I love the beginning of the video with the service truck leading those tractors down the road we had a very good perspective of actually how big that planter is
Billy did a masterful job being diplomatic about the three tractors strengths and weaknesses. But, I think the fact he's been in the Challenger the last 2 videos shows what his personal preference is. Please tell him and his family thank you for letting us all watch their operation. Very interesting and educational.
Thank you for watching. You are correct you will most often find Billy cruising at top speed in the Challenger. It’s the only non John Deere tractor on the farm. This is a 2019 MT875E that just replaced a similar 2017 MT875E. Billy has run a Challenger MT800 since 2006 trading every two years so this is Challenger number 8.
I bet every two years the challenger dealer is thinking this is the year I get the farmer to convert his fleet, this will be my best year ever!! Then the farmer is I will take one please.
Absolutely amazing another great video,wish it was as dry as that here in the UK everyone struggling to drill winter wheat and barley we have had so much rain. Keep saying it must come over the big pond to have a look. Regards from Lincolnshire UK.
This farm has a super nice setup and some very fine equipment. Mr. Billy sounds like a great man to work for. He mentioned the power hop on his 9620R wonder if he has looked into the LSW Goodyear ag tires?
Wonderful part 2. Watching the machinery go past on the road is very impressive. Inthe field you can see it's large equipment, however on the road it's massive taking up both lanes in each direction. How heavy are those Horst wheat planters ? It looks well built, heavy guage steel frames with large wheels. 600 bushels that grain cart is as large as a truck. Very nicely done. Pt 2 of interview in cab was interesting from his point of view and experience. Thoroughly enjoyed pt 2 BTP 🚜👍
Are they still running these same drills. I wonder if the Garnett's will have a need for the bigger 9RX 710,770, or 830, or if they are not interested in the bigger models? Don't know if they really have a need for them with their current implements? They have always run the biggest models available in the past.
Hi there. I enjoy watching your videos. I am from central Kansas. I am a custom sprayer applicator. What is a better tool to use- a high speed disc? Or a Kenzie diamond harrow? I want to know which one is better on rough ground like terraces or just plain rough ground.
It all really depends on what you want your seedbed to look like. Both are great tillage implements. The high speed disk will work up to 6 inches deep and really chop up stalks and work out ruts as well as wash outs. The Kelly only works 1.5 inches down. It will not remove wash outs. The Kelly will mix residue and break up stalks. It incorporates fertilizer well and knocks out tire traffic imprints. The Kelly never has to be raised on turns. A farm I know that runs a 45ft Kelly can stay 600 acres ahead of the corn planter with a days work.
Got a question about combines. What is the main factor why a farmer would buy a 9250 over a 8250? They seem to be the same except for the horsepower. Does a little higher HP really matter that much?
More horse power means allot in my opinion. Filming class 8 and 9 combines together in a field with the same heads I see the class 8 lag behind. In wheat both an 8 and 9 running 40ft heads side by side I feel like eating my arm to motion the 8 to hurry up because the 9 is pulling away fast. In corn with a 12 row head a nine just eats it and pours the grain out. An 8 does well but the 9 cover more acres in a day.
Yhst hs bery cool to now it is a family farm .great yo see the mean green.not fire about the cats as I have not ran any of them.hlad the family ket you film there farm too
Seeding in bulk has come along way. When I was a kid my neighbor ran a wooden box steel wheel McCormick drill on a Farmall M in the late 70s. Today he has a 30ft Case IH air still on a Case IH Steiger 335 HD. Farming has advanced allot. I do enjoy finding the classics.
That is volunteer corn. When they disked and it rained a bit the corn sprouted. The drills tear up most of the volunteer corn and frost in a few weeks will knock out the rest. They will apply herbicides next March to control grass and broadleaf weeds.
Not being a farmer. But I would love to ask the million dollar question. Is a lot of what brand you buy have to do with what DAD HAD? A lot to do what is a dealer thats close to the farm ? Does a brand have better this or that. And next year the other brand out due the others? I guess the answer is impossible maybe to answer. Like hay small square, large square and rolls.
Very surprised to see this farmer tracking beyond the center of the road when there was ample shoulder to move onto. Farmers in WNY will stay on the shoulders as much as possible to avoid crossing over the center of the road. Common courtesy.
This drill in 19ft wide folded up. You do not want to get it on the edge of the road with it and risk rolling it over. This road also had no out out let and had two lanes on the other side. It also had rained all morning so if he drive on the edge he would have brought up mud and left big ruts. I grew up near Rochester, NY. Where are you from?
They are doing this the expensive inefficient way. We do it very differently in Africa with a lot less machinery but hey, if it works for them, awesome.
Douglas Oakley we spread our wheat with a spreader (36m wise @ 10km/hr with a 210hp tractor) on top of our maize residue which has been chopped with chopping heads. We then run a VT or compact disk to lightly incorporate it in behind the spreader.
@@ZimFarm24 I would say your method is clearly cheaper, but much much uneven results you get there, beacause even emergence is one of the top things if you want top yealds like 10t/ha
siikais90 you are correct reference emergence. To counter this we spread a slighter higher rate than the guys who drill. Our yields are on par with guys who drill. The xtra capex/diesel costs are greater than the xtra kgs of seed per hectare. Not saying what they are doing is wrong, I just think there is a more efficient and cheaper way. If the neighbors were getting 2 ton more per Ha, I would jump on the seeder bandwagon tomorrow.
All combines have some loss. It just shows up well here because the warm weather allows it to sprout and grow. The green plants make it look worse than it is.
Do they own all of the land or lease it from other farmers? Very well done videos and fun to see how the Big Boys are farmin in the USA from Johan on tiny family farm in Sweden
Johan Abrahamsson I’m doing over one thousand acres ah day. I have a very big farm top 5 of the biggest in the entire USA 🇺🇸. Safety is first and foremost above all. Let me work let me live. Cheers sir
Not that special . I used to do 400 a day with one 950 versatile pulling 56 duckfoot double hooked with 56 c 150 international drills and hauled my own fuel seed and fertilizer. The farmers mother brought me excellent meals to feild

