Well, as a dog groomer from New Jersey, I can say the shear scale of the work, equipment, and what you do there continues to baffle me. It's s o hard for me to wrap my little fur covered brain around. I'm so impressed, from what I can tell, with very little direction on your part, all of the guys seem to know exactly what to do, when to do it, and where to be when needed.
I would have to agree with you Mike, I liked filling last thing, then greasing as everything was warm and I always thought grease would spread easier. But you start clean the next day, that really was the bonus, 😆😁☀️
I worked at a small grain mill, and we used small conveyors, 10 to 20 feet long, to move corn and soybean bags. Those conveyors were HEAVY. It boggles my mind how these huge conveyors stay attached to this cart, carrying a full belt of product, and through all the wear and tear. I know it's all heavy duty, the mounts and all, but geez.
Mike: you might want to use a break away lanyard on the remote, and then around your neck. Some day you will drop the remote into a tank. Make sure it's a break away though, in case it gets caught on something. Just a suggestion.
Morning Mike, did you get some much needed rain this wk end? Sure hope you did!! We got a enough to stop us Sat morning due to tough durum straw. We don’t work Sundays, and of course yesterday was beautiful. 😂😂 You guys must be nearing the finish line. We are 23% complete .... right on schedule.
Have you ever dropped the remote into the hopper? Or is it tied to your wrist? We have similar remotes for the big cranes at the machineshop where I work, and people regularly drop that puppy into the coolant tanks on some of the machines 😁
Mike, someone was really thinking with all the strategically placed lights on the air drill cart! Lighted buttons on the remote would be helpful. It was and has been cool here in northern Iowa also. You all take care.
Hi Mike, Greetings from Hamburg! I´wondering every time: How du you find your Fields? Without Navi! Every field looks like te other, all rectangle, no tree, no house, nothing to detect the right one... it´s much easyer here in Germany! Sorry for my Englisch. ;-)
@@notsofancyfarming For sure it is. But I was out here in-the 80’s and a barley crop in the South SK was yielding 4 bushels per acre. Some farmers just don’t plant if the moisture level is too low. May only plant half or where there is moisture I am wondering when Mike is going to shut it down
Use a forehead mounted LED light , hands free so you can see things better at night for those hard to get at locations, including that little hand held control device on your seeder.
If I were out at night in the middle of this field I would be thinking about aliens from the movie signs lol i could never step out of the cab of the tractor to calibrate at night 😅
Is that the largest cart or is there a larger one .. ? Thank you I hope your seeding goes well . If it's 2 miles long how wide is it ? I can't figure that out fast enough. Thanks for the great & informative video .. How long will it take you to seed the field ?
Bourgault's 71300 bu or the newer 91300 ( same volume ) are the largest at the moment you can buy, there was a Vaderstad 1300 but I don't see it anymore. Maybe there are farmers who build larger carts but never seen one, only larger toolbars/drills with smaller carts.
You only seed canola at 4-pounds an acres instead of the 120 pound an acre when seeding wheat..... so basically you need less space for seed and can therefore push more fertilizer if you choose to do so
Hey Mike..I have a question. What kind of system does your farm use to identify which feild is which and where it is located? So truck drivers and other employees know where to go and how to get there!!
Mike i have a question... Only 180 acres from a full cart - 10 refills for that one field?! Wow. With an 80ft planter how many hours does it take to empty it? The refilling guys must struggle to keep up...
Started watching every videos of your channel. Loving it
You should always make the truck drive into a wet spot in the field for refilling - just for stuck list purposes. haha
This was a fun video
He’s got a video up I’m so happy
Me too
Hey Mike your hoodie and shirt just arrived. The quality is amazing. Greetings
That's awesome! 🙂 Thanks!
That scenery sure is hard to beat. Beautiful sunset.

