- Planting sweet corn today, Tractor Time with Tim uses the Maschio 2 row planter with fertilizer application. This is a bit overkill for our little garden but would be perfect for a hobby farmer/urban farmer wanting to grow corn or other vegetables for a farmer's market.

We use the 12 row versions of these on a Agri Project in Angola, very simple, plant very accurately with correct plates, robust and reliable with good depth control. Fertilizer application also very accurate. Prefer them above the high tech units here for obvious reasons
Glad to see you were able to get ur sweet corn in. Its been a weird start to the growing season. Going to be extremely dry in NW Ohio for the next 2 weeks.
Got on for the grower website n ordered your sweet corn. So far its doing well. Almost planted all the seeds lol. I'm very excited to c results!! Thank you for all you do guys!!
To some it up: Tim you are The Man!
You have shown us many things every week that help us. You’re a Great American Sir!
Growing corn this year for the first time in a small veggie patch, and gaining new appreciation for all those huge fields of corn I see while driving.
I am on the same page as your dad about planting in tire tracks. I prep the same as you do, 3032 with a tiller behind it, still use my grandfather's 63 Ford 4000, with a 50's era Dearborn 12-88 two row planter. Slower and not as accurate as your unit, still just as fun.
That is quite an “over-kill” machine, but interesting to see it in use. As a kid, we used a 2 row planter to plant our farm, but it was far cry from that one. Sounds like a sweet corn business opportunity ;-) Blessings.
Planted with love
That is a really nice planter. If you have a 5-acre and up crop, you'd have to look at this one seriously. Old Farmer Hack: Carry a stick on the tractor or planter for those seed on the ends. Use it to poke the seed in the ground and cover it with your shoe. Don't have to bend over.
I love it. now that you mention it, I remember seeing my grandpa with one
I just use the cultopacker
For someone that plants a couple acres that would be great. Very nice planter.
I couldn’t grow corn if my life depended on it. Anything else it grows like weeds but not corn.
I love seeing the 3 series being worked.
I don’t know what’s sweeter, that sweet corn....or that planter!
We used a jd 246 2 row planter for years to plant sweet corn and we did as much as 20 acres some years. The two row jd I got from your guy out in Illinois was quite an upgrade, but I do miss the fertilizer boxes. I now only do an acre or so, but back when I was a kid that planter you got there would have been the ticket.
Can you comment on your next video that this corn seed is now available for everyone that wants to grab some?
That planter kicks butt!
You should move your sweet corn along the property line and do longer rows.
Great video!
nice planter like you said it’s for bigger fields I have an JD 7000 4 rows works great I use that on my 30 acres and some jobs with my neighbors around 150 acres . this Gaspardo is for small farms. but with good quality, same as JD or other brands
Starter fertilizer doesn’t affect the yield so much as the maturity and dry down of the corn (talking dent corn here). The corn with starter fertilizer tends to be a few points drier on average over corn planted without because it gets a head start on growing. The nitrogen application after the corn is a foot or two tall is what really kicks the yield up.
Hey Tim I live on the farm and I love you’re Chanel
I picked up a John Deere 7000 4-38 for cheap, sold 2 row units for most of what I paid for the planter. I took the markers off and moved the row units to 30 inches. I haven't used it for sweet corn yet, but have planted deer food plots with it.
My future plan, is to take the tongue off, move the row units to one side of the transmission and cut it down for a 3 point 2 row planter.
It's not perfect or new, but works a bit better than the JD999 that I used to use and is paid for 😎
Like the JD planter!
Our planter, equipped with Precision Planting's vSet and vDrive (vacuum meters, electrically driven) has a couple functions that allow you to be planting seed as soon as you start moving through the field, instead of leaving a small area with no seed.
The first function primes the meters. Sitting still, the electric drives spin the meters until there have been three seeds detected by the seed sensor.
The second function eliminates the gap that occurs before the planter monitor detects movement, when starting a new field, backing into corners, etc... With electric drive meters, the planter monitor has to detect movement before it starts the meters spinning, thus planting the seed. On our planter, this movement is detected through the GPS receiver. Even though it happens quickly, there's still a lag between the tractor and planter starting to move, and the monitor detecting that movement. This lag will leave a noticeable, small gap of no seeds planted. There is a button to push that will start the meters spinning, thus dropping seed, for that short period of time the monitor doesn't detect the tractor is moving. It's like the meter prime function, but it doesn't shut off after just 3 seeds. It runs for a set amount of seconds (don't remember how many), or until the monitor senses movement and takes over its normal function of controlling the seed meters.
Tim with the no till planter you could have more cheese burgers, with all the exercise you would get pushing that mower between the rows. We wouldn't want you to fade away!!
Realizing that the ol' skool Covington planters set up as tandem on a tool bar were used to plant family farm plots of 200+ acres any 2 row planter isn't a toy size planter. Cool planter but looks too fancy for me.Side note: Covington planters haven't changed is design since their first mule drawn model.Only changes was tractor 3 point mount. No matter the age all parts interchange.
My Grandaddy planted 50 acres of soybeans every year with a 2 row planter. 2 row cultivated it until they were too tall, then he hand hoe’ed them until harvest.
@@thomasmccrea8149 Cool story. Imagine any farmer hand hoeing 50 acres today.....I know I can't.
I've been trying to buy one of those old two row Deere corn planters to refurbish. Hard to find here in central NY.
YUM!
I use a john deere 71 flex 2 row unit I built with liquid fertilizer 15gal tank with rebounders y nots and electric row markers if you want to try it let me know I use it on a 1025r
Sounded like Bullseye was having as much fun as you were
If you ever get a chance,you should try G-90 sweet corn!
How about a link to that deer planter you talked about?
Great video. Sure beats planting by hand. But expensive for sure.
