620 hp Case IH Quadtrac & 60ft Case IH 500 Air Drill At Work

[@stuartmassengale3955]

Great video Jason. Can't wait to see the big new 715 Quadtrac pulling a big wide 60 foot drill or a wide implement of some type.

[@arfarms5711]

Man you don't know how much I love your videos bud!!! Thank you!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@ViciouslyFish]

Damn look at the corn header loss!!! We bought a drago corn header and that takes care of that issue.

[@jankotze1959]

Magnificent video as always, this winter here I am going to watch all video's again when it is cold outside and cozy inside

[@RockyXTV]

What a monster!!! Great video!

[@AgrarfilmeNorddeutschland]

Great video and beautiful machines. Thanks for posting this amazing video!!! Best greetings from germany!

[@indianahoosier7113]

Outstanding Tractor !

[@robertlong7033]

At current prices will you ever get your money back out of something like this?

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Don't see a lot of these drills in Saskatchewan. Morris, Borgeault, and Seedhawk are the big players up here. We never say no-till really up here. We just say "we're seeding" because everyone uses air drills/air seeders, even the small guys. Haven't seen a guy cultivating and using a box drill in at least a decade. I think we are more minimum till actually. A lot of guys harrow in the fall after combining and we seed everything in the spring. Main crops are wheat, canola, barley, flax, and oats. Fall-seeded crops are rare and corn is almost non-existent except for silage because our growing season is shorter and less heat units. Also much drier than Kentucky. Cool to see how things are done in different areas though. Could immediately tell this was in the States with the accent and how you guys say semi truck.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@hicksboyztravels24]

Great video I get a lot on ideas for my map in farming simulator by watching your video thanks again for anther sweet video

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. Thank you for watching. I am glad the details of the video help.

[@xr1rackley329]

bigtractorpower what are they fertilizing with is it chicken litter

[@davidmicalizio824]

Quite the process!

[@michaelbergman8249]

Another great video! Hope to see the rowtrac with the Great Plains drill soon!

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. BTP did film the Great Plains. Stay tuned.

[@adamrogers3946]

That's a beast of a air drill. Makes our 500T look small

[@bigtractorpower]

+Adam Rogers the 500T is a nice drill. There is a 40ft 500T on the BTP channel archives

[@ReolSPro]

this channel deserves more subscribers

[@bigtractorpower]

+ReolSPro Help us spread the word. Thank you.

[@jakeziegler599]

Now that's a set up!

[@bigtractorpower]

+Jake Ziegler Thank you for watching. I enjoy your videos.

[@festus51]

Well Jake I do not know if you are talking to me or not but what I said is the truth and no one wants to look the devil in the face. OLD fart that has farmed on my own money for 40 years holding down two to three jobs my whole life

[@jakeziegler599]

festus51 I was not talking to you and do not care to hear your opinion!!!

[@festus51]

you got it jake

[@alexthomson719]

really enjoyed this video thank you

[@timothywelch7482]

Great video. If it's not blue or red keep it in the shed

[@dirtthunder1638]

Nice video B.T.P! Looks like there is a lot of volunteer corn coming up? Makes you wonder why the combine missed so much.

[@bigtractorpower]

I don't think it really missed that much. There is loss for sure but I don't think it is any different than other fields in the area. The corn was shelled in August and this video was filmed in mid October. The warm fall weather allows the volunteer corn to sprout and thrive. As a result knee high volunteer corn in October becomes very evident even if it is just a bushel an acre lost. This year frost did not set in until November so some of the volunteer corn hassled out.

[@sambaseydi4970]

VERY NICE GOOD JOB 😍💪👏👏👏👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@jasonricks1112]

love your channel i like your videos oh combines and tractors a the implements that they use thank you very much i am a fan of this channel

[@bigtractorpower]

+jason ricks Thank you for watching.

[@LaHaSi4208]

Big Equipment!👍

[@bigtractorpower]

This is the biggest disk opener drill Case IH makes.

[@Northern_Farmer]

that drill and tank is the same as the fexicoil set up which case newholland bought out

[@bigtractorpower]

The disk style seeder is very popular here. There are more 500T 40ft models in the area than 500s.

[@glenkellner9936]

Sorry for the question but why is there so many new corn plants?

[@bigtractorpower]

Great question. Please post anytime. I enjoy getting questions. Corn is harvested here in Kentucky in late August and early September. Wheat can not be planted until October 10. Wheat follows corn and with a good month between harvesting and seeding volunteer corn sprouts from the grain left by the combine and that is why you see new corn growing. By the end of October frost sets in and that is the end of the volunteer corn.

