Schaffert Mohawk Closing Wheel

[@williamj.barnhartjr.3108]

I liked the look of everything after you put the new closing wheels on both sides it seemed to do a great job on the no-till , your going to have a great farmer on your hands their. Well he already is a great farmer, I just love seeing him running those tractors with you, my son always loved the old tractors like the John Deere A I still have one at my dad's house. Thanks for sharing God bless you and your family be safe

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the comment William

[@paulschaffert7808]

Your do a great job with these videos and it shows by how many people follow your work you do with planter attachments. Keep it up.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the comment Paul, can't wait until next planting season.

[@MrGuilhermeCaye]

Hey friend I'm a farmer from Brazil and I really enjoy your videos! My family and I plant soybean, corn and wheat. We live in Rio Grande do Sul state. It is really nice to see how things work in America! Best regards.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I'm glad you like the videos, thanks for watching.

[@MrGuilhermeCaye]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating I heard you guys are having an wet spring! I Hope that the weater improves!

[@PaulsonFarms]

You'll like those closing wheels, we run furrow cruisers on both sides and wouldn't plant without them. They use them to plant on strips, but they're really good in notill as well.

[@davidschmidt1780]

Great video very informative learned a lot Jr. is doing a great job behind the wheel he makes it look easy !

[@JakeRose4430]

Teach’em young sure glad to see him handling that he’s been taught by the best!

[@keenankelley187]

You’d be surprised how well a field cultivator would change the soil conditions to plant in. Helps dry the wet ground out unlike the disc. Just my to sense looks like they really help. 👍

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We need to check into that, Jered has been talking about that for awhile now

[@markrepka8669]

Andy you got the best videos of anybody. When I get on You Tube 1st thing I'm always lookin for the next triple F production.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the compliment Mark

[@chriswithington7557]

You did an awesome job on this video. I have not found a manufacturer that has done one that in depth yet with the explanation you have done. I have been running spiked closing wheels for 6 years and it was a good move for me. I have noticed that I can back off the pressure even on no till ground some from what I use to do . Closes trench nicely and won't compact it like the old wheels did. And you are correct with this year, normally conditions are dryer for planting and the seed has good placement and trench closure. So far the emergence looks good on the corn, beans have some variations but all did finally push out.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Awesome, thanks for the comment. Wish I would have put these on years ago.

[@geesss8675]

Those are an excellent addition and did a wonderful job closing up the seed furrow in the sod.

[@ronaldschultz1189]

I run Mohawks also. I dribble n on both sides with a rubber drag hose dropping n in the crumble left by closing wheels.

[@nebraskamillennialfarmer4360]

Love the Mohawks on my kinze. Run them on both sides. Can get away with less down pressure than normal rubber wheels. Work good in about any condition. Do mostly no-till and some VT.

[@TwoHappyChildrenFarm]

Nice info on the closing wheels. I think in no till the more down pressure on the closing is a good thing. I had one year where it caused ribboning, probably because it was too wet.

[@johnhoog8874]

We ve been 100% no till on corn and beans for the last ten years and have had great results every year.The only restriction is we don"t put our dairy manure on our crop ground in spring for compaction reasons, It goes on hay ground and crop ground in fall. Only down fall is slower drying in spring to get on the ground but you will be grateful in a dry summer.

[@michwinter6067]

We use schlagel closing wheels on our conventional corn planter and on our no till bean planter, love them

[@MrMagnum7220]

I just looked at some no-till ground I planted. I saw some some kernels on top of the ground. It was hard ground. Having the no-till coulter mounted on with planting unit will bring the whole assembly out of the ground when it hits a rock or hard ground.

[@dansmith8235]

Hey Andrew I hope your keeping well and busy for sure , never a dull day !

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It's been going very well

[@joebendlak5437]

Andrew's Run that 7290r like a boss👍👍👍👍

[@planeiron241]

yes he is

[@mauricecahill3385]

Brilliant insight and that young man is a chip off the old block for sure!!!!!!!

[@thomasreed5247]

Junior will be planting all the corn before to long great video as always

[@patricknesburg575]

Tell Andrew good job driving!

[@alfmprev]

They work much better than rubber, but wear out much faster than Schafert wants you to believe. I have run about 3,000 acres on a 12 row and I would say they are half gone at least and the plastic halves are shot and peeling. Two work better than one, but I'm in notill. Good luck.

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

😎looking a bit summery out in New York state 👍🚜informative vid 👍

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It has a bit

[@planeiron241]

we use to have hard fist fights over who got to drive the bigggest tractor. it was so funny back in the day

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Your a great teacher, thank you

[@guillermopena6355]

I think they are going to work very good .good video

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thank you

[@jimcivitello3913]

Great video andy nice to see an actual in field comparison of things working . We are currently a conventional til operation but they are talking about doing some no til next year and i had said something about having to setup the planter a bit different. Our issue is we have a lot of bed pack manure because we have 5 different livestock units (dairy,beef,sheep,poultry and horse ) so spreading the penpack it always gets tilled in, I'm wondering how no till will work in conditions like that, i think there's a few guys close by that do spread penpack and no til just going to have to go visit them and ask some questions. We also have liquid manure from the dairy so we could i supposed pick a few fields and only apply the liquid and no till those.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Just have to watch out for organic mature falling into the trench with the seed. Maybe row cleaners would work

[@dustinlowry9075]

Wow Andy you deal with cows and farming? My hats off to you. You are a working son of a gun Lol Love the videos Andy your doing a hell of a job keeping us all Feed

[@timb7775]

Hey Andy another interesting video, best closing wheel action on KZbin.

