Full on Double Tillage-ALL THE WAY

Full on Double Tillage-ALL THE WAY, Special Thanks to John Deere and Wildman Farms for giving us the opportunity to demo a 2660VT and 2680H the vertical tillage tool and high speed disk. It was an excellent opportunity to compare the two units side by side. We go to see how well the 8RX 410 pulled the large tillage equipment.

Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture.
With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

You have to be John Deere's number one salesman you are very articulate and well watched

[@alexveldhuis6004]

Yep, John Deere's marketing department thought so too.

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

@Doc Savage massey is good buy a fendt instead of Deere.

[@travistharp4215]

I think everyone watching the video felt that chatter lol

[@mikedillon6233]

That's one thing I like about farmers, one of many things. You guys all seem to be on the same team, trying to grow food trying to keep the crops from going under and trying to work together to make the best product you can. Other fields like Construction I can tell you for a fact , I can't get five people who were in my trade agree on the time of day, let alone work with each other for any great length of time, LOL !

[@kevinmeyer3884]

Good observation ! And very true ! I had two wonderful neighbors bring there combines and trucks to help me beat the rain when harvest got way late last fall. My crop would have been ruined without there help.

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Lots of big egos in the trades Management likes to divide. No wonder lots of cheaper labor has taken over in the past 30 years. Everyo 16" on center and keep the handle warm. Be safe and God Bless

[@Funkytubeify]

So true! Describing it as all farmers seeming to be on the same team is perfect. I started hobby farming and am blown away by the support I receive from other farmers.

[@freddeere5343]

Absolutely fantastic video explaining tillage , and the reason for various requirements and options needed,... for all viewers , particularly in-experienced and non-farming people ,...great work Zac and thanks to John Deere too......awesome industry involvement from a major Agri company , we had similar experiences from John Deere Australia years ago with helping with product development .......well done to your family including your Dad !!! ...cheers from Aussie-land :)

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thank you Zach for doing everything you do I love it all hope John Deere demo's a combine and a big header this harvest

[@jasonnorris2979]

If Sam is an indication of all the John Deere's reps in that dealer, I would be deere fan for life. Really good guy it seems

[@marksmith6104]

New Deere equipment and technology is amazing. Nothing else out there like it. Thanks for helping us learn Zach.

[@bradh7472]

JD should be proud of your reviews. They are lucky to have a guy like you that uses the equipment for what its designed for and give opinions on it. Great video again.

[@jimholbay5148]

Awesome demo 👍 Thanks to John Deere for working with you and thank you for all of the great videos 👍🍺

[@bobbysears6626]

Great video Zach! I like to see new and improved equipment. They have came a long way from the basic harrow and turn plow that we growled up using. Thanks again for sharing Zach!👍

[@anthonybanda8192]

I like how you share your equipment perks with the neighbors. It's great to see what they think as well as see their farms . Here in michigan we have planted all but 150 acres of wet areas. This spring we have planted 5200 acres between our land and custom work. Now it's hay season and cattle working and spraying time . Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !

[@trendinvestor2893]

It is probably part of the deal with John Deere to give the machine as much demo exposure as possible. It sounds like a great deal for everyone involved. And we get to watch great videos of it.

[@bitspieces3885]

i wonder if anyone remembers John Deere back in the 1940's/ Oop's, yes I'm that old;) My grandpa had a beast of a John Deere for pulling power. The two cylinder engine was amazingly powerful for its day. The exhaust gave it a signature throaty sound. pop, pop, pop, pop, POP, pop, pop. pop, POP etc. I always heard John Deere tractor's called Popping Johnny's because of that unique sound. But Oh it could be a beast to start. On the left side of the engine was a large, heavy cast iron flywheel that was 24"-28" diameter as I recall. To start the engine you had to rotate that flywheel by hand until the piston came to the top of the compression stroke. Then brace your legs on the ground and pull hard across the top of the flywheel in a counter clockwise rotation. You had to do this again and again because it was not easy to get started. It would wear a man out just trying to start it. But once the engine was running with its popping sound, and you pushed the clutch stick forward. You were rewarded with some right satisfying pulling power. Those were great days for a kid growing up on a farm. Thanks Zach and family for rekindling fond memories from long ago.

