i didn’t see a difference and that is why i chose not to go with precision this year plus it is like twice as much!ha

Ok. I thought since he was in your video maybe you were part of the same farm. You only run one 40′ over all those acres? What keeps you from going to a 24 row planter?

Last year I had one 12row and We used both mine and Southwest family farm’s 1720CCS 16row to plant our crops. This year we are going to try and do it with just two 1720CCS 16 row.

The reason we haven’t gone to a bigger planter is so we match up with our strip till. We strip 16rows and plant 16 rows. But, we harvest 12 row…for now. Keep hoping Deere comes out with a 16 row head. The pull type planters tend to drift off the strips especially in hilly ground. So we’ve stayed with the 3pt . I think we could go with a bigger planter and put a receiver on it to help pull straight.

Well, look at that – Rocky Ormiston could take a nap while the tractor does all the work… I remember when the day was filled with nothing but hot air, dust, and an occasional shout-out on the CB. Now THAT was real farming! (I wonder if my iPhone has an app for that too?)

@kittensniffles it was an old corn de-tasseler. Not really sure of a manufacturer. It looks like a Hagie to me, but not sure

name of first song?

It’s In My Blood by rodney clawson…not available yet except on his myspace page

Very beautiful video

Thats a good looking plane, 301 im guessing. Our we have a spraing business along with farming.

what is that implement you are using that goes inbetween the rows of corn at 7:51 called? i know its a type of cultivator, but who makes it?

No offence to anyone with this comment: I love the gps systems and all, but I hate how it takes the part of the driver out of the equation. I run old model John Deere tractors, and have done well without GPS. I plan on getting a new tractor when I have the money, but don’t know what all I’ll get on it. I still want the ability to run a lot of it. The gps is good though for planting.

How small of a tractor do you think you could get by with on one of these planters. I see Deere recommends 250+ hp. Seems a bit overkill to me. I was wondering if a 7920 would pull one with 500 gallons of fert. or so.

@redneckfarmer I really think that would be pushing it. It is a must to have the high volume hydraulic pump especially if your fert. pump is hypro or other hydraulic pump. With the CCS fan, Dual Vacuums, VRD, etc. hydraulic oil can get pretty warm if you don’t have sufficient flow. I would say it may struggle if you have any hills.

@southwestfamilyfarms That surprises me. There’s guys pulling 16 row 1770 CCS with fert. here with 8920 magnums and 8110 JDs. Not that they are runaways, but I figured carrying some of the weight would help. We need to eventually get to two 40′ planters and don’t really have a need for another 250-300 hp tractor hanging around the rest of the year at this point.

@redneckfarmer Hey nice video really like the irrigatior tire changer machine i wish we had one like that

Great video. What happened to the wheel on the pivot?

Im guessing thats a 16R30″ 1720CCS with 2x 50Bu Hoppers?

Thank you for your part in keeping America fed.

how much does one bag of that pionee seed corn cost

musgt be really boring to be a farmer in america

Lyrics correction: It’s not the money that keeps me ridin’ this auto-steered John Deere tractor haha not to hate but you could save yourself alot of tech fees and just drive straight, old-school you know?

@dieselsmoke2010
The tech fees are worth it and then some. Crunch the numbers.

The only thing that would make this video better would be if you had words pop up explaining what you’re doing or what you’re driving for those of us interested in learning about farming.

What is the machine at 8:00? A cultivator?