Mike, your phone did very well recording this upload at night. Which phone do you use?
"Hit every button but the right button" Classic usually how it goes lol. Have a good one
Mike u need a Milwaukee blower to clean your transfer auger and cart when you’re done loading
Good plan being ready for morning start.
Yes!
I would have to agree with you Mike, I liked filling last thing, then greasing as everything was warm and I always thought grease would spread easier.
But you start clean the next day, that really was the bonus, 😆😁☀️
The logistics to keep all of your seeders going have to be crazy. Thanks for showing me how to fill a cart at night. stay safe.
My shins were cringing when you were running up those steps!!!
That conveyor sounds like the Titanc hitting the iceberg :D
Good morning from Finland.
I genuinely think Mike may be fitter than some athletes, taking steps 4 steps at a time, literally running vertically up an air cart
Hahah
Now imagine carrying an entire pallet of bags of canola up there
Yep, until that one time you miss and the metal grate step removes a pound of flesh from your shin. HaHa good times.
@@hedge685 been there done that.... would not reccomend
Mike watching you stand up there in the dust I can just taste that fert...
Greetings from the south eastern side of the province! Nice setup! Great Equipment...
That’s cool sunset 🌅 thanks for sharing
Great video Mike
In his last video, Tony Fast gave you a nice shout-out for your truck positioning idea which he's now using.
Ha! That's awesome!

Nice shed antler you got there on your cart, Mike
Wow it is so interesting watching you plant keep up your great videos

good idea loading at night it finishes the day its ready in the morning also when you cant seed then spend time loading best yet.
Couldn’t help but notice the shed antler on the drill
That conveyer noise would make a good sound track for a horror movie! Good video! Thanks
Mike if you put your remote on after it's on press the power switch again and it will light up
Bet that scale and the led lights in the tanks are the real deal
This entire channel is like when I sell the starting machinery on FS19 and buy the biggest machinery I can.
Imagine faith hope farms on fs19?? It'd be huuuge
There is absolutely no chance 😂
What would be cool though is a scaled down version with sloughs in fields etc and 50ft honeybee headers
Morning Mike, did you get some much needed rain this wk end? Sure hope you did!! We got a enough to stop us Sat morning due to tough durum straw. We don’t work Sundays, and of course yesterday was beautiful. 😂😂
You guys must be nearing the finish line.
We are 23% complete .... right on schedule.
We did gwt shut down yes.. Prb still won't get going until Tuesday now..
We are 85%
With six tractors and air seeders seeding for a full month @ 85% complete; calculate the square miles (townships) seeded
@@mikemitchell2554 boy you guys are moving
Your a smart guy Mike. God Bless you.
Finally an upload. Sundays without your uploads are pretty boring 😅
Keep UP the good work and stay awesome 🔥💯
Very nice to see, greetz from the Netherlands
SK is so gorgeous, could see myself leaving Ontario for SK. Great video.
Awesome skyline though.👍
The sun sets are beautiful.

You guys have an impressive operation, well done. Very greatfull that you are sharing this,
Mike do you ever miss looking at trees 🌲 lol 😂 that is an amazing sunset man
@Wayne Creek Land and Cattle Co. They have few trees by the house and in a town nerby, so it's not completely "no tree land".
Mike our fields are so small here in Ireland you have trouble turning around and going back again thanks for showing how ye fill those seed cart
Hey mike fun fact that paddock is the same size as dads farm
Great awesome video mike, night time loading is always fun , did that Lots when I lived out west when I was trucking grain and fertilizer
Mike, someone was really thinking with all the strategically placed lights on the air drill cart! Lighted buttons on the remote would be helpful. It was and has been cool here in northern Iowa also. You all take care.
Can tell you’ve done a lot of loads by now, the way you lined that conveyor up was majestic 🙌
I live in Michigan and we say same thing. Don't like the weather wait 5min. Never more true than when I lived in Florida. Thanks for vid Mike
Thanks as always. God bless 🙌
Morning
Hey Guys , how many acres do you actually farm , we have some big operator’s in Aus but I suspect you guys can show us a thing or two !!
cheers
40,000

