blue sky that means we got a rock and roll hey everybody it's Ryan welcome
back to how farms work the weather is clear and you know what that means it's
time to rock and roll we are going to take the 46 40 and the chisel plow to my
25 acres that is going into oats and alfalfa so that's all we really have
left to seed down as far as oats and alfalfa goes so we're gonna go chisel plow
that down right now it's stripped and we're gonna put it all into hay so I got
to go out there and chisel plow everything up we got a new auto system
auto steer system in the 46 40 we're gonna head out there I'm gonna show you
guys that it's pretty cool this summer I'm planning on putting it
and possibly the either the 40 20 or the 7600 to do some of those more common
tasks around the farm like for hay and stuff like that so it should be a good
time anyway will you say we head out here you're looking at the wheelman Pro
I'll show you guys a little bit more about it in depth once we get going
let's go ahead and start the 46 up get a move on
I just got to the field I'm trying to figure out the lay of it and how I'm
gonna chisel this what I think I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a pass or two along
the outside boundary just so that way I kind of have a feel for it because it's
kind of in a L shape and I'm actually sure how I'm gonna go about this I'm
probably gonna do some this way and then the long passes are that way so it might
be better just to start going this way at first do this little section and then
start working my way going the other direction
I'm actually sure I gotta figure out how I'm gonna do this
there is some hay on this ground what we decided to do was chisel at all and then
just reseat what is in hay back down to hay and oats and if it doesn't take
because it's a bio toxicity then we might just come through and do it again
next year there really isn't all that much meat on
this ground the fence line or the border line to the plant is right up to that
tree behind me I'm gonna do a pass around the outside
of the field or two and then I'm probably just going to go from there and
then worry about setting up a wheelman for the auto steer
now it's time to set up the wheelman bro here's the unit we're gonna go ahead and
push this button to turn it on
we have a toggle switch over here I'm gonna flip on
now the unit is initializing to give you guys a quick overview on the wheelman
before I set it up this is a lower-cost auto steering system that does not
require the purchase of a separate monitor so without requiring that
separate purchase of the monitor it really saves on cost and you can just
use a phone or a tablet to use with the system today we're going to be using the
world app which is in conjunction with adjunction which makes in the wheelman
and we're gonna go ahead and set up our a beeline what I'm thinking is I want to
do a straight line across the field because we're gonna be ripping up the
contours anyway so I'm gonna go ahead and set up the unit to reuse with the
chisel plow now I'm pretty sure the chisel plow is about 11 feet I might
have to do some adjustments on there unfortunately I did not adjust that or
measure it when I had left but I don't think it should be too bad setting up
so here we go I already set up the field task now what I got to do is head over
to here you can set up either a straight line or a contour we're going to do a
straight line set a beeline this is gonna be our point a I'm gonna drive to
the other end of the field and I'm going to set my point B line that should allow
us to come back on our next pass and go ahead and just go from there and work
down the field
I'm gonna go ahead and set point B unfortunately I messed up and I didn't
finish my AV line I just started turning so I'm gonna hit the set point a tear
point B that should give us a good line to go off of so I'm gonna spin around
and start using the auto steer
so far so good
that nice straight line and a field back and the other side of
it just because my previous masters are screen
then right there shows you the difference between having an auto
steering system what it can save you and
i'ma just kick back in her Lance
I will get that I've used the steering systems and
now they have that movie
that's been perfect like a dime
so I just turned off my phone I want to see how
without using my phone after I'd already set everything up so I want to say see
battery or whatever we're trying to do that
and takes over don't even have to keep your cool
you can see our first pass
before I turned on the wheelman
as you can see here we are on our path
essentially all these lights do or tell you the status symbols so where we are
right now we're on track here's the a/b buttons for setting your a and B lines
there's a straight light to tell you that you're creating a straight line
versus contours that is pretty well in how to run one of these things it's
pretty straightforward
now we're done with chisel following this spring I just finished this 25 acre
hay field of mine now we're gonna come through with the 82 and the V T we're
gonna smooth it off as much as we can to get rid it to get rid of as many bridges
as possible because when we come through with the hay vine we don't want there to
be any bridges that will it make the hay buy and eat any dirt so after we're done
with that we're gonna come through with the 40 20 and the seed drill and seat it
down with oats and alfalfa now that I've got my first 25 acres down with Wheelmen
Pro I forgot to share my early feelings on it and they're overwhelmingly
positive this unit is very straightforward and it
doesn't really take much to get up and going I was kind of shocked by how
accurate this thing was and it says I think I would say that it was within 5
inches most of the time which is about expected or it should be within but I've
dealt with several other units that were based on wasps in the past which is like
less accurate form of RTK it's just like less accurate form of auto guidance and
those students that I've used in the past one of which was equipped on that
new Holland that we used a couple years ago was that it seems like this one was
a lot a lot more accurate than those work there's a lot less play and looking
at the drone pictures of the field I would say that it did a pretty good job
in staying on track and with the world app it's actually
smarter because as you're going along and you're going on new passes it's
always just kind of fixing your position if you go off and you start a completely
different path that's supposed to be on the same line what you'll have happen is
that it may not be perfectly accurate and you come down and narrow up your
passes and close the roll but with this what I notice is that if
you stay on your line just continuously it's pretty well break down to where it
needs to be I'm really satisfied with the job that it did today and I'm
looking forward to using it for the rest of the summer quick thank you to
wheelman or AG Junction for sponsoring this video and yeah I'm gonna head out
and move on to greener pastures and prepare the next video for you guys so
with that thanks for watching this video be sure to check out all the other ones
that we have on our channel be sure to LIKE comment and subscribe and be sure
to check us out on Facebook Instagram Twitter and snapchat know how farmers
work if you guys are interested in one of these unit units go down into the
description I'll have a link to where you guys can check out more info on them
I highly encourage you to do so they're pretty good from what I've used it so
far so with that thanks for watching
