- Bringing in the last of the fertilizer that I can store up north and the Ole fert auger has seen better days. Infact, I just hope to get another load or two out of it! 😬😂

As an arborist, my guess would be roots not being able to grow naturally due to compaction and girdled roots from small transplanting pots. It’s especially common for new trees planted around construction sights, roads and concrete structures. Just a hunch since I saw tracks next to the spruce trees 😂
Run diesel through the entire auger. Oil the crap out of the bearings. Good to go. My old farm king 1070 has had only fert in it for about 10 years now and habe changed the bearings twice.
years ago we used to replace broken bearings Mike is proving us wrong
Ha! 😆 Just trying to get my moneys worth! 👌
Keep planting trees . I don't know how many times that has happened to me. My Dad was still planting in his eighths and said I may not be able to enjoy them but some body will. Miss him
Here us old guys can remeber a thing called a 9 hole bar!
It fitted on the lift arms of your tactor and provided a hitch for implements such as augers and could possibly give you the 8-9 inches your looking for (Keep your thoughts clean)
A 9 hole bar is called that because it had 9 attachment holes in it, it is usually about 1,1/2 inches thick steel
If you find one and decide to use it don't forget to pull or knock the lift lever so that it comes up and bends the PTO shaft like a bannana!
We put airless tires on our swings from Canadian tire, haven't had a flat for years haha
Hey Mike, you can spin the 1000 pto at 540, just not the other way around. Just have to select 540 and away you go.
Why not the other way around, if the load isn't too much.
It's just another typical day in the grain business
Right?! 😂
Always cool, to see the sassy massy
Great interview. Olley totally agree with you and the Welsh chap keep flying the flag for UK farmer's, good April fools, you had me 😂 ❤
We always try to keep a set of bearings on hand for the fert auger.
Have you thought about changing the hitch on the auger itself? You could even just add on to the tube and put heavy plate to tie them together.
Thanks for the update Mike. Tough pushing fert up an auger. Bring on the planting seaason, ha!
Love seeding as well!!
6 bags of floor dry in the hopper. 2 pails of used motor oil. Let it soak and run it up slow. Not perfect but it helps with rust in the tube and auger flighting. Grease the bearings and oil the chains after use.
Pine trees on the prairies are fickle for sure. Try standing old pallets around them on the south and west sides. Then they shade in the summer and it holds snow on them in the winter. Happy Easter Mike!
Now that actually sounds like an intelligent idea
Seen people use fine sawdust aswell
really like that truck, Mike
Poor ernie looked like he had a flat. Inside passenger tire. Lol
Really hoping you guys have a great year for the South and the North farm. Sending positive vibes your way
Yep, not just tractors, trucks, drills and combines. All these other pieces of equipment also can be a problem.
If thats like my Farm King auger the hitch is adjustable for length. At least 3 holes as I recall so it can match up to various different tractors. There is a spec in the operators manual giving the recommended distance for the hitch and shaft.
A video showing Mike repairing the auger would be interesting lol
Maybe a tree guy could look at them and see what they think. Trees are so good to have around a farm.
Why extend the Hitch on the Tractor? It would be way easier to extend the square tube at the auger. This way every tractor should fit und you can just weld there as much on as you need.
R.I.P. pine trees
Great video Mike
Has to be discouraging. But Canadian farmers are tough!
OSHA approves your PTO modification by “Bodgeit and Scarpa”
Sure like following you Mike even though you were pining over dead spruce trees. LOL
Ha! 😂🤦🏻♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@mikemitchell2554 From Farmington, New Mexico U.S.A. What kind of TWO WAY RADIO or CB RADIO do you have in your new truck and your one ton white truck? Oh, have you seen or encountered a SASQUATCH on your NORTH FARM or your SOUTH FARM or in the area? Farmington, New Mexico is near N.A.P.I. or Navajo Agricultural Products Industry. So if you GOOGLE Region 2 store and go on there website and want to order stuff from there. Just let me know and I can get it for you and mail it to you okay. Laters
200K. Congratulations mate
Thanks.
