Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

The equipment shuffle I love it every farm family I follow has this fun.
You know a farm is realllllllly wealthy when they don’t have to shuffle to move equipment… 🤣
@@aTrippyFarmer yes and you earned every penny believe me I know. I gamble for fun but farmers put everything on the line that’s why I pray for good weather and great crops for you all.
Look up soil Cement for pavement. Best if you can get a tanker of dry cement and a truckload of coarse sand, and VT tool. Mix together, level and sprinkle with water.- trowel level to taste.
Congratulations with the new planter. All your subscribers are just as anxious for planting to begin as you are. I can relate to your sadness at seeing the old one go though. I've had equipment that finally got to the point that it had to be replaced but it was hard to replace it. Kind of like an old friend. Hope planting goes great.
The old planter was still a great machine, but it was just time to upgrade. It’s funny how you can get an attachment to equipment… 🤣
That new planter looks like it will drastically speed up planting. Congrats on the new equipment. Look forward to all those planting drone shots. :)
It should speed us up as long as it doesn’t break down 🤣
Nice to see and hear you so excited for the coming Spring planting. Sounds like you've done your homework on break-even analysis of the new planter. Look forward to experiencing this unit in action. Best to you and the Team!
Planting season is right around the corner!
Keep an eye out on the bolts for the main frame wheels. We’ve had a couple sets break from weight. Mainly loaded going down the road. We switched to tracks and it has been way better.
I’ll try not to run it loaded down the road. I’ve heard that those main frame tires are a nightmare to change if they blow…
I use the front receiver hitch on my Kubota side by side for backing wagons. Works like a charm. Good video!!
That would be very slick!! I’d like to get a skid steer, but that is a little pricey.
Deere offers a Performance Upgrade for ultimate LED lights on a planter, check it out!
I thought maybe we had that option, but maybe we dont!
You should have a skid loader .Best thing for moving machinery 9:06 9:09
I agree. It would be so much easier!
What an amazing farming operation you have going on. Best wishes this planting season.
My family has invested a lot of time and money over the years to get where our farm is today. I can’t take much credit!
@@aTrippyFarmer You've been apart of the team for a while now. You're the future. Technologically you're leaps and bounds ahead of the elders
That tongue latch is in place to transmit force through the center of the planter frame rather than pulling everything through the diagonal draft tubes. The center frame on your 24 row does not have any draft force transmitted through it because it is not locked to the front of the planter. With Bauer frames capable of 54 row units and heavier frames compared to NT's, they needed to relieve stress on the draft tubes during planting.
That’s some awesome insight. I didn’t know that! Thank you.
@@aTrippyFarmer additionally, DB stands for Deere Bauer, not drawbar
@@thomasbritten7216 I know but it is a drawbar planter. Most people have 2-point hookups!
Nice planter. We also have a 2023 DB60 but with 24 row 30 inch spacing and with Exact Emerge. And ours only has 2 vacuums. Must be the extra 12 rows where you need the 3rd vacuum.
It must be. These DBs are new to me, and there aren’t many in our area. I’d love the exactemerge, but it just didn’t seem like it was worth the money!
I think going to 20" rows was a good choice. We run 20" beans and have been very happy with the results.
I’m glad to hear that. It isn’t that big of change from 15”, but it was a change nonetheless.
Thank you very much I realy enjoy your videos
Thanks for watching!
Beast Mode... ENGAGED.
Hopefully!!!
Wow that's one incredible piece of engineering and technology. 47 rows will contour to the ground really well! Congrats on the new planter and God bless on this coming planting season! 👍
It is one 36 rows, but I still agree. The Deere planters don’t have as much individual row travel as a Fendt or Horsch planter. I still think they do a good job, though.
