I got a 6420 IVT, had it since 2003. 3000 hours on it now. Never had a IVT transmission issue, but for the water pump that cools the transmission. Replaced twice.
@@Matevz96 Well, if it was going to break, 16 years would of been more than enough time, don't you think?????? lol. Long past warrantee. That's why the price of 6000+ hour tractors are so much lower.
@@klugfarmsklug9323 In my experience things rarely break when sitting in shed. I agree that 16 years is pretty long time but you only did 200 hours a year with it. We have 2 JCB Fastracs year 2003 that have 13 000, and 15 000 hours and only serious repair so far, were front differential on both (bit of our fault) and engine rebuild on one. Personally I don't see point in buying a tractor for much less than 1000 hours a year. I rather get contractors to do the job or have some ancient piece of junk to do the work that only takes few hours a year
@@Matevz96 Over the years, i pulled the grain drill with it. Corn planter, 4 & now a 8 row. Pulled in the silage wagons with it, 16ft size, for both haylage & corn silage, raked hay with it, & round baled with it. In the Fall, i put it on a Heston stacker, make like 250 stacks with it every year. Then would finish up with the stalk shredder. I would some times grind feed with it too. I am a small farmer, feed 230 head of fat cattle every year. Have a total of 5 other working farm tractors, so the work load is spread out, between the smallest, 450 farmall prior SM, to a 8320R JD. Thinking of getting a 8400R, so extra person coming to the farm can use it in the Fall to chisel plow, while i combine, pull wagons in with the 8320R, 2, 625 bushel Brent & Parker gravity boxes. I do have a 9500 JD hillside combine. Also have a 750 Meyer vertical beater manure spreader. Never a dull moment here at the farm.
Not gonna lie but I miss the days when you use to feed bales with the loader y'all had way back. Those were cool videos back in the day. Loved that loader.
That's differnt. "Creep auger" never saw one of those before. Neat. Usually ours all go from the bin to the truck. Granted dad got so fed up with the skid steer he was ok getting rid of it when I was like 6.
Ryan, I always see you using the clutch. I know it is force of habit. On IVT if you depress both brake pedals at the same time it acts as an "automatic clutch function". If you still have the tractor you should try it out. Straight out of the manual. If both brake pedals are depressed when driving the tractor, the speed will be reduced or the tractor stops. Thanks to the automatic clutch function, there is no need to depress the clutch pedal when braking. When the brakes are released again, the tractor automatically accelerates up to the speed currently commanded by the hand throttle or accelerator pedal. The higher the engine speed, the greater is the pedal effort required to stop the tractor.
It doesn't look like your hammer mill was doing to good of a job cracking corn. Did you ever look into a roller mill, it might take a little longer to make a batch but it does do a better job on cracking corn
You guys should get an arts-way grinder we have a arts-way PM 35 and it works great for out 450 head of beef cattle I am in love with the thang used to have a grinder about like that one you have and it makes a huge difference the 7600 or 4640 would run the grinder great
Just curious -- why don't you use cattle guards instead of gates? That way, you could simply drive right across the guard without having to fool with opening and shutting a gate.
I drove the same tractor during corn silage whit a 50 kubic feet chained cart on it had no problem at all on the road fully loaded had IVT to what a sweet ride that was everything was so easy to opperate you coud speed up the chain on the cart from the display witch was cool made unloading so mutch faster.
Thanks for sharing, interesting video. Guess I watch enough farming videos, was sent an advertisement for a krone mobile pelletizer, that’s one interesting machine. Stay safe and warm.
@@foxacresfarm7595 well FoxAcresFarm I don't know if that's true because I've ran a bobcat before that didn't have foot controls it was all hand controls so that's why I was asking I don't remember the model number of it though
Ryan the letters behind the numbers like 6m or 6r just show which tractors are more expensive basically. Farther down the alphabet means better options and cost more.
How Farms Work that’s what we got taught in our John Deere Ag tech program. It’s the same through most of the newer John Deere’s. That why anything with e is like “base model”
"660, the number of... The Beast?" Gotta keep those beefers fat and content, you know. Just run that 6R a few more hours to make it perfect. Too bad it costs in excess of $100K.
Do you guys ever hire for some extra help during the spring or summer? I am looking for some extra money and something to help me gain more experience for my farm
Ryan priced out tracks, analyzed designs but did not purchase new. Conclusion was the tracks were about half life... maybe less... depending on future wear n tear.
You would think people would get tired of the "should have bought red" or "should have bought green" remarks. Funny to watch a whole video and that's all you can think to comment, it's exhausting.
It beats the classless morons that repeatedly say you should marry the girl we saw in a video. Obviously Ryan didn't marry her because she liked Ford and red, not GM and green.
Glad to see Travis opinions in the video, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Frozen ground good, mud bad. We sure miss it here mid-Missouri. Three years of mud is no fun
Great video, Ryan. Keep up the good work, and stay dry/stay warm! God bless!
I bought a 6125R a few years ago. The IVT makes it an incredible baling or planting tractor.
I got a 6420 IVT, had it since 2003. 3000 hours on it now. Never had a IVT transmission issue, but for the water pump that cools the transmission. Replaced twice.
You did only 3000 hours in 16 years? No wonder you had no problems you never even used it.