[@MattHuey]

Since we the people helped provide this 8RX!! We demand a "hay ride"👍😂😂 All of us!!🚜🇺🇲💯😎 *Also id like too see it as a grain cart tractor!*

FULL ON DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY! Your channel has saved me during quarantine. Cheers from Sydney.

[@albertjagt5713]

it is really interesting to hear you two guys talking in the tractor. Figuring things out on the go and also comparing machines! thanks for letting us in on it!

[@tompinnef6331]

Farming has changed so much from what i was brought up on. Thank you for the video. Take care be safe.

[@joannford5860]

Thanks for the video about the pipe laying with Randy knowing about how you drain the field to have a better field to have a better corn or bean crop. All this is a lot different way in the field. I like seeing what you do everyday on the farm.

[@jamesmckay9966]

You're a GOOD Man Mr Johnson!

[@patmancrowley8509]

A GREAT video, men. Listening to the professional banter between two different farmers was a real educational thrill. Thanks for that!

[@Varrig]

John Deere is knocking it out of the park with some very nice equipment. I can't wait to see what they bring to the table next!

[@porterisaacson415]

I absolute love the demo equipment you get to use! I love the videos and learning so much! Tootles...

[@ryangehrke8019]

Great comparison video for those curious of the differences on the tillage tools. We have some of those red "tractors" in my area too....

[@tykenney906]

Im new to the farming perspective. I have spent my whole life in Illinois and have like tractors and combines since i can remember. We don’t have a family farm sadly, but as I am now learning from your videos and getting to see how awesome your job is I really wish we still did. My great grandpa farmed up until the 70s or 80s raising crops cows pigs and chickens. Really wish we would’ve kept at least some part of his operation going. He is in his early 80’s now and still kickin. He originally had well over 2000-3000 acres of land (not all arable) back then, but over the years has sold it off and is down to 600 acres with most being woodland and the rest contracted to one of the big farm families in our area. Love your videos and im watching every one of them now. Love your operation and that deere is giving you the opportunity to show us whats new and helping you unilaterally. Keep up the content and keep bleeding green baby. #godeere

[@owenheffernan9355]

You should get you a small tractor and some.cows and equipment to make hay and start a.small farm

[@joannford5860]

Awesome to see what John Deer as done with the new tractors and having tracks instead of tires. Nice to watch the different video's thanks for sharing!

[@williamschultz4892]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the green VT vs the Mandako you've been using all spring. Which works better in your read?

[@Bryan-zh6mz]

I would call that new tractor Seymour, as you both commented you can see more country on it while looking for the happy ending button! I remember when a umbrella and fender radio was high tech and the reason my right ear rings. Thanks to John Deere for letting you show off there new line, you both did a great job.

[@powdah6927]

So glad this channels rollin again one of my favorites

[@persistentwind]

7:27 love how you let that camera roll and capture the vibration!

[@ginger_nosoul]

"I cant find the happy ending button" LMFAO 😂😂😂

[@Jschultzy21]

Nice video Zach! We farm in Australia and we are 2/3 finished planting and the rain is coming in nicely :)

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

The 8RT gets to get a little sleep. Your most used machine gets to have a little rest. Good on it. While it gets to sleep a little you get this sweet new 8RX. Real cool watching this tractor! They are making a mod for it and other 2020 Deere machines for FS19! Can’t wait for em. Your map from mappers paradise I’m waiting for the most. Gonna be a good one

[@kevinklingner3098]

I agree those lakes are beautifull we really have nothing like that in Australia because of our floods and droughts.

[@dimduk]

That is a Valley Center Pivot Irrigation system, I grind the welds on the control boxes for those! Very cool to see one in a video!

Your welcome Zach ! I drink Budweiser this winter swing through Indiana and pay up !

Thanks Zach.

Wow that was great using 2 type of tractors and disc's. Good video this city slicker learned a lot ...... thanks

Now that was a cool video. Enjoyed seeing the comparison of the two rigs.

[@benpattinson1]

Great video. It was like a day out with the boys playing with fancy toys. Tillage Sam seems like a good guy to know.

[@mikenawrocki1837]

I think it's so awsome how you farmers work together. Really a massager in the tractor lol.

