Plowing Up a Field of Sod with a John Deere 9620RX Tractor & 10 Bottom Plow

[@gordhow8868]

The only thing missing is the smell of the plowed field. Awesome!

[@Nick-tz2vl]

I love moldboard plowing. I love the seedbed it makes if you plow in the fall and run a field cultivator over it once in the spring. Comes out perfect.

[@samspade4634]

What beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos.

[@AmazingTV-ADN1]

The way you present your content is professional and easy to understand. This video is really worth sharing with everyone.

[@Tommy-vh7xj]

There's something about mould bord ploughing that's lovely to watch thanks Mike

[@bobsmith1814]

Now that is plowing. I love seeing a moldboard plow turning over the dirt. Great video, mike

[@MeadowFarmer]

It's very relaxing to watch large farm equipment at work. I love the many viewing angles and drone work in your footage. It's amazing how modern agriculture has freed the vast majority of the population from farm work. The equipment is far more powerful and more comfortable than ever before.

[@aekdb59]

It really got me that one person said it was too wet while another said it was too dry. 😂 But I’m with you, better to have too much tractor than too much implement.

[@Zero01k]

One of them was having a giggle I'm sure

[@darrellscholl-xn5ze]

What makes me upset is that I wasn't there to see it in person and maybe bribe the operator in to letting me plow a round. Oh well my loss

[@panders55]

Not too wet or dry, the roots of the grass is holding the dirt together. They'll need to run a disc over the field asap to help chop it up.

[@RickPerry4960]

You can never ever go wrong with moldboard plowing… although it’s getting to be a lost art.. awesome video

[@frankward423]

Another great video. You can never have too much power on the farm.

[@noahater5785]

Yep, overkill is underrated 😉

[@dalebargen]

As long as you continue to produce great farming videos, we will get along just fine! Thanks!

[@joelhenderson5404]

I love mowboard plowing thanks Mike.

[@EDBZ28]

Awesome video of a century old practice that has gone by the wayside, using modern equipment! Beautiful outfit. Thank you for bringing it to us.

[@Lanny-io9bi]

People just can't go without complaining about anything and everything! You do awesome work and bring us awesome content full of information and it's very helpful and appreciated for sure! We can't let a few sour people ruin it for the rest

[@ckg009]

Moldboarding sod is so satisfying. Love the video!!

[@davidhaskins9457]

Love the old school moldboard plowing video Mike, we're old school too, even thought it's only food plots it's still fun tractor time, keep em videos coming

[@myronparks3495]

Nothing wrong with old school farming.

[@jamesaplin6887]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful video.

[@sharpshooter470]

Mike, you just make me smile !! Yes farming can be fun.

[@samson1200]

Hi Mike! I think the plowing is appropriate for sod. Usually sod is only 1 /12" to 2" thick. So at 3" he is getting most of the sod roots up preventing a large regrowth of it later. I worked on a golf course building it from the start. We hauled 2" rolled sod for the 16 greens. I did that going through college and damn! it was very hard work and heavy stuff. But after the sod was taken the farmer just disced up the ground for a grain crop. And each type of engine makes there own unique sound due to how it was manufactured and the number of cylinders. I do not think the tractor is falling apart lol. I do know that there will be a lot of sod clumps in the field after the discing so they will gradually break down. Keep up the good work!

[@waggtech4883]

Nice to see they kept the trees and brush from taking it over while it was in grass!

[@SimonKL11]

Don't listen to some keyboard farmers, I enjoy seeing the field turning from green to brown😃👍 Nice video again Mike👍👍

[@carsonwatkins9334]

To me this is how it’s done I remember my dad running a big case plow an tractor years ago brings back memories

[@galen3406]

great video - watching from Oregon. Retired grass seed farmer - we had all the large John Deere's - this makes me smile to watch it!

[@outbackladas]

Great video , ploughing videos are a pleasure to watch. Regards from Down Under.

[@williamthomas9463]

Looks good to me! So many people today have never plowed and don’t understand what they’re talking about. Most tractors today will never be hooked to a plow. Used to be that when you bought a new tractor that you almost automatically bought a new plow to go with it. Plowing is the second most fun you can have with your clothes on…, chopping corn is the first, most fun you can have 😜!

[@anderspedersen6750]

It's very satisfying seeing the very clear progress !

[@waggtech4883]

I’m glad someone thinks it was fun! As a young teen I thought opening a quarter section took forever with a 4020 and 5 bottom mounted plow! I’d have died at that age without the simple pleasures of an umbrella shade and fender mounted radio! 😂😂😂 (Edit: synchro range, 3rd gear, 4mph, open station)

[@BillyTheKid689]

Having plowed thousands of acres myself, I wouldn't be happy with job it's doing. Plow improvements have come a long way, perhaps it's an old plow, but it's not completely turning the furrow over, particularly where he's trying to turn it up hill.

[@paulharrison6417]

Plough!

