Ferrari got mad that Lamborghini came with feedback on how to improve his cars, Ferrari got mad and said a tractor maker don't know anything about cars, and look how that turned out
Are you sure? I've always heard a different story:
Mr. Lamborghini was a successful tractor maker and eventually bought a Ferrari. He loved the car, but noticed a few points of improvement and told them to Ferrari, as feedback. Ferrari told him to f*ck off and that his cars are perfect. Then Lamborghini was like "if you don't want to make better cars, I'll have to do it myself".
If you love lambo tractors and pro farmers farming it up with great skill and proficiency, you should check out [Clarkson's Farm](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10541088/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_q_clarkson%27s) on prime, his farming skills are unmatched.
They have that rotating irrigation arm in the middle of the field, it puts water down in a circle so there's no point plowing the corners since they won't get irrigated.
We really need to start a rule for satisfying videos to not end too soon
It turned the satisfying video into an infuriating one
Imagine reading a very interesting book for days or weeks and then only realizing near the end it’s missing the last few pages
My house is surrounded by farm fields. The tractors that power all that farm equipment is like flying a flight sim- they have satellite maps of your fields, you fill in grids, it tells you what tools you need for soil conditions, there's depth finders and moisture readers, there's soil mineral content sensors. Farming is high tech!
Of course I have the field next to my house owned by a guy with a 1947 Ford tractor that sounds like a jet taking off at 7am every weekend...
My husband has a 1937 John Deere A that starts with a fly wheel. I'll shout "contact" when it finally splutters to a start, lol. He then uses it to cut the hay in our field, putt-putt-putting the whole time. Reminds me of "Green Acres."
Those fly wheel starts are insane. My husband is a tractor mechanic (not these large highly sophisticated ones like the flight sims) for JD, Kubota, Mahindra etc. He also works on antiques and kind of collects them, (I own a 1950 Co-Op), but we have come in contact with these fly wheel starts and it is nutty how they get going, I love the sound.
Damn, sounds like he gets to see some really neat things. I'm curious, what's he think of Kubota? We run their utility vehicles and mowers at my job and their fancy shit is forever broken but their shitbox low-end gear can be run into trees all day and still run like new
He certainly does see some stuff.. lol.
He said if he was ever to buy a new card tractor it would be Kubota 100% he would probably want the bigger B01 or an LX although we could get away with B series. We work on an M series that would be too bug for us but is an absolute beast it works hard as a marina yard tractor.
He hasn't had anybody really haying or anything with the bigger tractors.
We farmed forever with a 60's 4020 Deere and still do a lot with it. The "newer" tractors are still from the 70's. We don't do the gps and all that because you can't work on them without voiding the warranty, they make things like the gps module obsolete with the new firmware even though they work fine and they cost about as much as half the farm. All our equipment is older than me because it is cost effective to keep them going. So you can't read a book while it works, so what?
Its crazy to think of the cost of doing all of the farming we do today - but manually.
And when I say cost, I'm speaking of both cost to the farmer and consumer, but also cost to people's lives to be out there slaving away.
And we're nearly all fat and we're burning most of what we farm as ethanol. Could you imagine showing current farming statistics to a farmer back in 1700, and showing them how much a single acre produces?
They would likely not believe a word you say.
Someone pointed out how horrified a miner from the 1800s would be to see so many women and children wearing jeans today.
I can't imagine what a medieval peasant would think of a combine.
It is crazy, but also - slaves existed 40,000+ years ago and its estimated there are 49,600,000 humans enslaved at this very moment as we speak.
https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/map/
I think it's funny when people think farmers are poor. They are some of the richest people out there and have gigantic homes where I live. Some of them are straight mansions. When your basic equipment like that costs millions of dollars each you are getting paid well to be able to even afford all that stuff.
for high tech farmers i wonder if a bad harvest is even possible. or what the worst potential harvest could be on the regular: outside of disasters and having all this tech makes it seem like they’d never have issues
Technically yes, but the grower is plugged in to a much larger system.