Shame you can't rent it for a day or even a half day💡
Looks like a good planter for truck farm gardeners and small plot farmers. It has all the things of a larger farming planter, but reduced to just the two rows. A couple of questions, is it row width adjustable and does it come with plates so you can plant seeds ranging from beans to pumpkins? I know most farmers have gone to narrower rows for field corn and beans, but for sweet corn and garden beans most folks still want wide rows for ease of cultivating, spraying, and hand picking. For wildlife food plots it isn't as big an issue. I agree with you about planting in the tire tread, risk of it going into compacted ground and having trouble sprouting and putting down roots.
Tim, have you done a review on a plant setter? A little one or two row setter would be nice for setting bare root strawberries, trees, fruiting bushes or vines and maybe tomatoes and other vegetables. I know most people would not be interested in one for tobacco nowadays because of the declining demand for it, and the problems with getting a tobacco allotment.
Wow nice planter. Where do you live that you have a rain problem lol Iam wanting to move out of this south texas desert . Great video btw
With that big planter and Johnny III your gona need a bigger field to plant. How many days till harvest, I'm thinking August 17th?
Tim how well is the solar working on your trailers and keeping it charged kind of thinking about doing that with mine
I haven’t installed yet.
I bought the same corn. Do you have a video on spraying corn
No. Do Gooder commenters would have a field day.
Great video! What is ballpark price?
Weather: too wet at your place and here in NE Texas we're having a run of 100+ temps and only a rare pop up thunderstorm. So,so HOT and miserable with high humidity. My water bill at house will be $600.00+ a month just to keep the grass alive.($20,000.00+ if I have to re-sod it).Saint Augustine: you sneeze on it and it dies......Not a good choice for a lawn. Tis pretty though.Popular 20 years ago when my house was built.
Dumb question and maybe it is increased traction. Why are the R1 tires on the seeder mounted in the “wrong” direction?
What would be good to test is the best tasting corn that you can use the corn grown as the seed next year.
It is hybrid corn, so can’t be saved.
I'm experimenting with silver queen. Open pollinated white corn that is usually quite vigorous. It doesn't seem good for no-till. Most corn doesn't like competition from grass especially. I tried planting it into a heavy cover crop. Some came up but not well. Silver queen also needs plenty of fertilizer because it's a big plant. Strip till or full till and side dress for success!
Tim you teased us with the price so what's the cost?
With no till on grass one would kill that grass at the correct time. However Christy is correct for more than just the cost: work up to growing all the food you need: you have the space and you do not really need a lawn. While here in the USA we will likely have food, on a global view, we are likely to be short food. I can go on but that is politics and not tractors. However there are some systems out there for growing food that I have not tried out but do not use tractors. However it would be cool to have a TTWT review of these systems like FarmBot. I do not see FarmBot growing corn but tomatoes may be a good idea.
I like the planter you showed today, however I think the single row John Deere will do for me!
in no till 2 rubber closing wheels never seem to work as good as the spiked kind
Cool you heard her get planting. And if it doesn’t taste good sell it for gas. Good job
Id prefer either a Covington or a Cole planter for corn and brown pinto beans.
Okay i know it a new seeder for you but this seeder all its negatives can be fix if you would level it right it. Might seem to much for this small garden but just needs some leveling and your good to goo.
OK what's more expensive Tim's tractor he's using or the planter?
Tractor:-)
👍👍
Do you know how your corn would compare with Peaches & Cream or Bodacious?
Sweeter than either. Check the sweetness chart at 4thegrower.com
That fancy seeder needs two 12" wide rototilling drums in front of each seeder. Kill three birds with one stone, till, fertilize, and plant😊
Ugh! That would eliminate seat time!!!
Definitely too much for your garden but cool to see in operation.
Tim, I was wondering if you might have an email address I could send a few questions to you. Checked your website for one and didn't find it.
Why are you doing short rows instead of going with the length of the plot?
What’s this rain I keep hearing everyone talking about?
tell me about it. my mothers jeep grand cherokee 95.00 plus now to fill up. our one ton ram 180.00 give or take. no vacation this year. your limited to every half a tank of fuel ⛽️ just to make it more decent. more frequent stops but lots less spread out. for the sweet corn 🌽 i’d see if your brother would designate a section of field so you could sell it on a road side stand. if done right price wise you’d have a noah ark come by two’s buying by hand fulls but add tomatoes 🍅 cucumbers 🥒,cantaloupe watermelon 🍉 seeded or seed less.
Why are tires are on backwards on the planter?
Because they are ground driven rather than powered.
@@TractorTimewithTim thanks Tim, learn something new almost every day!
Hows your daughter doing and what's she up to
Recently graduated with Master’s Degree from John’s Hopkins. Now has a ‘real job’ with Land O Lakes.
will i be able to plant 1200 acreas with that
Yep. Better get started!
Perhaps it's good to pack the seed in the loose dirt with the tire. That kubota sounds like a metal coffee can full of ball bearings rattling around in it, normal I'm sure but my ears still ringing 😂😂
You are spoiled with the Green…like me.
@@TractorTimewithTim They are the best.
You can't keep the seed so why do you care if they cross pollinate?
For eating.
How much
Too much.
Tim your voice sounds a little wispy. Are you feeling ok?
$50 worth of seed planted with $50,000 worth of equipment and a return of a dinner our two.
Oh, but think about the fun we’re having!!!
@@TractorTimewithTim I completely understand. We plant 12 rows of sweetcorn and pumpkins with an old 246 Deere. Paid 4x the original price for the planter but it’s worth all the memories for all the kids in my life.
Run the Longway down your garden and not your short side
After Bullseye gets pecked on his noggin he will leave the chickens alone.
Do you Believe Jesus will return? I do!
