- Plowing Up a Field of Sod with a John Deere 9620RX Tractor & 10 Bottom Plow
In this video I am out in the field with a John Deere 9620RX Tractor pulling a 10 bottom Deere model 3710 moldboard plow. Details about what's going on are mentioned throughout the video.
Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it.
I love moldboard plowing. I love the seedbed it makes if you plow in the fall and run a field cultivator over it once in the spring. Comes out perfect.
The only thing missing is the smell of the plowed field. Awesome!
It's very relaxing to watch large farm equipment at work. I love the many viewing angles and drone work in your footage. It's amazing how modern agriculture has freed the vast majority of the population from farm work. The equipment is far more powerful and more comfortable than ever before.
It really got me that one person said it was too wet while another said it was too dry. 😂 But I’m with you, better to have too much tractor than too much implement.
One of them was having a giggle I'm sure
What makes me upset is that I wasn't there to see it in person and maybe bribe the operator in to letting me plow a round. Oh well my loss
Not too wet or dry, the roots of the grass is holding the dirt together. They'll need to run a disc over the field asap to help chop it up.
The way you present your content is professional and easy to understand. This video is really worth sharing with everyone.
What beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos.
There's something about mould bord ploughing that's lovely to watch thanks Mike
You can never ever go wrong with moldboard plowing… although it’s getting to be a lost art.. awesome video
Hi Mike! I think the plowing is appropriate for sod. Usually sod is only 1 /12" to 2" thick. So at 3" he is getting most of the sod roots up preventing a large regrowth of it later. I worked on a golf course building it from the start. We hauled 2" rolled sod for the 16 greens. I did that going through college and damn! it was very hard work and heavy stuff. But after the sod was taken the farmer just disced up the ground for a grain crop. And each type of engine makes there own unique sound due to how it was manufactured and the number of cylinders. I do not think the tractor is falling apart lol. I do know that there will be a lot of sod clumps in the field after the discing so they will gradually break down. Keep up the good work!
Looks good to me! So many people today have never plowed and don’t understand what they’re talking about. Most tractors today will never be hooked to a plow. Used to be that when you bought a new tractor that you almost automatically bought a new plow to go with it. Plowing is the second most fun you can have with your clothes on…, chopping corn is the first, most fun you can have 😜!
It's very satisfying seeing the very clear progress !
I’m glad someone thinks it was fun! As a young teen I thought opening a quarter section took forever with a 4020 and 5 bottom mounted plow! I’d have died at that age without the simple pleasures of an umbrella shade and fender mounted radio! 😂😂😂
(Edit: synchro range, 3rd gear, 4mph, open station)
Having plowed thousands of acres myself, I wouldn't be happy with job it's doing. Plow improvements have come a long way, perhaps it's an old plow, but it's not completely turning the furrow over, particularly where he's trying to turn it up hill.
Plough!
Awesome video of a century old practice that has gone by the wayside, using modern equipment! Beautiful outfit. Thank you for bringing it to us.
I love mowboard plowing thanks Mike.
Another great video. You can never have too much power on the farm.
Yep, overkill is underrated 😉
As long as you continue to produce great farming videos, we will get along just fine! Thanks!
I heard that audio was added with a dragster or a tractor pull added in dubbing. Just in case if you were looking for comments.
Diversity in farming techniques is your specialty. That's why I like Mike 👍. Happy subscriber 😊!
Love the old school
moldboard plowing video Mike, we're old school too, even thought it's only food plots it's still fun tractor time, keep em videos coming
Nothing wrong with old school farming.
Nice to see they kept the trees and brush from taking it over while it was in grass!
Moldboarding sod is so satisfying. Love the video!!
To me this is how it’s done I remember my dad running a big case plow an tractor years ago brings back memories
Don't listen to some keyboard farmers, I enjoy seeing the field turning from green to brown😃👍
Nice video again Mike👍👍
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.
Regarding the comments about the size of the tractor. For me it would be a pleasure to plow with an oversize tractor. I grew up plowing and it seemed like we were always struggling to get the most out of the traction and power we had to pull the biggest plow we could. 5-16's on a 4020 in heavy clay was no picnic.
