Chisel Plowing With The 7120 Case IH Magnum! (2024 Fall Tillage)

[@woodiekrugel3606]

I recently got introduced to Gierok farm. I love your KZbin. I am a 78 year old “farmboy” that grew up in Southern Minnesota. I started driving tractor at 7 years old. A farmal B. My dad died when I was 12. By the time I was 15 I was farming the 120. I’ve lived in Oregon now for 55+ years and worked at many different jobs. Mainly construction. But my love for farming is always with me. Seeing you and your dad work together makes me often think of how it might have been if my dad had lived. Anyway, I could go on and on… but thanks for your videos. Happy Holidays!

[@oldsoul6483]

That tractor is something to be proud of, really clean, and a work horse.

[@larryturner4417]

I am a firm believer in chisel plowing. Breaks up the hard pan and limits soil blowing and water runoff. Keep it up!

[@steinwaymodelb]

Those Magnums were always a piece of eye candy, but one in mint condition working in field is a beautiful thing.

[@nathanalmond8280]

Aaron glad the tractor is doing well for you. Good looking soil. Tillage is something you do when you need to. I chisel plow most of the time but sometimes I have to moldboard plow. It'll make a good seed bed next year.

[@honey8784]

I’ve got a Brilliant Cultipacker, It’s great for seedbed.

[@KleverKonnections]

Love ALL your videos because you still farm the way we did back in the 70's on a dairy farm in Ohio. Baling hay, picking corn, and milking those cows! Awesome!

[@dralord1307]

Some new rubber, Duels on the back, and a front weight then you will be in plowing heaven with that beautiful tractor.

[@7120Magnum]

What size wheels are you running on it? Going to 20.8R42s on the back of our 2WD 7120 from 24.5-32s, followed by duals the following year completely transformed it.

[@clinthochrein888]

That magnum is music to my ears! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@ibleedihred2844]

Love that the garden tractor lives with the big boys

[@JohnMcEnaney-j3f]

Enjoy Your videos and the new tractor sounds great.

[@harveypenner2386]

Another good one! Thanks for taking us along!!

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Thanks for this! I could watch tractors at work all day! I’m just a vegetable grower for my own family so my opinion isn’t important but I know a lot of guys here in Ontario are practicing strip tillage, the best of both worlds!

[@tractordan933]

Nice lawn/garden tractor, never new you had that.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

You're welcome.....but thank you for putting out these videos. Really appreciate and enjoying them Aaron.

[@jimsteele7108]

You got a heck of a tractor there son.

[@mikeapenhorst7706]

We chiselplow all the corn ground in the fall come spring it's ready to go in the rolling hill of southern Minnesota

[@wi_ultra_farmer]

That’s a sweet tractor!

[@Timkrenz-gr6ol]

THAT DISK CHISEL PLOW IS ACTUALLY A LATE GLENCOE !!!! GOOD VIDEO 👍😎 AARON 👍

[@LarryVetter]

We ran a Glencoe disk chisel for quite a few years, pulled with a 1086. It was all the 10 could do to pull it. It's a good disk chisel though.

[@PeterDittmer]

?doesn't look like one ?

[@jamesjolly7406]

👌💯Excellent👌 video

[@paulreis1648]

That should really help with the crops . Great video

[@johnbeam-d3v]

Loved the video. Can not wait to see what duals are gonna do for it. Thanks for the ride my friend.

[@Blackwellll3066]

It's great for sure will be cool seeing in the future what it will all do

[@gerardcamblong2788]

Nice vidéo 👍.

[@ronkmiecik7442]

Thank you for another good video!

[@atomicwedgie8176]

Switch the coulter to throw the dirt/trash toward the center of the chisel plow away from the tire struts... Nice tractor!

[@jamesmarsh4957]

I think that is a fine tractor , the bit of work you done with it so far shows its in good condition , pulls the chisel fine , and looks very tidy , sounds good too and should last you a long time , The older tractor with out all the electrics are much better and not so much to go wrong , and they hold there value , really good perches

[@LyndenHovell]

One nice thing about those ridge fields is the result of a century or more of field work causes the edge of the field to become a definite edge (followed by a sudden drop off into the woods!) I was always afraid of those edges when I used to help my uncle make hay up on Montana Ridge.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting

[@brianrichardson7107]

Great video well done

[@TimothyEhrich]

I think the soil condition, lay of the land and anticipated climate conditions tells us what is the best practice for any given season. Who would know better of such things than the man who knows the land and depends on it being in the best possible condition. I'm with you on watching a clean plow share turning some soil and breathing in the scent of freshly turned dirt.

