This kind of video is the reason I found the channel in the first place. You were showing monitor functions or something in that video, so this kind of thing is really cool for those of us who can't get in a tractor and figure it out ourselves. Also, the podcast is thoroughly entertaining and I'm loving every one. Thanks Zach and Becky!

What a change from when I worked on our farm in ND. We had John Deer 720’s and then the 4020’s. I really enjoy your video’s and all your activities as it brings back lots of memories. I like hearing how you solve the various issues and show people how a farm works. Keep up the good work. Go JD👍

WOW, well done video, a computer geek you have to be to farm with that equipment, my day growing up on a farm we had a 6' grain drill for planting oats pulled by a WD 45 Alis Chalmers. Anyone with a John Deere tractor was one that banged away on 2 cylinders

the technology in a tractor is absolutely mind blowing ,first field i ploughed 50 years ago a small tractor no cab and a 2 furrow plough ,hailstones rattling the ears ,hands so cold you could not feel them ,good old days ,no thanks ,now heated seats air conditioning and a tractor with a mind of its own tooooo much ologies to work out that systems ,great how you have it all worked out though ,fantastic video ,thank you from Bonnie Scotland

I would really like to see your farm in the fields perspective Zach, maybe a farm tour or map view like Farming simulator as a example to see where all your fields are located and what types of fields has the most rocks or best yields to give a better perspective of all the fields we have seen so far on your videos.

Very good. This brings back mostly good memories. My first tractor fieldwork was about 1964, when Dad trusted me with a Ford 9N to pull a drag harrow (perhaps 8 feet wide). It was important not to turn too sharply on the ends. Later, progressing into the early 1980s, the most complicated it got for me was using a JD 4840 with a Sidewinder cultivator. I still got nervous coming to the ends, since turning demanded quick action with the PTO lever, the 3pt lift, the steering wheel, and the brakes -- all while not destroying crop or turning too sharp! Between my time on the 9N and the 4840, i drove a Ford 900, a couple of IH M's, a JD B (hand-clutch), a JD 4420, at least three different JD xx30 models, a Case 830, and a Hesston 500 with a 14 foot hay head. These were for different farmers here in Central Nebraska. It was always turning at the ends that worried me! I look forward to seeing your video about programming the turnarounds.

That looks like a great pice of machinery, it simplifies the process of farming. It’s nice to see what the farmers do to keep our country in the food that we consume.

Welcome back!! Missed you for 3 days!!!

I love these un-cut videos!, we ned more, A LOT more! i want to see you combine with that go-pro mounted on your head, awesome video!

Zach the change in farming in the ten years is phenomenal let alone from the time when I was home farming in the late 60s early 70s, a lifetime ago we had a four row planter and a John Deere 730 Diesel which was great at the time. This equipment you have now is incredible.

Good perspective of running new 8xr and high speed Deere planter. Love John Deere equipment!

Pretty cool to see your perspective during all this.

I really loved it, i hope you do some more of these videos. I really learned a lot about driving a tractor, i hope one day i will get the chance to drive any tractor to be honest. I'm not a farmers son, i am a 26 years old salesman in digging equipment and still can't shake the feeling that i'm at the wrong job. I should do something with tractors i really do!

I can't wait to hear the review. I really think tracks are the way to go if you are worried about soil compaction after last fall when I bought a grain cart with tracks instead of wheels. I could just tell where the cart with tracks was and where the tracks with wheels was as we chiseled. 8R410 is big enough to do most anything I would want to do with it. Probably knock my head off when I findout what the 8R list for. Thank You Zach for the video.

That goes for the big Three , ford/ newholland ,case ih and John deere) mechanics and then added all the technology. Electric over hydraulic sucks period , there is no no "feel" for what is going on behind you. The over complicated transmissions that try to do your job for you, and all the the stupid wires and connections you have to check if something goes wrong, not to mention having to call someone to hook a laptop to it to figure out what is wrong with it and the software updates to keep using it . The older tractors were built for the long haul, the new ones are built for people trading them out before the warranty is up.