Yes please thank those farmers from us, like Billy and Matt that let you film and ride along we enjoy it.And thank you for taking the time to do it.
as a farmer myself, hearing from another real farmer made this one of my favorites
I love the beginning of the video with the service truck leading those tractors down the road we had a very good perspective of actually how big that planter is
It is 19ft wide folded. It takes up a bunch of real estate on the road.

I'm not a farmer, but worked on some mostly hay work and seen some shut down😒 this nice to whatch and I can appreciate you all do THANK YOU!! 👍✌🙏
You have great videos and I love seeing the farmers talking about the equipment they use their perspective on the way they use it on the farm.
That’s a lot of ground they cover in a day. Very impressive. Really like how Billy talks about the equipment and each job. Great vid. Cheers
Billy is a great guy and a good farmer.
Great to hear the conversation with the farmer. Thanks for the video, sure enjoyed it.
Thank you for watching.
Sweet ! I grew up in the period of switching from front mount cultivating to rear mount , 4 row to 6 row ! Wow I feel old now !
Dragging a 60ft Drill at 10MPH!!......what a BAD ASS video!
Thank you for watching. They cover some ground.
Great filming, interesting to hear the farmer's view on it all.
Thank you for watching.

Thx, nice film ! Powerful !
Thank you for watching.
The tractor is very big than my expectations 😱😱😵😵
Thank you for watching.
Cool shot with the plane in the background!
👍👍
Billy must like that Challenger as far as running one
Ummm both are great. And one has better than the other. For ground clearance and horsepower nothing like a deer x 15 Cummins 612 horsepower ah BEAST
This farm has a super nice setup and some very fine equipment. Mr. Billy sounds like a great man to work for. He mentioned the power hop on his 9620R wonder if he has looked into the LSW Goodyear ag tires?
Wouldnt run goodyears on anything. Michelin is the only way to go.
Charly Conrad I run both sir. My tractors have both on them thanks for watching sir
Thanks for the video those sod busters cover a lot of ground.
Mann, I love Caterpillar challengers!
😁👍👍
Yes but they aren’t Caterpillar anymore, they’re made by Agco. They haven’t had association with Caterpillar for a number of years.
I like the slow moving vehicle , triangle. Amish point there’s down on there buggies.
Great video
Thank you for watching.
Another great one!
Thank you for watching.
I like the way tractors go
Those seeders are brutes too. Excellent video
Thank you for watching.
Let me know if you need aerial fungicide application. Nice big fields for our Huey to run.
Wow very good video I did enjoy I like the that John deer with 12 wheels but I have to win the lottery 🙏🤗🍻
Badass equipment love it
Wow! 60ft drill I can get 150 acre planting cotton with a 12 row planter. You could defiantly cover some ground with those implements and tractors!!
So Beautiful smart Farming

