EXACTEMERGE Demo! - #423

good morning well it's going to be an exciting day it's a beautiful day they were saying i was going to rain this morning or a chance of rain that that ain't going to happen um i got somebody here picking up some corn transfers i got another guy coming to get a box of beans that is the last one for a customer in here and um phil just came loaded up his seat tender he's planting beans so we're moving some stuff around and then we're gonna get going planting finishing up today [Music] all right well we're getting ready to go plant corn and i've got a special treat for you guys this is not our corn planter this is not our tractor our local john deere dealer had promised me a demo units and it finally showed up yesterday and so we get to run it just for a little bit this morning this is not an extended demo or anything more than probably two hours is what i'm hoping to get out of it so um but we're gonna run it and it's gonna be awesome so this is a 24 row exact emerge planner high speed which i'm really looking forward to we've got a 8370r tractor pulling it and uh i'm pretty excited about this so we gotta get it all loaded up a lot of setup stuff here the dealer is here they're setting the tech out as well just to make sure we don't have any problems and everything's working like it's supposed to and um yeah this one's gonna be so fun planter has a 450 gallon tank on it which is better than my 300 gallon on my planter but it doesn't have a hitch so we can't pull ours i mean i could but he doesn't want to let me which is fine so we'll do 450 gallon fills okay we are loaded up and i think about ready to go to the field here so i thought i would just go over this stuff a little bit the tractor is awesome it's similar to ours would be a size bigger and a step newer i don't know what year this tractor is or how many hours are on it but 8370r pretty sweet um planner here 24 row exact emerge john deere so this is very different than what ours is you can see the row unit setup is different and maybe at some point we'll take one of these apart but i'm not going to do it right now but it uses this bowl instead of a plate and uh it has a a brush built seed tube delivery system so that it yeah you can kind of see it there it actually delivers the seed right to the ground instead of letting it free fall uh to get there so um we've got unit mounted row cleaners which i'm excited to try especially in this cover crop stuff and also fertilizer is unit mounted right here these sunco openers so we'll see how all of that stuff works but yeah uh it also has the hydraulic down pressure so instead of an air bag in here like on that planter we've got hydraulic cylinders to control the down pressure pretty cool there yeah this is why we can't have a 24-0 planter it doesn't fit between the poles and the road so i end up with the same situation i ended up with the other day where i got to keep jogging around them but that's all right uh we're having some issues with the fertilizer system not working quite right so they're working on just diagnosing that i'm just staying the heck out of the way all right you guys ready for this so we've gotten uh the fertilizer figured out turns out you have to turn the pump on and um we've got it around all of the electric poles and out of the sprayer ruts and everything seems to be working relatively well and guess what it's time to open this thing up so we're running 6.5 right now but uh let's let's go you uh you wouldn't know from the dust that this field is too wet to be planting but it's like the last one so we're doing it anyway because we got to get it done 19th of may today um those row cleaners are moving some dirt which i don't know if that's a great thing or not but this is probably one of the worst fields we have or most need for row cleaners i guess you would say because we've got that residue so i was interested to see what kind of a job they would do here and they're they're throwing dirt [Music] is it gonna work he said he wanted to use this to get between the road and the telephone poles is it gonna fit expensive mistake if not and i think not [Music] turns out 370 horsepower is not enough tractor to pull a 24-hole planter at 10 miles an hour at least in these ground conditions uh we're we're doing seven two sometimes it's getting up in the eight range there's seven nine but uh definitely we're working it let's see um productivity instant 64 acres an hour that's insane for reference my planner when i'm running i think it's uh 22 23 acres an hour so yeah we're we're covering ground in a hurry here all right we're gonna stop and get out take a look at it and see what kind of job everything's doing so you can see this heavy residue that we're working into here and uh as dusty as it is as dry as it is it's still not dry look at this it's still moist here and we're getting some mud with these uh road cleaners a little bit but basic setup here these row cleaners are supposed to move the trash out of the way and then we've got a double disc uh fertilizer opener there that's