How do the tractors with LSW tires do in muck like that? Better, worse, same? I remember the 70’s and the guy we hired to combine for us with his IH 915. With the small tires on it that machine got stuck if you just sneezed on the ground. IH put tires on it the same size as on a 40hp tractor that weighed 1/5th as much. What were they thinking?
All these people saying why not wait until its dry!! It won't get drier! This is a salvage job, either try your best to cut it now, or leave it rot. Wet weather is not foreseen when the maize is planted, you have to make the best of a bad situation.
Never seen CORN being grown on such a watered soil, as a matter of fact, one of the advantages of this crop it's not being needy of as much irrigation as others......at least the one being grown in the USA. Maybe the Netherlands have another water intensive variety ? P.S: I'm not anywhere being a farmer, don't have a friggin clue as to grow anything, if I had plastic flowers in my place it would die too.
I honestly don´t understand why there are so many ignorant people in the comment section here??? First of all: Do you think those people in the video are deliberately destroying the soil and getting stuck in the field because they think it´s fun? If you are a farmer with some years of experience, you know that from time to time there are seasons that are - from a weather-related point of view - just terrible and very unusual. Either you have conditions like 2018 - where (in this area) it almost hasn´t rained since the month of May and all the crop is getting "burned" and dried away by the sun - and on the other side you have seasons like 2017
