Jason, that guy was super friendly. I would enjoy talking to him too. That’ll be fun.

[@bigtractorpower]

It’s always neat to visit Joe Neal’s farm. He and his son have a nice operation.

[@stevenarnold3935]

Great video. More videos with this man. I like his calm nature.

[@bigtractorpower]

Joe Neal has been in a few harvest videos here on the channel. One during corn harvest with Joe Neal is linked at the end of this video.

[@burtbrooks7731]

I been doin dirt work for 30 years and I’ve never seen one of these before, looks like it’s pretty handy👍👍

[@scottpykare801]

That is something else. I see why 620hp is needed. Very cool find Jason 👌🏻.

[@lfeco]

That thing is really well built. Doubt many farms can justify having one of their own but it would sure be nice to be able to rent one for a day or two.

[@bubbawubba2307]

We have built terraces for years and put drainage pipes in and they work very well. after a bit of time they fill up. prevents huge ditches from washing. When disking in ditches we always drive over the disked ditches repeatedly to pack down the dirt then sow wheat over em. Usually don't have a problem with washing after that.

[@thomasvogelgesang667]

Wonderful video. Joe did a fabulous job of explaining the Pull Dozer. That is a great piece of equipment for the farm. Mike Mitchell from SW Saskatchewan had something like that last fall on KZbin. It had GPS on it for making drainage ditches. I like both. Keep up the videos, I like to watch them, and thanks for making them.

[@bigtractorpower]

Joe Neal is always a great farmer to talk with. I was at his farm to film his 60ft field cultivator and 36 row planter. This was a nice surprise to the filming day. I will have to check out Mike Mitchell’s video.

[@richardclay7574]

Jason, Good channel to watch he and his family farm 50,000 + acres and he and his wife have a farm he call’s the north farm they travel from the home farm with equipment to though farthest ground 3 hours

[@waynerichardson930]

We started using this type of land forming equipment in Vermont back in the 1970's. Obviously not as this is but they were 20' wide, and you could use a tractor as small as 65 hp. They were used on fields that had been prepped for planting to level out dead furrows and fill in low spots. They had an additional set of support wheels right behind the tractor so the implement automatically would fill and deposit the load. Very simple technology and worked just as well and with fewer problems than this one does.

[@ryanpiper1722]

Great video! I work at the plant building these great machines they are beefy

[@kleef465]

Such pull dozers are common used here in the Netherlands. Equiped with lasers they are used to flatten the terrain.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

I've seen those and I don't understand why being level is so important. Can you explain why that's necessary?

[@kleef465]

@@Parents_of_Twins the fields are relatively small in the Netherlands, so good water drain of the soil is extra important to have a high harvest yield. This is an example video about how we do it over here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3rKlHijrLeXas0

[@jb-vz4wb]

​@@Parents_of_Twins If you have high spots, they dry off first, then the water pools in the low spots, making it muddy (hard to seed), impacts yeild, and too wet makes the crop more susceptable to disease like fungus. Also if you have bigger hills, the crop will mature faster on the hilltops, and will still be green in the low spots, causing a loss of yield and some headache when harvesting (green plants get wrapped up in the combine). Having a flat field is very handy, so everything is ready to seed and harvest at the same time

[@johnnyappleseed9254]

We use these with lasers to level our rice fields in Louisiana. Ground Being level is very important for water management.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

@@jb-vz4wb Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.

[@sauserm99]

Bridgeview pulldozers are built just a few minutes down the road from our farm. Every farm around here has one.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. I put a link to their website in the description area on this video. It’s an impressive product.

[@danieldzurko8053]

Thank you for showing this new implement!

[@bigtractorpower]

I had never heard of it. It was neat to film.

[@seecampacp5107]

I enjoyed listening to this farmer...would love to know more about his spread

[@bigtractorpower]

Joe Neal and his son have a nice farm. They have been in several BTP videos. A video featuring Joe Neal harvesting corn with an S790 is at the end of this video. I hope to do a feature with Joe Neal on his equipment building this summer.

[@EdmontonRails]

Great video as always!

[@troyberdell5963]

Kudos!,to this Video! Great Job!!

[@SimonKL11]

The pulldozer is an unique implement😉👍 the 620 has some power💪😁

[@jeffsmith9328]

Wonderful video. And a awesome blade and he’s doing a good job running it

[@bigtractorpower]

The Pull Dozer forms up the field nicely and quickly. Thank you for watching.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Great video Jason, that can sure move dirt

[@Thewaywefarm]

That is impressive! I would love to rent one for a few days!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

It's always easier to pull than push. I see these on large sites with scrapers. Between the two you can move a lot of soil and manipulate it any way you desire. And the speed is what's impressive compared to a bulldozer.