[@stephenpaultamblin5850]

some brillant kit love it

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@farmerpete0768]

How many pounds of wheat are they seeding per acre? By the way, that is way too much volunteer corn coming. Looks like significant header loss.

[@garst24]

Why is there so much volunteer corn in that field??

[@bigtractorpower]

+garst24 warm weather. The corn was shelled in August and the wheat drilled after October 2010. Warm Kentucky weather allows the volunteer corn to thrive. This year frost did not set in until late November and volunteer corn in many fields tasked out.

[@farmerallis]

Because people don't know how to set up and operate a combine.

[@ampatriot]

Because they probably use IH combines to.

[@paulsanders8000]

you will never get all the corn in the tank

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

How many times per day is the commodity cart refilled? Or, how many hours/acres does the seeding take to empty the cart?

[@bigtractorpower]

+Rightsideofthegrass It depends on the seed variety on how much the tank holds and how many acres it will cover between refills. On the low side it will seed 160 acres on a tank in the high side 200 acres. I would say it fills up twice a day normally.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

Thanks. Big stuff. Being successful requires lots of moving parts to make it work. 160-200 acres per fill helps understand how this operation works.

[@steiger2110]

I have a 57ft flex hoe 400 with a 3450 cart which is 450 bushel cart I'm doing variable rate at roughly 300-350 lbs/acre and seed at 120 lbs/acre and doing 50-60 acres per fill in Alberta Canada

[@nickallan4051]

Rightsideofthegrass ya cuase we have on 80foot drill with a 900 bushel air cart and can usually do about 3-5 hours before we need to fill

[@Second.Nature.Lawn.Michigan]

How much do you lose by not tilling?

[@AChrivia]

Bigtractorpower I'd like to see you do a video on Big Bud if possible. I know that you have a lot of the more common brands names in your area. However I'd like to see a video with good commentary on Big Bud while in action by you if possible.

[@bigtractorpower]

+Aaron Chrivia a farm we film at has a 525/50. Stay tuned for a 525/50 video.

[@generationll]

Very time consuming.Any Steiger 620s on wheels down there?

[@bigtractorpower]

+generationll Not that I know of. Everything that is a large frame in the area is a Quadtrac. Overall even almost all the small frame models are Rowtracs. There are very wheeled Steigers sold in the area these days.

[@generationll]

Jason,Its the same up here

[@bigtractorpower]

It would be great to film some wheeled Steigers. In WKY Quadtracs and Rowtracs have completely taken over the market.

[@paulsanders8000]

how does the driver no when a coulter is blocked

[@bigtractorpower]

Computer sensors.

[@Azzi61]

Why does the outside of the wings on the seeder have weights on them?

[@bigtractorpower]

The ground is very hard at this point in the year. It had not rained for almost two months when this video was made. The weight makes sure all the openers are making contact in the soil.

[@lucianmirrrcceeeaaa9121]

Beauty Very big quadtrac

[@Farmerknowsbest]

This concept of no-tilling winter wheat into corn stubble is so backwards from where we are in Ontario! You'd end up with nothing but fusarium trying that in our climate! Does the volunteer corn need to be controlled in the fall or will frost take care of it before it robs yield?

[@hwollman1258]

FarmerSchneck I'm sure tat field was sprayed

[@bigtractorpower]

No till wheat in corn was unheard of here in WKY 10 years ago. Heavy tillage was done as all wheat in the region follows corn. In the past 5 years no till wheat has really taken off. Advances in dirsease control has made the difference.

[@Farmerknowsbest]

Did the wheat die in the frost the last 2 nights?

[@bigtractorpower]

The freeze has not helped it. We will have to see how bad it was. In 2007 almost the entire crop was lost to a freeze. In 2012 a freeze turned the wheat brown and greatly reduced the yield.

[@LandcruiserC]

Thanks for this Video. Good Job. Greetings from Germany. Btw: nobody would drill wheat right into cornstubble in my region without tillage. Arent the Farmers affraid of any infections for the wheatcrop? (fungicide)

[@bigtractorpower]

+Christian H No till wheat has really caught on here in Kentucky over the past five years. 50% of the acres are now no till. Vertical tillage is 40 % and 20% is a heavy tillage pass. There must be improved fungicide for the no till acres to work now where they did not a few years ago. Thank you for watching.

[@FaithFamilyFlyFarmFire]

Christian H NO-Till wheat is a great solution in semi arid regions. I no till 100% of acres to retain moisture in a ~16" (40 cm) of annual rainfall environment.

