I will have to go check them out. Do you know if they sell certified cereal rye or is it bin run? Sick of getting weed seed with my rye from the place in Clare lol
I'm not sure. Probably bin run but I could be wrong.
Suggestion for the foodplots. Use a rock crusher to grind the stumps and rocks. This will turn the plot into a great fertile field. I'm not sure if you have this type of crusher in your area. Keep up the good work.
We don't have access to that but I've seen them. Thanks!!
Just cannot find my videos on the Yanmar tractors. Going to buy the YM359 this year and not one personal video from anyone. But there will be by the end of July. Thanks for your video.
Best of luck!
Can this transmission achieve 0 ground speed without clutching? For example if I wanted to stop on a slope to dig a post hole.
Yes. Neutral position in shuttle shift and gear shift. No worries
But if I'm on a slope wouldn't the tractor move in neutral? On a hydrostatic I could just lift my foot off the pedal and it wouldn't move. With this one, would I need to brake ?
Parking brake. It has a good one and you have to have it on just to get off the seat
Thanks for the video. Can you achieve 0 ground speed with this transmission, for example if you wanted to drill a post hole on a slope?
Yes. Neutral on the shuttle shift will accommodate this
I recently started watching Dr Woods and have started preparing my land to try this method. Thanks for your info. Great video.
Our ground in north central Texas is 90-92% sand
That's why I'm hoping to keep planting on top and never not have something growing 🙏
Good luck and looking forward to your upcoming habitat and food plot videos!
Oh man, i would never stand under the loader like that.
I hope everything is going great. I have used a method close to this for years. I cast out the seed into the standing rye and then mow it down. Then in the fall I spread seed and fertilizer if needed into the standing crops and then mow it down over the seed.
Just a suggestion. why spray the rye when it has already matured / died? You get free rye seed. Glyphosate kills microbiology and wrecks soil health. Since you have sprayer, check with Morgan (Dairy Doo) about using and making compost tea.
We're considering this tractor for a specific agricultural purpose. Would you have any reservations buying it again and putting several hundred hours a year on it? Thanks!
I would buy it again! I did have the clutch pack go out at 2100hrs, but apparently, it's rare. However, my mechanic and I disagree. I would buy the 359 next time. All tractors or equipment will have issues or breakdowns, and that's where the dealer comes in. I would do as much research on the dealer as you do on the tractor.
@@CompleteDeerTV Hmmm interesting, I wonder what that's about. Overall I see very few complaints about them but very true they all have their problems. We don't have anyone that deals them close by so we're debating on gambling or not
@farmer479 if I go any other brand it will be Kubota
@@CompleteDeerTV was the clutch pack a big ordeal?
@farmer479 it kinds was but it shouldn't have been. Reason is my dealer hadn't seen one and yanmar corporate don't see it much. Yanmar Corp wouldn't believe it was the clutch pack until the mechanic got a camera in there and snapped a pic. The ihmt Trans was in great working condition. The small clutch pack not so much. Yanmar corporate blamed me for riding the clutch but I NEVER touch the thing.... you don't have to touch it. Not even sure why there's a pedal there. IMO i think it's what slows down and controls tractor at a crawl. Why are they on there? I don't have an answer yet. I've put 150 hrs since with no troubles. 2500 fix. However now it should be covered under Warranty
Just got my soil samples back. PH 4.8 calling for 4.6 tons per acre of lime, but recommend to break it down over 2-3 years. Cation exchange capacity is only 3.3. Going to do 1 acre lime per acre, then add fertilizer at planting in the fall, and follow that with liquid fertilizer.
Well done! Thanks
Is this an old video? 4 inches of snow
Will those oaks recover or die completely?
We don't think they'll recover but hope it don't get worse. We are monitoring it.
That plot is going to look great in three more weeks.
Hey brother, I remember a few weeks back you were having a rough time. I hope things are better. Also, I am excited about this coming season. I planted summer plots, and my goal is to improve the soil, raise brix, cation carrying capacity etc. I believe healthier soil, more attractive plants......many of my hunting partners just think if something grows, it is all the same.
