We would like to thank Big Tractor Power for featuring our farm and our equipment in this CZcams video. We really enjoy showing our organic farming operation with everyone and attempt to educate the consumer in organic farming practices. Thanks once again from the Clearwater Farms family. We are looking forward to starting our own CZcams channel in the near future, hope you come check us out!
Nice
this is good. God bless you folks for not using chems and gm.
Incredible content! I'm the operations assistant at the farm you mentioned and we'd like to thank you for featuring our incredible pair! We sure love the job it does for us here at Clearwater Farms!
okay sir so this is where you work? what do you grow in this farm? i am really intrested in organic farming
That Case IH is sure is quite! Operator is in one of the best places on Gods earth. Well done!!
That Quadtrac sounds quiet and effortless pulling that big plow through some heavy land. Very impressive!!
😁👍
They are a Helluva Horse
Yup, she just a cruisin along, singin her song.
Marvelous, how’s your day going Michael ?
@@joshpitts7256 you’re right... my bother was most intelligent people in the world. Where are you from?
Big field, big tractor and a big plow, that is beautiful, thanks for sharing
😁👍👍
Amazing, amazing, amazing! That tractor’s engine never once changed in it’s sound as if there were no “tough spots” in that half mile long field. What tremendous power! I pulled a 2-14” plow with a 1949 Case SC and I thought I was, at age 8, big stuff. Of course that was in 1952. :)
It’s impressive how tractors have developed. The first tractor I ever got to ride in was a 1977 Case 2470 Traction King with a seven bottom Case 700 plow. In 1977 that tillage combo seemed huge today it is tiny compared to a Quadtrac.
I have a few tractors and plows a 706 German diesel and a 540 plow 4-14s
1206 and a 5-16s 550 plow or a 5-14s 70 plow
I love MOLDBOARD plowing great for breaking up compacted soil from years of No Till.
Indeed ... In many intellectual circles ... It has been rejected as the "Devil" but it does present a valid option for some of these difficult Summers where conditions were favorable for compaction . Good 2021 to you Caleb
In my area many huge farms have turned to Strip till ... In my opinon problems will show up later on after a cpl decades of that method . My neighbor's land is hard packed ... He dreams this strip huge heavy machinery will be the magical powder to his problems .
@@niniv2706 lol
Out of sight is never out of mind. How are you doing today?
These modern tractors are okay to watch, but the classic tractors have so much more character and for mw they are so much more interesting to watch.
When we broke all of our cotton ground with 6 - 20" john deere plows and had one 7 - 20" bottom on land plow which we pulled with all 4850`s MFWD . When I quit farming we was working 5,000 acres of cotton. That was back in the day !
Thanks for another great video. Plowing is on of my favorite jobs on the farm. We use a jd 8345r and a gregoire 8 furrow roll over plow on our farm
That sounds like a really big tractor too🌻
I love those case IH quad trac’s !
😁👍
I love it, you own any?
@@barbaratingey3648 no, wish I did !
@@rongrose3746 It will be a testimony year for us all, where do you live ?
@@barbaratingey3648 we are in the Indianapolis area.
Really like watching the videos like this with big high horsepower tractors and big plows nice to see how the dirt turns over from the plows
Nice
These plowing videos are therapeutic. 👍👍
😁👍
How are you doing?
I run a 9 bottom DMI hydra wide split frame pull plow on a 2001 9200 deere, and an 8 bottom deere 2800 onland on a deere 8760, and a deere 7 bottom 2800 onland on a deere 8400 across 700 acres of NHEL ground annually in Northern Ohio. I would love to own a Salford high clearance plow......maybe some day
Beautiful video Thank you for this.
Great videos thanks nice to watch those big tractors and plows turning over the dirt
Great video I have two brothers and a hand full of friends that work at the Salford plant pretty cool to see it in action
We used to have a Massey Ferguson 135 two bottom plow it was a nice little plow for what we had back in the 80s and early 90s
What a great plowing setup👍😁 love to see moldboard plowing😉👍
Good to know, how are you doing?
Barbara Tingley why tf are you commenting on everyones coments?
@@lileti2199 Does the affect your well being?
Barbara Tingley its just annoying
Tractors are red. Crops are green. Great vid and beautiful equipment.
Thank you for watching.
Can we see what he uses to break up the ground after the mouldboard
That quadtrac is getting it done. Impressive plow. Don't see that much anymore. Very cool!!!
