Alot of that overseas equipment coming to the American market is way better at performing and cheaper then our own equipment in the states.Thats just crazy

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah I haven’t see a disk out perform the lemken

[@Atlantis838]

​@@RockyMountainFarmerThx for the vid! I worked at the Lemken plant. Very interesting place! They do a lot of engineering and many engineers are comeing from Farms or are sons of Farmers and do a lot of testing by themselves in the fields. They pay their employees very well, so there is no much brain drain or fluctuation. If you ever have the time to travel to europe may be you can visit Lemken and get a tour, so you could see a lot of forgeing steel and such stuff. But wait two years, when there is the Agritechnica 2025 in Hannover and get both😊.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We are going to try to come to agritechnica next year.

[@pricepatrick616]

@@RockyMountainFarmer Where is it??? I stay in Georgia we have the Sunbelt Ag Expo down here but I have heard about that i just dont know whats the location

[@Atlantis838]

@@pricepatrick616 I don't know if there are more then one, but the international Agritechnica is in Germany, every second year, in the City of Hannover. This year, just a couple of weeks ago, there was one. So if you take a journey, you could combine it with a tour at a Plant, such as John Deere in Mannheim or Zweibrücken or Fendt or Claas or many more... Krone, Grimme, Ropa, Lemken, Amazone, Geringhoff, New Holland in Belgium 😅

[@Martin-zl7lh]

We also drive some lemken machines at our farm and are pretty happy with it. Here in Germany they are pretty popular, although the competition is big. Horsch is another germany company I like and väderstadt from our northern neighbors also make great machines.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Lemken does make good machines. We have also been demoing some horsh machines.

[@quentinalb.3479]

I agree, I have the same opinion, it's just one hell of a disc, it will level every field, do an enormous job of cutting up and up rotting weeds and those tines between the 2 rows of discs just make it able to mix up a ton of residues. Just a nice equipement all around and nicely built. We've got some trouble with the roller bearings breaking on us just after a few year and the shear pin of the front middle 2 discs breaking on our stony soil but Lemken identify a problem with the bearings series we had on our Rubin, and installed a new hydraulic security to get ride of that shear pin. Hope Lemken establish it self in the US as it did in France and europe as a reliable manufacturer of well-thought-out and well-designed equipment.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes it is definitely an amazing disk. I’m glad you were able to solve your issues. We have had this one for 4 years now and the only maintenance we have had to do is change the disks.

[@John-nc4bl]

That Lemken disk is too narrow and needs to be at least twice that width for more production.@@RockyMountainFarmer

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

@@John-nc4bl they do make a wider one now. I believe it’s 30 feet

[@brattikx777]

Our farmers co-op also now has a Rubbin, awesome machine. Only here still to wet to work on the field.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

They are awesome

[@eddygoodwin7089]

I was very skeptical of these when I first saw them because of how fast they were going. Seemed like they would just get tire to pieces, but then I used one and I was sold. It did an excellent job and didn’t yank the tractor around when you hit a big rock.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yes these are amazing disks. I have gone through the field at close to 10 miles an hour and hit a big chunk of concrete and it just springs up and then comes back down. You don’t even know you hit anything.

Great video! Not sure how it would do on our soil conditions here. I pull a 50ft Landoll 6250 on 7'' spacing. Best disk I ever owned and I've tried alot. Cheers!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah I guess it might be different for some

[@LynnKorte-ve4qf]

The feather bar behind the second row of disc blades need to be extended beyond the rest of the disc total width trailing profile,so to level and match it all out accross the tools path,a joining the other pass already done .I see you still have quite a un-level endent row accross the surface aside of its a joining path,this would level it out better accross joining path aside from it, as you travel matching it up and leveling it out smooth, matching the other sides pathway let the engineers know

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

You know we probably just have our set a little bit off and it just needs some adjustment because there’s a lot of adjustment on these things

[@Netgazum]

When you need to make dirt look like butter...

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s right this is the best tool for that job

[@MarinMircea]

I saw it in person this year on freshly rained on soil, so the top 20cm were the perfect humidity for it to work in, i really wonder what kind of job it does on a dryer soil, but nevertheless i was impressed by this disc's potential of levelling which is almost on par with trailed combination cultivators such as a Vaderstad Topdown or a Horsch Tiger, i think it buries residue better than both of them. What bothered me in your video and also in person is that it leaves a mark on the edge because it does not close so good after the last pair of discs, even though it had the double steel roller, and not your roller, but, despite that, i find it a very potent machinery for preparing your wheat seedbed for example in one pass, maybe even soybean, or rapeseed if you've subsoiled the year previous to that. I personally work with a Vaderstad Topdown 500, i find it better than a Horsch Tiger because it leaves a smoother soil behind it (side note if you ever want to try them), both in leveling and breaking up chunks of dirt due to closer tine spacing and smaller diameter discs, but it does have a problem with burying the residue (this time the tiger does a better job having 680mm discs, which can be good or bad, depepending on what you want to obtain from your soil, i follow with a Carrier 925, for optimal preparation in case the dry season puts its mark on breaking the soil, and i still do not get that weed cutting you do, this is why i am impressed by it.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It does leave a little line on the edges but I think that’s because there is a disk on the second row on the outside edge that is for throwing the edge soil back in and I don’t think I have that adjusted correctly. It does prep the soil in one pass. We do one pass before planting grain. It is definitely an amazing disk. The times between the disks break up the soil so well.

[@haroldtunich8809]

Get one to Nebrasks or one of the neighboring states and see how it does in the gumbo type soil they have there. I bet it would do nothing but plug up. great in lighter soil.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Yeah, I’m not sure. I bet there’s somebody there who has one

[@joescheller6680]

Your amazement might vanish with the discs wearing down. The disc without this problem is the Väderstad Carrier XL - they might have wider machines to challenge your horse as well...

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We have had to change the disks twice in 4 years but even with the worn ones it still did a good job. I have never heard of the disk your talking about. Odds are it’s not sold here. I’ll look it up tho.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I just watched the video and it’s almost identical to the horsch. The disks are too small to work up a potato ground. That would be the problem. The biggest disks that they offer are 610 mm which is where Lemken recommends replacing their disks because they don’t do the job as well.

[@heatmoon]

So wheel bearibg replacment on these is a thing of the past c9mpariss to traditional discing or chisel plowing

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We haven’t had to replace a single bearing in the 4 years of owning it.

At an angle to the ruts? I love the lemkens but are they ever expensive 😂 That outfit is what a 100 k?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

No, the disks are under 100

[@Spanky_9]

My thought exactly. We normally do a 16 to 20 degree angle across ruts to level. Easy with a T. Won't plug as much either.

[@luisnunes7933]
