We don't do fall sub-soiling down here in georgia because when we plant we one pass our crop with a ripper bedder or strip till and planter rig all on one pass. Mainly because our soil is mostly sandy type soils so compaction is not a big problem
We farm in east central Missouri in the Missouri River bottoms and all of our ground will get ripped in the fall. We run a John Deere 8430 with a 915 7 shank v ripper and John Deere 9400 with a 2700 ripper. This fall has been a very tough fall for ripping due to wet conditions and thick black dirt. Thx for all the great videos and keep up the great work.
We work in the fall with a case 315 and a 7 schenck chisel plow. In the spring we work with a Deere 8100 and a Deere cultivator and crumbles,to prepare the seedbed
Haven't used our 2500 inline ripper since 2013. Honestly have lost faith i broad acre deep tillage in our clay soils. I think this winter-summer I'm going to reconfigure the 2500 to address tramline compaction caused by years of controlled traffic farming on our heavy clay soils. I think using a narrow non winged point to cut a trench through compaction and following with our soil warrior strip-till units will help alleviate some of the issues we're seeing in specific places.
Frozen ground here normally only last a few hours. In January when the ground will freeze a bit over night is when farms spray wheat with nitrogen. They will spray from midnight till sun rise before the ground starts to soften again.
Thanks for inspiration,thinking of building one myself of these rippers for my MF 9240.I refuse to believe that my less powerfull tractor is not able to pull same size ripper,but maybe I will be wiser when tried in practice,only one crop per year here in DK possible plus N collectcrop in fall,but maybe climate change will change that in future,maybe will just use ripper some years,cause if its a dry year,soil will not be so hard compacted.Can see that Case recommends 28-38 hps per shank.A tractor with 3 point hitch can pull more compared with tractor with same hps without,because of implement weight and downforce to tractors rearwheels.Thank you,
BTP, have you thought about doing some videos of the larger crawlers deep ripping in California? I think that would make for an interesting concept because here we use Cat D11’s to deep rip for new orchard plantings because it opens the lower layers to allow the tree roots to take. Let me know if you are interested in this at all.
I personally think sub soiling is one of the best practices you can do. Takes time yes but, as far as compaction, and get that moisture into the ground unbeatable.. do think they need to run them deeper though. Should see a wave along the ripper not top soil getting mixed.. a sub soiler should barely leave any of the top soil being distributed. Run it deep, once you see the land start to look like a wave on land and just the streaks from the shanks you got it. Ps I know that what she said lol Running shallow from my knowledge you are creating another hard pan.. that's the point of a subsoiler.. lift the ground and fracture.. been alot of studies done on it, and going shallow is honestly worse than not doing it at all.
@@randymessinger6061 That's true but it seems a bit strange all that money spent on that tractor but the neighbours tractor in the next field is probably putting a plume of black smoke half a mile into the sky!
@@martingardener90 Dealer told me the smog junk has added over $30K to the price . My CVT380 at 85% engine load uses 12 gallon of D.E.F./day. That 620 ? 20 gallon? $50-$60 a day. When production ag uses 3% of Diesel in the U.S. do you really think it's practical ?
@@randymessinger6061 Yes , it's very lop sided approach when the west is a least trying to cut emissions and China is putting out more every day. I was surprised about the price of your Diesel as here in Northern Ireland ours is about 43pence a litre which is about $2.22 a US gallon.
must be a lot tougher soil in Kentucky. Over here there are a couple different farms who have case ih 2500 rippers. Both are eight shank with lister plows added to them. One guy uses a jd 8235r to pull his, the other uses either his 235 or 290 magnum.
Here they usualy subsoil every 3 years or plow/subsoil for the spring crops and in the spring they use high speed disks(witch is not recommended) It's better to use a kompaktor or a powerharrow
This is why they are doing sub soil tillage. They are mainly only breaking up the dirt under the top soil so you have less wind and water erosion. Here in central iowa where we have heavy black dirt we do regular ripping which goes less deep but also turns over the top soil as well. The process we commonly use here both loosens the soil and also mixes the plant litter back into the soil. Rotating from corn to soybeans each season ensures a better balance of nutrients to the opposing crop being planted.
I read a study years ago that it increases the crop yield 15% from a University. I'm thinking Ohio but not sure. Probably more with the compaction of those heavy tractors these days.
2015 fendt 930 on a 6-30 2510 landoll. Another 2015 fendt 930 on a 5-30 case 2500. And then a Johndeere 9520rx pulling the jd 2100 9-30 minimum till ripper
Not yet. With the virus issues this year allot of new tractor production has been slowed up this year and my local dealers of all brands are seeing delays in new orders across the board. Hopefully in 2021 more new iron will be rolling in the area.
Love the rippers and the shattering of the ground they do. However, I think it would be interesting to check the actual depth in various places, not the really hard places, but across the field in various places. Thanks, great job as always!
from uk gentlemen stop debating different Technics in different areas each part of your states and country are worked out over 70 odd years of practice do your own bit stop looking over the fence ok
RAY pitts I say look over the fence and try to learn and improve from other experiences. You are right though farming is different in different areas. Farming channels really show this.🇦🇺👍
No, they just go one direction. Typically you rip at 5-7° in relation to the row. That way you are always uprooting all of the previous root system as well as loosing up all the compaction.

