Good morning Conley, you are one hard working man. Thank you for another very informative video. I’ve learned more about farming since I’ve been watching your YT channel than I ever knew before. 😃
If you know the hell our family farms have been put through by the gov’t since the 70’s, it’s absolutely astounding that they’ve worked themselves to the bone to survive. They are literally our life blood & until Pres Trump, I don’t recall any POTUS shining on spotlight on them, fighting for them & the USMCA. Hopefully they ALL really do “need bigger tractors”(don’t get started on Ag equipment price gauging, it’s somewhere between gas price & military complex gauging!)
@@conleybanman love the Farm-tubers, now that I found you(& I buy peanuts in 20 lb bags for my squirrels-in PA) I love watching peanut farmers & will be binging your channel! God Bless
It always amazes me how much sand you have in your soil in Texas. You mentioned that you were short of rain and I live in Northwest Indiana and were are low on rain as well. Glad you grow peanuts as it is so different than most channels growing Corn and Soybeans.
Ok,havent seen anyone else but myself before using wire to the tractorfront from implement,I use it on my 40 shank 10 meters Kongskilde full cut stubble harrow on MF 9240.Thank you.
Were is your farm ? I worked on farms for 25 years i miss it i was by lubbock and whiteface . we had corn and cotton and peanuts and more . its been 7 years .i like to work on a farm but im 64
Just found your channel this morning you make some great videos where are you farming at it’s a lot different than South Georgia one mile rows in one of your videos that’s crazy I’d fall asleep
I think the best thing ever in ag is the GPS. It made big rigs like yours possible. Beautiful plowing. 👍🚜💨 What was that? A blue cap in the back window.
Always nice to learn how things are planted and grown, thank you for sharing with us. You may like to research the grips on that wire rope stabiliser, one is not quite right, and a thimble in the eye would help with the wear issues headed your way.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Kayden Richard I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
So enjoyable watching your videos, I can almost smell the fresh turned soil. I wish there was a way to bottle that odor, I would buy a few liters from you. Doing my best to figure out what part of west Texas you are in, I know peanuts 🥜 took over the cotton farm I was raised on in Gaines and Yoakum counties. Kinda funny that the seat on the G John Deere I learned on had a massager too, but it only worked on really rough ground. I would have had to make 3 complete rounds with my lister to cover what you do in one pass. How many acres do you farm?
Wow! 16 row bedder! Thats massive! Twice the size of ours! Lol we just started bedding peanut land today! Verrrrry interesting setup you got there! Never seen a bedder with plow blades like that to bed up rows before! I'm used to seeing disk blades on a bedder! And then man not only do you guys have auto Steer but that contraption attached to the weights you say keeps the tool bar from swaying! Thats some serious straightness!! Lollol! Awesome!! Get er done!!
? from a non-farmer, but always wondered. How do you calculate the angle change in listing/planting rows from year to year? Or are the rows you’re crossing on an angle just from cultivator harvesting at a different angle?
@@conleybanman thanks! (I’m off today, so been binging-currently at peanut harvest 2020 & winter wheat planting) 1 thing I’ve noticed about all the successful generational family farms is they make it fun! None of you fall to pieces over setbacks or weather bc you can’t control it. If something breaks, you fix it. There’s no same-day Amazon delivery in the middle of 8000 acres, you’re all multi-talented from chemicals to welding to mechanics. You use what you have on hand, get creative & make it work. Refreshing to see younger gen, getting dirty, greasy, muddy-working. No “safe spaces”
Oh yea there’s tons of farmers around our area that work the same way. We love being jack of all trades it’s fun. I don’t think I’d enjoy farming if we didn’t make it fun
@@conleybanman there wouldn’t BE family farms if the generations before you didn’t make it fun for their kids. I bet your dad had you & brothers in tractors in diapers. Had you in the shop fetching tools when you were toddlers, taught you the value of hard work, literally “reaping what you sow”. I love the feeling of planting our little vegetable garden, harvesting, canning our own food(we’re also very Blessed to have Amish produce farms all around us here in PA), best part is hearing the popping sound of a jar sealing. Same type of feeling you have seeing those beautiful peanuts being plowed.
That’s not even farming any more. This new generation ever loose their tech,,,,,the population would starve. But great job. Keep up the good work with the right colour.
If that tractor is struggling a bit thats good for its motor to run in. For the first few hundred hours you should max it out nonstop if possible to run it in
Do you knock off any of the bed when you plant the peanuts? If not, do you ever have an issue getting the combine to pick up the vines out of the middle?
We shorten the beds a little bit our peanut diggers have a bracket on the bottom (self manufactured) that brings dirt right underneath the row so it sits a little higher easier to pick up with the combine
We had to do it on a cement floor and lots of measuring to make sure they were all the same depth each unit is separate. It helps that all the shanks are the same length and we can kinda go according to that
So you're 36" on peanuts. Are you 30" on cotton and corn? Only in West TX, would you see a16 row X 48' wide lister.😝 What HP is the new tractor? You should be saving a lot of peanuts at harvest, since your combines will match the rows exactly. I can imagine it was a problem with the 12 row.
@@conleybanman Most people here in my area are 30 on cotton and corn. But we have better water, and they're trying to top 4 bales. Most of the custom harvesters are 30, too. With limited water 36 is better. And I do know 2 or 3 guys who are still 36 and have the JD Balers but like YOU they still grow peanuts. Keeps your tools useful in both crops!
Que trabalho lindo. Por aqui muito difícil fazermos esse tipo de serviço, geralmente fazemos no inicio de implantação da cultura ou do sistema de cultivo, depois rotação de culturas com plantio direto. Pena não entender oq vc diz..kkk. show de bola, um abraço, obrigado.
We currently don’t have enough water to water all of our pivots but it’s around 1,000 gallons per section. Our best section has 2,000 and our worst is 350 so it’s kinda all over the place
Good morning Conley, you are one hard working man. Thank you for another very informative video. I’ve learned more about farming since I’ve been watching your YT channel than I ever knew before. 😃

