Metal fatigue and then the repair weld is hard / brittle, both problems are hard to get away from without a lot of extra work. Keep up the great videos.
A thought on your broken chisel if this problem happens again. Leave the two link arms hooked up, take the top link off your tractor and put in a chain, and run the chain around the up part of the frame to get it back to the shop.
Hi Matt... Great to see you getting the tillage work done... Suggest when your welder guy comes in, get him to do some serious gusset plating with low hydrogen rods on that linkage plough... Sufficient gusset plate's will fix the issue of the cracking... Stay safe...🇦🇺👍🇺🇸
Hey Matthew, when I first saw the notification picture I thought that you and Pops were going to show off by backing around the field. I would be very impressed. Nice video man.
Hi John! That would be hilarious, hooking a chisel plow up backwards to do the field in reverse. There should be like some farming competition with that. Thanks for the message. -M.
Thumbs up up there and thumbs up here, double thumbs up! Love your work as a farmer and your work as a video content creator. Yes, the real one, not just a youtuber. You're doing a very nice work, kudos!
Hi Michael, I’ll have the weld job up later this week! I’m also looking forward to JB’s interview with an ag pilot. I hope I have time to hang with him around the rice fields. -M.
A backwards chisel, prepping the yard for grass. But no laughing matter :(. 8" that is deep. So why is rain different then the water you get from the thermolito after Bay. Thanks Jb. We're you going to till a second time any way? Glad you make rice and love your videos and the Blancorillio video that brought me here. Loved the live stream the other day. Wear your hat! :)
Looking good ! I would be interested in seeing how that repair is done on the 3 point chisel plow. It was also educational how Pops did the "bunny hop" with farm equipment. I think I counted a total of 3 raindrops that week. Maybe 4.
Great video. Please can you show the repair of the chisel plough taking place. It would be very interesting to see how the steel is cut out and the new piece of steel is welded in place.
hopefully you have some bolts and some kind of spacers to bolt thru the ripped off section so it can be easily rewelded on to the new piece. without any alignment issues. or perhaps the weld repair guy will just add a top and bottom bracket to hold the spacing while reinstalling it..
On our clay soils in Texas, 1 1/2" rain would not even wet the inside of the Montmorillonite clay structure. No need to chisel again. Would need more rain to breakup the clods made by plowing. I had two 11 yd train track rails hooked in tandem to breakup the clods even more and level after disking.
Very interesting, Robert! You must have a real low moisture in the soil already? I mean it sounds like the clods are hard as rocks. We definitely don’t want our soil to dry too much before we get the discs in because they wont break down as well. There’s a balance but for us-1.5” is way too much. -M.
@@Ricefarmingtv Our clay holds lots of water between the clay particle structures. This is why it expands and can hold 3.5 inches per foot. If we air dry the soil we have hydroscopic moisture loss...that is why we no till and strip till. If only we had your water, 17,000 lbs /ac of corn would be the normal with the addition of 20" of irrigation.
@@Ricefarmingtv This area is What is Known as the Western High Plains that starts south of Lubbock TX and goes to the NW corner of Nebraska. It is several hundred miles wide and has the largest fresh water deposit in the US. Billions of acre feet of fossil water has been pumped for irrigation in the last 100 years.
Just wondering if many farmers around you use disk ripper like a caseih 875 or are the conventional chiesel plows better for your soil types..in corn country the disk ripper are pretty popular.
I haven’t seen any around. But it’s possible. We like the chisel plows because they can get a little deeper on the first pass. That helps air out and dry down the soil. -M.
When you crack a 4"x 4" steel tube, that's just nature's way of saying you need to weld in at least a new section of 4" x 6". Or, weld some gusset plates around the failure points.
Great points, Ed! We will certainly be following these tips when repairing the chisel plow. I should have that video up sometime late this week or on Sunday. -M.
I remember him from another episode. After you mentioned checking in with Frankie and Larry, I was like, who is missing? Ah yes, Tristan. I can’t remember how old I am, but I can remember your employees names. I am a weirdo. Keep up the good work!
Great video matthew. Really enjoyed it. Around here an inch pf rain youd be back in the field in a day. Hope it dont delay you very much. Have a quick question, is there any experiements or trials with trying no til rice?