[@Dbergson]

A perfect use of these big 4 track tractor!

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! Nothing beats a good ploughing scene! Silly comments are just for laughs...

[@glenkellner9936]

Thanks Mike, great video as always.

[@chuckwilliams9090]

Mike there’s just too many know it all that may have never work a farm. Keep up the good work.

[@TheGrimReaper1]

I heard your commentary Mike and it made me smile. I’m in England but just want to say that tractor /plough looked like a good setup to me. It was a pleasure to watch.

[@dennisstruve9443]

Great video I miss moldboard plowing, thank you for sharing!

[@kevinsiedschlag9096]

I love all of your videos that I watch

[@bobtuckosh9870]

Like to see people still plowing, nice looking tractor and plow.

[@chrisgossman6512]

I heard that audio was added with a dragster or a tractor pull added in dubbing. Just in case if you were looking for comments. Diversity in farming techniques is your specialty. That's why I like Mike 👍. Happy subscriber 😊!

[@marks_sparks1]

Love your moldboard ploughing videos. In Ireland, its what farmers still do for primary tillage. Minimum till still hasn't taken off yet.

[@romain793]

Another great video, thanks for this! This setup is very nice and it’s always a pleasure to watch a good mouldboard plowing video. Keep on, Mike! I’ll be there! Greetings from northeastern France!

[@trkfarmer4926]

Definitely more than 3 inches deep! I plowed like this, then planted beans. Took 2.5 weeks longer for my beans to emerge than the neighbors on the other side of the fence to come up!

[@glennmoreside787]

I just love seeing the plowing videos, so cool!!

[@8DeereFarm]

I raked hay once with a John Deere 4850 MFWD with rear duals pulling a New Holland 258 Rolabar rake. All the other tractors were tied up and our raking tractor broke down. I've also seen a neighbor pull a Deere 956 MoCo with a Deere 8650 to mow hay in a pinch. Gotta do what you can to get the work done. Personally, I'd love to plow with a 9620R! Our 9520 gets it done with the 12 bottom Wil-Rich plows though. Great video Mike- thanks for keeping all the armchair farmers in check 😂

[@jaredwalker3305]

Awesome videos always.

[@jimfahnestock6618]

Keep up the good work Mike, I enjoy it

[@paulwasserman97]

People just want to get under your skin man. Forget the bad remember the good comments.Those that want to post things like that.We JUST WILL EVER KNOW. Great coverage & videos man keep it up.❤️❤️

[@mrsteve51270]

Mike love it bro I plowed back in the old days when everybody went no till Monsanto brain washing . I left filter strips and had better weed control . I would plow every 2 years and chisel with spike points between . Cheaper and no chem

[@curtparker5339]

Great plowing video Mike.

[@nicholaslesh6354]

Lol people are funny I smile jokers are always jokers keep up with the great content

[@miguelamaya6246]

That's awesome work now your able to the land for anything needed... thank you for sharing your videos with us...

[@flyingfarmer92]

Sweet video! Plowing is awesome and by far the most fun implement to pull!

[@deancook6832]

Regarding the comments about the size of the tractor. For me it would be a pleasure to plow with an oversize tractor. I grew up plowing and it seemed like we were always struggling to get the most out of the traction and power we had to pull the biggest plow we could. 5-16's on a 4020 in heavy clay was no picnic.

[@thegreat_I_am]

I agree. When I started on the farm in the 1970’s ploughing was a real struggle. The tractors could never cope. We even ploughed with two tractors chained together at times. Nowadays you’re sitting there in comfort, listening to the stereo and letting Mr Autosteer worry about keeping a straight furrow. It’s not even like work anymore!

[@jasonbrier9957]

I have 4 tractors that size Nothing smaller

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Hard to comprehend that you'd get such negative comments for the great footage that you post. As for the comment 'too much tractor for the plough', I think the fact that he covered that large an area in an hour tells its own story. Unlike we Europeans, American farmers appear to favour higher speed with a smaller implement, rather than dragging a tractor to its knees by loading it with an implement size that continually keeps the tractor near or on its limit. The evidence would suggest that it's an approach that works. Great drone footage as always, interesting commentary and little in the way of overly intrusive music - the machines provide their own soundtrack 😊

[@davidbass7593]

Back in the day a Farmall Super C and a 2 bottom plow was all we had some people don't have a clue what I'm talking about 😂 great video

[@durwoodthegiant4421]

And it took a week to plow a decent sized field but hey gotta work with what you have! Always wanted to get into ag but most of the farms close to me won’t hire outside help

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Thanks Mike. Nothing like looking at heavy sod being turned over with plenty of horsepower. Cudos once again.

[@mikeclark4416]

From a British point of view , - Impressive Tractor & Ploughing . Visited Canada a few years back and paid a visit to a John Deere Dealer - Yard as big as Hampshire ! LOL . Thanks for sharing

[@southlakelife]

What a beautiful piece of property! Great video Mike!

