12 JOHN DEERE Tractors Plow Up 11,000 Acres

In this video we take a look at 12 John Deere tractors ranging from 210 to 620 hp working on fall tillage to sub soil 11,000 acres on a Western Kentucky farm. Viewers will see this fleet of tractors on the move going down the road and working up ground. My friend Matt takes viewers on a ride in a 420 hp John Deere 9420R 4wd Tractor during the video to show what is like running with a big line up of tractors. Matt shows what it is like to run 24/7 to complete the tillage job before fall rains set in. These tractors are subsoiling 18 inches deep with John Deere 915 V-Rippers ranging from 5 to 9 shanks.

Great video and always nice to hear Matts input. Thanks to Matt for letting us ride along. Lets hope we see him in the Spring planting.

That was cool to hear from Matt while he was operating the tractor in the middle of the night. I know not all operators feel comfortable doing that or even being in the shot. Their perspective is welcome anytime they want to share it, of course.

[@leesteele9290]

That's a customer right there that Deere wants to keep happy !!! Just having that many bodies capable of operating the machines is a challenge let alone orchestrating all the support and logistics , but when it's all rolling that's impressive !! The fourth time Matt was going over those same fields for the season might just be enough til spring ! I guess that would depend if he only had to spray it once ! That big wheel stand for the front assist tractor would verify how hard those headlands get compacted ! Thanks for the video and can't wait for the shop stuff !

[@bigtractorpower]

Matt saw those fields a few times in 2019. He sprayed them 4 times in wheat, combined them in wheat, sprayed them twice in beans, combined them in beans and some with the ripper. I should do a year end review showing all the trips.

[@jimsteele7108]

Just think about how much farming has changed within the last 50 years.

Man you would think that a guy with this much brand new equipment would be running all tracks and controlled traffic. It could save him a huge amount of money in Equipment, personnel and Diesel.

Where the tractors drop dead that was a good example of what compaction can do that corn route wouldn’t have a chance growing for that and that’s so impressive 12 of them in the field and that farm is super super organized and everything that they do there

Subsoiling makes a huge difference. It’s quite the operation to see in action. They work hard.
