I always appreciate when drivers PULL over on an approach... so much easier and quicker both ways. But then there's always those who are on their high-horse and need to get around NOW and almost cause crashes.
Those people and the people who just sit there where you have to move over and go around them are not very great.
Man the turbo really sings in that JD quad track.
the sound is great :D
Mike's tree trimming service! A new sideline for the off season. LOL !
Mount a hydraulic drive chain saw up there.
Nah he's so efficient that he does it in season - 2 jobs at a time. :-)
He prob trimmed all the trees in a 100 mile radius in that one tree line
That's what a lot of people forget, driving/walking through someone's field is like driving/walking through some ones lawn with fresh planted flowers...no one would like that.
I actually had to drive in someone's front yard because a combine with header came around the corner, I couldn't go back, he couldn't go back, I had the way smaller vehicle and just moved out of the way
My uncle slid off the highway in winter and took out the fence and well into a farmers field and the farmer was pretty understanding.
People who wave when passing farm equipment after waiting behind for a while are mostly other farmers or work in the farming industry. Most other people don’t understand and are mad.
LLP
well they should see it as they are letting me past they could have left you behind it for a long time
What sort of jerk lives in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by nothing but farms, and then gets mad when they encounter farm equipment on the roads?
Well said, same in WI other than that no one cares everyone gets upset. All it would take is 2 seconds for an accident crazy how people get so mad at something that’s just slower then normal
It sure beats living in the city waiting on traffic
We didn't even dream of equipment that size when I grew up on the farm. Love it.
The only thing that restricts going bigger is road size and factory size
Mike you guys are definitely awesome do you know how many farmers just keep rolling and don’t care you guys are definitely special taking care of the general public that’s nice to see 👍👍👍
Looks cool when you’re driving fast in your tractor and on your videos the wheels look like they are turning very slowly.
Always try to be courteous to farmers, love our farmers!!!!!!
If I came up behind you guys...I'd stay back there all day looooong. Lol. Mike n Crew held me up...lol
Thank-you for taking us sailing on the dirt ocean.
I can imagine pulling around the John Deere rigs but getting around the Fendt with triples must make semi drivers pucker.
Glad you had a safe move.
Mike I like that you have pilot trucks in the front and back of the units. There are a few large operations should watch theses videos and take some notes for there own reference. Nice work on the pilot trucks.
Thanks! Yes, only way to go in my opinion
Farmers feed Canada 🇨🇦 and the world 🌎 so we can live with it when moving equipment. Keep up the great videos Mike and team.
Oh goodness moving a seeder on the road is a sketchy thing I can’t imagine moving a combine is even stressful
Like rolling a dice with pulling off nr the ditches, she might sink,she might not!!🤷♂️🙏😱🙈🤣👌👋
I have a sneaky suspicion the JD 9 series are going to be switched in favor for something better for next year. the JD transmission is grinding up Mike's patience with those things it seems
I think he would rather deal with the transmission than deal with cases electronics. The transmission shifts slow and clunky but atleast works. Not many other options with that horsepower. I could be wrong but thats the impression I get.
@@SocietyIsDoomed good thing Case and JD aren't the only 2 agri-brands out there then ;)
@@lunasilvermoon2283 I believe he has stated they still have the 9rx's because there aren't many other better options at this time for that horsepower and weight. From what I gather he would only be interested in the case quadtrack or fendt 2 track at this time. Dealer location is probably just as important as the weight and horsepower. Also remember fendt doesn't have the best parts service here yet. That doesn't leave many options.
@Wayne Creek Land and Cattle Co. hopefully they have figured that out. It seems thats there only downfall. I have no experience with the quad tracks or 9rx, just their little brothers lol. Just going off what I see and hear.
I would hope that Mike mentioned the shifting to his local JD dealer. Doing a transmission calibration can make a world of difference.
My dad was driving together with my aunt and they were following a large combine on the hyway and my aunt said. why do they even allow those large farm equipment on the roads? My Dad laughed and said where are they supposed to drive the ditch?
In Europe, you are not allowed to drive any farm equipment or other vehicles wider than 2.55 m (8'4'') on the road without a dispensation letter or special permission or notification to the local police 24 hours in advance.
Know your limits: Wide vehicles on road www.fwi.co.uk/machinery/know-your-limits-wide-vehicles-on-road
@@ITubeTooInc Nobody gives two shits about how things are in europe
@@baconboy5080 seems like someone has a big lack of education.
