Home made Disc-Chisel Plow in Action! Kioti RX7320 & New Holland Tractor action!

Join me for today's Illinois farm vlog, food plot and land management video as I get to try out my recent purchase of a home made disc-chisel plow on a 6 acre set of fields! Today Curtis Rogers (Midwest Farm & Land) and I will be tag teaming to work up some farm fields with our tillage implements for soil preparation for a fall food plot planting. Curtis will have his New Holland (25 or 28 hp..) and I will have my Kioti RX7320. First he will bush hog the taller grass/weeds with his bush hog, then I will run the fields with the Kioti and the home made disc chisel plow, then he will come behind me with his new home made tillage implement that has chisel spring shanks, a buster bar to break up the dirt clumps, then a dirt roller basket to smooth out the dirt. This system worked fantastic and we were able to get a lot of food plots prepared to planting. Also some great ground video and drone video shots of both of the tractors and implements in action. On today's food plot mission I used my DJI Phantom 4 pro drone for the drone shots.

Here I am watching the "dizzle" plow again lol

[@BackFortyTV]

Been binge watching your videos again all week. Always some new fresh content, even older stuff.

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol thanks man! We've been keeping busy that's for sure!!

[@BackFortyTV]

@@kapperoutdoors you and me both! I gotta start making more vids! I’ve been so busy I’ve been slacking.

[@sonsofthunder3100]

Really enjoyed the video today Kapper! I always do when I get a chance to watch.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you, much appreciated! Have a good weekend

[@michaelsawyer8313]

Great videos by the way, I can always count on you to teach this old dog new tricks, Ty and God Bless you and yours.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you and good to hear! If we start thinking we know everything, then at that point, we have shot ourselves in the foot!! Take care

[@chromedome1120]

Yeah Buddy, you got that draft control down pat! Rock and Roll Kapper !😎

[@kapperoutdoors]

Oh yeah man! Better late than never! LOL. This stuff is getting fun!!! Thanks

[@chromedome1120]

Yeah buddy you two are blessed , really love your channel and your wife , how does she come up with them great ideas ? I was born and raised on a small dairy farm in nordern Wisconsin, now live in northern Illinois , hoping one day I could have some priory as you but only around 80 acres nice little homestead .

[@WesternKyOutdoors]

That's going to be one heck of a food plot.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Massive! Should look very pretty all nice and bright green!

[@greglewis8752]

I'm glad to see the drone back in action. GoPro videos are fine but after a while drone pics provide a much needed different perspective.

[@kapperoutdoors]

yeah I was being a little lazy for awhile, but now I am back in the saddle with the drone. Although it has been acting up! Might be time for a new one soon. Just made another one today. Thanks for the nice feedback. Have a good weekend

[@rainowl1]

Good one!

[@photocontrol]

Cool action with the drone tracking in reverse! That's a nifty custom fabricated chisel plow! Curtis's exhaust stack is getting a little wobbly lol!

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol I thought the same thing on his exhaust when I saw the vids!!! Heck yeah, the reverse tracking worked pretty good! This time anyways, lol.

[@richardbohlingsr3490]

Those two tools worked up a nice seedbed for the plots. One pass each and it was ready. Oh Yea.

[@kapperoutdoors]

You bet, worked out great! That's a lot of plot to plant!! Thanks, have a good one

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

That’s going to be a nice plot!

[@kapperoutdoors]

I guess it is coming up very nicely!! Hopefully I'll get an update in a couple weeks

[@larrytremarki9458]

Nice job Kap, that plot looks good

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man, I really like that new chisel disc!

[@dustdevl1043]

A fairly good sized plot. Good job guys! 🚜

[@kapperoutdoors]

We do the best we can with what we've got. There is more work to do than we have the time and energy for!

[@zangarretson4536]

I've been watching for years. Your drone footage is incredible, I remember when you started it. Your are on a great path. I'm looking into some properties in KS. Enjoying all your knowledge. Keep up the good work so i can keep learning. Thks

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man appreciate it. Been a long road, but lots of learning here in the real world! Always working on improvements! Take care

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

looks like a great job Kapper, Wish I had me a tractor like that little ford

[@kapperoutdoors]

Well he's probably going to be selling it before too long down the road. He really needs a bigger tractor and a cab for his business.

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

@@kapperoutdoors keep me in mind

[@garycrumrine9538]

That rotary basket sure lays the soil down nice. It would se interesting to see how they add it to your set up. That spring loaded setup would take some work, but I think it is doable and would be a great addition to your setup Joe. Good luck with your next winter project.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Wow, I just priced them out! Ouch! I may end up asking the guy that built Curtis' unit to add one on. I'm looking for a used one, but they seem pretty scarce. I know it would make a great addition to the chisel, but they cost like triple what i paid for the implement!

[@deutz9379]

😮

[@NCprivateer]

I run a 1720 also, great machine, tough as nails.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I know he's got his money's worth 5 times over with that thing! Thanks

[@michaelparker9886]

Cool to see the 1720 ford working too my dads got one from 88 with 4000 hrs

[@kapperoutdoors]

Its been a work horse for Curtis for sure! Thanks.

