12 JOHN DEERE Tractors Plow Up 11,000 Acres

In this video we take a look at 12 John Deere tractors ranging from 210 to 620 hp working on fall tillage to sub soil 11,000 acres on a Western Kentucky farm. Viewers will see this fleet of tractors on the move going down the road and working up ground. My friend Matt takes viewers on a ride in a 420 hp John Deere 9420R 4wd Tractor during the video to show what is like running with a big line up of tractors. Matt shows what it is like to run 24/7 to complete the tillage job before fall rains set in. These tractors are subsoiling 18 inches deep with John Deere 915 V-Rippers ranging from 5 to 9 shanks.

That was cool to hear from Matt while he was operating the tractor in the middle of the night. I know not all operators feel comfortable doing that or even being in the shot. Their perspective is welcome anytime they want to share it, of course.

Great film really enjoyed checking it out. Respect from the Uk

[@leesteele9290]

That's a customer right there that Deere wants to keep happy !!! Just having that many bodies capable of operating the machines is a challenge let alone orchestrating all the support and logistics , but when it's all rolling that's impressive !! The fourth time Matt was going over those same fields for the season might just be enough til spring ! I guess that would depend if he only had to spray it once ! That big wheel stand for the front assist tractor would verify how hard those headlands get compacted ! Thanks for the video and can't wait for the shop stuff !

[@bigtractorpower]

Matt saw those fields a few times in 2019. He sprayed them 4 times in wheat, combined them in wheat, sprayed them twice in beans, combined them in beans and some with the ripper. I should do a year end review showing all the trips.

Here at least in UK when we have a well setup Deere on the Plough, one cn sit bak and watch NATURE go by - some lovely Hielan lassies, maybe or just the Rabbits Hares and Peewits - but if you have a Red tractor with a WHITE ROOF - BEWARE the Seagulls - You'll get SHAT upon ! funny that doesn't happen on Green tractors.

What's hard about night work is drinking coffee to stay awake and when you get off and want to sleep you are wired out . I ran heavy equipment on big jobs and worked nights sometimes and its hard on the body and mind. But some people love it.

[@adamfisher6709]

Can you explain to me something. I never farmed on this scale we raised tobacco and a few cows. But it was always my understanding that farmers went to no till years ago to keep from losing top soil and not having to drive over the ground as much. But it seems to me amd I could be wrong but looks as if they go make more passes over the ground now than ever before and they still till the ground up. How is todays farming easier on the ground is what I'm asking?