putting the the fertilizer down and then the seed openers are right in behind there that's laying the seed in the trench and the seed openers for the most part of the same setup is on our planter two of them they make a v and drops the seed down in there and then the closing wheels come in push the dirt back on top you'll notice the gauge wheels are a little different they're the spoked ones that are open just to help trash and dirt and stuff fall out of there a little bit better um if we get over here where you can see a little bit better you can see there's our seat trench and in this firm dirt it's holding open more than it does where we were worked dirt so everything looks good we're moving the trash out of the way when you look down the rows you can see it i'm happy with that let's dig oh right there it was dang it find another one this planter set a little shallower than mine an inch and three quarters which is fine it's late it's gonna grow fast uh and we got plenty of moisture so the seeds there it seems like it's doing a good job i'll show you some of the monitor stuff when we get back in the tractor we can watch the ride quality and the population singulation all that good stuff there you go downhill nine and a half mile an hour now we're cruising so you can see here's our simulation map um little bars are good multiples 0.2 skips zero point one that's that's good there's gotta be i gotta learn how this works singulation 99.6 populations at thirty four thousand eight hundred the set point is right underneath it it's following my scripts um i don't have any idea what that .09 means spacing something i don't know not important i guess there is a sensor a couple of sensors that are bad on this apparently parts are really hard to get so those two that are red that's the problem with there but um no big deal so down force margin so that's showing how much it's uh pressure is on the gauge wheels is there a ride quality button on here yeah ground contact we actually may need a little bit more margin that's sort of low at 90. well it turns out when you're planting 24 rows at eight miles an hour you burn through 450 gallons of fertilizer in a hurry a hurry hurry so we're uh we're reloading here and then we're gonna head back and plant it out and that'll be it feels weird in here without my whole window of displays and monitors that i'm used to and just like that our demo has come to an end i did not quite get the fertilizer tank empty um but we ran out of seed so oh well we're going to get the fertilizer out of it and then we'll uh get our planter ready to go and come finish this field i wonder how many acres i did 55 acres cool [Music] we did that in an hour and nine minutes at least an hour and nine minutes with the planter in the ground it is a little after 11. it took us a while to get started it took us a while to work around these poles and stuff but man you can fly with this thing okay i hooked up the uh hose there it should it should gravity feed from that tank back into my tank there's no way for me to pump it but um yeah i'm going to we're going to empty out a little bit of seed that is left in there and we got to get our data off of the display in the tractor brock i said to empty the seed tanks that's it that's all that was left wow that's impressive so i want to pull one of these meters apart before this leaves just so i can see it and how it works and everything we're going to drop a little seed it's okay i already unhooked it sorry well not that much so there's the bowl the seeds stick to the individual little cells and there's a little tab on there it must be to help make the transition hold that yeah so this is the brush belt the seeds get stuck in this brush and then that turns and sends them down to the ground how's this pull out just pull ah don't have enough hands because i got a film oh unplug the seed sensor so that's quite a seed tube compared to what's on my planner hold that but you can see the the brush there at the top the seeds get in they come down this side passed by a sensor then they come down the bottom here and this brush is turning and it the speed matches the speed of the planter so it kind of flings the seat backwards so it drops straight down it's pretty cool they they seem to work really well really well electric motor to drive the meter another one to drive the brush cool other than that the row unit is relatively the same i think there may be a little bit wider or different angles to it every row has got a controller to run the motors and and there are sensors down in here on this uh gauge uh wheel pin that sends the downforce and so that's what's controlling the hydraulic cylinder on the uh down pressure there so yeah pretty neat yeah these meters are completely different the um [Music] these fingers here are the double eliminator to knock all the doubles off of the seed plate kind of strip down here for something i don't know what and then this is where the handoff happens to the brush instead of it getting past and falling down it just brushes it off right there you never