[@michaelparker9886]

@@kapperoutdoors plus its a paid for workhorse that the best part they run forever

[@bretts1]

Really nice Joe and nothing broke! Your a master of the drone now. I sure recall the learning curve with it. Think Mr. Haney could build the soil basket for you cheaper? That first 1500 was well spent!

[@kapperoutdoors]

yeah no doubt, this thing really works up the dirt!! woo hoo!

[@dannybickerdike6121]

When you add the soil bucket make it to where it can swing it up out of the way so you can still load your tractor with it on. If your working new ground you can leave it up and get a little deeper then come back over it with it down. Just a suggestion. That’s the fabricator in me lol.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes that is exactly what I need! Been pricing them, ouch!! Do you want to build it for me?? It has to flip up because I don't have but a few inches of trailer space. Good call, thanks

[@dannybickerdike6121]

Kapper Outdoors wished I could come up to help you but got to much going on right now.

[@vietnamvet5826]

we call those field cultivators here in central Illinois, this one has Frontier stickers on it, so probably made for and mainly thru John Deere dealers

[@kapperoutdoors]

Agree, but the guy made the last 2 parts of this implement. He got a frontier chisel then added on from there.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

To really get the most out of modifying your chisel, make sure to add the leveling bar and the rolling baskets. I had a Perfecta II field cultivator, and the combination of those things is what helps to get the nice seed bed in one or two passes. I ended up selling mine, though, because I got tired of prying rocks out of the rolling baskets lol

[@kapperoutdoors]

Well, we'll see what I end up with. Just priced out the rolling baskets and new they cost triple what i paid for the whole implement! I might just make my own leveling bar or something, but I'm looking for a used basket but they seem pretty scarce! Thanks man have good weekend

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

@@kapperoutdoors I have seen where guys do make there own. They use rebar for the teeth on the leveling bar and also for the cross pieces on the rolling baskets. Then all you need to fabricate is hinged a piece to weld the leveling bars to and some thick circles to weld the cross pieces that make up the rolling baskets. Then you can hinge the rolling baskets and use an old top link to adjust the down pressure. Hope that made sense lol

[@michaelsawyer8313]

Awesome videos, what drone is that?

[@michaelsawyer8313]

I'm really thinking I might need to buy a perfecta cultivator with the basket on the back, all my equipment is small subcompact equipment

[@kapperoutdoors]

Best of luck, but a small tractor can really do some great land management work!

[@calebbley7581]

What do you use to seed your plots? That tar river drill or something else? Thanks.

[@kapperoutdoors]

It's a long story, so many different options

[@Nunohobbies]

I think the chisel should be ahead of the discs. and the discs should have some angle. so this way they do not do a good service.

[@kapperoutdoors]

You are right, we both agree to that. But it was already built, and there are 6 different ways to cut ground, lol. Thanks.

[@clarkwheeler8764]

Think I can count on YOU and CURTIS to come do my 5 acres next year??? Doesnt take you 2 dudes very long to get-r-done.

[@kapperoutdoors]

C'mon Clark, why would we want to deprive you of all that fresh air tillage!!!??? :)

[@clarkwheeler8764]

@@kapperoutdoors How about these 3 reasons for starters---MY AGE, WORN OUT EQUIPMENT WITH NO A/C, and SEEMS LIKE IT TAKES ME FOREVER. lol/smh

[@4x4Moses]

Curtis needs a new exhaust pipe on that New Holland!

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol, he's going to replace it when he sells it or trades it in!!

[@michaelsawyer8313]

Kapper, please help, I can't get nobody to take the time to answer me, I disc 2 to 3 times, then cultivate 2 to 3 times, then spike harrow 2 to 3 times, I end up with grass mogels, a lot of them, my equipment is fairly new, I only do 5 acres so my wife, kids and grandkids can watch the wildlife, is a chisel plow what I need to get rid of all the grass mogels?

[@kapperoutdoors]

Send me an email so I can see the equipment and what it is doing. Kapper@kapperoutdoors Or message me on FB messenger

[@riverfallscory]

I get it Kap but without amendments I just see the nutrients drying out and disappearing out of the soil. What is your in depth take on no till or minimal working of the soil? All the work I see the majority of the time there’s never any talk about Ph or nitrogen levels. I think leaning on the science end of the soil you are working would take you to the next level. You already have the manual work down pat.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I will do a video someday about this. I don't subscribe to all that hype about soil amendments. Stay tuned!

[@richardhill7245]

I don’t understand why people remove the loaders either. You never know what your going to run into.

[@kapperoutdoors]

No doubt. Inevitably you need to lift, or push something out of the way! Thanks.

blurring out the Branson hat, wish we could get the down low on what happened...

There are days that I would like to, but its water under the bridge. Thanks

[@scottsime5197]

That's a cultivator I'm guessing Curtis had on a hat that had a name on it you don't want to advertise any longer?.,

LOL yeah, no more FREE press!!!

Hey Kap, let Curtis know that there are some single girls letting him know there lonely in the comment section lol

Man , i don't know why... but that shot of the drone in front of your tractor while looking through the glass just made me uneasy. Too much surveillance as it is now.
