Seems like a lot of work to raise organic crops. The price you get must make worth your time.
That's a lot of weight to that implement.
you might be fine with swapping the cultivator tines for a harrow type weeder, just let the sun dry out the exposed weeds it might be lighter that way and use way less power when u are not shifting so much soil for no reason
might just be too cold where you guys are tho and the weeds would just grow again
You can change your sequencing with orifices which may help you with lifting. You can’t change capacity but you can change when each cylinder actuates
What Brand Organic Seed Corn did you go with?
Hi from the uk
How many times will you cultivate your organic corn, is dad using gps,I didn't notice a receiver?
The fingers seem very close to the stalk.🇺🇸🗽🚜
The mounting brackets for the cultivator required modification, how did that work out ❓
what is track width on 8345 RT ❓ Too bad you must drive her some corn
Thank you! This was great, I appreciate seeing all the details and where the cultivator is most effective. It's a long way from a tractor mounted cultivator with front row crop tires! Much appreciated, Carson!! 🙂
Dang that thing looks heavy!! Do you plan on putting some sort of lift assist on it in the future?
We plant on raised beds so we have to be dead on like what y’all are doing…..
We use rtk on our bedder tractor and planting and just use a A+heading for the guidance line and it works flawlessly.
3:48 What is that dune in the background? Is that a soil pile or is that natural?
Autopath works great! We use it for spraying and harvesting, you guys will love it! Tried the vision camera before autopath for spraying and it did not work very good.
AutoPath was introduced for the 2021 production year, it's very new
To increase the capability for a cylinder, increase pressure for greater force, increase flow for higher speed.
Increasing pressure is done to increase lift capacity on the same size cylinder. Otherwise If your pressure is not changed then you will need to increase cylinder diameter. Leverage can be changed by keeping your lift arms short to the tractor. Maybe just a lift wheel while transporting to help?
Lol. Your dad when you describe how John Deere AutoPath will work: 'According to you."… You: "According to me … and John Deere." Yup that's what I do at work.. I will assert something and also say the vendor said it too. 🙂
dang how many rows that tool bar you talk of all the computer stuff and cameras and stuff would it not be cheaper to divide that bar into 2 and run 2 units cheaper
what are the little green plates abov the shanks for?
i haven´t ever seen somebody using finger weeders that late in such hight corn. here, finger weeders are used for tiny corn, quit after emerging. such high corn is just hight up with earth by the shanks to cover little weeds, which emerged afterwards underneath
As for your GoPro idea, just use an hdmi cable between the camera and monitor, very little delay. You could even buy a used GoPro back to the 3+ and get it really cheap.
So you spent over 1000 dollars per row for finger weeders and than 2000 for camera equipment. I think that paying for RTK would have been cheaper and have a faster return. Also, you're going to want to switch the reaction bearing oil in the those camoplast track frames to synthetic and throw a magnetic drain plug in the hubs. That much weight ok the hitch will decrease bearing life. Just my .02 cents. Sweet cultivator & tractor!
An 1151 vario mt would be perfect for that job with the 3pt that follows!
Totally agree with you with the camera stuff I’ve been looking for a long time and I cannot find anything that I am extremely happy with this is 2022 let’s get together
Losing all your moisture and now you get no rain.
Does the sun look super big to anyone else
another good vid. Dad is the best – "just get a bigger cylinder youngster"
Sorry to bother…is it time to post another one yet? 🙂 lol I just had a feeling, so I decided to write.
I know, you have the hard part and we have the easy part, so no pressure! And thanks for the great videos you post Carson! I'm not harassing you I hope!
I saw the video on big tractor power. What I wondered is with individual seed box control on a planter, can you skip planting your turn around areas on your end rows so you don't spend money on wasted seeds? Seems like this would be easy to do from a programing perspective. Design the layout of the field with repeating turns around every so many feet.
Look into a rv/truck backup camera with a 4 pin wire hook up. Very cheap and work great on our forage harvester. Great videos, you guys do nice work.
In one of your other Videos you mentioned compaction problems… and along the rows that bar will be ok, but you will make some memorable compaction imprints at your headlands. Any tractor with weight in the 3-point, is nothing other like an seesaw, where the rear axle is the pivot point, and the ammount of stuff in your weightbox tells a tale. When liftet, i´ll bet 80-90% of the total weight of the combo is in the first 3-4 ft of the Tracks. forward the rear axle. you should set the bar on a diet, or maybe think about 2 follow caster wheels And more preassure=More power at the cylinders 😉
Amazing a massive tractor can hold a line that accurately.
John Deere auto path works absolutely amazing!!! We farm by Lewisville/Truman area and we ran it this year and sprayed with it and it was absolutely unbelievable how well it worked!! Never once ran over any rows spraying at 12-15 mph.