I agree. When I started on the farm in the 1970’s ploughing was a real struggle. The tractors could never cope. We even ploughed with two tractors chained together at times. Nowadays you’re sitting there in comfort, listening to the stereo and letting Mr Autosteer worry about keeping a straight furrow. It’s not even like work anymore!
I have 4 tractors that size
Nothing smaller
People just can't go without complaining about anything and everything! You do awesome work and bring us awesome content full of information and it's very helpful and appreciated for sure! We can't let a few sour people ruin it for the rest
A perfect use of these big 4 track tractor!
Thanks Mike, great video as always.
Hello! Nothing beats a good ploughing scene! Silly comments are just for laughs...
Great video , ploughing videos are a pleasure to watch. Regards from Down Under.
Love your moldboard ploughing videos. In Ireland, its what farmers still do for primary tillage. Minimum till still hasn't taken off yet.
great video - watching from Oregon. Retired grass seed farmer - we had all the large John Deere's - this makes me smile to watch it!
Awesome videos always.
I raked hay once with a John Deere 4850 MFWD with rear duals pulling a New Holland 258 Rolabar rake. All the other tractors were tied up and our raking tractor broke down. I've also seen a neighbor pull a Deere 956 MoCo with a Deere 8650 to mow hay in a pinch. Gotta do what you can to get the work done. Personally, I'd love to plow with a 9620R! Our 9520 gets it done with the 12 bottom Wil-Rich plows though. Great video Mike- thanks for keeping all the armchair farmers in check 😂
Mike love it bro I plowed back in the old days when everybody went no till Monsanto brain washing . I left filter strips and had better weed control . I would plow every 2 years and chisel with spike points between . Cheaper and no chem
I just remember the sweet smell of fresh turned over soil
Hard to comprehend that you'd get such negative comments for the great footage that you post.
As for the comment 'too much tractor for the plough', I think the fact that he covered that large an area in an hour tells its own story.
Unlike we Europeans, American farmers appear to favour higher speed with a smaller implement, rather than dragging a tractor to its knees by loading it with an implement size that continually keeps the tractor near or on its limit. The evidence would suggest that it's an approach that works.
Great drone footage as always, interesting commentary and little in the way of overly intrusive music - the machines provide their own soundtrack 😊
Like to see people still plowing, nice looking tractor and plow.
Most of the comments on how it should or shouldn't be done are by young guys, typically in their teens or very early 20's that learned one way from dad or grandpa and think that it is the only way because they were told it was. I don't listen to any of that noise. I just watch and enjoy.
Great plowing video Mike.
I heard your commentary Mike and it made me smile. I’m in England but just want to say that tractor /plough looked like a good setup to me. It was a pleasure to watch.
I just love seeing the plowing videos, so cool!!
Never too much power especially when you have the means and ability to do that in agriculture.
Back in the day a Farmall Super C and a 2 bottom plow was all we had some people don't have a clue what I'm talking about 😂 great video
And it took a week to plow a decent sized field but hey gotta work with what you have! Always wanted to get into ag but most of the farms close to me won’t hire outside help
Great video Mike Thanks!
Nice job and the tractor sound great👍
That's awesome work now your able to the land for anything needed... thank you for sharing your videos with us...
Keep up the good work Mike, I enjoy it
Enjoy your videos Mike!
Another great video, thanks for this!
This setup is very nice and it’s always a pleasure to watch a good mouldboard plowing video.
Keep on, Mike! I’ll be there!
Greetings from northeastern France!
I really love seeing the ground beinging turned over.
Thanks Mike. Nothing like looking at heavy sod being turned over with plenty of horsepower. Cudos once again.
Thanks for a wonderful video, I wish I can spend time with you in 2024 harvest. I live in bradford Pennsylvania
Mike, another good clear video and thanks for it.
I did tons of plowing as a kid first with a Case 830 & Oliver 3x16" plow, then a MF 1135 & White 6x16". Due to our soil types, we still plow under our sod. Now we use our Fendt 1050 & Kverneland 6300 S 8x14-21" reversible plow.
Sweet video! Plowing is awesome and by far the most fun implement to pull!