Thanks for check in and the kind words, that means more than you know. Still have tractor issues and everyday things but I've been praying a lot and it's helping! Just picked up a new to me bow and I can't wait for season. Lots to do before then. Keep on helping that soil and share your results. I think this is the future of plotting and hope it becomes easier for all. God bless
Thankful for the rain we got the past week. We got about 2" over in Osceola county. This is my first year in awhile that I didnt plant a summer soil builder blend. Glad I didnt because of the drought. Between the drought the past few years and lack of time, it has been tough to plant a summer plot. Also feel like I just dont get the full benefit of it due to our short growing season in Michigan. Running a couple experiments this fall to try and make it so that I have stuff growing next summer from this years fall blend. Going to add more clovers, hairy vetch, and chicory. Of course rye comes back the following spring and helps suppress weeds and build OM 👍
Yes! I do agree and it is a short turn around. Timing for me wasn't ideal but I had to start this program. My fall planting will be later than usual as well with a little different seed blend. Hopefully we are not fertilizing and cultivating soon. Drought tolerant seed worked great i believe and in the next few years see healthier deer.
@CompleteDeerTV Glad to see you heading more towards no till. Hard for me since I do not have a no till drill. I have been doing a very light one pass with my disc just to get the seed covered. Still leaves a bunch of thatch to hold moisture. I havent had good luck with just broadcasting on top of my sandy soil. The seed just seems to sit there and bake on top. When are you planning on getting your fall blend in? I think i am going to shoot for early august, depending on rain. Im going to be planting a blend of rye,annual clovers,hairy vetch,radish,turnips, chicory. Cereal rye is probably the only thing that will survive the heavy deer browsing lol
@BigWoods40 I hope to get seed in mid to late August. I'll start beginning of Aug. I have a few to get in before then that didn't plant summer plots. Is that your own mix or premixed. I'm looking to plant rye, triticale, radish, turnip, buckwheat, rape, berseem clover
@CompleteDeerTV I make up my own mix. Im not sure if i save any money doing my own mix but do have fun experimenting with it.
Lack of info here
Great point on the tax brackets!
For the plot that was a forest, did you have the stumps removed? If so, what did you do to fill the left over holes? Thanks for making these videos!
Yes we did remove stumps and lined them up around the plot for borders, critters to live in, steer deer travel. With the holes we use a power rake (Harley rake) to smooth level out ground. Works fantastic!
We have had some hard times for what seems like years, I either go work on the hunting lease or take the boat out in the gulf fishing. The release you feel is awesome. I feel like I am closer to God when I am doing things like that. I can for sure relate to what you are talking about. I am glad you got to put that seed out, and pray all is well with you.
Thank you. Means a lot
You or your forester never addressed Oak Wilt.... I have a fairly large parcel and my forester suggests cutting basically everything except for the White Oaks and Conifers... This means all the blacks and reds oaks shall be harvested alongwiththemaples...... Yes, I have oak wilt on the property and it's spreading...
I havent been impressed with the food plot doo. Have used it for a few years up until last fall. My plots looked way better last year when I only used synthetic fertlizer. Plus the price of the food plot doo is outrageous and costs more then synthetic. Dairy doo recommends to till it in to the soil which I never did because I only do no till. May do half of my plots in food plot doo and the other half in synthetics this year and see which one does better.
Also not happy with there soil scientist. Emailed him a few times this spring with no response 😐 But I guess a poor small food plotter like myself doesnt mean much to them anyways. Sort of the direction I feel like that company is going anyways. Havent felt very welcomed the past couple of times I went there. Sorry, rant over lol
Food plot doo is the pellets correct? Your correct way to expensive to get the numbers correct vs salt based fert. I only use food plot doo pelletized when i absolutely have to and for maintenance. Use super sac is cheaper. I'm using bulk layered ash blend and trying to get more microbes and biology into the soil. Hopefully with the seed mix I'm using I will be able to reduce or eliminate fertilizer all together.
@Complete Deer TV Yes it is pelletized. I think its around $17 a 40 pound bag now. Do you know how much cheaper the super sack is?
I don't have that information in front of me. Call Ron Cain agronomist there. It could be on their website? I'll see if I can find later
Great video! How do you terminate your spring plot to make way for fall food plots? Seems like seed to soil contact could be a problem without discing or tilling. Thanks!
Thank you. I have sprayed to terminate so far. But now cereal rye is taller..my planter disc's as it plants rolls and cultivates. Although it's not as great as notill it's pretty darn good. I will also cris cross plant if cereal rye is to thick which will terminate it
@@CompleteDeerTV .. gotcha thanks!
