Great vided Carson, thank you for sharing the equipment tour with us. You sure to have a lot of stuff! Love the size of the barns for storage, they are huge. I hope all goes well with the family and the split and that you all have a great farming season! Stay safe, healthy and yes, the High Boy's are the best!
@@6thGenFarmer You're very welcome, love your channel! A great family too! I forgot to mention your 1720 Ford, that is so nice to have a piece your grandpa gave you. We had a Ford 2120 for many years and it was a fantastic tractor, never let us down. Thank you for your kind words, Carson!
Considering the amount of equipment and farms, I am thinking it took a fair bit to decide who kept what. I am sure it will all work out for the best. Thanks for the tour.
A new tractor is easily a $700-$800k proposition. I was lucky and built up a good fleet of 09-10 stage 3 emission 8R’s like you have. They sell for double what I paid for them now I’ve noticed. Every tractor has a job. When the fully autonomous 8RX’s with 410 horse and the “EVT” transmission hit the 5 year old used market, I’ll start updating. I do lease 2 9RX’s for custom planting we do. Just 300 hours and they go back to Deere. It’s an expense that gets baked in to the custom work enterprise. Totally separate from the farm. I don’t want to wear out my 8345rt’s. Plus, with a 9 series, I can get it all out of two 90’ 54 row DB’s planters. But our ground is all organic no till, it slows you down substantially, the 8345’s don’t get worked out that hard with the planters being so heavy. Not many guys your age walk and talk as right as you. I bet your dad is proud as can be of you.
Thanks so much for the tour!, gonna do a replica in farm sim now cause I really like Midwest styled farms. Myself is actually farming in Sweden where a 8rt is GIANT😂
Maybe you just got a bad 780, it can happen with any color. There are a LOT of them out there! Hope you have better luck with the 770. Have a safe spring season!
I had forgotten how much stuff y’all really have. Are you still planting rye as a cover and combining some for seed? Also what about the sweet corn or pea acres for the canning plant?
We are not planting any rye this spring. We are playing around with planting some cover crop into standing corn if we can find a good way to do it and if the year works out good. As far as the organic crops we are going to do about 100 acres ish of peas this year, no sweetcorn Thanks for watching and commenting. Comments are what help UA-cam push my videos!
During Covid I wanted a John Deere 3039r and found 2 being built that year and coming to the east coast, got mine in about 6 months and love it. I wish it would have had a cab but don’t need it.
I have yet to drive it but my dad has been really enjoying it. he has only owned it for a little over a week and he has picked rocks with it, graded our road, and moved logs around the property.... He even used it as a large dustpan for sweeping out the garage 😂
Great video. It was 39 min long but it didn't feel like it. I like it when you say finger weeders. Lol. The 4 row planter.. didn't you use it last year to finish up some small odd shaped areas of a field last year?
The rotary hoe is one solution to crusted soil over new seeding, however the hoe spikes can potentially damage the new seed. An alternative is the 360 Y Drops on your sprayer that will soften the soil immediately above the seed. Using water only, & onto the seed directly, & not the entire planting bed, one tank of water, generates significant coverage. Forgot if your corn & bean rows are on the same centers ❓
I hope the younger generation is being respectful to your dad and uncle. I’m sure its been a big adjustment for the two of them after all these years farming together.
@@6thGenFarmer i’m sorry but you’re respectful as you choose to be. Unfortunately that means when someone is ugly to you smile at them. My uncles went through this back in the 70s. Cattle and Crop.
nothing has been 100% decided yet, But I am fairly certain we are keeping the shop that I shoot most of my videos at and the grain setup that is attached.
Not sure what your plans are for the 770 but aftermarket concaves are a must in my opinion. We never really ran short of power when we ran the 12 row on it this past year but was able to do 4,000 bu/hr pretty easily in 250bu corn with non stalkmaster head and stock power.
