Getting a straight furrow with the JD 6190R

Following on from the last video we continue to set the field up to get a straight furrow.

[@cibie01]

I am impressed you sorted that out a treat, nice to see care taken in a mans work.

[@ZeroFortyFour]

Loving your videos George! Been subscribed since harvest last year. Always been passionate about farming since I was a nipper just haven't pulled my finger out and gotten into it yet. Applied to go back to college in September on a lv 3 agric course and I can't wait to get my foot in. Watching your videos is genuinely teaching me a few things before I get there. So thanks for doing what you do :)

[@DanBamber]

Some nice ploughing, George. If you don't want the plough to lift as high go into the linkage setting on the tractor's computer and set an upper limit using the scroll wheel.

[@samaverill555]

Nice work George. I never used a roll over plough, but the most satisfying days on a tractor was getting your strike outs and finishes close to perfection. Sandy soils help. Jam on the wheel brakes will swing her around, especially with the 6 furrow thrashing around behind. Looking forward to see the Autosteer used when ploughing

[@zzzzzzzzzz3799]

George, dont know whether you've worked it out or not yet but you can adjust the lower depth limit with that grey coloured toothed wheel next to the slider. push your slider up to the stop (forwards motion) and then depress the toothed wheel with your index finger and you can roll it up or down to act as a hard stop so if you knock the slider you know where it was set.. its a good system once you get used to it. for ploughing I usually start at the end of the field with the plough resting on the ground (no penetration) and then draw on slowly whilst depressing and rolling the tooth wheel (to increase depth of plough) until you get it where you want! All the best.

Good video George, that ground is proper "boys ground". Keep up the good work. Cotlandfarmer

[@Ajt1994]

Good work George look forward to the next one.

[@williambaron5717]

You're like me in the engineering workshop at college I do the best I can and I take pride in my work

[@randallparker8477]

I used to work hard stay straight, to be "artful" as my pop used to say... but when I did really good and was hoping for some praise, pop would say, "You are doing the job like I told you, like you are supposed to do. Payday tells you if you did the job, now get back to work."

[@RoanJS]

How about. "What did you stop for. You got a field to go."

[@fisher7814]

Looking good George. Top man

[@BHbobafett]

@george The lock on the deere can be adjusted I am sure on most tractors it can. But there are 2 stops on the axel, I think they are something like 17mm spanner. It depends on tire width and how it was set up at the factory and dealership. But we have 540's on the front of our 6150r and she has a great lock since we made a few minor adjustments. Just be careful with clearance on the fenders and tire tread clipping the chassis obviously but it worth a look.

[@blood-n-guts3256]

What does the lock mean?

[@mattbob8508]

That why I like my mf6616 when ploughing because the turning circle is so good

[@big23man]

Good old boy 👴🏻 having a gander on the way to get his newspaper

[@MalcOfLincoln]

Very impressed George, considering you've never used that tractor and plough before. I was having fun in a field on Saturday, but of a different type lol.

[@exileinderby51]

Nowt wrong with having pride in your work and taking a bit of time to straighten things out. It gets done in the end and you can look back at it and feel satisfied that you've done a good job. Nice to see you setting the plough up as well. Have you done any ploughing with a conventional plough, you know, setting out ridges and finishings, that sort of thing?

[@kevinwillis9126]

cracking job George...

[@kevinwillis9126]

joe lamps AKA MJM dick and head.....

[@darcyheald3644]

On the 3 point control the little white wheel to the side if you push it down and turn it that little stopper should move and that should se your maximum height

[@HerrHalmakenreuter]

Sauberes Pflugbild , kann man nicht meckern. Nice video

[@markhughes5821]

First like and comment 😀 another great video George. Keep up the good work

[@loocstac]

Where are the gulls? There's usually hundreds of them when plowing!

[@farmerstephen]

Why do you have the plough so narrow George. I have the same 6 furrow plough on heavy land and I plough at least 16 inch furrows. When on light land I plough at 20 inch ( we only gave small amount of light land though)

[@case4006]

Nice plowing thats one thing i really miss doing gave u time to think

[@allotmenttimes8873]

Split you're brakes George there's a peg pull it out put for good sake make shaw you piut the peg back in before going back on to road when you spilt the brakes light tap to in which way you want to steer so if you want to steer right press the right brake alone independent braking but slowly duss it as the wait off the plough when lifted out hope it helps ??

[@zzirSnipzz1]

You remind me of my ole boy he likes to plough into the corner, when other contractors around here leave the corner which is just lazyness

[@onyourbikeuoldfart]

Looks good to me George.

