Great Plains Turbo-Max 1200! Vertical Tillage in The Fall!
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 12. 2023
- Today we are using our new Great Plains Turbo-Max! We are testing how it works in a fall tillage scenario. Will it incorporate enough trash and increase organic matter! Will it reduce erosion compared to normal tillage practices? How appealing will the seed bed be in the spring? Let us know your opinions in the comments. Thank you all for watching!

Love the way you are using the land responsibly love the tractor too you and your dad are very intelligent men. Thanks for sharing
I see your not "flat-land" farmers, but you have adapted to your the terrain of your property ! hard working people who love their land and work with it!
Viewing from east central Alberta, Canada
Great when your dad explains farming techniques. Also, great to see father-son farming operations.
Father/Son twins.
JD got it right with the 7810's!. Plenty of power and agile for what it can do. Great video!
Looks like your doing a great tillage job , breaking down thise stalks , incorporating that manure in and improving soil structure , fertility and condition .Satisfying to watch and what a great asset the Great Plains will be in the coming years .Happy Christmas from Ireland .
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO GUY'S 😊
Looks like a great pc of equipment! Thanks for the run down and demo!!
Pretty neat seeing the Great Plains in action.
Good to see you and your dad explaining everything great video God Bless
I am a bit more old school and plough in the muck and trash this time of year and let the weather break down the soil , then in spring put the spring tine cultivator through it and you can plant , I love the look of these Great Plains kit , looks very well made and very strong and last for a lot of years , as you say there is no right way to do it , seems to me we do what it best for ourselves
Love my new hat!
Be prepared for a bit of custom work with that thing. The ones by us including my brother's are always in demand in the spring
Can definitely hear your tractor's working hard! Not sure about your neck of the woods, looking like a green christmas for Madison.
Nice to see some side hill farming 😊❤
Looks like it was doing a good job. You obviously need plenty of horse power on hilly ground. We have rolling hills here but these are chalk hills. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
And the other thing you have to consider is what soil type is in the area of fields that you are planting in as well as it differs in the area where you are farming as well
That is amazing footage! You can almost feel the ground being worked! Keep up the good work.
You guys have an impressive line of equipment for a small dairy.
Cool implement. I like all your tractors. That IH 686 is one of my favorites.
I used to do a lot of solid seed alfalfa like that tillage wise. Just knocked down the stalk in the fall. Hit it again in the spring we put down a treflan herbicide product. And usually got a good cutting the 1st year. I had to go back to conventional tillage though now that we do all corn acres... big carts and trucks. The turbo dill didn't do much for that. We actually had some of the very first versions of the original turbo tills and went over 8000 acres with one ahead of corn planter. Needless to say, we wore them out quickly lol
Great video as always, cant wait till the next
Wow!
All we had was an Oliver 2 bottom plow and we thought it was great!
Good to see this working. So hard to tell from just by watching from far away, but it did look like it was mixing things well. Thanks for taking us along.
Very nice tractor and tillage tool. Merry Christmas.
Nice looking job. You are right about there's no one way to work land on the conditions. Merry Christmas to y'all.
Nice work 👌 on our farm whe harvest the cover crop first in the spring, than put manure on it. Whe disk it Wans and then plow it, and seed it. Just a bit different on our organic farm in the Netherlands
That’s made in Kansas close to me!! They make good equipment imo!!
Love the turbo max demo, alot of farmers in my area use tillage lightly for manure spreading on wheat and soybean feilds ya see heavy tillage for corn cuz of the stalks if the stalks ain't used for bedding
Thanks for doing a video on a Turbo Max! We just got one and haven’t got to use it yet. We are going to do anhydrous applied bean stubble first this spring. We have been a long time no tillers and some of our flat black soils have a heavy residue problem.