[@Ticky66MN]

Now that is impressive. Thank you

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. It was a neat machine to get to film.

[@lbz4life534]

We have an old pan scraper that was originally all cable drive but someone converted it to hydraulic. We don't use it very much but we pulled it in the 90s with a red Steiger 9280, then a JD 9400. I think it only holds 10 or 12 yards but it will stop a JD 9530

[@bigtractorpower]

Neat pan and tractor history. Interesting a 9400 would put perform a 9530.

[@blewanthanaveris6901]

55 years ago we used a smaller version - we called it a scraper - to level ground for flood irrigation in the Riverina of NSW

[@bigtractorpower]

Very interesting. What tractor did you operate it with?

[@tealx8462]

Very knowledgeable guy!

[@bigtractorpower]

Joe Neal is a great farmer to talk with.

[@ThomasAnselmi1337]

Considering the versatility of the machine and setup, even with the cost if the 620 and pulldozer, it seems like a very economical option as compared to a dedicated bulldozer. Great job capturing the farmer's thoughts and points on the time saved just in moving a dedicated bulldozer to the location.

[@jonathanblair289]

Awesome to see different equipment. Would love to see a Rome plow (disc) video!

[@bigtractorpower]

I would enjoy getting to film a ROME disk. So far I have only had a chance to be in the field with a ROME 475c tractor.

Amazing video brother

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching.

[@j.jacobson]

We bien dry too getting some good storms tonight

[@codyarnold5672]

The pulldozers to my knowledge is made in Manitoba/ eastern Saskatchewan by a Dutch guy that now his boys run the business, the other model they make has a Center spike in middle of blade for making small run off ditches, yup when pulling those you need a pile of power! In Mike Mitchell video he rented another brade that was slightly different

[@jb-vz4wb]

There are a few manufacturers, this one is made by Bridgeview, also a company called Yanush makes them, and a few others I think

[@frankscruggs4749]

[@craigsibley8161]

Love seeing the prairie monsters... Not much call for them here in South West Scotland. Used to see some when visiting relatives in Lincolnshire England 👍

[@bigtractorpower]

Thank you for watching. They are popular size tractors here in Kentucky. What size are the large tractors in South West Scotland ?

[@craigsibley8161]

There's all makes and sizes here a good variety. Half the horsepower as the one in the video would be big here in Ayrshire. Tracklayers I've never seen one here. Plenty of forage harvesters working during the summer on silage...

[@Budd56]

That thing is very impressive. You would want a good operator as a bad operator could really mess up a field. Thanks for sharing 👍👍✌️

[@johnraynor5095]

78yr old countyboy. To stop your erosion problems, could you cut large contoured swales to hold the water across your fields?

[@bobsmith1814]

This make more sense than a scaper pan.

[@bigtractorpower]

I agree for this type of job. You can see what your moving and drop it right where you want feathering it out.

[@freedomrings1420]

That's a new one on me. I thought about GPS but I don't know if you need it because of how you are using it.

[@badbrad2334]

scraper pan with a trackhoe is used here in WEST TN...

Always wondered what Santa Claus did off season

[@bigtractorpower]

I was wondering if some one might ask that. Now you know. Joe Neal is a great farmer to know.

[@Blackwellll3066]

Pull Dozer is perfect tool for a farmer who wants to move some dirt without wanting to spend the time of loading and unloading a dozer and moving it from Place to place on a semi and lowboy

[@kennethjackson7574]

It looks to me like the first cousin of land planes, and second cousin of road graders when they were still pulled by horses. Former user of both, but after horses were replaced by a Caterpillar 22.

Well, there is something you don’t see on the farm every day that’s a pretty impressive blade

[@bigtractorpower]

It is impressive. It forms up the land nicely and quickly.

[@zachhaag7854]

What are the advantages/ disadvantages compared to a pan ud pull with the same tractor

[@markcarter8131]

WOW FIRST TIME FOR ME

[@bigtractorpower]

Me too. I was excited to see it in action.

[@404nitro]

Very cool to watch. I wonder how many hours of use he can get from each set of cutting teeth?

[@bigtractorpower]

That is a good question.

[@randydutka9302]

I use to sell parts for Bridgeview and the wearing of blades was totally dependant on field condition and type of soul . It would similar to shovel wearing in different soil types and conditions

[@thlee3]

do the cabins have air conditioning and heating both?