Luckily people in europe aren't that simple and narrow minded 👏
@@Horrligan eu laws are nonsense.
@@EFCasual (talking about the law ITube... mentioned) Well it may seems like this for people from anywhere else but the streets here are much narrower than in Canada and the US. These airdrills won't even fit on usual streets through rural areas. So ofc we need to limit the width of farm machines and other machines as well ofc 🤷♂️
Great awesome video mike, lots of fun moving , dodging trucks , cars , grain trailer . Frank’s cousin lol 😂 , keep on truckin Mikey lol
Looks like a nice afternoon.
Wait 5 min it can go to crap quick.
Hey mike that highway driving must really wear down the tractor and implement lug tires fast hey
You know I thought the same thing, but it hasn't at all
well the powershift isn't that bad, try the powershift of a Deutz-fahr you can make coffee befor that will shift..
Yep I now how moving is.i use to work on the farm in N.D.
I like your video
That tandem was a cool ole truck
It's nice to see and hear John Deere tractor horsepower. Pulls all that weight with eaze. Love your videos.
That tractor sounds amazing
The sky is beautiful.
You beating on that shifter sounds like me beating on my paddle shifter on my freightliner Cascadia auto shift trying to override it to accelerate quicker!!
13:00 You just became the local branch manager.
People are just strange, if they lose 5 minutes from their lives behind a tractor, they get angry. Spending hours and hours behind their tv screen is ok for them.
Right the housing development I use to work at the ppl would gllet mad at us if we had to drive on their little 5 foot strip of property. It's like they forget there house was built too. Or when they had to go around me in the skid steer.
I get angry if I'm stuck behind a car, tractors and trucks get a pass though
Mike slappin them gears like they owe him somethin lol
Good show
Thanks!
Here in Wisconsin as long as I have slow moving vehicle sign visible from behind I have same right on road as cars. I will pull over when it's safe for everyone to do so same as you.
Jeremy, another Badger here. I believe there is a state law that when 6 or more vehicles stack up behind moving farm machinery that they are required to pull over and allow the traffic to pass as soon as possible.
@@billj.widmann112 not that I've ever heard I will move over if it's safe to do so. I do know that if get in an accident when driving on shoulder insurance will not cover it. Do have to have visible smv sign. It is extremely dangerous and can be expensive to drive on shoulder glass from broken beer bottles can do extensive damage to expensive tires
Worst time to move around here in Southern ab is 5 am to 6 am and 5 pm to 6 pm never try to move around those times around here
Thanks Mike!
A full hopper hops
Between the crops
Whole lots of stop
One Mike mic drop
Props.
Eh stay away from the trees kind sir!
Wow, these roads are about as narrow as they are in Germany, but we have tough restrictions on how wide farm equipment can be folded up.
But there's also 100 times more traffic in Germany than where he drives + way more twists and turns on the roads. Even their so-called "highways" has next to no traffic :-) But no wonder, there are no people around when they have 40,000 acres (162 km²) fields with no houses or even nature on. :-) That's actually the same size as Liechtenstein which is a whole country, although a tiny one.
@@ITubeTooInc Right that's true
Mike dropping his mike. That is ok as long as he doesn’t drop his pants as he drives.
🤣🎤😂👖🤣
Yes Man dropping his pants public just not natural! 12 gauge double oo shotgun Can cure a lot of situations
actually there is a video of Mike in the traktor without his pants! :)
@@GregorHammerschmidt Yes I know I gave him a hard time about it LOL probably like all of us one of those less stellar moments. LOL
I know. Always these paid actors. So unprofessional. A real farmer would never drop anything. Especially not a wrench in some "crevasse" (I don't know the English term)
@@GregorHammerschmidt That is quite true well he got soaked by the sprayer.
His white legs might scare us 🤣😂
Mike i lovee your wave haha
Great video Mike
That "small" 450 acre field is more than what we have. :'D Jeez, everything is so damn bigger there.
Dorasz Mike, his two brothers & dad and crew farm approximately 40,000 acres in SW Saskatchewan.
Mike also recently bought some land in east south central Saskatchewan where Ashtyn’s parents live that he contracts Ashtyn’s parents to do some of the work.
Mike’s new John Deere combine will head north later in harvest season to help out at the newly purchased land.
They have a few individual fields that are over 5,000 acres each
A "small" farm here in SK is about 5000-10000 acres. We do have smaller but they tend to have other jobs as well.