[@LandcruiserC]

Marc Ramsey you are right. No till is a good choice for saving the soil and water. But you have to use more pesticides to get the crop healthy. especially wheat that was drilled after corn. ( fusarium ) many pesticides were banned in Germany so it isnt easy for the Farmers to control infecetions or weed. I think that would be also the main problem to esthablish "no tillage" in Germany.

[@FaithFamilyFlyFarmFire]

Literally can't remember the last year we applied pesticide to wheat. Even in rotations following corn. Don't have those problems here. Every so often we have to fight rust issues in wheat with a fungicide but that's not a result of no-till practices. Really, Europe growing conditions couldn't contrast our climate more. Some things for the better, some things are tougher!

[@LandcruiserC]

Marc Ramsey how many bushels wheat you can harvest from 1 acre in your region?

[@dcw1540]

Case combs that's why so much vol/from.

[@petrokemikal]

That is some rig...

[@hannatiggelenvan9550]

Hi! Does anybody know a farmer who owns a Case IH Quadtrac and who is standingn open for a visit from my boyfriend and me to see the real thing?:) I would love to, in The Netherlands we don't know it. Thanks!

[@lebro6253]

The quadtrac is actually 692 hp

[@bigtractorpower]

692 is peak hp and 620 is engine hp. The tractor will run up to 692 in a tough spot but can not maintain 692 all the time.

[@lebro6253]

bigtractorpower okay I get it now

[@lebro6253]

bigtractorpower are you the same person that does toytractortimes?

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes Big Tractor Power was started by Toy Tractor Times back in 2001.

[@АлешаКащенко]

Подарите мне мини трактор !!!

[@raincoast2396]

Industrialized farming such as this will be gone when the energy stops flowing. This will happen slowly over time, with the main consequence being a much reduced world population. Famine and starvation will cause great upheaval.

[@atomicwedgie8176]

Well, at least you'll have your bike to get around on. So, you got that going for you! Also, are you a motivational speaker by chance?

[@switzerblitzer2701]

Well, there's always a rake and a hoe....and lots of kids!

[@festus51]

and big tractor videos you do not answer me after 2 hours. I guess I got to close to the truth about tractor driver and truck drivers??????????????/

[@bigtractorpower]

Festus51 I am not quite sure what you are looking for in an answer. I answered the initial question yesterday. This not a corporate farm it is a family farm. This family does allot for agriculture in our community and for the entire state of Kentucky. As far as this fields size, it is big. Having large machines to cover the ground is important to get a good crop. There is a 10 day window to get a good crop in the ground before it starts getting too cold for good germination. Seeding in WKY where this video was filmed has to be done fast. Most farms in the area are running 40 to 60ft seeding implements. A 12 ft box drill will not get the job done. This particular field is a very old field. Prior to 1942 it was a 6,000 acre field in one block. The construction of Ft. Campbell, KY during World War II took half the field. When it was a 6,000 acre field it was farmed with mules and horses and then early steel wheeled tractors. I would not rush to judgement just because you see big machines. Every farm BTP films at is a family farm. I have never visited a corporation farm. I do not even know of any in my area. If you have two or three generations on a farm and everyone wants to be involved you are going to have to cover some ground and that takes good sized machines to get the job done. In the case of this video the farmers grandson is running this seeder and he also runs the corn planter in the spring.

[@festus51]

If you don't have 500 million in assets you might as well stay home. No farm family farms any more just corporate farms now.

[@ViciouslyFish]

festus51 that's just not the case. My family still farms and aren't threatened by big farms nor are we threatening to anybody else.

[@festus51]

Well fisherman it was a little bit of over statement but the fact is if you don't have big bucks backing you , you do not stand a chance in farming today . It has been this way for the last twenty years at least. And I suppose you have had family help to get started farming if you have bought any land or equipment? Not trying to start a war just trying to state facts as they actually are. Correct me if I am wrong. GL

[@bigtractorpower]

This is a family farm. Several generations involved in the operation. Great people and very involved in the community and Kentucky agriculture.

[@festus51]

My point exactly . You have family backing helping you out to gain a foot hold in the ag community. I realize that I may be talking to a younger generation farmer that still has idealistic outlook on life. /but the facts is that if you did not have family backing you would not stand a chance in modern day agriculture. That is fact of life no one wants to face. If I am still alive in twenty years I would like another email from you to see where you are in life and farming.

[@festus51]

so was I wrong on my first statement of the 500 million of backing to farm? Just like I was telling Fisherman you have to have big bucks in backing today to even have a chance at farming. I really do not care about involvement in the community they do not pay the bills . All you do is great stories on gigantic agriculture and nothing on a real farmer. Was that a family member driving that tractor or a hired hand, or a family member driving the two trucks?????