I know I like to be different
I am in Texas where the sand is so fine that it is like dust. Our soil is silty clay loam 33% of each. Our soil would stick to peanuts.
Man! That field is very clean not a single rock....Wow!
I know I hate rocky fields
@Jaxson Mario Yeah no one gives a shit
great video, With your new 8R you don't have to hold the key to start it, just flick it once and it will start, top tip for you :-)

Just found your channel this morning you make some great videos where are you farming at it’s a lot different than South Georgia one mile rows in one of your videos that’s crazy I’d fall asleep
We farm in west Texas we don’t have trees so it’s very easy to set up big fields
I think the best thing ever in ag is the GPS. It made big rigs like yours possible. Beautiful plowing. 👍🚜💨
What was that? A blue cap in the back window.
That’s where you fill up windshield washer fluid
And yea we wouldn’t be able to farm like we do if we didn’t have gps
Always nice to learn how things are planted and grown, thank you for sharing with us. You may like to research the grips on that wire rope stabiliser, one is not quite right, and a thimble in the eye would help with the wear issues headed your way.
There’s actually not that much wear it might take ten years before the cables would break

Haha yea we tried it without the cables and man it did a terrible job helps out a ton
@@conleybanman aahhh!! Ok! So those type of blades do actually make it harder to keep straight!?
Yea I’m assuming so since it’s digging into the ground but this way there’s is way less bearings to worry about
@@conleybanman got cha! you are absolutely right about the bearing issue! We've had to change far too many already! Smh
Haha oh yea it sucks it takes so much time out of the day
Very cool video. Enjoyed watching
I can't believe deere hasn't gone to joy stick steering on big toys like this
Has a brand done that? Except the ideal 10
That tractor is a beauty
really cool, great time and workload management...interesting
? from a non-farmer, but always wondered. How do you calculate the angle change in listing/planting rows from year to year? Or are the rows you’re crossing on an angle just from cultivator harvesting at a different angle?
We typically like to stay at 180° or 90° just because it makes it easier for spraying