Matt, when did you decide or know that you were gonna become a farmer? Great video keep up the great work! Also, the weld failed due to porosity(pin holes)that you can see all throughout the weld and looked as if it was welded downhill vs uphill a vertical weld is stronger than a downhill weld. Suggest you really clean it up with a grinder and get to good steel then lay some dimes in there to get that man back to full strength.
Sorry. About havig to deal with L.E.1, hope he finds his head. He should look in the rear, just below his back. You can just attatch a chain to the top of the 3 point quickhitch and the square tubing that broke and lift it up to get er home. Tell the guys that pull the wheeled chisel to make a larger headland to turn on, less backing up, time, fuel money.
Hahaha! Late employee number one is still looking. Thank you for the tip about getting the chisel out of the field. A few people have made the same comment. Will do that next time. I hope there’s not a next time. -M.
That’s a better idea! A few people have recommended that strategy rather than pulling the plow out backwards with the tractor. Thanks for the insight. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again but if it does will do it that way. -M.
I have asked Matt that same question. Matt does not hunt. And he does not lease the flooded fall fields to hunters. Once they start flood up for growing rice much of the waterfowl migration in the Pacific Fly is over for the summer. There may be some resident birds, but the bulk of them have headed north for the summer. However, in the fall, once the rice is harvested California, rice farmers are not allowed to burn the rice fields to get rid of the fields of rice straw. They have to disc the fields and flood with water to aid in decomposition of the straw. It's a bunch of extra steps to rid the fields of the rice straw. He has several videos explaining how they prep their fields for winter decomposition. However, those flooded fields are full of rice leftover from harvest. During the fall migration waterfowl love those fields. Look back through Matt's winter video's there are lots of incredible video showing ten's of thousands ducks, and geese. Plus other species of birds that like flooded fields. As a duck hunter myself, it's awesome to see it. Even my dog will watch those videos and get excited. Videos on straw management from the winter harvest 2019 ruclips.net/video/FjNqkkDea34/видео.html ruclips.net/video/5AHIgLvZdzI/видео.html
I don't know your soil but you said you are going to disk the fields so you shouldn't need to plow again. I used to repair equipment for the company I work for and the guys using it where animals with it. You need to use plates to help with more welds not over the same area. Steel will get very hard and will get brittle and break.
Yo, great videos. You have an arsenal of equipment. Question: Why doesn't your farm shine and wax your machines? They cost so damn much money. Don't they deserve some pruning?
Yes! Great advice. Next time will do it Carolina farming style. A couple people have made the same recommendation. I hope the chisel plow doesn’t break again but if it does will do it this way. -M.
Rice Farming TV oh I was just talking about they charge you to cut it and those square tubes come in 20 ft sometimes it's cheaper and less running to the store to buy another piece. No biggie just throwing that out there. Nice video tho. 👍
Oh! I see what you mean. Yeah, Jerry could just cut the big piece back at the farm and we would have the spare for some other project. Yeah that’s a good thought. Next time I’ll have to ask how much the full20 feet is versus cutting a section.

Hey Rice farmer. Why put a short chain round the frame instead of the top link, and connect the lower links and lift back to the yard.
Nice to see someone who clearly loves his work!
Thanks Leo! Hope you enjoy watching.

Metal fatigue and then the repair weld is hard / brittle, both problems are hard to get away from without a lot of extra work. Keep up the great videos.
Hi Paul, we’re going cut out that entire vertical square tubing and replace it with that piece I got at All Metals.
-M.
@@Ricefarmingtv wrote the comment then watched the complete video, A lot of strain at that point of pull. Keep on planting and tilling.
A thought on your broken chisel if this problem happens again. Leave the two link arms hooked up, take the top link off your tractor and put in a chain, and run the chain around the up part of the frame to get it back to the shop.
I have done that a few times..now I check for cracks!

Just asking, no critique here, why did you choose a replacement square tube Vs laminating new metal over the affected area?
I like the mix of serious info but the humor injections...lol

Why didn't you lower the transport wheels, to take back to the shop, and pull back wards?
The benefit from employees who sleep in or don't show up is that they're not breaking equipment. Maybe they should get a bonus for that...
