- Finished up the first food plot this season, Used the RK by King Kutter 6' Cultipacker behind the RK 37 Compact Tractor, We will check back after a few rains and see how this plot is growing, The cultipacker helps push the seed down a little for great soil to seed contact. We Planted Sorghum, Soy Beans, and Cow Peas.
Nice!! always nice to sit back and look at a job well done!!👊
I must have been a farmer in a previous life, I find myself drawn to these videos.😁
Yes, I'm convinced the wrong family brought me home from the hospital after I was born. I was meant to live on a farm.
A cultipacker is my next implement. They are pretty much a must for food plotting👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Mike! Another great video. Love the music choices! Excellent soil and a beautiful food plot!
Great background music, too... Always looking forward to your videos.
I've been really busy but glad I found some time to spend outdoors with the Morgans.
Makes it easy when you got all the right tools
It's great to have all the gear to do all this work!!! Looks like the tractors and accessories are all working well!!!
Well that looks good Mike it will be nice watching and harvesting a nice deer from that plot.
Looks great, and that’s half the fun, right? Thanks for the video, Mike!
I spotted a tractor at my neighbors today. We share a driveway. So its easy to see what's going on next door. Turns out our neighbor sold is house without us knowing it. The new owners were at least borrowing the tractor. I said, Is that tractor from Rural King ? Something along those lines. Sure enough, it's is an RK 55 with all the deluxe features. He said it had about 10 hours on it. That yard was so "junked up", it probably got about 10 more hours today LOL. I was truly amazed by the work it had done last time I looked. That was earlier on in the day. I guess there is 2 acres of land over there.
The deer must really love you guys!
Have great weekend Mike
Looks like the cultipacker works well. I am putting in a plot of whitetail imperial clover this weekend I have had great luck with it in the past. I mow as low as possible then till, spread the seed and fert then drag an old piece of fencing over it to set the seed. Great video thanks for sharing.
Mike, I am sure you are going to do this. Please show growth updates on that food plot. You guys did a great job. Let's see what mother nature does. :-)
oruwatching, yea it's up to her now lol
Mike I took your advice today and bought the super compressed straw from TSC. I'm
About a month late planting grass seed for the south but hopefully it will mature enough to survive our summer! Thanks for the tip I will buy one more tomorrow and finish this project!
The Blind Hunting Tower will be extremely well equiped. My computer is telling me I misspelt equip but I know because I have a hardback dictionary next to my desk. The music once again is beautiful. My thanks to the Morgan Family.
Neat trick I see some guys doing is to gang the disc and cultipacker together with bolts and brackets. In some cases the guys have even welded them together. Usually thats for small seeding like timothy alfalfa etc etc or just before a drill is brought in.
Looks good Mike.
Hey Mike, I suggest for your next project that you build an equipment shed down in the woods to store the tractors and accessories. My impression is that you store this all in your garage at the house. I may be wrong, but I've noticed you moving tractors, etc. out of the garage. I enjoy watching your videos.
Oh thats the plan, Lots to do all the time, I have a list of about 20 projects that I want to do and thats one of them. Not enough hours in the day to get it all done right now but it will happen
Looks link you will get the rain to sprout that patch 👍😎
beautiful here in Youngstown NY high of 80 over the long weekend. great job. first, you were leaving tire tracks but you must have given it more down pressure. when I work at cwm which is the chemical waste management here on Bomer road where all the bombs were made at the old Nike base and one of the TNT factories we had a packer that we put solid concrete blocks across to add weight. I know its just a deer wild nature deer plot but come on mike step it up .... lol I'm just nitpicking and busting your pork chops
Mike, the compact cultipackers like that work a lot better with weight on them. The frame for most of them is built to easily accept weight, just build individual wood boxes out of plywood that sit into the top of the frame, then fill them with quikrete. It makes a difference. That's a good lookin' food plot, BTW, I'd give anything to have ground that wasn't 75% rocks!
