See a fleet of John Deere 4wd tractors planting the 2018 corn crop. This Big Tractor Power video will show four John Deere 4wds make their last pass in the field, fold up for transport and move down the road. This video features a pair of John Deere 9410R 4wds on triple tires with Chem Farm saddle tanks and John Deere 1775NT high speed corn planters. You will also see John Deere 9220 and 9410R 4wds on Landoll tillage implements.
That's modern farming I guess but it sure makes it tough on the small town business's and local schools and churches to keep going.Better to have 20 families farming 600 acres each instead of 2 farming 6000 each.
North Dakota yes and no. You cant raise a family on 600 acres of rented ground. And with the generations turning over the ground to the next they dont want to farm it, just lease and cash checks. Gotta get big of your gonna do it for the long haul, its all about numbers. If you own (paid off) 400 acres its creates the same revenue as renting a 1000. Its a shame but its How the world works
Tim Westendorf no.......600 acres at 105 an acre is 63000 + or- for 100 ish days of work that plenty for 2 heads of the house. The problem is people but all new everything, and no off season hustle. Just sitting .
I hand planted rice (which I'll never do again) 73 acres of rice and made 29k. If I listen to everyone about renting or buying implements I would be in debt .........or just break even. Even after the 21 day rental of a combine and land rentals I walked away with 21395.81 that included the drying.
The complaint of "There ain't no money" comes from people wanting to be ..................not lazy the word......but ...... convenient . And not wanting to do research to improve.My 2 cents .
Look at what Cuba and nigeria a China there yeild are less, but comparable and they don't have half the equipment..
Adrian Brent a family in todays market would have a rough time living off of 600 acres "rented ground", now with the money you made did that pay rent or make a ground payment? Just curious, in central illinois cash rent is fairly high and most tenants want thier money by March 1st, so if you dont have the capital you gotta borrow and pay interest on the loan all season till you sell crop to pay it back, did you have crop insurance? Equipment costs? What will you do on a bad year? Can you afford a year without money? Not trying to be a dick but i deal with this every day its what i do for a living. Almost every farmer that owns less than he rents on 500 acres farm has another job, or is diversified in another way.
Tim Westendorf well I'm in Mississippi and rent in the delta is 103 and acre , but in the gulf area (Simpson county) it's cheap ........cheaper it's 38 dollars for a cleared acre. And we often don't have water to pay from the many river, although pumping it's does take diesel or gas or propane or whatever, but I don't have too.
On my small from (which is tiny compared to 600 acres) is 49 acres and I rent 57, so 108 acres of production .
Two years ago was my first rice after switching from melon. And on my land I run sheep after harvest.
No I avoid debt like the plague and I do off season trucking so I understand money woes and a second job. But I think the problem and the problem with most rancher/farmers is efficiency, stop buying new machines and mortgaging your land for season startup cost. Tell the owner of the land lease a percentage of harvest versus a loan.
Again I don't know Illinois at all, and it might be screw off give me cash first, but even so 600 acres rented at 100+ is still profitable at double crop soy, and corn.
I rent a combine at harvest (which i understand in a bigger market might be very risky )and have hand Labour for planting melon. And a rice tender for seedling which is diesel powered transplanter for rice . And a stihl ag sprayer for fungicide and pesticide use(2700) use, and goat and chicken And fish emulsions for fertiliser.
But you see what I did.......i did why I don't care for people complaints on larger farm.
I didn't spray on my seed with a pilot, I didn't buy any fertilisers, and I saved money renting land and a combine, for the whole 3 weeks out of 52 years.
Yes my yield was less than desired but i made cash by not buying a ton of gear and implements. And loans expenses
Expenses
Labor (me) free
Sprayer and fungicide $3500
Manure 400ish......i feed the chickens so it wasn't free.
Combine rental 1500 a week so 3 grand.
The most expensive thing was the fungicide to prevent rust and orange blight from the stream water vs pump irrigation.
I'm not bragging and I really couldn't doing it for less then 3 years , but if been profitable all 3 years avoiding farm "we need it" pitfalls
Keep it simple if its to expensive up there go to Michigan or down south .
