Great video Mike. No moldboard plowing videos? I love moldboard plowing happy planting Mike.i’ve noticed that theres one in every crowd that give a thumbs down....
Thank you Rick. We didn't hook up the moldboard plow this year. We only had 2 small pieces that were sod that we plowed up so dad didn't want to hook the plows up just for those 2 small pieces. I wish he did but I just chiseled them. I usually get a couple per video. Some people just don't like my videos I guess
Thank you. When I disk or run the chisel plow I put the tractor in 4wd but in the auto mode so it goes out when I touch one of the brake pedals. Then I touch the pedal and take it out of 4wd when I make my turns
Another good video. Looks like the 4555 is running good. My dad used to use that same exact disk behind a 4450 when I was a kid. Good to see that small farming is still alive in some parts of the country. Is there a way that I can buy a hat like the one you wear?
Thank you. The 4555 is definitley running good. The black hat I wear was just something I had made up. I have Black and white ones that has the mikep7810 logo and an American flag on them
That field it seems like thats all it is, is a bunch of stones. We need to get a rock bucket so we can run the wheel loader and dump truck up and get the bigger ones out
Different areas do it different ways. I think its neat to see the different ways people do things. This was has worked well for us. Plowing and disking helps incorporate the manure we spread on it into the soil
How's it going Mike. It warmed up for a few days here but it's rainy and cool again. I was planning on attending the Delaware County Holstein Club Tag Sale next weekend but just got word it was cancelled due to the virus crap. That's not far from you is it?
Depends on the field. The sweet corn field and the last field in the video just once then rolled it. The rough field I disked it a couple times cause I didn't wanna take the roller harrow in that field
Hey! Are you the only one that really does any of the farming? Never see anyone else but your dad once in awhile. You mention your brother and cousin but don't see them other than harvest time. Just curious. Maybe they are just camera shy? Great video as always.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the videos. My father and my brother are full time on the farm. I have a job off the farm as well as a lot of the field work and equipment repairs. My dad doesn't mind being on camera too much but my brother really doesn't care for it. My cousin lives in New Jersey on their farm. He came up to help out in harvest one weekend
