The glass 'splices' (upper and lower side panes have a rubber H shaped strip installed between them, I believe to mitigate and potential failure from any flex in the cab structure. If the glued in glass contacts another pane, one will fail. One issue with glued in versus rubber floating is fitment. The pane has to fit correctly in the channel or it's failure time as well. The pane cannot contact the metal frame anywhere, which is why you never want to buy aftermarket, always OEM at the high dollar price. Kind of reminds me of the newer radiators with their plastic upper and lower tanks 'Sonically' welded to the cores. Gone are the days of getting a radiator recored as most radiator shops cannot reinstall the expansion tanks, don't have the proper equipment to do it. Sometimes improving a component means replacement of a like component instead of rebuilding it.

Great video!!!! I'm always amazed how much things are different in different areas. I've never saw a plow like that. I shared it with my large farmer friends here in Missouri. Mile long rows, WTH!!!!

Things are big here, like this ranch that is bigger than Rhode Island.

One Ranch in Texas is Bigger Than the Entire State of Rhode Island

When they say everything is bigger in Texas, it's true. A man by the name of Captain Richard King purchased 825,000 acres of land in South Texas in the year 1853, making it larger than the entire state of Rhode Island. The Ranch is MASSIVE. Rhode Island is only 776,957 acres, nearly 50,000 acres...

I wonder, what would be the average Soy Bean yield in the field that he's plowing? How about corn yield?

How about cotton, since it was a cotton field.

I was told by a farmer in Lubbock that he averages 2.5 to 3 bales of cotton to the acre. Looking over their fields a couple years ago it look like they would be lucky to get a bale to the acre. But I never raised stripper cotton like they do. We always had tall cotton.

Some of the farmers out there do sunflowers. That is something I never did either but it sure is pretty looking over the huge fields of sunflowers.

I looked at some of his other videos where they were stripping cotton. He wasn't doing well in some fields; they looked skraggly and he said not enough water. The better field the yield was mid 3/acre and went up to almost 5 at times.

Several years ago we had a very bad snow storm. Country folks were stranded. I spent days/nights in the grader. Catching naps in the cab. I was not very happy.....

When you say "grader" are you talking about one of these?

Once the town used it on the 4 lane highway when the ice built up to 2+" (back in 96-97) but that's the only time I've seen it for snow use.

Whooppss, got me, I thought it was bean stubble. Okay, tell us cotton yield. Thanks for the correction!!!

I naively ask for clarification? Not knowing anything about cotton. What would be the highest yield? What would be the lowest? Thanks!!!!