Hi Mike your so lucky to have roads wide like that and sooo little traffic to what we have in the UK in Suffolk I have spent years on our farms moving big bits of kit we where one of the first to have a Quadtrak now on our 5th one and moving big drills an cultivators is now a nightmare often moving 30 miles to do only 30/40 acres I’m very jealous of you big fields and compared to us enormous roads and no one on them
Good luck with seeding it’s been very cold and dry until a few days ago here to take care stay safe
Its easy with no one because Saskatchewans population is around 1.1 million for the entire province and 80% of it is concentrated in 3 cities.
Love the convoy shots but the fendt looks next level and I'm a john deere man! 💪👌👍
Hi Mike hope you have had some rain, seeding well advanced in southern Australia but very dry in some parts with almost no rain yet.
but plenty of mice 🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭
Morning Mike 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Don't be too hard on the transmission for shifting the way it does, it's no 18 speed road ranger that you have to shift yourself and it gets through the gears pretty quick considering you're loaded.
Great show’s thanks for sharing
Cool. Worked well
Interesting how you jump back and forth….miles vs km….temps mostly Celsius……volume in gallons…..psi vs bars
I've noticed the same thing. When they worked in the shop on all those opener bearings, the wrenches were fractional, not metric. The field sizes are acres, not hectares, the headers on the combines are 50 feet wide, but wind and driving speeds are in kilometers. As long as he knows which is which, I guess!
It's just one of those things being so close a country that uses non-metric units. As part of said country, I actively swap between the two to make it easier to communicate with countries in Europe whom I play games with. Most of the conversions are pretty simple, or close enough. km/mi is one of the easier things to convert as long as you stay under 150km. It's just something Canada has to live with. Celsius is pretty reasonable to convert in your head. Once you get past 2 litres, you've already lost a typical American.
@@hotrodfella1 Since we switched in the 60s to metric, a lot of older people still use imperial. Also since we're so close to America, we learn to convert both in our heads. We tend to use the metric system for distances and speeds but something like our height and weight we use feet and pounds. We kinda combine both but can easily calculate both
Damn that Deere sounds fantastic accelerating.
Mike a gate is a gate. A whole in the fence which you drive through is a gateway.
Just like going down to DQ for a blizzard.... in a blizzard 😁
Hey Mike, When you gonna try the fendt 1167 vario mt?
How do ya know when you're there?? It all looks the same. lol.
would it be more economical and easier to put your equipment on flatbed trucks and haul it that way to your destination?
People just don't understand you are producing the raw products for the food they enjoy eating. Moving large equipment can be a pain. You take care.
Road Warrior mode.
You have to call this series : How to work with Mike so he don't fire you !
Loving the view!
Note to self, in lower 48 states, if have slow moving signage decal on implement or equipment you cannot exceed 25 MPH. So if tractors go faster than that, which many now do or a pickup is pulling a wagon or baler for example. You can and will get a speeding ticket. I got my baler repaired and while taking home with pickup at 50 mph got a rather steep ticket and this knowledge.
Where was that at? I've never heard that one before here in southern Wisconsin
Also from Wisconsin, never heard of that happening here.
@Wayne Creek Land and Cattle Co. I would think it being on a trailer should automatically negate that.
I wonder if it has ever has happened that someone has seeded someone else's field by mistake? Probably doesn't happen these days with GPS at least.
People have built houses on others’ plots by accident, so I am sure it has happened. Easily forgiven , I guess. Harvesting anothers’ field would bring out the guns I’m sure
🔥
It’s fair to say that JD gearbox would “rip my knitting” 😡😡😡😡😡
Mike: This field isn't very big. Only 450 acres.
Me: Which is about the average size a whole farm (agriculture operation) over here in Germany cultivates.
Do semis have a standard UHF/cb channel in Canada
Channel 40 In Australia you will get most trucks and likewise when moving machines your on channel 40 so people can contact you
All farmers have UHFs in their pickups so they can contact you to let them pass but usually you just end up having a chat and sitting behind them lol
Morning
So many space, such a small roads. ☹
But no traffic
Awesome video
Mike, quit beatin around the bush and tell us how you really feel about the transmission in that tractor.. :)
hey mike how often do you replace your tractors is it when they have a certain no of hours on them.?
is that fendt 2 Track still coming, or did it run (away) like a deere X9?
Michael Maier Mike has indicated the Fendt 2 Track is still to come. It is possible it is still either on the boat or under Covid Quarantine 🤣😂
Awesome Video!!
