Pilot multiple Rated, both sides family have farms. Though Southern side is a massive operation, vs CO grains of only 448 acres. But my favorite of all equipment young was ofc THE BIG DADDY 8850! Which this, the 9R series I'm assuming the new version w/Trax system which doesn't damage fields as much. Is what I was told, when I 1st saw them. - most harvesters whether Cotton/Cane or Wheat/Barley are done by GPS. Drive to field, push a button and the equipment does the vast majority of work. Human is there to mainly maintain If something goes arwy. - Respect both sides, it's not an easy job, easy way of life. Like Trucking big Rigs it's also incredibly expensive in a World that wants A lot for nothing.

My father adored the fall plowing season and just loved looking back at that dark, rich soil going to rest after a long harvest season. And it was moldboard all the way. Great memories of what that looked like.

I grew up working a farm in central Indiana. Mostly driving a 1980 John Deere 4440, either pulling a grain cart in the fall or plowing. It could only pull a 4 bottom plow but it would pull it well and all day long. My favorite job on the farm too. It had a front loader attachment and when I plucked a rock out of the ground, I would put it into the bucket and dump in the fence line each pass. What I discovered was the more weight was in that bucket, the better it would pull. So I just left them. When I shut that thing off at night the exhaust manifold was glowing bright red. Great memories. How can a kid grow up without that kind of experience? lol

As you are organic and not using herbicides shouldn't the plow bury all of the weeds to kill them? There looks to be a lot of weed on the surface to re grow.

Reflecting on the past when the University of Illinois conducted their study, it's fascinating to learn that moldboarding can increase yields by up to 20%. Disking, unless it's a deep cross-cut disk, seems ineffective. The key was going 14 inches deep with moldboarding, often with older equipment like the JD730. Regularly turning plant matter into humus was crucial for enriching the soil. It's incredible how these techniques, rooted in tradition, continue to shape modern agriculture and our understanding of soil health.

That's just one of those one in a million deals Ethan. Thats no one's fault. I love your videos because they're about real situations that make up real life on the family farm.❤

Back in the day when the university of Illinois did their study you can average 20% better yield by moldboarding, discking is a useless implement unless it's a deep cross cut disk. But you should get 14inches deep on moldboarding, but back in the day it was a jd730 twisted up smoker and a 3 bottom rollover every year,you have to get the plant matter down to turn into humous, that is how you build your soil.

in the netherlands most organic farmers don't plough, or just like 6 inches deep.. and we want the residu to be under the ground, here we got revolving plough's

I love that black dirt

I totally understand your passion for moldboard plowing. It is a task I miss a lot it was 25 years ago since last time. Especially opening and closing the fields setting the plow so that all residue is turned down. My team was a Ford 9700 and an Överum 6 furrow plow😢

I love farming so much I want to be a farmer.

Here’s a question. Doesn’t plowing pull up new weed seed? Now maybe this is a question from a different type of farmer (small vegetable farm), but we have been testing this for 6 years now since initially plowing up the grass and we can definitely see a difference in weed density between pictures from then and what we see now in our pumpkin patch. Thanks in advance. And cool video love watching plows just wondering if this is an issue that other people have thought about and curious to hear maybe whether it’s different for big grain farmers or what peoples opinions are in general

If you plough properly with a good plough you should be turning the weeds under. This video shows just how bad it can be, and I'd say in this instance it's not ploughed it's disturbed, so you're going to get weeds. Imo.

Nice sim setup mate! looks real to me. What realistic mod did you use?

The video "First Day Of Plowing! The Best Job On The Farm" captures the satisfying start of the plowing season, showcasing the joy and importance of this fundamental agricultural task.

We call the Furrow - " Voar Line " , Very impressive plough ,but to call it a Plough or "Plowing " the object of the exercise is to Bury the rubbish , quite honestly it looks "cultivated " . The Tractors & machinery is very impressive , dont like Deeres , prefer our Masseys ,but each to his own . Thank you

Plowing🔥🔥

Just looking at the furrow you're leaving, why isn't it a nice clean cut furrow without dirt falling back in. In my days of plowing we were going down 10-12 inches and it left a satisfying clean furrow. A lot of plowing videos I watch, they aren't going very deep and seem to always leave a dirty furrow. But I have to agree, plowing is satisfying and fun to utilize all the power the tractor has. Amazing how little its done now, probably due to the need to reduce costs .. .tractor wear and tear and fuel costs. Its weird to see planting into no-till fields. Enjoyed the video just the same.

Ask your children where their food comes from and then let them watch many of these farm videos. If they're intelligent, they will understand. What a farmer does in modern day

You are in the right ball park with your comment Tom, just look how much trash is on each of the plough legs there s no wonder the soil is not being properly inverted. Also I think the plough is set too deep and has a lot of the soil breaking over the top of the mouldboard which is causing the amount of surface trash. Maybe the winter weather will kill off the surface green matter but if it does not I can see a problem with subsequent operations ie planting ,seeding etc.

Plowing is the best.

Why not till across the lines or diagonal of them? Does it improve soil?

We plowed our land under every 4 years. Just like you I couldn't wait

Always the first plow in a field do it slower and not deep so you won't make that hump in the middle.

It shouldn’t be about revs when ploughing . You need to use lower revs and more torque. It will give the engine a chance to work properly and give it a good workout to keep it clean.
