Cool, you mean this one ? trekkeronline.nl/2020/08/canadese-graanteler-stelt-zelfrijdende-spuitmachines-zwaar-op-de-proef/ "De 34-jarige Mike Mitchell komt eerst een beetje druk over, maar daar wen je snel aan door zijn oprechtheid en verstand van zaken. Hij is uit het juiste boerenhout gesneden." "The 34-year old Mike Mitchell seems a bit hyperactive at first, but one gets used to that quickly because of his honesty and know-how. He's a right chip of the old (farmer's) block." Seems about right :D
For everyone that doesn't know, The 1167 has 670 hp, but only pulls like a 1162 with 620 hp. The extra 50 horsepower on top is reserved for hydraulics. So for example, if you were pulling a big air seeder like Mike has, that extra 50 horsepower would help to run the hydraulic fans that push the product from the cart to the drill.
She looks pricey, but she looks like she belongs on your farm Mike. Would love to see this beautiful machine added to your stable, but I understand that money doesn't grow on trees and there's some incredible financials that need to occur to make that happen. What a machine 😍
Mike, after multiple 48 hr, shifts expecting your words to make language is alittle much,... I'm just pleased to see you upright and taking liquid!!?.. aye???
That MAN engine has a very healthy growl to its exhaust note… sounds almost like it’s not fully released from its cage… someone clever with a laptop might fix that for you :)
@@mateusz7850 According to my search on DEF, the experts claim that being it is injected into the exhaust system the engine can be dialed to whatever HP the mfg. wants it to be. The biggest bug-a-boo is that to play with the HP and Torque output requires dealer computer programs (frowned upon) or bootleg computer programs (mfg companies suing to prevent them). Today, non-mfg parts are targets for company lawyers. As the head of Apple is saying, there needs to be a law that allows people to repair their own phones and equipment.
@@bigun447 and then there’s companies like John Deere filing lawsuits against farmers and private ag mechanics saying they’re not qualified to work on their equipment shows how much Deere cares about their customers they’re only worried about money especially after they had to pay out case after they lost in a court battle for copying patents from the case quad track lol
Awesome video, Mike! Love Fendt tractors. Fendt seems to be the cream of the crop in many ways, but the sound systems do leave a lot to be desired. They should partner with an audio company like Bose to put a great sound system in.
The Fendt 2 track seems to have some pretty good power to her, and it looks good to boot. I was pretty impressed by how well it floated in the mud and was able to pull you through.
Excellent Video Really enjoyed watching your videos everyday please continue to do a great job with explaining everything around the farm Thanks for sharing your video with us and looking forward to the next one thanks again and hope you have a great day!
Mike!! My man as much as I love the consistency of videos and video quality we’re getting I can’t help but feel concerned about your health, don’t go getting sick on us now you hear 😂
Good grief the fendt almost got to 14 mph at one point. Also I noticed that it has like a little bit in the big wheel in the back that is probably there to get all the dirt out of the wheel so that it doesn't scratch up all the paint which is a handy feature.
How odd, seeing the wheels turning the rightway and the track going backwards, then as you pulled ahead, the track was going the rightway like the wheels! All an optical confusion I know. Happens in machine shop vids too, chuck going one way, work piece going the other! Neat!!
Wow the 1167 is pulling faster than i thought I wonder if the 4track JD is gonna stand a chance against this beast, surely the 2trac JD will take number 3 and 1050 number 4 Well thats just my guess, i might be wrong 😂😂
I actually think that 4 track is going + 1 mile/h faster and 2 track -0.5mile/h slower than this one. Vario powerloss :). It will be nice to see if agco figured it out.
@@delbutler885 1167 pulls like a 1162. The extra 50 horsepower on the 1167 goes towards hydraulic controls for like an air seeder. So by horsepower, it should be a dead heat between the 4 track and 2 track, with maybe an advantage to the 2 track since it's not using power for 2 additional tracks
If you look at how they work seeding the only real comparison is between the 1167 and the 4 track. But that 560 must pull pretty good because it hasn't been swapped out yet.
@@stanleyjones4180 we're also hoping. I live 20 km east west of the start of damaged region. We're kinda surrounded from the west to the north. 100k people without electricity, 110 died and still over a thousand missing. Parts of my family who've time are in the region to help, clean up and rebuild. We're hoping for some dryer weather otherwise potato, apple and grain harvests will be gone like the cherry harvest we've already lost.
@@stanleyjones4180 death count in west German now over 150. East Germany got hit yesterday, Multiple villages destroyed, right now waiting for more Information. Austria got hit yesterday to. Also waiting for more informations. West Germany still 100k without electricity gas or anything else. Bridges in which underneath the pavement gas pipes were, are destroyed, Many villages won't have gas to heat for the winter.. but all of the severely damaged houses won't be rescued before winter. And up to 80% are severely damaged
Just a heads up but by pressing that button in the TMS menu you effectively capped the rpm of the tractor at 1400 rpm. You idled her up right after though so it didnt really matter
Flipping crazy... I drove a big Steiger (Ford) and Internationals in the 80s (high school jobs). This literally requires almost no skill level at all. But great video!
Deere is an old and established company. They enjoy such a advantage in the ag machinery world that they do not have to be as accommodating. AGCO is young and has to work harder.
Fendt was founded in 1930, as total revenue in tractors, I would think AGCO is bigger than the John Deere tractor devision. And Massey Ferguson is as old as John Deere. So nothing young about the AGCO brands.
@@Stigsens1 Deere is roughly 4 times the size of agco but that's only total revenue $9bil in comparison to $39bil. Ive always ran Deere but with these modern work horses I think it really depends on what colour and cab you like as they all do the job. Personally I just can't get on with that fendt armrest.
@@chester1507 Have you tried one? Just need to take the time to learn and it's actually pretty simple. Also, Fendt One armrest is coming out in most of the tractors now.
@@FendtMF yeah I have I led slurry and silage with a 828, just didn't feel as fluid and easy to use as the Deere. Though a decade of the Deere cabs and armrests with the colour pallet, the arrangement of the controls etc. They just work better for me and the cabs are certainly my preference
Love this channel but I worry about the level of fatigue Mike is experiencing. I operate large equipment and this is a bad combination. These levels of fatigue are equivalent to being legally drunk when it comes to motor function. Wish Mike had a much better sleep work balance.
@@OOpSjm lol kinda like claas combines against Deere they also have be designated a threat sad part is the Deere machine is not even on the same playing field for small grains
If that soil/clay is capable of taking a crop, I would consider digging some large pits for the water to drain into, to allow the land to be dry enough for seeding, and then in fall, pump out any remaining water for the next year.
Not likely. They own so much land, there’s no reason to do anything but seed, spray, and harvest. They only pro-till heavy weed areas, or patches that start on fire.
@@beaviccoon470 they would have been muddy on the first of June but twenty days of 30 C heat would dry them up. The hard pan would disappear and dry up those sloughs for farming through those areas