It's amazing what driver's will do when they come up on machinery going down the highway. Several years ago my neighbor's hired man was going to make a left turn into his driveway, he had the turn signals on & moved over to let the guy know he was going to turn. It didn't work. I don't know how the guy didn't realize what the tractor was going to do because you can see for a mile either way. The driver of the car smashed right into the back of the chisel plow. Smashed the front end of his vehicle & did a lot of damage to the chisel plow. He was lucky he didn't get hurt but I bet he pays more attention now.
Mike it won't be fun without the pilot vehicles to let you know what's going on in the back
OMG Mike, 450 almost isn't worth your time. Lol
Love the video
What I hear... the rx shifts Pretty Okay , smooth ... Nice sound btw , Maybe I'm wrong ?
I’ve driven a 9R. The Powershift is a nice transmission, but shifting into/out of 4 and 13 are rough. However, that’s only because it’s a completely different set of gears, like if you were shifting from range B to C or something.
Mike can we get a farm tour 2021
How does this much reading affect your profits and what are the costs that are incurred by doing this long distance.
I want a dairy queen blizzard now
Great video! Could you make longer videos when you are just driving either seeding in the fields or on the road like now? Just start recording and let it record for a long time. Talk just when you want or like now. Just let it record through the front screen or shift between back and front for an jour or so. Mute when talking in Phone or you need to 😇 Its so great to get to share your amazing view of seeding and the landscape. Nice to have just running in the background when working, whishing to be outside :) Either thank you so much for all the videos! Keep up the good work 👍
Are there any Väderstad drills over there? They make them about the same size as Bourgault ones.
Yes
@@mikemitchell2554 Are they better or worse than the Bourgault? 😀
They are good drill too.. A little lighter built in my opinion but still good
At the end of the day the biggest thing is customer service and availability of parts,every brand will break its inevitable,so normally you run what works for you and have a dealer that offers good support!!!
Seedhawk/ vaderstad are built in saskatchewan
Why do you run your engine while standing or waiting because of traffic with 1750rpm?
Is there a sensor on the tractor to monitor the track temperature on these long highway transits?
No
lol there are people that don't even drive 100 miles (or km) in a MONTH :) lol
not us... our wallymarty is like 7 miles away lol ;) but... we got the BEACH 20 miles that way, and the mountains 25 miles thataway... (and desert another 30 or so further out... yea... SandyEggo is fun... lol)
So, you have talked about your brother before and he was in a video running the trac-hoe on a water leak. Does he and your parents help in the farming or do you operate it and he does his own thing?
We all work together 🙂
@Scott Alspach That was his brother in the other 9RX behind the Fendt.
Mike I’ve got a question, will we get to see your 9620r with triples?
Yes! But it's ways up yet
450 ac field not real big?! Our applicators around here in Wisconsin are like if we get a 80-100 ac field we are in heaven!
Their largest field is around 5500 acres, total 40,000+ acres. 😉
A small farm operation is having 5000-10000 acres here in sask
How many hours does a full load of fuel last?
Most tractors get 11-13h out of a tank when doing heavy pulling like seeding. But that depends on a lot of things. Id imagine it to be somewhere in that area for Mike though.
I was wondering why it took them a while to pass by
Mike, where do you know where your fields are? It is chaotic!!! :P:P:P
You know where your Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Parents and friends live right? Same with land. You don't forget.
Name the fields, most do. Like we used to name them from who we bought it from, rent it from, or who lives nearby.
Hey Mike; Have you ever plowed or planted the somebody else's field?
Hi Mike, before SatNav how did you find your way to the right field? When you’re travelling 60miles, or more, and everything looks the same it’s amazing to me you don’t end up in the wrong place or end up seeding someone else’s field.
Its easy when you know the roads and land around you... Especially if you pay to use it or bought it. You dont just leave 10s of 1000s of dollars laying around and forget where it is. Do you know the roads around your neighborhood or places you frequent?
@@mikeznel6048 sure but where I live there are landmarks and features everywhere.
plz make a map of all your fields
When you gonna pick up the1162
Being that it all looks the same do farmers ever plant the wrong field?
Never been so early😀 267 views
✌️✌️✌️✌️
Any there any disk seeders around like the new case air drill? Just curious what are the pros and cons of each. Going to Colorado on vacation seems we always see the air seeders like you have. Know nothing about air drills corn n bean County thanks
Some farmers use disc drills