Another great enjoyable video. I'm a pastor here in Oregon and a former grass seed and grain farmer!
Next video "Brand new fertilizer conveyor" hahaha
😂
Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur et le matériel agricole et bien équipés 😂😮😅😊
great video mike
I think it should warm up to like +15° this week the foot of snow down south probably won't last very long.
Mike you run a well oiled hay wire operation . 🤣🤣🤣
You haven't seen nothing until I bring out the gorilla tape! 😆
Toooooo funny
I should have mentioned that.
Gotta get the auger RPM's down a bit, it helps keep the fert augers together. I put a deflector inside the auger on the shaft behind the main drive bearing, helps it survive a lot longer. For ernie it would be quicker to just make a hitch extension if you only need the extension for the auger. Or extend auger hitch.
Gear oil and diesel mix and coat everything in it and like someone already mentioned kitty litter or floor absorber soaked in it same mix and auger it up
You can always shorten pto shaft 😀
Par for the course to have a smoking bearing on the auger around here. I’m not even a grain farmer lol
You may need to introduce mycorrhiza to the soil around the roots of the pines to help them get established where trees have not grown in the past.
Your trees are not dead yet. The needles lost their water, if you prune them and water them properly, they might get back alive !
Christmas tree farmer here. Nope they are died. My guess on why they died is they weren't healed in properly. Plus it's natural to lose 10 to 15% of seedlings the first year.
It's 540 or 1000 Mike.... duh!!!! All tractors, every brand, analog or digital...
Just be thankful you're not in the Xmas tree business! 😂
I'm a Christmas tree farmer. I'm just glad we do it in the Midwest and not Canada. 😂
Id be putting a 40ft container hoop barn at that nth farm, and get 8x4x3 big sqaure straw bales and fill in one end, get that gear undercover, plus some ibc s with water, although freezing be the issue?? Maybe in one of the containers might not freeze??
Looks like the pine trees maybe got too much water. Looks like the ones that are dead happen to stand in an little bit of a low spot were a bit of water was standing
If you knew the bearings were shot, it begs a question (or a few, really). 🤷🏼♂️
Hi from oz mike. Are you sure you have to extend drawbar????? I have different pto shafts for different tractors here and geared pto on tractors to run at the correct speeds or even more economical speeds. That fendt looks like it has bolt on pto shaft so maybe change it to the 540 shaft. My fendt came with three bolt on shafts for the different sizes.
Just get a hitch bar for the 3point hitch, then you can hook the auger to the 3 point
Dad better get a crop down south or things are going to be looking bad for Mike
LOL... thinking about overheat the bearing while moving ammonium nitrate... hope they add enougth potassium in America to avoid a detonation
Very sorry about your planted trees, should be a nice wind shelter if they are grown up, hope you try again.
Why don't you extend the tongue of the auger? Seems easy enough with a bit of square tube.
Hey Mike
Christmas tree farmer and horticulture is here. Without seeing the spruce trees here is my educated guesses on why they died.
1. They were planted too deep.... Only about 3/4 of a root ball should be in the ground. Then mound dirt up to the top of the root ball to finish.
2. Too little or too much water.
3. Not enough protection. If the snow piles up around the trees and there's not enough green showing the plant will not take in sun and photosynthesize.
4. The trees were not heeled in properly. You really need to compact pack the soil in around new seedlings. When the little roots start growing and they hit an air pocket they will stop there.
5. Naturally you're going to lose about 10% of trees the first year planted.
6. For about the first year, a few times a year, water the trees with a root stimulating hormone.
Happy growing 🌞
It could potentially be the soil right there is higher saline from the water table coming from the lagoon. 🤔 Because it's killed some of poplars too
@@mikemitchell2554It's a possibility for the spruces but probably not with the poplar. Poplar trees love water. They naturally grow in swamp areas.
You said the answer to your problem earlier in the video. SOIL TEST....
You're also trying to grow two trees in the same area that like two different types of soil.