Liked the race car sounds. Great video
Haters will hate mate .. love your content
Pretty Badass! Love the sound bytes of the "muscle tractors" lol
great video! really enjoyed it thanks
Overpowered is underrated! The comment section usually brings out the ignorance in people.
Great video, as usual!!!
What a beautiful piece of property! Great video Mike!
Excellent video by you love the channel
Hello from Collinwood Tennessee great video 👍👍👍🙏🏻
I bet that missing sound all but disappears when She gets the load She was designed for. Great videos Brother. Thomas, Mississippi!!
Amazing, the longer since I farmed, the better I was!!!
Sweet tractor and coolvideo.
Always liked plowing. Lot bigger than the old 4020 I used to run. Lol. Really nice lookin setup anyways. The ISX and X15 engines do sound different. You can notice it in the road semis as well.
Mark Keister
I have run these engines over a million miles in several different trucks.
Some of the comments are from people that have no idea what they’re talking about.
Like you said,you do what you gotta do on YOUR property.
looking like a nice bit of soil 😊
Rolling over nicely
Very impressive❤️
This is one of the most satisfying plow videos. That plow is set perfectly making ribbons from one end to the other.
From a British point of view , - Impressive Tractor & Ploughing . Visited Canada a few years back and paid a visit to a John Deere Dealer - Yard as big as Hampshire ! LOL . Thanks for sharing
Awesome video,and anyone over forty watching this that farmed used a moldboard plow.😊
Plowing videos aren’t that common. Ignore the negative comments you do an awesome job with your videos!!
I love your input sir! 😂 And the content. That’s all I wanted to see. You know what they say about opinions… subscribed.
Thanks Mike for your videos I grow up ploughing but it is not so popular now days
I need this guy to rip some very hard CRP acers full of huge ant mounds that comes out of the program this fall!
I like plowing videos 👍👍👍👍👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Really great job plowing
I like Mike less videos on RUclips from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲🇺🇲
I love John deere tractors and equipment in action.
I think it’s doing a great job plowing / Mike ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoy ure videos
Nice video Mike!!! Sad you'll always have the negative Nellies making nasty comments! I've farmed my whole life and people just don't realize that sometimes you just have to turn the ground over. Only question I have is why not corn first then beans because corn usually does better after sod. But I get it , sometimes you just can't do what would be best or what you want.
Yeah, there are some people who are just miserable, and they want everybody else to be as miserable as they are. Don`t pay any attention to them, they will go somewhere else when no one takes the bait. There is just something relaxing about watching tractors plowing fields, especially black dirt and at least half a dozen or more, bottom plows cutting deep furrows and throwing over big dirt. The only thing better, is being there. Thanks for the video.
awesome video.
Another awesome plowin video 👍👍
Looks so good
Arwsome video Mike, it's always pleasing to watch a plowing video, Great work.
Good job guys
I love everything about this except I’m jealous of the grass, we’re in exceptional drought in Eastern Nebraska and our alfalfa and grass looks more closely to the field AFTER it was plowed than before.
Hey Mike you know a couple of old sayings - “ can’t please everyone “. Or “ opinions are like a$$ h@les , everyone has one “
Forget about all those negative comments anyway . They’re not making the payments on this equipment, they aren’t paying for the fuel. they aren’t out there working hard to make a positive living and impact on the world .
Bunch of P - whipped mamma’s little babies .
You are one of the best . Keep doing what you do best .
Great video Mike very nice tractor and plow set up well plenty of horse power doing great work
Mike great video keep them coming!!!
Enjoyed your videos really like breaking land
I would like to see the rest of the process, with the VT being done as well.
Not a bad job, I like it. I would like to see how this arable land will be treated with a cultivator later.
Hey Mike,first time ever praiseing a clip.I just can not for the life of me remember why all this bashing is all about, so this guy has a big green tractor I farm a small feed plot with my 60hp massy , great clips and good content.
🚜
JD farming power machines 💪😎👍
Great video Mike the haters are going hate either way perhaps they should run for congress since they have all of the right answers and fix the worlds problems and not just different regional farming practices