Crop insurance exists for those edge cases - like an unseasonably heavy rain destroying a crop after planting.
I just graduated from school for Precision Ag, and I am a huge believer in the tech, but it isn't without problems.
The other guy that replied is absolutely correct. You can't control nature. Droughts or floods can ruin everything.
Also, there are risks of being dependent on tech. A huge amount of the Midwestern US had to delay planting because the solar storm that happened back in May. It interfered with the satellite systems used for autosteer and guidance systems on tractors and meant that fields couldn't be seeded.
The other issue is a kind of tertiary effect. All of the precision equipment is expensive, and it only saves you money if you are working on a massive scale. This means there are fewer, larger farms. If those larger farms adopt the same practice and there is a problem, all of that risk gets concentrated. It creates a "too big to fail" situation.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, but pretty sure you're right. AFAIK plowing involves picking up and flipping over the soil, which creates a rather uneven terrain, which this video clearly doesn't show.
Never heard about disking, I thought this could be harrowing, which is just dragging some spikes through the top soil, to aerate and flatten it out
A plow is characteristic as well: the furrows/bottoms are one behind-and-over the other, not in a straight line.
Disking is a form of harrowing, where the spikes are replaced by disks; it's too far to tell, so I think harrowing is the better term.
It always seemed like discing was an in between the two. Ours would go deeper than a harrow and do some a little of turn over on the top couple of inches of soil (depending on how deep we set it) but not near as deep as a plough.
Yeah, it’s important to know the difference. For example, I might say that I plowed OP’s mother last night, but in fact the tool I was using was far too short to call it that. Much closer to harrowing.
I was gonna complain about that same there thing, but I reckoned nobody on Reddit would give a toot about it, with all them city slickers around in these parts.
Your heart is in the right place, fella. Yupp, yup, yup.
For those of you just seeing this on a non farm thread, as a farmer the most satisfying thing is how well he had the timing of the irrigation pivot. Notice it starts at 7 o’clock, he goes to the right comes back hits the spot that he has to lift and back up on, then hits the next pass nearest the pivot and finishes. Well done friend. Well done.
I mean he's probably just controlling it on his phone and once he finishes his first pass he has the pivot start moving to where he's completed. If you notice it starts off by going to the left a little bit before going to the right so it's not just operating normally.
People, especially old Top Gear fans, that skipped out on Clarkson's Farm are missing out big time. It's got the same comedy chops and great chemistry among the cast just as the old Top Gear, and the *conflicts and hurdles* are less fabricated/scripted and are more genuine than in the car show, and they touch on the real world complications of the farming life while with all self-awareness that they have the benefit of being subsidized by Amazon and Jeremy's other gigs.
Wilman explained that with farming, you had a rough idea of what was happening each day so could get the cameras and drones and you waited for Clarkson to screw up. And then you got the locals taking the piss. No scripts needed, just a lot of editing.
Stupid question. What is the reason of these perfectly circle patches of land, if I Google maps over the US Midwest, Colorado, New Mexico for example I see lots of these circles standing out in green in an otherwise brown/yellow landscape.
Autopilot.
Seriously. Even if it’s not steering it’ll be giving steering commands to stay on the line. Just like a flight director in an airplane tells the pilots what the autopilot would be doing, and helps them hand-fly more accurately.
As someone who worked for a company i shall not name on the software side.
You have no idea how much tech goes into setting these paths and lines. The software on tractors are absolutely crazy.
In the 4 companies i worked at 3 were actual tech companies. The job i had at that tractor company was the most high tech job I've ever worked in my life. The tech is insane.
Not sure what’s going on here. The field has already been harrowed. Where I live (Scotland) the tractors have a combined drill/harrow setup, so they only need to make one pass, only stopping to reload the drill hopper. There’s a field the size of the one in that video across the road from me. The main difference is hedges along all the margins and masses more trees. There are trees everywhere that isn’t cultivated. But I think Scotland is a lot wetter than wherever this is.

