Planting Oats With Case 830 Rolling The Oat Field

Рет қаралды 14,892

Ай бұрын

The fields are finally ready to be planted. The Case 830 Tractor gets to work with our John Deere grain drill. After the first round, Alan attaches a drag to the grain drill to cover the seeds. After planting, the field gets rolled by the International 1066 and our homemade field roller.

TD, I enjoyed watching. We had a IH drill about the same vintage/size. It had a board across the back that I spent many hours riding on while dad was seeding winter wheat. We drug a heavy log chain behind to smooth and level the ground. Boe

You have the same seed drill we had , we had a bord across the back to stand on , i remember my grandfather pulling the drill with me standing on the back of the drill on the bord , he had me back there to keep the seed level when we planted the hill side's,

What a great way for kids to grow up. I’m so glad I grew up on a farm in the 80’s and 90’s. All we had was old Farmall’s and Oliver’s. 12 years old I was backing gravity wagons and 4 wheel hay wagons into barns better than anyone.

Thank you for all you do as a farmer and keeping us fed! BTW not all of us watching are farmers. I grew up on farms and have an appreciation. Soon as I move out of Green Bay Wi and into the country again I plan to get some cows! Thanks for the videos Alan! You the man! Keep the videos coming

There's a neat way to calibrate the drill that can get you within 5% in about 15 minutes. Works with any drill. I'm not sure where to find it, but one of the southern University's has it on KZfaq. It's worth a try, saves wasted seed or thin stands. Great video with the Van Brunt drill. Or a close descendant. 👍👍

@jvin248 Ай бұрын

If you do decide to experiment with no-till/minimal-inputs of planting corn/beans into standing rye (or oats!) you run that triple roller "down and back" (to knock down any trying to stand up) after the corn/beans emerge and it flattens the rye/oats cover crop. Without spending big on a roller-crimper two passes with a roller like you have works.

@douglasmacarthur8775 Ай бұрын

I seeded a lot of oats during my farming days and never felt the need to exceed 3 bushels per acre. Oats stools out. I don't believe seeding at a heavier rate than 3 bushels per acre will increase your grain yield at harvest time. In my area of MN, you "seeded" small grains and "planted" row crops.

@richdillon2157 Ай бұрын

Hey Y'all, I have kinda of a dumb question, I see you roll your oats in and I see some others that don't roll them in. Back on our ole Family farm, We never did and our cousin next to us did! Growing up I really never seen the difference between rolling them in and not rolling them in. So what is the benifit of rolling them in to not rolling them in?Here I am 65 years old and still know the reason. I guess I never learned that lesson or was never taught. Enjoyed your video, Thanks for sharing.

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

It pushes the rocks down and gives a better seed to soil contact.

@JamesDedmon Ай бұрын

Question why not just use the brillion behind the grain drill, not just to seed alfalfa. That would save a pass, since fuel is so expensive?

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

To much wear and tear on the brillion.

@JReis-yc6de Ай бұрын

Seeding is kind of a quiet operation operation compared to some field work. Seemed like when we sowed you could always hear the clinking sound especially when we used chains behind. Might have been the springs on the disc movement making more noise on our IH drills.Do you feed your oats as a supplement at milking time or chop it as a hay or silage? My dad grew oats a coupld years, but worried about shelling. We usually grew barley since we are in a wheat growing area. That crop may not work with corn rotation. Those hollow rollers are quite drum like. We had more packer type that were pretty heavy and were made to crush hard clods for pea growing to make a real smooth bed as the dried clods could get pretty hard. It's good to get going I bet. Best wishes. Those Case have their own sound, but I guess other makes do too.

@user-ej8dc7rs7k Ай бұрын

I realize you in a different part of the country but I was wondering why you only plant four pounds to the acre. If I’m going for forage I at least plant fifty. Grain I usually 100 pounds to the acre. Now we have to irrigate everything in utah. I realize that sandy ground needs lots of water.

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

This is for grain, 4bu per acre, if I said pounds in the video, that was my mistake.

Question? When I plant oats I usually get bin run oats from a mill. I don't even know what kind they are. Should you plant certified oats for a Good yield or do you think it comes down to ground prep. Alot of times my oats don't get as tall as I would like. Thanks

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

If you're using bin run oats ,it's not a bad idea to check the germination before you plant. Because if the germination rate is poor, a lot of them won't grow. A lot of the hight depends on the variety of oats, some are a short plant and some are tall.

@aedenjohnson6103 Ай бұрын

Also I would like it to be run through a fanning mill to avoid weed seeds.

If you buy certified seed you can select a variety that has the characteristics you desire.

Do you need that much tractor to pull the drill? I never got to visit my families farms early enough in spring to see a drill that size used but seems like it wouldn't be to heavy of a lift with the ground already worked up and all. Could Franklin pull the drill?

@woodsgremlin9995 Ай бұрын

Those hills are steeper than they look and really sandy.

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

It was a pretty good workout for that tractor. With the sandy soil and the hills, I don't think Franklin would do it.

@jamesbristow5740 Ай бұрын

@@trinitydairy You think it's the 5 and a half horse difference or is the deere turned up?(is something i've heard people say about diesel engines). Or maybe diesel has the extra torque to pull the hills. I'll find a few acres to farm someday darn it, always learned better by watching others do than reading it in a book.

@trinitydairy Ай бұрын

It's a combination of, more horsepower, torque, and weight.
