Nice job, buddy. I worked on the wheat fields for a summer in Western New South Wales, Australia. Long, long rows on an open tractor. 38°c. (100f) Very relaxing, but we had to watch out for sunburn! In those days, I used spring tined harrows.
Great video! Especially love the part about the tripping mechanisms and how they work for you. The perspective of the blade swaps was nice too! Really enjoyed it!
Things change with time. I spent many hours plowing land that looked just like that between Littlefield and Muleshoe back in the early 60s. The John Deere I drove didn't have a heated cab, though; it used canvas to direct the heat from the engine towards the seat. Your video brought back some good memories. Thanks for the ride.
50 years farming in Britain. 3000 acres for 40 years .Mostly JD retired now but used 300hp plus.Born and brought up into it .I can trace my farming roots back 400years both sides. The world over it all looks familiar. The kit makes it easy now in my experience.
Small farmer here in Southern California living the dream. Right on the beach. Although I don’t use tools of this size I will say it’s motivating to see this. I’m just realistic for today I’ll be there one day though. Until then keep the good work coming 🤙🏿
This was oddly entertaining for someone who has never farmed. Didn't realize tractors could double as space ships in regards to the controls you guys have. Impressive.
Over here in Paraguay South America we put a mixture of clay and water in our tires because we have a lot of spikes from the Brushes in our fields. It instantly clogs holes and seals them off nicely.
I never saw a plough like that before. You are new to me. I subbed you because you appear to be interesting and your video work looks good. 480 acres is a big field to an Ontario boy, it's almost five farms here. Good video. Pax.
My grandfather use to plow his fields in February to kill off harmful insect larva from the previous year. This was back in the 1950s and 1960s. I found it a great practice.
Heya im from south africa also farm peanuts cool seeing ur machines definitely gonna sub to ur channel we use an old tractor drawn harvester have a good one
I throughly enjoyed your video. 1st time watching you & I have subscribed. Your equipment , makes mine look like toys, but now at 73 I am retired, and don't have to depend on the income. So, I just farm, for the fun of it, but I have enjoyed you using your massive equipment. The best to you, and your operation.
Looks like the soil in the field you were working varied quite a bit from one end to the other. Also, if your earth engaging replacement edges don’t all come from the same manufacturer, when they get in short supply, you might be more apt to get poor quality parts. Interesting video. Take care.
Great video. Very relaxing. How do you like the plow since you put the extensions on? Also could you maybe show how you do the turn rows when your all done with a field? No one around here plows except to rebuild terraces, I find plowing very interesting
In 95-96 I was hunting on a piece of property one field was 1x2 miles. Back in the day the farmer hooked 2 6 to 8 bottom plows. The moboard pillows were not flippers. Driving the 2 miles in wasn’t to bad. But driving across those furrows was a rough drive.
Have you noticed an increase in productivity by making that plow an 8 bottom now and how do you like it...? How many acres an hour can you now cover as opposed to before you made it an 8 bottom..?
It gave us an extra acre in productivity per hour. We like it as far as being able to cover more acres but it seemed like it did a cleaner job without it. Somehow it pulls behind the tractor at a slightly different angle and I guess it makes a difference
That's not a modern plow, that's a piece of junk and would catch me dead running one. Look up Lemken roll over plows, now those are modern plows. Their biggest one is the Titan 18, 12 bottom plow. Lemken is not the only brand their is many more.
@@conleybanman lol every plow is a moldboard plow. You obviously know nothing about European plows, they have moldboards for every soil condition. Your plow is old made new not modern.
@@conleybanman a quick short video this is the plow I run, this video was last week. I currently got 420hp on it right now. ruclips.net/user/shortsBrvbS7zUB9M?si=rXfL_2JMvHHTpaES
Hi Conley, it’s clearly that they make those blades from a softer metal, I would use one of them blades to make some real metal ones that are much harder to break. I’m not a farmer but I really want to become one
Nice video, writing from Australia, may I ask what you call that machine as to me its not a mould board plough, We direct drill everything in our farming area, so dont have machines like yours here in South Australia.
In south Georgia we have stumps under ground and when you hit one you really knew it. We had a Allis Chalmers three bottom plow with 3/4 inches shearer bolts and when you hit a stump at 5 mph it was a wake up call 😂😂😂
Just wondering are you able to read weldom with a good Machinist I'm from Alaska so when we break things on the boat we have to weld things we can't run to the store when we're 150 miles from Shore
Great video. I am assuming GPS steering? And that is a very different looking plow shape than what I am used to. But broken points, flat tires…farming never changes.
Conley, thanks for your excellent videos. That loose ground looks like easy plowing and I thinking if you added 3 or 4 more bottoms you could turn over more ground in a shorter time.
@@danielclark8036 It would be better to have it balanced with an equal number of bottoms on either side of its hinge point, otherwise an unequal number will increase wear in the hinge area. Also, it could be turned into a pull type, ( trailed ) plow with more bottoms and outrigger, swivelling wheels.
What kind of bottoms are those? Never saw square bottoms. I come from plowing upstate NY in small rocky fields with 3 bottoms on JD 60. No GPS or gizmos, just old farmin' and knowin' nature.
The number of armchair farmers making "I know better than you" comments here is humorous. Some people fail to consider the different crops, locations, and conditions require different techniques in order to farm efficiently and productively. So many people get on a "you must do it this way" bandwagon without fully understanding what they're talking about. Videos about moldboard plowing seem to get this crowd particularly stirred up. I guess they think that farming with chemicals is always better in every situation . . . Nice video here. It's neat seeing how different crops are grown compared to what we raise here on our farm in Kansas.
Doesn’t seem your going as deep as many years ago , probably before your days. Close to no till ? Nice video , good explanations of what your doing .😀👍🏾🇺🇸🚜
Man those stalks are hard on the tires, i see cord showing in that one tire, like you said previously it would have been flailed. I know in Europe they run a flail on the front of the tractor ahead of the plow
You come in about a field a mile long. That’s all we had. You could cut them up a little bit if you wanted into 320 or 160, but the funny part is you’re talking about the length of time to get to the other end I remember as a young boy driving up all Farmall and we pulled a two bottom plow and second gear. It was an hour and 30 minutes round-trip for four bottoms total. If you figure it out on 30 inch rows, then four rows a mile long are right at exactly an acre. That was in north central Illinois where are black gumbo is 8 feet deep. Sometimes we get a black loam, but very seldom see rocks and just a little bit of clay every once in a great while. Didn’t seem long and I was driving our articulating four-wheel-drive with 575 hp, pulling a 10 bottom by 18” moldboard plow, May be old but still memory works good. PS, we never needed Def either. Lol
All those people are out of their minds, and they are not actually looking for alternatives. They just want to cause a crisis in the sector so they have an excuse to nationalize it. Textbook leftist tactic. It's what happened to college, it's what happened to healthcare. By the way i heard that the fda was considering banning the use of manure... During a fertilizer shortage because you know, fossil fuel is used for more than just energy. But is this true? I know that they are doing certain things on purpose, but that would be literally insane.
Do you really think we try to make dust bowls when they destroy our crops. Yea because that’s how we make money is by purposely try to destroy our crop and income 🤦🏼♂️
best wishes to you in Texas hope all is well from a John Deere fan from Ireland quick question is the John Deere tractor rig fitted with Green Star GPS cheers Declan 👍
GEEEEZZZ man. Leave the tractor running while you go look for what? A little black plug. LOL. Didn't your daddy teach you things. Little black plug ain't filling a hole big as a corn stalk. You are young. Keep working on it.. Good luck growing you channel
here in Brazil we don't plow because it's rain a lot in the rain season, we just clean the lands e plow one time to get the woods sticks, rocks, out, and than we direct seed for the next season
I would have loved to apply for that position, but I'm too far away. That is literally the first time that I have seen a cracked windshield on a tractor. Wow.