Ashtyn could bring the 1050 to the field to pull the 1167 in the event that you get stuck.
Triples pulling 2 Track would make a great video
At 14:46 , you should put TMS rpms to max, it would pull then alot better!

Fendt did good hitch is a great idea.

It's throwing a code, edc? Sounded like a Nervous chuckle, code went away, another nervous chuckle.
Let it blow💨
Get a sump and some drains put in that field should dry it out and be able to actually seed on it
If that soil/clay is capable of taking a crop, I would consider digging some large pits for the water to drain into, to allow the land to be dry enough for seeding, and then in fall, pump out any remaining water for the next year.
They could do that but because of how massive everything on their farm is it would take ages to do all of that.
I don't think planting an extra 60 acres is worth it on a farm thee size of Mikes.
Is it really worth the premium price tag, after all farming is a business and the bottom line is the most important factor
Hi Mike. Would you consider Deep Ripping that slew - would that help dry it out and make it farmable?
Not likely. They own so much land, there’s no reason to do anything but seed, spray, and harvest. They only pro-till heavy weed areas, or patches that start on fire.
😍👍
U should've gotten a case quadtrac over to compete
So with that muddy ground is tiling too cost prohibitive compared to the potential increase in revenue??
Mike what would you think about a Fendt 4 track?
I don't know about Mike but personally but I would love a fendt articulated tractor or 4 track.

I’m not doin that I don’t want to wash all the equipment he says well that’s not a fair head to head 🤣 peer pressure peer pressure Hahahaha burry the Deere 2 track lol
Tracks seem a lot better then wheels less soil compaction
From Germany to be exact
Mike do you buy or do you lease your equipment?
Was the land up there flat and no trees from the get home or did y’all have to clear the land to make it so flat and cleared of trees?
