How To Operate A Tractor - John Deere 8235R - iTEC (Intelligent Total Equipment Control)

[@tracyleonard2668]

This is the best blog I have seen in awhile!

[@Drmcunningham]

Best video you have made! Enough detail,to allow me to understand and not too much repetition to be boring. I can sum that up,in two words - Cool Beans

[@ericvannes3222]

We have a tractor with that and we use it for planting beans, when you have to lift the drill, ridge marker and packer item comes in very handy We are looking at auto turn around for our sprayer to keep the same line and less crop loss. Great video!

[@karlbrohammer9105]

iTec looks great to add to a GPS equipped tractor and specialized equipment to set up field pattern for best use. Some contour strips, small odds and ends maybe questionable for use, but looks like a winner for larger tracts. Very informative video, keep it up on technology introduction to HFW.

[@natedawgp3690]

That is really neat I use older tractors to farm so I've never seen computers in tractors. Keep making these they are very informative and will help me when I get bigger and better tractors!!😀🚜🚜🚜

[@codytershner8137]

hay Ryan you give a tour of the 8235r inside and out of the tractor

[@sethtchristensen]

Hey Ryan, how do you get all the options to appear in the ITEC screen. I only can see implements in my screen, but they dont have any of the settings for transmission etc. how did you setup your sequences?

[@jbmbanter]

Add in the 'auto steer' all you'll have to do is click the switches. I guess if you don't 'feel in total control' you can turn it all off until you want it again. :) The farmer near my place in the country allows me to ride along and it's amazing to watch as the tractor turns itself around and starts the process again.

[@waterskiingfool]

Nice how to video. Didn't know what that system was

[@mukymik6414]

A very interesting video, even Jamie could have fun with that. With gps I assume that the accuracy given does help with the economies of sprays and fertiliser and thus the bottom line of the books.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

GPS is a program that is an add on.....Tractor will still work without it

[@TheMkrimm]

Why are you running at full enginge revs? I believe the 8R uses all of it's horespower at around 1800 revs? Everything above is more fuel usage and more torque.

[@McNair1952]

When you said "switch on the differential", did you mean "lock the differential"?

[@marshalle8940]

"keep your eyes on the screen for when I push number 2.... nod right there I just pushed number 2", lol

[@oldpackfan]

That''s so easy that Mama could be doing the field work.

[@jakubdrwal8636]

When you watch a 3 minute ad to support your favorite KZbinr.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Jakub Drwal Hopefully that was by choice and not force!

[@swampratt36]

How Farms Work sorry bro no skip ad button like usual just grin n bear it ;-)

[@Merryfarm_ranch]

@howfarmswork are you going to get that tractor you looked at

[@HowFarmsWork]

The tractor is on hold for the time being!

[@jakubdrwal8636]

+How Farms Work how about that combine that your dad keeps mentioning

[@theyorkshiretrucker2960]

thanks for the help

[@howardyounger5456]

I would like somthing like that for cutting hay . Just for discing would get boring I think.

[@danielw3369]

Sadly, in Canada no more receive itech from 2021.

[@collinzappa1519]

+ How Farms Work when it the new tractor coming?

[@Larry342516]

Very interesting. Thanks for the video.

[@pa.heifergrower67]

Good job, as always! ! Great video! !

[@rlashbrook6865]

Good video

[@phantomlake640]

There won't be a quiz on this, right? :)

[@dafarmer3721]

Holy shit. I have 7200R and I’ve been doing it old school lift the finisher have the mfwd in auto mode so I hit the brake to turn it off turning left or right to make the turn I didn’t know how to set that up crazy

[@matthewwoodbury91]

that's pretty neat!

[@jammin60psd]

People complaining about technology while on a smart phone watching videos about technology. This isn't even a Gen4 touch screen. ITEC has been in Deere's since the 30series machines. If not earlier.

[@TheFarmingLife]

with that small disk you don't really need 4 wheel drive differential with that tractor. I pull a 34 foot turbo till with my 8320

[@MatthewHoag77]

Remember that they farm in the driftless area of southwestern Wisconsin. They have a lot of hills.

[@cornshucker77]

Wow, pretty interesting. The first tractor I drove was a 1952 John Deere A. I'm not sure I could make your tractor move. :-)

[@matt56849]

We just run our tractor in AUTO MFWD, and no differential lock (not needed), and then on the ends you just lightly press on an individual brake to disengage the MFWD.

[@KevinA-zp4li]

Very cool. Things have really changed in the past 30 years. Lol

[@gilb6982]

AH ! your way no cool !!!! Now I want an ITEC on my lawn mower !!! LOL !

[@davidtobias1665]

Interesting but give me old school.

