Thank you very much! I took this one as he was making his way back to the top side of the field, right before I got the longer video. Thank you for watching!
@@robwar2288 no sir it is not. If you want to criticize videos of plowing and working ground then don't watch my videos and if that makes you upset then you can unsubscribe from my channel, because every comment from you has been some sort of criticism. Your choice! Not every part of the country does things the same way, not all ground is considered the same.
@@jeffpaggett7274 the operator told me that he was able to run 5 mph at 4.5" deep. You could probably run 7 if you shallowed up a little. But this was the primary tillage pass on some corn ground, so some depth was needed.
I have no idea what I’m looking at but I know you must make bank to afford such machines. Like the upgrade of leather seats 😂 keep being awesome my friend!
@@AbilityToBeAwesome thank you! All the farm equipment I post videos of belong to various friends of mine. I'm just blessed to be able to go out and video and also get a chance to run some of it! I grew up working on farms, and going on harvest, so I have made many friends that are farmers and ranchers, as well as custom harvester's!
A very expensive unit working drought stricken ground in the state of Oklahoma wasting dirt time and money apparently nobody believes in no till farming. Just saying
Thanks for your video. Ive seen the biggest model of the Cat Challenger series, ( is it the 875-? ) pulling 80 foot span cultivators. Its good to match the implement width and pull resistance with the HP of the tractor so that HP is not wasted pulling a smaller implement.
@@John-nc4bl yes I believe it is a 875, I think the wheel version is a 975. Yes I agree, match them up as much as you can, and get the most out of the horsepower you have.
@@Paul-rd5pw it handles it real well. The 70 foot implement can definitely put a load on it, but it handles it well. I would not want to pull this field cultivator with any less of a tractor than this one or a 9620RX. I know one farmer that was pulling one of these 70 footers with a 9570RX, but I'm sure it was a struggle at times, but it all depends on the soil type and how deep you go. We was running 2.5" deep to grab the weeds good, but when we raised up to 2 inches it made a pretty significant difference in the load. A half an inch can make a world of difference! Like I say though we was in some tight ground and it had brand new sweeps on it and 140 sweeps in the ground over 70 feet, you are moving a lot of dirt! This 9RX640 is quite the tractor and is a great match for this field cultivator!
😵😵 back in the late 70s early 80s A farmer I worked for had 16-18 foot equipment and even a 22 foot field cultivater , I can't imagine pulling something like this.
@@jeffharper7579 it's incredible! This was the pinnacle experience for me for sure. I'm just amazed at how far equipment has came in the last 30-40 years, just amazing really!
@@doughutchison6382 yes sir, we were covering 50 acres an hour for the most part. Our speed dropped a little bit in some tighter ground so we were running 5-6.5 in the tighter ground and once we got past the tighter ground our speed would come back up closer to the set 7.2.
@@doughutchison6382 we was on a roundtrip route that took us a couple of miles up river and back and it was about an hour and 10 minutes. They range anywhere from 30 minutes one way to 3 or 4 hours depending on how long you want to stay on the boat and which landing you embark and debark from. You can literally ride all day if you want. It's the same price regardless
