Time to hook up the dammer diker!

[@2chipped]

Don't always comment ,but love watching farming from different regions and crops. Locally SE GA onions started harvest 2 weeks ago. Keep up the good work!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well thanks for the comment. I always forget that some places grow crops year around. That’s cool

[@Arham7cheema]

I get amazed after seeing this equipment

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It is pretty cool

[@Arham7cheema]

What is the function of these back roller hoes

[@KeithRoyer-d1p]

That is an interesting piece of equipment. Question, when a potato vine starts blooming, is it time to dig them? They were planted at the end of March.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

When they are blooming the potatoes will be very small. Usually when the vines start to die naturally that’s when you dig them to get big potatoes. But some people dig early to keep the size smaller.

[@bdrakephotography]

just need the weather to cooperate! great video!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Right. This moisture is not great for planting

[@santa4735]

Thanks for showing the manure water system! How bad is the oder? Does the smell linger on? Can this completely replace other fertilizer inputs? Thanks

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

It smells really bad. You can smell it from a mile away when it’s going through the pivot. It doesn’t have much fertilizer value but when we put on solid manure we don’t have to spread commercial fertilizer

[@santa4735]

Thanks

[@lindanelson8400]

I'm sure looking forward to seeing these strange looking pieces of equipment in the fields working!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s coming soon

[@bobbydee1187]

Why don’t all potato farmers use this piece of equipment ? And where do all the potatoes come from for seed????

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Most potato farmers use a variation of this. Seed potatoes have to be grown in an isolated place away from other crops that could spread diseases.

[@TomSmith-me7ph]

Very interesting 😊

Hey did you wake up to 4" of snow this morning? We got a slight sprinkle of rain here in N Utah.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We got about 2 inches

[@topworkengine5487]

[@ryanevans7049]

Love the videos. What part of Idaho are you in of you don’t mind me asking? Also would love to see an equipment tour when you get your new equipment sorted out

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I’m glad you love the videos. We are in Shelley. I’ll see if I can make that video happen

[@ryanevans7049]

@@RockyMountainFarmeroh nice we’re just right up the interstate

[@edgarantoniocastrosoto]

saludos desde los mochis sinaloa aqui los fabricamos esos implementos se llaman contradores tipo spundink se mallan aqui blanchet

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Welcome I hope you’re enjoying the channel

[@BANANO509]

Who does your tires ? That tire looks new

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That one is new. We usually have point s come change them

[@raysmith7382]

Add colored zip ties to your hydraulic hoses. Just RED lift and GREEN lower. Good video

[@sallad19]

That shop looks small now that your equipment is getting bigger. I'm sure when it was built that it looked big with the equipment that you had and it has been fine for many years. Any plans on updating the shop to a bigger one to fit bigger equipment?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We want to build another one but they cost alot right now.

[@boomerang379]

One zip tie goes in the left and two zip ties goes on the right

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I think that’s how I started but it was backwards

[@MrNobody2828]

Lefty-lower, righty-raise, when you follow the hoses to the hydraulic cylinder.

[@ineedinsulin]

My stepdad knows the people who invented the dammer diker

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s pretty cool

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Masa?

[@vsetkoumiera7683]

Who else came here just to find out what a dammer diker is ?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Probably a lot of people. But hopefully you stay and subscribe for the awesome farming videos.

[@boomerang379]

Good lord why so much tire pressure? 20 pounds is the right amount according to the chart. You gonna fell like you’re riding a basketball. I run 18 in the back and front on Michelins.

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

That’s what the tire sidewall said

[@user-gp6sw]

Holy crap, 18 is more than plenty. 35 max to seat the beads bud!

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Well, there’s six different brands of tires on this tractor and they all have different pressures. Some say 45 some say 55 I went with 35 on the low end.

[@tuberNunya]

How many pounds per acre is your yield?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Last year we got about 55000 pounds per acre

[@Arham7cheema]

That's too much what are the dimensions of your acre

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

An acre is about 200‘ x 200‘ give or take a few

[@darrellschubert4394]

Do you eat potatoes?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

I eat potatoes all the time. Growing up I would eat potatoes 3 to 4 days a week. They’re delicious and you can cook them in so many different ways.

[@nailedt0thecr0ss]

lol about dirt in tractor

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

Right

[@ericmiller1331]

What fucking hills?

[@RockyMountainFarmer]

We have some fields with pretty big hills that the front tractor tires come off the ground.

[@eatingamandarin]

Eric. Hills are a necessary evil. Necessary to shed excessive water during major rain events, with the furrows draining runoff out of the crop and off the field. In regions of low in-crop rainfall or low harvest rainfall, hill serve little/no purpose other than to prevent greening.
