BIG TRACTORS PLOWING in Illinois

Big Tractors Plowing in Illinois. In this video I am out in the field with a farm in Illinois in the fall of the year as they are plowing under harvested corn fields. I was out here two different days as the first day it was raining and snowing and git a little slippery on top.
On the first day I was here they were running their Versatile 550 Delta Track Tractor pulling a Salford 14 bottom moldboard plow and their Challenger 1042 tractor pulling a Salford 10 bottom plow.
When I was back two weeks later they were running the Versatile Delta Track and 14 bottom plow but had switched the 10 bottom plow to their Cat 855B Challenger and they also had their Case IH 340 half track Magnum Tractor on a John Deere model 3710 8 bottom plow.
This farm grows non GMO corn and soybeans and moldboard plowing works out great for them.
Thanks for watching and please LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE.

Back in the late sixties, at 13,I was in the seat of a John deere 4020 with 5-16's. Plowed all day and into the dark. Best times of my life! Morris Illinois. Thanks

Watching tractors plow is one of the most satisfying things in this world. Greetings from southern Germany.

I think back when I was a kid in the 80s we had a 806 with a 4 bottom a 986 with a 4 bottom and a 1066 with a 5 bottom and some rare days we would have 656 with a 3 bottom. All plowing at max speed of 3 miles per hour. That one Delta tractor and plow gets more done than we all got done all day.

[@fastsetinthewest]

We used an Oliver 1950 Detroit Diesel with front drive assist pulling a 8/16 plow on a Michigan farm near Lennon.

[@randykroells8049]

I remember the bang when the 720 IH reset after hitting a rock.

[@bradhaenitsch1145]

We pulled a 4 bottom with a D-19 and I thought that was it and forger cabs it was a heat houser let me tell ya it was still mighty cold

[@henrysimiyu-hp6ls]

Wonderful machine and equipments be blessed you're inspired.Glory to God.

[@sherrysundblad8722]

A guy has to love plowing. I am amazed there are no seagulls. I farm west of the twin cities in Minnesota and anytime we are doing tillage we have seagulls everywhere.

[@gordhow8868]

Plowing is always so satisfying, when you look back you can really see what you did.

[@bigteddy66]

It depends on the mess you're making.

[@davidhaskins9457]

Great video Mike, old school moldboard plowing love it we still plow our few acres of food plots, keep em coming Mike

[@milesboehmer9969]

Thanks, I thought moldboard plowing was totally gone,disabled arm vet from 80’s used to help during high school always fun.

[@SimonKL11]

Moldboard plowing is cool👍😉 seeing different tractor brand at work is very nice😁👍

[@theburnhams2925]

Mike, I don't know which was more pleasurable to the ear; the sweet mountain music or those turbocharged large-displacement diesels clawin' an' scratchin' pulling steel through soil.... Excellent video (again).

[@andywintz959]

What is it about plowing videos that is so interesting to watch? My dad always plowed his garden to cover up all the grass clippings he out in it all summer. I think that’s why I enjoy these videos.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@tonycoupland6281]

Definitely a another great video from Farmhand Mike!! Thank you for sharing these amazing and great videos!! I really appreciate them!!❤

[@joelg8004]

Amazes me how people maneuver with these huge implements. Watching thousands of years of knowledge with every pass is just incredible.

[@francomtz7115]

It's actually pretty easy especially with newer equipment, I did it big time from 83s to 2000 +.

[@leefury7]

Most are now GPS, computer guided. "Look ma! No hands."

[@philhosier9185]

These Case rear tracked,m front wheel tractor are so awesome. If my long dead Uncle Dutch could see these working in the fields, I know he'd just laugh because in his farming world back 50's-60's, these tractors weren't possible ! His big tractor was an I-H F-20.

[@scottpykare801]

I wish more farmers plowed but these days for most itsnot practical I guess? Appreciate your time and efforts Mike 👌🏻.

[@markreetz1001]

Great Mike!! Always fun seeing a variety tractors plowing.

[@russjordan3996]

boy they sure have some great looking soil there

[@user-xt3ux9ee2c]

I like to watch a tractor plow a field. It's a fascinating sight. I love the smell of raw plowed land and burnt diesel fuel.

[@robertburt9071]

Me too lol

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I grew up on a farm in central Indiana in the 70's and spent many hours doing this. Except I was on a JD 4440 with no cab. It had a white/orange umbrella over the seat and a corroded AM radio on the left fender. I was too short to reach the pedals and my uncle strapped a 30 lb bag of corn to the seat so I could reach! lol Many nights I could see my Aunt coming across the field in a pickup truck to make me come in. No joke, I was a workin' fool even back then. Liked and subbed

[@tony98discovery]

Is the table still alive at that farm now?

[@matiassonego5039]

Que belleza... me encanta trabajar la tierra que lindos arados hermoso video!!!

[@aleksandard.3311]

nice :) looks like clayey and wet soil, ... little bit hard day to plow.

[@robingilmore1444]

Beautiful black dirt there.

[@bobsmith1814]

Mike another great video. I love seeing moldboard plowing working. I can smell the overturned dirt in my head

[@roberthenderson4466]

Wow that"S a huge property. Love the open space and view of the land. It reminds me of a movie scene in NORTH BY NORTHWEST WITH CARY GRANT ! ! ! Great looking video..Added it to my favorite list.

[@danareynolds1976]

I love seeing plowing videos. I used to molboard every year

[@robertburt9071]

You gotta love old school plowing Thanks

[@alexthomson719]

Yes Mike you were correct i really enjoyed your ploughing video thanks again Mike 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@John-nc4bl]

Mike, another good video from you and thanks for it. I'd like to see that Versatile pulling a French Gregoire-Besson 18 or 20 bottom rollover plow and it would mean less compaction of the headlands.

