I remember the first time I saw a 16 row it seemed so big. Where I grew up the 6 and 12 row planters were the norm in the 70s to the 90s. Today 16 row corn planters are the most sold size of corn planter.
This is the best channel for fans of farm videos, or anyone interested in modern agriculture equipment. He is very knowledgeable and seems genuinely interested in this and the farmers obviously enjoy taking him along
The DB 90 and 120 are always very fun to watch. Lot more pieces to change out though on the 20" models when row cleaners and press wheels etc wear out. I like the way he has the 470 set up. Looks really good out there in the field like that.
The little 8 row model is so cute. Wish my grandparents didn’t reverse mortgage their rural house. I could’ve used one of these on it after inheritance hehe
54 row 20 inch spacing is close! I'm surprised to see him using the row markers with all the tech going on there! Man! Mind blowing! Lol We just got thru planting our corn with our 8 row planter on 30 inch spacing lol sweet video brother!
This would illuminate needing for five farmers helping you get a feel planted at the same time like that did you know 50-75 years ago ago… I have a wonderful black-and-white picture of my father-in-law and my grandfather in law and a brother of my father-in-law and two other men all come and down the field with their tractors and planters one behind the other just so much so that they don’t run into each other but spacing out the field rows perfectly and it was an impressive site and it’s one of my favorite farming pictures in terms of history. But this illuminates the need of five tractors and it is very appreciative John Deere to come out with us I must say. I’ve got to send this video to my son who has been farming he was A teenager and he’s 40 now. He just loves it and he will be amazed at the price of this piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing!!!!!
There's a guy around Charles City Iowa with 2 of the John 48 row 30inch planters which where modified to have even more rows making the planter several yards wider than factory.
My bosses farm corn every year because they have a dairy farm. They use a John Deere 8120 with tinted windows and a John Deere 1750 8 row planter that has liquid fertilizer tanks on it and small 1 bushel seed boxes.
Actually the DB planters are not made by John Deere in Moline Illinois. The frame was designed and still is built by Bauer Built manufacturing of Paten Iowa and they still build them to this day for deere. Deere supplies them with everything but the frame and they assemble the rest for Deere . Also Bauer built has designed a number of different things for mother Deere including the first prototype track design they used on the 9rx tractors. I thought I'd tell you this so you can correct yourself the next time you film a DB planter. I learned this from a guy that works at the HQ of John Deere. But you can do a simple google search to see I'm right. LOVE THE VIDEOS KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT!!
LSW tires are impressive. Where I live tracks and triple tires and the best option to get the power to the ground in the red clay soils here. LSW seems to work well farther north.
Great video Jason. Nice machines. But i wonder before planting corn did they cultivate the ground? Because it looks Like Only harvested and mulched. Thanks for answer by the way.
We had allis chalmers d17 and 185’s. 4 row ac planter jd 4 row cultivator. Had jd 55B combine which we upgraded to f2 gleaner. After mid 80’s it took off from there . All magnum 7140’s
With corn it really depends on soil types. Flat black ground there’s not much difference in 20’s and 30’s with corn. On lighter soil and hilly ground 20’s out yield 30’s on our farm by 15-20bu every time.
Just curious; What other equipment does he have and how many acres is farmed? Does he have a lot of bin space on the farm or does it go right to mill? In any event, I remember old 2 row check planters and 2 bottom turnin plows and 6 foot disks. In my young days I didn't know any farmers who had a lot of ground. They farmed their own and some on shares and some rented. I'm 78 and I remember those days fondly.
This is a large family farm running thousands of acres. They have several planters. This is the largest but they run a few DB60 36 row 20 inch planters. You can see one of those planters in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cFulfGytGtI.html They have a bin system and a fleet of IH Lonestsr semi trucks. They have an S790 combine and several S780s.
Charlie said that was a small field , lol, looked pretty big to me, lol, but I guess a planter that size makes makes it seem small, thanks for the video Jason!!!
I like watching UK farming in RU-vid. I do not think the DB90 would work well in transport in the UK at 55 ft long and 15ft wide. It moves pretty well on our Kentucky roads with are about 20ft wide.
It's cool planter for sure but seems with 54 rows on 20" that the dual 50 bu boxes would be increased in size cuz it seems like they effect the 350-450 acres a day.
It works well in big fields but will cover the smaller ones. The fields in this area are 50 to 100 acres. Lots of travel time. I have filmed a DB90 in a 900 acre field and with no travel and back and forth it can cover over 700 acres in a day.
@@bigtractorpower I have some friends in carlise that would be more than welcoming m&g farms has lots of nice and big equipment including a 600 quad pulling double pans every summer and tripple g farms one of the biggest land owners in ky
He’s got it in one planter. We have more in 4-24 row planters, but we don’t have room for that in most fields. You only so many days that you can use them

The RX tractors jumped 20 Hp. The 9570RX became the 9RX 590. It’s a little easier to say 9RX and the horse power rating. I just filmed a 9RX 640 and have a video on the 9RX 490 posted at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O142l9xgTgk.html
