@Peter Mavus my grandpa had JD drills from the 70’s. The only difference in his and the one in the vid was that the deck you climbed on to load the hoppers was wood, and the seed tubes were metal. My great grandpa had one that belonged to his father as a “lawn decoration” it was mostly made of wood, and was pulled by a horse, but same basic mechanical principal.
Josh, I've been watching You for about 6 months and think You are starting to really come into your groove. Thanks for the information! As for your singing... Don't quit your day job... I'm kidding I'm kidding! Thanks again.
Hi! Josh while surfing u tube I founded ur. Video an just wanted to let know how much I enjoyed ur videos. I currently live on my parents farm but grew up in the city so I really have a learning curve it great to hear about other's who persist at farming am making a dream a reality. Take care buddy
Been watching you videos for a few week and really like them. As some helpful aid in hooking up drawbar equipment there is typically a pin in the tractor front of drawbar (right in front of rear axial) that you can push up to release the bar so you can move in/out. Older tractors had multiple locations depending on what one was doing. Likewise there are two bolts or pins on either side that lets it swing. This can be handy on heavy hitch equipment. We always had to move the draw bar to connect our old disc first of spring. Be careful that pinot pin hole likes to get fingers.
You have a very good point about need to be strong to be able to do so much of this farm work. I am a female farmer and also new to farming and I really struggle to physically do so many of the aspects of farming. I know what to do from a technical or logistical perspective but then I can't physically do it. It would behoove a company to start developing tools and equipment that is female-friendly...in other words, a little easier to handle for those with smaller body frames or just not as physically strong as a larger person.
Loved it. I do not own a farm but am interested in 'no til'. I live in the dry tropics of North Queensland, AUSTRALIA. Not sure what grass we would use but the principle is the same.
Well right on brotha....I'd say 1 out of 1000 have used one of these and seen one...most folks have just heard of the "new miracle" of no till farming that's gonna "save the world"
Amen about being “farm strong”. I’ve always been terrible lifting weights in the gym, but I could lift just about anything out on the farm. Just an observation from one “Belly” to another :-)
Here's a trick to getting the pins aligned, tilt your bucket cutting edge down, and when you are close to having the pins right, pick up the front of the tractor slightly, then put the tractor in neutral, you can use the tilt cylinders to fine tune the alignment and drop the pin in.
You seems like a nice guy so I subscribe even though I live in nyc and we don’t have farms here in the city, but it’s good knowledge watching your channel on different grass and planting and machinery, awesome great job
Thanks for subscribing....yep I understand that I am completely out of your genre up there in NYC....but there's still lots of knowledge we can all gain from each other....stuff that ol brain bucket full of goodies!! Every vlog may not be your "type of hype" but it's sometimes fun to get away from the hustle of the city...even if it's just a computer screen....FYI...we'll have a cabin VBRO rental sometime in the next 2 years where you can come get away from it all....and you can get ur ZO6 to the parking area lol
Great video Josh! I always enjoy watching your videos. As a farm and country enthusiast, I love seeing other people’s methods and approach towards life on the farm. Keep up the good work!
Nice video I really like it. It's always good to come here because there is a lot of different content on this channel. Btw always take your time when connecting equipment to a tractor. I'm not that old but I got told too take my time and nothing bad happened so far. 😂 moral of the story always take your time while connecting equipment. Greetings from Germany🇩🇪
If you set your little crank with the crank, does it make you the crankee/cranky? Lol. Thanks Josh and Mrs. Stoney Ridge for these videos. I watch at least 1-2 a day and they're a good, informative, knowledge-building way to end my day. :)
That pin yoke is bent out. A big pipe wrench or adjustable wrench will get it lined back up quick & easy. Maybe weld some small gussets on the sides to keep them from bending out again after you get it lined back up.👍
interesting that you used rye as your companion crop rather than oats. I often reference your video as a training tool for people that want to use the Districts Haybuster 107C Also have a jack stand welded on the drill and it will make lining up much easier.
Top link -- and I can see annual rye, but why the rye grain? Just wondering because I tried a bit of rye grain in one of our horse pastures and they loved it -- but I'm not sure if it is a good forage for horses.
Rye grain on the steeper slopes and areas that are prone to washing...it will take root quicker and seed out nicely for dove season in september.....mostly for it's "quick germination" to hold down soil on hilly and steep areas....will go into more detail once the grasses start coming up...I have 1/2 inch sprouts now...it's been 8 days