[@wildedog3967]

That Versitile is a BEAST !

[@kenfalk8585]

Mike. I would like. To see them finish the ends!! I stoped farming in 1966. Jd 720 5 bottoms. Excellent!!! Ken

Great Video. Glad to see some Plowing Videos.

[@kellywilson8440]

Back in the early 80"s here in greenville ohio worked for a big farmer Bill Mcowen , He had a 4786 IH turned up to about 550 hp and we pulled a custom dmi plow 14 bottom 16 inches wide , Was still way to much for it finally blew the transmission after about 120 hours of use .

[@johnertel2957]

Great video! Love seeing that black dirt. 14 & 10 bottom plows, wow! I remember when I thought a bump from a 3 bottom to a 5 and 6 bottom was big jump. How the times and equipment has changed!

[@chrisgossman6512]

It is pretty rare to see videos of farmers plowing fields these days in the US.Thanks, Mike, for sharing this video.. Happy subscriber 😊! Like 👍 is automatically a given.

[@fastsetinthewest]

Farmers would rather poison the dirt and give us GMO crap.

[@deannelson9565]

@@fastsetinthewest no they would rather not have their entire field blow into the next County! I guarantee you that PhD behind your name is a lie because I seen multiple posts by you and every one of them you've proven to be a moron that has literally no idea what you're talking about! Style plowing is one of the absolute most destructive things you can do to your soil. First it tends to blow away but more then anything you kill off all your soil biodiversity by doing this!

[@burtbrooks7731]

That 550 is sweet👌 and look at how purdy that dirt is they are rollin up 👍👍 we got dirt envy here in southern Indiana 😂

No till planting has taken over farming here in the Southeast

[@outbackladas]

Back in the day I ploughed with a three furrow reversible mouldboard, a Kvernland pulled by a JD 3130. Not quite as fast as these big rigs 😂😂. Regards from Down Under.

[@John-nc4bl]

I'm looking forward to the day when Mike shoots a video of a new Big Bud 700 out in the field pulling a 20 bottom rollover plow.

[@jimcook4033]

Looks like some huge headlands to me

[@joshbutler3755]

At 2:11 you said'' If you like farmin, I think you're going to like this video'' That should be your new catchphrase haha. Although ''That is one good looking tractor and grain cart'' is the signature Mike Less line. Great video.

I think I might just start saying this more (Less) Often

Well done my friend...your channel is #1 on my list .😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@mikedemott1720]

Ahhh. I can almost smell it

[@brucecollins8865]

Listening to cvt tractors like the Rowtrac revving up and down still is weird to me. We always kept the RPM up to keep the pyro down on our old equipment.

GREAT VIDEO BEST CH ON THE TUBE 😁😁📹📹

[@lovesita4514]

Luar Biasa🙋‍♂️👍

[@charlesjenkins8078]

Mike,really enjoyed.I like mold board also. Did I hear or read that Deere stopped making plows in 2023?

[@danemeyer7340]

Why do modern plows leave such an unclean furrow? Doesn't look like they go in very deep either. Back in the day where we plowed in Michigan, we sucked it down 10-12 inches and it left a perfectly clean furrow.

[@johnodwyer6288]

Do they have smaller ploughs for finishing the fields? Do they leave the furrows or attempt to fill them in when they are tilling?

[@egomania2792]

I have a Versatile Deltatrack driving around near me in central east Germany. I just recently found out that it is the one of the only, if not THE only Versatile in Germany, might even be the only one in Europe. When I saw it, it was pulling a Kverneland PW 100-12 12 bottom turning plow. Btw, are all Versatiles so insanely loud?

[@daandejong2964]

There are some in france as well.

[@deanthompson2982]

I was hoping For some headland action All 3 of them together. Right? On each. Other's. Bumper? Lol.

[@scottrooker3423]

Big plows I have 2 16 inch with a 1951 John Deere A

[@Parents_of_Twins]

What causes the plow to jump up and down? My dad has a small farm however 90% of the grain planting was done either before I was too young to remember, different farm, or after I left home and was married so I'm not that familiar with plowing. We mostly did hogs and stuff like that when I was growing up.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Turning it over,in a big way

[@charleshagenbuch6078]

Great black dirt video! Do they use guidance and what's the moldboard widths and depth? What do use to smooth it in the spring?

[@jeffreyvian]

Did those straight lines look like they use guidance lol

[@paulpence8895]

[@markfleck7981]

Hey Mike I love your Video. You said in video they plant non GMO corn. What is GMO corn? What is the difference in the corn?

[@whjerts]

Genetically modified

[@Beyonder8335]

GMO corn means genetically modified, basically the seed companies can take genes from other plants and put it into the corn so that it has different attributes, such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, or just general increased yield. Non-GMO would lack these features but probably has a higher value due to Non-gmo marketing. Hope this helped!

[@MyPromixdirt]

plowing is awesome and remember don't drink and plow, it's so easy to do, but, yie yie yie oh brudda

[@christianlacasse2937]

Maybe it’s time for me to go to Farm work

[@lostinlox]

Surprised they aren’t using auto-steer …furrow lines are all over the place.

[@kelvinstecklein1580]

What about pulling the old Krause one way disk plow takes a good tractor operater

[@Jan_372]

Surprised to see only those one sided plows in videos. Usually we have turning plows over here so you can drive the lanes up and down right next to eachother.

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@kevinhaycraft4595]

Wow I thought plowing was a thing of the past.

[@tylermanion2846]

Not even gonna lie, that drone is a beast seeing how hard that wind was blowing at times, the tractors too ofcourse

[@robertgoetz2678]

How comes? In Europe we use 100% fully reversible plows, in the US you donot…

[@farmhandmike]

There is a few reversible plows in the US depending on the area.