I love sitting in the tractor day dreaming as I work. City people have no idea how relaxing it is.
Yes
I grew up on a farm in a small town and I would never return. More power to those who enjoy it.
I wish I had family land.
I agree. I remember when I farmed in central Texas from 1960 threw 1985. Night was peaceful on the tractor plowing
True

Thx Conley... I'm having equipment envy brother..
Nice work ! Do you plow most of your farm ground ?

Well that’s the thing we don’t do the turn rows since we don’t plant corner to corner because it’s irrigated we can plow everything we need to
I just LOVE being out there during a nice calming snowfall!
What kind of Plow is that? I like the set up! Looks good brother!
Great video.. so satisfying… great information..
Great plough. You dont see swing ploughs overhere, mostly mounted reversable or semi mounted reversible. 👍
Great work!!!!
Looking good from Tasmania Australia 👍

I like your truck
WHAT ARE PLANNING TO PLANT. WHAT IS THE BRAND NAME OF THAT PLOW. WHAT WAS THE PREVIOUS CROP? WILL THAT PLOW BOTH DIRECTIONS OR ONLY LEFT SIDE?
Conley, thanks for your excellent videos.
That loose ground looks like easy plowing and I thinking if you added 3 or 4 more bottoms you could turn over more ground in a shorter time.
Probably but after 9 bottoms you have to switch to a pull type plow

It may look loose but it’s not,,,, and if you ever run one of those you’d know.
Очень интересный у Вас плуг, без лемехов. И зачем песок пахать? Очень интересно.
why are NOT using regular 16" mold board 16" deep?

Btw dude, how you water these huge fields?
Center pivot irrigation
We had snow a week ago and field work has started here in Northern nv

Used too we went every bit of 18” deep but now only a foot seems like it doesn’t make a difference going that deep
Cold probably plant in that soil directly and it still wont make a difrence

By todays standards that seems like a mighty small rig for that size field.
What is the plow model? That is a lot cooler than the old one we use

I remember the 1951 Ferguson tractor with a 2-12 bottom plow. I was 10 then and it took a long day to plow a 8 acre field.
How does that plow work in clay sod ground ?
👍 nice job. Hi from Russia
Does the tractor maintain you plow lines for you??
Last week I went threw West Texas to Hobbs and I was disappointed in in the Texas crops looked bad from what they use to
here in Brazil we don't plow because it's rain a lot in the rain season, we just clean the lands e plow one time to get the woods sticks, rocks, out, and than we direct seed for the next season
