- Dylan and Robert travel to Elora, TN, to meet with @TheCropCritic , who has a unique blend of In-furrow fertilizer for their corn. While there, they look at a John Deere 8RX 370 with Yield 360 tanks that Eric uses to pull his planter. After returning home, Dylan discusses the tillage practices he will use on the high-yield plot and why. After that discussion, they head to the field to prepare that perfect seedbed.

I came over from the crop critic, subscribed!
Thank you sir.
That's a heck of a planter & tractor
Another great video brother. Very informative and fun to watch. I love how use the older equipment. Just shows that you can do the same thing with older stuff as you can with all the new fancy stuff.
I love my old equipment.
We do deep tillage in the fall and follow up with the disc. In the spring, we use an IH-4600 field cultivator with a one bar leveling harrow and rolling basket from Unverferth. That gives a very nice seed bed for planting corn in our soil here in NW Ohio.
Good stuff fellas, that was a good class 👍🏻appreciate y’all’s time and effort in taking us along💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
BEUTIFUL LOOKING FIELD
Thank you very much.
Nice video.
That’s a bloody serious southern accent.
I've been told that a time or two.
Love the content brothers. Many blessings this crop season as well. Something that might fit your fancy thats wide low hp vt is a great plains ultra till. Buddy of mine used to pull a 30ft with a 2wd 4955 6-7 mph and make a very nice seed bed.
Thanks for the info. We will look in to it.
Hard working men , stay safe , enjoy, have fun !
Thank you Sir.
Well well, fashionably late again but made it!! You guys are really going that extra mile this time, looking fwd to seeing all the fruits of the labor!! Hope things are going!! Look fwd to seeing what's next!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍😁🚜🚜
I run a john deere field cultivator with a unverferth double rolling basket behind it, 2 passes its butter.
Great video guys 👍👍
We would disc, then moleboard plow, then cultimulch then plant. Sometimes we would run a drag in front of the cultimulcher.
Hello from Collinwood Tennessee good video s 👍👍👍🙏🏻
Glad you joined us.
Great Plains turbo till would be your best bet, being able to adjust your gang angle and depth on the go, plus having the spike reels to take the place of your Phoenix harrow and single or double baskets behind the spike reels, come see us at Mckeel equipment in Murray KY. Andy and Dan would be glad to help tailor one to y'all's exact needs
Man my husband should have been a talk show host. He sure like to talk farming even does it in his sleep!! 🤣🤣
That he does! We had a 15 minute phone conversation this morning.
My neighbor has a McFarlane reel disc that does a really nice job, some people love them and some people hate them after reading on them but what I’ve seen it leaves a nice bed. I’ve also helped another fella with a 496 narrow spacing and a McFarlane 8 bar harrow behind it and id have to say dollar wise that’s the nicest finish setup I’ve seen for not much investment and easy to maintain.
Thanks for the info! From what I've seen, I think a MacFarlane might be too heavy for us to pull with our 2wd tractors.
We’ve been running a 18’ Great Plains Turbo Chopper. It does us a nice job. Pulls hard for what it is
I’ve heard they pull hard. What are y’all pulling it with?
We started with a 4640 but it had its hands full 2” deep at 8mph on our hills. But it’s loaded with weight. It’s heavier than it needs to be. I think you’d be fine with 18’ and Chopper not fully loaded
Oh I thought Robert bought y'all a new planter tractor. Must have been crop critics tractor
Looking good boys. Disk with a roller behind it does a nice job, but I think the turbo tills do a better one. However, price on a turbo till is pretty high
You can buy a big Turbo-Till cheaper than an 18 or 24-foot. I've seriously considered a big one and chopping it down.
@Dylan Joyce Farms it would probably be cheaper. Now I did see a homemade one for sale on market place. Someone had took a white disk and changed all the blades to straight waves and put a roller basket on the back. Look pretty neat
I bought a Salford 1200 …take a look at them nicest seed bed I’ve ever made in 40yrs of farming
I planted behind an RTS Salford once, and it was one of the smoothest seedbeds I've ever planted. Does the 1200 have some sort of shank on it?
@@DylanJoyceFarms yes, as an option you can get it with hydraulic subsoil shanks on it, that way you can lift them up out of the way when you don’t need them.
@@shawngrindingacres5437 that's slick! I like that.
BOB how about a 4955 or a 4960 with a 24 foot Turbo till . Couple of guys around me have them for Rocky field they don't pull the rocks up like a normal disk
That would be a cool combo.
30 foot Kelly diamond does really good job one pass machine
I think the case turbo harrow is the way to gom they ain't hard to pull and they work the top couple three inches perfect w the basket system they have on back. Have ran a 19 foot and 30 foot turbo till and both were hell to pull and didn't hardly do nothin to the ground bat all
From watching videos on youtube, I like what I've seen of them. They move some dirt and leave a slick finish on top.
@@DylanJoyceFarms yea and the depth adjust on them is very accurate. One turn equals quarter inch
The farmer I helped w a 19 foot turbo till took bout all his 7230 wanted but then gets a 26 foot turbo harrow and it drags it just fine at 8 or 9 mph. Bossman I have now has 8360r and 30 foot great plains and it will have that 360 tryin to run warm not even pulling it at 7 mph and it ain't hardly doin anything behind you.we pull a 30 or 31 foot rmx 340 case harrow w the same 360 at 6.8 sometimes faster but it will unlevel your field if you go faster w no problems and it works the dirt just as good as any harrow, better than most I believe. Idk why them great plains have all them weights and are so hard to pull and don't hardly work no dirt
What about a soil conditioner like a Salford just wondering been watching few farmers in the Minnesota area where they have heavy black soil they like them really well but not sure if it works good in our area just asking saying hi from Tupelo Mississippi area
I've actually planted behind a Salford before. It was some of the nicest planting I've ever done.
Does anyone in your area use row hippers to make rows in the fall and then plant into them in the spring?
No bedded ground here. Too hilly.
Need you a McFarland incite you wouldn’t need the pass with the disk or do all or even the phoenix just one pass with incite and done
What heathen gets ketchup out of the fridge for a steak??? Those Mid TN folk are a little bent…😂
get dealers to demo you a tirbo till to see if does the job you’re looking for
Case 330
Vertical tillilish
try and relax when you are explaining things dylan. some people would not understand what you mean but anyone with any knowledge of this would find it interesting . take care from ireland. hope you enjoyed your time with the crop critic. extremely expensive looking planting combination
Could you rip it in the fall or does it need to be done right before you plant?
Yes it can be ripped in the fall.
Will the increase in yield pay for the increased land preparation costs
It will take a 3-bushel increase to pay for the seedbed prep. We will have that no problem.
Need a new shop video
LoL No, we don't because I don't want to be working on anything.
