    I just started watching RUclips farming videos, mostly as a revenge for all the cooking shows my wife watches. We farm in Central MN, 1500 acres 1500 Holsteins. What works in one area of the country may not work in another. The common thread is HARD WORK and dedication. I can appreciate all the work you do in putting out the videos, all the planning and editing. Good Work!

    We switched to all liquid nitrogen this past year and we won’t look back. It’s more of a pain with logistics, but you are really getting what you pay for and know it’s there when you need it, especially with spring rains like we have been having lately. We run 32 on the planter plus an infurrow starter and come back with a side dress bar

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  2 года назад

      I like the idea of 32 on the planter, but it seems like a potential bottleneck in the Spring. I'd rather try spraying some 32 on ahead of the cultivators... that's a whole other can of worms!

    Great work. Andy, I was wondering what equipment you use to film your videos. Cameras, GoPro's, mic's, maybe even some of the editing software and computer? Anyway, I think it would make a cool video for people like me that are trying to upgrade from filming and editing with a phone. It probably wouldn't be a very popular video but it sure would help people like me out. Thanks for sharing great video

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  2 года назад +1

      I would be happy to talk to you about it sometime. I don't think that most of my audience would care too much about what I use. For editing, I have always used Adobe Premiere Pro. I have used a variety of different cameras since I started. I originally used a Sony A6400 and/or a GoPro Hero 8. I also had a DJI Mavic 2 Zoom for drone shots, as well as another GoPro 8 for action shots. I now carry a Sony A7SIII with a 16-35GM lens. I use a DJI Mavic 3 Cine Drone and a Insta360 One X2 for 360 action shots and time lapses. I have always used a Rode VideoMicro Microphone on all of my cameras. I hope this provides some insight!

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to be getting a rode mic. That seems to be what a lot of the farmer/ RUclipsrs use. I'm not really ready to upgrade to several of the bigger cameras and stuff yet, but hopefully soon. I'm more trying to figure out what I need to editing on a computer. I'm not very good with computers lol. But I'm getting better. You just letting me know what you use is what I was hoping for. Thanks again have a great night.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  2 года назад

      It is something that we have discussed. We are just a little hesitant from a reliability standpoint. Most would argue that there is little to no risk of issue, but it is just the thought in the back of your head of replacing an engine that scares you.

  • @lounar482
    @lounar482 2 года назад +2

    So the disk blades are mounted on the same axle which is really hard on the machine when you hit a rock. Most others mount each individual blade or two on its own suspension...works really great to 'give" without having the pressure of a whole gang of blades.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  2 года назад

      You can definitely do some damage with a rock, but you gain more reliability in the long term. We demoed a Deere 2680 High speed disk, and it was having all sorts of issues with the individual blades secured with bushings. I think both styles have their place...

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  2 года назад +1

      You do get better results if you work at an angle. Keep in mind, though, the disks are already working at an angle compared to the tractor, so you accomplish that somewhat even with a parallel pass.

    • @aTrippyFarmer

      No that’s a fair question. High speed tillage is usually down with coulter disks versus vertical tillage with regular disks. Most high speed disks run a packer or round bar basket on the back, and vertical tills run knife edged baskets or round bar. They aren’t that much different.