[@henryadams8560]

Looks like it's doing a pretty good job to me.

[@cubcadetsteve4148]

Enjoy your videos Mike!

[@amesziegra3881]

Great video Mike Thanks!

[@brianhosey3811]

Pretty Badass! Love the sound bytes of the "muscle tractors" lol

[@danareynolds1976]

I really love seeing the ground beinging turned over.

[@stevereddin3607]

great video! really enjoyed it thanks

[@arthursmith7748]

Great video, as usual!!!

[@jamesharrier6633]

Liked the race car sounds. Great video

[@patrickaherne3598]

Sweet tractor and coolvideo.

[@glennspreeman1634]

Amazing, the longer since I farmed, the better I was!!!

[@albertsmit6208]

Thanks Mike for your videos I grow up ploughing but it is not so popular now days

[@tonitammen.3085]

This is one of the most satisfying plow videos. That plow is set perfectly making ribbons from one end to the other.

[@steveneastman6937]

Like your videos. Screw negative comments. Everyone has an opinion they have to share with everyone. Even unsolicited.

[@DaleBelows]

Thanks for a wonderful video, I wish I can spend time with you in 2024 harvest. I live in bradford Pennsylvania

[@John-nc4bl]

Mike, another good clear video and thanks for it.

[@markkeister6057]

Always liked plowing. Lot bigger than the old 4020 I used to run. Lol. Really nice lookin setup anyways. The ISX and X15 engines do sound different. You can notice it in the road semis as well.

[@brucethomas3100]

Mark Keister I have run these engines over a million miles in several different trucks.

[@ronaldayers9449]

I love your input sir! 😂 And the content. That’s all I wanted to see. You know what they say about opinions… subscribed.

[@peterjohnsen8266]

Excellent video by you love the channel

[@TonyDotson-u1q]

looks good to me i think hes doing a great job its turning over good & the tractor is handling it very well !

[@paulreis1648]

Great video Mike very nice tractor and plow set up well plenty of horse power doing great work

[@joeroy02]

You will get all kinds of comments. You make great videos. Keep up the good work. 😀

[@georgewallacejr5644]

Hello from Collinwood Tennessee great video 👍👍👍🙏🏻

[@chilli-dog8435]

Haters will hate mate .. love your content

[@thr8061]

I did tons of plowing as a kid first with a Case 830 & Oliver 3x16" plow, then a MF 1135 & White 6x16". Due to our soil types, we still plow under our sod. Now we use our Fendt 1050 & Kverneland 6300 S 8x14-21" reversible plow.

[@paulwilliams3494]

looking like a nice bit of soil 😊

[@craigbowers732]

Arwsome video Mike, it's always pleasing to watch a plowing video, Great work.

[@stevebiddle8912]

Plowing videos aren’t that common. Ignore the negative comments you do an awesome job with your videos!!

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

I love John deere tractors and equipment in action.

[@rikacoetzer8135]

Nice job and the tractor sound great👍

[@tractorcorleone]

[@johnhatt1219]

I enjoy ure videos

[@toddayars4074]

Mike great video keep them coming!!!

[@bdrich281]

I would like to see the rest of the process, with the VT being done as well.

[@nytechteacher7432]

I have heavy clay in my area, I plow my 100’x60’ garden to help dry out the soil quicker. Learned that quick after a cover crop experiment that went terribly wrong. My sandbox got bigger with age, my JD 40 Standard and a single bottom Deere plow is my happy place.

[@thomashaley7657]

I bet that missing sound all but disappears when She gets the load She was designed for. Great videos Brother. Thomas, Mississippi!!

[@clintonstubbs2319]

Never too much power especially when you have the means and ability to do that in agriculture.

[@user-snowman5]

Another awesome plowin video 👍👍

[@alanbexten1931]

SOME PEOPLE JUST THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL !!! AND ARE PROBABLY JUST JEALOUS OF THIS GUY AND HIS EQUIPMENT!!! JUST IGNORE THOSE KNOW IT ALL PEOPLE!! I REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THIS VIDEO KEEP THEM COMING!!

Looks so good

[@stevelink55]

Hey Mike,first time ever praiseing a clip.I just can not for the life of me remember why all this bashing is all about, so this guy has a big green tractor I farm a small feed plot with my 60hp massy , great clips and good content. 🚜

[@peterunger7126]

This man is doing an excellent job plowing

[@ileenmcminn2062]

A lot of Monday morning quarterbacks out there!

[@stillwater62]

Yeah, there are some people who are just miserable, and they want everybody else to be as miserable as they are. Don`t pay any attention to them, they will go somewhere else when no one takes the bait. There is just something relaxing about watching tractors plowing fields, especially black dirt and at least half a dozen or more, bottom plows cutting deep furrows and throwing over big dirt. The only thing better, is being there. Thanks for the video.

[@jasonschmidt1800]

I need this guy to rip some very hard CRP acers full of huge ant mounds that comes out of the program this fall!
