I always like watchin' I spent fall at Lake Champagne campground in Randolp , VT next to the AG college. In front of me watching farmers cutin, rackin, balin. Good fun watchin.
It's great to see a real farmer working with old equipment. Not many farmers have brand new equipment. It's just not affordable. Takes a lot of creativity to be a good farmer. Enjoy your content.
Not to many farmers have brand new equipment , pal you need to open your dam eyes n smell the real coffee bud that's all you see anymore. Farmers and brand new equipment. You must be ablivious . I hope you don't vote like that.
I have a JD 52 B ,and a #15 Massey Harris ground drive manure spreader- There are some little kids down the road so I try to go that way for a ride, and they will wave, jump up & down and holler Tractor, Tractor!! I stopped one day and & little boy was all happy- he had a pair of bibbed overhauls on, so I ask him if he wanted to sit on the tractor, and he did and his Mother took his picture and he was all Happy!!
Yanko Always the most spoiled one of the family lol. I had an 140lb german shepherd for 12 yrs til he fell going down steps & broke his spine. Strong as a bull & had easily 2-5 more yrs in him but had to make that very hard decision to put him down. Took quite awhile to get a vet to come to the house & when he went to knock him out his heart was soo strong he had to administer 2 doses . Made me feel soo badd & even worse to have to have it done .
You made me smile when you said about your bad luck....I swear that is just part of farming but then if it was easy everyone would be doing it! That looked a nice ploughing job and you should be proud of yourself in what you achieve each day.
I think bad luck is just part of the push unfortunately. We wrecked the sidewall on (2) 710/70R38's yesterday an hour after the tire shops closed.. so much for weekend tillage. Good luck and keep plugging along!
Good to hear you had JD training wondered how you knew so much about GREEN. Also like watching old footage but hate seeing how much you worked & had to walk away 😢
Ha, should bring the mobile welder by and slap a piece of plate on there, drill out a hole and call it a day. It looks like it could be cast steel so should be okay to weld, would need a spark test. I love restoring old fields to their original perimeters, mowing and cutting and clearing it out.
I have been plowing non stop for a month....fun to watch someone else do it lol.....I am pulling a 4 bottom Case roll over plow with a 1980 John Deere 4440....so still doing it old school.....I always describe plowing as "scrubing your kitchen floor with a tooth brush" lol......but the better plow job you do, the more it saves the farm money by less passes after you plow to when you plant...a rough plow job can cost a thousand bucks in fuel and lots of man hours to get it knocked down flat.
@@DuffyAg Maybe try getting further away from your and check your depth.....might help eliminate the stuff not being buried....also, check your trash boards....that plays a big part of making green stuff disappear.
@@DuffyAg Maybe try getting further away from your furrow and check your depth.....might help eliminate the stuff not being buried....also, check your trash boards....that plays a big part of making green stuff disappear. Even worn out points will make a difference....we have super abrasive soil where I am (Whidbey Island, Washington) and when we changed points (shears) out, the plow acts totally different till you wear them in. Also draft control is another big one.....might check that as well. That 7520 should have a draft control know somewhere....play with that a bit. Not trying to tell you what to do, but sharing some of my plowing knowledge.
Loving the videos keep them up . We used always plow our paddocks in Australia to dry them out to plant as long as you could pull the plow you'd be out working . And when it comes to plowing practice makes perfection so keep plowing .
@@DuffyAg I have had lots of working dogs from Labs to Blue Heelers. My experience has been The Australian dogs not quite as domesticated as the usual gun type dog. A little feral is still left in them. I am pretty sure the Heelers we had could have fended for themselves if they needed to. Catch deer or what ever to survive. A little rain never bothered them. Really good working dogs they are. Not suitable for city/apt living. Yenko is one lucky dog to have an environment suited for him.
Can I just say how good it makes me feel to see what a good dog owner you are. My mom runs the local animals shelter and my old lady works there so I spend my extra time not much but whatever extra time I have volunteering out there. You would be upset to see just how many people get a dog because they think it’s cool then abandon them because it’s to much responsibility. It is so disappointing to see just how shitty people are! Nice to see you set a good example for people to see the right way to be a dog owner! Thank you for that!
