D11s Awakening!! And Logistics of Gassing (Vlog 59)

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

I could watch just the D11 working all day.

[@jeffjenkins8303]

Thanks for your explanation of the various processes going on Matt. All very interesting.

[@stephenjohnston6623]

thank-you for the clear (excellent) explanation and walk through of the gasser and its mechanisms. First-rate. Keep em coming!

[@jifi-0178]

Thanks for helping out with some explanaations and definitions. I'm learning more with each teaching session. 🙂

[@jimmycruickshank6910]

Thank you Matt. Very informative. Just love your videos.

[@rodneygillespie9212]

On ya once again Matt, love the time and effort you put in. Thanks.

[@mickhickman6052]

Great video again Matt . Thanks for explaining the progress

[@tc3728]

Fascinating explanation. Thanks Matt.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day Matt great video and good to see the 555 on the kelly chains

[@dannywooster8166]

Cheers from mid north coast just a beef farmer thanks for food for thought with chic peas and gas we used to grow cow peas for nitrogen as for regrowth trees that is global warming 😆

[@davidepool5884]

My first encounter with anhydrous wasn’t a pleasant one. I was just a kid at the time. My father was filling the applicator tank as I was walking up to where he was working. Next thing I know I’m on the ground gasping for air and my throat and nostrils were burning. The wind had changed and I walked right into the fumes. It only lasted a few seconds but it basically knocked me out. I never got close to the tanks while he was filling up again until I was older and understood how dangerous it could be.

[@PacificNorthwestHillbilly]

Another good video, thanks.

[@johneaston2348]

Appreciate the explanation on the “development block”.

[@ajg1053]

great detail on the whys and hows

[@regconrad7783]

That’s a crazy speed you are applying it we do five mph with 50 feet with a shoot similar to an air drill some people do youse there air drills In pass

[@jesstill7833]

Very interesting I’m learning heaps in my next life I’ll be a Farmer Cheers 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪😁😁😁😎😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@Abritinluzon]

Hi Matt Thanks for the explanation on the gas I have seen it many times in videos but I can understand how it works but do you top dress your crops when they are up nice to see the dozer sub soiling making it look easy work for it

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Simon, we don’t usually top dress but we do whack a fair rate of starter in when we sow👍

[@2xKTfc]

You're getting good utilization from the dozers. Almost curious if you could keep a Tiny 3 busy. Just don't get all three stuck at one time hahaha

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s been contemplated haha

[@wellscody86]

Seems like your gas/liquid isn’t getting deep enough or enough cover over it once in ground. I know you want it ideally in the top few inches of topsoil where the roots can use it but what if it was added to dozer rippers about 1 foot down the shanks? I get that the spread of the rippers is wider than the injection discs but you’d be getting two birds stoned with the same joint. We use urea for our fields just before a rain or irrigation.

[@johnwarwick4105]

Looks like nitrogen prices are double or more the world over. Surprised how little you use 100 units per Ha ( like 40 per acre) would be nothing in the UK. Surly you must add some more when the crop is growing ?? Can see why you use the gas as quite a cost saving and the urea granules probably wouldn’t find much moisture on the top anyway?

[@holdengrp3]

Man that dozeer sounds goooooood

[@chrisoakey9841]

you should mount a camera recessed at the top of the blade so when the blade is lifted you can still see. i would do 2 on the outer edge of the mesh so you have a nice panoramic view. you could have 2 screens like mirrors in the cab. and i would also put 2 on the rear for ripping etc. feed them to the same monitors but switch at the push of a button.

[@karen7366]

Good stuff as always

[@johnnyrodgers9794]

Matt,is there a fine for taking down trees on farm land without permission in Australia? I live in North Carolina so not sure what you can do there. Started watching your channel a few weeks now and enjoy all things y’all do. Y’all’s very hard worker’s

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Johnny, yep there are laws here about how many trees and some locations are more sensitive so have to be careful👍

[@timhills5695]

Enjoyed getting into the nitty gritty of gassing, any up close explanation of machinery used is of interest

[@timhills5695]

Also where in nsw are you farming ?

[@jackcallahan2799]

Just love your videos, and thank you for your time explaining everything. Matt, what do you do for relaxation?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks jack!, editing videos is pretty relaxing👍

[@lindyconnop1688]

How many acres is the development block and why did they stop farming it

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Development block has about 2500acres and it just had cattle on it👍

[@petermuller1280]

Matt & team Really enjoy the content as someone who grew up in agriculture and now have city lifestyle. You explained the $ of buying liquid nitrogen v's urea and the % content, just wondering on the maths of how much nitrogen stays in the ground versus applying urea that makes it a better proposition Cheers Peter

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks peter, I’m not sure of exact figures of how much is lost when applying it but it would still be better off due to the higher percentage of N, as long as conditions are acceptable👍

[@tristiandanckert2270]

Great vid boys

[@user-du7pe6pm7d]

IN america we have what is called tooth chisels - rippers - that just hook up to the back of tractors - 100 Hp or more - that is 36in / 48in long - and yu can get them from 4 to 10 in line which would be about 7 / 8 / 10 feet wide - how hamned hard is the dirt there that a plow such as that - which would do a lot more in less time - would not work - those dozers go so slow - thats ODD ? ! ?

