I like watching moldboard plowing . Most farmers around here (SW Minnesota) don’t. plow anymore either. It’s good for weed control but bad for wind & water errosion ! Enjoy watching everything you do on your farm. Until next video, God’s blessings.
Yep that plow will turn some dirt for sure. Got the right Green JD Horsepower too. I would just love to sit in that seat for an hour or two to bring back childhood memories. We had a 4010 and a five bottom plow. I would sit on wheel fender all day when I was six. Be safe ...
Kip , you guys are are waking that farm up from winter . That’s a great idea dragging your hay fields it’s just like mowing your grass for the first time after winter it stimulates and starts it’s growth .
One thing's for sure Kip, you've got plenty of power to pull that eight bottom plow! Nice video. Happy to hear your niece is doing better. That's what it's really all about. God bless your efforts....
I love your video. I’m originally from Illinois now a transplant in California! I miss working the fields! Your farm and place looks good. Beautiful rigs! Enjoy your life Brother. Lifetime FFA Members...
My favorite field work activety of all time is moldboard plowing , but kinda like me it got outdated but turning under all that manure and rolling over the beautiful flat ground can't be a bad thing , especially if you can do it in style like that !!! Not sure why those chain link harrows aren't more popular but they are perfect for that job of dethatching and spreading out the clumps !! Hope your niece keeps improving , being young and strong she'll bounce back quick !!!
Enjoyed watching in these hard times its a bit of relaxing and not thinking about prices dropped down and so on glad youre niece is doing better keep them coming greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Enjoyed the plow action and especially liked the "thatcher" rig. Dad used to go over all his alfalfa fields with a tool he called a "skew treader' IT WAS 14 FEET WIDE AND SET UP LIKE A DISC EXCEPT IT HAD SPIKED CIRCULAR WHEELS IN PLACE OF DISCS. DID A GREAT JOB TAKING OUT GRASSES AND STUFF. WOW LONG AGO BACK IN THE 1960'S WHEN I USED TO PULL IT WITH A 620 JOHN DEERE. oops sorry for caps
Funny how the newspaper you use in the parlor ends up on your Thatcher like that. I don't know how long ago it was spread on but you would think it would have dissolved by now. Back when I was a kid we cut a apple tree down and dragged it around to get rid of the clumps.God bless your niece and the rest of the family.
We run a 9 bottom johndeere plow. We use it to fill in ruts and ditches from water runoff. We use it to make waterways and terraces. How is your family doing ? Hopefully everyone is healthy. That virus is getting worse in our area of southern michigan. We plan on planting corn next week on a test plot where the ground is ready. But we might go full out and start planting and fertilizing and spraying roundup for burning down weeds. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !
Hey man enjoying all the videos I wrote on hear a few days ago about how I used to farm with my step dad and after he retired we only did hay and sold it well recently he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and then jst recently had some problems with his heart so now hes in the hospital and it's not looking good at all I ask if it familey could say some prayers srry jst hurting right now and scared ur videos bring back mameroise of days on the farm and I love it actually went and walked around old milk barn last night thinking of the God days so pleas jst keep the videos coming pleas and one day I'd like to come help u on ur farm man for free jst to bring back the memories man rha is again uve put some good memories back in my head
No problem, stay positive ... life can really hurt sometimes...I know too... in the end you’ve got them memories....that’s all any of us can hope for.. cry it out sounds weird but I’ve done it and it actually can help you feel better. Start reading at night or early morning and write things down that’s what I did
You know the best thing besides your great video's is you taking the time to reply to each comment with a simple thank you, I think that's awesome...do you need any help with some field work I would do it for free I live in Indiana
Beautiful movie. Large tractor for ploughs and performs well I see. With us up to 100km the power of the tractor takes 5-6 ski slopes, and then complain that the tractor has failures. Cool videos you insert :). Yours from Poland :) Welcome to your channel :)
@@KipSieglerFarming1 This plow after corn is what class of land is it? Because you are probably good lands, with me in the area up to 200km ground class 4-6. With us, the drought now 2 weeks and the grain is slowly growing and the grass is nothing because the rain needs.
Like you say Kip, get these field chores done when you can, sometimes the window of opportunity is to blasted short to get more than one aspect done at a time. Spring time keeps everyone on their toes. Sorry you lost the 50 bucks on those tires😋. Prayers for you and your family, and a couple extra for McKayla.
"Hey Guuuuys, welcome back to the channel!" - signs of a great video. Wonder if you could go into details next time of how moldboard plow works, dead furrow, the pattern one has to plow in, etc. Keep up the good work!
I farmed in central Minnesota on heavy ground. I liked to chisel my soybean and small grain, and, plow the corn and alfalfa. I liked to turn that last growth of alfalfa down as green manure. Here where we have late springs, plowing does two things, if the soil is heavy, it helps for it to go through a freeze thaw cycle, and, that black ground warms up a whole lot faster in the spring. I used to pull a 3-18 White with auto reset, behind a 4020 diesel, i maybe could have pulled 4-16's , but, i liked the 3-18 better.
We use a 5 furrow Kverneland pulled but our JD 6170R on all our corn ground in the fall in Dublin, Ontario. Love sitting in the tractor plowing! Awesome videos
With our soil in NE WI, we always moldboard plowed the sod fields. It just did a better job and we had fewer trips across the field to work it up for corn.
Good god the amount of milk and ice cream I drink and dairy products I eat would support a small dairy farm. Also I really like dragging the fields in the spring. Gives the grass a lot less resistance to poke up threw that tick thatch in the spring and not burn up all of its stored sugar in the roots
Looks like you chopped this field and spread manure on it. Always loved the smell of fresh plowed ground. How deep are you plowing and what size bottoms? Breaking up that winter thatch should really bring your hay field to life. Nice video. God Bless and have a great 2020.
Grew up on a farm in Norway, a bit more hilly than yours... We used a reversible moldboard plow, think 4 bottom. Used a JD 4050 to pull it. Guessing that one is way overkill for an 8 bottom?
Hallo Sig this is the first time that i see this type of duals mounts(front) on an american john deere tractor . Mostly you see axel mounts on american tractors. Can you explain ?
That's a lot of tractor for an 8 bottom plow! It wasn't just turning it over, it was flinging it over! Hook that tractor up to a 16 bottom plow and make it work! :) Was your dad trying to do one of his famous burnouts with the tractor??? lol
Hi hope you don’t mind me asking but I am a new to your channel and it say Michigan on it are you farming in Michigan?? I am from Michigan also I work at a small local grain elevator and love seeing all the farm equipment and being able to drive all the different machines. Definitely like your video definitely going to be watching more
I'm curious to know why you think less farmers are using mold board plowing as a strategy anymore. Do you think its due to the high horsepower requirement, the ability to work faster/cover more ground with other implements or just the fact that the technology has changed through items like VT and speed discs?
Kik I'm fairly new to your channel. Your videos are impressive. I remember when I was a kid we'd have 5 or 6 tractors plowing. Pulled around a 1000 gallon fuel tank. All the neighbors were plowing too. Then it seems like chisel plowing took over overnight. Hey, what's up with your neice?
Thank you👍 11 yr old niece had bad accident, 6 week coma come out of it. At a rehabilitation center relearning every thing. Slow go but we know she can do it. Had her in beginning of the kids feeding calves Video two wks before the accident

