Great job Mike! Apparently you are doing it right. Small, family dairy, still surviving. Don't let the negative people get you. Yall are awesome!

Thank you Zeke. I didn't get anything real negative. I just like to joke around with the people who can't believe I do things differently . I appreciate your kind words

Brillion does make a great seedbed. I’ve used John Deere, landoll, but brillion sets the bar. I agree they are heavy built. Even if you were to pull a disk with a brillion roller behind it that does a great job too. Ives had my fair share of long time use with each of them.. brillion is top notch.. great video Mike..

It's interesting how every region of the country has a different name for this implement. In my neck of the woods, it's a roller harrow, unless it was built by the Parma equipment company of Parma Idaho, then it's a rollaharrow.

I used to pull what we called a culti-mulcher behind a disc, using a 4630. It did a great job on Michigan soil. This was back in the mid 80’s.

We diid the same thing in the 70s and 80s planting corn. Plowed, disked, then disked again with the culti-mulcher, Then planted.

That tool does a great job reducing the clump size in the field. Looks like you could finish the job much faster if you added an Auto-Trak Universal to that tractor on this job.

Hello... excellent drone and driving skill in use as usual 👏 👍🏻. All the names for the equipment over there is brilliant but when I see some I call it somthing else I suppose its just a way to find a market or something eg roller Harrow 😀.. hope you get a set of folding rolls with paddles some day Mike as we wouldn't be without ours.. 😊.

I have always preferred to call these culti-packers; seed bed rollers. Some use them before the run with the planter, some after the planter has planted. I do both depending the soil type and what is being planted. On ground with rock content, nice to run these rollers to push down the rocks after planting. Most land rollers, have smooth roller surface, whereas most Brillion culti-packers have notch rollers, that helps reduce soil erosion when raining. Regards, Bob
@mikep7810Ай бұрын
I've heard them called culti-packers or culti-mulcher, I've never heard them called bed rollers before. John Deere had the same type of roller. The Brillion just have a much bigger and heavier duty roller and frame compared to the John Deere. The tines actually look the same between the Brillion and John Deere

How deep are you running the shovels to mix in the fertilizer? I would love to try one of these in the spring before planting. Sometimes after we field cultivate.. we still have big soil clods, or corn root balls. I think this would really help level the seed bed, firm the ground, but not too much, break up the soil clods, and perhaps break up the root balls a little more. It’s the old root balls that really give our planter a headache.
@mikep7810Ай бұрын
It depends on the field. If the field is tilled pretty good I'll put the tines in a little bit but if it looks like it needs a little more I'll adjust accordingly
@arthurok327Ай бұрын
Howdy Mike, I hope ya'll are doing well, I'm surprised you don't have a land roller, they pay for themselves, in saved repair bills on equipment, especially combines, you definitely don't want rocks going through your combine, they have the necessary weight, to knock down those rocks, that will do the damage, we roll all our fields, except for hay fields, obviously lol Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

Thank you Arthur. Maybe someday. I would like to get one. The roller harrow is working good now but for a field we are seeding over it would be nice to run the roller over it