Thank you for watching. Plowing is one of my favorite tillage machines to feature.
I don’t care much for buying organic produce but somehow I find organic farming intresting, would love to see more of this farm in the spring
One super large Ploughing set up!! Good video.👍
You must be from Europe. Every time I see plow spelled plough it looks like pluff to me or in this case pluffing.
That is bigger then I thought !!!!!!!!!😃
The last time I moldboard plowed was February 1979. IH TD14 crawler with 2 John Deere 6 bottom plows from the 50s. No trip beams or anything but replaceable parts. I'd already learned where the rocks were.
We plow with a Case IH Maxxum 145 CVX and a 5 bottom Lemken turning plow here in South Germany
I use this exact setup on fs19
Sweet
I actually just did some with this setup before this even came out on stone valley 4x
@@CraydenGamingOfficial oh your on pc then
@@smallengines1018 yup check out my youtube channel
@@CraydenGamingOfficial bet
Impresionante los recursos con los que cuentan los estadounidenses ,grandes extensiones tierra,grande maquinaria ,y gran tecnología.aqui en México la mayoría trabajamos con tractores de los 80s 90s
En fin
But you still get it done.
Excellent program
Thank you for watching Oliver.
I see a rough ride ahead after that plowed ground starts to get hard.
Winter snow will flatten it right out and mellow the furrows.
Still going to be a rough ride!!!!
@@bigtractorpower No way that will be smoothed out by freezing and thawing or snow. I want to see a video of the next tillage of the feild.
I thought the same thing! I was going to say I feel sorry for the SSOB that has to come back in the spring! Grab some ibuprofen!
@@trentw3614 That part of Michigan receives pretty extreme winters. The ground will freeze several inches deep even covered with snow. This field will mellow up just like your garden by spring after several freezing and thawing cycles.
Awesome 😍😍😍😍😍
Sure it us
Is*
Wow, it’s great that other farmers that have half a million tractors are also putting in the work other farmers did over 50 years ago!
Nice Video
Thank you for watching.
Talk about hardpan! Those aren’t rocks tripping those bottoms that just hard plowing.
Almost need a bit more horses there to.
It’s do make sense.
Where do you live ?
Our land here in Central Alabama has a hard pan too. We deep chisel, then use the turning plow. I notice in the video the soil appears to be somewhat wet and is "shiny and Slickn'" behind the plow. If looks like that here, we would have bricks!
Why do you need more horses? The tractor is running at low revs.
@@xuser48 you don’t plow with low rpms, that engine is laboring big time
If youtube could stream the smell of fresh dirt would be more addictive to watch these videos ;)
😁👍👍
great video
Now that’s a tillage team !!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
😁👍👍
It awesome to see your in my area of the world
Nice drone shots!
I’m ready for some great content around Farmal 1206’s, 806’s, 706’s, and 560’s...out in the field....ahhh, old school farming. I can smell those irons now!
Bads old tractor ,and has not horsespower a horse ( animal )is better
Good video, don’t see plowing like that anymore.
God the position of that exhaust stack bugs me no end - how are you supposed to see past something like that !
That ground sure has a lot of rocks in it to be tripping a double spring set up like that.
Great work by the driver and very smooth operation too.
Fantastic drone work as ever by BTP.
Your videos are so informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.
Thank you for watching. They are fun to make.
Good grief! That rig is doing crazy work. Would it be an option for the farm to do some deep ripping before winter and run a big disk over the field in spring? The field looks so hard that it seems beneficial to get a little extra depth from ripping. Also, the minimum recommended tractor at 490 hp for this plow would probably struggle a lot in that field. Fantastic video, thank you! :)
That’s some rig
A little late getting to the video but Alabama is playing for the championship so... Roll Tide Roll
😁👍
🤜🤛✊
Nothing like laying over slabs bet that's some low yield ground
I’m sure the ground is just fine it was dry and they plowed it and with all the snow that they have in Michigan in the field to be smoothed out by the time spring arrives
Liked it?
Michigan soil is some of the best soil in the world. It is prime agriculture land.
I ran a 1586 ih pulling a wil-rich 6-18" plow. Steered down the field with the brakes even with a full rack of weights out front.
Nice 👍
Great job.
Nice tractor congratulation
😁👍
I am from the old school. If I was row cropping for a living I would be all organic and full speed ahead with a plow. Great content. Take care and stay safe😀
😁👍. Thank you for watching.
