In this video I am out in there field with one of my neighbors as they plant their 2021 soybeans with a John Deere 8650 tractor with a Kinze Repower pulling a 310 row Kinze planter.
It is nice to see a mechanical planter at work. Without all of the electronics that demand a electronics degree so to operate and repair the darn things.
Nice planting set up. As always, you have the best drone footage Mike. I watch a lot of farming videos but you do the best. Oh, gotta love the planter markers being used as well.
Hi Mike, love your channel and videos, but I would like to see your equipment you use for the videos and maybe a shot or two of the truck you drive, I'm a big fan of American truck's. Keep up the nice work.
We're still rocking a 6 row of that exact planter. It's 20 years old, but it still works well. It's a pain to setup differently, but being only 6 -1 1 rows it's not that big of a deal to switch that many times. The depth is pretty much great. I check it every year and it's right on. That was one of our main worries back when we drilled in beans. We go into notill so it's a concern to get it through stubble and the like. Before that we were using a great plains drill for beans and 6 row IH cyclo air planter for corn (using air before it got popular =p). Man it's late to plant beans, I guess you can do it beans after wheat... With $14+ beans I guess you'd want to do it =p, We used to do beans after wheat back in the early 90's when we had hogs, it's been so long it never enters my mind.
Did you send the guy in the JD a message like: "Psssst! Please use the marker or some of my viewers get kinda weird..." 😉 Many thanks for the video! 😊👍🏻
When I was still helping on the farm GPS hadn't been thought of yet . The boss so good I couldn't find any difference and he had one marker broken for the day
