Congrats on being done with corn. You are definitely right tractor and planter are going to need a good bath 😂. It will definitely be interesting to see you spraying that field, I definitely hope you don’t get stuck. Take care guys and have a great weekend 👍

That's got to be one of the most helpless feelings when you start going down in muck ground. Used to tell the help when you start spinning or going down, don't wallow, just raise the implement and get help.

Well done for maximising the ground planted. How long is the corn in the ground, from planting to harvest ? The big articulated tractor has some serious power/torque - very impressive. I can imagine it has an impressive price tag as well 😊 - Thank you for posting these videos - I find them really interesting and your commentary and insights are excellent. Best wishes from Dorset, 🇬🇧 and have a great Independence Day next Thursday. Take care and be safe.. 👍🏻🙂

Thank you for watching! Lol yes it is interesting to see different soil conditions on KZfaq and see how they are handled the wild thing about muck is it's never the same and really dry muck is just as bad as really wet muck it's just weird soil and anhydrous breaks it down over time

That 4640 the exact size and model tractor (a late 70-something model year) I learned to operate on back when I was a kid in the early 80's. We were in rice in Cajun Country. It pulled a rayne grain R-381 rice cart or a 16 foot disc. I assume yours also has a 8 speed jerkomatic. It wound up going to complete shit spending an unreasonable amount of time not having the ability to be stored inside when not being used.
