You are the first American farmer I've seen on U Tube running Lemken equipment. I believe that Lemken makes the best cutting smoothest leveling bottom plows on the market, I'd love to see you running one of those on here especially with the separate cultipacker tool.

Haha...Watch out Patrick, one day we might get a video of you in a Fendt tractor. The Germans build their farm equipment the same way they build their cars, precision engineered quality and performance. Beautiful video, you have some of the best KZfaq farming POV cinematography and composition out there. Great drone work too! Love it as always...

@@jamesh.5709 Thanks for the scripture! I don’t ever ask for likes or subs, and I don’t particularly like watching videos where people beg for them. My thoughts are people know how KZfaq works, and if they like what they see then they will subscribe. I recognize that the channel may have grown faster if I had asked for the subs. I have been blessed with rapid growth lately, in the big picture though, I have made 400+ videos over the course of 4 years, and I still haven’t hit 10,000 subs. By comparison to other content creators this is one of the slowest growing channels on KZfaq.

Field cultivator on steroids. I like that! You said a mouthful, my friend. There is a big, BIG difference between a tractor driver and an operator. This has always been one of our major problems. An operator takes pride in what he's doing. A driver doesn't care. All he's looking for is quitting time. Plus the fact that he keeps most of your $h!t tore up and in the shop.

Another informative and well filmed video Patrick ❤love the county music at the end 👍trying to name that tune …🤣 go on give us a clue ( Angie baby )is kinda revolving round …… the lemken makes a great job on top of the ploughing on the heavy clay I used to use a Dutch harrow way way back to do a similar job 1970s) nowadays the farms round here run lemken power harrows and for min till seedbed for corn something called a sumo ,trio or Quattro if you have ever seen one ? Back here it’s still raining tractors parked up … prob be a drought come June 🤣🤣 you know how it is

@PatrickShivers 2 ай бұрын
Different goals. This piece of equipment is extremely durable and will last decades. The trade off is it is extremely heavy, narrow, and requires a large tractor to pull it. US equipment is less durable, far less expensive, much wider, and can be pulled with smaller tractor. It’s basically two different mind sets.