👍 dzięki
Rock in roll 🤠🚜🌽chopping ground 🤠🚜👍. Nothing run’s like a Deere. 🦌🦌🦌 hahahaha 🤠😂🚜
From what I can see on that turbo tiller, depending on how fine you want to break up the ground, as to how many passes you need to make. Maybe try an overlap when you till to help break it up more?
I farm crazy steep hillsides like yours but on the Iowa side of the river. You couldn't pay me enough to use that tool in the hills. Fluffing the top 2" I the fall is a recipe for severe erosion. Pure no-till even with manure for me.
In my part of the country, VA, hardly anyone has a moldboard plow, let alone uses one. Offset disk or rippers are the rarely used primary tillage tools. We have mostly heavy clay, and many are 100% NoTil, except for patching ruts. Land has been farmed for centuries here.
I'm in Augusta county. We do some sub-soiling but mostly discing
90 percent of your crops come from a good seed bed. I plow or chisel 9 to 10 inches deep in fall to catch rain and snow runoff. Always works up like a garden that way.
Do you live in a very arid area? Where I live we would have massive gullies from the topsoil being washed away over winter.
We have been doing vertical tilage for years we got really rock soil so it help make less rocks to pick up we usually just till the corn stalks we don’t bale in the fall and do the rest in the spring we got really hilly ground as well seems like you get less wash outs that way and if you don’t get a good freezes the fall tilage makes it a lot harder to get around spreading manure in the winter
thank you
Looks to do a good job.
Surprisingly, the 7810's aren't that thirsty for what they can do all day.
We use a disc ripper for fall tillage and Two passes with the diggers in spring.
I Enjoyed The Video
Looks like quite the harrow
Do you Farm in Wisconsin? If so, where? You really have some nice land. You do a great job!
Maldbard plowing is our main tillage pass after that hevy harrow disc or powerharrow or for cover crops just disc in my area usuly is just fall maldbord plowing, ripping or just discing in springbl. But is usuly plowing
We still moldboard some and we got our own chisel high clearance so we started using it some we also got old drag highers and dics i would love to try one of them tillage machines like you got in your video coming from Pennsylvania here
Merry Christmas and God Bless
Some good looking soil there. Just scares this old no-till guy on those slopes. 😂 Thanks to everyone!
That thing looks awesome
I also like the old time plows
Was wondering why the European plows aren’t being used in America?
Would you be better off not running the baskets and leaving more rough area so you wouldn't get washouts during sping time? Love your videos and just thought I would ask that question sir.
Thank you
If you are going to hit it again in the spring. I would raise the basket?
I'm wondering how much effect the tillage tool will have on erosion? Maybe you could setup a control area where you just don't till an area.
Good luck with that.............The vertical till fad is passing in my area anyhow.
Where are you located and what is the reason for moving away from vt and what are farmers doing in place of vt?
@@billsauberlich7337 They are going back to more conventional tillage, the high cost of wear parts because of the high speeds in less than the best ground, more passes, and time/fuel to do so with VT do not make a ton of sense, and alot are finding they are building a good case of compaction with them on top of it from all the trips(Which should be common sense). I am in the middle of PA.
I had a 30ft turbo max i pulled with my 8400. Pulled it in 12th . Sunk
I bet that fuel gauge is dropping fast!
WOW Nice job. TILLER 👍(N.G.)
I would have done the same thing you did. Drop it down and incorporate.
Oh boy! I hate driving on hills!
had one traded it off for high speed case ih disc.
Seems do a better job at a deeper depth
Just keep an eye on those rolling baskets if a rock gets in those it will stop the basket then you will have a mess trust me it happened to me ounce.
You guys should put the 1066 on it and see how it pulls it.
It would work the tractor pretty hard I believe
You think your 1066 would handle it if you put the duels on
With that piece of equipment now you need to get a bigger tractor now the cycle begins just kidding
Better off running a straighter angle on the gangs and faster than steeper angle and crawling like a disc
Send that deere packing and get an international 5488 that will do 5x what that deere does
Every 1 inch is a 1000 ton an acer !😢