38:55 "You can never build your barns big enough.": Concept change: Pull your barn over your implement rather than push your implement into your barn. Benefits: (1) Always have exactly the square footage you need for the storage. Each implement has its own barn with footprint equal to implement footprint. (2) Cheaper than a fixed permanent barn and more flexible. (3) Minimal (i.e. zero) surface preparation. (4) Much faster staging. (5) Lighter construction. Make your barn covering out of sail cloth. (6) More flexibility. Make barn components modular and hook them together as needed. Mix and match as you replace equipment. (7) Use protection barns only for storage. Pull into smaller permanent climate controlled maintenance barn when servicing equipment. (8) Expand by increasing footprint size with near zero footprint preparation. (9) Anchor as you would a house trailer.
Nice acquisition to the farm. I can’t wait to see how it plants!
Hopefully without any breakdowns 🤣
Hey there Andy, and crew, I hope this finds you all well and good.
Congratulations, Sweet planter, I can see why you're all giddy about the upcoming bean planting season!
With the extra rows, and the ability to plant faster, you should cut your planting time spent in the field by approximately 1/3 if you plant the same acreage, or increase your acreage by 1/3 if you want to spend the same amount of time in the field, the choice is yours.
Was tracks not an option with your row spacing and number of rows, or you're just not a track fan?
I hope y'all have a good one!
"Nothing Runs Like A Deere" 🦌 👍 🇺🇲
Tracks are definitely an option, though I’m not sure if they available from the factory. They probably are… I am not a huge fan of the tracks on a planter. It is just one more thing that can go wrong!
@@aTrippyFarmer
Deere does install tracks at the factory, and I'm sure they offer that as a 'field installed' package, you know as well as I do that "compaction" is the new boogy man, and tracks is the answer.
@@RealJohnWayne yes most dealerships will install about anything that you’d like. Compaction has always been an issue, but it’s really hard to quantify the return on investment. Grain cart tracks seem to be a good idea when you consider the weight. Planter tracks aren’t very high on my list, though I think there are much worse places to spend your money.
Andy! All I have to say is oil wells and telephone poles!! Don’t let that extra 20 foot get away from you. 😮
Most of the oil wells are gone now. Telephone poles will be a concern. Hopefully I get to start in a nice square 200 acre field to stretch my legs a bit… 😈
Really excited for your new planter. Can’t wait for the first day and for the tech help get ya going. 😎
I may have a tech on speed dial. Sometimes these new planters come with some gremlins… hopefully not!
Congratulations! Can’t wait to hear all the benefits. I’ve learned so much about the business end of farming from you. I’m sure you’ll go over increased productivity you see.
Thank you! Will do!
Pro tip, get a Ranchhand front bumper on your pickup with a receiver hitch. Then you can see where your going, pushing is so much easier
Good idea!
Wow!!!! I'm so happy for you, and thank you for the great discussion!!
My pleasure… thanks for watching!
Andy we just bought a new 1775NT 24row 30 inch 5e and found out John deere has a 64 cell single row plate for better singulation and the monitor will count more accurately with it. I made the dealer switch plates because they were not listed as an option when we ordered. The plates have been out since 2020
I am aware of those plates. Unfortunately, for our populations and speeds, I don’t think that plate will work for us. There are certain limits to what you can do with them.
Great video! Excited and excited for you!!. Going to be a great plant season.
YAHOOO!
I hope so!
That is one wide machine !!! I like your collection of Green & Yellow paint 😁👍🏻
We enjoy that color scheme if you can’t tell 🤣
Add another door in shed😁
That’s too easy!!
Congratulations on the new planter!!! I really enjoy your channel and the content that you provide!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
New planter looks nice. Cant wait to see it in action.
We are excited to get it out to the field!
I can't wait to run 60ft bean planters
It’s a big upgrade for us… 😎👍
Nice rig!! Personally I'd rather fix a chain every once in a while then deal with electrical connections or high amp motors, but I get it, consistency is key!
I can see where you are coming from… let’s just hope that this new planter is reliable!
Dude Andy that db60 is a stud, man that joker is huge, I look forward to following along for planting season, thanks for sharing 💪🇺🇲🤙✊👌
I am excited, too. Hopefully it is a reliable planter!
