THE RACE BEGINS - Planting Corn

[@jarnodeboernl7825]

i grew up watching ur channel and now im rewatching all the videos that made my childhood as a 19 year old. thank you Ryan and your family for being part of my childhood

[@bluemtnsman]

There is something so incredibly soothing with casual background music and the views from the drone on contoured land. Well done sir.

[@Ethanj387]

Working for 60 hours straight but u still took the time to video for us! Thank you for doing that Ryan! The humm of the 8235R never get's old!

[@HowFarmsWork]

To get up-to-date, I'll be posting Parts 1 though 5 of this series every day through this Sunday.

[@User-inthemorning]

How Farms Work Hey man loving your videos! Can’t get enough of them. Quick question though, I live in the uk and I want to start working in the farming industry but don’t know where to start. I understand things are different over here but you might at least be able to tell me where to start? Thanks!

[@mcclanej2804]

Ryan can you please do a video over farm machinery road safety for cars on the road. We have had 3 people get hit this year one walked away with minor injuries, another one is in a coma and there was another one who got killed today. It’s so sad to see people getting killed and seriously injured. And all of that could be avoided if people would just slow down and pay attention.

[@HowFarmsWork]

@@User-inthemorning Thanks! I recommend looking at your local colleges for any ag jobs in the area. Our ag building at the nearby state college has a board for job postings. Another option is to look online. That's a good way to get your feet wet and get some farm experience! @Brady Cockburn She's still here!

[@samson1200]

Another great video Ryan! Love the Drone footage. You are getting very good with how you compose your videos , Congratulations! I was raised on a small farm but we were taught before ever connecting with a zerk we had to use a grease rag before and after greasing the zerk to prevent pumping any dirt into the bearing.

[@zfactortedzabel9267]

Nice video, good descriptions, drone footage and music. Love seeing the contoured fields and the surrounding scenery! Thanks Ryan!

[@BigCliffy1]

Thank you for sharing what farming is all about on a daily basis! Very interesting. I enjoy watching!!

[@fredivory4304]

Some of us are old enough to remember when the grease came in a five gallon bucket and you had to pump it in manually. And battery power??? You better eat a good breakfast. Great video as always!!!

[@Sicktrickintuner]

Fred Ivory It still does but not many buy that much ever

[@richardpoe2461]

Ryan, just grease the lower half of your fifth wheel. It will cover the rest of it when you hook up to your trailer. Otherwise, it will scrape of and fall on the frame or on the ground. Less messy that way.

[@WilliamDoskey]

SO BEAUTIFUL!! Awesome footage. Great Channel, love what you are doing.

[@MrBalini]

excelent video, your family farm is so nice to watch

[@snaponmac2010]

One thing I always do before putting the tube in the grease gun is tap the metal end of the grease tube on a hard surface to get some of the air out before sliding it in and remove the tab

[@adam_da_insulator]

Thank you for the video, and thank you an your family for the hard work y'all do farming.

[@presseybrady9242]

5:46 rocket just waiting there for you to let him in

[@caseycrookham3647]

Cool video and I especially like the piano music while you plant and VT.

[@FarmTucker1]

I hope you get everything planted God bless

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! Great video. Liked the footage of both tractors working.

[@julianwaldner6252]

Something I do when changing grease is take out the old canister. Leave the plunger all the way forward, take the plastic cap off the new tub and push it against the plunger. Then use the new tube itself to push the plunger back by pushing it against a wall or work table, pulling just slightly on the handle to help it come out. Screw it back in the gun tightly, then slightly loosen it till the plunger moves up freely, (yours looked like you had to push a little bit to get it up). Then retighten. I have no idea if that’s a right or wrong way lol or if it makes a difference. But I’ve changed hundreds of tubes and I’ve actually never had to use the bleed valve. Ever.

[@jacobwerner7334]

We got all of our crops in already and you guys are just starting

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks for a great vid Ryan...

[@jarnodeboernl7825]

i love spring/summer corn can you do a equipment tour please?

[@koltonstuckey9821]

Great video Ryan 👍

[@SKC640]

I use to work in forest replantion specifically site prep work basically farming the woods for replanting. We used logging skidders but used them for spraying and trenching and some other things not for logging obviously. We had to grease the machine and attachments every 6 hours and each greasing we used up to 4 tubes. On the trencher was 3 tubes alone there was 2 grease zerks that took a tube each and 6 others that were 150 pumps per zerk! My boss would not allow us to use anything but old school grease guns no battery ones aloud he was Afraid of air being pumped into the trenchers. I hate it since we would grease 3 times a day 2 min. I couldn't blame himem because those trenchers were worth a few hundred thousand dollars worth more than the new jd skidders we used!

[@timlyons2451]

Thanks Ryan love watching your videos

[@lidsman2221]

Poor Rocket. I wanted to see him. Thanks for the video.