[@rogerwilson9361]

good information, but I do understand you arugment of the use of ITEC and GPS there a all valid to say the least for the ideal of keeping the tractor on course is very important when farming so in other words use the technology given the fields that it would be use on in which you and dad and Travis your brother cultivate are not small.

[@BillTheTractorMan]

seems too complicated Ryan! I'll stick to my Antiques with levers, throttle, clutches, shifter, and being in complete control. that may be more efficient, but it's too much like a video game to me.

[@joels5394]

lol. yesterday I added GPS to our new combine & mounted a corn picker. Both had their challenges!

[@Kepuuu]

Why are you using max rpm's? I think that 1600-1850rpm is enough as it is a big tractor after all. Or maybe fuel is so much cheaper in US than in Finland that you don't even care :D

[@canvids1]

The young farmers would go for this tecky stuff but I don't think the old farmers would want to diddle with all those buttons and electronics.

[@phibkarma6033]

Same thing with my dad he doesnt want a monitor in his tractor

[@tbuck8562]

I'm 13and I don't understand some (alot) of the electronics

[@Derek_00Mustang83]

I'm 32 and will stick with the old way!!

[@anderspedersen6750]

My dad just turned 77, and is fully using all this. GPS, with ITEC, and the full automation. And he is the goto guy in the area when the young guys needs help.

[@lukestrawwalker]

I love the GPS for guidance so you don't have to rely on seeing little gobs of foam on the ground 45 feet away and HOPING that the end of the boom is actually over them and not overlapping or gapping, and when spreading not having to look sideways trying to see tractor tracks in the dirt and HOPING that you're actually 40 feet away from your last pass without gapping or overlapping too much... the GPS is absolutely wonderful for that... The "fully automated" stuff is neat in a "gee-whiz" kind of way... rode along with the nephew in one of their autosteer auto-header height control combines-- just turn the thing around, hit the "drop header" button and he'd play with his phone to the other end of the field... hit the "raise header" button and turned the combine around, hit the 'drop header" button and went back to fiddling with his phone. I guess if you're in the combine for 14 hours a day for weeks at a time trying to cover all the ground they farm, it might have a place... anybody will get pretty slopping in their operating after 8-10 hours... (I worked jobs that were 12 hour shifts, and basically we weren't worth a lot the last 4 hours... they'd have had better productivity had they done 3 8 hour shifts). I wouldn't want to farm that way, though. I was raised running computerless equipment and doing it all by hand... throttle down, lift the implement, make the turn, count off the rows, line back up for the next pass as you complete the turn, drop the tool and throttle up. Once you get used to it and get a rhythm going, it's like clockwork. Later! OL J R :)

[@rmack48]

What happens if all this electronics breaks down, can you keep using this tractor like an old type tractor without electronic gizmos. I also don't think that a lot of farmers could afford to buy a tractor like this one.

[@TheMkrimm]

Yeah, because most farmers like to go "low input, low output" rather than "high input, high output". It's a big step if one decides to do that, but in these times that's the only way farmers will be able to survive.

[@kevinwillis9126]

it won't be long till we have driverless tractors.. we already have driverless cars.... interesting video but to much technology... Thanks for sharing..

[@jeremyfreeman6108]

does anyone really think any of these tractors are gonna be around in forty years like the4020 or 4430

[@KT13247]

And I'm here on a 1965 Massey 65

[@tbuck8562]

I got a 52 farmall m

[@ethandegnitz5247]

we got 3 1969 case 1030s

[@Chris-qw2iz]

itec macro''s for tractors.

[@sammagedanz2457]

it's not if it's when

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Electronics are a marvel untilll they stop working Drive by wire, no mechanical connection..... could become a problem in the future..Hope not

[@lukestrawwalker]

Exactly... why I HATE new vehicles and equipment... Gimme a rod or cable to operate things ANY day and twice on Sunday... if it doesn't work, it's easy enough to fix... this new stuff with a button or glob or goo in a pedal or lever or something sending a signal to a computer that sends an electronic signal to operate a relay that sends power to operate a solenoid or switch or valve or whatever, not so much... just overly complicated to do what is a simple job. Overly complicated is the opposite of reliable over the long term. Later! OL J R :)

[@joels5394]

unfortunately Deere makes you pay for extra to use autotrac & ITEC pro(auto headland turns)

[@georgiaswampman4542]

Technology

[@Ethan-ck6iz]

Tractor keyboard macros! lol

[@deerezilla7013]

We're 18% faster with gps on our 8335r discing

[@farmallskittle]

too many buttons

[@carcadeaddi]

first 😀

[@Abm2014-SausageKing]

that is cool