You should get ride of the skid steers and get a 6r for hay moving and bailing
Nice Mill, great way to fill transport and then grind! Love the dogs!

I converted the John Deere hydrolic end to ISO when John Deere did about 30 years ago. It is easy to do and no more adapters!

Most of us still have that same habit with a shuttle shift!

If you plant the jump auger in the spring by fall you could use it to fill the bins
The snow sure accentuates the Deere colour.
Nice big tractor but love the 7600 to .

Rocket looked utterly betrayed lol
"Pick me, pick me! Oh, never mind." Calvin won out this time.
Why is there a nother skid steer at the main farm i saw it at 9:13
whether this season on the farm will also be shown in the same form as the previous one ?
Great Video Ryan
Have Sloan give you a bale spear for the 6195R. you will see hoe handy that tractor can be. I like both. Tractor an skid steer for different jobs.
Ryan buy or lease the 6195r and put triple mowers on it.
You guys should upgrade, thats a great little tractor for a small farm.
What's the capacity of that feeder wagon?
Is that 6r big enough to run light tillage or a decent size grain cart?
Just curious -- why don't you use cattle guards instead of gates? That way, you could simply drive right across the guard without having to fool with opening and shutting a gate.

Are you and your dad helping Travis with the bill on the 76?
Looks like your feeding the wrapped hay, is it extra nice stuff? Could we get better view of it ?
thanks ryan for the sneak peek
How does that WW creep feeder compare to a Aphache?
Do you add any supplement to the corn? Thanks good video
Will be adding 34 baby beef to it. And thank you!
How Farms Work yeah I use to use and even make a 38% all natural supplement
love you guys...im making travis do all the cold work ahahahahahah brotherly love right there
R u goin 2 buy that tractor
The corn didn't look cracked or ground hardly on top of the mill when ya swept it back in, just curious how big screen it has in it?
Awesome video thank you
That was a nice tractor but tires were def set too narrow. Great video!! Hope to see you in Louisville!!
The 6R is a great tractor 👍
Thanks for sharing, interesting video. Guess I watch enough farming videos, was sent an advertisement for a krone mobile pelletizer, that’s one interesting machine. Stay safe and warm.
New sub, found you myself, 👍👌❤🇨🇦
You could have bought a bag of vitamin supplements with molasses in it plus we used to put a bale of soybeans in the crusher to mix in the feed
Ever get the feeling your cows have a cell phone and are subscribed to your channel?
@howfarmswork I never paid attention but does that bobcat skid loader have foot controls for the bucket or is it all hand controls?
D&B Farmdisplays all bobcats are foot controlled
@@foxacresfarm7595 well FoxAcresFarm I don't know if that's true because I've ran a bobcat before that didn't have foot controls it was all hand controls so that's why I was asking I don't remember the model number of it though
They make hand and foot controls. I think his is foot controlled
@@hanksfarmvideos ok thanks I was just wondering thanks for the anwser
Foot and hand
Thanks for the vid Ryan...
Do you own the telaskid?
Job well done !!

