Ryan, pulling a disc was always my favorite thing to do. It changed the way the ground looked, was pretty fast and had to be done. Thanks for posting!

We bought a brand new 4640 in 1980. It had quad range. We used it about 10 years. Never had a problem with it. Definitely one of the best tractors ever made. Also around that time we sold our 7520 and bought an 8640 and what a beast that was. I miss those days farming with my dad.

"Oh my god, the bovidity". Lol, nearly shot water out of my nose.

Drove this machine at 13 yrs old, to me one of the best jd's ever made in my opinion.

The memories I had that same tractor, just a little bit smaller plow custom made. I miss my childhood helping my dad.

The 4640 is probably one of my most favorite tractors. My grandfather had one

in my day, we tied , 4 sheep dogs together, and still got done, in time for the paul Harvey radio show, why I need a tractor.

Jeez that 4640 sounds good!

4640, the good ole days.. Those were tough old tractors..

How Farm Works, thank you for showing us many things!👍

Listen to that tractor purr

thanks for the videos I actually filled out a job application at this place in Florida but as I worked around tractors my whole life I never worked with tractors in this way I used them in hay mowing fluffing raking and baling I hope they give me a chance

Your channal has lots of info about farming and is helping me alot

Love those soundguard cab tractors, especially with a quad-range

Thanks for letting me eride with u. Use to farm my self ! Good memory's

Hi HFW, Love the way you present everything thank you. With regard to the extra weight on the discs I was wondering whether you could make a steel box to fit flat on the back in the part that doesn’t fold, and use one or more front Tractor weight to allow you to use the full width of discs and so save a pass on the tractor? I am thinking the extra weight would push all the discs down equally?

Du machst richtig schöne Videos. Schöner Sound. Der John Deere 4640 ist mit der 630 Scheibenegge ein perfektes Gespann für die Bodenbearbeitung nach der Getreideernte bzw. Maisernte.

I really liked this!

It did a nice job discing that up

love them old iron horses

What about Stewart's Wilt? In eastern Pennsylvania the field corn has it but has not reduced yields, but the sweet corn gets wiped out.

working crp is something else when we got a new 200 acre piece we had to use a wishekt disc to break it up then run a regular disk over to level it

Awesome video, thanks! I wish I were out in the fields.

What we like to do on our farm is to plow it under first disk then seed

I watch all you videos and enjoy them, you had one on the 630 Disc, how wide is yours? What it spacing ? I’m looking at an 18’ 630 with 7.5” spacing and trying to figure out how much Pto or drawbar HP is needed Thank you

Do you grow different crops in the same fields? Notice that your corn from the year prior was just around the field!!! When you have lots of land, this could be an option!! Thanks 4 Sharing!!

Do you do much notilling? Here in Pa. I would roundup in the fall and have a beautiful seedbed for corn in the spring.

Can't beat 44-46-or 4840s love the video 👍

Can't beat that 4640, great video.

The worm you mention, is that the same as cut worm?

Also, looks like new disc blades are needed soon?

What gear are you in? When we disc with a 4430 or 4630 we go in C1 or C2 our disc is a 220

I love the older model John Deere tractors, they are built tougher, last longer, and are a lot simpler to use( technology wise ), I'm subscribed to a farmer that recently rebuilt his 4960 John Deere tractor from the ground up after it caught on fire a couple of years ago, but I never realized how freaking expensive parts for John Deere tractors are, sometimes I wonder if your paying for the brand.

Will you make another planting video?

Would you spray this before discing?

thanks

Hmmm... I was told years ago that you don't ever want to run those folding disks with the wings up-- it'll tear up the center section. Course that may be on older, lighter built folding disks-- that Deere disk looks pretty tough and seemed to handle it just fine! Yall don't use a crumbler or "rolling basket"?? I run one behind the 23 foot disk on my BIL's farm in northern Indiana and it does a GREAT job at finishing the field and firming it up slightly for planting... crushes all the clods and breaks them up and breaks up the rootballs and stuff and kinda puts the fluffy loose soil and residue on top, while firming the ground up a little underneath so the planter doesn't run so deep into the ground... Works great! OL J R :)

Wat gear was u running in

How many acres do you have?

Ryan, perhaps you can tell us the theory behind the smaller strips of crops? Is there a rotational issue, soil issue,or traditional issue a work here?

Ryan what’s the main and most important difference in disc (harrowing) and plowing? Aren’t they practically the same thing?

How wide is that disc

u should do some start up vids

What's the difference between discing and plowing, besides the obvious. Is it just a preferance thing or are there different functionalities to the two?

ikr thats a nice tractor! but... are 4430 with a 6 shovel plow went in mudy water chizel plowed all way down an the 4430 does not have a pally brake or the lever and you need more traction? 4640 are bigger than 4430's i don't care thats a very nice tractor sounds great how low are you going with the disk?

Seems like you mainly chisel plow now though? Is there a reason you chisel plow instead of disc? Beginner asking.

We called it double cut or triple cutting a field

wow thank god for no till. this is a lot of work

that disk is work for that wee little tractor 0_0

how wide is that disc?

Did the 4440 pull the disk good . Our 4440 struggles with the 18 foot disk

Why don't farmers use mold boards anymore?

Are you in Iowa?

Sometimes your terminology throws me - stakes for fence post.

why does it have to gear shifters

U know you can cut the corn stalks down an it will be a lot easier for the disk

Should straight pipe that 4640

Get some cat challengers my farm is cat lexion,challenger get some of them

:)