We have all Versatile tractors now. At one time, we had a 7520, a Massey 1805, and a 4386 IH. The 1805 only lasted a few years. IH was good. The 7520 didn’t give us problems. All just not the power we were looking for. Better to get what you need than turn up what you have and use it wrong.
That field is looking good. Get that extra tire fixed and fab up a mount to carry it on the plow.....then your sure to never need it..... it’s called “reverse juju”.
I’m getting caught up on all the videos since February, so I’m almost there! I was deployed, so I wasn’t able to watch much. I don’t know anything about farming, so I’m learning a lot watching your videos, keep ‘em coming! I have distant family that farms and raises beef cattle in central Illinois and cousins who farm in the San Joaquin Valley of California. I never got to experience any of it other than the occasional visit but there’s a part of me that wishes I grew up on a farm rather than in the city!
Hi I left a tractor one place and it was at the back of couple hundred acre field. They broke both doors glass, the turn signal lever all the gauges the shift lever the radio air filter oil filter who does things like that. Also had a tandom dump trailer stolen cant leave things there. Torch was a good idea I'm getting old not to think of that lol. Have a great day
Plow parts are expensive enough that it is worth while to buy a parts plow. There are a lot of 300 or 500 dollar parts on them so buying a plow for 1000 or 1500 makes sense
No worries Chris, it's all part of the learning process!! I know that's easy for me to say, but you'll come out on top. When you feel like all is lost, just give ol Yenko a pet on the head, and all is good again lol. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it
Humans are ash holes when the stuff aint theirs, that's why i have guns and a big field. lol.. Thanks for sharing your days with us, Peace and God Bless.
Two things;can you use the leftover bales of hay from last year and use them as mulch to fertilize or compost the soil? 2. A friend has a mushroom farm and every 3or4 months they change the dirt out and put in new dirt , mushroom soil is extremely rich in nutrition for plants.The soil is -was free to haul off as much as you could,by truck load dry bulk spreader should work...
Well if it's raining my dog doesn't even check, just gets soaking. The owners kids watching her pull. Some kids like to see where their food comes from and what has to be done to get it. The farmers who grow and feed are the best. Don't think you can no-till rye but maybe so. Wouldn't do your planted crop much good to be shaded. Along the field edge you need a fold-up brush hog to square back those leaning over bushes.
It’s crazy to see some of the lease terms you have. No leaving equipment in field over night? We farm in East Tn for the most part if we keep the land cleared they don’t care what we do lol love the videos man. Love to see how people farm in different parts of the country. Keep it rolling 👍🏼
Same here I hate people had both my tractors tool boxes completely wiped out as well as my pull out chain on front of the Deere since I mow ditches I’m stuck often . I’ve had equipment and trailers stolen but always recovered since all machines and trailers have gps !
Can never bring enough tools and spare parts. I hay 24 miles from the farm, solo. A service truck or trailer would make life much easier, but you've got to work with what you've got.
Man I so love your your content - I'm just amazed that you have a regular job, manage to farm, and put this content up on the net for us. Do you ever get to sleep? Anyway, thanks again! I'm sort of reliving my youth watching you wrangle the older equipment, fixing on the fly and making do. Keep at it!
Awesome video. I love the drone shots. Just remember when you get down your puppy dog is there to cheer you back up. Thanks for sharing, can’t wait for the rest of the season from the planting to the harvesting!
i like your farming videos i used to farm with my dad and my self until every body wanted cash rent and i could nt do that i had old equipment it works just as good as the new stuff i ve milked cows raised bottle calves got beef cows to done every thing but raised sheep good old john deere 7520 one of the best
Skimmers would help bury the trash, have you consider topping/Flail mowing the cover crop before ploughing it in. The plough is turning the furrows over lovely, i've never ran a trailed plough, always had mounted.
Yes. Not as common as a conventional plow. In Wisconsin a lot of the potato farms run them. I went to potato country and bought a four furrow, neighbors looked at it funny until they realized no dead furrows to work shut. Around my part it's mostly Disc chisel plow, or deep ripped for primary tillage. A few farms are starting to go vertical tillage, couple 100% no till farms too.
Another great video - thanks for sharing. It would be interesting sometime to also see you work for De-Laval (if they'd let you film). Greetings from an ex-dairy farmer (in UK) now growing hay in Spain. 👍
Thanks for watching. I don't know if I will ever post about that work since it's not my farms and I'm on someone else's pay at it so me taking more time may not be good. Hope the UK is well