@@6thGenFarmer we went with copperhead, only because Estes wanted $12k for theirs. Granted you get separating grates behind the concaves but didn’t feel it was worth $7,000 more dollars over the copperhead. Also our local Deere dealer Sloan Implement is a copperhead dealer so we bought them through our dealer
So we actually have another grain bin site a town over that has been in a couple of videos but very few. I think we are getting the one that was in this video and the other side of the family is getting the other site.
I really enjoyed the equipment tour, I'm here to learn more about the organic side of the Farm. We have about 50 acres of Beck's hybrid organic and it's just ready to come out of the ground. I have a rodeo hoe and a cultivator so we'll have some seat time in this year. Thanks again for all the information have a great day.
Its still undecided but we are hoping for the brent avalanche tracked cart. After seeing the compaction damage the soft tread kinze did last year we are going to try our hardest to get a tracked one if we can't buy our old one.
Is the 9570 rt equipped w/ IVT or E-23 transmission. I have wondered if the E-23, which is a very dependable transmission, if the E-23 will allow a slow enough speed for the tile plow in very deep & harsh soils. ?? Track width on 9570 rt ??
The worst thing to do is replace tracks with different sizes but not replace the rims or bogie wheels. Seen this and you could see on the track where the rim would be at on the track because it was very thin in the middle.
Haha, I think I just really have a passion for ag equipment and I love to work and run each and every machine. Whereas other family members constantly gets numbers wrong and mixed up.
We are not fan of articulating tractors as they don’t work well for side quest tanks. I know larsons do it but I don’t like all that weight on half of the tractor. But if we get away from pre emerge i can seee a 9r with CTIS
@6th Gen Farmer we started with a m2 gleaner we got a r65 gleaner combine last year and just love it get prefect smaples it's a class 6 pushing a 30 foot draper and can't keep it full my brother smoked a jd 780 combining wheat he could load 2 super b trailer to one super b for the jd in 100 plus bushel wheat the previous owner did some up grades on it to match a s97 gleaner combine
@@stevebernard3356 one of our biggest concerns of gleaners the and reason they’re not very popular around here is it’s very easy to bring a rock in a combine while harvesting soybeans…. And gleaners do not like rocks
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military & Local for all Brands of Farm Equipment & Accessories & Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
I guess the main reason is that we had always used a 55ft field cultivator when the 9530t was our only large tractor and we just never went bigger. But, with the 55 footer we can drive a bit faster and its a tad easier to judge when doing headlands.
All Stores Please lower the price of all Military and Local for all brands of Farm Equipment Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now Thats too much $$ The Whole World Now Pray
Tractor purchase philosophy is fine, but the used power units over the last two years have over inflated in cost. The Canadian purchase may have benefited from the discount rate on Canadian currency, ? & the seller was a research farm that may benefit from government equipment discounts & grants? . Different mindset than for-profit farmers .
The millennial farmer received a federal fully forgiven payroll retention loan from uncle joe for $26,000. Doubt mr millennial was in danger of losing his employment status, but I mention this because that type of benefits might assist in any student loans you may have acquired. ❓
Thx for sharing
Thank You for the tour. 😊
Yay, that was very interesting !
Like your inventory of equipment thanks for the video
Thanks,nice tour
Thank you very much
I saw the 770 in the background of one of the videos. Sweet combine!
Yeah it accidentally snuck in a few videos!
Awesome video Carson. Really enjoyed the equipment tour of your operation. May you guys have a safe and enjoyable spring planting season. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you!
Excellent video and hope the separation continues to go well and best of luck to both farming operations.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Really nice equipment !! Love your farms philosophy of “older “ tractors !!

