Those drills are awesome. If you tried to take a corn planter through those conditions, you would plant for about 100 feet and spend the next 2 hours cleaning the planter out.

[@mytech6779]

I don't know the normal weather there, and its leased yes?, but would it be economical to put in parallel straight line ditches say every 400 feet(some multiple of implement width) for next year? Not a full tile job(not sure how that would stand freezing anyway) but it would still speed bulk runoff by a large margin to allow planting with fairly short dry spells.

[@danadams8718]

I'd be willing to bet the price of smaller 40ft. Used Air drills have gone up suddenly this spring.

[@carterloveridge5]

I recommend not using a heavy harrow on low spots, just turns it to mush and can not air out. My recommendation is a salford 2100, hit the wet spots with it and a couple days later with good sun and wind and you will seed right up to where you worked

[@philipkimber6302]

Mike, if 2-tracks are so poor at pulling in the wet, what advantage is there in having them? Crawlers pull very well, so why don't 2-tracks? Great video and very different land to south farm. Really enjoy these videos as it keeps me up to date with farming around the world.

[@davidlogel2350]

They are excellent straight line pullers.

[@mytech6779]

Grouser design maybe. And in theory there should be less pressure which would help subsoil compaction, but his frost line is like 6ft deep so that shouldn't be much issue.

[@timgear9892]

unbelievable conditions to work with any kind of equipment. Let us know if that seeding makes it up

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

God Bless you Brother Mike I know you did this knowing that it’s less than ideal but you have to do what you must. ❤️😌🇺🇸🖖🏼

[@bobwest2807]

At least with 84ft there are not too many wheel tracks and you don't have to get too close beside the wet spots.

[@rdpj7548]

Mike, it's kinda like your driving roofing nails with a sledgehammer. Might be time to invest in a smaller planter for next season on the north farm?

[@mytech6779]

I get the idea that the 2-track is hindered by the grouser design, it doesn't look as aggressive as R1 the tire lugs. ( Let alone R1w or R2. ) All a trade off I suppose, just like 45 degree [tire] lugs are better in wet climates as they self clear better, and 30-35 degree are better for dry land. A hell, just get some full grouser-height steel tracks, would pull anything as long as you never road it. (And the hinges can wear faster than rubber.)

[@saskcanada94]

Looks like you might need to rent or purchase a smaller drill to go back for those wet spots. Fun times planting in the mud

[@syndicateleader6396]

They have one back at the main farm as Ashton use to plant with it... it's a 60ish ft wide. Probably just a hassle to get his up there let alone bringing up a second...

[@rollinlowford]

@@syndicateleader6396 Yeah he said that in the video they had a smaller one, but could rent or purchase one close to the northern location. 60ft would be to large..30ft could hit those spots fast when they dry up a bit

[@islaymassive1530]

Can you wing up the drill and seed with just the middle sections to get into smaller areas or does the drill say no to that?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Yes, I have done that.. But it needs not to be wet or soft as it will push the back little tires through the mud and create drag on the wings. It hard dry conditions absolutely.

[@farmerlamb2372]

Good way to get rid of hiccups is to sit down, bend your neck and head downwards as much as you can, as if you're looking back at your stomach and drink some water from a cup not a bottle over your top lip that's now the bottom lip, hope that makes sense but it works!

[@silver1fangs]

Mike I have a question. Could you bring in top soil and fill in the low spots so you don't have mini lakes everywhere?

[@mytech6779]

Not even close to economical. The closest to that that could even be considered would be to grade what is already there, but even that would not make much sense on leased land. Grading is common where flood irrigation is used, especially for high value cropland, also before planting orchards for harvesting reasons.

[@BigHistoryBuff44]

Hi Mike. Is there a danger of bending the shanks or disks when you turn that sharp with it in the ground? those end ones look like they are pushing sideways almost.

Does Ashton watch these videos and offer any critiques of what you are doing on "her" farm?

[@stephaniejohnson3341]

I used to get hiccups a lot. A friend insisted I try her remedy. It's weird, admittedly, but I can stop every hiccup event as soon as it starts. In fact, I almoat never get them now. Soooo, assuming you're not diabetic, eat 1 tablespoon of white, granulated sugar, followed immediately by a glass of water, drunk straight down. Weird, somewhat disgusting, but effective.
