Seeing you grow your farm over these last years has been really cool to watch. I’m glad you’ve had all the success you’ve had! Hoping for a great year for you and every other farmer!
Hey, thanks. i appreciate the comment. It's been quite a ride, and im glad you've enjoyed following along. I have no idea what to expect, but we will all find out together lol
Looking great AJ! Glad to see things working out well for you; it's certainly apparent watching your videos and seeing the hard work & money you put into having things right. However, for guys our size, it's the only way I can see us surviving bc the equipment manufacturers have left us in the dust when the avg. price of any new piece of farm equipment is approaching 1/4 of million $ & tractors 1/2 million $ & combines 1 million $.
Yeah im pretty good at making money disappear lol but i think ive done ok at getting the best bang for the buck. Like you, im sure, id love to buy new and not have to deal with the mess and expense of fixing things up but id never make any money if all i was doing was making iron payments. I saw a picture of an old 55 combine next to an x9 and the caption said one helped pay for the farm and the other one needs the farm to pay for it
I was really curious how the new wider field cultivator would do on the 9200. The new shovels probably add to the pull too. Great watching this update!
@@iafarmer Caseih 4800 Vibra-shank, basically got it given to me by a friend who no longer needs it. It is like new, almost too nice for me. That has me looking at buying another tractor now lol. Better than the old 3pt Glencoe 18 footer
@iafarmer here in Central Ohio. You would have to double work every field if you pulled just a field cultivator. We have to pull a double basket with a knock down bar to get our soil to look as good as yours
The OCD is strong with you! lol! You have nice equipment and you take care of it. I can’t figure out how to save farms/a-b lines on Greenstar. I guess I’ll have to get a kid to show me:
Lol its a disease haha. It takes a few seconds, changing fields but i really like. Nice straight endrows, if you have a straight line to follow that is..
Really enjoyed watching this one. I love tillage work. So...if I understood you right, you have to take the tractor back in again? Something new, or something they didn't fix right?
Yeah unfortunately it has a leak where the axle bolts on. I told them i wanted it done this next week, and they told me there's no way they'd get it done. So im gonna try and limp it by and take it over this summer again.
Can you disengage your atu with that switch in the armrest of your 9200? We just got an atu, still trying to figure things out. Ours did not come with that switch.
Yes you can but if i remember correctly you have to push the wheel button on the screen again if you shut the switch off. I just turn the wheel to disengage. If yours fights you too much, you can adjust the amount of force to disengage in the atu setup on your display
Yeah, on this one where the axle bolts to the differential, there is no gasket. You're just supposed to put silicone, and im wondering if the mechanic forgot to put any on the side thats leaking. Hopefully i can limp it through spring as they dont have time to fix it right now

It pulled it, but after getting used to having more hp ive found the need for speed lol
All your equipment always looks nice. That soil looked great also. Good job!! Good luck this year!!
Thanks. Same to you!
That 42-footer looked good behind it. Definitely got a lot of iron there. Waiting for my new to 24ft field cultivator to show up, hoping tomorrow.
What did you end up getting?

@kolewiebensohn what kind of tractors do you have
Dam that dirt looks amazing. I think those 2 will make a great pair. I still can't get over how you make one pass and field is ready to plant.
It was working up really nice. You can really screw this ground up if you go when its too wet so drier conditions are best til we get stuff planted

Articulate look sharp in the field! Enjoyed watching!
Thanks scott, fun to get back out there with it
Great video
Thanks for watching
I got a 18 foot 1010 with the duckfeet shovels on it, they pull all the rocks up top nicely so a guy can pick em up🤣
Job security is what i was always told lol

Even with taking some off it still looks big. Id like to run it for a day.
If it wasnt so far you could take it home and try it out lol
Oh man. I kinda need my fences
Nice ground looks amazing
I hope it works up that nice when its go time

Did I hear the front end is leaking? Thought you just had it repaired. Just wondering. Thx

Knowing you I’m sure those weights won’t look like that for long 😁
I am my own biggest pain in the ass lol
Definitely covering some ground.
Its fun to run if you have some longer rows
how many acres do you farm?
About 1150 and some custom work
