Just got done ripping yesterday. I was pulling our Blue Jet 5 shank ripper on our Massey Ferguson 7622 but i had to park it cause it wasn't up to the job, so i got out our old reliable 1991 White 195 and hooked it up to the same ripper and it pulled it like a dream at 4.5 mph.

[@ScottPykare]

We traded 2-8345R's for 2- 8R 410's. We love them. Had one plant our winter wheat. We will use both for planting our corn in the spring. Awesome video Jason!👍👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. This farm traded their 8245Rs to these 8R 230s. They mainly run 9420Rs and 9620Rs and RXs.

[@SimonKL11]

John deere tractors are nice👍😉 I like the new design😁👍

[@stollvondeining9485]

Yeah ..... the new design is made by BMW. Greets from bavaria. Thomas

[@dairyfarmerfrye2920]

We don’t have anything thats new new, but we run a 4255 thats turned up to make 175 hp and a 4055 thats turned up to 175 hp as well, both are pretty universal and we use them where we need to. We have a 3020 which mostly runs the sicklebar mower for mowing off weeds along fence lines. And then we run an 8120 with our chisel plow, our big manure spreader, our hay chopper and the liquid manure tanker.

[@bigtractorpower]

Nice line up. The 55 series really stand out. 😁👍

[@dairyfarmerfrye2920]

@@bigtractorpower Yeah the 55 series is crazy, we love both tractors dearly

[@danne77sthlm]

It seems to have very different results by subsoiling in the world, here in Sweden it actually showed in several trials that it mostly made crops lesser or did nothing, for us it seemed to have best effeect in about 15cm (5,9inch) , best results in general was about 10cm (3.9inch) in sandy areas and also made fuel consumption a better deal Clay is often a big no no here to subsoil, it makes it worse for the plants That is what really fascinates me with some countries result for subsoiling, to be honest i only have seen people say this, never seen actual trial results for it from like US etc

[@jasonknight4906]

Great video Jason well Frank sure liked it so it's all good

[@xrsuperduper7660]

Cool tractor. Good driver

[@TerrellSpivey]

Nice tractor! We run a 8 row ripper right in front of our corn planting! And yes it pulls up roots and stumps of all sorts! Lol we can definitely tell a difference where a field has been ripped tho!

That's a real nice tractor I like that

It is a nice machine.

[@SebastianWarth]

Awesome Video!!

[@1DirtyMutt]

We ran a 3pt hit, 9 shank Willrich ripper on 9335 Steiger. The 3pt hitch gives great traction control in poor conditions... the weight stays on the rear axle.

It will take a long time with that implement!!!

There are 11 other tractors in the field with 5 to 11 shank rippers.

Here at Drayer farms in central il we use all john deere . We have 4630 ,4450 mfwd, and two 4020 s . 9500 combine. We farm around 300 acres of crops and have another 50 Acer's of grass hay we run 15 to 20 cow calf pair of simmental cattle.

I am farmer of India and this vidieo is so cool

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. What types of crops do you raise in India? The farm in this video raises corn, wheat and soybeans.

[@butasingh9331]

We grow wheat ,rice,onion,radish and some other vegetable .

[@АндрійГаврилюк-д2г]

john deere is the best technique in the world

[@joesteel1261]

That hood design is perfect for operating a peanut inverter.You can see the two rows you strattle because of the sloping narrow hood.Good when GPS signal fails.

[@bigtractorpower]

😁👍👍

[@matthewtaliaferro4902]

I got to watch an demo on model like this

[@mikebegay3824]

I enjoyed the video, but the toolbar needs to be parallel with the ground.

[@bigtractorpower]

The farm had 12 915s out in the field. For some reason this one does not have gauge wheels like the rest.

[@jimmystrain883]

Jason when will they disc this field

[@bigtractorpower]

The following year. This was fall 2020. The fields in corn right now. It will be harvested next week sand in about 2 weeks disked.

[@senanryan8476]

I love John Deere’s but why would they make sutch a big tractor with only 230 horse power

[@senanryan8476]

Like you can get a 6r with 230 hp

[@chasetemple3129]

Bigger frame units are coveted

[@kladpapier]

The weight ratio is different. This tractor can pull heavier stuff than a 7R 230 or a 6230R.

[@tavicles13]

Hello, what is the average fuel consumption of this tractor during subsoil work?

[@bigtractorpower]

I am not sure. I will have to look this fall. I guess 12 gallons an hour.

[@davidoden]

Are most of these 915 v Rippers set at 30" spacing ?

[@bigtractorpower]

They can be set 24 to 30 inches. This farm runs at a 24 inch spacing.

[@jimmystrain883]

What shank spacing do they run, Jason

[@bigtractorpower]

24 inches

[@scruffy6151]

👍👍

[@piperdoug428]

It's weird seeing the 230 with such narrow wheel settings as up here they tend to run balers so the wheels are set wide as possible as 230hp isn't really big enough for much else.

[@LyfovRyan51]

Not sure why the narrower front axle. Please enlighten me.

[@bigtractorpower]

For row crop work in 30 inch corn. This is basically a utility tractor on the farm that relies mostly on articulated 4wds.

[@MRSludgedude]

Do these have a shorter hood or is it just sloped?

[@bigtractorpower]

Just more slope and angle.

[@MRSludgedude]

@@bigtractorpower never ran one. Only them 30 series.

[@valentusslimroast6716]

4020 !!

[@butasingh9331]

Which crop do you grow in this field

[@bigtractorpower]

This field was just harvested it had soybeans this fall and it will be planted in corn next year.

[@butasingh9331]

Thanx for telling

[@butasingh9331]

Can you be my friend I and you. And one thing more in which state do you do farming0

[@gavinfriel3913]

why does the hood look so small does it change with the horsepower

[@mfreund15448]

Row crop tractors always have great visibility. All Deere’s row crop tractors are slim at the cab

I’m seriously second I have a channel to we farm in central Wisconsin I’m 14 years old

[@5_fun_facts123]

I was wondering why they bought the small horsepower tractor- then I heard the price.

[@bigtractorpower]

These tractors also run batwing mowers, mow hay, bale hay and set tobacco on this farm.

[@gleanerk]

Wow I’m first

[@nicolasnico132]

Ja y cuánto vale una porquería de esas. Hermoso pero caro

[@marksinn3173]

Just doing the passes where the combines drove up and down the field?

[@matthewtaliaferro4902]

What’s going on is. The farmer is trying to make the ground soft. Because the combines tires packed the ground in. That’s why the operator is doing that. The head rows aren’t as bad

[@FabesFarmer]

@@matthewtaliaferro4902 the end rows are usually the worst

[@trystanschroeder8778]

[@mikebegay3824]

@@matthewtaliaferro4902 That's why I don't put livestock in field during winter, it just packs the soil hard and makes plowing hard cause more fuel consumption expensive.

Nothing runs like a Deere. If it ain't green... It ain't mean

[@markward6076]

That's one of the most ridiculously high prices I've ever heard of for such a lower horsepower tractor. John deere is pretty much a ripoff.

[@bigtractorpower]

The price is even higher 3 years later. It is all the brands. Emissions engines and inflation is driving prices way way up.