Adrian Brent cash rent of $300+ per acre in central il black dirt. Average acer run $12,000 at auction. Combine rental is $25,000 a year if you use ot or not. Im not saying you cant make money where you at, but in the central plains if you dont own the ground it can be very tough to make a living, without be diversified
Massive combination and great video!!
Shame most of the corn goes for ethanol ,farmers should be growing food not fuel
sorry but most should be going as food ,in the near future this planet needs to produce ten fold what we are now ,but i guess profit is more important than food
@@martinjeffery3590 So why do we need more corn now there isn't a shortage and barely pays farmers.
@@working2bselfsufficient724 The point i was making is that valuable land and resources are being used up producing ethanol instead of food ,there may not be a shortage but its going to the wrong places
Government studies have shown that given the current rise in global populations ,every acre of land will have to produce ten times what it is now to feed every one ,so resources will have to be used properly and not for pure greed and profit
@@martinjeffery3590 When corn is needed the price will reflect that and ethenol won't pay as much and that corn will go to growing more food when and as needed. Isn't hard to understand markets.
The land is not being "used up", better methods every year produce a little bit more on average anyways. If we run short on food it'll go where it's needed when the time comes. Stop with the documentaries made by people that don't farm. Leave farmers alone and we'll always have plenty, just like we do now.
What about the people that are driving the tractors ? Are the hired ? Family based ? Only working in summer ? How is the job done in US ?
Good question. It is a mix of each here. Family and hired workers.
Whau much is pain for that job
This is beatiful
What is the tanker hauling
something non hazardous without placards on roadways lol. It is starter fertilizer direct injected from the planters.
Oh that was good! Broadcast it in our big screen fora change - thought I was out there with them!. Like the empathy for the subject. I noted that the drivers are NOT youngsters! - old man's game still? and the operators seemed to spend considerable time screwed around watching the machines - thought it would be all eyes on screens job! Having done a lot of this type of work in the past, I understand what it's all about - just the SCALE of it - something else in itself! ... and they sow(u Plant) ACROSS the cultivated ridges - and not a Hop n Bounce to be seen! Marvellous! Thanks for taking this to our armchairs!
Thank you for watching. That is cool that you are watching BTP on TV. The computers and gps make the operation of farm machines very efficient. It also allows the operator to focus on the planter and keep an eye on field conditions.
When I became old enough to go out to the field with my father, he was planting corn with a two row planter pulled by a model H John Deere. If only he could see these monsters!
I know it's pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Kayden Aaron try flixzone. You can find it by googling =)
@Carl Gunner Yup, I've been watching on FlixZone for months myself :)
@Carl Gunner thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!
@Kayden Aaron Happy to help xD
Why are they running scrubbers behind the vertical tillage tool? There is already a double basket in the back of it. And what kind of seed tender are they using to fill those big planters?
Just extra smoothing and firming of the seedbed. Most farms in the area run a crumbled or rolling basket on the back of their VT. I think the farm uses an Unverfeth seed tender.
Where in Western Kentucky has it been dry enough to plant this year? Seems to rain every 5 days.
Hopkinsville to Bowling Green. Everyone is running wide-open
what percentage would you think in America, that farmers would use their own gear for getting the crops instead of using contractors
colin arnold 75%,and probably higher. Only custom work in our area is chopping haylage or silage
Only custom work done is chopping, harvesting, and haylage
Another great video thank you very much 🇬🇧
Thank you for watching. It is fun to get to be in the field with big tractors like these and share them.

I've been watching railfanning videos for a long time now, and just found these Big Tractor Power videos. They're more interesting in that not only can you see powerful equipment on the move, then you get to see the implements they pull doing fascinating things.
Is "ag-fanning" a term that has been used before?
Is this some of the land that Bill Gates owns.
Hi, I'm from NZ, what is the advantage of using 12 wheels on these tractors, insead of 8
I have heard the big fatter tires on a 8 tire setup (duals) would cost around $2500-$3000 each whereas the skinnier tires in the 12 tire setup (triples) cost around $1500 each. So 12 = $18,000 vs 8 = $20,000-24,000.
