00:00I
00:30Good morning! This is the start to my million dollar machine vlog for the day, okay? So if you want like the specs and all the things, like the full walk around, all that, I've got a video up about that.
00:48But this is just going to be a video vlogging the experience of operating this thing and just talking about how freaking cool this is, okay? But we're almost in the field so I'm going to turn it in and I guess we'll get this set up to start planting.
01:05Okay, so a huge, huge part of this tractor is that it's a quad track, okay? Which means it has four separate tracks. There are no like tires on this thing, okay?
01:23However, the second, or maybe it's the first, I don't know, it depends on what you really care about.
01:29Part about this tractor that is so, so, super cool and absolutely brand new is these big black things, okay? It's on either side.
01:36Someone said they look like a cape. It's called an integrated tank system.
01:41So if you remember on our John Deere, we have to put on those Demco big yellow tanks on the side of ours to hold our starter, our 32%, our 1034.
01:50On this tractor, you don't have to hook up anything extra. These tanks are on there permanently.
01:57Right now, Grant, oh, got to move my stand here. Right now, Grant is filling up on a front fill, okay?
02:08This tractor has a fill right here. Hook it up with a little banjo and boom, good sight. You're filling up with a fertilizer.
02:17How are we?
02:19How are we?
02:21These tanks are 500 gallons a piece, so 1,000 gallons in total.
02:51Now that we have the planter all unfolded, Grant is bringing around the gravity wagon, the
03:13seed tender, the thing that has all the seed in it, so we're going to pull it up and load
03:18some extra seed in for today.
03:20All right, so all we're going to do is just walk up these steps in the back here, and we're
03:30going to start with this one, so give it a little turn, and off comes the lid.
03:40Oh, that just smacked my knee.
03:42Ouchie.
03:43Okay, there's the seed.
03:45We're just going to fill it up with some more.
03:47That lid hit my knee so hard.
03:50Close?
03:51Yeah, pretty close.
03:52Lower it down a little bit.
03:57There we go.
03:58Yeah, you're good.
03:59You're good.
04:00Keep coming.
04:01Keep coming.
04:02Keep coming.
04:03Keep coming.
04:04You may be wondering why the seed is weak.
04:09Not because it's treated with a special coating to protect it from cold and bugs and help give
04:16it a good start, good start, good life.
04:37That's what I'm putting in here.
04:38This is calve or graphite, and it just helps the seeds flow a lot smoother so that they don't
04:48This stuff that I'm putting in here, this is calve or graphite and it just helps the
04:58seeds flow a lot smoother so that they don't get stuck anywhere.
05:18So, I just hopped on the back of the road.
05:46So, I just hopped on the back real quick here.
05:49I don't know if I'm really supposed to do this, but it gives me such a cool view.
05:55Look on this side.
05:58There's Grant.
05:59Look on this side.
06:01Got a nice little handle here for when we stop.
06:05This is awesome.
06:10Here's a little side view of the tractor turning around.
06:14The tracks are so cool.
06:17Okay.
06:18So, this is me actually planting in the 8RX.
06:24Big fancy planter combo out there.
06:25Super, super simple to run.
06:27All you have to do is throttle up, put yourself in gear.
06:37All I've got is getting in.
06:40Okay.
06:41Okay, so this is me actually planting in the 8RX, big fancy planter combo out there.
06:50Super, super simple to run.
06:52All you have to do is throttle up, put yourself in gear, hit your auto steer button, put your implement down.
07:01And then when you start off, this F1 is what we call it pretty much, just the number one setting.
07:07We make this your turnaround speed, so it's like four-ish miles an hour.
07:10And then up here in this F2, or just the two setting, this is your actual, going down the road speed.
07:17Right now we're going eight miles an hour, and it's working great.
07:22So when we start going on obstacles, like this pivot point and this big draw on this fence line here, I just let Grant drive.
07:31He's kind of an expert with a clutch, and it just, it makes everybody's life a lot easier.
07:37All right, it is a true high-speed planter.
07:43We are going 10.2 miles an hour right now.
07:46And look at the stats on this thing.
07:50I mean, that's, that's pretty impressive.
07:53Grant and I have officially run ourselves out of fertilizer, which I know it may seem hard to believe, considering there's not one, not two, but three tanks.
08:07But we're going to call it quits for today, although it is such a gorgeous day.
08:11I just wanted to give one last thank you to Acre's Equipment for making this demo possible.
08:16Grant and I had so much fun testing out this machine and seeing what it could do.
08:22Oh, so fun.
08:23I just love trying out equipment like this for you guys.
08:26Would you like to see more demos?
08:29Let me know what you'd like to see me demo, and we'll try and get something else out here for you guys.
08:37Also, happy one-year anniversary, you guys.
08:41Wow.
08:41One whole year of Laura Farms.
08:43That's just, it's pretty incredible.
08:46Thank you guys for making this journey as fun as it has been.
08:50It's truly, it would not be possible without you guys watching my videos, subscribing, liking, commenting, buying my shirts.
08:58I just really, really appreciate and love you guys more than you know.
09:01So, thanks for being my internet family.
09:04Love you guys.
09:04See you later.
09:05See you later.