Anyone else notice the johndeere skid steer in the back of the machine shed
You guys dont use any kind of pellets with the corn
liked this video Ryan !!! thanks
"660, the number of... The Beast?" Gotta keep those beefers fat and content, you know. Just run that 6R a few more hours to make it perfect. Too bad it costs in excess of $100K.
That was the price Travis was given when he asked what the price was
At that price you are talking about a high hour power shift of some type with no loader.
looks great!!! since were members do we get to know the likeliness of the jcb staying around ;)
That'd be cool.
Zero, better things to spend money on than a $90k skid loader
What size is your JCB? Is it a 2 or a 3?
Couldn't you fill up the big grain cart with cracked corn? It has a cover and an auger and then you'd only need to grind corn once.
Do you guys ever hire for some extra help during the spring or summer? I am looking for some extra money and something to help me gain more experience for my farm
Love the vids
What is the John Deere skid loader sitting in the back in the video at 10:27
I believe Ryan has a few toys laying around that he has yet to make videos of,
It’s not his he is storing it for someone else
Speaking of corn I just got done feeding my steers
Another great vid!
Did anyone see the older John Deere skid loader at 1:41
Do you know if it has the capability of Starfire
Length of Time for this operation was? [cracking corn]
Enjoy Louisville and a Hot Brown from The Brown Hotel!!!
Could that tractor do all the jobs on your farm?
If i remember right the blue holland u had also had IVT
Great program, farming, caring for cattle day and night. Tractor is nice, too bad rice is way up there. Cheers guys for gat content of the real world.
Did you guys buy the JCB?
Yeah, Travis said you broke the 7600.... LOL
did you guys buy the jcb or is it a really long demo? seems like since you guys put new tracks on it it would be something you do if you own it
Ryan priced out tracks, analyzed designs but did not purchase new. Conclusion was the tracks were about half life... maybe less... depending on future wear n tear.
I just got a bill for it
@@HowFarmsWork Good addition, too bad they didn't give to you, been there long enough to be grandfathered in.
Equipment mover? we call it the "wonder weenie" at the farm i work for
Why not fix the gate?
What happened to the 4020
love he movies Ryan Kuster
Did a see another deere
Put a catch latch on it then you can bump with skidded!
It looks like you guys have a John Deere skid steer
Glad I'm not the only one who seen that.
yup saw that to
Saw that also
Thanks
Ryan, are you thinking about buying a sprayer or renting one for spring/summer?
Travis was talking about it
Then you can save on the chemicals by buying at near wholesale prices.
I have been around farms all my life and it seems like you now have to have a massive machine to do the smallest jobs.
Does it do 32k
No, 26
26mph is 40kph
10:07 if only someone prior to you used it just six more hours before you got it, that would have been an interesting readout lol.
Hey Ryan!!
At least it has a bucket
John Deeres sure break down A lot , good thing they are so expensive
Just passed your convoy on I90
Is there a reason you didn't run you corn through the grinder and than into the auger that filled that bin your pulling from
Saludos desde argentina!!!
Great vid ryan who's is the john deere with no cab
Not ours, we’re storing it
Ok are you still thinking of a new combine
Huh, sunroof 🤔 Ryan, if your grandparents were alive today what would be there reaction of today’s farm equipment?
Creepfeeder showing some rust, inevitability.
Sounds like the main bearing is going on the hammers...
I love 6rs

Rocket: "WTF?"
Well yes ..yes I do grind my corn fir calfs..haha
What a crappy deal to get a loader with no attachments!
How do you keep from running over a dog?
He usually stays out of the way or he’s in the cab with me
No way in hell would I be Travis cleaning while you sit in the cab and accidentally engage the pto.
John Deere and there non compatible loader accessories to skidlaoder quick attach is a big downfall
You can buy just about any JD loader with a SS quick attach.
Good vid as always,
Could you use 6 195 as JD promotes. 🚜
👍👍
Please quit scaring Rocket! His hair is turning white!!! 😏