Great info on planting that seed, starting to shape up and I’m almost as happy as you with the progress you’ve made in this short of time. I’m sure this is no surprise to you but if you put your grass seed in a freezer for 24 hours before planting the germination time will be cut in half. Probably not a tip for someone putting down as much seed as you’re planting. God bless.
BE Sure to pour liquid sevin around each squash hill to keep borer bug from cuting new pant dow at ground ,my granmother tauaght me this many yrs ago ,it works great and go light on amnio nitrate around corn in dry weather it will burn them up an watermelons too.
The reason your taxes are 30% is because we give money to people to do nothing. I'm in the same boat as you are. As for as the haters on your page goes like this. Haters hate cause that's how miserable their own lifes are. Successful people dont have to hate cause they're hard working American winners in life. Josh you sir are a WINNER!!!
In case you didn't do it (at least on camera)you should always check and make sure your seed tubes are open all the way to the ground. Especially if the drill has sat for an extended amount of time. Trash chaff, spider webs, and "critters" such as your deceased passenger can make homes in them. Haybuster makes one heck of a drill and yours seems to have all the bells and whistles. I have a Great Plains I really like and they are good drills too. Oh and one more little tip..... DON'T BACK UP with it in the ground. With good moisture you will be seeing green very shortly.
Thanks for the video homeboy very cool machine bro ... u should do a un edited vlog or add in the bloopers like u use too at the end always kept me laughing
I have a farm and the grass and weeds are taking over. I have a tractor but no attachments to plant harvest anything. I don't even know where to start. Do you know of a good first easy crop to start?
how many horsepower you pulling with? I have access to that seed drill but i think my 30hp kubota would be a bit overwhelmed by the weight of that drill.
Great vid. Hooking up drill and draw bar was painful to watch. 😂🤣😂🤣 my grandfather would have brutalized you for that on our farm!!😂🤣😂 keep on truckin.
we live, learn, work and grow as people every day on the farm....we get better at things as time goes on...grandpa could take a learning experience and turn it into a stressful experience that's not teaching us a thing....we live, learn and grow every day here my friend! Take care Scott! Hope ya enjoy the content buddy! Here's one for ya...take grandpa and put a keyboard in front of him....then yell at him for not doing it efficiently lol....see...we all can learn from oneanother right! Wooooo!!
I planted Berseem clover last fall (likely one of the higher nitrogen producers). I'll cut it and let it reseed. The nitrogen is free...well, almost...you do have to purchase the clover seed. I used a PTO spreader for my 5 acres then set the seed with a chain harrow. My clover is now 16-18 inches high. No livestock for me...just wanted good soil to eventually seed Bermuda into.
Lol.......my wife sassed you for cutting the bags......i make her open the strings on feedbags cause we reuse them to buy our feed bags to buy our bulk feed.......she said i fuss on $8 a bag feed bags josh is cutting $80 bags! Lol
That little bit of belly is a southern belly. You need it to have your strength. Yes! It takes alot of strength to farm, it's not for the weak minded either. Ty for your detailed video on the equipment.
Just a note, if you are next to, or close to another field that has non endophyte fescue your endo free will cross pollinate and you will no longer have endophyte free fescue just a heads up next time don't waste your money cause next year it will be fescue that is full of the endophyte fungus just an fyi beautiful place you have though.
Many jobs....and when this video was made I was still working as an Registered Nurse in our local Intensive Care unit.....That's what puts food on the table my brotha....building a farm costs tons of money...again we're building a legacy to pass on ....a 100 year plan...not a 5 year plan my brotha
Are the rear secondary hydraulic lines keyed (male/female or otherwise) to keep them from going in the wrong way or does it matter? Thanks and keep up the great farming vids.
Thank you Josh again! You should record with your songs. You have a great voice! Make a CD with all your songs then sell it...maybe a Country Album. Thank you again...I want you have a great weekend with your family!
My father in law uses one similar. My question is how many years can you no till before the ground is to compacted to allow thr crops root system to grow sufficiently? I asked him he said he wasnt sure, he disced before planting....... corn grew better that year i forget the bushels to acre but it was alot better.
Also.when the termante the crops and leave residue. The worms will keep the soil tilled for you. Another thing you can do to fix compaction is plant a large radish(not sure the name but it grows really large) will really open up that compaction for you.
Sorry tube channel I Am Organic Gardening and also search for a farmer named Gabe Brown these to gentleman especially the I am organic Gardening channel does an outstanding job of explaining the importance of always keeping a living root in the ground to not only keep the ground open for new roots to grow but also to promote and keep fungi in your soil.
Raymond Aten good ideas but planting 200+ acres of radish would be very expensive and idk how aware people are about dairy prices, milk is at an all time low. Most farmers today barely get by

