Hi Josh, Good morning from Ontario, Canada. This is an amazingly informative video. I like the way you explain things in detail as you go through. That Woods machine sure is something. Great thought process on the multi species idea fir variety for the animals. Up here in Ontario we obviously have colder winters with tons of snow so our type of seed is different, but the concept would be the same. Thanks for the lesson and the effort it takes to produce your videos. 👍

That drill was a great investment for your farm, excited for the results and I bet the cows are too. Wooo!

Gotta love those John Deere tractors. Beautiful fall weather, same here in Eastern Canada.

I would call this no till. Appears you are only disturbing the thatch layer and the top soil surface. No in ground root disturbance. Great video. Thanks.

Really enjoyed the video Josh thanks so much for sharing, you always put a smile on my face, what a great way to spend my Saturday morning sitting out on the back porch whittling and watching one of my favorite KZreadrs. God Bless yall stay safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Woo 🙂

You are getting it done the farm is looking great I have been seeding myself and it's working great using The same things your doing that's Josh 🇺🇲 I watch all your vlogs 🇺🇲💯 WOOOOOO 🇺🇲!!!!!!

Enjoyed the detailed overview. Hope the seed germinates well!

this is exactly what i’m in the process of doing on my farm right now. these videos are incredibly helpful. Thanks, brother! gonna go grab some merch or something to pay for the free advice.

You do make wonderful choices for your farm Josh 👍

awesome vid. thx for your hard work

Love the way you teach Josh. Thanks for all the great videos.

Nice tutorial here👍👍👍 Have a blessed beautiful day🍁🍁🍁

I appreciate your videos. Always informative.

Looks like a very versatile tool!

Great informative video and cool beard Josh.... watching from Ndola Zambia 🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲

The farm is looking great , those cows will love those different grasses .

Love your approach...

thanks for the video.

Love your T-shirt and your channel!

Nice way to teach us about seeding. Thanks.

Even Mr. Suburbanite here knows that cows are not grain eaters. Modern battery farms force their cattle to eat grain, but then they are also fed antacids to ease the digestive difficulties. Your plan, while expensive up front, should create a profitable situation in the future. Your thinking is impressive.

I use clover just because it looks great in the back yard. I planted 10 feet and now it has taken up most of the yard. In Arizona anything green is great.

At one time, not too long ago, I might add, the little Massey you have would have been the do all on farms of 500 acres, and more. As a kid in the late 60's, early 70's, it seemed every farm you went by there was a Massey 35 doing the work. I still remember the first time I saw a Ford 3000 or 4000, in 71-72. I have never forgotten that first blue tractor, and have always wanted one. I will someday come across one for sale, and acquire it, just to regain a bit of that little boy in me. lol

You should someday get a new holland 6640 with cab those are built like a rock

Your farm is beautiful.

I like your shirt the words on it are so true

A Woooooo!!!! for the algorithm! I believe the spiked rollers are called "Aerators" for those tech manual junkies lol. Cool machine SRF, I could put that to work for a few days for sure.

We had a Land Pride drop seeder, similar style. It wasn't bad, but Erik thought a no till drill would be more effective. Ours only had 1 box, so you are lucky to have so many boxes! We used ours both for overseeding and planting into tilled ground. Overseeding seemed good, but for new seeding we found that we had to double our seeding rate for really nice first year growth. We ended up selling ours, going to rent a no till drill and see how it goes :)

@@This1LifeWeLive I had to order a new land pride seeder this spring. It is the same thing you had but it has a small seed box added on the back. It was $8500 and I had to Waite two months to get it. I am glad I got the small seed box because small seeds like timothy and alfalfa are hard to control the rate of in the main seed box.

Cool video Josh. I could use one of those. 👍👍👍❤️

Yep...we got almost 6 inches!!!! AHHHH!!!

