Hello and welcome back to the show. This is episode number 174, and in this episode, we are going to be

talking about tillage. But more specifically, we're going to discuss some updates to our 2680H high

performance disc. Every day, there are phenomenal advancements happening in the field of agriculture technology.

The team at Ardeo Equipment Company, along with respected, knowledgeable industry experts, are here to bring you the latest in ag tech news, information, and products that help today's growers solve challenges.

With that, let's dive into the show.

As I said, we are going to talk about tillage.

We're going to discuss some of the updates with the 2680H.

So those of you who are unfamiliar with the 2680H, this is John Deere's high performance disc.

Some may refer to it as a compact disc or a high speed disc.

There's a number of them out there on the market.

The 2680H is the John Deere offering on that platform. Now, this tool can come in various widths.

We get it from, I believe, 8 feet all the way up to 45 feet. So it kind of fits every, every operation

out there. Now, one thing to keep in mind, this tool takes horsepower.

So we talk about high performance disk or high speed disk.

We want to be running this at 14, up to, I should say, up to 14 miles an hour.

The recommended starting point for horsepower is going to be about 15 horse per foot of tool.

So that being said, wider tool is going to take a lot of horsepower, and that's all dependent

on what your topography is like.

If you've got a lot of rolling hills, if you've got heavy soil types, if you got light soil types,

each one is just a little bit or each situation is going to be a little bit different.

But do not, if you are looking at one of these, whether it is the John Deere 2680H or it is one of the competitors out there on the market,

do not oversize the tool for your operation.