Maybe it's time to tear down the silos so you can pull both planter in that way. That is a very sharp planter, excited to see it work.
It’s hard to tear them down… they have corn in them! 🤣
Thank You
Welcome!
I’m 20” across the whole farm. I wish you were closer, if you did a trial of 20” corn, I could loan you a corn head. I can’t remember if your corn planter is exact emerge or not, they are a game changer though.
The 20” corn at the same population per acre you would plant 30” lowers your herbicide usage. Or in my case, the rows close off earlier to lower weed pressure for organic no till. 15” is too tight, I yield better with 20”.
20” is the wave of the future. 20” beans do significantly better than 15” also. You want to take advantage of the space to get more pods as the plant tillers, but not give it too much and it puts too much energy in to spreading out that it runs out of juice when it’s time to fill pods. I am 100% certain of it.
I’d really love to try 20” corn, but that requires a few different things. I have the planter now, so I could get some corn plates and run slow. It’s probably not too hard to find a corn head to run. I think 20” corn would be a great fit for a high-management system, which is a bit different than what you do!
To save time traveling to town and home for lunch maybe park a camping trailer on the farm so you can cook lunch and take a nap.
That would require me buying a camper! I could just go to my dad’s house… I seem to always be welcome there!
I'm gonna have to have proof that Marty and his brother are still alive! lol nice new planter!
Haha they just yell to communicate… nothing was wrong!
My dad yells at me all the time whenever I'm inside the tractor🤣🤣🤣🤣
The day could easily come when you will want to move away from that situation if it does not change. I have seen farming families drift off to the big city because of family feuds. I wish you good luck.
@@brianzybura8633 👍👍👍👍
It’s hard to translate 🤣
I’d blame the coffee too! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Andy the jumper hose plugs in to get the air out for the hydraulic down force system.
I read through the manual and figured all of that out. I think our other planter has the same deal, but we haven’t had to use it yet.!
Beautiful. I always loved new equipment. ESP JD Green!
It’s the best!
Brotherly bonding haha 😄
I’ve listened to a lot of that over the years🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations on the new DB60 enjoy
Thanks, will do!
Good Luck with your new purchase
Thank you!
Looking forward to planting season.
Me too!!!
I sensed that just a little😂
Wow enjoy the new toy
We will!
wow.....nice
Thanks ....very intertaining
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great. I can totally see why you'd want to go as wide as possible. Obviously that will really speed things up. The Euro guys are sort of stuck because they have to deal with the cramped road systems. Does anybody ever get the fertilizing option?
We don’t have deal with the same restrictions as the Europeans! I’d say about 40% of farmers use a fertilizer system on their planter. We personally don’t want to mess with it, but some people are confident that they are worth the money!
Lookin good Andy we upgraded our 1770 for 1775. We use our Db60 for beans as well
Great minds think alike!!!
Very informative video. I am impressed by your knowledge and the machines you have. How many acreage you have to plant with this planter ÉÉÉ
New year, same red sweatshirt!
He’s got a TV wardrobe… 🤣🤣🤣
Fields with tight entrances, we back the planter into the field. Which tractor is pulling the new bean planter ?
The 8R370. Most of our fields have wide enough entrances. I can always take it through the ditch!
Are the seed tanks on the new planter a higher capacity than the old planter? Since it has more rows I would think that it would. I think you may have to build a larger shed or maybe have a set of doors added to the back of the shed to where you could pull straight through to the other side and then drop the planter. What is the total folded length from the pental eye to the rear of the planter? If there is enough room at the rear of the shed it probably wouldn't take much gravel to make a road base. The biggest cost would be adding the rear door(s). A lot of fire departments here in the Denver, CO area have it so the fire engines drive into the fire house from the rear so the front of the engine is faceing out. That way they don't have to back the engines into the fire houses. I think I sound like the goverment suggesting how to better spend your money, sorry.