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

Great job Jr.!!!

[@mrbill4187]

I put on some SI finger tills on this year after watching a guy that really liked them. Im really liking them to, some guys put tt300 fertilizer tubes on and run liquid behind the wheel and the idea is the fertilixer will run down the notches made by the wheel.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I'm running fertlizer through a tube on a seed firmer.

[@mrbill4187]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating Those mohawks look like they'll be good in no till or worked ground to. They got some thickness to them for some depth control.

[@leesteele9290]

Yetter Mfg. is only about 80 miles from where we live ! Lot of different designs out there for closing wheels ,they all are good in the right situation ,hard to have a universal one especially between conventional and no-til . How long do you usually leave your alfalfa stands ? I know it's very expensive to establish ! Does all your nitrogen all go down as urea besides the starter? Do you have the herbicides applied behind the planter? Sorry so many questions just curious how you do things there! Thanks for giving us the closer comparisons !

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We run on a 4 year rotation and we will drop tube some 32% on here in a month or so

[@ihguy2113]

good job andrew

[@curtweatherbee2523]

I like juniors shirt I love the color bright yellow😎👍🏻

[@nomerc3608]

Congratulations on 16K!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@markt4105]

I think junior may have upped a gear when he saw you coming!! 🏃

[@hughwhaley3179]

Looks good might think about getting them🚜🌽👍

[@joshuascott1395]

it looks like those wheels create less compaction of the seed trench. great video andy

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I wish I had put them on years ago

[@BarendvL]

Nice Andy! I tried some no till corn planting this year. If it works well then I may do some more next year.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I think you'll be satisfied

[@curtweatherbee2523]

Andrew being a non-farmer 😁 I would say I like the new mohawk wheels better closing wheels😊👍🏻

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

They work very well

[@tebfarms939]

Damn junior you’re the real deal lol

[@halfdollar86]

We are attempting to plant into heavy sod no till right now. Have you tried the Martin closing wheels? I see benefits to each. I think these are more forgiving across more acres probably than the Martins. What is your thoughts?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I've never used Martin wheels

[@halfdollar86]

Farming Fixing & Fabricating I ended up getting Yetter twisters. Will have them tomorrow. Hope it was the right choice.

[@dalecornelius4374]

Those look like they work well. I haven't seen those in action before. We run 13" Martin spike closing wheels on both sides of the row in corn, one neighbor runs 1 rubber and 1 15" martin spike, another schlagel posi-close wheels on both sides of the row. All work but have situations where one system works better than the other. The biggest downside to an aggressive spike like the Martin or yetter is if it turns off dry you need to switch back to press wheels or you'll lose your moisture in the seed zone through that loose soil over the seed. What are you running for starter fertilizer? Are you doing just the 2x2 or an in furrow as well?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We are running 9-18-9 in the furrow

[@chadarcher4299]

Thanks for showing and explaining the closing wheel's i always enjoy your content. Where can a guy get some hat's.

Have you considered...... 2680H High-Performance Disk We also want to take a look at the highlights of the new 2680H High-Performance Disk another true spring and fall tillage tool. The 2680H combines speed and tillage performance in one machine. It is capable of field speeds of 10 to 14 miles per hour while effectively tilling more than twice as many acres per day compared to traditional disks of similar size. Sizes Deere offers a wide range of sizes including 15 different models from 8-foot mounted models to drawn models up to 45-foot wide. Customers can choose the right model to fit their acreage and horsepower requirements. Features One unique feature is the individual 20-inch smooth or notched disk blades mounted on a rubber torsion suspension system with nine inches of travel that allows the blades to follow ground contours, ride over obstructions and spring back into position for a consistent field finish. The blades are positioned on 10-inch spacings for maximum residue flow and angled, 17 degrees on the front rank and 14 degrees on the rear rank, for aggressive horizontal soil movement and crop residue incorporation. Depth control is easy to set on the 2680H because of a simple shim system. Daily maintenance is eliminated due to greaseless bushings and bearings, increasing your uptime in the field. The 2680H comes with a variety of rear finishing attachments, including standard cage roller, optional spring-tine, or optional rubber rollers with hydraulically adjustable scrapers that reduce plugging even in in sticky soil conditions. High-flotation tires come standard on drawn models to reduce soil compaction. Whether you are looking for a high-performance, residue-burying machine or a highly versatile, multi-season tillage tool that can cover lots of acres quickly and effectively, the new 2660VT Variable-Intensity Tillage Tool and 2680H High-Performance Disk add unique capabilities to John Deere’s extensive tillage lineup.

in a dry summer. Sorry for the error

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

That's fine I knew what you meant.

[@2009deerejohn]

That’s the brand I was thinking of! Lol, Not that I really know what I’m looking at but those look to be doing a better job, wonder how well they do it the wet stuff?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

There did pretty good in the wet type ground

[@johneggleston5209]

nice explaination Andy

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@dogwoodish]

how come you didnt manure this field ?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

The driveway getting into the field would have been tore up

[@benivey9085]

Have you ever tried schalges closing wheels?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No I haven't, this is the first that we have tried a toothed closing wheel.

[@benivey9085]

I work on a conventional till farm in South Texas. We run schalges with a standard closing wheel

[@planeiron241]

that sod ground should make some good corn

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It should indeed

[@daze_ham9398]

First
