What makes these style of videos is the long unedited video from the drone, all the fancy stuff putting clips together is nice yes but cant beat just watching it as it happens.
Another great video George! Like the style of this but I enjoy watching you because of the variety of styles you produce and the level of explanation you give to each job. Keep up the great work, it must be so much effort to put these together but we really do appreciate it 👍🏻😊 thank you!
I liked the way that video was done, much better seeing things from the drone. I did some on land ploughing the other day without gps for various reasons, and it was good to actually give me something to think about, but my line certainly wasnt straight🤣
Love the whole style of the video George, fantastic drone footage, the Fastrac certainly looks the business 🚜 and with that plough makes a great outfit - doing a grand job as well. Good to see proper land management (ploughing) taking place, I’m not into this minimum till or direct drilling lark, I think it’s right to turn the soil over every year. I was at our local vintage ploughing match last Saturday, the field had been direct drilled for the past ten years - the top two inches was like a dusty flour and below that was as hard as the road. Terrible conditions!!
Great style video. As someone who wishes I were doing some plowing, you bring the experience in a full enough measure to bring the joy of such. Thanks from East Texas amigo.
That's great looking plough we have Kuhn with 18 mole board 7 furrow fully mounted and it's one heavy plough! We pull her with Fendt 736 and still put 1/4 tonne counter weigh on fron
Great video with drone filming and voice over 👍🏻 Could you maybe one day film a sneek peak into your Mrs camera bag, just for the photo geeks among us 😉
Good video George 👍 saw a few times from drone footage that the front furrow actually starting to turn over quite a way in front of the mouldboard shows how stiff the soil is 🙄💪💪
For a better turnover of the soil you could use mouldboard extensions. In the past Kverneland’s couldn’t do without on heavier soils. Speed is also a critical factor. If you drive to fast (> 7 km/hour) the topsoil will come to fast of your little top mouldboards (don’t know the English for it), and that causes lumps that prevent an optimal turn of the soil. They should also go no deeper than 4-5cm, for the same reason. It’s a pity that on a Kverneland they have a fixed angle. For an optimal turnover of the soil for every inch deep you should plough 1,5 (or a little more) broad. Sorry for my poor English, hope you understand it... nice vid!
Just wondered if there is any adjustment on the width of the Disk Coulter. It seems to be a bit narrow, as the last plough is undercutting the disk and leaving lots of clods in the furrow. I liked to see an empty furrow, when using the old Ransoms 4 furrow, as I felt that any clod left in the furrow, spoiled the tractor balance the next time around.
Thanks George, nice bit of kit, good to see job well done, we often go in with a chisel plough to break up the tram lines, but that is not needed there? different style from our local ploughing matches!!
Intertesting video as always George thank you for posting. The last furrow #6 does not look as crisp as it should, is it due to the ground conditions being a little firm? should be okay you are running a disk coulter on that one
Yeah you can also see a few chunks of earth flick up and out under the land wheel causing it to lift up the back end of the plough.. but still a good vid George keep her lit !!
Always remember at oxenbold farms est scotch corner .tyas village farm !! Polish tractor dealer round there 80s ..ursurs..fairly made a grunt with the plough on ..
Too bad, I can hardly catch a word But this Is a nice video France This tractor makes me dream quite often At present, I have a 2170 and I expect to change for the new serie A 4220 or a 4190
Great video.. Yes I think this is the way to show off the actions the tech the way to do things in farming? George a couple of questions for you sir! 1 > does the JCB tractors ever use wheel weights? I not ever seen that on yours. 2 > do you believe that soon we see the tractors like yours do plowing and cultivating a field by the auto drive and steering without you needing to be in the tractor at all? just have a remote stop controller to stop the tractor if needed. Thanks.
Your starting to look like a countryfile presenter with ending like that,,:-) . i notice on the return run you are closer to the ploughing edge than when you go down the field, and also why dont you use the switchback turn at the end of each run as it eliminates the need for reversing and without stopping and it would put you directly inline with the new furrow,.
Yikes, when did they stop putting discs on ploughs. How many acres can you plough at that speed with that plough and what fuel consumption would you get. Great video George.👍
Hi George, Forgive my ignorance, but when I was a Lad the local tw30 pulled a 7 furrow plough. How come the more powerful fast track is pulling a 6 furrow? Many thanks. Mike
I put it into a delayed steering mode when doing work with autosteer, it allows just the front wheels to steer when actually under guidance but still gives the manoeuvrability of 4 wheel steer at the headlands
there's a steering wheel inside and when you turn it left, the tractor goes left and when you turn it right, the tractor- yes, you guessed right-goes right. aaaand if you keep it straight, the machine goes straight :)
More inches = more working width = faster job. This with fewer legs and wearing parts and thus lower cost. Fewer inches means the strip being turned is narrower and will invert more easily. This helps bury the plant material, desirable if you plan to create a bed and seed soon after because your equipment will not block up. But people also plough in Autumn and let the weather break it down to plant in Spring. In that case, maximising surface area is the goal and ridges provide that. So soil is just turned over its side and leaning against the next furrow. It does not have to be 'clean' free of plant material as the Winter frosts will take care of that. Bigger furrow widths can be used here. Essentially these are the extremes and growers will decide on their specs based on what they want to achieve, their soils and conditions and ultimately that is then paid for, or compromised by budget limitations