thank you!

I have always wanted a 6th Gen Mod Map!
Thanks for the equipment tour Carson, i was wandering how your family split everything up. Did you just split the acreage evenly?
acres is a little bit complicated, but more or less "yes, kinda"
Maybe you just got a bad 780, it can happen with any color. There are a LOT of them out there! Hope you have better luck with the 770. Have a safe spring season!
Yeah idk. Over the years we had a 680 and 3x 780’s and they were all terrible
I had forgotten how much stuff y’all really have. Are you still planting rye as a cover and combining some for seed? Also what about the sweet corn or pea acres for the canning plant?

Great vidje!
Hope you gonna keep the big STS combine?
They're really wanted!
Sadly we will not keep the 9870, the S770 will be our only combine
Don’t let Zach Johnson hear you call the 780 a crappy combine you might hurt his feelings. That 770 is a beauty.
😂, thank you!

Yes it has been a lot of change and hard on everyone in the family. We are as respectful to everyone as we can be
@@6thGenFarmer i’m sorry but you’re respectful as you choose to be. Unfortunately that means when someone is ugly to you smile at them.
My uncles went through this back in the 70s. Cattle and Crop.
Sweet line up. You guys are awesome. What about the farm itself? Like storage for both machines and grain? Is it gonna be divided also?
nothing has been 100% decided yet, But I am fairly certain we are keeping the shop that I shoot most of my videos at and the grain setup that is attached.

what aftermarket concave did you run?

Granted you get separating grates behind the concaves but didn’t feel it was worth $7,000 more dollars over the copperhead. Also our local Deere dealer Sloan Implement is a copperhead dealer so we bought them through our dealer
So why do you go to a smaller track? Is the wider track better for weight distribution or so you don't run over more crop?
The smaller track allows us to go down row crops
Did the larson buy the 9530?
Nope, the other side of the family still uses it
What are you going to do with the bin sites in the split?
So we actually have another grain bin site a town over that has been in a couple of videos but very few. I think we are getting the one that was in this video and the other side of the family is getting the other site.

who got the excavtor and paveloder or do you still share it
I completely forgot about that stuff! Payloader we are sharing and my dad owns the excavator 50% with a friend of his
@@6thGenFarmer thanks
Quick question do you have a different combine for the organic crops?
nope, we just have to clean it out really well and take good pictures to prove it was done
What grain cart did you end up with?
Its still undecided but we are hoping for the brent avalanche tracked cart. After seeing the compaction damage the soft tread kinze did last year we are going to try our hardest to get a tracked one if we can't buy our old one.
It's hard to keep up with your equipment and I watch all of the videos.
Haha yeah for sure. I jump around a lot!
the next upgrade gotta be pwm sprayer nozzles on the highboy sprayers lol
Haha. I bet capstan would love to do a project like that but we don’t need to make those things any more complicated than they already are😂
Is the 9570 rt equipped w/ IVT or E-23 transmission. I have wondered if the E-23, which is a very dependable transmission, if the E-23 will allow a slow enough speed for the tile plow in very deep & harsh soils. ?? Track width on 9570 rt ??
The 9570rt actually has an e18 transmission. I do not believe that the IVT transmissions were equipped in 9R tractors but I could be wrong
@@6thGenFarmer Would like to say this was a test, but the truth is my Deere knowledge is limited, red blood, red tractors here. Can't all be green 👌
What’s the name of the intro soundtrack?
so now you use one combine not two right?
Correct
what about a grain cart
I completely forgot to talk about that! I believe we are keeping the Brent avalanche but no guarantees
The worst thing to do is replace tracks with different sizes but not replace the rims or bogie wheels. Seen this and you could see on the track where the rim would be at on the track because it was very thin in the middle.
For some dumb reason, if you take the pre cleaner out of the 780 it increases capacity and cleans up the sample
We did do that on one of the s780’s and it helped, but didn’t do as much as we had hoped
I don't know how you remember all those model numbers! 😂
Haha, I think I just really have a passion for ag equipment and I love to work and run each and every machine. Whereas other family members constantly gets numbers wrong and mixed up.
have you ever thought about buying a 9R 490 or a 9RX 540 tractors in the future??
We are not fan of articulating tractors as they don’t work well for side quest tanks. I know larsons do it but I don’t like all that weight on half of the tractor. But if we get away from pre emerge i can seee a 9r with CTIS
U should try a gleaner combine best grain combine u can get
I would really like to try one someday, the modern ones seem to have a pretty good reputation
