Deciding if you should use a tractor or a BCS on your farm is an important consideration. In this video we'll explore the pros and cons of each tool so you can make the best choice for your farm.
How to Select Seed Varieties
zhlédnutí 558Před 5 lety
Selecting seed varieties can be a tricky task. In this video we'll outline some of the things we like to think about when selecting the types of vegetables we grow on our farm.
Is it possible to graft chilis on tomatoes?
It's possible though I'm not sure if there would be any benefit
awesome video, had to swim through sewage to find this informative video.
Thank you
I have a couple of observations to make. First off, if you are farming a piece of ground that requires or works nicely with a tractor, then you're probably too big for a walk behind. There is some overlap to be sure, but generally, one will serve you better than the other, depending on the size of property being worked. Second, in general terms, a compact tractor without any attachments costs more than a BCS with a couple of attachments. Even a used compact tractor costs more. Then, take into account any repairs to the used machine, and the costs creep even higher. It's been my experience that it ends up being one or the other in terms of usefulness and practicality. Of course there is always the "nice to have" aspect well, so if cost is less of a concern, then the more pieces of equipment one has, the better.
It’s like comparing a Ferrari to a Mazda
What really makes difference between a two-wheel and a four wheeled tractor is the size of the land you want to work on. For one acre or less you definitely want a two-wheel tractor, it's versatile and effective. Beyond 2 acres working with it will place too much effort to your body, and you will need a bigger machine.
I have just the Chinese copy of the BCS but the work is the same. Forget about plowing heavy soil or untouched greenland. The work is too heavy and the machine has not enough power. Even with iron wheels it's difficult. Also it's too hard body work when you get older. The BCS is very fine in tilling before planting vegetables. It's good for mowing grass when the land is not too big. It's good for cleaning snow in the winter. A friend of mine is a professional gardener. He has some greenhouses and bought one of these very small used japanese tractors and is very happy with it because it saves him a lot of time and work. The BCS is good for greenhouses where you can't enter with a tractor or you don't have many. I bought also a small tractor because it wasn't for me anymore to walk hours behind the machine and the surface per hour is very low. I would advice a small tractor and those japanese ones starts also from 15hp or so. You can use the BCS for tilling weeds if you plant the vegetables with enough space between the rows or use smth similar with a smaller tiller. But that's all for what those things are good.
no nonsense video.... thanks! Glad I found this... I was feeling an upsale on another video, although I like this person for his experience. Great run down on equipment!
How do I know which cucumber to graft onto which cucumber type? Why do I graft? What are the advantages? This is my first time to think about this
I purchased my rootstock seed from Johnny's selected seeds. We found it dramatically increased our harvest duration. It can also help with cold tolerance, some disease and pest issues.
Would love to see a follow-up on the implements you are using to do all your soil work with the Kubota. Also, are you doing 30" beds with 18" rows? That would give you 4' center-to-center beds.
I hope you find a nice Farm in BC to farm again and come back to share the creation.
For many of us with large hobby gardens or small market gardens the Earthway seeder works just fine. I feel you need a really large garden or farm to justify a $500~ seeder. There are also a couple of other similar design seeders for under $150.
From what ive seen, its much cheaper to buy a used tractor. The implements are cheaper also
This video was very helpful for my research, and it was also really well done. In terms of cost and starting up, the Kubota dealer near us finances at zero cost. If possible, building that into your monthly expenses as a newer farmer might help a farmer grow and transition from other income more quickly. I'm so frugal that it is sometimes easy to miss the value in spending more to get more. Thanks for the well done video.
I purchased an Earthway about two weeks ago because I found it in a thrift store for $15.00 - no plates. Ordered a new set of plates,from eathway, so I am into it for about $60. We have a little hobby garden, so that is more than sufficient for our needs. But I will keep looking for a Jang at the thrifts and fleas, too!
For a rice planters especially I agrees with the fact that you're battling with the BCS. It's not easy to operate BCS on a muddy rice fields the way rice is planted in Asia.
I really like the tractor with a quick hitch and a cab
hi can u graft from grown tomato plant and cucumber plant?
When I heard there was a less expensive seeder, I got really excited. Now I see why the cost is so different 😅 siiigh. I guess I’ll be getting a Jang.
I had a BCS and now have a four wheel drive Iseki with 21 HP. I would never ever swap back to the BCS.
who the f**k is johnny i dont need johnny advertisements
Why are you doing eggplant into tomato root? Eggplant is much more disease resistant and establishes quicker, I've seen 4 varieties of tomato onto one eggplant stock but never the other way around
Practice makes perfect. Well, almost, with grafting. Grafting isn't an exact art. It is more or less a feel.
