Thanks from a UK arable farmer just north of London. All our land was cleared by ancient man by flint head axes! So nobody has any new ground to break. When I was younger in the 1980s, I spent time in Zimbabwe, southern Africa and saw land still being "stumped" with the timber saved to burn to make steam to condition tobacco. Your job reminded me of that, except it was +35C and humid at Christmas!
The 325 really rolls the dirt. "I wish the front gang blades were as good as the rear gang", just like the D8, anything is possible, it just takes more money! BUT, more money is getting harder to come by, especially when Trudeau is upping the carbon tax! Time to dump that bugger.
G day fellows Yes carbon tax right now has to go! But Wayne aren't u American U don;t need to pay < Do U? Ths Tyson If that snow comes to Ont Iwill stop watching! LOL Ths good luck
@ Hello Don! No carbon tax in the States but I love to travel in Canada but Trudeau has made life rough for all my Canadian friends and that is frustrating to me.
We stopped picking many roots on new breaking. First year broadcast seed and fertiliser .Disk id in with a light disk. Run land roller to pack. Use heavy disk in fall. Don't deep till for at least three years.
Kind of like working breaking with a little frost. Holds those sticks in place better for the disc to cut them. Sure got warm today, lost all of the frost we did have, ice melted off the dugouts, wind is still strong tonight though. Hope it freezes down for the weekend. The plan is to wean and ship out the big steers.
It's funny to me because when I was growing up on my grandfather's farm, he would never do any tillage while snow was on the ground. I questioned him about this and he told me that turning the snow in would sour the soil. I guess that was an old time myth.
@Northern_Farmer If there was even a skif of snow, he wouldn't sink a disc or plow into the soil. Like I said, it may have been something passed down to him and he was passing it on to me, but he was very adamant about not turning it under. This is the same man that would not fix the headlights on our tractors because he said when it gets dark it's time to quit and we would start fresh the next morning. He had a lot of old time practices that he believed in and it always seemed to work out for us.

Disc doing a great job Tyson and old Smokey 2
Glad to see you still working hard. Hope the cows are fat and happy!
Just finished hauling them all back home
Looking good Tyson. I hope you can get more tillage done before real winter arrives up there.
Agree
Those power rock rakes are good for gathering up roots, sticks n rocks plus levelling the turf
Yea almost better off having one of those
Wow, thats the real work.
Respect.
Nice job on that breaking!!
@@juliusglorieux8338 thanks
Glad you are doing well
@@randybedker1584 thanks

Well at least when you discing snow you know where you been
@@glennschlorf1285 haha
I’m 77 can run Half mile not getting puffed up it’s hot here not like your in snow cheers from Bundaberg Australia
I'm looking at a 325 kello bilt myself. You think a 245 magnum would pull it nice ??
What size...this one is 12ft...I think the 245 would have no problem pulling that
@Northern_Farmer nice. Yeah I was looking at a 12 footer
@buckshotbuck23 it pulls pretty hard but that tractor should be fine
We stopped picking many roots on new breaking. First year broadcast seed and fertiliser .Disk id in with a light disk. Run land roller to pack. Use heavy disk in fall. Don't deep till for at least three years.
I was thinking of that to
That looked good discing in the snow. Do you need new blades on the front gangs?
Not yet
How many tractors Do You have now total running and not running?
I think 12
Good stuff.
I love that kello disc
@colingunn4822 it works great
Looks good Tyson. Any issues with the heated steering wheel or heated seat? Take care.
@@condod414 works great...toasty warm lol

Did you get the new to you tractor?
@@tommylejeune6410 nope...still looking

@@chadtosh6831 we are aiming to ship on monday
@ same here. Booked a liner. Calves were dang strong in Clyde yesterday.
@@chadtosh6831listening to the sale this morning in vermillion...pretty good
A dump rake works good on the twiggs. Imagine the disc rebladed.
How cold is it there now?
Plus 12.. or 60 degrees
Dam good plowing sod buster.
Thanks sam
Was that land cleared before? The trees aren’t that big
About 15 years back. Was just logged

I have never heard that before...but there is probably some truth to it if there was a lot of snow

Hopefully you got moisture in the ground
Yea better fix the 8. It’s almost cold enough to freeze your fingers lol
I was looking it over yesterday
i plowed one winter it was 19 below had 8/10 in snow sure had a time raised a heck of crop next yr
@@charlietanner6211 lol nice....
Were you able to get all your manure spread?
Just starting
Can I come borrow that disk for a couple days lol
@SouthSaskFarmer1 haha for sure...it works good
@Northern_Farmer if only it wasn't an 18 hour drive lol
@SouthSaskFarmer1 ill tell them to send one your way...they know who I am.
@Northern_Farmer now that'd be pretty cool
Is that a 4494 or 4694
4694
👍🏻
THANKS!
@@MySORRELL your welcome
in the winter , i let it warm up for 10 - 15 minute . winter joy !
It was pretty warm out really
Long time no see.
☕
5:47 Do you have Dif-Loc on that old girl?
@norcalray7182 i wish...they never came with different lock
such a small disc
12 ft...but it's heavy
You should be pushing those trees down now so the roots get pulled out then pile it up when the ground is frozen
@richardpeter1935 i know...if I had time I would.. and i wish I had the d8 going