Speaking as a long time equipment guy, not knowing exactly what you need but off the top of my head, I'd sell the 5065 and get a Kubota kx057 for my backhoe and upgrade my tractor to a 100 hp tractor like the Deere 5100m. A farm of your size needs a mini ex, like the kx057, on site at all times in my opinion. Haha. That's my two cents, not that you asked for it though.

Could that server as a pasture aeration system also if the rollers we're set to the minimum rip rate and the packing roller was lifted? Two in one tool. 🚜-Woooo!!

Hi I recommend a massy furguson tractor because they have great features and power I recommend a 75 to 80 hp massy

You know woods makes a 12’ batwing that has a minimum PTO requirement of 35 hp called the BW12 rhino makes one as well and a 10’ that requires 25 PTO hp

Please buy a international 1066 or 1206 turbo for that batwing mower that would be a nice setup

Hope THAT THE GRASS SEEDING WORKED? Has it started raining yet? Hope that the results will be great! BLESSED BE!

Did you ever figure out what was in the native grass mix?

Definitely look at Massey 4707 .

What happened to mrs stoneyridge haven't seen her in any of your videos in a while?

Hey Josh I’m up here in Richmond Virginia. We got 4-5 inches of rain and the river is the highest in 24 years. How much did you end up getting

Hi Josh. I just came across this 3 yr old video. Do you still use your Woods seeder? I had a couple questions. After 3 yrs is it holding up well, do you still like it? On the spiked drive roller, are the spikes replaceable? Do you have issues with them bending on rocks ect? Lastly are they built heavy duty to last a while? Thank you!!! Sure enjoy your videos!!

@StoneyRidgeFarmer

6 ай бұрын

I love it, nothing has broken, no issues what so ever. The spikes will bend if you hit rocks so if you have rocky soil they have another option. You can replace the spikes or simply tap them with a hammer and they'll straighten right up. This is a lifetime purchase for pasture management! I love it!

How did the warm season native mix work out in that pasture?

Doese the spiked roller turn at a faster rate than the packer?

@StoneyRidgeFarmer

they both turn at the speed of the tractor my friend...now the packer is smaller diameter so it turns faster than the larger spiked roller

Do your recommend this one or upgrading

the tractor or the seeder? Tractor is underpowered but I'm not sure you can upgrade the best seeder on the market brotha

What's the price on one of these seeders new?

Do you have a price for how much all of this has cost you? For the initial land price, work hours, fencing, equipment, tools, and cows? I'm interested in trying to start a farm but want to know what an average starting price would look like.

@phillipgrimshaw351

Let's just say a lot. When you hear the number you'll want to change your britches. Based on personal experience, since I'm roughly in the same region as SRF, land like he originally bought will probably run $2,800 per acre (if you want clear pasture you can pay anywhere from $5,000-10,000/acre), clearing cost to make new pasture will be about $700-800/acre. Initial seeding and lime will probably cost about $90/acre on the cheaper side, fencing for cows is the simplest you can make and a decent 5 wire high-tensile electric fence will run about $1.75 per linear foot, and don't forget cross-fencing so you can divide into smaller paddocks (look up Greg Judy and he can explain that further using reels), a tractor in the 60-75 HP range is $40-50k new, but could be had cheaper used depending on your technical aptitude, bushhog and other basic implements together would run about $5,000-$10,000, water installations and feeders should go ahead and budget 5k-10K (the USDA subsidizes well drilling and autowaterers so this cost can be much cheaper, add another $5k-7k for a squeezeshoot/headgate and building a simple handling setup (you won't want to handle you animals in the field if you're doing this commercially. Optional: barn and/or hay storage for a small commercial operation would be around $20,000 and likely include grading----bear in mind this is for a metal open sided building like Carolina Carports. Bottom line, a 100 acre cattle operation (no including cows or a bull) will likely cost you $442,750 but that also doesn't include a house. In my area of South Carolina you can currently find a 100 acre turn key cattle farm for about $600,000 (animals and most equipment not included)

For what it's worth, I'd call that "no-till". Tilling turns over the soil.