Excellent drone footage !!!!!
XXL machinery! nice work
😁👍
That neat plow.
😁👍
I love this video. I wonder when this was filmed. No snow to speak of. At any rate thanks for showing.
It was filmed November 7, 2020. I post a new video every day and I am just getting into my November footage.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks for telling me.
Awesome
😁👍
nice video
I have seen 20 furrow reversable ploughing in the Ukraine with furrow pressing at the same time, the press is mounted on the plough, Kervernland makers of such large ploughs, beauty of using these type of plough is less compaction on the headland, the plough was pulled by a Versatile 610 on tracks.
I own a salford plow and if the points get dull they will trip like that. Be a big job changing them on that beast . Thx
A half day’s work?
@@jamesharber7820 With that setup of points probably. Rumstread points I believe. I have one smaller. Thx.
Impressive
Nice setup there.
😁👍
I just farm as a hobby and mostly do custom farming, but I moldboard plow with a David Brown Selectamatic 1200 and a 3 bottom plow
Very cool. David Brown -Case tractors are solid machines.
@@bigtractorpower yes indeed, David browns were basically the European case. I hope that one day you can find one to make a video about!
Sal Ford is keeping awake the flame with these long moldboard plows.Kverneland make still make them to.I thought the Quadtrac might be a 600 or 620 because of the 14 bottoms
550 hp is good sized. International and John Deere built 16 bottom plows in the 80’s. Those were pulled by 470 to 525 hp tractors back then.
I figured they used a team of horses or oxen on an organic farm. 🤣🤣
They have faith in liquid dinosaurs :)
What they save on chemical they pay 10x in fuel and labor. Organic farming. Making land that could feed 1000s feed 100s. Looks like these guys do it right. Many do not. Alot of organic farms look like wooly cup and waterhemp farms.
Nice idea, cattle’s, calf’s, soy beans, what’s your take?
I remember growing up in the thumb and riding along putting a 7 bottom plow. And though that was big. Now days it crazy on the size of equipment.
What brand of tractor and plow? 7 bottom was good sized. My neighbor ran a Case 2470 with a 7 bottom Case 700 plow. It seemed huge in 1977 when it was new.
Organic farming has fewer options than no till
Jason, thanks for another impressive video.
Looks like those bottoms trip too easily.
I'd like to see that being either a 14 bottom rollover or a switch plow for less passes on the headlands.
Thank you for watching. Salford builds a hood plow. It is tripping because the field has that many stones in it. They plow this field because deep ripping it would bring up too many stones and break too many points. I have a video on the way featuring a 10 bottom Kevenerland plow.
@@bigtractorpower Thanks for the reply.
Looking froward to seeing your video of the Kevenerland plow in action.
The dead furrow is going to be as wide as a dry river bed!
I did not show that pass but it cleans up the last pass nicely.
Seems to me it should only be a single furrow wide.
Would love to know more about this farm, with shelterbelts and commercial sized organics i'm very intrigued
Me too, do you live in a country side or city?
@@barbaratingey3648 I have 1000 acre farm with over 10,000 trees planted and a new river cleaning retention pond project just in and I’m looking to transition to a more natural commercial farm right away, studying Gabe Brown right now
@@piperdoug428 Good, trust, loyalty and honesty are the keys, how old are you?
Que buena maquinaria de la mejor de que país es
Any chance of revisiting this farm?
We still moldboard plow for winter wheat.. JD 4255 w/ 4 bottom JD 975 switch plow.
Immidiately thought of the Case 150 steamengine tractor pulling J.D. 36 bottom plough with 18 operators on top,this plowing a bit deeper though think?!!
Yes much. Those were antique 10 and 12 inch bottoms scratching stubble.
But this one is also going slow!
We run a dk55 with 3 14in bottom plows. We plant around 26 acres of corn
😁👍👍
A moldboard plow helping increase organic matter 😂😂, I’ve heard it all now
Between plant residue and spreading manure or chicken litter a plow will mix the soil well.
@@bigtractorpower when it freezes and the wind picks up the snow will be brown in the ditch. See it all the time when driving by plowed fields in the winter.
That quad track could pull a disk ripper probably twice as wide as that plow while actually reducing compaction instead of furthering it and would leave some residue on the top to drastically reduce wind erosion.
