630 to the Rescue!

[@TheMadSentinel]

That slo-mo close angle of the disks doing their thing at 06:55 was nice. Didn't run too long, either.

[@docphillips5153]

Ryan suggestion.. use black cable ties they are more UV resistant than white. Sunlight breaks down white In outdoor communication biz. We were not allowed any color but black.

[@kennethmorgan1465]

Yes yes!

Great shots!! Under the tractor was really cool! Very original and fun to watch Ryan! Thanks bud!

[@Blackwellll3066]

Cool seeing Hannah drive

[@MatthewHoag77]

When in a pinch, the 630 sure will do a job. It may not be as nice as the VT's finish, but it definitely beats dealing with the bumps and lumps of chiseled ground.

[@lukestrawwalker]

It'd do a LOT better with an Unverferth rolling basket hitched behind it... works like a champ! OL J R :)

I recommend using metal zip ties (yes they exists my dad gave me some) I use them to hold my little barn together and they are super strong and durable

Jerry your probably right but I have a wood barn so I wouldn’t know, it moved a lot in the wind

I hope the zip ties are only temporary until you get back to the shop.

[@farmboydavid7596]

I’m not sure how the cylinder setup is on your specific VT, but it seems like you could use several cylinder stops to set the desired depth of the VT. I’ve done that with disks, soil finishers, chisel plows, etc.

[@doclull1989]

[@SlipShodBob]

It looks as though it was lucky Travis brought the 630 disc back home. At the moment I'm wishing we had a back up mower at the moment after our mounted became a trailed after the headstock parted way with the main body.

[@angryamericanmodding9770]

Instead of running the fancy stuff like that valve I just bypass that and use the cylinder clamps, also called stroke limiters. That way you won’t have a issue and it will always be the same depth! I have had the same set 30yrs and used on all equipment and never had one break or wear out. Just a thought?

[@chasejones6095]

We have a disc and then we hook up a vt behind it so we don't have to work about the clumps

[@davidloy8376]

Would the 630 be more valuable if it had tines,baskets or some finishing attachment?

[@lukestrawwalker]

Sure... they ain't cheap though. Could probably get a good used pull type rolling basket to run behind it for less money than a kit to install rolling baskets on the disk itself. Just need a rear hitch and they work GREAT! OL J R :)

[@lukestrawwalker]

Zip ties to hold heavy stuff like hoses up off the ground-- NOPE! They'll give out when you least expect it and then you get that kind of mess you had there. Run 'em up over the frame then zip tie 'em down so they can't wiggle, just leave enough of a loop they don't pinch or bind when folding/unfolding. Think them zip ties are gonna disappoint you like that and leave you sitting in the field with oil everywhere when you least expect it or have time for it. Later! OL J R :)

Could rollers be added to the disk? Asking for a friend.

Yeah they sell rolling basket kits, but you could probably find a good used pull type rolling basket to hitch behind the disk cheaper... them kits ain't cheap. Do a google search for aftermarket rolling baskets kits... OL J R :)

Get some used bi-wall hose that has fiber weave in it, run chains through it and put grease in that then zip them down near each end and bolt the chains to the frame and strap-wrap the hoses to those. JD's system for hoses is garbage.

?did you check the oil level in the tractor after replacing the hoses? thanks been there done that many times.

Ryan, you should use the black UV stabilized cable ties. The white ones go bad much faster in sunlight. Bigger ones would be better, too. Better yet, proper hose clamps! Keep up the good work and thanks for showing a city boy where the food comes from.

[@kennethmorgan1465]

Yes

[@frankmetcalf9595]

I'm beginning to wonder if a disk set shallow and at a less aggressive angle (if adjustable) makes expensive VT implements unnecessary. Your thoughts?

[@marshakrebs4348]

What is the idea with vt a field is a faster form of tillage

[@lukestrawwalker]

The answer is "it depends on your goals and what you find as an 'acceptable job' and how much money you're willing to spend". There's been a LOT of guys take their old disks, swap out the existing blades for low-concavity (flatter) blades or even various flat chopping "coulter" type blades, move the gangs back to the "minimum" or "straightest cut" position (or even modify it a bit to go as straight as possible given the machine's design and still lift and fold properly without sticking a tire into a blade) and run the thing as a vertical tillage tool. Might not do QUITE as good a job as a full-fledged newly engineered to be a vertical tillage tool implement, BUT it can be done to an existing disk for probably 1/10th the cost (maybe less) of a NEW VT tool... Heck even that disk "as is" set to minimum blade angle and with a rolling basket behind it would do pretty much just as good a job as that VT they have... which is just a disk, basically, with the low-concavity blades on it. Now, true, actual "vertical tillage" machines that operate with essentially ZERO blade angle are meant to run at about 7.5-10 mph in the field to actually do the best job at fracturing the soil... AND their Earthmaster VT is supposed to run at a pretty high speed and at a shallow depth about 2-2.5 inches to do the 'best job'. Well, ANY disk running at 2.5 inches should be able to be pulled by a proper size tractor for it at 7.5+ mph in the field, and if it's using flat or shallow blades with the blade angle as low as possible, and WITH THE ROLLING BASKET BEHIND IT, it'll do as good a job as that VT they're running. Basically IMHO the only thing that VT *really* has going for it to differentiate it from that 630 disk IS the rolling baskets! IOW, hitch an Unverferth rolling basket to the back of that Deere disk you'd be HARD PRESSED to tell the job it did from the big Earthmaster VT even without blade mods to the Deere disk. Install the same blades on that Deere disk and the rolling basket behind it, and you'd have THE SAME JOB, basically the SAME MACHINE. Course, everybody's different and some folks would still turn their nose up and sneer and say "never do as good a job as a TRUE vertical tillage machine" and maybe *to their way of thinking* they might be right... And they probably already have a big note to pay off on a big shiny new VT machine anyway.... But if you asked 50 guys looking at the same field, you'd probably get a lot of different answers, and I'm sure more than a few would agree the properly modded disk did just as good a job, and for a fraction of the cost... OL J R :)
