You got that right! Good to hear from the boys that make the red white and blue tractor!

Boy being home with the kids everyday, it's really nice to get the videos so often. Cool video as usual but beyond that it's a nice few minute break from the boredom. Keep em coming SRF, you've given us a community and you're kind of the de facto mayor lol.

Man you didn't do that attachment justice. What about how you can take that furrowing point off and use it to hill potatoes, or use the sweeps to weed and cultivate. Also that sucker is made in Merica right here in NC! Everything Attachments makes implements like they used to be made!

You are such a kick to watch,love your explanation,and enthusiasm. Great videos,please keep them coming 👍👍👍😉

Look pretty good job to me Josh. When all the lush veg starts to grow nobody will no the rows had a little bend in them. Wooo

Wooooo! New video just in time for my afternoon snack! I think I need me some of them overalls! If they’re good enough for your 200 they should be fine on my 2! 👍🏻

Those Raised garden beds look nice.

What an awesome implement, may need to invest in one in the future.Just started working the land for my garden plot this past weekend. Ready for your gardening videos for the year, I enjoy taking what I learn and applying it. Thanks so much Josh. Wooo!

A nice attachment and it makes for an awesome garden. Looking great.

The soil looks outstanding, hard work at it's best! 🚜-Woooooo!!!

Your garden area looks fantastic 👍🏻

What a neat tiller.

keep you and the family safe from what happening in the world

I first saw this method in California back in the 80s....fantastic tool...

Perhaps Ventrac could add a "Dead Straight" indicator on the instrument panel. Good video, as usual. Great to have you back.

I’m addicted to hoss tools channel they live in South Georgia so it’s perfect type of area for me to follow the gardening tips

Lawns Looking good

Very cool

..happy gardening,,,keep safe good vid..

NICE JOB JOSH

Right on..Ventracs are made here just up the road from me in Ohio...love driving them with the snowplow attachment and mini cab in winter. Love the plowing!!

We have a row bedder similar to that one, and it works great for planting potatoes. We also use a Rain Flo plastic mulch layer which makes a raised bed and covers it in plastic- saves a lot of hand weeding!

The central and that peice of equipment works sweet and make a whole lot of work alot easier ..godbless brother prayers allways going out to your family for protection and health bud again godbless

one day i will own my own farm but for now i will just watch

Can’t wait to get our garden in. Plenty of work to be done.

Man I love that machine.

Love the Ventrac! I hope to get one day!

Hey Stoney Ridge farmer, I really like your videos and I'm impressed with the videos about the ventrac. Sorry about the loss of your calf. Farming, it's not always easy.

Good video

Woooooo!!🇺🇸

I guess if you throw enough money at it. Problem solved. I am old. I noticed this channel is alot of "look what I bought today". Not trying to be negative but most of us just ain't got thousands of $$$ to play with. Actually I think an Amish guy with a team of horses gets a way better return in his investment. It is fun to have all the toys. We always did it as cheap as possible and had great results.

thank all you guys I can’t watch tv anymore

Josh, you ever thought about Doing a 1-2 acre pumpkin patch? I did one about 5 years ago. It did really well. We did a U-Pick it patch. Had people come to the farm and walk through the patch and pick there own pumpkins. Loved seeing the kids jump out of the cars and there eyes light up with excitement! It was a lot of fun. Gonna do one again in my area this year.

nice ...thanks for sharing

WOOOO!

My dad always said you can plant more in a crooked row than in a straight one.

Farmers take pride in how straight you can make them, you can do yours in circles if you want.

Hi sir I learn more when I see your videos

Your a little ahead of me here in PEI Canada. We still have snow on the ground and still getting some. Will be two months or so before we can work land. I’m about 1900 kilometres away. Great videos. Thanks.

Thats a awsome tool fore making those turn rows. Makes things quick. (-:

That would work well for covering rows of potatoes when planting by hand also. We made a similar attachment out of an old 2 row corn cultivator years ago, works great. When I was growing up my dad would buy 1500 lb or so of seed potatoes and we would plant all by hand and cover this way every year.

i love that song you started out with.

Josh maybe a suggestion to ventrac! Ask them if there is a way to lock it up so you can go in a straight line.

I was just kidding I know you work hard on your farm I see it all the time I'm not a farmer but I like what you do keep up the good work

hey josh, just a suggestion, put you outer " track plow in til they are about 4 inches form your disk and set them about 2 inches lower. A do this on my Farmall Super A when i hill potatoes. I have found that it works good for me as long as i am running in good clean soil.

I'll have to see the results when you get things planted. I can see where that might work great for things like potatoes, just turn the center shoe around and lower it some to make the rows for you. Need to see these planted, might be great, I don't know. Interesting video, keep them coming. Stay safe and healthy. God bless

looks awesome, green wizard approved

Row betta mo betta.. Nice!!

I know it wouldn't be ideal but will the ventrac pull a small disc harrow? I understand that it would not be difficult to keep a straight line but I would like to use it primarily for cutting grass, brush and some other specialty work, but if I could use it for some very small disc harrow work that would be great. Looking to retire in the next 3 years and it would be nice to have one piece of equipment to cover my needs and wants😊. I really like your videos keep up the great work.

