I do not miss row markers. The coolest part to me is when planting the end rows you have no gaps or overlaps. Everything is flush and meets up perfectly! Looks so nice.

[@troyadamswaymarfarm5224]

Got to agree with you on that..😁👍

[@SteveHolsten]

I remember when farmers had to raise & lower the markers by hand.

[@bigtractorpower]

It is amazing what the technology can accomplish.

[@scruffy6151]

@@SteveHolsten back when a four row planter was a big shot farmer. We hired somebody to plant, pick and chop corn. We had 21 milk cows buying equipment was not in the buget. Grain drill, plow, rack, bisc, sickle mower, drag and baler own equipment line up. My how times have changed

[@JA-fn7le]

Yep, BUT here is the problem! When the GPS fails and it WILL you can't plant PERIOD but with markers you could ACTUALLY plant until you get your now dead-tech fixed. I'm a Deere technician and I would NEVER EVER have a planter without markers!!

Another fantastic video, very informative..👍 On our farm we are running our JD's fully autonomous on the field main runs planting, we are working with an Australian Ag tech company. We have been also running our chaser bins with our 8400R's and 9620R's for the past 2 years fully autonomous... I would say australian Agri tech companies and John Deere is the forward leader for farming technology.

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. It sounds like you have an impressive farm. The 8400R and 9620R are solid machines. It is amazing where technology is taking farming.

We run an 8 row 40 3 pt planter and use gps for driving but we don’t have all of the technology on it, like the auto shutoff setup, but it does the job

[@bigtractorpower]

Every bit of tech helps. What crops are you planting on 40 inches. I ran my IH 4786 on a 50ft harrow and drive a GPS guides 7210R on a 50ft harrow. What a difference auto guidance makes. I like your Darth Vader avatar.

[@chasesblog]

@@bigtractorpower cotton is our only crop we do row crop of with wheat being our other crop. We don't have a lot of acres, only 500 or so total and half of that goes into cotton every year. I've tried talking my boss into upgrading the planter to have row shutoffs but we never have. we currently run an 8235r and our biggest rig is a 32 footer but the gps definitely helps out with everything we do on the farm. That's our only big tractor with our others being a 4640 and 4440, both with loaders on the front. I need to update my profile picture as the words in it are no longer valid but yeah I've always liked Vader.

[@robertlonsdale3826]

Nice to see this operator actually knows how to set the guidance up to sow the headlands last- last spring when I suggested doing this to a well known you tuber from the us he seemed incapable of understanding this big advantage , he was concerned that if he did,nt finish the field before it rained he would damage the germinating headland plants if he had to wait several days for good enough conditions to finish planting the field, to my mind with the gps technology , planting headlands first makes about as much sense as trying to put the roof on a house before you build the walls :)

I like Corn Planting without Computerization it takes Precision and Patience

[@bigtractorpower]

It does. I often find the row marker box units get more done because they just go back and forth. They never have to wait to acquire a signal or have computer sensors fail.

Quite amazing to not have major overlaps on fields that sharp angles on the headlands. Very impressive.

[@bigtractorpower]

This field is a good example of those tough point rows as it boarders I-24 and a sharp angle. You can see how units cut off nicely on the turns.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Amazing technology today. Back in my day I once planted almost 40 acres with our four row John Deere. LOL. Keep up the awesome work.

[@bigtractorpower]

I grew up watching 4 and 6 row planters. My three closet neighbors had the following planters : 6 row Allis-Chalmers, 4 row IH Cyclo-Air and a 4 row Ford. It will be interesting to see how horse power and technology will continue to advance planting.

I am disappointed with the 8345R. 548 cubes cranking out 290 horsepower. I feel that there is too much faith put in turbos and intercoolers to get big horsepower. On an old John Deere 5020 its 531 cubic inches cranked out 133 horsepower. I guess I am old school but to me for big hp, the best is big cubic inches. No replacement for large displacement. I think the planter is real good, however if it were me I would always worry about losing GPS signal. In spite of what I may feel the guys who are working with all this are having a real good time workwise. As always thanks for showing.

