Great video and some beautiful country out there! Here in southeast Georgia where I live it’s pine trees and more pine trees! Thanks for sharing Jessie!
Very nice machine. Definitely have thought about getting one and putting strobel baskets on the rear. Would like to see what this can do with a cover crop in the middles. Awesome video as always
Nice work. This is how you maintain a field properly. Understanding how the soil web works. Chop it up. Proper tillage to keep the plant material decomposing it's nutrients back into the soil. Prepping the beds for seeds. Seed and then pray Mother Nature doesn't wipe you out. Best wishes and God Bless America
Here in michigan we try to notill some of our soybeans . Our corn does not like notill so we do chisel plowing on 60 percent of our corn. We really like runing our great plains turbo max vertical tillage tool that barely disturbs the ground but chews up the residue Our soils are sandy but we have some heavy wet clay soils . Our corn yields 30 bushels more if vertical tillage is done soybeans is almost 15 bushels more. In our chisel plowed fields we run a 40 foot field cultivator over them before planting . We have tried the Othman root baller they work great but our ground is rocky. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
Great video. You have some amazing ground. Here in Western New York the stones would eat that machine up lol. I would love to have some ground like that.
Man alive that thing is built like a freakin main battle tank lol I love it. Kinda like a wishek disc in the heavy duty construction. I can see why you like that particular task lol I would have fun too
We also run a 12 row with 36” spacings. There’s no need at all for the auto steer and I even take off the sway blocks. Those big disks will stay dead center on top the old ridge.
We looked around a few years back for the most practical tool for our situation and this was it! It's a way to plant in the same row without disturbing all the soil!
Would you be able to do that if you didn’t shred stalls or would it plug in there? Also what do the discs have holes around the inside? Love watching these videos👍
We tried it on 40acres last year and it worked fine in it however the planter would keep plugging. I think if we would have harvested lower to the ground maybe it would of worked! The holes are actually bolt heads that wild the side knobs on they help break up the top soil
From the research we've been doing we can produce just as good of yeilds as people on 30" in our area. The only disadvantage for us is it takes a little longer to shade the row. We've thought many times of switching but don't want to deal with the price of switching all the equipment
Does all of your fertility go onto the ridge and how many years do you stay on the same ridges? Do you feel this helps with compaction as you are never planting into wheel tracks?
We have 2 set ups for fertilizing. One going in the middle of the 2 rows and the other goes along the Ridge. We started Ridge tilling in 2009 and haven't changed the Ridge since. We feel it seems to help
When planting why not move the row placement over a few inches and leave that existing root structure to build up the soil? It is neat to watch this implement at work.