Python 357 I’m ignorant in regards to tractors. Is this attachment connected to the hydraulics, if so couldn’t the hydraulics apply more pressure to the soil or make added weight ineffective?
You’re referring to hydraulic downpressure at the rear hitch. Most tractors don’t have it. The only downward force on Mike’s cultipacker is the weight of the cultipacker itself. .
Python well done for noticing that it needs the weight, you are so right, the rolls should leave a smooth even surface with the grooves, it's also worth Mike removing the front loader as you want as little weight on the tractor as you don't want grooves left from the wheels where rain water will sit preventing the plants from growing. So Mike sometimes when farming you have to focus on one job and no multitasking. As always though good video.
So I drove by your truck with the sticker on it on the NYS thru way. Not regretting subscribing!
Mike, get Rural King to throw in a Quick Attach for you 3 point hitch. Just installed one on my Kubota and kicking myself for not having one sooner. Nice job on the videos. Keep them coming. Installing my Grapple today. Wish me luck.....
Good Luck!
Nice job Mike.im amazed at the lack of rocks.we re loaded with them here in ne pa
Nice 👍
I think some added weight on the cultipacker would have helped a lot. If you have to keep making multiple passes, you just as soon pack it with the tractor tires.
Nice and hot here in Oklahoma. Heat index today about 95°.
i don't have a cultipacker so i use a drag harrow it works out pretty good
Great job, Mike but what do you mean, "if we get a little rain". That seems to not be a problem. I'm in NH and thanks to the jet stream, after its done dumping on PA it heads straight to NH so I don't think rain is going to be a problem. I'd like to have a few dry days strung together. I'm working on a swingzebo with pavers and a fire pit in the center and it would be nice for the area to stay dry for a while.
Thumbs up
Good video. Put a little weight on that cultipacker it's high centering.
The Kubota is going to be jelous !
Another great video Mike. Any chance your drone is still serviceable? Be nice to get an overview of your current projects from a birds eye perspective so to speak. Thanks.
She is down for the count, I keep saying I'm going to get a new one
👍👌
Dumb question. Are all three seeds mixed together or several individual rows of each seed. Love your videos!
All mixed
We spend half the time knocking rocks out of the tiller with a hammer where I live. That's some great looking soil! How will you get irrigation out to the food plot?
Mother Nature must take over now
Nice having new equipment. You can just go without having to work on it first! Jealous
Good job!
Last year was the first time I helped put in a food plot. This year we will likely do it all ourselves and try to duplicate last years results.
Ive been researching more eco-freindly food plots and really am drawn to Dr Grant Woods food plot system using cover crops. He uses a minimum of chemicals. Ive been reading about multi species cover crops that are rolled for termination and then a second crop is drilled into the remaining biomass; the goal being to feed the critters 10-11 months of the year. Have any innovative plans for organic or more eco freindly food plots?
Hey Mike,....I noticed that the Cultipacker is actually a row of discs and I imagine this make for better rolling action, but I was wondering, what does this unit weigh?
Bunk again know
?
Sp would you suggest the shuttle shift or the hydrostatic....and the kubota or RK37. im looking at purchasing my 1st tractor. Wife and i just bought 21 acres and i want to put in driveway and clear some brush out of woods. the land os about 50/50 wooded and field
question: I used my cultipacker before and after seeding fescue on a 3 acre pasture. now I need to re-seed some thin spots and some bare spots. should i use the cultipacker for the re-seeding, or will it hurt the existing turf?
Would you estimate that to be about 125 yards long? Hard to tell distances from the camera. Looks like a future game camera site.
Just under 200 yards long, I know that because I missed a coyote across there last year lol and checked it with a range finder after the fact
goo chiose on the food on the food plot
Would it be productive to add weight to the rack as to push the seed a wee bit deeper?
Yes
How do you like the RK 37?
How are you going to water that?
I've been complaining a out rain for months but hopefully we get some on and off showers
Heavenly showers!
Hey mike, food plot is looking awesome!
Looks good Mike.
