    That is an interesting piece of equipment. Question, when a potato vine starts blooming, is it time to dig them? They were planted at the end of March.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  2 месяца назад +1

      When they are blooming the potatoes will be very small. Usually when the vines start to die naturally that’s when you dig them to get big potatoes. But some people dig early to keep the size smaller.

    Why don’t all potato farmers use this piece of equipment ? And where do all the potatoes come from for seed????

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  Месяц назад

      Most potato farmers use a variation of this. Seed potatoes have to be grown in an isolated place away from other crops that could spread diseases.

    Thanks for showing the manure water system! How bad is the oder? Does the smell linger on? Can this completely replace other fertilizer inputs?
    Thanks

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  2 месяца назад

      It smells really bad. You can smell it from a mile away when it’s going through the pivot. It doesn’t have much fertilizer value but when we put on solid manure we don’t have to spread commercial fertilizer

    That shop looks small now that your equipment is getting bigger. I'm sure when it was built that it looked big with the equipment that you had and it has been fine for many years. Any plans on updating the shop to a bigger one to fit bigger equipment?

    Good lord why so much tire pressure? 20 pounds is the right amount according to the chart. You gonna fell like you’re riding a basketball. I run 18 in the back and front on Michelins.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer
      @RockyMountainFarmer  2 месяца назад

      Well, there’s six different brands of tires on this tractor and they all have different pressures. Some say 45 some say 55 I went with 35 on the low end.

    Do you eat potatoes?

    • @RockyMountainFarmer

      I eat potatoes all the time. Growing up I would eat potatoes 3 to 4 days a week. They’re delicious and you can cook them in so many different ways.

    • @RockyMountainFarmer

      We have some fields with pretty big hills that the front tractor tires come off the ground.

    • @eatingamandarin
      @eatingamandarin Месяц назад

      Eric.
      Hills are a necessary evil.
      Necessary to shed excessive water during major rain events, with the furrows draining runoff out of the crop and off the field.
      In regions of low in-crop rainfall or low harvest rainfall, hill serve little/no purpose other than to prevent greening.
