Randy needs to start a channel because his daily adventures are interesting! Those quadtracs are good on mud until the tracks fill with mud or they sink. But it normally takes some serious wet conditions to sink one . Our 580 has 36inch tracks and it floats in muck ground really well . We are finally getting dry weather soybeans are running full speed. Great video keep up the good work !
I’m glad they got all of that equipment out, what a stress it must have been! Any chance of a follow up video on the clearing up of the field they were stuck in? I do like the idea of the water flow regulator
I was stressed just watching that extraction. Amazed at the amount of ground water flowing through that control. Good coverage Zach.
Thanks Zack, great video. The drain tile and control structure installation reminded me of my Master's research project 40 years ago in eastern N.C. We were looking at losses of N and P from surface and subsurface agricultural drainage systems. We referred to the control structures as "flash board risers". And just as you explained, we added or removed flash boards to control the depth to the water table in the field.
Growing up on a farm in a desert area, when I heard “laying pipe”, I assumed it was irrigation pipe. It never crossed my mind that some areas needed help with drainage.
Back when there was quite a bit of snobbery between farmers and ranchers, and ranchers and cowboys, my grandfather was a Nebraska farmer who preferred to be a Wyoming rancher, so I know horses, not farming, and definitely not your part of the country. I always learn something from you, Millennial or not. This time, I was surprised by the beautifully clear water in the control structure. I was expecting it to be muddy or silty.
Great videos Zach , your video shows the every day problems & good days of farming life, man those machines were really bogged, I though it was wonderful how every one helped to get all the gear out, that drainage system is fantastic, thank you for this great video, Regards Trevor.W.Bacelli.Biloela Central Qld Australia.