Awesome video! Salad Bar Beef is an excellent book! I will be drilling some k32 in the fall on 20 acres. How much is rent on a drill like that?
$15 per acre drilled
Stoney Ridge Farmer Josh I have 65 acres just east of you near Hillsborough . Where did you rent the drill?
I think driving a tractor is good therapy
Me too!!! Gonna do it for a few hours today!
Honestly, the first time I've seen a seed drill in action. Thanks for the quick lessons.
Amazes me who designs these machines! Technology gotta luv it you modern farmers got it made LOL

You could go to a dollar store and buy a few of those pool noodles. Put a slice down the middle and place them around your hydraulic hoses
One of the best videos yet. I had no idea there were three hoppers. I learned a lot. Thanks.
Where you zip tied your hydraulic hose to is Called The Top Link
And a hydraulic top link is extremely useful and inexpensive.
This is one of the best videos you've had.
Thanks will
Farmers in Saskatchewan have been future farming for more than 30 years then... Your place looks great.
You will ENJOY the Rye Grain ( winter rye ) does a amazing job building soil...

I really like that no till drill especially for pasture because you can add grasses to a pasture and not tear up the existing gras
Yea...it really does the trick for sure
It's fascinating to see a farm being built from scratch.
Awesome video! You gave a thorough explanation of the whole job so even laymen could follow it. Great personality you got there too! 😆
I love the ingenuity that some of these implements show.
Very helpful I learned on American Homestead that if you want healthy cattle/animals learn how to be a great grass farmer.
You have a very good point about need to be strong to be able to do so much of this farm work. I am a female farmer and also new to farming and I really struggle to physically do so many of the aspects of farming.

dead rat in the hopper was a nice touch!
Lol....I thought I'd let him speak for himself....yuck.....that thing rode out the entire 50 acres that I seeded lol
I’m glad I’m on the Stoney ridge farm
Good to have ya!
Loved it. I do not own a farm but am interested in 'no til'. I live in the dry tropics of North Queensland, AUSTRALIA. Not sure what grass we would use but the principle is the same.
I feel like I’m in farming class 101 but it’s entertaining. I appreciate you explaining things even though I know most things.
Well right on brotha....I'd say 1 out of 1000 have used one of these and seen one...most folks have just heard of the "new miracle" of no till farming that's gonna "save the world"
Amen about being “farm strong”. I’ve always been terrible lifting weights in the gym, but I could lift just about anything out on the farm.
Just an observation from one “Belly” to another :-)