[@vfvf4484]

thank you, have a nice day

[@clinthochrein888]

That's a Pretty Slick Grease Gun. I have the old fashion Grease gun with the hose Ext. non cartridge An Recently had the lovely of Refilling the Grease Gun by sticking it in the pail an pull the lever an lock it with the grease inside (messy job). But my clumsy hand while i held it upright bump the lever unlocked it an Grease went shooting out all over my hands!.

[@jamesfl1968]

Great video, Love The Music.

[@14Marathons]

Great video, Ryan. Love the channel....

[@clearingbaffles]

I always wipe the grease from the removable lid on the end of the grease tube so I waste less Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

[@Blazer02LS]

So do you notice a big difference in the soil prep without the basket? From the drone footage it doesn't look like there is much.

[@TheVideoSteve]

Hurraaaaay for the AMERICAN FARMER

[@bobaumgartner7773]

Rocket : let me in and I won’t get water all over you, or else!!!!

[@littlewingpsc27]

So now that we know how to change grease in the grease gun, how do you know how much to add to each zerk fitting?

[@blaqvintageshiringa6554]

Good Stuff Ryan, Enough Respect from Kenya.

[@panar7260]

8:35 Hi, why do you sow corn alternately with grass. I came across your channel by accident and noticed this way of growing. I'm asking because I'm from Poland and for the first time I see something like that

[@HowFarmsWork]

The grass strips are in low spots to slow down water to prevent erosion

[@malevolent_70]

How difficult is driving the tractor and flying the drone at the same time, assuming you aren't using autosteer?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Fairly difficult, but for these videos I was using the autotrac demo on the tractor

[@FarmallFanatic]

Ill give it the ol college try

[@Magnum_Wolf]

I've never seen a 4 ribbed tire, we only use 3 ribbed tires on our smaller tractors. Poor Rocket, lol

[@danfinley3690]

Great vid Ryan

[@devonte3062]

Are you guys running any kind of autosteer?

[@cesarpena1392]

Good luck to y'all

[@cotalivestockco.3658]

On your Snapchat you said you were looking for suggestions for a creep feeder...Palmer Repair in Waukon iowa makes a pretty nice creep feeder

[@cmusic52]

I'm wondering how many people are gonna link people to the first part of this video the next time they grab the grease gun and its empty, lol

[@bobkyllo578]

Ryan, how come your tractor duals are so close together? Or does it just look like that on the video? It doesn't look like you could run it down any rows

[@tdgreenbay]

Little late to be planting corn...

[@samrugtiv3839]

Good work sod buster that's the way.

[@asthmatichedgehog2344]

What size tires do you guys run on your 8r?

[@koolman2021]

Another awesome video woohoo thanks

[@jasperstaats3098]

You are great at using your drone also what do you have for a drone

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Well, better late than not at all. I realize your not overly late but still it was a stressful time I know. Nice video Ryan....

[@WorldsOkayestFarmer]

Love watching the field work! will be getting a Milwaukee battery grease gun soon #WorldsOkayestFarmer

[@CoalChrome]

I still can't get over the fact that JD is putting suspension in the front of those tractors. Don't they know real tractors don't have any? 🤣

[@lukestrawwalker]

Sell a lot more parts with the suspension... same reason Ford dropped the simple cheap twin I-beam suspension on their pickups and went to full double A-arm suspensions... Later! OL J R :)

[@karlrovey]

Don't have to go with JD. The area where my in-laws farm tends to avoid JD. Nice profile pic and name by the way.

[@danfinley3690]

Great grease gun I’m getting one

[@erikmolstad4420]

Why do you have the tires on the R so close together?

[@Collinsfarmingarchive]

How does one grease the grease gun

[@travistharp4215]

I still use the manual pump grease gun lol your fancy

[@jimbob9714]

Ryan "I have to hurry up and VT before the rain" :( Some guy on the internet in town "Hey, I get to ride along and watch Ryan VT" :) Almost as eager as Rocket

[@ignasanchezl]

I feel so stupid about the grease gun. Honestly I was not the one who did it, but with my dad we have done it so many wrong ways it ridiculous.

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

Beautiful video

[@johnnyessick7208]

I really want one of those grease guns.

[@HowFarmsWork]

They're a dream to have! Just make sure you're stocked up on grease because it'll make you go through them quick. A good problem to have, I suppose.

[@PhatboyHD88]

Buddy get a Teflon 5th wheel plate for your trailer and you never have to grease it again ,and you dont have all that greasy mess..

[@johnmera531]

Yes fifth needs grease once a week but use little each time with stick out of a grease bucket not such much as he used at start of video

[@America-First2024]

Which weather app are you using? I’ve missed two opportunities to cut and bale hay because of poor weather forecasts! At one point rain was always 36-48 hours away (everyday). Didn’t rain for seven days!

