FW Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I've seen pics of that outfit before but never the video :o :o Yeah I think that there was a write up on it in one of the tractor magazines like classic tractor I think. Looks fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodhead Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 can some one explain what the fendt is pulling? and why it needs that beast in front to pull it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 We discussed this before.... Is it called "deep bed ploughing" ?? \ I don't think the fendt is capable of the job on its own and is being used more as a tool carrier for the bigger HP machine....... \ I think either ol or TOG were quite clued up about the process, I seem to think it was to do with bringing warmer soil to the surface but I might be totally wrong!

james f Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 They do it on the Polders to bring up the sandy silt base from below and bury the heavy clay/topsoil. This creates better soil conditions for growing root vegetables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 why not just put the plough on the big yellow thing?? Having the two of them together would provide more horsepower and make the job easier I would have thought...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 thats some serious bit of ploughing aint it, can see why the fendts being pulled as its near as bottemed out, doesn't look like the top side wheels have any real traction at all, and thats some huge furrow on that plough, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 As Jame has said it?s realy to help root crops,You would not get the pay back from doing that much deep working to only grow a crop of feed barley. There are a few root crop growers around my area that have\do play around with the idea of deep ploughing,but only useing standard ploughs,even if the land is not `ploughed over`well they have still got what they want and the 1 or 2 goings over the ground with a big hoe soon smack the ground down level again. Deep ploughing and bring up in our case a little yellow clay is often though to bring back some of the fert that has been washed down below the roots are years of heavy irrigation and alot of root cropping. With light land adding a little clay to it just stiffens the ground up and makes it hold the water just that little bit extra. In the wet winter of 2006 this idea did?nt work as the clay that had been ploughed up into the top soil made the ground to wet to harvest,but most years the idea has some merit. I remeber one local farmer with a NewHolland\Fait M160 out ploughing so deep that he was leaveing 5 half yellow furrows behind him then the lime and base fert would be spread on then he?d give the ground a pass with a grubber to mix the fert well down into the soil,then the next day he would come in with a 3mtr rotory hoe and spend a full day with the tractor slogging it?s guts out big time hoeing it all down before carrots were planted. (just looked up and seen all that , get a bit carryed away some times.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allis8550 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 why not just put the plough on the big yellow thing?? Doesn't look to me as if the Cameco has a three point linkage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Doesn't look to me as if the Cameco has a three point linkage. It hasn't, I think it would also compact the ground too much if it had as he would need to run in the furrow with that plough..... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 What are they doing, turning Peat or something? Can't believe a gert Fendt like that can't manage a poxy single furrow plough though . .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The whole preocess is to bring up the slit deep down in the soil up to the surface (done by a big furow) and the small furrow puts the top layer of clay etc down into the bottom of the furrow. Mainly done for specialist crops like baby carrots etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Was talking to my german cobber the other day about it and he was say that his farther last had there paddocks done in the 70?s. He was saying that with the cost of doing a job like that now days the deal is hardly on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pingu Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Erm not really just that it helps bring up much more fertile soil that will improve yields help with harvesting by breaking up easier and help preventing damages etc and also helps with following cultivations. Thats it really not done alot on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light Land Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Arh right,seems like a lot of work for baby carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