actually cut the vacuum do you yeah yeah i guess it does [Music] the plates are different cool that was fun i i enjoyed that a lot so i think i got my dad and we're gonna go make sure and uh that planter is sold the guy is waiting for it so i appreciate them taking the time to make sure that i got to run it a little bit here and uh i don't know i suppose he's gonna get me a price on a planner we're not in the planter market but you know it doesn't hurt to price them right super huge thank you to greenmark equipment for bringing that planner demo down here today i really really appreciate it now i will say that this had very little to do with my youtube channel it was not because i make these videos that they brought me that demo this is a unit that they have had available for other farmers and they try and get it to a few different places for people to use and stuff so um but i very much appreciate it and um we're gonna get ours loaded up it's gonna be tough going slow good thing it's the last day of planning we got 100 acres to do we'll get this knocked out home sweet home back in my tractor cab kind of feels like i cheated on it okay i'm gonna suck out the remaining fertilizer that we have in the bottom of this tank figure out how many gallons it is so that um i can figure out how much more i need to get and get it here all right i loaded up the rest of the fertilizer that we had um i've got enough for this feel i don't have enough for the last 30 acres that we've got to do so i need about 250 gallons of 1034 oh so i'm gonna see what i gotta do to get that coming and uh we'll make it work which is is is good to be out sucks to be a little short but it's not the end of the world it looks so little that's all right it is nice to start this field half done almost already so i believe we had like 73 acres to go here uh there's 128 in this field and i did 55 so do the math and i can figure that out 73 that seems right um it's a little tricky because my coverage map's not here so it doesn't know that it's going to overlap for half the planter here so we got to come over here to our halfway disconnect just shut that half of the planter off so that it's not planting it's easy to remember to shut it off the trick is remembering to turn it back on when you turn around down here i tell you what i just can't win with this fertilizer hose i stopped because i ran out of seed into one spot i had to level the tanks off and i walked around here and all of a sudden the hoses just burst but there's not a trail like it did it when i stopped right here which is good that i caught it but what the heck the hose just ripped this green hose is lighter duty than the black stuff but it's what i had i didn't think it would break just from driving around i think i got some more of the black stuff at the farm uh looks like we're gonna have to go there or have brock come here i decided just to take it back to the farm it's easier where we've got tools and a hose and i can rinse off the fertilizer off of everything so we're just gonna go back there it's close [Music] rinse all of that crap off new hose the good hose and it's longer than the old hose hopefully this hose won't break like the other hoses okay i also took off or brock took off the little stand that was there because i kind of wonder if it wasn't getting caught on that or something and binding i don't know anyway back to the field we go while my seed ran out in there um which is good i had two bags of a variety that i was all i was able to get this year it's one of those technically new for next year do for 2022 hybrids that they got me two bags of this year so that i could try it so i dumped a bag in each side we're gonna plant that out and then brock's sitting at the end of the field with my seed tender it would appear we're dodging rain showers oh no oh no we're getting closer to getting this field done we are filled up and planting in again but um crap crap crap crap crap it's raining uh please don't rain me out please not now no no not now not good not good not good not good not good i think we're gonna uh we don't have to quit yet oh gosh we're right on the northern edge of it oh no oh it's moving north dang it oh i'm not quitting yet i'm not quitting yet this dirt's not sticky because it's not tilled so when the ground gets so wet on top that it starts sticking to our gauge wheels that's when we absolutely have to quit um because you're no longer planting as deep as you want to plant and everything gets erratic and that's no good um this cover crop stuff is going to hold us up a little bit better so that's kind of kind of kind of good but when the windshield gets sheeted like that usually it means you gotta quit i think we weathered this one uh that was borderline but the hood's starting to dry off and it didn't go about my gauge wheels so we're we're gonna keep planting you know running that big high-speed planter this morning was a lot of fun and we covered a lot of ground in a hurry but this is a nice leisurely five miles an hour pace here i get to sit back and scroll