[@bigtractorpower]

Yes. Air condtioning is a must. With all the windows and cab sitting behind the engine it gets very hot quickly with out air. It also has heating and a heated seat.

[@tugboat2739]

We call them box blades, local guys build them, 14-16 ft wide

[@joelg8004]

I live in the city and think I should get a quad track as my daily driver.

[@bigtractorpower]

You would definitely own the road. Check out Jay Leno’s KZbin Channel he has a video driving a special edition 620 Quad on streets outside of Los Angles.

[@kenwindrum2246]

Next level of dozer - upgrade it to pins that go down into the ground about 6 to 8 inch's that are adjustable by Hidrolik ram ready for seed, - Call it super plow.

[@philrizzo]

I wish our dirt was that crumbly. Our clay has to dry for a day or 2 before we can “finish” it

[@eulalioguerraguerra6136]

Kenny Rodgers had a quad track?!

[@billnboo4u]

they drill after or work it

[@bigtractorpower]

They no till planted corn on this field with a DB90 corn planter.

[@nitrofish1974]

Faster ,cheaper and easier than a bulldozer

Hello! It's a monster shovel...

[@bigtractorpower]

It was neat to watch it at work as I filmed it.

[@luisnunes7933]

@@bigtractorpower 👌

[@ilovegoatsecks]

i dont exactly understand what the ultimate goal he was trying to acheive with this implement? looks like he was trying to slow down rain water.... but its in a field - so wont they just plant and plow over it - eventually leveling it back out?

[@IG10705]

Leveling the field before planting. When it rains, it doesn't pool up in the field like a puddle.

[@bigtractorpower]

This earth work it’s smoothing out wash out areas and building terraces to slow down the flow of water so the field will not wash. He is putting in the burns 90ft apart so they can plant corn between them with a 36 row planter.

[@ilovegoatsecks]

@@bigtractorpower that makes way more sense if they plant in between them. i was just thinking the planting was going to be nonstop rows and plant over top this built up area of ground.

[@loghanstclair]

What is he doing?

[@Mariini]

Leveling fields.

[@gregorycross612]

He is putting low slope bumps (depending on design and desired outcome: terrace or spreader dam) in areas where water runs to slow big rain run off and stop little rain water to allow it to soak in and minimize errosion.

[@pazuzu7119]

Wasting fuel.

[@firstamendmenttshirt4768]

Oh, New Holland can't do it?

[@jonathonfitzgerald1991]

No audio?

[@bigtractorpower]

There is full audio. Maybe try to refresh the video.

[@jonathonfitzgerald1991]

It's working now

[@chasetemple3129]

With the quadtrac, it’s probably more powerful than 95% of dozers out there

[@bigtractorpower]

620 eng hp with a max power rating of 689. It definitely will move faster than bull dozer at 4.5 mph.

[@petrokemikal]

They use these to grade roads, in Europe anyways.. I see them all the time..

[@bigtractorpower]

Very interesting. I had never heard of this type of dozer until I visited the farm to film their 90ft 36 row corn planter and also got to film this video.

[@petrokemikal]

@@bigtractorpower Yeah, they need some serious power to dig in.. I think John Deere actually make self propelled ones..

[@minidiggin]

There is no way that blade carries 18-20 yards. A d11t is rated at 35.5 yards. I could maybe see 10-12 yards max

[@minidiggin]

I stand corrected. Just looked it up, 18-24 cubic yards. The video is deceiving on size, crazy.

[@bigtractorpower]

It is an interesting implement. The model number indicates the yard. This one being a 2410 = 24 yards. It’s nice because it can scoop up a bunch of earth or just a little and feather it out on the fly.

[@andrewsarles3520]

That is a lot of iron!

[@bigtractorpower]

It is. It moves dirt and sculpts the water ways quickly.

[@insertpienow]

OOF....

[@PenDragonsPig]

wot bs

[@Griswold603]

Mono agriculture, forcing GMO seeds to take root, and factory farming will ultimately prove to be humans down fall. This video is terrible. Look at the dust it's kicking up. That is absolutely not healthy soil. Is that what you want to ingest thru vegetables or meat? The pull dozer is impressive. No question. But I do question the need for it.

[@rexmasters1541]

How about a pull scraper since that what it really is.

[@bigtractorpower]

I can see that. The decal on the machine says Pull Dozer so that’s what I have to go with.

[@bair24]

A pull scraper lifts and carries the load making it possible to cross drives or roads fully loaded.
