Case IH QUADTRAC Tractors Subsoiling 

Quadtracs are solid tillage machines

Thank you for watching. Quadtracs do a good job. The 500 and 580 are good tractors.

Neat, we live in Rappahanock VA, 👋

Thank you for sharing. Equipment sure has grown. As a kid the 1066/1086 were king on dairy farms in the area.

😁👍👍. Thank you for watching.

This field is around 200 acres. All the seasons were filmed in the sane field to show the progression.

Thank you for watching. This was fun to film.

😁👍👍

Up and

Thank you for watching. It is always interesting to see how farming changes from region to region.

Yes, here it's usually one tractor with two shanks!

Thank you for watching it’s a lot of fun filming these machines.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching. It was fun following these tractors at work in the same field for a full season

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Certainly as spring work gets started their will be many more videos like this one. Thank you for watching.

@@bigtractorpower You're welcome

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

@@bigtractorpower Always fun!👌

Thank you.

Thank you for watching.

This farm has a good tillage team. Weather permitting they can wrap up in about two weeks.

Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching.

It is a good sized operation. They cover quite a few acres this year.

Thank you for watching.

@@bigtractorpower Hi from Cambodia

Quadtracs are handy tractors for broad acres.

Thank you for watching.

@@bigtractorpower love your videos they are a big help honestly with my toy reviews. If you like toy farm equipment I have started to do reviews on them

The fuel bill no doubt is not enjoyable but the fracturing of the compaction and airing out the soil, opening it up to collect water and reduce run off is a great benefit for the corn crop that follows.

Very cool line up. The 1755 is one of my all time favorite tractors. It’s neat you plow with an MM plow on it. I just posted a video of an MM G1350 on Friday running an Oliver 540 plow.

@@bigtractorpower my earlier in 1974 bought a new oliver 1655 and my dad had a mm 302 on the plow first. then the 1655 pulled the plow. in 1978 had alot of rain so used another tractor to pull oliver 1655 oliver thru some wet spots. we had a z moline.

Yes it canola. It sure is bright at corn plants ring time.

It is the vacuum system on the planter. This is a 1250 corn planter. The current 2150 ha the vacuum fan turned facing down which run quieter and pushes the dust clean out down.

Typically it is around 6 mph.

There are definitely all types of way to prepare a seed bed from moldboard plowing to no till. Sun soiling works very well in this area in the double crop situation. This farm does a bunch of test plots every year looking at a variety of methods. No till farming was invited in Christian County KY where this was filmed. You see allot of no till especially on the double crop beans.

My guess is those are rocky spots. Or highly erodible areas.

They raise the 2500 on places that water washes across the field on a slight slope to reduce any erosion y leaving the earth undisturbed. The farm just no tills those spots. GPS allows them to map the field and know the exact spots to lift up over and leave unworked. .

The QUADTRAC is solid tractor and in my opinion the most refined four track tractor. The two track tractors are pretty good too. The QUADTRAC is less likely to spin out in the field rolling through mud and up hills with big implements. I have seen a two track tractor struggle in mud because it can’t turn out of it. I have watched a two track tractor with a 60ft air drill spun out on a hill that a QUADTRAC with the same drill climbed right up. A two track tractor tends to ride over ditches like a tank with the front end raising up and coming down with a thud. A two track on a 120 inch track spacing will road smoother and provide great speeds in the field. Both a good tractors but the QUADTRAC has a few edges In the field.

@@bigtractorpower Thank you Jason for taking the time to give that clear answer to my question. You will no doubt be in Case-IH's good books although I assume this would pretty much apply to all four track tractors - as far as looks, I like the Versatiles!

Honestly, I still think of them more as Steiger than Caseih

😁👍👍

There is less compaction from the tracks and better field speed for improved traction.

Thank you for watching.

Any make except Deere!!!

Thank you for watching. I do my best to cover all the brands from week to week 😁👍

This farm and the one Matt works have several fields that border each other.

@@bigtractorpower awesome!

Most farms I film at plant the boundaries first. It does not impact the crop to much. A few are using gps to plant the center and then the boundaries last.

@@bigtractorpower Good to know thanks

Yes I am. Wednesday.

You would not be covering many acres.

Thank you for watching. I try to cover all the brands each month. I just posted a similar video last week featuring all John Deere at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_jgKNlY5b8c.html

The best green is Claas green. 😊 But really, as long as it puts traction to the ground and runs well you're not going to hear me complain. Some farmers here use combines Rostselmash, they do a good job (and are a LOT more affordable than some other brands).

No this was all footage from 2016 that had not been used. WKY is about 3 weeks out from spring 2022 field work.

😁👍👍

I own a Case IH 415 culti mulcher that I use with the 4786. I did a live stream from the 4786 cab for about an hour this fall here on the channel. It’s a fun tractor to operate.

I have not heard any issues on the 180 plus hp tractors in red or blue.

@Jimmy Strain What sort of issues do people have with New Holland? While not AG equipment, I've heard the same of new Volkswagen cars, even the $60+k ones. Dealers say they take as many back after a few months as they sell, because the software is abysmal and the quality took a dive. I'm German, so hearing me knock a German brand like that they really messed up. haha

@@2xKTfc wiring harness was big issue and other software problems, the thi g in our area is the serve they are receiving, not necessarily New Holland itself , the dealer is a big part

It takes a lot of power to pull those big shanks through the ground. They are breaking up compacted earth.

They are running 9 shanks 18 inches deep in compacted soil. It’s like throwing a boat anchor on the tractor nine times.

@@bigtractorpower Just an observation. The 600 bareback is pulling 9 and the 400 3 points are pulling 7😁

John Deere fwa tractors are good machines.

Thank you for watching.

They lift it on highly erodible areas where washes heavy. By leaving those spots in worked it prevents wash out gully’s.

Thank you for watching.
