What a transformation nice job guys 👍👌👌

[@michaelsmietana119]

looks beutiful fellows.

[@glennrhinehart3186]

We ain’t hardly been dry enough to do any dirt work. That work you’re doing is looking good!!😎

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

This was about 2 weeks ago. It’s sure not that way anymore. That old steep hill dries up pretty quick though.

[@glennrhinehart3186]

We ended up with roughly 5”. Places north of us a few miles rumor has At about 7. I guess down around y’all had really bad storms,hope y’all were spared!!

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

@@glennrhinehart3186 Thankfully, the storms stayed south of us. It really tore up Mississippi.

Really interesting video Dylan your track digger has definitely paid for itself...I'm sure you don't regret the purchase. Great to see the start to finish process.Thanks for taking the time to video it and share it.

[@edmondgarcia7432]

Good job guys looking.

[@paulmontpetit8922]

you fella's do some awesome work !

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Thank You!

[@teajohn6822]

Interesting, Soil and Water pulled the pipe up here. We have to use rock till about 18 inches from the top and then cover with fine fabric and top soil on top.

[@samtalley791]

Nice project I hope to see more. This is something I’m wanting to learn how to do on my farms.

[@johnnyholland8765]

I forgot . Great job on the ditch. I am in middle Ga.

[@gerardgouvion7437]

That makes that old 4650 sing

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Just wow honestly!! What an amazing job, you two have become quite the duo in earth moving!! I think that pan is second only to the trackhoe as far as the dirt work goes!! I bet that was a white knuckle moment on the third pass when it wanted to tip over 😳😳😳 I was saying to myself a few times, man that thing seems to be tippy and bouncy 🤔 Then you mentioned it, but I'm sure the more you use it the more that won't be obvious while in use! Did ole Bruiser ride the whole day with ya? That was epic to see, he was sleeping sitting up there towards the end 😁😁😁 I totally agree with the older stuff, and toy said it best....it's paid for!! 😉😁 I wish I could get someone like y'all down here to fix that one huge wet spot in the bottom. That pan would be perfect to move the high sides down into the middle!! Thank you both for bringing us along, look fwd to seeing what's next!! Oh and I love the voiceover shots again, I wish I could learn that editing trick, very well done sir!! Job looks amazing!! 😁😁😁👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 HATE I missed the live the other day, plow issues had me on tunnel vision 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

I’ve gotten used to the pan rocking over the years. Every pan I’ve pulled over the years has done it. Some are just worse than others though. Yep old Bruiser rode most of the day. I will let him off occasionally to get out and play. I would be glad to help ya if we were closer for sure.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@DylanJoyceFarms Y'all do great work!! Thank you sir!!

[@Plowboy4960]

Guys did a nice job on it that is one of the hardest thing to do I think is trying to get everything leveled out without the water trying to wash it out again

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

We are hoping to get some soybeans on this farm as soon as possible so that the ground is covered and hopefully prevent erosion.

[@danielhiller9165]

a front wheel assist would be better on the pan and ripper. you be able to pull the ripper faster to shatter the ground more

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Send about $70k our way and we’ll get right on that.

[@davidthurmond9016]

Y'all need ya a 4650 4 wheel drive to hook to that lol

[@tebfarms939]

Great work guys, how does the dirt not fall out of the pan after you get a load, is there a hydraulic gate of some kind?

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Yessir a hydraulic gate moves up and down bud you watch the video closely you can see it move up and down occasionally.

[@davidthurmond9016]

Back in the the 80s there was a farmer named Mike Haynes that pulled one of those with a 4440 and a 4450 four wheel drive

Yessir. Nothing better.

[@terrywoodrow1478]

I didn’t realize your ground was that rolling we put in dry dams, a lot fight erosion all the time I’m going to half to come down there and look around to see the lay of the land. I thought you were a lot flatter Be a good field trip

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

We’ve got a wide mixture of ground. Steep hills, rolling hills, flat ground, poor ground, good ground. Tennessee has something for everybody lol.

[@terrywoodrow1478]

@@DylanJoyceFarms I know exactly what you mean everybody thinks like northern Illinois flat and black. My topsoil might be 2 foot deep here if we’re lucky

[@mythreesonsfarms]

Just my 2 cents worth but I would put that in a grass strip abuot 25 yards wide.

[@mississippifarmer4301]

Where did you buy that pan?

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

From an individual in Bradford Tn

[@gregcatlett1458]

You sure your not building ponds ??😂😂. Good luck men hope works Let us see it after a good rain just curious. Thanks guys,you didn’t show us putting fuel them green machines 😂😂👍👍.

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

They really don’t burn that much fuel. We do most all our work at about 1800rpm

[@jimpolk]

Preface this statement by saying I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about. However, I'm surprised you didn't scrape the dirt off the top of the hills instead of the side of the hills. How come?

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

We are just trying to preserve the top soil on top of the hills. While we are making our cuts the pan also dumps dirt into the old ditch to help level it out. Cutting out the soil in front of the levy also helps to give us more water holding capacity. I’ll try to address this more in a future video. Thanks for a great question.

[@jimpolk]

@@DylanJoyceFarms thanks so much for the reply. Now it makes sense. I love your channel. Great stuff.

[@johnnyholland8765]

Speaking of so called newer and better I got stuck twice yesterday breaking peanut land for a friend on a 240 hp Case IH tractor pulling a 5 bottom in furrow switch plow. Both times the hydraulics are lacking in response due to the tractor being all push button controls. It has a CVX drive trans which is also slow in shifting response. If it had levers and a manual trans I wouldn't have gotten stuck because my human response time is quicker. Had everything set a 100%. Also having trouble with it de rating the engine to idle due to throwing a code from the damn DEF injection system. In my opinion absolute junk. Waiting on the dealership to send someone to fix it. Did the land owner help with the bill?

[@DylanJoyceFarms]

Na but the rent is affordable for the area so I don’t mind putting some into it.

[@johnnyholland8765]