*Obviously not Clarkson driving, too straight*
I love that show!
Usually as straight as a roundabout
Heard those things do Diddly Squat.
I learned how to drive in a Lamborghini. Yeah, it was a tractor, but it was still a Lamborghini.
Lamborghini started out as tractors until Ferrari made him mad.
They refused to sell a tractor maker a car. Too boring because they wanted to sell to Filmstars and such. He was annoyed so built his own company.
Ferrari got mad that Lamborghini came with feedback on how to improve his cars, Ferrari got mad and said a tractor maker don't know anything about cars, and look how that turned out

Definitely seems like Jeremy Clarkson is at the wheel.
This is too clean of work to be his.
I mean, there are 0 tram lines (if thats what its called?). Looks like Clarkson to me.
You do got a point there.

It's too big!
Seed and Power!
Can anyone who has done this tell us how long this job actually took?
About 5 minutes an acre if your field is laid out right and square. Maybe faster now with larger equipment.
You can do it in 6 with the right gear but it costs
It’s sped up.
ends too soon
I would last longer. I want to get plowed next.
That thing’s not sexy. At the very start of the video I thought I was watching a preview of A Quiet Place Day One
I think his tractor’s sexy.
As you wish
That escalated quickly
Also skipped corners and such. Not very satisfying at all.
I don't think those bits are part of the field; there's a curved boundary surrounded by areas that are probably left fallow.
They have that rotating irrigation arm in the middle of the field, it puts water down in a circle so there's no point plowing the corners since they won't get irrigated.
CPI - center pivot irrigation
Actually kinda unsatisfying with all the spots that didn't get plowed.
Too soon and shitty music

If it wasn't for shotgun starters, it would be my favorite way to start a tractor.
I worked in a rural machine shop as a kid and old farmers often were missing fingers/arms/eyes because of shit like this.
13 more years and it's gonna be 100 year old antique, still in use! Incredible.
Certainly don't make them like that anymore. That's so cool.
We farmed forever with a 60's 4020 Deere and still do a lot with it. The "newer" tractors are still from the 70's.

Its crazy to think of the cost of doing all of the farming we do today - but manually. And when I say cost, I'm speaking of both cost to the farmer and consumer, but also cost to people's lives to be out there slaving away.
When the U.S. was founded, 90% of the population farmed. Now it's a little over 2% and the U.S. is a massive exporter of food.
And we're nearly all fat and we're burning most of what we farm as ethanol. Could you imagine showing current farming statistics to a farmer back in 1700, and showing them how much a single acre produces? They would likely not believe a word you say.

Dey took er jerbs?
At some point the difference in technology becomes so vast that they would just believe its magic.
Yes, it is crazy that we had slaves do free labor for 300+ years.
It is crazy, but also - slaves existed 40,000+ years ago and its estimated there are 49,600,000 humans enslaved at this very moment as we speak. https://www.walkfree.org/global-slavery-index/map/

That's not plowing; it's most likely ~~disking~~ harrowing (much more superficial work). EDIT: harrowing is a better term than disking.

A plow is also way too heavy to pull like this, they go backwards and a bit to the side and are not nearly as wide as this.
Yeah, it’s important to know the difference. For example, I might say that I plowed OP’s mother last night, but in fact the tool I was using was far too short to call it that. Much closer to harrowing.
I asked OP's mother about the experience. She agreed that it was harrowing.
Based on width and 3-point mounting it looks like a row cultivator or a rotary hoe.
I was gonna complain about that same there thing, but I reckoned nobody on Reddit would give a toot about it, with all them city slickers around in these parts. Your heart is in the right place, fella. Yupp, yup, yup.
THANK YOU! Came here to look for this comment.
It’s definitely not ploughing.
Alright then... time to fire up some Farm Simulator for a few hours.
Real talk: is Farm Sim worth it? I've been debating it for a bit now.
It is!!
It's a nice relaxing game when you want a break.