Looking good for first one! Probably going to take few to get get really good at it but you gotta start somewhere
Thanks. Lots to learn for sure
Was your radio factory installed? If not, where did you get the adapter for it?
The dealer installed it and I think they sell the kits.
My dealer is Gene's in Coleman, MI
Where were they located so I can go and look at them?
In Clare at Colonville store on colonville Rd. I see dealers all over towards Evart as well
I think you've over cut .The undergrowth has already gotten to tall for food value for deer.Maybe good cover but if they don't have food they won't stay.Future generations will never get to enjoy a mature forest with the way forestry is going.Just my opinion but it's mine.Leave the maples for maple syrup production. There you have my 2 cents worth which is almost as much as you will get from the rest of those trees.
Deer numbers in this area are low. Another of neighbors have been cutting aa well. That's why we will keep cutting to always have food and regeneration but also a healthier forest in the long run. It's a balancing act. I'll show a cut where they didn't cut enough with high deer numbers and now we have a problem
Gods country ❤
Dan has done some work at my place and he is scheduled to come back again this summer. He does a great job.
Good luck with the new taxidermy business. Great winter time business for someone in your line of work!
Thank you! I appreciate it
f*ck you for that intro. killed my ears bro. nit even watching just dislinking. f*ck you.
Get well soon 🦌
I would guess around eight years old for bucks or does. The oldest bucks that we have shot are in the four and five year age. I’m sure they would have lasted at least three more years.
A buck is considered mature at 4 years of age when the bone structure has formed. up to 7 years old. Doe bone structure is mature 2-4 years
Dear Mr.Wizard.I saw a segment about MVP whitetail deer that were raised in Texas.The MVP stands for Most Valuable Pedigree.I was completely blown away on these 2 year old deer.Could you possibly speak sometime on the important part genetics play in both buck and doe whitetail.? Thanks enjoy your video.
4 points on one side with first tag in zone 2 won’t pass
Dear nutrition would make a great subject, especially on what to put in your food plots to feed the deer year round. My group planted nearly twice as much as past years, but I think it may have been the wrong type of seeds. I didn’t get turnips planted this year. My mistake.🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for info!
Your steering even bind/lock with a load in the loader while still?
Yes. Too much weight is usually the reason.
I got my first picture in four weeks this morning.
Is there a website to view that pamphlet?
Couldn't find the template but here is a resource. deerassociation.com/establish-qdm-cooperative/
Would the earn a buck tag also be restricted or an unrestricted tag?
@@dennisb1224 restricted as well. APR both tags or whatever they can negotiate
Nice
I was in Pennsylvania for five years you're only allowed one buck for all seasons
They also have apr on that tag as well. Unfortunately at present time Michigan will not go for OBR.
Very informative. Thanks.Hope your home for Christmas. Get well Grace!
I have 2 properties TB zone and Cheboygan. I can say we take 5-11 deer off of 60 acres and it’s not enough to make up for neighbors not taking any does. I had 15 does and a buck in my plot at the end of season. The $130 butchering cost will cause more people to not take a doe too. My hunting is good, not complaining, but as a state we do need to fix the harvest ratio and numbers. $5 doe tag $50 buck tag what would that do? Bad idea or easy fix?
That's great info. No easy fix for sure. There's also discussion to help with processing and donating venison to feed people.
$150 for butchering slows my ambition to get back in the woods. For the past 10 years, our neighbors and us have decided on eight point or better. Occasionally one of the kids will take something smaller but that’s great for kids. I very much like to listen to your views. 🙏🏻🍀
@@myronhornby1859 great information. Coming up I'll discuss co-ops and and volunteer "rules" like your camp does. Awesome and thank you
I thought a simple solution would be to make the second buck tag cost more. I didn’t think about earn a buck.
Thats fine but i have 260 acres in the upper and are numbers are at historic low, my area the buck numbers at least 2or3 times as many does, and with the wolves and winters being so harsh we haven't shot any does for yrs except for a group that comes from out of state, that won't get on board. the numbers aren't there, Even though we took 3 mature bucks this year, last 2 yrs were the worst i have seen since the 70's also have great habitat and 5 food plots so my opinion for what its worth at this time we have to limit the doe harvest, i have shot my share of does when needed in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's but now is not the time in our area.
This program will be area specific. I forgot to mention. This will only apply were deer numbers will sustain. The U.P. will have different regulations. Hopefully to promote deer numbers.
Those look pretty slick
