Cale Carlson grew up on his family century old farm in central Nebraska. He started farming on his own by renting ground from a neighbor in 1998. Cale Married Megan in 1999 and they went on to have 5 Children. In 2012 Cale incorporated his farm business LEAAD Farms (which is the acronym from their 5 kids). Cale has a passion for the farm and family as it takes a team to handle day to day operations of a diversified farm with Corn, Seed Corn, Soybeans, and Cattle. Cale believes that everybody has a story to tell and encourages people to share their experiences.

I grew up on a farm and.. the thing i remember most was that you are basically looking behind the tractor 90% of the time and forward only 10%.. and even at that, you can hardly se what is happening. This one where you just sit almost like magic with perfect ovesight over the machiner is freaking fantastic

[@apn42]

The main advantage of the Nexat is that you always use the same tracks which cover about 5% of the field. This is called controlled traffic farming and improves yield because 95% of the soil is newer compacted.

[@petermuller3995]

If you look at it in a simple way and listen to the manufacturer yes, otherwise it gets more complicated.

[@matsv201]

You still get soil compaction on deepth. of cause, the wheels are really far apart so that should be mitagated somewhat

[@Captain-Max]

That's like the fighter pilot of farming driving the A380 of farming. Who knew when they said, all those teenage years spent playing video games would pay off, that they were right.

[@troyadams739]

Hi from Australia... This i as the future of farming.... As ll in one.. cultervation, planting,harvesting Can't wait till we get it in our farm ..

[@jvin248]

"One machine that can run multiple modules planting harvesting tillage cultivation spraying fertilizing..." which almost sounds like This Tractor Thingy parked in the other bay ;) This type of machine (there are smaller sizes like this machine in Europe for decades) allows setting up permanent lanes so all your machinery compaction is concentrated and not on nearly every row like it is with conventional tractors. Kind of like irrigation pivot tracks.

I'm praying for everyone in the Midwest and Nebraska with all these tornadoes hitting today big news here in New England.God bless

[@neoplan6116]

LOVE they visited you Cale, you are the perfect guy to test it under REAL US conditions! I saw this system live here in Germany and I am fascinated by this, lot of ingenuity and engineering went in this. One thing because I am pretty sure this question will bother the one or another: why are the additional small wheels? Well, they are a solution for the strict German road regulations how much weight every single wheel is allowed to distribute on the street. With the additional wheels taking some weight on the road this regulations are circumvented/fulfilled.

[@tedhansen3846]

[@godoftheinterwebz]

the small wheels support the module when it is removed from the machine

[@neoplan6116]

@@godoftheinterwebz wrong! They dont even have any connection to the modules, stop telling nonsense!

Cooool looking machine very interesting in my younger years I worked at company that built aerobactin equipment for golf courses and athletic fields . I worked in the R&D shop. So this machine is Cooool to me . The name of the Company was West Point Products in West Point Pa in 1964 - 1968

[@fredericdelage1542]

Magnifique vidéo sur le nexat pour sème et bien intéressante et bien équipés et autres matériel 😂😮😅😊

[@davegift197]

Cale, this machine is insane! I suppose it's set up like your others so it has the field laid out and with GPS knows exactly where it is. So, that's why it can have the "driver" facing backwards monitoring the planting. I am only part way through the video and it's buffering so not sure if you're going to get to operate this engineering marvel. It's great that you are an influencer that you get to try this on your farm. I saw Laura in the cab the other day in her video. And that part seems similar to "normal" tractors you use, except the way it's positioned at the end and facing backwards. I imagine it would seem weird in the cab operating this. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to back out and get back in to the video to see if the buffering has stopped. Great job. (Turned out the Hotel wifi I'm using was the culprit.)

[@sew1194]

All in on one machine, stopped completely when something in it fails.

[@914Rocky]

I saw that beast on Laura’s channel too. How did you get lucky to get it on your farm? Laura had to visit a neighbor’s farm to see it in action.

[@asmrhead1560]

That thing is so cool, but it really is just a novelty in North America. Without solid, reliable dealer support it's a dead machine walking (rolling?) Makes perfect sense for places like Western Europe though where farmers are drowning in road and vehicle regulations.

[@cdalton3169]

Lot of glass in that cockpit! One blown fuse away from being stone blind! Really cool!

[@thomaspowers4952]

Not a farmer but I would be interested in learning more about there process on how the designers / engineers came up with such an amazing solution, what the biggest engineering hurtles were and how fast does it go on the Autobahn.