[@sevans1178]

All of this just to grow corn? I thought all you were supposed to do was dig a hole, put a seed in, cover it up, add a little water and wait to pick it.

[@bigtractorpower]

That certainly works in the garden for the first hundred seeds but as you put millions of seeds this is the way to go.

[@ditirojimmysegang3009]

🤣🤣🤣

[@captaindee6130]

@@bigtractorpower He's talking about that "Bloomberg Seed Corn." I hear it's some fantabulous stuff, tell you what!

[@2xKTfc]

Amazing video of amazing technology ."Automagic" is what I call it. Is there a difference in the resulting crop between the two different brand planters, once the corn plants have grown? Of course supposing we compare generally similar settings for the planters. If you allow, a (very nitpicky) comment: The GDP satellites don't guide or steer the tractor, their job is to enable the computer to work out where the machine is. All routing and steering is done by the machine and its computers itself.

[@mikebonge7206]

GONE ARE THE DAYS OF THE PULL ROPE TO RAISE AND LOWER THE EQUIPMENT

[@rhshoe6929]

I heard that the planter in this video runs by using gps as well as the tractor. I also saw the movable hitch for the planter. It looked like the movable part for the planter is right where the tractor drawbar and the planter meet. The man you were talking to said that the planter is guided by a strip in the field that I could actually see. What I didn’t hear is how the strips are put in the field. If it is a gps equipped tractor pulling a special new implement, wouldn’t that be a greater fuel expense?

[@theopautsch2311]

Does the planter have a way to adjust the line like the tractor can ?

Hi Jason ! I like when you give information like , how and why. Very interesting Thank You. But what is the small Chain in the end of the planter for ? Look forward to all of your positive videos, espcially in this Corona times you need something else to think of. Regards from Sweden

[@captaindee6130]

Are you talking about the small chains behind each row unit, that hang in a "u" when the planter is raised? Those just drag over the seedbed to smooth everything over in case any plant residue or clods end up right over the furrow.

[@rickclassonsr5665]

The planter at Louisville was the 1745 8 row. I have a 30 minute detailed walk around interview on the 1745 on the way to the channel. The 1745 will not be on the market until 2021 but their is a 1745 on demo here in Kentucky this spring. My plan is to film it in the field.

Is the self adjusting hitch available on the single rubber track???

[@vincnet010]

Great video! How many acres do you need to plant every year to pay a setup like this?

[@captaindee6130]

You need to farm a few thousand acres to justify 2 planters that size and with that level of high-dollar tech, although a lot of the GPS stuff and some of the advanced planter features have gotten a little less expensive with more widespread adoption. When the planter tractor(s) cost $400k and the planter(s) cost $125k or so, by the time you fill out the rest of the equipment fleet (other tractors, tillage tools, sprayers, nutrient applicators, combines, grain carts, trucks, etc) the total bill is well into 7 figures. You can't make that pay on a few hundred acres with any conventional cash crop...

[@PapaGoodTymes]

with exactemerge that planter probably cost around 200k

[@jamesrogers47]

I know that tractors and implements are expensive, but it must hurt to pay half a million dollars for a tractor and planter.

[@scottb2712]

And that was a base price for the planter. I'd bet that with the options on this one it's 300,000

[@richardjohnson7442]

What if you did not get done planting a field and you come back the next day. Will you line up with existing passes or would you be off? I sold a radio to a farmer the other day using a GPS base and he said I need to be a certain amount of inches off the anhydrous pass from days or weeks before. Will this system work like this using stand alone equipment without a GPS base or a GPS reference network. Does this make sense?

That boom is an auger mounted on the planter to fill the seed commodity tanks. They did not fill the planter why I was there filming so I did not get to film the refill process.