[@forrestmanueljr9196]

You guys could use some rain it looks like!

[@curthazlett595]

In our area spreading urea on the surface doesn’t seem to work very good so it goes on with the air seeder in a separate band. Must be because of our lighter low clay soil

[@pete359r5]

Matt why don't you guys run duels on the tractor's besides the 555? Great video as always stay safe matt

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks Pete! We used to run Duels more but they aren’t so good in the rocks as rocks get wedged between them and damage the tyres👍 the Steiger works well with the big singles😁

[@LLImprovement]

Wonder how that deep ripping will improve the yield in there.

[@09FLTRMM77]

MM77 👍🏼👍🏼 Approved

[@kerrywitherspoon1257]

Kelly chains never herd of. Who makes them. Work on sod farm alberta. They sound very interesting as some feilds. Clods aka lumos problems. Take care. Calgary alberta canada

[@darrylpaulhus3069]

Kelly Engineering i belive they have been bought but similar is available in western Canada buddy of mine in Sask. Has a set

[@vico100]

Cool

[@The_Bushman]

Does the running costs of the D11 for ripping work out cheaper than a high hp tractor for ripping in the long run?

[@djeity]

He said in a previous Vlog that the D11s use 100L/hr of diesel, which is running about AU$1.60/l right now I believe, so that's $160/hr not including man hours, wear and tear, or other items. A D11 has a width of 2.8m and the ripping speed looked like maybe 8km/h, if so that's 2.24ha/hr or 5.2ac/hr, which works out to AU$30/acre in fuel costs only. With that said they have the D11s and got them for a song, whereas a "high HP" tractor would be $500k used.

[@jacksonfamily7559]

@@djeity width between rippers is 1.5 meters so effective ripping width is actually 4.5m

[@djeity]

Thanks! So that's 3.6ha/hr at 8km/hr, which would be AU$44/ha or $18/ac for fuel.

[@joeinglis132]

Do use watch you tube from Scotland as there some good channels

[@russellsmith3825]

Are you key line ripping in places with the dozer?

[@blindfreddy]

Thanks for the easy to understand explanation. Why the huge cost increase? is it in short supply? or are the suppliers just trying to increase profits?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, I think a combination of high demand and supply issues with covid👍

[@robman2095]

Not sure if it is related but Incitec has been convinced by the government to continue operating its urea manufacturing in order to keep our diesel fleet running in Australia after China stopped exporting it. Incitec is now producing urea as fast as it can , and as ammonia is used in the production of urea, maybe that is affecting the supply of anhydrous ammonia and therefore increasing the price this year.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

There was talk of a urea/nitrogen plant at Narrabri, the gas is there in abundance. If that is allowed by the ‘progressive’ people who like to stop things it should make a difference. Jeff

[@viseshseernam39]

Australia is the rarest country of Indian ocean where you can D11 bulldozers

[@robertquast9684]

Looks like tiny could have a bigger ripper when it’s not ripping rocks

[@jc7654]

interesting vid at the end, it looked like you were loosing a fair amount of "N" with the ground as dry as it was , it surprised me

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Yep always lose a bit but percentage wise it’s not much as what you see is gas not liquid👍

[@stewbird]

Could you modify the gas rig to put down P&K if you needed to?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Stewart, yes it could be done but we put that down when planting👍

[@glenntwistitspanner1993]

What company will you use when Big N fold up in Nov this year

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Glenn, we will most likely be using orica👍

[@oliveringram3056]

Yeah......

What was the object of cutting the holes in the tracks?

[@jasonrowe268]

He had few ask this so he gave a good explanation in the previous video.

[@stevenarnette3926]

HOW MUCH DO YOU FARM AND WHAT

[@Northrendish]

Do you guys deal with cutting edge engineering?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Jake, no we haven’t dealt with them to the best of my knowledge👍

[@craigmarr7986]

I watch that guy too, he makes some really interesting videos, and he is a perfectionist, and top in his game.

[@russelljohnston9975]

100 units.... Do you mean pounds or kg per hectare?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi Russell, it’s kilos per hectare but at 100% nitrogen. So it takes about 120kilos of anhydrous ammonia and 200kg of urea to equal 100 units if that makes sense👍

[@samwest9444]

Why was the development block let go?

[@samwest9444]

I mean it doesn’t look like marginal country?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi sam, it was turned to predominantly cattle farming country👍

[@samwest9444]

@@thejacksonbrothers ah ok makes sense. I’m from WA But Traveled around the Roma at George area once and it’s remarkable the amount of nice looking country that’s just left out to shit grass

[@darrylpaulhus3069]

St. George, Roma is due to marginal rainfall for cropping

[@hughoxford8735]

Obviously just be aware that in Australia there are snakes that can kill you.

[@marilynhansen3337]

You should take public speaking, communication class. It would be very helpful for you

Such a strange comment 🤔

[@tomrogers9467]

I thought he got the message through just fine. He’s a farmer, not a news reporter!,!,

Do you realize you say yea every 10 or so words it’s annoying.