You may also try growing something different. I believe balsam Firs may grow well in your area.
P.S. I'm not a big fan of poplars. You're such a messy tree. 😂 I think Quercus robur (Columnar Oak) is hardy enough to grow that far north. Much stronger tree than poplar.
As a farmer in aus we not even get a chance to go out in the paddock cuz it’s so dry and the ground is so hard
Mike. Is that a brand new shaft on that auger? You might need to cut a bit off each end of the shafts. Your Massey would probably be fine.
Have you tried any of the lanolin rust proofing products when water is not available?
random question mike..are you gonna be trying the new john deere 9rx this
Some of them shafts you can shorten pretty easily
👍
If the pto is too long on both tractors. Find a portable bandsaw. Slip the halves apart. For you metric folk chop 25.4mm off each side and recheck. Lol
Hey man got your PTO shorter. Pull it apart and cut about 2 inchs off of each end.
Are you going to put a pre fab house at the. North farm ?.
You should have used ACF-SR biological bacteria product for the pine trees and they wouldn't die at all.
We ran bout 3 days on it. I had $16k to spend on new but my wife has been beggin for new tit$ies. So I went ahead and paid for the augmentation. So far so good tho
Why not make a short PTO shaft for Eany?
Can you make your auger hitch longer?
that brown on your trees is wind burn from winter. they may still be alive, this happens as nurseries protect the trees and when you plant them it could be first time seeing these winds over winter. just wait for mid summer to decide if alive or not.
the brown branches are dead yes but new green can still grow from the bottom
From Farmington, New Mexico, U.S.A. What TWO WAY RADIO or CB RADIO do you run on your new truck and your new one ton truck? Oh, have you ever seen SASQUATCH on your south or north farm?
👋😊
Hey where do you wash your equipment
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️
Could you get away with a hole bar in the 3point hitch arm?
Late start, afternoon
Steel wheels on auger
Ummmm Mike that's what ernie 2 is for
is your hitch to short or your PTO to long
Mike are there augers specifically built for handling fert?
Lol no, fert augers are usually just the wore out grain auger that got replaced by a new or newer one. 😂
Good one Sir but I disagree about the trees, the first row is spruce and not pine. I know you’re a farmer but pine tree has long needles and spruce short needles. Regards from south Sweden.
That's right! As a forester I can tell you they are definitely spruce.
You are correct about them being spruces trees and not pines. Although in North America we a few variety of short needle pines. We farm almost 30,000, mostly short needle, pines here in the Midwest United States.
We are in Saskatchewan trees aren’t overly our thing 🤣
Who cares what type of trees they are. Comment on something meaningful
@@user-jj2kj3nd7g it sounds like someone has a case of the grumpies. Are upset because you have an itching, burning feeling and you can't find your vagisil cream or are you just an ass?
If you want more pine trees you can come to my place, dig them up, and take them for FREE
What about Bert?
44 sekonds ago
mabey you got rabbit damage to them trees,we put chicken wire around young trees buy me because rabbits love the bark on seedlings.
They're spruce, not pine though eh?
5:50 lemme translate "my activity is not sustainable and ruining the soil". Crazy that someone can say that and not question what they are doing.
Dont tell him about liming
Aren't you afraid of hot sparks going in the bin an Catching fire
Why don't you change your 1000 to a 540 on the tractor? Think it's just 6 both and absolutely no oil leak, all external. You probably have the other one on the bottom of your tractor toolbox, we sure did..😆👍
Guess them million dollar farms cannot afford bearings lol
It’s just a fertilizer auger… he will just replace it at the end of the year. Anyone that works will fertilizer knows you just replace the whole item and don’t worry about fixing anything lol.
@@crandonborth back in the 60's and 70's when I was a farm kid all we had was 100 pound bags of fertilizer and let me tell ya moving them was fun
Shorten the PTO tubes.
sure that they not red Pine trees? :D
Cut the pto shorter
Have one built wouldn’t be that hard
Why can’t Erin’y be a plow
👍
