we don't plow because it's rain a lot in the rain season, we just clean the lands e plow one time to get the woods sticks, rocks, out, and than we direct seed for the next season
Doesn’t seem your going as deep as many years ago , probably before your days. Close to no till ? Nice video , good explanations of what your doing .😀👍🏾🇺🇸🚜
The number of armchair farmers making "I know better than you" comments here is humorous. Some people fail to consider the different crops, locations, and conditions require different techniques in order to farm efficiently and productively. So many people get on a "you must do it this way" bandwagon without fully understanding what they're talking about. Videos about moldboard plowing seem to get this crowd particularly stirred up. I guess they think that farming with chemicals is always better in every situation . . . Nice video here. It's neat seeing how different crops are grown compared to what we raise here on our farm in Kansas.
Come here to ny it was 71 degrees Friday 3/18/2022 and today, Sunday the 20th and it was 30 and snowing. Cam I ask if ypu are native to Texas? You seem to have an accent I'm not familiar with and I've got quite a bit of family throughout the entire state of Texas
@@conleybanman don't take this the wrong way but it sounded like an Amish or Dutch accent so I guess maybe German makes sense. I like the videos it's nice to see things done in different parts of the country, thanks.
I notice more farmers are moldboard plowing after years of just no-till planting. Can you tell me why? When I farmed in the 1970s we plowed everything.
Do you really think we try to make dust bowls when they destroy our crops. Yea because that’s how we make money is by purposely try to destroy our crop and income 🤦🏼♂️
All those people are out of their minds, and they are not actually looking for alternatives. They just want to cause a crisis in the sector so they have an excuse to nationalize it. Textbook leftist tactic. It's what happened to college, it's what happened to healthcare. By the way i heard that the fda was considering banning the use of manure... During a fertilizer shortage because you know, fossil fuel is used for more than just energy. But is this true? I know that they are doing certain things on purpose, but that would be literally insane.
I love sitting in the tractor day dreaming as I work. City people have no idea how relaxing it is.
Yes
I grew up on a farm in a small town and I would never return. More power to those who enjoy it.
I wish I had family land.
I agree. I remember when I farmed in central Texas from 1960 threw 1985. Night was peaceful on the tractor plowing
True
Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s.

Nice to see the long straight runs - way more efficient to do that way and with maintaining your equipment. Thanks for posting.
i dont think so
Nice heads up on what your day involves. Thank you. 🚜
Nice film. In Norway we use plows from kverneland, sold as kubota in the us. They have no problems with stone, easy to pull and do a fantastic job.

Thanks for the hard work you and all the other farmers put in so we can all eat. Thank you, thank you.
This industrial farming is destroying the planet.

Love your content brother keep it up 👊
Greetings,
You are truly outstanding in your field.
Vinny
i REALLY LIKED YOUR SHOW reminds me of years ago
WOW! We don't see fields like this often in Alabama. How do you stay awake? Love it!
Louisiana Delta we had someone Mile rows yep cultivating real slow was hard to stay awake while working long hours
I had no idea tractors could be so high-tech. The GPS guidance system on this modern ag tractor is a game-changer!
Well explained. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 ..
Big sky country,wow! Greetings from England
My grandfather use to plow his fields in February to kill off harmful insect larva from the previous year. This was back in the 1950s and 1960s. I found it a great practice.
I remember mile-long rows in the panhandle area of Texas...Are you using technology (GPS) to keep your tractor on the straight and narrow?
Over here in Paraguay South America we put a mixture of clay and water in our tires because we have a lot of spikes from the Brushes in our fields. It instantly clogs holes and seals them off nicely.

Nice work ! Do you plow most of your farm ground ?
Great video. Very relaxing. How do you like the plow since you put the extensions on? Also could you maybe show how you do the turn rows when your all done with a field? No one around here plows except to rebuild terraces, I find plowing very interesting
Well that’s the thing we don’t do the turn rows since we don’t plant corner to corner because it’s irrigated we can plow everything we need to
wow. had no idea modern plows look like that. thanks for posting.

Probably but after 9 bottoms you have to switch to a pull type plow
@@conleybanman Thanks for your reply.