Good morning from Oregon
I thought your auger sounded (and kind of looked) like one of those big Brachiosaurus dinosaurs in Jurassic Park
Hahah 😂
It's a conveyor belt, not an auger ;)
Was tha a shed antler I saw on your cart. Laying on the bag deck
Buenos dias mike!
Handy all electric.👍
Hi Mike, Greetings from Hamburg! I´wondering every time: How du you find your Fields? Without Navi! Every field looks like te other, all rectangle, no tree, no house, nothing to detect the right one... it´s much easyer here in Germany! Sorry for my Englisch. ;-)
1600 acres? That’s about 8 good sized farms around here!
They don’t get the yields. Dry country
@@georgedavidson7986 they won’t get the same yields as some places, true, but the scale is unreal out there.
@@notsofancyfarming For sure it is. But I was out here in-the 80’s and a barley crop in the South SK was yielding 4 bushels per acre. Some farmers just don’t plant if the moisture level is too low. May only plant half or where there is moisture
I am wondering when Mike is going to shut it down
Nice.
But 1300 bush?? how much fertilizer
i wonder how many times they have lost the controller in the tank
When will the FHF hats be back in stock?? Like that grey color!!
Thanks Mike!
Hi Mike. From Ontario. Try Mobil Track Solutions tracker. Come with C 18 engine and cat transmission.
Mike when covid over you should do a live q@a in a cafe during winter
Use a forehead mounted LED light , hands free so you can see things better at night for those hard to get at locations, including that little hand held control device on your seeder.
Mike, I have a question: don't you think of wearing a mask would be good when dealing with all this chemicals?
Great video mike
U should put a small pail on the spout with duct tape it helps to control the spout with a handle
13:14 , Throw some WD-40 lubricant in there XD
Might there be a 1167 Mt someday to see ?
That's the plan.. But it will be later
How dose the trucks know where to go ?
Engelbert Strauss clothes 👍cool ,greets from Hessen,Germany
p.s.nice videos 🤘
Mike I have a question, as a truck guy can u tell me about the ones you run, make, model, engine size, how many? Love the videos keep them coming...😊
Did you guys put the lights in the cart? They are telling me that they don’t have them in the 9000s besides the saddle tank.
No they're came standard with lights and camera..
Yeah, I don't think fan of the new 9000 series
@@mikemitchell2554 wait...your not a fan of the 9000?
If I were out at night in the middle of this field I would be thinking about aliens from the movie signs lol i could never step out of the cab of the tractor to calibrate at night 😅
why is the cart at the back and not in front of the planter?
Air Seeders larger then 750 bu - 800 bu or (mostly) tow behind for various reasons, this one is 1300 bu ( + 40 bu saddle tank ).
Is that the largest cart or is there a larger one .. ? Thank you I hope your seeding goes well . If it's 2 miles long how wide is it ? I can't figure that out fast enough. Thanks for the great & informative video .. How long will it take you to seed the field ?

PLS make a video about seeding canola I am a little confused could you put fert in the entire cart and just a few bushels of seed in that small tank?
You only seed canola at 4-pounds an acres instead of the 120 pound an acre when seeding wheat..... so basically you need less space for seed and can therefore push more fertilizer if you choose to do so
hi mike,can you explain,how does the auger run when filling cart from truck.is it run off the tractor power?
Mike just a random question how do u keep such a chill mood
Just my nature.. Don't life so seriously 🙂
@@mikemitchell2554 thanks for responding
So i got a question, Mike, Have you ever dropper the remote into a hopper, and what do you do at that point?
no YOURE awesome
Ha! I dunno about that.. But thanks! 😂🙂
It sounds like a transformer changing back into it's hiding persona.
Do you plant your end rows last ?
Mike what’s the hitch at the back of the grain cart used for?
I have a question Mike, do you hire extra help for spring and fall work?
Майк, привет из сибири Тюмень🇷🇺, очень интересное видео, мощная техника на вашей ферме впечатляет👍
4/20 and that unit is LIT!
Mike, I got a question: What's the difference between a thunder boomer and a thunder millennial?
One has a UA-cam channel.
Hey Mike..I have a question.
What kind of system does your farm use to identify which feild is which and where it is located? So truck drivers and other employees know where to go and how to get there!!
Croptivity
@@mikemitchell2554 Show us how it works !
Hey Mike, I have a question? What is the ratio of seed to fertilizer?
Have you ever dropped the remote into the tank?
No... That would be bad
Crazy to seed in minus temps.but I now you have to cover the ground how many acres are you running this year?you up or down from last year?
I would have thought with a cart that big you could go farther then 180 acres. We do 150 acres with a 430 bu cart.
Mike i have a question... Only 180 acres from a full cart - 10 refills for that one field?! Wow. With an 80ft planter how many hours does it take to empty it? The refilling guys must struggle to keep up...
Only takes a few hours to Empty
How many drills did you have going in the 1600 acre field?
What work clothes do you wear?
How much did you guys seed. Here in denmark i’ve covered around 8000 acres already😀 keep up the good work
Over 40,000 acres
Mike Mitchell what rpm do u run ur tractor when you fill the tank and wat flow is ur hydraulic?
1500
Good video except for the end when you got close to the trailer wheels, it's in his mirror view but he can't see you in the dark.
Roughly how many lights are on each cart drill and tractor altogether in total
Hello Mick, ive got a question, how many seed and fertilizer do you use a acre? great question bytheway, thank you
