We don’t farm near as big, but I love seeing big family farms like this. Class act.
WOW That is one hell of a spraying machine! Very high tech. Suspension system on it makes it ride smooth I'm sure. Thanks for the video.
BTP thank you for all the great videos, makes my 1970’s equipment look like toys!
I grew up in the 70’s. That my favorite era for farm equipment. What are your main machines.
same here more or less. Our sprayer is on the back of a '81 JD3040
Would like to see a tour of that farm looks like a top class operation.as always thank you for the video
That's one impressive video BTP.
looking forward to your video of the three million bushel farm you were on today.
Great when you're up in the cab.
Matt was a joy.
👍👍👍
Matt is always informative. Watch for Matt in an S790 combine tomorrow.
This farm and Matt are so cool to let you film them...always love a ride with Matt!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
Thank you for watching. Tomorrow’s video will be a combine ride along with Matt running an S790 in corn.
Can’t wait
Love these sprayers
That was a great video, keep up the great work. I would like to see more of the intensive farming needed for organic crops.
I do film at an organic farm. I featured planting and cultivating so far for 19. Stay tuned for harvest.
There is usually more tractor or hand work in growing organically with trying to keep the weeds down. I've watched the other videos, just want to see more. Thank you for doing all these videos and keep up the great work.
Love the video’s with Matt, seems like a real cool dude, I can’t believe how rough those fields get, I watched this on my 4K tv, lol, almost got mostion sickness before the sprayer ran out:-)
2009deerejohn It will make you dizzy just watching it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Impressive machine. I enjoyed the ride.
Thank you for riding along.
The field looks full and green. It’s a beautiful sight.
That was really awesome with the extended ride in the cab I was surprised how rough it actually Road those fields really need a good working over and looking at the farms green bins oh my God those things are huge
This field will be deep ripped 18 inches in November to break up the ground. The bins are an impressive set up.
Awesome video Jason
Thank you for watching.
Cool video ! They use a crop duster plane by my house to apply .
This uniport is very beautiful !
Thank you for watching.
Great video
Thank you for watching.
Haven't watched it yet but I know it's gonna be a good video.
I like your thoughts. Thank you for watching.
I suppose it's that rough from cutting the wheat and planting when it was so soft this summer? I wondered how many trips for the season and he just spits out seven ,and I guess that's just spraying let alone planting and harvest ! Thanks to you and Matt for the video!
The spraying is 6 times. Wheat is sprayed in January, March, April and May. Then soybeans are sprayed in July and August. One pass for soybean seeding in June.
Nice vid !
Thank you for watching.
that’s one hell of a frame machine I like that can you do more with Matt isn’t he seems like a really cool day thank you
How many hours do they run these sprayers before they retire them and then what do you do with a retired sprayer
No hot loading or air blow off WOW!
Nice video
Thank you for watching.
Do the spray nozzles have to be to manually manipulated or can they be turned by power
Soy Beans ! It seems Soy Beans are very popular. I myself don't care for Soy Beans used in Asian cooking. Soy Sauce aka-pigeon blood in Chinese food as a slang in tri-state area of NYC many years ago. Beautiful farmland in Kentucky. Enjoyed🚜👍
Humans eat less than 5% of the soybeans. Soybeans mostly are grown to feed almost all the poultry the world consumes. Pigs, cows, fish and pets eat a good portion. Oil is used to cook many foods and make diesel.
You are consuming more soybeans than you could ever imagine in reality.
Idk why u felt the need to type that. Soybeans along with corn are the back bone of agriculture in our country. Animal feed, oil, diesel fuel, other areas as well. Soybeans are vital
Hands down these are my favorites. Riding w Matt. Cool guy 😎. Always great big tractor power!!!
A&R Farms I love these as well.
Those sprayers are expensive. Is it more cost effective in the long run though when compared to hiring an ag plane and pilot to dust crops?
Good video! Surprised they don’t have a nurse truck! Would save them time!
They just pull the semi trucks right in the field to fill i this case it was close enough to refill right right at the farm.
bigtractorpower I kind of thought so but it would still save time having to fold the booms in and out and cruise to the farm. But they know best!
What about Matt's fram equipment tour?
Now a new equipment shop is ready.
It will be good time as they have final operation done before harvest.
I will have to ask the farm about s tour. December would be the best time when everything is washed and put away.
@@bigtractorpower That sounds like a plan
Hard riding unit. Bounce bounce bounce
Ran one for a living. It's an extremely nice ride for the operator... If your in the buddy seat well that's not fun
It is a bouncing in the buddy seat. Matt has a suspended seat.