Good to see the Bronco being used. That seed drill is quite a machine. I bet that its not cheap.
Glad to see the bronco.
Always good to put a piece of tape around the clip so it can't get caught and pulled out
I love the fact you explain the clover nitrogen.
Loots of clover means lots of clover flowers that makes your bees happy makes lots of honey that makes you happy
Glad to see you are using the Bronco.
Using notill drill on tilled ground! Gotta love that notill farming! XD

Stoney Ridge Farmer wow that’s definitely something I would be interested in 👍👍👌
Great video Josh! I always enjoy watching your videos. As a farm and country enthusiast, I love seeing other people’s methods and approach towards life on the farm. Keep up the good work!
Outstanding video!!!! I leaned some things I didn’t know right there!!!!

In Australia we have the single tow on the implement and the double on the tractor
Looking good man... Good explanation of how the seeder works, and the various hoppers... Thanks so much for sharing... Enjoyed it man... Peace !
Technical term for that is the top link,... we also call it the third arm
That pin yoke is bent out. A big pipe wrench or adjustable wrench will get it lined back up quick & easy. Maybe weld some small gussets on the sides to keep them from bending out again after you get it lined back up.👍
Good eye, looks like a nice drill in general, but that is a poor connection.
Landon Tesar
Well, at 3:06 you can see the flex arm for it and it looks done pretty well, so it might just have been beat up a little when he got it.
Thank you for your videos
My pleasure!
interesting that you used rye as your companion crop rather than oats. I often reference your video as a training tool for people that want to use the Districts Haybuster 107C Also have a jack stand welded on the drill and it will make lining up much easier.
6:18….I was always told to leave things the way you found them on the farm. But you could have knocked the dead rat off of the hopper lid? Lol
Top link -- and I can see annual rye, but why the rye grain? Just wondering because I tried a bit of rye grain in one of our horse pastures and they loved it -- but I'm not sure if it is a good forage for horses.

Cool thanks for the tip
Putting the hitch pin in is the reason we have kids
Zip ties are a homesteader best friend.
Harshman Hills and duck tape lol
do your rear steps bolt on?. my haybuster doesn't have the steps to get up on the platform. looks like they would be a nice add on.
DID YA PUT ANY LIME DOWN, WE USED TO DO THAT BEFORE WE SEEDED NEW GROUND
It's a lift arm top link is in the center for ajustment
Great job on dealing the information 👍👆
You can rent these from county extensions. I never saw one in action. LMAO about 3 times. Thanks!
The reason your taxes are 30% is because we give money to people to do nothing. I'm in the same boat as you are. As for as the haters on your page goes like this. Haters hate cause that's how miserable their own lifes are. Successful people dont have to hate cause they're hard working American winners in life. Josh you sir are a WINNER!!!
Josh,what is the difference between Kentucky (32) & 31 that one lonely farmer plants?
Enjoyed that, great stuff!!
PS: Zip ties are the greatest invention ever. I've learned that very quickly since starting farming. :)
How do you prevent the fescue from coming down while you are dumping the wheat?
What would one do to get rid of thistle weed before planting seeds?
A short piece of wood to prop up the drawn on the seeder would help greetings from Ireland
yes it would
In case you didn't do it (at least on camera)you should always check and make sure your seed tubes are open all the way to the ground. Especially if the drill has sat for an extended amount of time.

Very good point
Have you ever heard the phrase"don't ask me how I know?" Believe me it can save you a lot of grief. Just trying to help........
Yep. Probably a good idea to blow them out before use for sure
Love that Bronco
Thanks for the video homeboy very cool machine bro ... u should do a un edited vlog or add in the bloopers like u use too at the end always kept me laughing
Thanks for the farm vlog
I have a farm and the grass and weeds are taking over. I have a tractor but no attachments to plant harvest anything. I don't even know where to start. Do you know of a good first easy crop to start?
Amazing machine. Lovin your videos. Do you ever allow visitors?
how many horsepower you pulling with? I have access to that seed drill but i think my 30hp kubota would be a bit overwhelmed by the weight of that drill.

