Using a Horsch Joker RT25 | Vlog 22

Using a Horsch Joker RT25 | Vlog 22
In this video, we accomplish a fair bit in one day. We finish planting soybeans (no footage), plant some white beans and demo a Horsch Joker provided by Kearney Planters. We're down to having only 86 acres to plant at the end of the day (3:00am in the morning...long day). Really happy with the Joker RT and you'll have to watch the video to see if it finds a permanent home.

Hey Mark u did a great job explaining how your machinery works. Finally got to hear your ( ledgeable)voice when talking on Sandi’s post. You have a great family and it’s enjoyable watching how your farm expands.

[@boomersudden6257]

Great job Mark. Love the video.

[@freddeere5343]

I love your videos ...from australia !!!

[@pms146]

Nice vid Mark 👍

[@alliechampagne1404]

Precision planting is fascinating!!

[@benjaminstern2562]

Great video! Enjoy seeing the machinery from across the pond make its way to North America

[@everettsanderson4189]

Ya'lls work ethic is amazing. You, Sandi and the kids working non-stop.

[@noelhohberger1188]

I like that Allis Chalmers forklift pretty neat

[@svenstoebis7283]

Been watching the big American channels for a long time. It’s nice to find a Canadian channel to see how it’s done around here(I’m just a few hours away in Ontario). Especially seeing three different views of the same family operation. Great work. And Horsch seems to be making some great equipment.

[@andyzumwalt3632]

Nice piece of equipment

[@MarkBrock]

Thanks

[@salmonhunter7414]

That was some very nice footage.

[@MarkBrock]

Thought I had some better footage but forgot to press record when flying the drone.

[@salmonhunter7414]

@@MarkBrock I really thought what you have was really good. Thanks for taking the time when I know you very busy.

[@dankinnard1833]

Quarter to three in the afternoon, haven't heard time of day spoken or referred to this in quite some time! Old school.

[@redeemedfarmer2670]

New to your channel... found you on your wife channel.....

[@diamonddog257]

- and those rear rings , sift the soil into light and heavy comonents, for correct tilth.

[@johnbourlier411]

I here the joker Pack the soil hard after a few year. U might have to till the Plow pan

[@ronaldspruill2247]

I think you enjoy saying JOKER! 😁

[@raynonabohrer5624]

So you do no till?your videos are very interesting think you for taking us people who are not educated in farming. What all you and your family go through. I bet this equipment cost a pretty penny.

[@justingermanovich]

How would you compare strip till corn to tilled ground with the joker?

[@rdekort9273]

German machinery 👌🏼

[@alrastapkevicius5408]

Did You ever try a Lemken Heliodor?

[@dodgebrothersfarmandranch9206]

Hey what size Deere tractor are you pulling it with?

[@davidj.mackinney6568]

Are white beans Great Northern beans or similar?

[@mikes1345]

Just found your channel, quite interesting. You use them term "edible beans" quite frequently, so is there a crop of inedible beans?

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Yes soybeans aren't edible for people. Mainly used for biofuels or livestock feed.

[@mikes1345]

Thanks ryan, didnt realize they were considered so, had to look it up and see what you meant. Dont see that growing in my region.

[@trevorfout4759]

Old school version light offset disk and qultipacker lol cant do 10mph though

[@MarkBrock]

Yep, at the end of the day it's still a disc. We were running a more traditional style disc frame VT before, this Horsch Joker seems to maintain working depth a little better.

[@aaronlaumann7361]

Mark regarding the joker, what kind of horsepower does that 25 footer take, and after seeing how the beans came up for you does it look like it made a nicer seedbed vs using a turbo till (residue sizing), how fast are you pulling it, and how does it handle rocks (I have lots of them). I ask because I have a Krause TT currently and these high speed discs intrigue me. I have seen them on dealer lot here in SE Mn but haven't seen any in the fields.

[@MarkBrock]

To be honest it's like a day vs night difference between the Joker and the turbo till. I've very happy with the white bean emergence and how well it incorporated the chemicals sprayed PPI. Joker is hand down better than our old turbo till especially in sizing residue. As for horsepower, it takes a good 280hp to pull it fast enough.

[@mattbeischlag2382]

How many HP were you pulling the Joker with?

[@MarkBrock]

I would say 290 would be safe. The tractor pulling it is our tuned up 8295R that's about 340hp and it had no problem.

[@ericdevaere9726]

Jay Curtis did demo

[@jimpigson998]

Do you do any no-till? Why are you doing vertical tillage in the spring rather than doing fall tillage, and cultivating in the spring?

[@MarkBrock]

Yes, we no-till most of our soybeans, but are comfortable no-tilling white beans as their root structure is a little more sensitive to stress. As for fall tillage, it was too wet to do any type of tillage without damaging the soil so this farm was left as is after corn harvest. We, prefer to do as little full tillage in the fall as possible to minimize erosion.

[@justincase2830]

Did you run the Joker in a different direction on the second pass? Good video!

[@MarkBrock]

Yes, straight up and down the second time.

[@justincase2830]

@@MarkBrock Thanks for your response

[@ZekenStreak]

What’s one of those puppies worth? Seem to do a really nice job like you were saying. Cheers

Use Agleader stuff that has RTK

Where do you get all of your percision planting from?

[@MarkBrock]

I work with Doddy Creek Agri-Sevices Inc., Curtis Gartly located right around Thamesford.

[@gregwill5333]

@@MarkBrock ok i was just wondering because you seem to have a good connection to brussels and wasnt aure if you went to argis, also have you heard the agribrink system for your equipment?

[@joeldurheim5831]

Looks like you need to go a little faster. Go at least 10 mph

[@MarkBrock]

9.3 mph is is about max for the transmission ranges on the tractor. The next gear takes us up over 11 mph

[@bartoski-ag]

@@MarkBrock i have a 3m joker CT, doing 20kph makes a perfectly smooth seedbed after soybeans and canola, after corn its tougher with all the trash. i have the same rollflex attachment on the end, at speed it brings up finer dirt to the surface and buries the clods