FARMER, I LIKE IT, A LOT, I'M 74 AND I'VE BEEN THERE.
Nice job that plowed up pretty nice. That 7520 looks pretty sharp making laps in the field. I don't blame the kids for watching

Hi you make too get your Mom same flowers for Mother day. And maybe Dad too. Be safe and have good weekend and week.
It’s so nice seeing the young ones coming out to watch maybe one day they will be into farming to keep it going hope you gave them a ride
I’m 15 and Farmings all I want to do, it’s the best job, much better than sitting in an office all day
those kids just loved the big ole Deere!!
Makes you feel good when you got people that appreciate you.

Watching your videos just makes me want to get outside and do some work. It’s weird the places you can find motivation 😂
I’ll send link to my brother in western New York who is the President of the NY Two Bangers Club with a news letter👍👍👍
You made me smile when you said about your bad luck....I swear that is just part of farming but then if it was easy everyone would be doing it! That looked a nice ploughing job and you should be proud of yourself in what you achieve each day.
I like watching the progress
I can’t wait to see the corn being planted
Into planting now should have some videos of it next few days
Love the drone shots!
Me to been getting some awesome shots with it
I think bad luck is just part of the push unfortunately. We wrecked the sidewall on (2) 710/70R38's yesterday an hour after the tire shops closed.. so much for weekend tillage. Good luck and keep plugging along!
Thats how it always seems to go
Life cant keep a good farmer down think positive you will over come all the little things and be on top big thumbs up
I really look forward to your uploads, another great video Chris, thank you from the UK
I very much enjoy having a new video to watch every day
I could watch plowing videos all day. Great stuff Chris
Good to hear you had JD training wondered how you knew so much about GREEN. Also like watching old footage but hate seeing how much you worked & had to walk away 😢

Rain caps on all our tractors were on backwards so that a branch would not break the cap.

That is a dream to plant into
You can build a crapper to go in the front Herba articulated tractor where is the blade attaches that would be pretty sweet

Your good luck is "Yanko" and don't over feed him, worst thing you can do. Enjoy your content from up here in Ontario.
that's the way of the farmer.
"try a thing and SEND IT"
Absolutely only way to do it
Can never bring enough tools and spare parts. I hay 24 miles from the farm, solo. A service truck or trailer would make life much easier, but you've got to work with what you've got.
Thats tough for sure too. And yup can't have everything at once.

Thanks for watching and land owners don't understand for sure. Plus everyone runs up rent it seems
7520 seems to just idle along playing with that plow👍🇺🇸💪. Thanks Chris your doing great with the videos.
Been using Tireject in assorted tires lately. Works great but it is expensive.
Also planting barley, is basically a green manure
We do plough every year in the Netherlands and it's a time consuming job for sure
Skimmers would help bury the trash, have you consider topping/Flail mowing the cover crop before ploughing it in. The plough is turning the furrows over lovely, i've never ran a trailed plough, always had mounted.
Dairy Mama sayz, "You need to get a real baby, boy."
Nice Video, 3 point plows like ours in Europe are not in your area? I think they are better for the smaller fields?
Greetings from Germany 👍
Nice job 👍 ground is never moldbord plowd before? Nice sandy soil. Greetings from the Netherlands
Did you do any soil tests on any of the new land? I would love to see how it improves over time
Give the kid a ride ( with permission of course)
How far from the farm is the field you plowed last? How many acres? Great video, Have a great week.
Don't see bottom plowing much anymore unless you have clay ground
plow down organic material as much as you can over time you cant hide it makes the best ground good luck sounds like you need some cheer in your beer
Thats what I'm hoping. This ground needs more organic material in it. Thank you
I much prefer to see ploughing rather than Tilling any day.
What's up
That old Deere sounds a beast like the way it rolls out the coal when you give it the beans, wat horse power and how old is she.
I see cobleskill ag hoodie. What year were you there. I went fall of 07 but Deere gave me better offer at the time.
I wonder how many hours are on that 7520.
Thought that de laval truck was the farms ser truck. Do u work off the farm too?
Yes I have a full time off farm job working for local delaval dealership doing robotic milking equipment
Hi from England do you use reversable ploughs in the US??
Brilliant videos btw 👍👍👍
Yes. Not as common as a conventional plow. In Wisconsin a lot of the potato farms run them. I went to potato country and bought a four furrow, neighbors looked at it funny until they realized no dead furrows to work shut. Around my part it's mostly Disc chisel plow, or deep ripped for primary tillage. A few farms are starting to go vertical tillage, couple 100% no till farms too.
LoveYenko! Favorite farm dog hands down. Breed? Breeder?
He sure is a good one. He's a blue heeler and came from a breeder in New York who hasn't breed since but has his sister
Never heard of not being able to leave equipment in the field you farm
I wouldn't want to anyways to many people messing with equipment if we leave stuff in fields it's usually by a house
Haven't even watched the video, but dude, you don't even know what's it like to have bad luck!!!!!!

Do you fly the drone while driving the tractor?
Yes. Use some of the auto track feature and some manual flying
@@DuffyAg that’s really cool. Love the shots and the video. Keep up the awesome content!
👍😀
What kind of drone do you have
Mavic pro 2
Do you have any fields of alfalfa
PREFLIGHT prior to your mission
I'm not being a jerk, I run ALL of my machines like I'm flying
Flying is great fun. But that z axis can ruin your day, since I use aircraft maintenance, look over and procedures I've saved downtime and screw ups
Real men use checklists
Btw there are old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots,🤗
CHECK out the Erin Holbert YT, see how her father runs the farm he is organized, and a stickler for maintenance, he is well established, but maybe he can give to u some guidance to optimize your opetation that way you are not hearing it from couch critic your till job was very impressive
I've seen a few o f your videos you are a 1 man shop, I know personally it is difficult
Keep going I've
seen big progress!
Hi
So u pay ur self do all this work with your equipment or the farm pays you always lost?
