how deep are you running your shanks? Great footage on the soil warrior. We are firm believers in strip till and just upgraded from our 16R30 Kuhn Krause Gladiator to a custom 24 row bar that we had built. Hoping to be able to pull the 24 row at 70-7.5 mph running 7 inches deep with a 9560RT that's turned up to 670hp. Great video!

we are in our 4th season of strip tillage. seen years its better than conventional and others its not as good, averaging the yrs out it looks to be the same. Just my opinion but if your looking only for the yield advantage you could perhaps consider changing your perspective on it. The benefits are not necessarily yield. For our farm the benefits are 1, its faster than ripping ground in the fall and than making a pass in the spring with a digger. 2, no more application costs to the local elevator/applicator. 3, after 2-3 years you will notice your ground swallow water up much faster after rains. June- July if we get an inch-2 inch of rain we are able to go the field a day sooner with the sprayer than the neighbors because our farms are pulling down more water faster. also able to plant our strips a day or so before the neighbors can get there diggers in to work the fall ripped ground. more we do strip tillage, more im convinced tillage makes more compaction than we think it does. 4, also we got rid of both our four wheel drive tractors when we went to strip til. do about 1000 acres of strip tillage each fall with a 12 row machine on a 8345rt takes about a week for one guy. Gotta give it 3-4 years without working the ground with conventional tillage to really begin to see the benefits just my opinion. Great videos look forward to watching more!

Tillage man Sam showed millennial farmer a John Deere version of the soil warrior in latest video. Looks like there is a partnership there forming with the two companies and I assume the green version will be more integrated with JD monitors/tractors?

If you go into strip till with a negative attitude, it will fail because you are looking for any reason for it to fail. You need to be looking at how to make it succeed. You might need to make adjustments as you go. My family has been strip tilling and banding fertilizer in the strip for 25 years. In high yielding soil with good fertility, you will not see a yield benefit from strip till necessarily. In average soil with low fertility, you will definitely see a yield advantage with strip till and banding. Over time with strip till/no-till, you will see that the water holding capacity of your soil will greatly increase. This will show up in dry years. You will out yield growers who till by about 30 bu/ac in corn. If you switch to strip till, I recommend in-line ripping your whole field the first year and then in-line ripping your end rows for the first 3 years. This will hopefully eliminate any compaction from tillage.

Lots of good info there. Always wanting the new stiff we try to succeed. The ground we are trying this in ground that’s had all kinds of tillage practices on it including an in-line ripper. It will have to show a yield advantage to stick around to justify the time and expense spent on it. Just hope there’s not a negative yield effect like I’ve heard from two people that tried one this spring. We have a couple test from this spring with a shank machine but have only harvested one and it was no difference. It does make sense to me that the biggest advantage would be in a dry year. Where you from?

I have a 60’ with N knives, 600 Steiger. I work in hectares but it equates to 44ac/hr. Fyi

Maybe I haven’t got to the video or I may have missed it but can you introduce everyone and tell how everyone is kin? I just found your channel a couple days ago. Keep up the good work.

Seriously look at a Montag fert box if your gonna strip till. Feed rolls are all stainless steel. Very accurate. Also add a hiniker row flow monitor. It will tell you if you have a plugged line. Those strips look pretty flat for fall almost too flat. Not a fan of soil warrior here. Just my $.02