Oh yea I was driving tractors since 12 or even younger and wanting to ride with to the farm at a young age man those were some good memories
I've seen lots of tillage equipment, but never one with cables to the front like that.
Fantastic tractor!
I heard that you can damage the transmission by pulling back the CommandPro lever, I would just use the regular breaks to slow the tractor down.🙂
I wouldn’t see why it would it’s just like an ivt
Do yall knock the tops off the rows before planting?
That’s not even farming any more. This new generation ever loose their tech,,,,,the population would starve. But great job. Keep up the good work with the right colour.
Haha good thing I grew up with no tech so I shouldn’t starve lol
You could paint the chain link that's correct for those cables a different colour and then you wouldn't need to count them when hooking them up
Cool video for ASMR, love farming videos but this is super cool.
Nice vid Conley good morning keep up the good work
First grade video always enjoy watching them.
second are you going to tune your tractor.
Only if it causes problems
"Wait until today evening..." I honestly can say that I've not heard that before. Wonder where he is from.
If that tractor is struggling a bit thats good for its motor to run in. For the first few hundred hours you should max it out nonstop if possible to run it in
Oh yea for sure way better for the exhaust too since it has to clean itself and def stuff new tractors all like to be run at higher rpms
Do you knock off any of the bed when you plant the peanuts? If not, do you ever have an issue getting the combine to pick up the vines out of the middle?
We shorten the beds a little bit our peanut diggers have a bracket on the bottom (self manufactured) that brings dirt right underneath the row so it sits a little higher easier to pick up with the combine
That's a nice tractor!
You wanna drive it 😂
@@conleybanman if I had time I'd be on way, with my drones of course lol
Oh yea can’t forget the essentials 😅
I like this video
Yeah 280 looks like a spaceship
Nice keep up the great videos
I run a R4030 spreader like this.
They rides very smooth
Oh yea I love em
Some good looking soil!
So is the tractor controlled by GPS
You guys don’t plant all your peanuts into all listed beds ? Thought I saw a video of you planting into flat ground.
Yea we had 2 fields on flat ground but the rest was all listed beds
I just looked up DEF, they make you guys use that for farming? But not on truck shipping?
Yea it’s kind of annoying but at least it’s better than the exhaust filter that they came out with those always caused problems
Hello! What does the thin disc behind the shank do?
Helps keep it straight
Nice work I really admire I pit u need little hand
That dirt sure does looks familar! Nice to a youtube channel on farming in west texas! I live in Lubbock lol
Yea lol that’s not that far away
You make the video great
Thanks
I been waiting on yall to start back up
Why do you guys make rows for the peanuts?
How do you set the depth of each buster?
On the orthman you can set each buster separately
We had to do it on a cement floor and lots of measuring to make sure they were all the same depth each unit is separate. It helps that all the shanks are the same length and we can kinda go according to that
My roll a cone has disc blades that pulls beds up
What do u mean ur low on rain we’re lucky to get that in Western Australia but I have no experience with peanuts so problem been more rain with then
Well we don’t get more than an inch of rain a year so it’s pretty dry
So you're 36" on peanuts. Are you 30" on cotton and corn? Only in West TX, would you see a16 row X 48' wide lister.😝
What HP is the new tractor? You should be saving a lot of peanuts at harvest, since your combines will match the rows exactly. I can imagine it was a problem with the 12 row.
Look like a 8R280
Also 36” on cotton and yes it’s gonna make a difference at harvest more so for the peanut digger
@@conleybanman Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Little more wiggle room on the combines.
@@conleybanman Most people here in my area are 30 on cotton and corn. But we have better water, and they're trying to top 4 bales. Most of the custom harvesters are 30, too. With limited water 36 is better. And I do know 2 or 3 guys who are still 36 and have the JD Balers but like YOU they still grow peanuts. Keeps your tools useful in both crops!
We actually have some fields that average 5 bale per acre on 36” we’ve realized that it doesn’t make a difference on yield for how your spacing is
No people and the vast expanse of open land is nice
Do you irrigate the peanuts with the pivots?
Yes we do. We don’t get any rain so everything is irrigated
@@conleybanman if you don't get any rain where this underground watetr gather
There’s streams underground and aquifers I believer comes from up north
@@conleybanman thank you for your super nice videos
So you're not on the haying crew?
Which fertilizer is using ?
It’s a blend of potassium sulfur phosphate and nitrogen
@@conleybanman Thanks 🙂🙏🏻
Man you guys got nice soil out that way
Y'all get that toolbar from Roll-A-Cone? My dad had one of their listers, a rod-weeder, and quite a few of their attachments.
I believe we got ours in wellman
@@conleybanman did y’all get it from SM fab?
Yes I believe so
@@conleybanman oh nice I’ve got 3 cousins that work there
Oh cool
Hi Conley. How deep are you working the soil?
Only 6” or so just enough to get a nice tall bed
@@conleybanman Thanks for replying. Peanuts is not a crop we can grow in England, so its nice to see how it is done.
Are you running the sway blocks tight with no sway?
No they have a bit of give
That screen flickering would drive me crazy lol
It doesn’t actually flicker it’s just how the camera picks it up. Cameras and screens don’t go well together
A little late, but the refresh rate of the screen and the shutter speed of the camera is different, that's why it flickers.
Yea what he said☝🏼👌🏼
So all peanut fields are circular?
All of our fields are circular we irrigate everything so they all have center pivots
Looks like west texas to me lol, almost all we have is sand and a bit of caliche.
Haha yup basically 😂

What are the four metal discs for?
Just to help keep it straighter
Man, there's nothing worse than a wire rope sliver! Good thing their new! Where are your gloves? Don't you hate comments like this one!🤣
Haha I actually had gloves in the tractor just didn’t feel like putting them on
Enjoy the videos! And I love peanuts!
Never heard them called busters before ever or listing
Great video. I assume you're in TX. What part?
Yup Gaines county area
Nice, Dawson here.
Three digit tractor I d ,what is deere doing
dead soil, poor quality food and a red bottom line, perfect! the 5 soil health principles are desperately needed here.

Are you afraid of running out of water? Why not no till. How ,any gum you have. Seems arid environment with a lot of wind and evaporation.
Running out of water is always a possibility. But when we plant peanuts we have to go through this process. Our cotton is no till or minimum till
@@conleybanman how are you wells gpm doing. We farm in Kansas. Just curious. I hear a lot of th ogallala running low.
We average 10hp pumps but there’s a few 20’s and 30’s. A few sections don’t have bigger than a 5hp 😢
@@conleybanman
How many GPM do you average per pivot
We currently don’t have enough water to water all of our pivots but it’s around 1,000 gallons per section. Our best section has 2,000 and our worst is 350 so it’s kinda all over the place
what happens when its no longer any water in the ground to pump up. Very bad ideas amerikans