John Deere redesigned some of the parts on this newest model year of planters. They all have bigger tanks, regardless of planter size. As for storage space, the next logical thing for us to build would be a working shop. The only problem is that they are very expensive to build, and I’m not sure how quickly it would really return on the investment. I would say 50-60% of farming operations have decent shops to work out of. It is on our radar for the future, but we haven’t made any real decisions about it.
When you build one build it twice as big as what you think you need, and it will still be to small.😆
Bro you think your excited about the DB60, we are beside ourselves with excitement we had a TF farm party 🎉. It was a great family thingy. Can’t wait.
Awesome to hear that. Best wishes!!
Hi from the land of oz. just quick comment on front suspension. Had my first one in 02. My father said waist of money when ordered but changed his mind on first drive in rough field. Now won’t have tractor without suspension
I believe that. The ride is so smooth compared to a tractor without it!
I wouldn't have upgraded units for beans either. Beans are generally a metered disaster
Agreed. I’ve heard a lot of people say that the seed delivery fan can’t even keep up at 10MPH even if you have an exactemerge!
shes a beast mate big congrats i bet she hurt the wallet
It was a pretty expansive planter, but almost every piece of equipment costs a fortune anymore.
Nice
😎👍
For lights, Deere sells a LED Performance Upgrade. How fast will you pull this thing?
I believe these units are rated for 7.5-8. I’ll probably run 8-9mph depending on how it performs. Since it will be planting soybeans, I’m not as concerned about the unit performance as I am about the unit ride quality.
That’s a beast of a planter!! I have heard you can plant at 9 mph with the exactamerge planters. What speed will you be running it at? Sense you guys have pretty flat ground I assume you will be going pretty quick
This isn’t an exactemerge. The Exactemerge, which our corn planter is, are rated for 10 MPH, but they can easily perform at 12-13 mph. This new planter is technically rated for like 7-7.5MPH. I will run it 8-9MPH in soybeans.
@@aTrippyFarmer very cool! I wish you all the best of luck this spring seems like you have all of the best tools to have a good year
Have you thought about straight pipeing the 9620r
No, but that would be so awesome!
Howdy trippy
Hey there tugboat!
happy to see farmers upgrade but dang all the computer stuff not for me i would have my hair pulled out n 2.3 seconds dealing with that stuff i do not even like dealing with freaking hyd hoses hooking them up
I don’t disagree. There becomes a bit of a disconnect with the older generation when it comes to operating this newer stuff. I have to teach everyone and likely remind them along the way!
@@aTrippyFarmer what ido not like is all the breaks that happen with all the damned computer crap i rather have old planter without all that crap i can get off the tractor and dig around and find out it is planting or not i have seen way to many farmers fight that stuff far to much down time waiting for a tech to come out mean while i am still planting with my old dril or planter just fine
Hey Trippy hope everyone’s GrEAt 👍🏼 Have you seen Tony Fast Ag’s New SWEET MEGA SHED it’s MASSIVE love the videos
I have seen it. I’d love to build something similar one of these days!
3/4. Dang.
You were close… it’s hard to guage dimensions on video.
Never realised till today
You’re Australian Andy
Who would of thought 🤷♂️
Why do you say that? 🤣
@@aTrippyFarmer 😂😂
Thought that’s exactly how you would’ve answered that
Short answer 34mm isnt 15/16😂😂😂
Longer answer
Some of us notice EVERYTHING even when you don’t🤷♂️
So,to save another Marty shouting shower,which by the way could be excluded by posted a “Marty’s best moments” PART 1 starting with the neighbours corn theft and maybe the ripping cross paddocks in combines to beat Katy……..
Doesn’t he know that producing professional content isn’t a natural act and at times difficult.Completely ruining to audio ambients setting up a possible compilation competition with other farming father/son UA-camrs “experience”😂😂😂😂🇦🇺
So while a 19mm fits perfectly onto a 3/4 bolt,that’s where it starts and ends.
All other metric on imperial or vice Vera,only ends in pain!
