Them Shit hawks could smell that fresh turned ground for 20 miles. They know a fresh feast has been laid on the table when ground gets turned. I seen it every year since I was a kid. Same thing at harvest too. . lol. I think you hit the nail on the head with the 30" beans plan, especially if it's a dry year. Does ground good to have a change of crop.
I do love love watching that disc do its thing. I could definitely tell that tractor is running much stronger. It isn't laboring nearly as much as last year. I had no idea how much difference the cultimulcher would make. Guess I learned a new again.
I've never worked any muck. But it's obvious that soil is a whole different animal compared to sandy loam and clay. That mulcher did a real nice job of firming up the soil. Thanks for the video.
That disc does such a good job with just one pass it’s hard to believe, we always ran Krause discs, but that ole girl gets it done👍🏻keep crushin it young man and hope y’all had a great memorial day weekend 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸
Growing up we ran a 20' Ford 230 (rebadged Pittsburgh 12' main frame w/4' wings) disc with manual wings behind our 9600. it came with a gear-driven crank to extend & retract wings. Never work more than a couple times before seizing up from all the dirt it collected in the gears. We even tried keeping it in a big plastic bag in the cab instead of in its storage on the disc. No go. When I got big enough, I just manhandled to extend and left them until winter storage when we used the loader to retract.
Muck ground can be challenging...especially if you get into a wet spot. It has virtually no body to it, one turn of the wheel and you can be in to the belly.
I do Not miss unfolding and folding up them disc wings like that. We had one like that but a ac when I was a kid but I think it had more blades on the wins then yours but man them things were heavy! Never so happy to see that disc leave after I got a bigger hydrologic wing fold!!
Hate to bother you with this Ethan but could you give me the name of the place where you get your Oliver parts? I need to rebuild the pto output on my 1600, thanks in advance.
The best is when you’re pulling a rolling harrow behind something and the get out of the way for the first tool just to land in between them and get smoked by the harrow.
Looks like the disc does a decent job. I pull a coil packer behind the field cultivator on my blow sand. Funny how terminology changes over the years. I would call that a light or finishing disc, in modern terms it would be “vertical tillage”
Yes they are, but many companies are calling heavy framed disc's with low concave blade vertical tillage machines. Marketing I guess. I have a summers supercoulter, zero angle on the blades, that is vertical tillage.
Years ago I was telling someone how I would disc up the ground, then pack it back down. He said why if you end up with the same thing you started with. I've been no-tilling ever since.
That's the weed of the week ragweed all seriousness with the drought situation year after year after year you really should look at Cover crop in those fields we planted into a cover crop burn down and you won't believe the difference in a dry season by leaving a heavy cover crop is ground cover
