I like the disk we used to use a 479 hay mower the pick up would rake the stalks and debris which all go thru the roller crimper and be windrowed then run chopper with hay head to mulch them up. Fuel and labor intensive but did a great job. We were sticklers for field prep!
Disc is doing a good job getting those stalks down into the soil where mother nature will break them down. Cheaper than mowing then discing. Good job Mike. Take advantage of the weather while you can they are calling for some snow this coming weekend
HNY Mike & family. Yes sir, the old disc does a fine job. I was thinking how long it would’ve takin me with my uncles Ford 3600 & an appropriate size disc. 😆 Take care & stay safe. PS great drone footage & filming by the young fella. Cheers
Nice video. Can’t believe how well that disc mulches everything. That older Deere has a distinctive roar under load. What’s the plan for this field next spring before beans. Will you seed straight in?
Thank you. The plan for next year is to chisel plow, then disk it, then put fertilizer down, then run the roller harrow over it to smooth things out and work in the fertilizer, then drill beans
Your disk does a great job on those stalks. Sure is different to be in the field in January. Makes me hope there won't be a foot of snow in the fields come May.
Happy New Year Mike, thanks for taking the time to put out the videos. I was surprised to see the disc tires were off the ground while you were working those fields up with how wet it is there, I thought it would penetrate more. But it looks like it did a nice job of knocking down and burying those stalks, that's the main thing. All the best in 2024!
Thank you. I thought the disk did a pretty good job considering the conditions. There were some really wet spots in the last field that the tires were moving and the disk sunk right in
You’d think with the duals on the 4250 would just play with that disk. I guess soil type really does play a factor in what you can use in front. Maybe if you chopped the stalks first? 😏 Just another reason to get that 7810
Happy new year Mike and family Seams alot of material left this year will it all breakdown before spring sowing? Good you can get on field it's soo wet here at the moment Take care 👍
Hey Andy. I disk them to break them up then I wanna get the field covered with manure before I chisel it that way the chisel works the manure into the soil as it works the ground. Thats why I disk the stalks, spend the off season covering the field with manure, then chisel it

Mam w gospodarstwie 3650 i 4250 czy to prawda że w USA to kultowe ciągniki zastanawiam się dlaczego u was często użytkuję się te maszyny bez przedniego napędu w Europie nie spotyka się takich ciągników
Model 4250 to ciągnik, który wielu ludziom w USA bardzo podoba się w tym stylu John Deere. Jeśli chodzi o napęd na 2 koła lub na 4 koła, wszystko zależy od gruntu, na którym uprawiasz, pracy, którą wykonujesz za pomocą ciągnika, a niektórzy rolnicy po prostu wolą napęd na 2 koła
@@mikep7810 dzięki że odpowiedziałeś mi po polsku mój angielski jest pewnie gorszy od twojego chińskiego chciałbym jeszcze zapytać o wielkość średniego gospodarstwa w stanach ja mam 160 sztuk bydła i około 80 hektarów ziemi takie gospodarstwo w Polsce jest uważane za raczej większe i czy to prawda że można zamówić w fabryce John Deere stare wersje ciągników
@@mikunda6758 Uprawiamy około 450 akrów i mamy około 130 sztuk bydła, co sprawia, że jesteśmy uważani za małe gospodarstwo. Z tego co wiem, nie można zamówić ciągnika starszego typu z fabryki John Deere. Można kupić używany traktor starszego typu od dealerów, ale nie można kupić nowego ciągnika starszego typu