I wonder what happened to all the truck style sprayers I used to see? They had huge flotation tires on them. Some were 4-wheeled Terra Gators, others were not. But now all I see are these high clearance tractor type sprayers with the skinny wheels. Wouldn't something with flotation tires be better for beans & small grains?
The high clearance sprayer has been out in full force since the mid 1990s and some even before that. With so many used models out there it’s the way to go for many farms. The skiing tires fit between the crop rows where floaters would mash them. This farm runs floaters on the R4045s on early wheat applications in the winter and to spray corn seed beds before planting.
Aqui no Brasil nao temos esse equipamento! Pra nos a john derre fornece o pulverizador M4040 boa maquina tbm !
Jhonatan Souza don’t know what you are saying but it’s cool to someone besides Americans on this channel too!
@@arikhuebner3 Thanks friend I would like to learn a little of your work in the field in America, and I would also like to show how it is here in Brazil, work on a farm, thank you friend.
Love all you videos!! Where is this farm located?
Western Kentucky, near hopkinsville
Cool
Thank you for watching.
Does the wheat straw transfer more powdery mildew to the soybean? Bye Hans.
Hey there bigtractorpower it sounds like you got bounced around there a bit!
Just a little bit.
The white pickup almost got squashed 😁
He was good. He got by faster than it looked. Every one is careful about backing up as well.
Matt, what transmission does Deere use in your sprayers?
It has a hydrostatic transmission with gears from 10-20. And then 22, 25, 30, and 35
How many times a year, do they spray a crop
So i take it JD didn't run electric mirrors on the 4045? weird as they have em on the combines.
From Matt’s discussion on the mirrors I would say they are not electric. .
Here's an idea, don't go 16-17mph and it won't beat the hell out of your back
In order to maintain 15 gal to the acre I have to do a minimum of 16 mph with twin jet tips.
@@iamatt568 I'd switch tips, I farm in Iowa, have a sts14 with 120ft and rarely go over 14, most spraying some at 12 or less, my reflexes aren't fast enough lol
Cowboy... making a big mess.
Hemlock mi are you gonna come to our farm and blog post on CZcams we will just be working on equipment
It appears you can drive right over your crop without destroying it I know they're not keeping in line with the what the crop lines
Good video, please I want to ask all the growth soybean that the tractor is matching are they going to grow back either survive, because I can see that the operator is not following the track for the sprayer again .
Sounds like you were getting pretty beat up 🤕 riding in the sprayer
Holy cow that’s a massive operation! It has to be a corporate farm, correct? How many acres do they run?
It is a family farm that goes way back into the 1800’s. Several generations of the family involved in the day to operation of the farm. They run over 30K of crops per year.
@@bigtractorpower 30k acres?!
Curious. Is the sprayer track spacing opened up? Looks wider than 120". If so why?
Yes it is set to 150” for better stability
@@iamatt568 I'll have to give it a try this fall while doing N.
Which app is he using on the ipad
Did they start corn harvest?
Yes. Tomorrow’s video is Matt running an S790.
Looks rough Jason.
A video of all the equipment at the shop
At some point. I need to ask permission first.
I really wonder how many times out of 10 years that's profitable in a double crop situation. Typically very hot and dry when DC beans are flowering, which is not conducive for disease development.
In 20 years of photographing and filming double crop beans I have only seen two years end in a wipe out. Drought years that also ruined corn in 2007 and 2012 produced 5 to 10 bu double crop beans. All the other years they have been 50 bu. Or better. The last few years they have been in the 60s.
What are the two hoop buildings for at 23:29 minutes?
There are three of the buildings. They are green houses.
No burndown before wheat?
No they disk the corn stalks and plant the wheat. First spraying is in January for fertilizer.
Still got the “Bud” shades.
😁👍👍
Aí eu do valor top
You would think that the time wasted and crop damage caused with ground spraying would be wasteful due to the wages to pay and equipment to run and insure over application by crop dusting.
Man the other video seems like yesterday!
The year is rolling by fast. Combines will be harvesting these soybeans before we know it.
@@bigtractorpower You are right. I don't remember it being this quick (old bean-walker here, detasseling, etc) seems like the summers were longer back then !!
*LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, KEEP 'EM COMING!*
Low GPA. When I spray fairways, I'm at 45 GPA, greens 85 GPA.
Hey BTP, ask Matt what’s up w the greenhouses? See they have two big one. I’m from South Carolina and we were big tobacco farmers until the buy out. Do they grow tobacco or use to?
A&R Farms those are grain bins to store the crops once harvested.