It may look loose but it’s not,,,, and if you ever run one of those you’d know.

Great plough. You dont see swing ploughs overhere, mostly mounted reversable or semi mounted reversible. 👍
I like your truck
Just wondering are you able to read weldom with a good Machinist I'm from Alaska so when we break things on the boat we have to weld things we can't run to the store when we're 150 miles from Shore
Loving your videos!
Btw dude, how you water these huge fields?
Center pivot irrigation
LOL, I have the exact same air hose adaptor as shown at 10:35 . Even down to the red 1/4 inch coupler.
Current agricultural technology is very good 👍👍

Yup it sure is

I was born in the city but at 7yo I would wake up at 5am to watch a show called Modern Farmer. I’m 66yo and still wish I became one.
By todays standards that seems like a mighty small rig for that size field.
Hi Conley, it’s clearly that they make those blades from a softer metal, I would use one of them blades to make some real metal ones that are much harder to break. I’m not a farmer but I really want to become one
Do yall plow every year? That ground seems pretty sandy
WHAT ARE PLANNING TO PLANT. WHAT IS THE BRAND NAME OF THAT PLOW. WHAT WAS THE PREVIOUS CROP? WILL THAT PLOW BOTH DIRECTIONS OR ONLY LEFT SIDE?
linda area. apesar que não usamos arados na agricultura do Brasil. É um trabalho bonito.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 cool !!!
What is the plow model? That is a lot cooler than the old one we use
Would love to do this work
We had snow a week ago and field work has started here in Northern nv
In south Georgia we have stumps under ground and when you hit one you really knew it. We had a Allis Chalmers three bottom plow with 3/4 inches shearer bolts and when you hit a stump at 5 mph it was a wake up call 😂😂😂
So what your saying is you never fell asleep
I would have loved to apply for that position, but I'm too far away.

Haha I feel like it’s gonna fall out at any moment
Очень интересный у Вас плуг, без лемехов. И зачем песок пахать? Очень интересно.
wow what a great job you have
I would be interested in part of a clip explaining the differences in rectangular shaped plow bottoms versus more conventional curved bottom set up on spring retractable. Pro/Cons of new shape versus extended curve shaped.
Square bottoms are made to plow both ways, without the weight of a rollover plow.
two way blades,,,,he can switch to the other direction and flip plows to throw dirt the other way
@@bill45colt thanks I just hadn't seen one. Been off the farm since college.
Yeah, a great idea if full tillage is how you want to do cropping. I am sold on NoTil. The savings is where the $ is made.

👍 nice job. Hi from Russia
I have never seen plow shares like that. I assume the GPS is steering the tractor for you?
Oh yea gps is almost a must
Respect you work bro ..
How does that plow work in clay sod ground ?
Nice 👍
شكرا على الفيديو الجميل لايوجد جرارة مثل هذا في بلدي انا احلم انا يكون لدي مثله في بلدي ♥
480k people united to watch a tractor plow. Happy to be here
Nice thanks for sharing
why are NOT using regular 16" mold board 16" deep?
Great stuff.... What area of Texas is your farm???
South of Lubbock area
Does the tractor maintain you plow lines for you??
New to your channel, thanks for sharing your 👍 🚜 farming experience plowing the land, and thanks for sharing your thoughts and comments with us 🇺🇸,
Doesn’t seem your going as deep as many years ago , probably before your days. Close to no till ? Nice video , good explanations of what your doing .😀👍🏾🇺🇸🚜
Used too we went every bit of 18” deep but now only a foot seems like it doesn’t make a difference going that deep
Cold probably plant in that soil directly and it still wont make a difrence
Oh yea you can we’re just trying to minimize weeds and volunteer cotton
So last year part of your crop rotation you planted rocks. Rocks don’t put any additional nutrients in the land. Good luck
How did you eliminate weed totally?
POZDRAWIAM SERDECZNIE . POLSKA.
Yep I remember then one mile rows I love them
I remember the 1951 Ferguson tractor with a 2-12 bottom plow. I was 10 then and it took a long day to plow a 8 acre field.
Have a Good Season.