[@Tinnunulus]

Great video great to see how you keep your machines under cover, whatever the make and model they are expensive to purchase and work hard for you and deserve to be looked after, keep up the great work watching from the UK

[@honey8784]

Look at that wooden barn, !!!!

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Aaron

[@robertlusnia506]

Enjoyed the ride on the chisel plow, like your tractor

[@danielhurrle7008]

We have heavy clay and heavy dirt. If we don't fall plow/ rip it takes a long time to get the ground fit. We rip with a Magnum 305 and a 530c disk ripper. Then we do a pass or two with a cultivator/ digger in spring depending on conditions.

[@billjoat]

Thats a good lookinf tractor Aaron. A sweet 7120!! However you do need some new rear tires

[@user-JamesLacy]

It did a good job for like you said needing back tires. I never pulled a chisel plow. Did a lot on a H Farmall with a pull type 2-14s with a hand trip. Aww the good old days. lol

[@craignepp524]

I have a 7120 2wd, just short of 6000 hrs. Bullet proof tractor. I plant, bale and pull 750 demco wagons with it. Never done tillage with her. That tractor never leave the farm as long as I'm alive. We notill beans into cornstalks with 12 row kinze, use a landoll vt on bean stuble in fall with field cultivator in the spring and plant. If conditions are right we will plant into vt ground in spring also.

[@mseetherh]

Nice sounding tractor but she needs some new slippers for Christmas. 🎄

M isn’t as red as it used to be but she still has her niche . What a view . Gonna have to wash the Case , can’t have the green outshine the red .👍😁

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Aaron

[@SemperFido9915]

It's a beautiful tractor, Aaron, but it seems with you working into the night, it could do with some LED lightbars on the front and back.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Sweet combo.

[@marymartin-schreiber7678]

My husband’s uncles have the orange 1500 DEUTZ ALLIS , it’s now a 11 shank . My husband uses it to plow land for the municipality that they apply sludge on . FYI they have come out with a 1/16 scale orange spectacular 1500 Allis charmers for collectors. He wants that for his collection

[@Mountains-e8q]

When are you putting the Duals on? That would help with traction a lot more. And I second it you need LEDs to see it much better.

[@theburnhams2925]

Good video, Aaron! That chisel plow "told ya 'no' " a couple of times... Get those duals (and weight) mounted and show us what that 7120 can really do. Some new "rears" wouldn't hurt, either....(but you knew that...) Judicious tilling is still a good thing. It doesn't appear you've overdone it. Brush in the waterways does miracles. It's all good....

[@Pileits]

Thanks again

[@harvestingharrolds1086]

I'm all no-till except for establishing a new hay field and running a chisel around the edge of the woods.

[@jamesjolly7406]

Hi from Dexter🏠Missouri

[@billbooth4147]

I do tillage,chisel plow and heavy disk for corn and wheat normally

[@adamhines1150]

You need to update your lights to LED...... I spent a lot of time in a tractor the same as that one as a teenage, one of my favourite older tractors along with the 1086 international! love the videos!

[@DonWelter]

Your 7120 ought to be a real horse with duals and extra weights. Doesn't seem to lack for power. Gets to be a challenge to get any late afternoon work done this time of year with the days getting shorter. Deer gun season is on this week in Ohio, so we try to stay around the buildings as much as possible.

[@PeterDittmer]

That makes good sense.

[@ValleyViewDairy]

The magnums are overall good tractors. They have lots of reliable power. But I will say the steering and hydraulics leave something to be desired. They are super reliable.

[@bonniehibma3580]

Powerful tractor, we use strip till here. But the hill farm you have turbo till is wise.

[@countk1]

It might be the video, but it seems the lighting could be improved on that tractor. Keep the old lights though for when you sell it again maybe. I bet these Cases will keep decent value for collectors (I'd love one if I had the money) There are 7120 ready LED kits out there in your country for about 950 USD.

