Wow, that is large. 90 ft, 36 rows? Awesome.

Yes it is 36 rows. I talk about it’s specs and acres per hour and day in the video.

A little story about a John Deere dozer....The company I worked for once in Westford Massachusetts got a new 750 dozer I was gonna be running and me and another worker went out back to check it out at the end of the day . As we were getting through a wooded area 3 nice bucks ran across in front of us . They had been by the new Deere dozer. I couldn't believe my eyes. When I was 14 I was fortunate enough to live on a free stall operation in Upstate NY in Amsterdam and the owners had a 3010,4020 and a new 5020 lucky for me I got to drive them .

When I got old enough to help my dad on our farm in Ohio we had a 2 row planter, than we got a 4 row, never dreamed of something like this planter

[@bigtractorpower]

It is amazing how Machinery has evolved. I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. I remember when the first 12 row planter showed up in the area. Everyone thought it was huge as 4 and 6 row planters were pretty standard st the time. Today the most popular selling planter is a 16 row. Thank you for sharing your history.

[@captaindee6130]

Excellent compilation yet again, in the good ol' green and yeller. I especially liked the planter footage -- I felt like I was right there. That 36 row Bauer-built is a beast! I like to watch the outermost tires when they turn around as one side of the machine barely moves (or even backs up) while the other side comes racing around. And it looks like it would follow gentle ground contours really well. It's also cool to see it fold up. That operator is skilled to pull up as the tongue lengthens and keep the planter tracks basically stationary. Easier said than done. I wonder how the tire experts would compare a set of 520/85R46 triples vs 800/70R38 duals? Keep up the good work. I assume that's your grey truck we see in the background in some of these clips?

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. It’s always neat to see a DB90 in action. I know two farms that run them. That is not my truck. It is the farmers. I drive a Silverado.

[@captaindee6130]

@@bigtractorpower That's cool about the planters. I've only ever seen one (DB90) at the Louisville machinery show. Do we ever see your truck in your videos? I thought I'd often seen a consistent-looking Chevy in the background in other vids.

[@kevinrichards3288]

1:35 Wow that is some tractor.

[@brianzybura8633]

Just before I comment on the video itself, have we ever noticed that farm equipment dealers never put their new inventory in a large shed. At least from what I have seen combines, large tractors and all other large equipment is sitting outside exposed to all weather elements. Machinery requiring large amounts of investment should be in a barn as far as I am concerned. I dont see dealers doing that. Of course the same for the farmer buying the new equipment. When I say barn or shed I mean one that has a cement floor and is heated during the winter months. About the video I see in the comments some people are amazed at the size of the planter. These large size planters has been around for 10 years now--more. Your video is real good and naturally I enjoyed it. BTP, hope you have a good day and thanks for showing a good video.

[@bigtractorpower]

Keeping farm machines under roof is important. Dealerships have too much iron on the lot to keep inside. They also do not want to keep equipment in stock more than a month or two. They want to sell it and send it on its way. Car dealers are the same. Everything is kept outside but it is turned over quickly. Once the equipment is at a farm keeping it in a shed is very important. My local New Holland dealer is the number one New Holland combine dealer in the United States. They do keep many of their combines in a pole building on the lot. Yes the DB90 was introduced in 2007.

[@brianzybura8633]

BTP, now I understand dealerships reasoning about having their inventory outside. Also I kinda thought that the DB90 was already on the market a little before 2010. Thanks and have a good day.@@bigtractorpower

Great video...👍 Interesting about the reasons why there running Triples on the 9620R's. We use to run tripels, now we moved to running our 9620R's on LSW tire's. If you get a chance you should do a video on the LSW tire's.😁 57 dislikes??? Perhaps because the video only shows the number one tractor in the world..." John Deere"..😁🤣😂

[@bigtractorpower]

I would like to film a tractor with LSW tires. Tripled on the 9620R is pretty much all that you see hear in WKY. One farm I film at has three 9620Rs and a 9620RX. They have run triples since the 8850 in the 80’s. That farmer has told me that he just doesn’t think LSWs will tie the power to the ground in this regions soil conditions.

[@fuzzb4419]

Why do they bother with markers on the planters when GPS is used?

[@bigtractorpower]

The markers are used to mark the outside boundary of the field when they start planting on the first pass around. This farm also runs a DB60 planter so when they get in a 1,000 plus acre field they will drop both markers and run up the middle. The DB60 follows on on one mark and the DB90 follows the other mark back.

@@bigtractorpower wow, that is incredible

[@matteomenthemoleta]

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Why don't they take off of the foam marker bars and save some weight ??

Because they use the markers on the first pass around the field.

[@milkweed7678]

Wow! I remember when a 12 row planter was a big deal. Great video.

[@mitchellorr2005]

Are there any problems with compaction since the ground probably wouldn't freeze in the winter there in KY?

[@bigtractorpower]

No because they subsoil 18 inches deep in the fall. It opens the ground up.

Do they run a 90ft sprayer or is it a 120ft?, just wondered if it was a traffic farming practice.

The farm does not practice controlled traffic farming. They also plant with a DB60 and spray with a pair of R4045 sprayers.

Bonkers. That would do our old farm in about 3 hours.

Tracks are the best option on compaction and they really shine in tillage. I would say triples are the second best option.

[@justinwharry8148]

Jimmy Strain anhydrous is 82% Nitrogen. Urea is usually 46%. So generally more bang for your buck. There are pros and cons to ammonia as with any other fertilizer program. In my experience I see more uniform emergence and crop growth with a soil injected nitrogen source.