I actually have spent the last 30 years wondering why Americans insist on been so stubborn and independent while the rest of the world has moved onto metric🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
It’s so frustrating and bewildering 😂😂😂😂
You lot should simply realise the rest of world is metric and therefore better,accept it and face the reality you were wrong 😂😂😂🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦🇬🇧 🇺🇸
I mean in the next war there’s a kiwi,an Aussie,a Canadian and a Brit in a trench with an American sitting on his own ,been ribbed.I’m just trying to save the pain cause I would rather be shot then on my own😂😂
So don’t burr your nuts Andy,you have been warned and there’s a Kiwi watching everything you do,jealous as hell you get to stand in that green shed.
Oh if you turn up at the yard and there’s someone standing in the door,rubbing his legs,drooling and making funny noise,just ignore him like he’s Marty.It’s just me😂
I know this is a dumb question so don’t beat me up everyone, but wouldn’t more narrow spacing produce higher yields? I’m thinking more plants per acre.
For the most part, soybeans are capable of capturing all of the sunlight in a given row regardless of row spacing and population, so long as both are in a reasonable range. Narrower rows reach canopy quicker, which gives them an advantage on a marginal acre where growth isn't as easy, and they also provide better weed control. Overall, the data is pretty clear that wider rows, like 30", do not seem to yield any less on good ground.
Nice looking outfit 👌. Best of luck this planting season. I hope we don't have to meet on the raod!?
Fingers crossed!
Rime for a Deuce Bigelow reference" That's a big B!tch! Good luck with the new purchase, how many acres per hour/day do you figure you will be able to pump out?
That’s a good one! It’s hard to really give an accurate average. I usually base it all on straight line efficiency. I am confident that it can do 500 acres in a day without too much effort!
Andy! As your equipment line is getting larger does that also mean that your acreage is also increasing?
Our acreage has increased some, but nothing significant. We are always playing the long game when investing in new equipment. There will be plenty of opportunities in the next 5-10 years to acquire farmland as some of the older generations retire. It helps to have a fleet of equipment that is primed for growth.
Sounds like a good plan, looking forward to seeing the sprayer hit the farm. I think that’s a great investment.
Nice planter Andy. Do you think you may need to up the hp to 400 plus to get the speed you want out of it? Or stepping back to 20 inch spacing allow you to keep the speed up?
The wider rows do reduce the power demand, but I think 370 HP will be plenty to pull it 8-9mph.
I'm surprised it has row markers. Thought those were things of the past.
In our area, I’d say that 95 of 100 planters have row markers on it!
15/16. Everyday
You knew it!
If you had to guess, how many acres did your planter have on it?
I could be completely wrong, but I’d guess 15,000 acres.
Were the markers standard issue ? With everything gps guided, I see no reason for them, or am I missing something.
We still run markers on our planters. It’s a nice thing to have if you need it, and I believe our dealership orders all planters with markers as standard equipment!
A quick question. Why have you still got marker arms on your planter if you are using gps steering?
We still do some hand steering around the outside of fields. It doesn’t really hurt to have them!
The only pain would be to the hip pocket. Lol
Where will you put the new sprayer?
I have no idea. We are pretty much out of space!!!
How cold is it? i would trade your weather for mine 7° above zero
Temperature is relative to what you’re used to! We were in the 20s in this video. I’d take our weather over yours!
I figured the reason to widen the spacing was to help the new sprayer operator have a little wiggle room😀😊
It’s definitely a possibility. A good sprayer operator can straddle 20” rows. I will probably just spray crossways or at an angle…
that looks like a big can of wroms
I sure hope not, but you never know!
How much did it cost no trade price?
$440,000 😳
You guys need to move to the farm! I’m sure there is an acre or two u can build a house on?
I would, but it costs so much money to build!
Why did you buy the markers? Just nosy
I was going to ask if they are going to remove the markers.
We like to have the markers. I will still use them some… most planters that come into our dealership have markers!
worms
