Wes Clark is a huge follower When he heard his Uncle Jon was going to be delivering the Earthmaster he was so excited!!

Left the farm many years ago but I really enjoyed the demonstration video. No till is the easiest and saves money. Good job, good crop and pray for rain!

It's really nice to farm with new equipment, I know after 44yrs I bought quite a lot.You feel like you're accomplished something when you can purchase equipment after a hard year.😎

Gibson City, IL! I spent some of my summers on a family farm in that area. Congrats on the purchase!

This one's here to stay!

I love the smell of new equipment in the morning.

Great overview of the machine. Thank you.

Thanks for filming the walk thru demo talk. It's nice to learn how farm equipment functions. Saying this as a non-farmer :-)

You made the right decision,nobody but you knows the land and equipment needs better than you.Can't wait to see it in use.

The guy from Earthmaster did a brilliant job of explaining the set up and design of it.

I hope big blue stays on the farm it's a nice tractor

nice bit of kit Ryan.. looking forward to seeing it in action...

Looks like another nice piece of equipment. Looking forward to seeing it in action.

A row crop New Holland would be the bomb. Thanks for the demo. Nice to have unbiased opinions. Thanks!

Ready to see how this beauty performs. Maybe the weather will calm down soon.

We have a 1700 Earthmaster ripper you guys are gonna love that vertical tillage tool we have a Case 330 turbo till every year we gotta work on the darn thing

Wow that big KW900 came up the driveway like a boss! Nice!

The benefits of vertical tillage is not only chopping cornstalks but preserving soil structure so as to increase topsoil organic matter and the water storage capacity of the soil and the subsoil. Vertical tillage also helps to reduce or eliminate the "hard pan" layer which in turn allows plant roots to penetrate deeper into the soil so as to utilize deeper water reserves and nutrients. It also keeps water from running off as much as it happens with conventional tillage. Research has shown that corn yields can increase up to 17.5 bushels verses conventional tillage per acre depending on the weather conditions.

Really look forward to seeing this machine in use

Great video , can't wait to see it working ! ! !

with all these trucks making deliveries your neighbors are going to think your robbing banks or you won the lottery LOL

Can't wait to see this thing in action!

Try out a McFarland Incite 5000, we have one and it works very well because it has a row of flouted disc blades then a soil beater to break up clumps then another row of disc blades then a 3 bar drag and finally a rolling basket to top it off on the back and level things off really nice

Sweet, we got snow, plowing and disc done for the year here

Nice to see new equipment!

Can't wait to see this rig in the field.

You should look into a Horsch Joker, my farm uses a 31ft joker for breaking corn stalks and wheat stubble. With a jd 9630 I can pull it at 11mph at 3in deep.

I guess yall had a plentyfull harvest, always new equipment and toys.

yes finaly i have been waiting for so long :) and also when are you getting the other equipment

Thanks for uploading man

Sweet disc I like it . Will work well , we tried one

Ryan- Trying this tool represents a total change in your approach to soil management.We have these things all over the place. When asked in the past why you disk so deep and chisel so deep (Dad said 12-14 inches) you said because it works for you. Why now do you think 2 1/2 inches is the way to go? You are changing from primary tillage to minimum tillage. If it works, it would have always worked. Shallow disking will accomplish a lot of the residue sizing and management this new vertical till will do. (not as fast or as well, mind you) I guess what surprises me is old ways are hard to die. Disking 8 inches deep was what worked for you, what happened??? You may not like the look of the job it does. One negative this tool has around here is residue movement. Under the right conditions the trash will blow and float away. Friend raked it up in his yard into big windrows and lit on fire. Wife wouldn't speak to him for a week after wreaking the yard. Others have been called out to unplug ditches that filled with corn residue and caused some flooding. Glad to see you guys trying to experiment with reduced tillage. doug

For a non-farmer that is fascinated by farming, I found this very interesting. You don't learn about how equipment is supposed to operated if you are not a farmer.

we have a 40 ft vertical till and i love it

we have something similar to this. works really well

+How Farms Work You guys win the lottery? By the way need to bring my 4 year old up and let you guys show him the farm. My grandma lives up in Reedsburg and of course i'm down in batavia IL. He loves watching you guys he is 4 and thinks farming is just awesome. I grew up on a farm so once he went to school the teacher was asking us do you live on a farm. He knew so much about farming they assumed he was a farm boy lol

Nice piece of equipment! Its like christmas early.

those rolling baskets are sure light looking compared to the ones on my john deere airseeder

that came from 45 miles away from me i live in chenoa illinois and gibson city is 45 miles thats awesome

great video Ryan and great advertisement for the dealer that sold it to you. Hurry up fields so we can see it working!