For anyone watching this video I personally on BCS 853 and I can tell you that most of the issues he points out with the walk behind tractor or user error And that the problems are not with the unit it’s self
That BCS cost around $9000.00. You can buy a very nice used tractor for less!
you can't adjsut seed depth with the Jang ! Strangely enough in these videos this issue is never mentionned. The Earthway is much better in that regard
I used both of tractor , that what I got Thanks for filming a video L,S&S 🙏👍
Both.I have both and I use both when I can.
Depending on the attachment, the BCS can be downright dangerous for someone that's very small, it can be a beast. Though for an average sized person, it's a good workout that's not going to kill you or hurt you, but it will provide great exercise.
Hello! Are you willing to sell the earthway seeder?
Ive been pleased with my earthway! But the smallest seed I plant is okra.
I tried to plant okra yesterday and my earthway kept failing. The seed kept going behind the seed metering plate and jamming. I was only planting about 120 feet so i just manually planted. Did I do something wrong? or is the earthway simply flimsy plastic crap?
@@chainsaw5524 It needs to be clean, No broken seeds and the seed plate needs to be completely seated. Also with the okra seeds being so round it is easy for a seed to roll under the plate. Also Id say, that I have to lean it to the right to keep the plate covered in seed, especially when it gets low in seed. I hate to call it a cheap peace of plastic, but it is low budget.
@@bamatractor Thanks, for your reply. Sorry, but I was verry frustrated. It worked good for sweet corn, but the okra... My seed was clean and round. I will take another look at it and see if I did something wrong. Again. Thanks.
i would of loved to see you operate the tractor in a bed
Thanks for the video. So the Johnny's guide says to leave the grafts in darkness & humidity for 4-days. Do you find moving them out after 24-hrs under 1-light bulb works better? Also are you closing up the vents on the dome once they are under light? What's the temperature of your controlled room with the lights? Thanks
We are using a broom to brush over in the end when there is too much soil on the plants. It works really great for most plants! Cheers and thanks for the video!!

If you’re experiencing body pain from using a BCS you need to spend some time practicing resistance training. Maintaining the farm is great. Maintaining the body is essential. Make farmers fit again. 😂
Are you guys hiring Overseas worker? been from a grafting company "Hishtil" @Israel before and I want to put my knowledge into work. I hope to here from you guys PS: I practiced using blade on cutting scion and rootstock and I could say I was good at grafting Thank you.
"I'm gonna seed into this basically unprepped bed, with these seeds that are bulging out of the tray, its an experiment.." 👌 rare to find a channel where someone has the balls to test run a bad play for lulz
I had the same thought! Haha
can you clarify the purpose of this practice? thank you!
The new plants will grow with all the characteristics of the rootstock which may offer disease resistance or greater yield.
Among other things
Super bro👏👏
Nice grating technique. Great infos. Thanks for sharing 🍃🌿
Hope to get more videos and experiment's about cucumber grafting
👍👍
What's the end result on grafting? Are these the same kind of plants? or different kinds grafted (different cucumbers grafted together? or tomatoes?)
Increase production, disease resistance, longevity, and hardiness depending on root stock you can get some or maybe even all of these depending on your disease pressure and type.
Honestly the smallest tractor you can get from John Deere is small enough to use in ANY backyard. BCS literally is a tractor, it’s not a unique thing, just the walk behind version. Walk behinds are great if you need to save money but if you were so inclined you could get a John Deere 1025r, operate it in all the same size spaces, and do all the same jobs to the same quality, but with a cab and a stereo and heat and a seat. It really just depends on how much money you have, or are willing to spend. If money is no object, or maybe your goal is just to farm in the backyard while being lazy then you could just use a 1025r or equivalent tractor. I like the BCS but I’m only going to use it for the tiller in one area in my garden, the rest is fine with a sit down tractor
🙏👍👍
Demonstration is educative and interesting. Could you please tell us the tool you use for cutting the stock and scion in blue colour. Will help us. Thhank you.
It's a grafting knife. We got ours from Johnny's selected seeds
@@zaklanfarm thanksfor the information. We are unfortunate it isn't available in India.
They have a riding attachment tho right? Would that solve the body punishing issue?
You can connect a cart which you can ride on. The issue is that when that is connected you can't use another implement.
Hey there! Thanks for the info. So on the Jang seeder are there bean and corn and cucumber drums/rollers available for that? Thanks
have you looked at those BIG Chinese hand tractors they use in Asia on the rice patties and fields you can use them with the big implements and you can take them places the big 4x4 tractors cant go. i cant seem to find them here in the states, but they make those bcs look like toys for hobbiests
So many cool tools in Asia that you can't get here!
Nice video. I love my EarthWay for planting sweet corn. Use seed plate #22 that comes with the seeder, and tape off every other hole on the seed plate, using electrical tape.
Thanks for the info