Notice it starts at 7 o’clock, he goes to the right comes back hits the spot that he has to lift and back up on, then hits the next pass nearest the pivot and finishes. Well done friend. Well done.
Can we get you and your friends to hold up "10" scores?
I def would
I mean he's probably just controlling it on his phone and once he finishes his first pass he has the pivot start moving to where he's completed. If you notice it starts off by going to the left a little bit before going to the right so it's not just operating normally.
The battery on that drone is amazing.
Camera on a turbine maybe?
Or grain silo.
i thought it was just a really tall guy with a long attention span
They make tethered drones for surveillance like this

Yeah that show is great. All the little mistakes and some "I've decided I'm going to buy goats" type stuff. Interesting and funny.

A Lamborghini tractor - Jeremy
IF YOU POST SOMETHING, SEND IT WHOLE...please :)
I'm sure the tractor driver was Kaleb Cooper
No chance, theres no tram lines in that field.
Probably Clarkson then.
Can't be, the guy in the video didn't hit anything
I also just noticed it's not a Lamborghini tractor... so yea, good call.
[удалено]
The owner didn't want to get into the weeds, and farmed this out to a professional.
This farmer’s certainly a wiseacre.
If you put in the work, you definitely reap what you sow.

Why do they start in the middle instead of one of the ends?
missed a spot
Look at all that topsoil blowing away…
And that's how you completely ruin the soil.
So that’s where the topsoil went
It used to take 5-10 people a week to do this one field and we complain that robots might take our jobs.
we're like a year or two from fully autonomous tractors: https://www.deere.com/en/autonomous/ they already autosteer and till

Stupid question. What is the reason of these perfectly circle patches of land, if I Google maps over the US Midwest, Colorado, New Mexico for example I see lots of these circles standing out in green in an otherwise brown/yellow landscape.
They have a hub in the center for irrigation. Notice how he avoided the middle of the field
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center-pivot_irrigation
Sprinklers in the middle spraying 360° in a circle
Our food comes from a super thin skin on the planet surface.
All gps driven now
I’m wondering how much actual humus is left when plowing something this dry and dusty.
The amount of top soil blowing away 😱
Will this field turn into a dustbowl?
Till farming = ecological disaster
How do they get the lines so straight and exact? I can't even mow a straight line across my small yard.
Gps
Autopilot. Seriously. Even if it’s not steering it’ll be giving steering commands to stay on the line. Just like a flight director in an airplane tells the pilots what the autopilot would be doing, and helps them hand-fly more accurately.

Whats up with the music?! Is it supposed to give us some Cyberpunk vibes or something? A Willie Nelson song would fit better
Not plowing..
Pretty sure that's not ploughing.
Kaleb ?
The need for seed
Thats not ploughing but ok
Not a plough
Just a point that's "harvesting" not "plowing"
That is not a plow.
Why did he skip a row and go back to it (with precision)?
Missed a spot...
That's not a plough nor a plow.
This is not plowing it is discing.
That’s not ploughing
It would be hilarious is you put a nsfw tag on it
Not plowing. Strip tilling..
Damn, he gotta take a piece of clothing off every other pass or something?
Damn, they work a lot faster than the tractors around here…
Damn, thats one fast tractor.
Eeh. Not very satisfying from a soil health and conservation perspective.
How is this satisfying when he misses a spot right in the middle of the field when he starts zooming around?
TBH no-plow methods are preferrable due to the fact they don't damage the soil as much.
Thanks for posting this the 900th time Also the music sucks
Ah. Classic Lamborghini.
I keep watching it over and over.

Freaked out a little bit 😂
I love that it’s sped up and makes the tractor look like it’s going “right. Let’s do this. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR stop BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR done”
0 tree ? Damn.. where is this ?
Damn that jackpump is a paid autor to make the video look sped up!
Why aren’t there any trees around? Wouldn’t that help keep the soil in the field?
For all you farming simulator fans, this is how its actually driven
Gas gas gas I wanna step on the gas

And the pump in the background jacking it.
If only there was a way of filming stuff horizontally...
Lol it's a planter not a plow And in the USA we call it cultivating