Looks like a very well built equipment

Seeing that you may have forty more years of farming ahead of you the time to buy new equipment is now.

Overkill is underrated. Congrats on your purchase.

I live close to Gibson City! I never heard of this company though.

A 25 foot is plenty....you still have some pretty narrow fence rows if I remember correctly.

That truck driver was coming in hot lol

Tubro till from Great Plains is very good

Good video, big blue is much better that green these days. green needs to do a better job keeping up to the changes in technology.

We also have a vertical tillage tool. It is a Landoll though.

Gibson City, thats right by me. Didnt know this was there

I wasn't paying attention when the guy started talking, thought you were doing a funny voice. Lol

Always a little surprised at the dichotomy of doing no-till and than running a disk.

that thing looks tiny on that new holland

wouldn't you want to pull it with the 8235r because it has duals?

A used Earthmaster no-till is around $40K. That's a lot of money for a small farm like yours. I'm wondering if/what the payback time is. I know you are getting the no-tillage equipment for no cost, yet if you were to have purchased it, that would be a huge expenditure for just chopping up corn stalks. Isn't there a better way of doing that type of work? Certainly, since modern farming implements have been around for a hundred years now, there would have been an entrepeneur who would have built a better mouse trap for a cheaper price. I feel sorry for the small farmers. They seem to always get it in the butt whenever a new piece of equipment comes on the market. Sure that equipment is better than an old Ford n8, but dang, a hundred grand for a tractor, another fifty K for an implement and then there is the cost of fertilizer, soil amendments, insurance, and seed.....Farmers get screwed quite often by so many different types of money bleeders. I hope this all works out for you financially, Ryan. I for one am grateful for your hard work. Please don't get discouraged because America needs farmers like you to feed us. God bless.

I bought a 27" 7.5" spacing many years ago from an IH dealer. He said I could not pull it with a John Deere 4850 mfd. He just had bias things to say about JD. Now I do no till mostly and with the larger JD that needs a 30 ft. and can not be spending so much for the limited times I use it. A disk is not meant to be pulled over 6 mph because it starts to float at high speeds. 2" deep seems to be shallow to pull very hard.

good skills !

2:56 68MPH?!?! Holy wow! That's fast

so are you guys buying the new Holland? can they still sell it as "new" when you guys give it back? thanks

What angle do the blades run at??

Is the earthmaster and the new Holland a rental from Sloan Implement.

Nice vid man

it's always better to have a little more power then u need then not enough!!

we pull a 35 foot disc with a 8320R

wow i just drove though Gibson today

Very nice

Well I notice that the description says, "our first piece of equipment". SoI take it your getting other equipment too?

how long does it take to grow corn?

my dad's farm is right down the road from Gibson

Hey Ryan I was just wondering why did u go with an earth master

That is the same exact thing as a case 330 tru tandem painted black

great vids thx

How Farm Work whay nh back axle is hath narrow wheelbase?

Cool video.

Hey Ryan, you may have answered this already but are y'all planning to upgrade in the near future..

Are you keeping this like owning it. Keeping it for years?

Loved that rig. Kenworth?

I think the earth master will work perfectly with the 4640

How much horsepower is required for the 25ft unit?

Would like to know how well it worked

Do you ever plow your Fields??

Did you say they brought the earth master from Gibson City

+howfarmswork when is the next piece coming

Awsome

Did you guys but the new holland or renting it

we have a 31foot and we pull it with a quad track

You are better to be under sized than over. You need to match the horsepower with the implement.

Make sure you watch the nuts that hold the gangs together, he had issues with our accelerator working them loose and then bending the rod.

I would bet hard money you can pull this up the hills easily. Maybe so much you wish you had gone larger. Their HP ratings seem high.

What all did you buy

Did you buy the NH

nice!!

to "replace a disc"..... for residue management yes. if you have any ditches or need to move dirt... no. a VT is not a disc

what brand boots do you wear

well you guys should have got the case 330 Turbo till. they are a lot heavier built machine we've been using one for 2 years.

How are the calfs and where do you live not to stalk you but what state, I live in Kansas

good video ryan

How much did this cost?

when is the next new piece of equipment supposed to come

this looks like our case ih 330 turbo till