[@nohand322]

An American Framer and John Deere two things that you just can't beat. 👍👨‍🌾🗽

[@michaelbrennan7148]

Good stuff. Thanks for posting. I remember tee shirts back a few years ago used to have a phrase on it "Its not the size of your Deere but the size of your Johnson." Keep it clean. Always hope with water and soap.

[@w056007568]

It is a good job you have such large fields in your part of the USA that are relatively flat so that you are able to "exercise" such large equipment or indeed move it about easily from field! Here in the UK average arable field size is probably little more than 25 acres and nowadays hedge or tree removal is effectively banned for ecology reasons and any equipment wider than 8.5 ft needs special arrangements to made for each and every move on public roads.

[@gregrourke4182]

I'm NOT a farmer. Why do I watch your videos? They're INTERESTING! Loved this video. (You might Shake Your Head, but I also watch Cole the Cornstar). Keep up the good work! Thanks, from NE Alabama. (We're all about cattle and hogs).

Thank you Zach, one hell of a tractor.

[@kevinsheddrick2757]

I'm a John Deere tractor owner and recent subscriber. For +25 years, my daily commute to work passes by a Case IH dealership. Thanks to your videos, now as I pass by I'm constantly saying to myself "What the heck is that?!?!"

[@bossikofarms6504]

Love seeing all the new JD tech!

[@canvids1]

Thanks for another great video of doing what you do in planting time and a great review of a couple different machines doing about the same job.

[@rickdilts8049]

U and your family r wonderful I never miss a video you r the only one I follow that close

[@rougaroux2359]

Zack I’m telling ya I would love to have the chance to come out that way and get you to show me how big farming works. The farm that I managed was just 100 acres and the largest tractor that we ran was the old Allis-Chalmaers 6060. Shoot when we would rake hay we used a CA Allis-Chalmers that is a 1957 model. I’ve went back and watched your videos sense I’ve lived down here in Florida and wished I was back in the Captain’s Chair of that old 6060 working ground. I’m a newer subscriber but thanks for the great videos pal.

[@notvaporlocked5479]

Great job Zach, thank you

[@cameronbridges5607]

You guys all need a raise!!

[@brentlywhitesell8942]

Love watching! Keep it up!

[@JunkyardTailgate]

Wow Kool! We never pulled any disc with our 4020 JD at 10.0 MPH! In the 1970’s. We would have had to be in 6th or 7th gear! Thinks have changed! Nice vid guys.

[@deandanielson8074]

Hi Zach, beautiful equipment with awesome results. Hard to believe there is a good return-on-investment, however, with such expensive equipment. High speed and large capacity probably enable a good rationale for purchase. I hope so for both farmer and manufacturer. In any case, a fun and informative video. - Dean from Edina

[@not_404mexim]

New to the channel, surely love this type of videos (even if I’m into other stuff, just have lots of preferences tbh). Happy to be here and watch more vids from you!

[@bobleeziegler1879]

Great video for the children.

[@davidgrady1555]

One of the best videos yet, love these comparisons

[@275DWL]

Nothing better to watch after cataract surgery then a couple of mean tractors tearing up some soil. Great video even watching with one eye today.

[@sandranokes7443]

Farming is moving into the future. Better equipment, better crops, more veggies, everyone wins! Great video on this.

[@1Corinthians151-4]

And corn prices are still the same since 2000. We dont win

Happy ending button!🤣🤣🤣 I think you gotta pay extra for that. 😂😂

[@Silvermane187]

Man, Im hooked on your videos. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Belgium.

[@DrEggmanRapid6]

You should do a series of videos (short and long depending on the subject) like the one you did previously about the grain bin set up with lots of detail, just going over stuff like the trueset and other technical details or whatever people want to know (one subject per video) and make a playlist for it. Then, anytime you mention it in a video, or when people who ask about that subject in the comments that havent heard it before in a previous video, or people who just find that stuff cool and wanna hear all about the finest details could be referred to that playlist of videos. I'd watch those in a heartbeat.

[@johnertel2957]

Jake and you look like two kids in a candy store trying that equipment out. . . I wanna be a kid in a candy store!!!! Sweet demo!

[@orrinkuntz7899]

I'll bet you that John Deere's next series of 8rxes will have the vibrating in the belts figured out

[@USMMCE]