Thanks Ron 👍👍
Have you ever tried experimenting with cover crops? Maybe plant then after corn silage?
Yeah we usually do oats works well
What is the best mix of seed to plant for haylage to feed milk cows
Looks like you chopped this field and spread manure on it. Always loved the smell of fresh plowed ground. How deep are you plowing and what size bottoms? Breaking up that winter thatch should really bring your hay field to life. Nice video. God Bless and have a great 2020.

More traction and they like how it looks 👍
Hallo Sig this is the first time that i see this type of duals mounts(front) on an american john deere tractor . Mostly you see axel mounts on american tractors. Can you explain ?
Not sure, that’s how it came 👍
Count on the Prayers brother. In Jesus Name
🙏🙏
What does it have for bottoms? Like 14-16or 18 inche bottoms
18 bottoms 👍

Yeah he was lol!!!!
Do a video on the white tractor
Look back a couple videos on channel I did one on that white👍
New to your channel. How many acres you grow crop and how many dairy cows you keep?
Milk around 150 farm about 1700👍👍
How long do you keep your cows?
As long as they’re healthy and get bred, some are 10
Why not some No Till ? Is it just too wet ?
Hi hope you don’t mind me asking but I am a new to your channel and it say Michigan on it are you farming in Michigan??

Imlay city 👍
Y'all should have kept both plows and hooked them together to help you cover ground more efficiently.
🤠👍👍
Is that aluminduty a two tone paint job? That color looked awesome! Praying for your niece and family!
Thanks 🙏, yes someone backed in to it, dad got it two toned only one like it

Do you think its due to the high horsepower requirement, the ability to work faster/cover more ground with other implements or just the fact that the technology has changed through items like VT and speed discs?
I think it’s the things you mentioned and all the no till drills they have now
Why is moldboard plowing not as prevalent anymore?

What part of Michigan are you in? I'm also a Michigan boy.
Imlay city 👍
That is a very beautiful setup!!!! How fast was he going!!!!!!!
Pretty fast!!!👍
Where in michigan ya at? My family owns a small cattle farm in East Jordan
Kips dad I don’t know how much HP I’m going to need but ik how much I’m going to use lol 😂 bad ass you guys
🤠👍🇺🇸
8 by 20” ?
I think so yes 👍🤠
How much HP is that tractor? It looks to have a lot of Hp, we put 8bottom reversible plows on 200Hp tractors in big clay soils
Yeah we’re way over powered
Dairy Farming With Kip Siegler 200Hp would be already enough for that, even 160/170Hp is already enough for it
Plows ain’t cheap when we go to look for one we plow with two 6 bottom plows
dam no prob big green not even blowing coal lol
Plowing is cool. Need soil tests.
hello kip siegler .
what music title is the intro music .when the video starting ?

Are you worried about the projected milk prices coming?
Yes very, but trying not to dwell on it. Find other ways to make money 👍
The funny thing is it snowed today near Mayville 😂
Here too!!
It's very impressive but I think I would have got a can of green paint for the PLOW .LO.L
👍👍🤠
Hey do you like working with the cows better or do you prefer field work more? If you had a choice...thanks great vid
I’m pretty much with the cows and I guess I do like it better