Is there also the advantage of EXTRA WEIGHT from the 8 steel components instead of 6. No use floating on the surface trash. etc..
The triple tires are less expensive than large flotation duals. The triple tires in this case of planting reduce compaction of the soil and allow the tires to run between where the 30 inch rows of corn are being planted.
what are the discs used for, in the first part of thr video it apeared to be a notill feild.
This farm rips all three ground in the fall. On bean ground they no till Over it in the spring. On corn on corn they till it up. The Landolls were in the next field over working and finished and pulled out through the Bean ground. It made for great footage.
could you please let us know which 6R is shown in this video? Thank you! :)
It is a 6175R
thanks! haha this is funny, we currently got a 6175R as a demo tractor on the farm here in germany. :D
Must of done this for the camera only ah? Because none of them were done! This is nothing new here in Southern Manitoba, tons of very large Farmers!
This was not staged. I filmed the machines just the way they work every day. I just stand and film as they are.
Good stuff, as always.
Dank Cummins m
I started planting with a 2 row planter and a 135 massey Ferguson tractor
I believe this is a multi generation operation and probably own a large amount of ground they farm.
Great video as always👍
Thank you for watching.
How many acres of corn and soybeans does that farm plant a year with those tractors and planters
That’s my farther in the semi behind them
Very cool.
Neat are they in Christian County too?
Awesome Video I Loved!!
It is fun seeing all these big machines at work.
That’s a lot of weight going across that field!
I'm a non-farmer who lives in farming country and I appreciate the work farmers do. With the continued size increase of equipment, is there a point where on-road transport becomes a safety concern? I am always mindful of large equipment on the roads and I provide room where I can but there have been times where I've almost had to pull my car in the ditch when meeting a tractor and towed equipment.
That is a good question. Farm machines have doubled in size in my lifetime. Is their a size limit? I am not sure. In the future machines may need to find a way to fold up different or be disassembled to move from field to field. In 1975 John Deere’s biggest 4wd was 225 hp by 1995 225 hp was John Deere’s biggest row crop tractor and today 225 hp is a mid range utility/row crop model. I have a friend who remembers his grandfather getting an International 503 combine with a 6 row corn head and it was the first 6 row harvester in the county and all the area farmers thought it was too big and no combine would ever be bigger. Now 12 and 16 row combines are the norm in that area. At some point you would have to think there would be a limit but we have not found it yet.
Great video!!! Really liked seeing the whole convoy rolling down the road!!! What was the extra nurse tank hooked to the tractor used for? Pretty sure the semi tank had the starter fertilizer in it. Didn’t know if they were running a different chemical in that tank. Thanks again for the great videos. Keep up the good work.
I will have a separate video on all the tanks showing a full up. The silver tanks and the nurse wagon have nitrogen. The yellow tank in the planter carries starter fertilizer.
Still snow on ground in Wisconsin as of April 21
It’s a long winter. It had snowed here in Kentucky three times during corn planting. Some years all the corn would be in the ground here by April 1. It’s a slow go.
John Doe that reminds me, a AO Smith harvester salmon said about 40 years ago. Wisconsin has 9 months of winter and 3 months of poor sledding. Thought that was funny, back then.
Harvester salesman.
Totally one of the best😎
IF TWO PLANTERS ARE PLANTING THE SAME FIELD BY GPS HOW DO THE OTHER PLANTER KNOW WHERE TO PLANT OR DOES THE COMPUTERS WORK TOGETHER TO SHOW WHERE EACH ONE HAVE BEEN?
Yes the gps in the tractors maps the progress in the field and the operators can easily where their counterpart has been. It’s impressive to see how a accurate it is. One tractor can stop I. The field and head to the truck to refill and gps will take the other tractor right to where the first left off and drop in the pass and start seeding with out a gap.
If these guys are contractors what would they charge for discing, tilthing and planting an acre of corn? And who typically buys the seed?
This is a family farm. They farm their own land.
I'm surprised they'd still be running that 9220 with the other nearly brand new quipment.