But it would not control the weeds as well
@@robertmarincic5697 tillage is a poor weed control strategy in the first place. You know what else is a poor strategy. Mold board plowing fields. Nothing like creating a hard pan and creating a recipe for massive amounts of soil erosion caused by wind and precipitation when there's no residue left on top of the soil to protect it. But I guess many of you are OK with all of your best soil and nutrients being blown into the nearest road ditch.
I need this for my garden
It will work it right up.
That's a big garden
We moldboard plow all of our ground here in minnesota
NOSSA QUE MANEIRO, JÁ AREI MUITA TERRA, MAS COM ARADO 3 DISCOS.
Hi Jason,
Wow, great video.
It's very rare to see such big equipment working on a organic farm 👍
There are some good sized organic operations. I hope to film at one in IL that runs two 24 row crop cultivators on Steiger 420s.
@@bigtractorpower wow, I hope to see that soon
show more on organic operations
Not many people still moldboard plowing. Nice video. Looks like a lot of clay in the soil there
Come to Europe. :-)
Everyone in europe plows like this, i dont know what are you talking about
@@lileti2199 most farmers here have gone to minimum till or no till
Yeah i know, moulboard plowing is only affective when done on operations smaller than 150 acres, atleast from my expiriences
Not in Europe.
Isso que é preparo de solo
A lot of action on the springs - what is it hitting?
The moldboards trip when they encounter a stone.
Ok after the plowing he gonna cultivate it? Looks pretty rough
Winter snow will flatten it right out and mellow the furrows.
So what is the swath they actually turn over?
Why you replace the original sound?
what is the actual width (feet) of the 8214? the salford site does not list it and I don't know formula to convert # of bottoms to physical width. pretty cool vid the soil turning always makes for a good one :)
It is cutting a 21ft swath set at 14-18.
@@bigtractorpower thank you I always wonder about that spec also but sometimes its hard to find
Often wondered with these big outfits, do they use a smaller plough to do the headlands?
Not that I have seen. This Salford has hydraulic steering so it can maneuver into corners pretty easily.
What kind of slippage is that tractor having
Zero
To all you fine gentlemen, here in the comments section of this video, the worry is about the bumpy ride on this farm come springtime. That would worry me too. If it were me moldboard ploughing-at least in this part of Michigan, I would have a moldboard plow that you could hook up a packer to--a hitchhike packer. That would level out the ground somewhat and be a far less worry about very bumpy fieldwork come springtime. At any rate as far as I am concerned, to each his own.
By the time winter is over it looks nothing like that. Rain and snow smooths it out
@@Encourageable You have a good point. I admit, I never thought of that.
I would like to see how they plowed the end rows
Unfortunately time did not allow for filming the entire field being plowed. They normally leave the boundary unplowed around the field and plow a square and back into the corners on each end.
What are the" islands" of unworked ground for?
I am not sure but as they are sloped I would guess rocky spots or too steep to farm.
Looks like future dust bowl to me
Not at all. The field has buffer strips and wind breaks. The new crops will hold the soil fine.
Where have all the birds gone that used to follow the plough?
You have to be close to water. The birds will there. Here is a verticals tillage video filmed near water with lots of seagulls czcams.com/video/RVeFGgXjv9k/video.html
Agriculture is always organic ... The misuse of the "term" organic implies there is a NON-Organic way of growing ORGANIC MATTER . The use of elements like Copper, Copper oxides, iron, sulfurs, soaps, adjuvants etc ... The list is simply to long ... Is precisely what farming is about ... The label organic does NOT make sulfamidaes and other elements MAGICAL .
All agriculture is organic ... The use of any and all elements for pest and desease control under an organic LABEL is the same thing as what is claimed to be ... Commercial .
Yes we operate a 225 acres SMALL family veggie farm and yes we grow commercially on a small scale . No Bullshit, Respect of our land, employes and customers . Questions ... Comments ... Welcome . No replies to ignorants or vulgar human beings . Thank you .
how do they finish the surface for seeding/planting? looks really rough after :0
Winter snow flattens and mellows the furrows. In the spring a field cultivator or disk with work it up well.
No auto steer ?
Are there specific advantages of a moldboard plough over a conventional plough?
Did you hear the comments in the video?
Mouldboard plow is the original plow bro
@@lileti2199 had to laugh at this question. By asking you learn.
Whoever gets picked to go over that field next is going to get beat up....that field is going to be rough, and plus you have all the undulations in it.
The winter snows in Michigan are heavy. This field will flatten and mellow out over the winter.
