I ( Rob O'Neill) am a farmer in central Nebraska. I farm alongside my father and two brothers. We grow and produce corn and soybeans. I have a passion for farming and the use of technology that makes it more efficient. I hope these videos help farmers connect consumers in what we do on a modern farm. Thanks for watching it.

[@cntslesfabrication]

That was me and a lot of other little boys using anything we could find to play with where ever we were

[@tomadelsberger6101]

I certainly hope you have a blessed holiday season for your family and friends and newest member of family you'll continue to be in my prayers I look forward to seeing your next video

[@jasonike13]

Running a 7 shank ripper in SE NE and had it lift the front end of the tractor off the ground it was so hard. Glad we have trees to back into when I break a shear bolt. Ripping rattles the bones.

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

That was plan F. 😁

[@lovejcdc]

Great video and great job on the ripping. That is probably my favorite part of the farm life is anything tillage. Looks like you have a great helper with you though too. God bless

[@jimpinger6206]

I've seen other farmtubers deep rip and describe the lifting and dropping of the soil, but I could never see it. Couple of your drone sequences really made it obvious. Makes so much more sense now.

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

Yeah it’s harder to see when filming. On my phone screen, was happy with how some shots picked it up.

[@jacobotes8443]

The best lifting action is when you put hammer head shoes on. It pulls pretty hard though.

[@scottb2712]

It seems that you should. Do that more often.. I know that soil type makes a huge difference but we pull ours 6-7mph plus I would rather pull it up where it's hard myself so I can back up and do it again

[@4440chevy]

Thats a true farmer to look around for something on the implement or something in the fence line to use as a hammer LOL!

Those “blocks” of hard soil will mellow out nicely after multiple freeze-thaw cycles over the winter.

Yeah, hope so. I like to do the in the fall for that reason. Hopefully get some moisture too!

Not slamming anybody but I notice watching all you younger farmers, it’s all as fast as possible to get done. You all needed to cultivate beans or corn with an H and 4 row front mount cultivators in creeper gear with the shields down. Thx for the video!!

Good morning buddy how's your new tractor working out for you be safe out there see you next time 👍

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

Like it so far. Few minor quirks but overall solid.

[@montybolinger6383]

Next time you shear a bolt, drop your implement down and back up to roll the shank forward back into its home. Saves on some of the beating factor when it gets to about that 45 degree angle. Brian does fill up with dinosaur bones and govt. juice.

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

Good ol. Brian.

Rip a pass on your end rows where you enter and exit the pass to keep from dragging large dirt boulders up when raising ripper.

[@fokkerd3red618]

Do those Coulters help to keep from building trash in front of the tool? It would be interesting to know if the yield increased in that particular Field.

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

Yeah the coulters slice through it for the shanks to go through. Yield increase was hard to tell in this case.

[@scottpykare801]

We have an 11 shank inline ripper. It does an awesome job of breaking up the hard pan. We normally run it 15"-16". Seen a difference in yield. Trying to use it on all our acres but takes a long time when you have huge acres. Always enjoy your videos Rob. Stay true and safe!!👍👍

Beating on that ripping blade with the ball-peen hammer was hilarious. Why didn't you just back it up against a tree? Ah ha ha ha!

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

The only field here wasn’t a tree big enough. 🤦🏻‍♂️. For a split second I contemplated a power pole.

[@koryleague8833]

Rob that's the most manuel labor I've seen you do 😁😁😁😁jk. They claim in no til after five to seven years the hard pan breaks up naturally, any thoughts on that one

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

I think it does. This has been no tilled and strip tilled for awhile but just turned hard. So 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jacobotes8443]

Around our parts we have dry sandy soil so it compacts bad and ripping is the norm. Some guys I have seen building their own striptillers with chisel shanks like the kverneland ones and big closing coulters. It seems to work pretty good

[@davidthurmond2466]

I pulled a 6 shank ripper with a 8300 John Deere it's a wonder I didn't burn it up dam that ground was hard as a rock

[@TerrellSpivey]

Looks like a trip bolt broke!? Or did a trip mechanism break!?

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

It just uses shear bolts.

[@TerrellSpivey]

@@ONeillFamilyFarms Got cha!✅

[@craigsimon935]

I would hope that this method is viewed as a way to get the soil back versus a method you use repeatedly, i.e. get the soil back to its natural health.

[@maximush9811]

Will that lift the whole profile five or six inches and drop it back down?

[@ONeillFamilyFarms]

Yeah kinda crumbling it in the process without turning it over to much.

I broke a sheer bolt just like that one time. I could not get the shank pushed back down and was a long way from the farm. Finally got pissed. Looked around and thought I bet those power poles are pretty strong backed up to it and worked great. Looked at the pole and it looked fine. Never told anyone and two or three years later a storm came through and that pole was the only one that fell over.
