IH pioneered electric powered implements in the '50's, hydrostatic transmissions in the '60's, & row crop 4wd 2+2 88 Series tractors in the '70's, hurtz 2B 1st, just say'n. The JD's R purty for half a mil.

@20:50, it would be nice if you covered manual section control. I would like to use as a means of split row planting with a couple rows turned off for future spraying, but haven't been able to get it to work properly.

Not a John Deere

Tillage man Sam 😊

Was never as good as Oliver plows.

so this is basically the same system as a traction motor on a diesel electric locomotive which is GREAT

29:15 hey john deere can you automate the scv for the rate controller liquid pump as well? That would be slick.

Carbon fibre booms break and are unfixable Keep your steel booms

🚜🙏🏻🥰

I was told to set B later and drive straight as possible to the end of the field... Does that 50 feet work different for throwing up rows for cotton

This thing could be a lightning magnet. I manage a 20,000 ac farm in Georgia and we are all John Deere. IVT transmissions give alot of trouble we have them repaired and keep going. Last year our 8R230 with a 12 row exact emerge high speed all electric drive planter attached was struck by lightning one night during planting season. Bill to repair the damage was $173,000.00 for both pieces and 3 months time down. Technology is a must for large farms but it comes at a large cost.

Well where did it end up?

I was going to say that was the first implement John Deere himself made when the company started. Now, it won't be sold anymore. Times change I guess.

Nice to see Tillage Man Sam & Kibble Equipment Calling Out John Deere and Deere Executives for Discontinuing their Roots!

Yes is end era but people don't understand farm change a lot all years.i live calgary alberta and last 50 years is shocking with better tractor,combine,grain truck,farm dealer,grain distribution,railroad grain car,grain terminal vancouver,prince rupert bc everything change yes john deere was big thinker but the company change a lot too.thank you video 😊

What is the price? Sounds like a good investment!

It belongs in a museum dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s tillage man Sam

No more prairies, no more plows.

It’s “ Tillage Man Sam!”

Thanks.Really enjoyed.

Guess that opens the door for other guys to take that market share. Plowing is the best solution to combating chemical resistant weeds.

I feel we should keep the plow. This allowed our country to excell in good production. It will Always be required. I'm some form of production.

Ground should be plowed once in a while anyway so the farmer doesn't forget his roots. Does everyone agree ? 👍

Don't worry, in probably 50 years, we'll be back to that single plow.

Well I thought the new way of farming wants to do away with mold board plowing and go with No till

I'll take a red one please not a fan of the green

Thank you for the information it is history

8rx lacks reliable back tracks unless they make it 4 wheel steering

Amazing from the company that invented the steel plow and changed agricultural history.

John Deere gave us the steel plow but Oliver gave us the chilled plow

Americans need to spell it wright plow no plough yes

I grew up not far from grandetour illonois an moline illonois. That is so sad.

should go to a museum to remind people of our past.

Really sad😢

Salford plows is where its at with kverneland euro bottoms

Terrible. John Deere current management is probably more interested in d e I nonsense than actually producing useful equipment for farmers.

Not that important. 20 years from now you will be doing a video on the last traditional tractor being sold.

As, I type, John Deere is putting money in the pockets of politicians to make it illegal for Deere customers to work on their own equipment that they paid good money for. Deere stock should be worthless right now due to farmers refusing to buy Deere equipment until Deere changes its totalitarian practices. But, that's not happening because farmers have embraced the behaviors of their oppressors. Shameful.

Seems they don’t share our aversion to plowing in Europe. I see many videos of moldboard plowing going on over there

Kibble should keep it as a showcase item

The Hoover vacuum cleaner company originally made horse bridles. When cars came along their sales slumped. Vacuum cleaners were starting to take off so they switched their business model. JD is still making farm equipment, its just that plowing isn't a big thing anymore.

Blackrock motivated john deere to make this decision.

Not one runs terraces anymore around here. They push out the slews and draws the old timers let grow up in trees to stop the ditches. They call it cleaning a place up. 5 years later theres a ditch and a sway that 5 end dumps wouldn't fill. The plow is a tool of conservation not just tillage and it means more work to maintain what god left us. Some ore just all about speed to serve greed around here. My grandpa would knock most of my family in the head if he was still here. Spend a half million dollars on a tractor when they could spend a few hundred on fuel to keep thier topsoil from running down the Mississippi. Mr Deere, it is a sad day in farming. Its like some have forgotten how to farm. For those who know it takes 50 years to build an inch of topsoil and farm like it does GOD BLESS YOU. Rest assured your not the one the old men are cussing when you walk out of the coffee shop or sale barn.

Great information, times change plowing frequently is hopefully is a thing of the past

It should be put in the museum with the first plow.

Thanks Sam! May I had a little history? I was an engineer for John Deere for 36 yrs. When I began, the Metric plows, 2800, et al, were tested in the Montevideo area. In the early ‘80’s, I became the principal design engineer for the current production plows. So, I had to come up with solutions for problems with those plows. Eventually, a number of those solutions were combined into the 10 series plows, 2810 and 3710, introduced in 1987. Last fall, I was asked to come out of retirement to assist with this last build. I witnessed this plow being prepared for shipment on June 1, 2023 at Des Moines Works. I am honored that my legacy endured for 36 years. I hope to visit Kibble someday to see this plow.

Great video, very sad moment in time.

whatever happened to sticking with tradition, I mean land rover range rover, refuses to get rid of the adjustable armrest when they clearly don't need it because they have a center console armrest .they keep it for tradition

Glad to see Sam "The Tillage Guy" got to talk about John Deere's last moldboard.