through instagram facebook watch some youtube videos kick my feet up and relax a little bit from one end of the field to the other i don't get to do that when i'm going 10 miles an hour i got to pay attention to everything and you got to turn around before you even get settled in i don't mind this so much oh by the way if you're not on instagram you should be and you should follow me and if you are on instagram and you follow me and you don't follow rob sharkey go check out the video that he posted motivating his corn as a motivational speaker that's pretty hilarious okay i think we've got a little under 20 acres to go it's a little hard to tell because the coverage map is split between what we already did this morning with the other tractor and planter and this one so i've done 54 acres here with this one we did about 55 with the other planner uh which means we should have about 20 acres left because there's 128 in the field so maybe a little less um we are going to run out of seat again i think i got enough for six or seven acres still in there so brock is currently assembling all of the open plot bags and any corn bag of open seed that we have anywhere he's bringing it to me and we're gonna dump that in the planter mix it all together and plan it out and finish with that uh and well not finished but plant until that's gone and then i'm gonna start opening up the bags that are on the planter i don't want to open anything until i have to and so we're planting everything else out all the boxes are empty and we were close on scene really close which which is good um what else oh yeah so i have some good news today uh you guys remember last night i don't know if i showed you this morning but our 9r we had an antifreeze leak yesterday uh and we thought it was something major major series like a head gasket or something and when they were down working with that planter here this morning they had one of their service techs out and he took a peek at that tractor and turns out there's just a small uh steel coolant line i believe it's steel coolant line that has rubbed through on a clamp and it was blowing everything out and that was the problem it's a super easy fix we just got to get the line so he ordered one and i don't know if we'll get it tomorrow or not but either way not a 40 50 60 000 engine or a 10 000 head gasket job or anything just a probably 100 steel line that i can put on myself that's a wind okay well brock came and he's on his way out we have reached the um mixed seed portion of our planting window so we dumped all of that in there we have 95 to 118 day corn in the planter right now and we're going to plant until it's gone it's all mixed together it is what it is we don't get a ton of acres of this but we got to use it up somehow and i'm not doing it one little plot partial plot bag at a time i do get asked sometimes about the plots and why is that row not planting hold on i forgot to flip the ccs fan back in that'll do it so anyway um i get asked sometimes about whether we get paid for the plot work and stuff that i do and i don't really get paid for it but they do provide the seed and when you do as many entries as we do that kind of adds up so i did 25 entries in the plot here plus another 10 down to berkey so that's 35 plot bags we'll call it 36. um and they're a third of a bag each well i guess they're not quite a bag is 80 000 kernels a plot bag is 25 000 girls so it's almost a full bag for every three uh plot bags and so you know if you said 33 divided by three that's 11 bags of seed corn and at even hundred dollars a pop that's over two thousand dollars worth of the seat that they're giving me to put those plots in so um yeah i mean it it it adds up it's something look who's here hi boys oh no rylan was being naughty hey sorry dude i was hungry hey brayson what's on your shirt [Music] sharky wearing sunglasses hey boys what happened over there i didn't get stuck we almost got stuck it's pretty wet over there whoops all right we're on the last round in this field so um i dumped in some of the uh bags that i had up there because i wasn't gonna have enough to finish this field i think i want to figure that out by now but uh we've got plenty now so we're gonna what are you doing we're gonna finish it and then head to the next one brock is getting me a couple more bags to throw up there to take to the next field so that we know we're gonna have enough for down there i'm not gonna put them in until i need them because i don't want extra uh open bags and now we're gonna fill up the fertilizer that we got left they did bring me a little bit more today so we'll load that into our tank go down there plant until we're done we're done with this field one more to go all right so um we're back here we're loading up the last of the fertilizer brock is pumping that on for me because grandpa pulled in with the sprayer so we gotta go find him all right guys we got problems um i'm so close i'm so close i got to uh it's gone no it's still there i got an error message about a steering system redundancy fault something