Excellent. These videos and your channel are so great, for a multiplicity of reasons. I'm grateful for your good channel, the work of your hands, and that in your expertise you'd be willing to share what you know.

Thank you. On an unrelated note, because you seemingly have the ear of the manufacturer(s) I can simply offer my opinion here, as a customer of said manufacturers. Between the options when purchasing new equipment as a producer in Alberta, if the difference is between a luxury tractor (or implements) when I simply do not care about luxury, and a tractor (or implements) that have outboard planetaries that I can easily rebuild personally as a mere farmer, with an inline cummins engine that I can work on and rebuild personally as a mere farmer, then this becomes an absolute no-brainer. If I cannot change the oil or fix a stupid software problem as a man who loves the digital computer advantages of that interface, then I'd rather throw that garbage in the manure pile and buy an old Big Bud or Tiger IV etc. I have a few hired men on my farm, and I'd never ask of them that which I'd be unwilling to do myself. But luxury is nothing in comparison to being able to fix my own tractor, or combine, so to speak. Also, in another sense, for four generations my farming family has had blood which remains flowing with John Deere green color lol, to exaggerate, the majority reason being the following. John Deere for decades postured itself as the farmers best friend, and what my 4 great-uncles absolutely love most about John Deere is that they can spend some time in the winter, for sentimental reasons alone, fixing up a 1956 John Deere 820 or 1964 4020 and still go to our local dealership and get parts for it, or still go to a wrecker and get parts for it, and he/they are still able to bring that tractor to better than new working condition. Now, comparatively, a luxury tractor is only luxury for so long, because it is disposable, and for economic reasons it will never be otherwise. Versatile has always had a place in our hearts because they have always postured themselves as being a farmers best friend, producing equipment that is lovably overbuilt and always rebuildable, when or if necessary, by a mere humble farmer such as myself. I hope they never go the route of other manufacturers, who go from being a farmers best friend to being almost their worst enemy. Going from a decades old rightful honest slogan of "We want to make the farmer profitable, because if the farmer isn't profitable, we cannot be profitable" to an implicit slogan of "In the interest of our stockholders, we need to be as parasitic and disingenuous to the uneducauted naive farmers as possible." I hope Versatile never loses their heritage, and roots, and what made them the greatest manufacturer of 4WD's on the planet, all through my childhood. I am not the only farmer who feels/thinks this. Respectfully and with due appreciation.

@@farmhandmike - Thank you. I have no intent to be impertinent. Just sharing my thoughts on the subject, please take it for what you will.

My old man used to crab at me when we run the disk too fast and left ridges, this gives new meaning to fast! Really takes some horsepower to get that thing moving, dose a nice job of seedbed prep.

Thats big tractor power music! 😜😜

I just seen Versatile vid on fury, I like this set up with two disc chopper rows and rollers.👍

Great looking machine.

Love your stuf mike.

I literally drove past weaver today and saw this exact disc. That's crazy!

Very nice unit is wide nice tractor too. Music good. Farm on

You have 6x the views as Versatile's video over the tool... I think they owe you a raise for the marketing 😂 As always great video Mike

Nice unit.

Just down the road from the manuf plant.

Mike: Back in the mid sixty,s we had corn wagons that used a aux power unit to unload at the blower. Wagon had a backstop that was pulled to the back with cables driven by a gas driven racket unit that hooked onto a shaft at the back of the wagon. Once wagon was empty you pulled the backstop back up to the front with a crank at front of wagon. Have you ever seen a video of one of these. I have tried to explain this unit to my much younger brother and have not been able to find a picture or video of this system in action. Love your videos always.

A lot faster than running the two gang disk over freshly plowed ground with the Ford 8N. Smoother and safer ride for the operator too.

Hey Mike the video that versatile put out shows the tool plugged up having dealt with field cultivator,a disk Chisel and they plow it would be something I wouldn’t want it ,could been just a fluke. They need to take theirs down and put yours up yours looked impressive

Probably just a fluke. I was in the field with 3 different ones last fall in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana and had no plugging issues. I could see the possibility of a rock getting caught just right between two blades though. And I'm sure just like it happening on a regular disk it would plug.

Very close to the pro till design. What makes it different than the pro till patent ?

How many acres can be covered at that speed in a day

Looks Just like a Degelman pro-till. What's the difference between those to harrows?

Not 100% sure but when it was folding out the one tire was carrying a lot of the weight for a bit. I noticed it was low when we were folding it out in the dealers yard but that was before PDI.

To Mike Less, Your channel and Big Tractor Power both use the same end credit music theme 05:58. Who composed the theme?

Its just a sound effect that is offered in Imovie. I use Imovie to edit all my videos and I believe Big Tractor Power does the same.

Just wondering.

Horsepower requirement?

8-12 horsepower I believe but a lot depends on conditions and if you want to run 8 MPH or 12 MPH. I have a video coming of this running in corn stalks and they were only running 8.5 because of rocks in the field.

Tried one and I absolutely hated this thing. It would not stop plugging up with corn stalks.

Isn’t that hard on the drivetrain pulling implements that fast? I was always told anything above 8mph on a tractor was a disaster for the drivetrain including new tractors.

Conjunto de equipamentos interessantes, aqui tal player não participa do mercado, mas outros diversos e mesmo o de origem do usa, o de cor verde, que com motor moderno, é opção, assim como são os de outros players, e até o atual produtor com item famoso originado de tradicional amarelos de itens para a construção, não articulado, mesmo tempo motores de menor potência mas são interessantes. E ou seja são as tecnologias e avanços, agora com boa evolução dos articulados, os chamados quad, sobre esteiras, lagartas de borracha que tem se mostrado de boa eficiência e produtividade, agilidade, inclusive para os itens de coleta,.... As questões são novas tecnologias e a relação custo beneficio, aqui ainda bem desfavorável para o empreendedor, produtor rural,..... Mas é o de sempre as questões de ganhos de sinergias, e de competitividade