[@sisutrucks]

fired up the old tractor today, but needed it for pulling the snowblower :D

[@rickysdiecastmodels3067]

Nice job

[@emilbengtsson9415]

Nice Video Mate! :P

[@diederikvandedijk]

3:50 I guess you have figured out by now, that you should not flick the SCV Control Lever all the way to the detent position. Just move it in the 'manual' range to extend or retract and simply release it to stop the hydraulic ram. When you 'click' the lever in the detent position (at the end of the levers travel) the ram wil extend or retract to the preset height (based on flow rate and timing).

[@itsalongshot7118]

We have two identical jd one with auto steer one without and the one without has a better lock.May be how they are set on the auto steer on the front axle

[@jwdagriculture]

how come you don't mark your fields out saves so much time but ploughing doing a lovly job

[@joannamaskrey9052]

have u noticed a time difference doing the same jobs since downgrading to smaller tractors haha honest question no pun intended good sir ! cheers from AR

[@canvids1]

nice video George. I would be doing the same thing taking pride in what I do.

[@banditbeggers533]

Hi mate may be a daft question but how do you get a straight line do you aim for something or just drive as straight as you can. I’m not a farmer just enjoy watching them. Would like to maybe 1 day

[@06Wolfy]

4wd never have a great steering lock on any make but castor angle used to be pretty good

[@JohannesGustavssons]

Please do a video about pros and cons with JCB vs JD (or conventional tractors in general), if you already done that I apologize. Any thoughts about MB trac? their a bit old but the same concept as fastrac.

[@mikeclifton7778]

Very good, missing a Flodger-Dodger though! One question from a non-ploughman: Am I right in thinking that the top link will be " floating" while in work?

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Yes, you should be able to take the top link off whilst you are going up the field👍

[@hywelisthebest]

Nice George. Quick question - when it's all setup and running well with the toplink floating in the slot like that, would your link arms also be in float? like you would when pulling a subsoiler? or are they fixed in position?

[@robthompson466]

From the bit of ploughing I've done, you set the height/depth with the position control then use the draught control to set how much a arms are allowed to move in the soil, I might be wrong but its sorta how it works in my head haha

[@hywelisthebest]

Yes probably right. I am sure that draught control works based on wheel slip

[@robthompson466]

Hywel Phillips Ive always been told it works off the load on the link arms to control the wheelslip so your not wrong haha

[@Chieftain7530]

How did the JCB 4220's fuel consumption compare to the JD's when ploughing? I would imagine, considering their reputation, the JD would be worst at fuel consumption but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the JCB either.

[@frasermurray3969]

It's different to the setup on my farm mf6465 and lemken 5 furrow plough

[@5er593]

Why do you still use plow?

[@Mrgreendragon3]

@10.40 tractor spotter or school headmaster ??

[@ajadrew]

Would love to know what the screens & buttons are all for..

[@TheBritish_Canadian]

ones a gps screen and one with all the buttons is the tractor info and gear adjustments etc

[@ajadrew]

Thanks....Tractors didn't have that stuff when I lived on a farm as a kid..;-))

[@umwhatthistime]

do you call an up and down a round or a stetch? or what?

[@andrewwilliams7282]

from one end to the other we cal a pass and from one end to the other and back we call a bolt

[@umwhatthistime]

ah..I am in Suffolk where are you?

[@robhallam9363]

why dont you plough out furrow its alot quicker and easier

[@jbss7382]

A JD with sub 50 degree steering lock? Rubbishy I thought most JD's were 52' standard

[@paul.maplelandscaping1004]

Driving straight is becoming a lost art, nice work,check out my ploughing vids.

[@Komputerforingen]

when i am plowing, driving straight is not a 1. priority for me. i know its looking good, but i am more interested in making the surface smooth. understood in the way that, it shouldnt be possible to see how many furrows have, when i am looking at the field. it have seen some really bad exsamples where i could easily count the furrows on the plow, and that made me grinch a little.

[@blood-n-guts3256]

I don'ts the ploughs that flip over in the US. What gives? Help a poor city guy out please.

[@hussietart]

Sorr,y could not catch what you were calling poor on the JD.

[@dansneyd4646]

tom holmes the steering lock. on our 6420 you can adjust the lock using the stops. duno about this newer JD though

[@frank.s74]

me too, did he mean the diff lock? If so, yes, on this '13 MY there is only the foot knob, whitch was a bit poor compared to the competition. The later Greenstar4 Models are way better with diff lock automatic.

[@dansneyd4646]

he meant the steering lock. or turning circle is probably a better way of saying it
