I’m no till, but if you set that really shallow, and pit some air seeders on it, with minimum angle on the discs, it would be a great way to pin down residue and keep it on your field, and spread cover crop seed.
@@henrylopez5252 I demonstrated a 40 ft qwik till high speed, 8.5~9 mph was a good pull for it. Used it for about 100 acres in a 300 acre field, couldn’t tell the difference between the two disks. Will keep the Sunflower, instead of giving it away on trade.
@@kirkmadsen6758 right on!! Ivers Farms has a video with both the Case and JD high speed discs and talks about what they like and dislike. I understand every operation is different and different soil types, so it's what works and is best for each farm. Appreciate y'alls hard work!
35' at 12 MPH - wow. Can do a few acres a day......great equipment, great day - what I'd give to do that for a week. 500 gallons of fuel - $1,800 a fill? Wow.
We run an 8235r with either a case offset 16’ disk or a 19’ 3pt chisel plow that was probly custom built by the guy before us as we bought it at an auction
I see the reason for the tongue on the disk being so long due to how it folds up for transport. But seems to be excessively long even for turning with duels to me.
Both are good. It depends on how much ground you need to work. The Deere can go deeper if you want to be aggressive in high residue. The Kelly is awesome for working the surface. It can run in corn stalks but will leave all the residue. A farm I film at has a 45ft Kelly and runs a 24 row planter. They will get 600 acres ahead of the planter in a day and park the tillage for a couple of days to let the planter catch up.
I think You were near my area of Michigan. Where in Michigan were you at ? We farm 5200 acres of corn wheat soybeans and double crop soybeans plus we custom farm for others in southern Michigan and northern Ohio. We use a 50 foot Krause disk and a 35 foot Salford vertical tillage tool. The Salford is pulled by a 450 quadtrac the krause disk is pulled by a 580 quadtrac. We have a johndeere 9510r it will run our new to us db90 planter that is 54 rows at 20 inch spacing. We tend to do shallow tillage and plant cover crops . We do a heavy tillage rotation every 4 years we chisel plow and we try to vertical till in between rotations. Some of our heavy soils we chisel plow every year . Nice video keep up the good work !
@@henrylopez5252 no he is about 2 hours north of us maybe 3 hours . He farms near the thumb of Michigan. Where we are on the ohio Michigan border area . He runs a great channel and is a good guy .
@Monk Farmer we run a inline ripper on our headlands and where we park trucks . We run a johndeere 2730 combination ripper . Our main issue is that soybeans tend to yield 10 to 15 bushels more when we vertical till or disk . We only notill on sandy soils or hillsides or when we plant our double crop soybeans after winter wheat . Our main crop is soybeans and we tend to have high yields last year we had 85 bushels an acre average. We still grow a fair amount of corn but around here everybody grows corn and the market has been flooded. We grow sorghum and sunflowers as well . The sunflowers don't yield much but we grow them for a seed company. Take care and stay safe !
@@anthonybanda8192 ur around nathan of Border view farms? He's on Ohio michigan border. Has soybean technology advanced tremendously lately? 85 an acre average is phenomenal, isn't it? When I was around farming regularly 15 yrs ago in ne Indiana, 65 was great average. (I'm not sure what it is now)
The point of this tillage pass is to start the decay process of the corn stalks. This implement is set at the 2 inch mark to size residue and put some dirt on it. The 2680H can go 6 inches deep if they want to work more soil.
