Hey Mike love the videos man I don’t know where you are but today is 11/7/24 and it’s 85 degrees here in south east Alabama we’re still in summer weather we a two days we’re we got down to 50 degrees here

[@tmlf1239]

Group 2 resistance is a huge looming problem across the prairies, especially now with clearfield pulses in the rotation. That's sometimes three group 2 crops in a row (wheat, pulse, wheat). I will never grow clearfield canola on this farm. Avadex is an important herbicide to break the group 2 use up. It does work. Winter wheat also helps in the herbicide rotation. I rarely use group 2 on winter wheat.

Hi from oz mike. I lived and worked on a cropping farm in Saskatchewan near whitewood (east side on highway 1) in 86. That was a very much above average year and we built an extra 3 bins on the farm and converted an old barn to store grain as well. And some of the contract grown crops (ie flax and mustard) were delivered straight from combine .

[@SomeTechGuy666]

That tractor doesn't have a reversible fan because reversible fans cost (yet more) money and for 95% of your use radiator plugging isn't an issue. Furthermore, if the debris gets caught in the radiator and you reverse it, it is going to push some of it into the condenser where it will also cause a problem. The solution is to open the hood and blow out the rad once in a while.

[@steveanderson2095]

Yes Mike. We call them offset disc's. Always liked that arrangement. Steve, wheat farmer in New Zealand. Love your videos. 😊

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

A pro-till is not an offset disk, it is in the general category of high speed disks, the individual disk spindles allow for a compound engagement angles, and with large implements a much shorter length. An offset disk has two rigid axles forming a sideways V, and the hitch is offset towards the point of the V, this is so turning moment created by the unbalanced draft force counteracts the turning moment created by all of the rear disks pushing to one side and all of the front disks pushing the other. (I mean turning like in rotating a vehicle, not as in plowing soil.) Then you have the X or diamond frame disk harrows, made of 4 gangs which are balanced left and right, but these are normally lighter and more flexible for secondary smoothing and surface mixing, rather than the rough tilling and leveling action of the rigid high-speed and offset types.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Far from a offset disk

[@steveanderson2095]

Still off set disc's to me. 😊

[@georgechilcott859]

In the uk we put avadex on after drilling as a layer

[@pricekimbrough5310]

That is a very nice tractor that Case has built for sure

Great job pro tilling Mike

[@Tobias-f6x]

Hey Mike, in europe now, there are some 60 foot Bednar discs. There was a demo with the first 9RX 830 in europe in germany with a 60 foot disc. And 35% slip with the 830 in deep tillage with Köckerling Vector which is 30 feet wide, 33 shanks and 14 inches deep, but only 30 inch tracks on the 830. No big airdrills in europe, just little baby drills 😂, but some 60 foot discs, and John Deere said, 35 % slip with the 830 in deep tillage 😊

[@iwan8014]

Is that in East Germany? 14 inch is nice and deep

[@Tobias-f6x]

@iwan8014 it was in the north of germany. Just demo. In eastern germany are some big farms and big fields. In the future, i hope i can see a few big 9RX 710/770/830 and quadtrac 715 doing deep tillage and 60 feet Bednar disc in the east of germany.

[@verdonlane2205]

Thanks Mike!

[@John-nc4bl]

Thats good that Degelman nippled all moving joints for longer life. Notched disk blades turn more effectively than ones that are not notched. Widthwise, that 40 foot disk looks like a toy behind the 540 and I wonder if the tractor is wasting power there. Maybe a 50 or 60 footer would use most of the horses and would mean less passes across the field. Wide span implements behind a tractor switch me on-😉

[@clearskiesranch1362]

High speed needs a ton of horsepower. That tractor is actually a little underpowered.

[@steveanderson2095]

There may be a way to stop those back rollers blocking up in damp conditions. Upgrade with a closer scraper set to clear them on each turn. An engineering shop could do it.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Mike

[@schwabischeagrarfilme8667]

The new 9RX has a reversibel fan!

[@jasonbullert2478]

Hey Mike, you should try out a Kwik till very similar to the pro till just a lot less grease serks. And you can also get them with a spring packer instead of rubber rolls they work good in heavier soils

[@recklessbehaviour01]

Good afternoon

Have you ever planted Grain Sorghum at the south farm?

[@kluckfabrication5991]

Would you rather have a wet spring or wet fall?

[@curtmyers6273]

Here in Southern Minnesota there is a local farmer that has a delgelmam and in corn stalks it does a horrible job, we tried a john deere vertical till and we didnt like the job it did in stalks. We would like to try a kinze and a Salford before we decide to buy one

[@clearskiesranch1362]

Kinze and degleman are the same thing.

[@crandonborth]

Yeah we tried a degleman in corn stalks as well there’s too much residue trying to go thru and it bunches really bad on 20” corn rows. We run a lemkin and it does an awesome job.

[@curtmyers6273]

@clearskiesranch1362 ok, the boss has seen one work around here and thinks it does a good job where the delgelman the neighbor has doesn't. Why that is i don't know. I personally have seen the kinze work and Salford and I think the Salford worked the ground better than kinze boss is hesitant about trying a Salford out though. He's got a thing for the kinze i guess

[@lynwessel2471]

Salford 5200 for heavy stalks on heavy ground.

[@kimmeyers8666]

Try a Väderstad Carrier. We like them very much on corn stalks.

Terrible. If the soil or stubble is even slightly wet it just plugs up and slides

how do you like the case so far you getting a big one

[@James-ml1ip]

Mike, next time you are doing a mile long run, give us a explanation about land inheritance in Saskatchewan. Do landowner pass land down to their children and what tax do you pay....or does each generation buy their own land and sell up on retirement? Thanks Mike.

[@DustyLane]

Mike did you or do you plan on doing a video on your thoughts with the two different tire options you had on the 580s? Did you decide to not take the 715?

[@case1020]

Mike have you ever used anhydrous on your wheat?

Doesnt the wind over the winter blow the topsoil away when you leave the fields black?

Not in the north where it snows more.

[@TheDuckofDoom.]

It freezes hard in that area, nothing is loose enough to blow around.

[@logpile1318]

@TheDuckofDoom. I grew up in the red River valley area of north dakota and Minnesota and if there were years when we didn't get much snow the ditches had to be dug out of dirt that had blown in over the winter

Just wondering, do you get more grain from your north farm or your South farm because of the difference in yield?

Per acre of land, the north farm production is way more. I know our farm compared to others I know is like that. Because we get more rain in the north