Excellent Say hi to mrs Stoney
I planted 50 pounds per acre of fescue seed per acre. Do you think this is too much?
I planted Berseem clover last fall (likely one of the higher nitrogen producers). I'll cut it and let it reseed. The nitrogen is free...well, almost...you do have to purchase the clover seed. I used a PTO spreader for my 5 acres then set the seed with a chain harrow. My clover is now 16-18 inches high. No livestock for me...just wanted good soil to eventually seed Bermuda into.
You got a nice farm. Beautiful land but you’ve worked hard and that’s why it looks like that good job man I wish there were more people like u
Thanks Jacob!
Do you have to replant seed each year ?
Lol.......my wife sassed you for cutting the bags......i make her open the strings on feedbags cause we reuse them to buy our feed bags to buy our bulk feed.......she said i fuss on $8 a bag feed bags josh is cutting $80 bags! Lol
Are we just going to ignore the dead rat at 6:15?
Yep...just part of farming brotha
Haha was gonna ask the same thing
That little bit of belly is a southern belly. You need it to have your strength. Yes! It takes alot of strength to farm, it's not for the weak minded either. Ty for your detailed video on the equipment.
Hey Josh....add some MJ seed to that mix........Wooooooo #225 here
What does this drill cost new?
In the fall kill off the wheat then mow it with the discbine then bale it for bedding
Just a note, if you are next to, or close to another field that has non endophyte fescue your endo free will cross pollinate and you will no longer have endophyte free fescue just a heads up next time don't waste your money cause next year it will be fescue that is full of the endophyte fungus just an fyi beautiful place you have though.
Great video been hoping u would do a no till video!!
Will this work for cannabis seeds, about to be legal in Canada..
Lmao 😂 6:17 there’s a little critter crusted to the lid
Just out of curiosity what did you do for a living before you decide to become a farmer
Many jobs....and when this video was made I was still working as an Registered Nurse in our local Intensive Care unit.....That's what puts food on the table my brotha....building a farm costs tons of money...again we're building a legacy to pass on ....a 100 year plan...not a 5 year plan my brotha
Do you rent this sort of thing or buy it?
How'd you learn that?
Read, study, listen and experience my friend ..this is why I started a youtube channel
Are the rear secondary hydraulic lines keyed (male/female or otherwise) to keep them from going in the wrong way or does it matter? Thanks and keep up the great farming vids.
Great information!
It’s a top link.
10 mins to put a pin in .
You Fired !!!!.
Lol
Thank you Josh again! You should record with your songs. You have a great voice! Make a CD with all your songs then sell it...maybe a Country Album. Thank you again...I want you have a great weekend with your family!
Thanks James
My father in law uses one similar. My question is how many years can you no till before the ground is to compacted to allow thr crops root system to grow sufficiently?
I asked him he said he wasnt sure, he disced before planting....... corn grew better that year i forget the bushels to acre but it was alot better.
Also.when the termante the crops and leave residue. The worms will keep the soil tilled for you. Another thing you can do to fix compaction is plant a large radish(not sure the name but it grows really large) will really open up that compaction for you.

Raymond Aten good ideas but planting 200+ acres of radish would be very expensive and idk how aware people are about dairy prices, milk is at an all time low. Most farmers today barely get by
Raymond Aten ill look at that channel thanks
Still a lot to do good luck 😀😀😀
Deer like clovers 😁
There’s nothing wrong with clover. I️t makes great feed and will really grow your calves when you have them. Keep it!
The a rope from the pin to the tractor to easily put it in and remove it
Tie
Like the mix.. I planted peas for nitrogen, poor man's way.
Did you buy that drill?
Rented from a local farm...$15 per acre drilled
Wooooooooooo!!!HeeeeeeeeeeHeeeeeeeee!!!ALright!!!!!🤗🤗