They have a mix of tractors for different jobs.
Thank you BTP for video nice to see big tractors in the field working doing spring work.
Thank you.
DB markers?
Amazing . Is this a farmer or a custom-worker?
Pretty sure he just pressed H
Sirisma if only it was that easy
Sirisma What does that mean ?
@@jackybruckers They were referring to a Video game called "Farming Simulator", I believe.
@@christisking7773 👍👍
all that corn, hmm is it being grown for the local Kentucky moonshine business?
The corn in this area goes to a local ethanol plant and to Jack Daniels in Nashville, TN. So yes it does end up as alcohol in one form or another.
What row spacing do you use in the us? It looks much narrower than 75cm (2’6’’) which is the standard here in europe
Most farms here including this one plant corn on 30 inch spacing. Some farms plant 22 inch rows. Some dairy farms plant 15 inch rows increase silage tons.
15 20 30 40 and a couple between 30 and 40 in. rows are used around the us depending on what crop
Is that Arnold farms
Yes
Desenho animado
In Kentucky corn is seeded already ?
Yes corn planting started back on March 17.
I come from Germany and there the corn is seeded from mid of May to begin of june
That is a key seeding time in much of the Northern United States as well.
Okay
sackl zement it can depend though, in my area of western Kentucky (with heavier clay base soils) fields in March are still pretty wet and cold. So with our area full of low lying early season wet ground we typically start around May 1st. Sometimes mid April if we are very lucky weather wise
Do you have a video of this farm's grain system?
Yes. Stay tuned for a video in February 2019. I just need to film it being emptied.
What fertiliser are they putting in with the seeds
Albertus Mostert probably some type of starter fertilizer
they take the whole road to travel?? small roads.
A truck runs ahead to flag the road for traffic.
Nice setup. Must be a rich farmer. Only Hard work gets you there.
Mackenzie owen Don't perceive a bunch of leased and highly financed equipment as wealth, these BTO usually have their spouses working to provide health insurance and grocery money while they play big shot for the rubes
RJ 1999 Yes lol. So true RJ. Just a money scam. Sad isn't it?
Mackenzie owen it is when the public watches this and think farmers are so wealthy, when in reality the majority of these BTO are bankrupt, or near it.
RJ 1999 Its these equipment manufacters. They build bigger machines just so they can sell it for more. Dang rip offs!
RJ 1999 yea, then you get those landlords that ask you why you don't run all new equipment like the guy who tried to out bid you on the rent
remarkable
Massive machinery
It can cover a bunch of ground in a hurry.
Its not a fleet its a convoy
👍
Starter in the Tanks.
Nitrogen. The planter is set up to side dress nitrogen next to the row. There is starter in the poly tank on the planter.
Is this double M farms?
This farm is connected to Double M but is about an hour west.
bigtractorpower so Arnold’s? I know double m is Arnold’s like subsidy I guess you would call it they all have the same trucks then
Yes.
So this is Kentucky??
Yes it is. About an hour from Nashville,TN.
guess down there pulaski co. way.
Great vid! I enjoy seeing equipmemt on the move
It is neat to see. Thank you for watching.
Big business and the little farmers are going away. Monsanto corn crap.
prepare for the grand solar minimum, you may have to move your planting into greenhouses... research the grand solar minimum, its right on schedule
They need to turn horse power up !!! Lol
In my future video on the 9410Rs and 1775NT planters shown in this video you will see they need every bit of their horse power to climb some hills in the field while planting.
bigtractorpower that is your opinion it does not take 400 hr to pull planter over kill
Rusty Simms we need 740hp we chipped our 580 quadtrack because the hills and the massive drill it’s pulling but these fields look really flat witch seem nice
Nick Allan no way 24 row planter will Not pull.that hard 335 front wheel assist that we use .
Yeah rusty knows!! He’s got a 4 row so just listen to him yo
Feeling happy to hear the sounds of spring. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you for watching.

Corporate farmers. 🙄. I’m a 5th generation small family farmer. It makes it hard on us but we survive 💪🏼👏🏼
This is not a corporate farm.
