[@fergie35X]

Great to see old with new. Glad you are now good to go. Just waiting to see that "One Lonely Farmer's" Krone is making knots and I will be sleeping again !!!

[@Rosso_Dabosso]

Man sure is a pretty sight to see! An old JD iron pulling a 1760... love it! We just got done planting yesterday. It was pretty darn wet on the last 2 fields so we went no-till.

[@gabewynne3025]

4640+auto steer+12 row planter = awesome and the 4640 is my favorite tractor ever

[@jaydee8850]

nice to see the farm growing

[@ih1206]

Awesome to see it in action. We got a bit of a break in the weather and we're going to try to take advantage of it this weekend. Fingers crossed that we get some corn in the ground

[@joetiller1031]

Good job guys.

[@younggunfarmer416]

best of luck with your new planter.hope it works out for you guys.

[@rlashbrook6865]

Beautiful

[@sammagedanz2457]

I think you guy really happy with section control

[@henrylangmaid1393]

Nice video

[@bryang9095]

Robert is right drop the hitch one hole to level out the planter!!

[@StephenMortimer]

Stay HUMBLE !! (MissJamie we depend on you)

[@Tractorandsirens]

Looks like hard ground I like soft dry ground yes I've planted in wet ground especially in the valley

[@TheW540]

Buen video !!!!

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

Wow! A 1760 planter without vacuum. They are so hard to find. Seems like 90% are vacuum, at least here in the western corn belt.

[@ryana1661]

Don't feel bad if you guys are still planting because at our farm we haven't gotten any crops planted

[@matthewwoodbury91]

you should make longer videos. But either way I enjoy all of them!

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Matthew Woodbury I've found most people watch

[@matthewwoodbury91]

+How Farms Work yeah that is true!

[@tylermarsh8421]

I have driven a 7720 and a 7200 disking and field harrowing and I got to dive vary easy and fun. XD

[@danielsmith3122]

we haven't seen Jamie for a while everything's alright

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

What is the purpose of tagging the calves? What does the number on the tag mean? Also have you ever had any cattle rustled?

[@johnmoore8016]

How many different type of seed can this puppy put in the ground? how many acres can you plant in one work day (10-12 hours)?

[@jakebrandl7153]

You guys should put a stack on the 4640. We have one on the farms 4650

[@tbuck8562]

what are the tractor weights on the planter for

[@terrellfarms1]

She looks good behind the 4640!!! Might want to drop the row cleaners down another notch. Especially in the no till ground.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Terry Presnal (TerrellFarms1) Yeah we're going to keep them off the ground in tilled situations.

[@terrellfarms1]

How Farms Work Most of the guys who run them on tilled ground in my area have them set where they just touch every once in a while to move root balls and clods out too the side to smooth out the planter units. That is a very nice planter, she looks almost new. Cant wait to see her in action.

[@robertreznik9330]

Looks like a good planter but the high/low sprocket is jumping need new chain or sprocket ... also the units are on the point. must have been used on a tractor with taller 48" tires. A hole or two on hitch should do better at at planting by being more level.

[@robertreznik9330]

+Jesse Klaus We replaced the sprockets and chains this Spring. After several 100 acres a corn stalk jam took half the teeth off the new sprockets with the ratchet. Maybe the material is not so good as 20 years ago.

[@jadecross6906]

Very nice #howfarmswork

[@41willys62]

JMHO but I think you need to replace that chain and sprocket your showing at 3:15, it appears to me as if the chain is stretched and riding up on the teeth of the sprocket

[@NielsvdBoom]

Lovely tractor! And a nice drill to. Can I ask what camera you use for filming the machinery (not the selfie interviews)? Lovely crisp image and beautiful colours on my tellie! Keep up the good work :). Regards from Holland

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Niels van der Boom in my other videos I use a GoPro and a canon 5D

[@NielsvdBoom]

+How Farms Work Thanks! I use a 6D myself. They can record some nice videos.

[@rebelplayer68]

thats funny that you mentioned that something goes wrong on the first time. I built an 3pt implement caddy and took it for a test run today with a 9 shank ripper and sure enough the thing broke!

[@HowFarmsWork]

+rebelplayer68 there's always something!

[@rebelplayer68]

yup today it was the disc lol

[@kennethfeld6639]

FARM - Fix And Repair Machinery

[@farmingspotter]

Do you guys have autosteer on there aswell or is it just the steering indication?

[@HowFarmsWork]

+farmingspotter Just the steering marker

[@waterskiingfool]

Oops on breaking the rod

[@muddysprings9746]

What was the date for "tomorrow "

[@illinoissandfarmer4726]

Is there no vac on that planter? We have a 1760 max emerge plus, they are really good planters ours is just getting too small.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Fanter Farms No vacuum, we hated the one we had.

[@illinoissandfarmer4726]

+How Farms Work oh I got ya is it finger pick up then?

[@kevinwillis9126]

now she is up and running.. what speed will you be running it at in mph...

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Kevin Willis we aim for 4 1/2

[@rogerwilson9361]

the chain you spoke of could hear it slipping figured it out Ryan you shave but just like some men they grow a 5 o'clock shadow.

[@layonarockable]

Plant with the 82

[@chasesblog]

They need it for tillage.

[@jessestuehrenberg5301]

how far behind real time is this video? west central MN corn is 3-4" tall. most beans up to. (5-20-16)

[@cadewright267]

I'm is southern Canada and we are just planting the fields now so I don't think it's to far behind

[@57fitter]

+Jesse Stuehrenberg Northern Indiana's got about 25% of the corn in and less beans. Rain rain rain rain

[@jessestuehrenberg5301]

Cade Wright I'm much closer to canada than how farms works. 40 mins south of fargo. 57fitter when do corn acres switch to beans down there?

[@57fitter]

I wouldn't want to put in any corn after June 10th.

[@alexbrowneudora]

Does it have auto steer

[@muddysprings9746]

No

[@billmielke7395]

not a farmer so excuse the dumb question, but what are the foldable arms on top for?

[@rogerwilson9361]

+Bill Mielke they mark the where new rolls it lines up the tractor for it run to the end of rolls.

[@billmielke7395]

Thanks

[@farmertyler5612]

The arms tell you where center is on your next pass. Just line up the tractor with the line in the field and everything should be spaced correctly.

[@tractorsold1]

Put one down and it marks the middle of the next pass. Raise that one and use the other one every time you turn around at the end of the field. Or get GPS guidance if you have the need and the money.

[@HowFarmsWork]

+Bill Mielke they're markers to drive over on your next pass so the rows line up nicely

[@ghostonian8642]

I'll be honest, I'm only a teen but I love farming but it looks really expensive and complicated.
