Moldboard & Chisel Plowing

Showing the types of plowing we do on our dairy farm in Upstate New York

[@richardweinhold6719]

Even though a lot of what your saying is old hat to me, I stilllove seeing your videos. The moldboard plowing videos really take me back.

[@mikep7810]

I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I enjoy watching the moldboard plow work too

[@chrismorris308]

Every once in awhile Dad will tell me stories of his 2nd cousin 1 of em was in the mid 40s he plowed 90 acre 's w/ a JD b & a 1 bottom by the next spring he had a brand new JD A & 3 bottom!

[@mikep7810]

I was thinking about that when I was watching the antique plow days.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

There is something really neat watching a moldboard plow turning over soil. I enjoy watching as much as I do doing. I agree, you do what works for you. In the case of ground with manure, I do exactly as you do. Your farm is almost exactly like ours. That's why I enjoy your videos so much.

I'm glad you enjoy it Anthony. One of the things I like about KZbin is seeing the different ways farmers go about things

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video Mike, I totally agree mouldboard ploughing is the only way to deal with an old lucerne (alfalfa) stand, no till is not no cost the herbicide cost is huge and if you are not fond of spraying then conventional cultivation is the way to go. thanks for sharing

[@alhassanmohammed9378]

In Saudi Arabia, we use the chisel, but it is small. One chisel is in the muddy ground, which causes problems. Now we have started using the triple discs, which are very good and do not keep rocks or sand clumps and make the soil very soft.❤❤

Very enjoyable video. Putting the ole 4555 to work. I remember when Jordan's were still farming, all the corn ground got chiseled. All the sod ground got turned over with the plow. Worked very well for them. Tried a couple times just disking the corn ground but it never yielded as well for next season, so the chisel was the main tool for corn. Again, great job showing both these techniques at work on your farm.

You done it right, you will have half the yield or stand doing no till, and u will not mix or distribute your fertilizer in the soil and it will not soak into the ground doing no till, no till was a plan like a lot of things now a days that sounded good and looks good on paper but unfortunately in reality don't work very well or at least in my area it doesn't, can't beat fresh tilled soil if you want the best stand or yields great videos keep it coming

[@mikep7810]

Thanks Karl. I would think that about no till. I would think after a while you would have to run a ripper or something in there to break up the compaction. I know some of our fields get pretty hard with the equipment we use so I can only imagine these bigger outfits

mikep7810 yes, it needs ripped eventually...

[@gregkortbein5108]

I plowed my ground for about 20 years. Covered a lot of acres. I have been all no-till since the mid- 90’s. Your dad is doing an excellent job of plowing. I can see you have the tractor and plow set right. I good plowing job makes discing easy. I am a small dairy farmer like you and spread manure every day. I have no trouble planting on fields that have manure. The row cleaners on the planter brush it to the side ahead of the opener disc’s. In long term no- till the earthworms and the beneficial microbes draw the manure right into the soil. A hay field is a good place to start no-till. The ground hasn’t been compacted by tillage. Works well. That’s it for my sermon on no- till. On my farm I will never till again. Central Wisconsin in clay soils. Hope you have a successful year.

We rotate corn and beans and plant no-till corn into last years soybean stubble which works great..but like you said what works for you and thats why we still till our corn on corn ground and also disk our cornstalks going into beans..200+ corn these days leaves alot of trash and can cause no-till planting problems, not to mention slow warming up the ground which slows down plant growth here in the upper midwest.. Thanks Mike

[@mikep7810]

Yeah thats a good point. We've come a long way and have these great seeds that make 200+ corn and it does leaves a lot of trash. When we upgraded our combine we were able to get done with harvest so much quicker this past year and I was able to get out there and disk the stalks before snow flew.

[@keithkuckler2551]

Nice to see that you are not using chemicals to burn down that alfalfa. That seems to be the more common practice these days. If you turn around and get that plowed ground planted, erosion should not be a big deal. Does anyone use a rotary hoe, or cultivate anymore. When i quit farming over thirty years ago, i used both mechanical tillage for weeds and, some herbicides, I used my plow for corn ground and turning under alfalfa, my chisel plow i used on small grain, and soybean ground. It seemed to work pretty well, and, i did not have to rely on chemical weed control only to control weeds, ect.

[@joeyouruncle9850]

One thing we found by doing notill is it takes so long to dry out and warm up in the spring somtimes we are a week or 2 behind others on planting date waiting for it to dry and it's hard to get consistent yield field to field year to year

[@mikep7810]

Yeah that makes sense. When I chisel the fields it opens it up and lets it warm up and dry out so I can see how leaving the ground packed and insolated would do that

[@craigmiller5372]

I would say if you’re a dairy farmer it’s pretty hard to go no till with spreading the manure. I see farming fixing and fabricating does lots of tillage. If you were just straight green farming then you could probably get away with just some vertical tillage. Good video Mike!

[@andrewpeterson5977]

Isn’t like a chisel plow somewhat suited for bigger operations mostly not saying it isn’t used on smaller ones but can’t you do more ground per hour with a chisel plow versus a moldboard plow. I have never ever seen anyone moldboard plow around me all gets chisel plowed. I even did some for the first time ever by myself last fall and I had a lot of fun chisel plowing. The only problem is that when you go to soil finish before planting it is so dang bumpy. I put the seat belt on in the big tractor when I finish ground because we have a mcfarlanes reel disk which works best if you go between 8 and 10 miles an hour. The tractor has an air ride seat and air ride cab but you can’t hardly stay in the seat at those speeds.

[@mikep7810]

They have all different sizes of chisel plows. We actually had a smaller 7 shank that we started out with and upgraded to this 9. I know what you mean by bumpy when its done. We take the disk over it and it smooths it out nice then we hit it with a roller harrow and it makes a nice smooth seed bed

[@stinsonfarms6724]

When you use a moldboard plow the same field in subsequent years, do you reverse directions so you aren’t always moving the soil in the same direction and causing an elevation change?

[@mikep7810]

We don't use the moldboard plow in the same field on back to back seasons. We basically use the moldboard to turn sod over. Once that sod is turned over and we plant corn in it I will come through the next tillage season with the chisel plow.

[@ArmpitStudios]

@@mikep7810 Right, but if you use it again in like 4 years and go the same direction, you'll move the soil slightly again. Repeat that for a lifetime. I'd guess that the intervening years' chisel plowing, cultivating, planting, and natural erosion during rain will spread the soil back out to where it came from, but I wonder if it's 100%. I'm a geek, so I dive into technical stuff like this. 🤓

@@mikep7810 didn't realise it was only 4 bottoms, should be 7 to try out that trick 4555 and see how it turns it over. I used 200 HP in a Case 2 wheeler 504 cid. 6 to 7 mph on the flat. 5 bottom 18 inch cut.

@danthurman9076 We hardly ever moldboard anymore. Only thing we moldboard plow is any alfalfa or sod ground we are turning over. Our main plow is the chisel plow

Why don't people just mind their own business.....

[@mikep7810]

I wasn't trying to complain about people not minding their business. I think most people are genuine or curious when they ask. I agree the people that flat out just tell you what you should be doing make me laugh but this video was just basically showing them how and why we do what we do. If everyone minded their own business I'd get no view on my videos! Haha