[@HowFarmsWork]

The weather channel, but their forecasts are hit or miss

[@America-First2024]

Ok. Thank you!

[@Kugerand727]

How Farms Work I have had the same experience with that app.

[@matiascanete121]

Good video

[@CoalChrome]

Well, at least someone is getting in the field. From what I hear Illinois is a giant puddle right now.

[@ScamsGarage]

Nice video!

[@ryyeanhoppe4051]

Ryan I'm a big fan

[@joehartoon]

'Spose I'll go stock up on wd... I mean I guess it's that time anyways.

[@Tractorista44]

Con ese engrasador sí que se avanza xD yo tengo uno hidráulico sin probar aun (uso los manuales)

[@cl112688]

i see you are no longer using that quick connect thing on the grease gun anymore? care to explain why or why not?

[@HowFarmsWork]

The DeWalt never had one on it, we're still using it on the other grease gun.

[@CoalChrome]

I'ma have to get me one of those electric ones.

[@isaacschute6761]

How many acres of hay do u have

[@mrdayyumyum3712]

is that WD40 grease as good as Chevron red grease? Report back tanks tanks Pal

Do you have a disc?

[@lucasdobson8344]

I use to farm and now I drive a truck I do my own work on it

[@bohemianford1165]

We have the same grease gun as you

[@jamesm9766]

Is it because the soil where your located

Does VT stand for Virtual Tilling like on Farm simulator? Thanx from the left coast near the Krapitol of California

[@albertusmostert5418]

Ard you done seeding alfalfa

[@farmermatt629]

Next video will be how to change a bearing because he used wd40 grease lol

[@jamisonjames5269]

You should have used the wheelmen pro

[@cuznjo1]

i think i asked this before, but don't remember the reason why. question is, why do you go around some many things, and leave so much ground not planted. wouldn't it be easier to do straight lines, and have the extra ground you don't plant on, to give you more of a yield. keep in mind, i am a CITY SLICKER, and not a farmer

[@Tractorandsirens]

cuznjo1 because the farm has hills so do contour like go with the hill to reduce erosion

[@cuznjo1]

@@Tractorandsirens THANKS

[@joshwerner652]

Got any footage of the newly emerged oats/alfalfa?

I’ll be doing a crop progress video next week!

What weather app do you use? Are you flying that drone while you are working that field? I know, I have a lot of questions. Thank you for the great video though.

[@dizbob6250]

Definitely looked like the weather channel to me.

[@bobcrone6151]

Ryan what camera did u use to shoot the grease gun segment?

[@HowFarmsWork]

Hi Bob, I just used a GoPro Hero 7

[@bobcrone6151]

Wow it does well in the light inside the shop! Have you looked into the DSLR full frame cams? I’m halfway shopping for one and the prices/features are getting better. Almost affordable 1080i at 60-120 FPS, etc. 4K too. You may already have one... not sure. Very impressive cams tho...wondered if you used one.

[@jazko]

Not letting Rocket in just ripped my heart. :((

[@jamesm9766]

Just wondering why your farm don’t do no till

[@HowFarmsWork]

We do no-till, just not all because it doesn’t yield as well.

[@jamesm9766]

Oh ok

[@user-jh7uf8sr1w]

Are you not sown soyabean this year

[@jasperstaats3098]

What phone is that

[@michaelcook768]

How many acres of each grain do you folks plant? As always, an intelligent, well planned, methodology for planting. Will you get everything in the ground so it can be adequately insured? Oh, Ryan, did you get married? No judgement, just curious.

[@ronkeking97]

Do you see more of the "european" tractor brands in your area like MF, Fendt, Valtra and so on?

[@andrewbrummer9539]

I live a 3hours from this farm and these tractors are pretty uncommon except the mf's you see them ever once in a while I have only seen one fendt acaully working ground but they all avertise at the Iowa State fair so they must be around but very,very uncommen besides the Massey's

[@ronkeking97]

Andrew brummer any chance that will change you think?

[@andrewbrummer9539]

I think there going to become a little more popular but not much mostly because our familys has used John Deere and international harvester/caseih mostly ,so we keep using them because that's what we grew up around and our parents and grandparents kind of brainwashed us into thinking they are the best Because they are the best lol😂😂

[@andrewbrummer9539]

Me personally would never buy one because I grew up around internationals and John deeres And that's what all my family's ever used and I was kinda you can say "brainwashed" In to thinking there the best like most people have been also

[@ronkeking97]

@@andrewbrummer9539 Oh yeah i totally understand you on that. We have been running MF on our farm for the last 30 years, but we are still having demo for other tractors. And what i am seeing as i get more involved in the more economics side of the farm is that i really dont care about the brand, just the cost and durability of the brand. We still are running MF here, i my self are trying to convince my father and brother to try out a smaller John Deere series, and a larger Fendt series. But we will see what becomes of it.
