- I explain all the features of the Lemken Rubin 10 in detail. I show it working down a red clover cover crop and also working in corn stalks. It’s 20’ wide. Pulling it with a John Deere 8320R
We love ours we’ve gotten to single pass and plant with it but it requires 20 hp per ft
Hi, you remember me coming from Germany. That’s German Quality! Lemken builds up the stablest and highest quality machines to move earth in any way, you can buy for money.
You and the next generations will be so happy with this machine. Only thing is to libricate regularly and it will last forever.
Only problem with Discs, but with all Discs: don’t you ever use it for root weed control.
Good to know! Thanks! I am excited to get to use it this coming spring!
Recommend run field at 45 degree angle on the first pass then same way you plant on your final pass
Good to know! Thank you!
These machines do intrigue me. Our Massey disc leaves a lot to be desired ;) I am leaning towards a 13 or 14 ft mounted unit running with 200 Hp. As your soil builds tilth, the tillage implements you use will change.
This year the cover crops got out of hand because of too much rain. The Lemken handled them really well. I just had so much biomass on the surface it was challenging to get things planted.
That opening reveal was EPIC
Thanks! It was a fun video to make!
In EU we use Rubin 10 as follow: here best results are when you drive 14-16km/h, we do at least 2 cross passes! After 14km/h you can see how the soil is mixed with residue. Also the concave disc are from metal "duramax" Lemken patent. The most interesting is that the disk harrow is mixed version it is x-harrow but it is a single disc. Front and rear disc angle of attack is different, to balance the harrow behind the tractor. And Yes, we use wide tyres here in EU.
Thanks for sharing! It has taken me a couple years to figure out how to run it. It’s definitely not as easy to set up as some of the other tillage equipment I am used to. It will plug if there is too much residue but other than that it’s been a great tool.
Gracias, muy interesante
Nice vid! Lotra iron!
Thank you!
I'm just curious whether the moldboard would do a cleaner job in one pass although at a slower pace than the speed disk in two passes. I'm sure you had considered this, maybe the negative effect of the moldboard on the soil structure (i.e., promoting soil erosion)?
Exactly right! I believe strategic shallow tillage is much better for the soil than a moldboard plow. Also as you said, a speed disc is much faster.
Any risk with wind blow do you think from the discs making the soil too fine? Or do you think all the organic material you are mixing in will prevent this? We farm on quite easily worked soils - I have a Rubin coming but wind erosion is my only slight concern. Great video though - appreciated you showing one pass vs two.
We really don’t see wind erosion in our area except for the Amish who fall plow. I’m sure that the roots/organic material do help to keep it from blowing. Thanks for watching! If you have any other questions I’d be happy to help!
These look like a much better design then the Rubin 9.
I looked at a 8 meter (26’) Rubin 9 on a Gigant carrier before I bought this one. I could have made it work for our farm but I am happy with the Rubin 10.
How big of a tractor are you running to handle 20ft?
In the video I’m using our 8320R (320 engine HP) It handled it OK. The next tractor in line is our 9520T which might be overkill but it will definitely handle it better.
@@INOrganicFarmer 9520 be better. Never over kill. Remember speed is needed.
Thanks for the video. Have you run it on bean stubble prior to planting corn? Think it would make a suitable seedbed in one pass?
I haven’t ran it on bean stubble in the spring prior to corn, but I routinely run one pass on bean stubble prior to drilling wheat in the fall and it does a fantastic job. It will turn the field black and does a great job leveling.
Interesting.
What is the horse power requirement for that? The dealer should send someone out to help set it up in the field. It might do a better job as it gets scoured up.
I believe Lemken says 15 HP per ft. In my opinion 18-20 HP per ft. is more realistic. Yes, I agree someone should come help set it up. I bought it from a farmer-dealer. He is also organic and was not done with his field work yet. He may come out this next spring if I have any issues.
Do you experience the links inside the overload springs breaking?
No, I never have. Have you?
@@INOrganicFarmer I have been using the dealer's Rubin 10/600 on really tuff sod for a couple of weeks. A mix of pasture, 20 year old grass fields with some rocks in spots. I have broken at least 6 of those links inside the springs. They seem to bend first and some brake off right away while others after a while. Or the disk just stays up and won't go down. I do love the machine and job it does. In fact I am receiving a brand new Rubin 10/500 next week (been held up in LA port forever). But I'll have a dozen of those links on hand cause it seems to be a week spot. Or maybe its just a disk with millions of acres on it and its just wear and tear.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll be watching mine a little more closely now. I’ve never tried it on pasture ground. Does it work it up good?
How do you like the rubin after some use?
I like it. It does a good job but it does have its limitations. If the cover crops are too tall or too thick it will plug up. Going slower helps, but at that point it’s not much of a “high speed disc”. It can also make it “wash board” if you are trying to burry too much biomass. I am buying a flail mower/stalk chopper for next spring if the cover crops get out of hand again like this spring.
Euro style.
I have one bro.
Awesome! How do you like it?
@@INOrganicFarmer love this rubin disc. yes need 3 pass then seeding, germinating fast than our neighbor the same day planting.
