Und der riesige Acker ist vollkommen gerade. Unglaublich. Schön zu arbeiten. Weiter so ❤

That’s covering some ground!!!! When I was younger a 2-3 bottom was a big plow!!! So cool to see this! I wish my Dad could see this!! Such progress!!👏🏼😎👍

[@MalcPearce]

Glad you enjoyed it Tim!

In den sechziger Jahren hab ich als 14jähriger Junge mit einen 2-Schar Schlepppflug gepflügt. Wenn man das heute sieht ist es der helle Wahnsinn. Tolles Video.😌

[@MalcPearce]

Ich freue mich, dass dir das Video gefallen hat! 👍👌

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Hugely impressive to watch, particularly the setting in and coming out of the run - such a tidy entry and exit, particularly for ploughs as big as those - would nearly need a camera at the back of the frame to see when to drop it in or lift. The operators are obviously very skilled at what they do. Excellent footage, particularly the drone shots.

[@MalcPearce]

Thanks James - glad you liked the footage. @dominicsharpe5057 - Your skills have been noted!! 😎👌👍

[@simonbaker3779]

Hi James believe it or not the plough is actually computer controlled you can set it up on your opening split put the plough through its cycle of lift, rotate and set so it knows where it is before engaging the ground then as either the GPS or the ground speed monitor knows where to engage the No1 share then progressively raise the ground wheels so as to lower the plough as it moves forward, quite an amazing bit of kit, I have filmed no end of tackle in our area including a couple in Lincolnshire where I live belonging Sutton estates and Worsley farms, todays agricultural kit is truly on another level, excellent videography 👍by someone who can envisage where the camera needs to be and keep the subject in frame and stable top job guys👍 👍(couldn't find an emotional of a pair of dogs bollocks so gave u a double thumbs up)😂

[@jamesbarbour8400]

@simonbaker3779 lol ! Thank you for that explanation, and I could of course follow and understand the technical details you shared. Was not aware that this level of sophistication was available on that most basic (not to mention important), of tillage implements, the humble plough. Indeed such electronic control is pretty much de riguer on modern combines and tractors, but I guess it was only a matter of time before more and more implements were eventually brought into the electronic control fold. All fascinating stuff. Thank you again. 👍

[@simonbaker3779]

@jamesbarbour8400 it is James, the loading shovels we operate at work are so sophisticated with adblu and DPF systems now it's hard to imagine how we got to this level on a piece kit the scoops up a bucket of material and dumps it in a lorry or dumper or screening plant, it's getting to the stage where you need the dealer more and more.

[@levantruonglk]

It’s such a mesmerizing experience to watch these heavy machines work on the field! The Case IH Quadtrac 580 truly demonstrates its incredible power on this land

[@MalcPearce]

Watching it is quite hypnotic I think!

[@lynnmclarty8847]

My Dad farmed 1100 acres of dryland wheat with only a John Deeere 4020 and a Hoeme chisel plow. He would have pronounced this field ready for a two inch rain. He did plow 100 acres once with a two-bottom moldboard. Took most of the summer if memory serves.

[@RichardS-qh8mi]

The really clever bit is how the first and last shear basically enter the ground at the same point each time though many yards apart - presumably automated depth and drop control?

[@MalcPearce]

These ploughs do have an automatic mode, but some drivers prefer the manual method to ensure the best result.

[@andybrock100]

Great video, those two are that big they look as though they’re getting in each other’s way and wasting time waiting for each other turning on the headlands.

[@MalcPearce]

Last field of the day so unusally they were working together in one place. Even so, there was very little stopped time at the headlands. 🙂

[@andykeeble1]

Very little time wasted on the headlands, it looked perfect to me.

[@MalcPearce]

@@Farmer_phil Oh yes! 👍😎

[@RonMcwhirter]

Farmed 60 acres with a McCormick W4. In the 60s. Took weeks to plow with a 2 /18 plow. These rigs would do that i 1. Hr.

>^..^< ????

[@kenhurley4441]

If you have a feed lot close by, would it be beneficial to spread manure over the ground before turning over? Just a thought.

[@MalubaLube2022]

It is engineering put to work. I have a few questions: what amount of fuel do the quadracs use in proportion to all other annual costs? What is the size of the area being ploughed and how long did it take to complete? How much does each rig cost to buy? And to keep?

[@MalcPearce]

Good question! Maybe someone here can help you...

[@dominicsharpe5057]

Hi the quadtracs use on average around 1000 litres of diesel each a day. They probably are the machine that use the most diesel on the farm a year but they work the hardest. Your not going to get much change out of 500k to buy a quadtrac and plough is about 70k. How much you do a day all depends on field size, soil type

[@ASUSfreak]

The Case 580 has 630HP I believe? And it can pull a 14 plow with ease... 😊 What plow can a Case 620 or Case 715 pull???

[@MalcPearce]

The 580s were making quick work of that field!

[@chrisc83971]

I’ve videoed all 3 of their Quadtrac’s ploughing

[@MalcPearce]

I've filmed the three cultivating but not ploughing... yet!! 😎👍

[@tonysmith3182]

It would take you a couple of hours just to change the points on one of those ploughs, amazing machines.

[@MalcPearce]

@@tonysmith3182 Certainly the biggest ploughs I've ever seen.... 😁

[@davidm8717]

Grandad would be impressed, he commented it would take him nearly 2 weeks to plough 16 acres with mules.

How things have changed!! 🙂

You lose so much on headland! But never the less great upload and thanks. Regards😊😊😊

Some outfit there wonder how many acres a day these boys are doing seriously impressive gear 👌

[@MalcPearce]

The whole estate is over 15,000 acres. 👍😎

[@tonysmith3182]

​No wonder they need big gear for that acreage, can you imaging using a Ford 4600 and a 3 furrow Ransomes reversible!!!

We wouldn’t normally go with the tramlines only reason I did it like that is the field is very long and narrow

It's a good video but for me way too much stubble on the surface... The idea of ploughing is to Bury the trash not leave it on the surface.. You Bury everything including the old diseased straw in the ground.. Should try setting the skims a bit deeper.

[@ericpryce7311]

Start in the middle and each go the opposite sides

[@TucanoTmk1]

Having Worked on Farms I Would Sooner See Smaller Tractors Being Used,The Bigger is Best Approach is Not the Way Farming Should Be,And Buying and Running Such Machines is Only Helping The Machinery Dealers and Manufacture. If Your Able to Make a Profit Keep Buying This Kit Then No Wonder Food Costs a Lot More These Days !!!!

[@ChristopherBach-v4s]

You need to know Thurlow Estates is an 18,000 acre farm, owned by Gentleman farmers

[@hugoagogo9435]

Everything’s relative. Big kit covers more ground quickly. Big machinery means less machinery which in turn means less drivers to pay. Most farmers are working as cost efficiently as possible for the scale they are in. They have to be efficient to survive.

[@jimmy75256]

Food costs is not on farmers but supermarkets setting prices

[@TheMRSTEVEN]

What's With All The Capital Letters?

Small tractors on an 18,000 acre farm, really? And the farmers don't set the food prices, thats all down to the supermarkets. You really should think through what you post!
