This project about how to plow and till a big vegetable garden area that’s never been plowed before is another one we collaborated on with Jeremy and Corie Unruh. They’d reached out to us at Tips Notebook because they knew we wanted people to send us their project ideas. And this is another great one to share.

nice will be very useful to people like your prouducts
Would have been a lot easier to spray it to desiccate it 10-14 days prior to tilling, sod would have broke up way better.
Friend apparently you've not done much plowing you start in the middle after you've made your first pass you turn the tractor around and drive over the dirt that you just turned over and you have to Farrell's this makes a crayon or a high spot in the middle for drainage it's called back Landing that is the correct way to play all to keep from having a low spot in the center or to one side of your garden
Plowing is best achieved with no coulter, a plow that isn't shined up, no wheel weights and muddy field conditions. This video is hilarious.
It would’ve been better to spread the amendment over the plowed field just prior to tilling . Overworking the soil leads to complete obliteration of the soil structure and mass murder of any and all soil micro and macro biota. The ideal thing is to no till plant directly into the sod.Using cardboard and newspaper and leaving it on the grass for a few weeks will kill it and then you can plant into the dirt underneath or you can use black plastic to solarized the grass and kill it that way. Do you want to leave the soil life and the soil structure intact by not plowing and inverting the soil and not tilling and not using toxic herbicides
When you work soil when it is wet. Your crop won't turn out very good.
Nice job. Thanks John Deere 🙂
Might want to get the pto shaft that is hanging down in the thumb nail hooked up.
That plowing job looked terrible!
I am a farmer and that soil looks amazing
Hi Tom Elliott I am hoping that you can help me can you get different sizes/width rims for a 1025r
I don't know how to say this without beeing rude, but man that plow is an extremely bad piece of junk! Go see what Kverneland plows does and you'll see the difference.
I would suggest you draw your top link in some.
Can you till in a square or do you have to stop the machine each time and start a new row
Reading the comments was hilarious.
Ever wander why the older John Deere tractors are so valuable? After you watch this video using or trying to use a new overseas made tractor with John Deere decals on it, you realize this video is made to sell equipment to people that don't know any better. Remember this : the BEAN COUNTERS destroyed the General Electric company, and it looks like they've moved to this company and started their work again. Plastic hood, no draft control, no wheel spacing's, and very over priced. I will stick to my 60 and 70's year John Deere tractors made in the USA. BTW, where will these new tractors be in 40 years? The answer- recycled!!
Anyone know what is different between 1149 and 3049 tillers?
Pretty level surface that one. No challenge! Never been planted or used before by current owner…..I suppose
Do I need to plow on soft ground?
Now time for me to make stuff to put behind a small riding mower because I’m broke 😂
i would hate to try and plant in that garden. It so full of clods it would be a pain to work with. That’s what happens when you work the land too wet. If you want to see what a good garden looks like I will show what I do with my 1025r.
Great video!
You didn't have your plow set correctly the back shoe needs to be down and level horrible job
We use a jd 4052 r and a tiller. We have 10 acres of organic gardens. John deere should sponsor us. Joys with the boys homestead.
You don't need to plow to garden loooooool
The machine is so heavy that would probably compact the soil. I think it's bad to do this. It would need chemical fertilizers to keep feeding the plants with minerals. The soil will lose its vitality and self-generation ability because it destroys the soil microbes by tilling the soil and letting it bake and dry up in the sun. Typical practice in modern agriculture.
Never have gloves on taking off or putting on the P.T.O