How many are enjoying BTP videos every day?? Thank you Jason for your hard work. All of us appreciate it!!👍👍
Thank you Scott. BTP is concourse to have released 360 new videos in 2020.
Incredible
I like seeing multiple seasons of field work in one video. Like from fall tillage,spring prepping,planting then harvest.
That was a great video. Explained a lot about farming this non farmer could understand. Thank you.
Thank you for taking us through the cycle. A lot of work and time goes into taking care of the soil that we depend on.
Hit the like button before I ever watched the video because I know it's going to be good 🚜👍
Excellent video big T 👍👍👍
Nice to see the farming year in Western Kentucky...
That is a vary cool tractor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🚜

Case is my favorite tractor company!!!!😃
That Row Crop Case 470 looks like the guys at the gym that never work their legs. Chicken 🍗
Lol
Great video. Love how you went over the years process and explained it perfectly.
Awesome show of power and workmanship !!!
It's only a two row subsoiler behind my John Deere 4020 but I'm going to be out there this year needs doing. Thanks for your video I enjoyed it.
Ripping puts those big tractors to the test
That was some hard dang ground.
Excellent explanation with very nice machinery in this video!
Great video as always 👌
We work in the fall with a case 315 and a 7 schenck chisel plow. In the spring we work with a Deere 8100 and a Deere cultivator and crumbles,to prepare the seedbed
That headland near that building looks hard as a driveway. Amazing what that big equipment can do without breaking a sweat.
Nice to see all red equipment in this video, thanks for sharing Jason.

The one good side to having severe frost up here is that we dont have to rip very often, our frost can reach 6ft down.
@@ducewags we run cattle water lines at 8ft to be safe
Frozen ground here normally only last a few hours. In January when the ground will freeze a bit over night is when farms spray wheat with nitrogen. They will spray from midnight till sun rise before the ground starts to soften again.
Frost doesn't always take care of all the compaction. It helps. But certainly doesn't do the work of say the sub soiler.
It’s fascinating how much farming techniques vary across the United States.
Nice 😍😍😍
For moisture collection ? Break up the hard pan that's my guess
Great job thanks.

Sub soil in the Fall so the frost will do even a better job of breaking up hard-pan/compaction.
Love all the RED equipment 👍
Hi Big Tractor Power 👍
Could you make a video on a case 600?🤔 They are my favorite case tractor.
Amazing that the Silencer ( Muffler ) Cat/Dpf is now the size of the average engine !
A muffler for that 620 costs over $10,000. But you don't see any smog in that field.

Big fields.....big tractors!
I like the old red power but the new red power ain’t bad either. The quads look like a smooth ride. They are getting a workout pulling the rippers
Need to hook your ih tractor to this equipment and get a video.
Very interesting video😁👍 that is some hard soil😉
620hp - that is a ton of a tractor. Holy.
Here they usualy subsoil every 3 years or plow/subsoil for the spring crops and in the spring they use high speed disks(witch is not recommended) It's better to use a kompaktor or a powerharrow
Doesn't the soil ever get burn out from them not letting it rest?
There isn't much diversity in this operation. The big chunks coming up from the ripper really show how bad the soil is.
This is why they are doing sub soil tillage. They are mainly only breaking up the dirt under the top soil so you have less wind and water erosion. Here in central iowa where we have heavy black dirt we do regular ripping which goes less deep but also turns over the top soil as well. The process we commonly use here both loosens the soil and also mixes the plant litter back into the soil. Rotating from corn to soybeans each season ensures a better balance of nutrients to the opposing crop being planted.
They just replace the nutrients that are harvested with fertilizer so the soil should be about the same every year
Not to mention all the additional trips made by the fertilizer and herbicide applicators.
Nice👍

What was on the back of the center of the planter, you can also hear it making a noise? around 10.01 of the video

Nice tillage line up.
Case ih qaud tracs don't create compaction do they? Great video jason
Ripping always finds any weakness in a unit. 👍. Definitely makes them earn there keep.
Two different quad tracks and rippers here. Hard to catch that
Ground looks harder than Chinese arithmetic.good job.
That soil is damn hard
Have you seen any 400 case ih magnums out in the field?
Not yet. With the virus issues this year allot of new tractor production has been slowed up this year and my local dealers of all brands are seeing delays in new orders across the board. Hopefully in 2021 more new iron will be rolling in the area.

Do you rip both directions ?
No, they just go one direction. Typically you rip at 5-7° in relation to the row. That way you are always uprooting all of the previous root system as well as loosing up all the compaction.
Can't see anything out left of cab with big exhaust system.
You hardly notice it when driving, its tucked behind the A post.
How deep he going? (That's what she said?!)
What ever happened to an old fashioned plowing the fields and then disking them?
Yo
No wonder the soil is all worn out.
They thing needs a full delete and roll coal. The muffler is the size of a fucking refridgerator
no soil health practices taking place here... how sad, soil health=human health
What soil health do you want to see? The residue is all left on the surface from the harvested crops and it going back on the soil.