My garden is started tomatoes and squash in the ground I put a raised bed in one corner of the plot and i put cherries we don’t have harsh winters so I should be able to keep them and I have plenty of other seeds germinating

I need one of those. I have 200 foot rows and do that by hand.

did you get lucky finding a surrogate for old number four?

Thanks for the great videos. What do you do to control weeds in your garden? My garden always get over run with weeds every year. Any advise would be great.

did you find a foster calf, Jersey calves are almost free, and they make great fine textured low fat meat

Pretty cool video. Did you find a calf for boss cow?

I could feed half the town with that garden :) maybe things just appear bigger in the camera lens :)

That’s so nifty wish I could get something like that for my pony mower 😁 wanting time utilize my front and back yard for growing

I can see that the center plow blade if turned opisite way than you have it .I believe it would make a trench to plant your seed or plants or what have it be ..just a observation

"Wag", is that code for Pabst Blue Ribbon?

Which system did you get sir? I need to duplicate it!!

Stoney Ridge Farmer I’ll bet that took quite a bit longer 😂...

Do you ever finish a project before starting a new one?

What do you use to control weeds without using plastic

This was really helpful. Thanks

do you add liquid ballast in your smaller tractors?? Type/Brand ? or water?

What is going on with the front end of the Ventrac? Have you built a 3 point hitch for the front end?

Good job but what have you planted ?

Ya.......articulated tractors are awsome in alot of places but not so much at some jobs without paying more attention. They dont make a good rake tractor unless the operator males sure not to wiggle too much otherwise you end up chaseing the windrow all the time with the baler like trying to chase a snake

Have you seen Ray Archuleta's videos? I think you have some info that is outdated.

What no GPS guidence???????? For years farmers bedded their cotton and peanut ground in the spring. Does primarily two things. Helps the soil warm up and retains moisture in the bed. I have bedded thousands of acres over the years. I use to run a 12 row KMC subsoil bedder being pulled by a 450 hp Deere 8960. It breaks in the middle too and took a little getting used to. Instead of one crooked row you had 12 if you made a bobble! Can't imagine one row at a time. Now not much bedding goes on it is mostly strip till with a much smaller bed now. Principle is the same. Warmth and moisture conservation. How you going to keep the deer out? Sorry about the calf. I now it sounds harsh but it's part of raising livestock. They don't always make it. Little tip on the bedding disc setup. Place one disc slightly (bout 6 inches) in front of the other and it forms a more uniform bed. You can also put a coulter on it to help keep the plow straight. Hope this helps.

Funny how the slightest turn on the Ventrack makes a crooked row.

Josh one tip! Don,t stall youre baler outside in the elements! You get more repairs and work on it if you do so.

That soil is looking really good. Not an easy task in Western North Carolina.

How much $$ is the roe bedder?

You can grow just as much corn in a crooked row as you can a straight row. 🤣

An old man told me you can plant more seeds in a crooked row than a straight row.

Brilliant and n coronavirus ✌️

Hey Josh thank you for this video also now get to work I'm just joking and I know you work your tail feather off

Mother nature doesn't sow in a straight line and neither do I. Lol

Did I catch that right...your hitting them 4 times??? Why?

not many can afford all the fancy stuff , farming with easily found and inexpensive equipment would be better for the masses

Tilling land destroys microbes, you should learn to utilize KNF and start turning your farm into a regenerative farm. You'll get better crops and you will use less water.

Put her back where it belongs, the Massey Ferguson, thats all not Ventrac.

What went wrong and how to fix it. First, Your Angus cow, should have been, at the least, looked at to determine if she was in trouble. Then she should have been penned somewhere and the vet called. The vet could have turned the calf and assisted in it's birth. Animal husbandry is a big responsibility. You lost calf needlessly.

@StoneyRidgeFarmer

4 жыл бұрын

First of all...why are you scolding me in a video that has nothing to do with the calving problem? Second of all....there was no way to determine she was in trouble...I watched the calf hit the ground after 20 mins of stage 2 labor....DEAD! So if you need someone to blame...blame mother nature...she's a cull cow...bought from the sale barn..put with another calf that wasn't even hers...that's why we don't have any calving facilities....plus...I don't want a cow in my herd that is a problem cow...she's going in the freezer this fall after a summer of fattening up. Remember you only know what I show you...the rest is all in your head....this aint Fox and it aint CNN....I'll run my farm the way I see fit...you run yours the same. This is real farming and ranching...and every animal isn't successful at birthing....she was a cull from another herd sold at the sale barn...unfortunate but a fact. Mind your tone with me as I share my life with you on this farm please. Remember I'm medically trained and I'm not an inexperienced moron

What's that funny noise?

Thanks so much..this advise is very helpful Tom

Most farmers, not this bonehead, stopped plowing because it makes no sense to mix your fertile top-soil with the junk underneath it. Also, plants don't need soft soil to grow. If that were true there would be no weeds or trees. Poke a hole in the ground and put in a seed. A single blade of grass can lift a sidewalk over time.