[@trentonromig9765]

We do a little bit of it all no till plowing discing chisel plowing change it up our county got two notill drills we can rent now so that helps I just no tilled about 15 acres of wheat right before thanksgiving in south Central Pennsylvania

[@dennistembreull2718]

You should put led lights on the tractor

[@josephscottlandis7084]

I saw they have a used one at Cloverdale equipment there in Curtis Wisconsin

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Hi good evening Gierek farms from Indiana

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Tillage is a tool in the box. Not inexpensive, but necessary in different conditions. I'm in favor of getting the land "right" with tillage once, and using NoTil until conditions such as ruts or compaction become a problem. Fuel savings offset most yield reduction in the first few years, then yields trend upward as the soil finds it's balance point of more organic matter and even more earthworms.

[@case1020]

Spot on! I'm the same way. I've been a no-tiller for a long time.

[@TheGoodguy68]

Please explain, using chemicals is better than using fuel?

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@TheGoodguy68 Yes, that is part of the equation. Even with tillage, you are going to use chemicals. Many of the same ones, especially the Pre Emergents. Only difference is in the "burn down" chemicals. Then you factor in the time, not to mention the fuel burned for tillage, and the economics favor NoTil. Then we can study soil structure. Undisturbed soil is actually a better biome for earthworms, and the organic matter that is left on top can slowly turn into a bit of mulch that helps retain water and slow erosion. If you want to go further, tillage releases Carbon into the atmosphere, whereas NoTil sequesters Carbon in the soil. It does take a few years for yields to match tillage, but it does happen. And $ per acre is what can make or break a farm.

[@TheGoodguy68]

@MorganOtt-ne1qj sounds great but tillage built America.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

@@TheGoodguy68 you don't use more chemicals to no till some farms are using less because diseases/ fungus's tend to be less prevalent in undisturbed soil

Those 7120 tractors have got balls. I bought a 2394 this year and john deere guys said it wouldn’t pull and all I can say is that 504 Case will pull like crazy and will out pull a 4640 any day

[@briancolshan1613]

That John Deere is worth more than ur case any day of the week

[@Otherrandomguy42]

@@briancolshan1613 who cares you don't have equipment for its resale value. And he's not wrong I ran a chopper pulling a 1000 cubic foot high dump behind it. And my 8940 Magnum would load that with corn in 5 minutes 20 ton /ac corn with a 3 row head at 7 mph my 8320 deere took 7 minutes in the same scenario and couldn't get above 5-6 mph worst decision I ever made was trading my Magnum on that 8320

[@PeterDittmer]

​@@Otherrandomguy42What do you run for a corn chopper?

[@brianbyington4561]

Can you put bolt on dual wheels on the 7120?

[@toddjohnson7972]

Reason it plugs by tire is the shovel throws the dirt right towards the tire so it is going to limiting the space there. Flip the shovel to throw away from tire.

[@PeterDittmer]

Yes, flip it or put straight chisel point on that shank.

[@ronrosian4072]

We have been straight no till. Rotate corn and beans. Central Pa.

[@case1020]

Im in the hills of west Central iowa. Im a no-tiller and have been for a long time. I do work an occasional farm as needed because after so many years they get rough.

[@patrickkelley438]

On hilly ground a multi-faceted tilling regime works well. Some areas need full till and some areas need low till or no till. To me it depends a lot on the crop going in next year. If it's corn this far north you need black dirt so it will warn up quicker. For beans I chop stalks and no till.

[@LarryVetter]

The caseIH really starts nice. You will be amazed by how much those front wheels do. If it was two wheel drive, you wouldn't have gone anywhere.. Here in Iowa, we use a disk ripper on the corn stalks after they are cut. Spring we use a field cultivator to prepare the ground for planting.

[@jimwhite1061]

Magnus the magnum 😮

[@edelm6062]

Could that one shovel that tends to plug, could you turn that shovel to throw away from the gauge wheel?

[@russellkoopman3004]

With your hills the chance of erosion is high. Leaving lots of stover on top is important but the right tillage is so helpful also. Balancing act that you'll have to learn.

[@josephscottlandis7084]

I wanted to mention you should check out weaverline feed carts their electric they have different sizes and they're dependable and they're made here in Pennsylvania

[@hturbo1007]

When you get new Tires in the rear, fill them with calcium. Hard on the rims but you can't beat it for weight. Dulls and a full stack of weights up front and it'll pull a 11 shank on those hills easily. Guys do exactly that here on the hills with the heavy clay here in eastern Iowa all the time with the same tractor. 👍

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Shouldn't load radials need wheel weights

[@hturbo1007]

@Otherrandomguy42 we have two tractors with radios full of fluid. The traction is incredible.

[@PeterDittmer]

Fluid is cheaper, but hard on metal rims if the inner tube stems seep.