[@mattphillips4260]

how did you get hooked up with that big machine

[@Dannyp8038]

So much better than shorts 😊

[@williamhawks2372]

That is a really good machine to have and it looks really easy to learn to run and you run it just like a professional operator maybe you should train other people to run The machine on the side and I have the kids take over the farm gonna be busy

[@machineryworking4589]

Agricultural machinery is a faithful companion of farmers,

[@Vortex-Gamin]

Very cool machine.

[@jvin248]

See if you can get the Tribine folks to demo a machine this fall for side by side comparisons. That machine was designed "so you don't need Laura driving the auger cart!" Lol. Just you and the truck driver. The Nexat harvesting bins may hold similar volume so no need for the extra tractor and cart operator either. Since Laura tipped us off on the Nexat price of $2.7M, you should do a comparison of standard tractor+harvester+auger cart+planter etc. to show you can buy this one machine or this other half dozen tractors and implements. Should make that comparison showing acres per day effectiveness by function too; you can answer if either can plant/plow/harvest five thousand acres in a week? Then the question, do you have a second Nexat as backup to cover breakdowns? Because you know as soon as you cut the hay it's going to rain soon.

[@PhotoArtBrussels]

What a flexible machine. How is the fuel efficiency compared to running your normal setup? Comparative speed of planting?

[@user-cc1hl4wx3q]

How many machines does that one unit replace ? Cost to own and maintain against individual machines ?

[@ZootSuitCooter]

Very cool, everything about it seems quite practical. Expensive, no doubt.

[@neoplan6116]

Well - at the end of the day not necessarily because you have one expensive carrier and the modules are on a similar pricetag as the common ones BUT you dont need a complete, very expensive, harvester and the harvest module of this thing is powerful as hell...

[@godoftheinterwebz]

$2.7M

Nice you got 2024 season next act demo at your farm

[@cliveklg7739]

If this was John Deere or IH made, it would already be starting to take over. Although I don't know if there is a version big enough to suit Montana wheat farmers yet. I've watched the huge machines they drive and pull. Geeze. Saw this running at our neighbors just East over Hwy 14 from you. That modular system looks so much easier to service, especially compared to Combines and trying to get into the guts of them.

[@quinnparks413]

Is it better than the normal way. Fuel, seed holding stuff like that

[@sixthmanU]

Wow, very cool looking machine and has the futuristic feel for sure. When first seeing it, it almost looked like unmanned! Being I'm not a farmer, what do you feel are some disadvantages of a machine like this vs what you use now? It seems like a swiss army knife of farm equipment.

[@curtisanderson1830]

Could it be totally program to a field so it would be totally hands off planting

Does the $2.7 Million price tag get you all the attachments of just the base until?

Howdy from Texas, what is the purpose of this machine

[@tomfarley3924]

So Cale, I suppose you have placed your order for two of these machines. 😂 Seriously, I know they're expensive but if you could, can, or even want to order one, what is the wait time for delivery? Being built overseas, I'm guessing a 12 month delivery after you place the order.

[@bigdog2024]

that is a cool machine but seems to plant less rows at a time than your JD? But it is very fast! So maybe it evens out. Got to be expensive!

Saw it years ago in Ukraine. I hope it is bulletproof now. How is the compaction?

[@tomgregory5814]

Is the plan to buy this machine or to rent it out as required each year. God knows how much this thing would cost to buy. You said it can harvest at the end of the season. Would require changing the heads? The assumption would be that it is overall faster to plant and eventually harvest over traditional combines. Great video. Thanks!

[@joshuamcfalls990]

How much seed does it hold, is it the same row spacing, and what power it

[@neoplan6116]

Ok, just started the video but saw your question: its driven by an diesel electric system, powered by two 550 hp Liebherr engines. It holds up to 20.500 liter (around 5414 US-gallons) of seed/fertilizer in 4 tanks. You can choose the row spacing like you need it and its built for controlled traffic - always using the same "tracks" for everything because: this is NOT a seeder, it is a carrier system for all kind of modules from seeding over fertilizing, standard soil work and harvesting.

[@neoplan6116]

Ok, I watched the video a little further and I see - some of my information are redundant.... 😂

A marskin that you don't see very often. Test drive was done in Ukraine before the war.

[@robertdwilliamsjr4781]

CALE . What is the advantage of that machine. Isn't your planter wider and do a good job.

[@primeflux1]

One of the main sale points is to my understanding: Soil compaction. By being wide and designed in such a way that the wheels drives the same path on the ground for every operation, which means the soil compaction only happens on those paths. The rest of the ground is not driven on.

It takes up half the shop and the is just the planter. Once you get the sprayer and combine attachments, you are going to need a bigger building

So where the tires are on the machine you plant nothing? Seams like a huge waste of expensive farm ground. On a 160 acres your losing at least 10 rows of crop.