about a steer one solenoid circuit fault something or other means i don't have auto steer it means my steering works but very slowly like i have to turn the wheel a lot to get it to do anything which makes it very difficult to plant this by hand but we get to plant this field which is super weird odd shaped by the way it's like by hand when it doesn't work and that's gonna be oh the last one's not gonna be fun here oh man guys this uh driving thing it's not as easy as it looks um i'm using the the screen as a light bar right now because i'm making a pass through the middle of the field kind of so i don't have any mark or anything to follow this is old school gps and it's it's better than free hand but i'm not doing a great job but i am getting better well for no auto steer that's not so bad we're keeping them fairly straight our back tank is about empty in this field there are two little pieces over there on the other side of them trees that are uh between an acre and an acre and a half each and they're triangular shaped which makes them even more fun so as soon as this back tank is empty we're gonna go over and unhook it brock's sitting over there waiting for me because he's gonna tall at home with the pickup and then i've got enough fertilizer in the tank on the planter to finish our tank is empty we are done with it for the year it needs cleaned up and put away so we got it unhooked brock's gonna pull it home let me get the planter out of the way and get it home i got that uh big field here done and here's the reason why i didn't want to pull the tank anymore because like here's the field it's like acres and it's a triangle so not a big deal that the auto steer doesn't work in this one because i would have been able to use it for about two passes anyway well i got that triangle done and there it is that's the last field plant 21 corn anyway so one of the other problems with this uh steering fault that this tractor has thrown is oil top speed 6.2 miles an hour that's that's fun especially when we're five miles from the farm we're only the tractor in the field tonight but we are going to finish this one 1.6 acres i think in this little field again triangular shaped and that's it and we're done well crap i ran out of seed on a row i hope there's enough in there i can just level it off because like we don't have two acres to plant no such luck dang it open another bag it's done finally corn plant 21 check mark anyway um we're gonna leave the planter set here because i'm not taking it home six miles an hour uh but i have a bag of seed on the deck i'm gonna grab and some empty bags throw them in the truck and we'll take them back with us so that they don't get rained on i don't think it's going to rain but there was a chance so i don't know how phil's coming we'll check in on that tomorrow we'll figure out how to what we got to do to get this tractor fixed we'll figure out what we got to do to get the 9r fix or we know what i just hope we get the line tomorrow so um yeah we'll wrap this up at the farm here in a few minutes we're done brock good feeling i'm tired i'm going home guys um it is good to be done we finished today is the 19th of may this is it's not early but it's not terribly late to be finishing planting it's not june the last two years we've been planting corn in june so i'm glad that that's not the case and um you know hopefully from here on out we get some decent weather the rest of the crops keep coming up all the stuff that we planted in the last week or so here comes out of the ground and gets off to a good start and we don't have any major replay issues i've already heard of a fair amount of replant issues happening down south farther in ohio the guys that planted during that two-day window that we had there um when it was it was that that tuesday wednesday before it started raining they have a lot of soil crusting issues i haven't gone out and specifically looked at those fields that we planted then but i can row them from the road so i think we're okay but we need to go out and do some scouting that's on the agenda for tomorrow to look and see how the early planted stuff is doing and uh what uh what those super early planted beans look like they've gotta grown just tremendously over the last week and i haven't seen them for a long time so we'll see we'll do some scouting tomorrow um i was gonna say something but i'm tired and i forgot what so i'm just gonna go home thanks for watching everybody the focus is gonna change a little bit here moving forward um obviously side dressing corn is kind of the next big thing well getting beans planted and i added it up i think fills down to just over 200 acres of beans to plant so probably won't finish them tomorrow but should get darn close we've got some tillage work that's got to get done and right now our two tractors that are available for tillage and not on a bean planter yeah out of commission so hopefully we get them fixed tomorrow and we can uh get this tillage done get the beans planted have a great night everybody thanks for watching see you tomorrow