Karen Williams yes mam, I’m talking about the two greenhouses behind the grain bins. I’m a third generation farmer and have several grain bins.
I do thank you though
They are used to grow tobacco
Matt G I gotcha bud. Man I enjoy the vids w you. Nice farm. Wish we had fields that big in SC. I grew tobacco all my life till 2005. We farmed around 350 acres. I don’t miss having to hand all the employees. Been row crops e ever since
Matt G I was thinking today this dude would make awesome videos and game a huge channel if he wanted. I can’t find time to do all that though
why he is driving so fast?
Is Matt running starfire3 on this machine?
Yes it is a 6000 receiver running SF3 signal
Matt G what app do you have on your ipad
The damage there doing to the beans....???
Not an issue at all. They stay in the same foot print every time they spray.
Why he does not drive along the row?
You risk running over more plants following the row then just going at an angle you know you’re only knocking down to plants at a time. If you follow the road and get off track you can knock down 100 feet in a matter of seconds before you get back on course.
Do you know date of planting bean?
These beans were probably planted June 12.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks! Growing is very fast. Very impressive
How far away is the farthest field
Just under 60 miles. I filmed Matt spraying herbicide in the field. It is linked below.
2:16 imagine if he didn't stop lol.
Yeah. He looked like he was hauling ass at 20 miles per hour.
Why isn't the machine following the rows
Because they set a foot print to spray the first time they fertilize in January and run the same path in March, April and May as they spray wheat. Then when the beans go in over the cut wheat they spray the beans twice. It all works out well.
Ok, makes sence, thank you
Also if you run a sprayer on the skinnies (like Matt was here) and you are following the seeded rows the Auto Steer can fight with the indentation in the dirt from the seeder opener and you start getting a "Boogie" going on, which flaps the booms left n right.
Plus it's hard to keep it between the rows at those speeds and rather than taking out an entire row it's better to just go across them. Controlled loss if that makes sense.
So you just run over the crop without any concern for the crop or is that just part of the lose of growing and spraying
It’s a controlled traffic pattern. In January, March, April and May then the cut the wheat and plant the soybeans and spray in the sand pass in July and August. This method causes far less damage.
How does these chemicals affect the honey bees and other insects that spread pollen and use the nectar?
These chemicals affect diseases that grow on plants. When it comes to pollination, there is little affect. If it killed of the insects, you wouldnt have crops year after year.
Is matt an owner or a hired hand?
Hired hand. Hes an employee of the farm
I was wondering if any farms spray by plane anymore?
Many spray tasseled our corn here by plane.
DO ANY of the farm owners make a profit at the end of the harvest.? Seems to be $Millions tied up in machinery and drivers + equipment and sheds and silos.?
ROUNDUP??
No
The ride was too long I'll need a chiropractor now
What is the size of there fields? They look huge
Total they run about 13,000 acres
Duke there is 11K in wheat/beans and 13K in corn.
Jason this field is around 2,200 acres of ground in one block. Their biggest field is 2,800 acres. They have 11K in beans.
Wow I couldn't imagine that. That's over 4 square miles how awesome! That sure kills our 60@ field averages. Our biggest is around 300@
Hello
Hi
Your seat sounded rigid, unlike his
That is correct.
I tell people it’s a short term seat only, nice to have a visitor once in awhile , even nicer to see them leave 😃
I'd like to work with Matt
Matt is a good guy.
4940 John Deere
The 4940 has the same capacity of the R4045. This farm went from 4710s to 4920s to 4930s to 4940s to R4045s. I am hoping to see an R4060 next year.
We farm 95 000 acres
That is allot of ground. Where do Farm and what type of crops do you raise?
Graham Sobieski probably weed ....... don’t smoke it all
Let me guess ... 12 inches and you can go all night too right. Windbag!
Not very efficient roading a sprayer that far
electric adjustable mirrors in tractors and combines but not on a sprayer,i would get fired if i run that much crop down
It’s a controlled spray pattern putting the tires in the same spot each time to apply products on wheat in January, Mach, April, May and then on the second crop of soybeans in July and August. Minimal impact on the over all crop.
First
I appreciate your enthusiasm.
Seems like he kills a lot of plants by running them over
Exacty what Im thinking!! If he'd ran with the rows and straddled them there would only be damage on end rows
No I don’t smoke 🚭
John deere and its awful boom control😒
Every brand has it's benefits and flaws and that's why I hate these guys who say John Deere is the best Case is the best...
I have a bigger sprayer
What model do you run?
Poison the food but good vid.
Lmao they ain't poisoning anything. It protects it against disease