@@bigtractorpower That does make a lot of sense. Very Interesting first hand info. Thank you.
Did they round up the spots with volunteer wheat? Don't usually see people planting into live volunteer wheat.
Wow..that wouldn't even fit down our lanes in Devon..lol..in the UK...
That yellow tractor is the best
😁👍👍
I use both. I have this on loan. I love my deer tho , thanks for watching, let me work let me live
It would be interesting to know value of ground per acre etc ... in southwest Ontario our ground is value @25k to 27k per acre now .
Wow that is big $$$. On average land here is $8K to $11K.
What part of Kentucky are you in,I sure would like to take a trip out there with my 7 year old son and let him see that, he would really enjoy it
I am near I-24 an hour from Nashville TN on the TN/KY state line.
So around Ft Cambell?
Yes.
Yhst hs bery cool to now it is a family farm .great yo see the mean green.not fire about the cats as I have not ran any of them.hlad the family ket you film there farm too
I did a little research and 11,000 acres of wheat should produce about 408,000 bushels of wheat on average, incredible .
Well here wheat normally hits around 90 to 100 bu per acre so it would yield over 1 million bushels.
I wonder why the have the blower for the air drill running during road transport?
It’s a whole starting process with a delay
They were only moving a half mile down the road.
Man I would work for nothing if I could run one of those we didn't plant much wheat ever, I think our steel wheeled grain drill was 8 ft,
Seeding in bulk has come along way. When I was a kid my neighbor ran a wooden box steel wheel McCormick drill on a Farmall M in the late 70s. Today he has a 30ft Case IH air still on a Case IH Steiger 335 HD. Farming has advanced allot. I do enjoy finding the classics.
Seems like a lot of grass where they're planting. What kind of weed control do they use once it's planted? Cool videos by the way!
That is volunteer corn. When they disked and it rained a bit the corn sprouted. The drills tear up most of the volunteer corn and frost in a few weeks will knock out the rest. They will apply herbicides next March to control grass and broadleaf weeds.
I see what you mean. I rewatched part of it and sure enough. volunteer corn. Some things don't come across the video as well as others! thanks
How many acres do they farm. Love the video. I am the one you met by haviland Ohio when my son was riding in the tractor.
Hi. I think your thinking of my friend Mike Less for Ohio. This farm covers over 30,000 acres per year. Thank you for watching.
jonathan tucker thanks for watching I cover 30 thousand acres sir.
I like the triples better than the big duels
Did that RX at the start have the fan turned on ?
It sure sounds like it did.
I think it was turned on
Saw some green in some areas of the field, is that grass or volunteer corn? Has it already been sprayed or do they come back and do that yet? Thanks!
It is volunteer corn. The drills plow allot up and frost will kill it off in a few weeks.
bigtractorpower thank you!
What kind of hours do they put on their line of equipment?
Most of the tractors will see 1,000 hours of use in a season. I will include some hours when I film the fleet completing fall tillage.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks Jason
Chugs a little going up the hill with the seeder hopper full.
The Horsch puts the 620 hp to work.
It’s just when you grew up in the 60’s and 120hp was huge, you would think 620 would drag a battleship like a toy. Times they have changed! LOL

There's different reasons for every farmer on why they choose the brand they do
How much cost one of the seeders
Who in the world can accumulate 11K acres. Was the farm built up over time - handed down through generations?
It dates back to the 1800’s. They over crop 33,000 acres per year. It is a family farm with 3 generations involved in the farm work every day.
Very surprised to see this farmer tracking beyond the center of the road when there was ample shoulder to move onto. Farmers in WNY will stay on the shoulders as much as possible to avoid crossing over the center of the road. Common courtesy.

That’s insane
They seed 11000 acres of winter wht do they seed corn or beans also
Yes. All of the wheat is followed by a second crop of soybeans and they grow an equal amount of corn.
Is this mostly custom work or rented ground ?
Who sets the combines in the corn
All combines have some loss. It just shows up well here because the warm weather allows it to sprout and grow. The green plants make it look worse than it is.
