Mike, I’m a service technician from the UK, crazy seeing your kit, we have two 9RXs at our dealership and that’s considered a lot over here! To stop the beeping you can temporarily unplug the buzzer relay in the fuse box, it looks like a relay but has a speaker in the middle of it! Hope this helps!
My only problem if I encountered your convoy on the road would be finding a spot to pull over and gawk in utter amazement at the multiple millions of dollars of giant AG equipment rolling by! 😲🤠
U should stop and look at your taxes rolling buy gov owned and operated. Wake up people do some research everything that comes from this farm goes to china. They just sharecroppers using other nations equipment
This is a problem that would be easily solved in the software. The third time this alarm turns on and makes you press ok, have another button made available that says “ignore until next restart” or something similar. That way these super annoying ones don’t make the operators go nuts, but people still get reminded there’s an issue every time they restart the tractor.
That constant buzzing of the sensor certainly would irritate the living daylights out of me. If the owner of the dealership had to ride in your cab for even a short period of time the repair would already be completed
@@jinaetienne1205 I'm happy to announce that I have gained financial freedom by investing in digital currency . Now I know that multi creation of various streams of income is the ideal Principle for financial sustainability.
I’m sorry you have had such a frustrating day. If it makes you feel any better, my tractor broke down pretty much every hour the other day. When it comes to farm life, crap happens. Just keep going, and you’ll pull through.
You deserve an award for patience for dealing with that alarm for as long as you did. Thanks for all the uploads. It’s always nice to wake up to a Mike Mitchell vid. 👍
I yelled at mechanics after 3 hours of beeping. Never got fixed. Cant stand broken sensors, and that was a broken sensor if i’ve ever seen one. And the next machine had a list of about 10 that was busted
I would have already ripped that monitor off or unpluged it or something that noise would have already driven me nuts ----great video anyway thanks for the behind the scenes effort it takes to produce them
Who else predicted that the sensor would not fix the problem? Paging Eric O. Please keep us updated. It is probably the wiring harness, with the pigtail the most likely point. Second option is a bad axle bearing allowing the tone ring to destroy the sensor.
A cut sandwich should not be into triangles! If they are then they are not “driving food” because a corner will ALWAYS drop and spill the contents into your lap and onto the seat!
Lots of constant constant constant hours drives a guy crazy. I admire you Mike/your bro and the rest of your crew. Thank you for feeding the world 🙏🙏🙏.
@@mikemitchell2554 In a semi truck the beeper is a tiny little round thing smaller than a pencil eraser with two metal prongs coming out of it. I had to remove it once and was amazed at how small yet how loud that thing was.
We have two tractors we are going to update in the very near future, a New Holland T9.560 and a T9.615. After watching your video there is little chance of me stepping foot in a JD dealership. Farming is a tough gig. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs.
Just take an air horn into your John Deere dealer, hold the button down for four hours and see how they like it! I’m surprised some farmer hasn’t gone postal on a dealership yet!
Hello Mike if you still have any hearing . That is why I love the older machines without any computers .. I already have my ears constantly ringing since I've been 15 years old
This is why Mike is the best farming youtuber!! Would other farming youtubers let you listen to a sensor that makes you want to tie the knot? I don’t think so. That’s why Mike is the best.
Another fantastic video, Mike. Thank you. I doubt I would have been as calm as you were having to put up with that stupid noise only to find out the part had never been ordered. Farm life is not always a bed of roses.
Interesting comment i heard the other day... "The industry has a problem far beyond right to repair. The equipment itself is not designed to deliver on its mission because breakdowns are inevitable. Being able to fix electronics quickly will help, but until the equipment is designed to be fault-tolerant, farmers will always be fighting technology AND the weather. "
One thing about the old Massey. It doesn't have bunch of sensors. One time my Challenger derated just as crossing BNSF RR tracks. Talk about getting caught up on praying.
So what I have done in all my machines is disconnect the buzzers and beepers in all monitors cabs everything. I've taken the monitor apart and cut the soderd connections with side cutters. Highly recommend it!
Man that was a painful episode to watch, I can still hear it!! Dammit !! And I was not even there. Side note, friendly reminder to everyone that don't care to wear ear protection when working in a noisy environment, that can become a constant thing you will hear all the time, night and day, and you can't turn it off, so please do take care.
Man, that buzzer would have drove me nuts! Hell, I had to turn down the volume! Mike, you're a better man than me, that monitor would've been laying in the road!
We farmed long distance renting the farm from my mother-in-law after my father-in-passed. We took over his wore out equipment. We first had to concentrate on mechanical issues like changing all bearings and belts and straw walkers and whatever else on a wore out machine on a very limited time schedule. The buzzers were going steady for the first three years and no AC.
It’s like the exhaust gas filter on some deeres. The book says you can change it like every 750 hrs. Change it every oil change or the engine will derate. Stupid sensors and extra stuff.
Just as Mike said I prefer to move at night, I was thinking Mike why don't you guys just move at night lol, after watching more that sensor alarm is ridiculous, I understand the reason for it but the operator should have a master alarm cut off feature for reasons like this
Idk how it works for this big tractors, but in smaller JD u can just silence or remove buzzer completly. It looks like a relay, but it is usally looking like speaker on the chart/manual. And it have potentiometer on one side.
If you only have to move 3km you've got lots of gravel and concrete to spread out and make it wide When your going 1000s of kilometres you gotta get real careful how wide the road is Just making the road 2 inchs wider would cost millions extra when added to the whole road
On one of the Fergusons we ran, the sensor for you sitting in the seat was going off, and i had close to 600bales left to bale. I was so sick off that tractor, we traded it in 2 weeks later
Yea, our semi-newish (6 years) tractor has a transmission error that pops up only when we use it for driving a cart. Dealer can't find the problem (we're small time farm too 320 acres at best so it's not from use). I thought the country was neat to see in video 2. Kinda beautiful imo.
I reckon it will be more efficient to send one drill and tractor to the 75mile field. All drills are loosing 2 days of seeding time, neverminding hours on the tractors.
Mike I love how much you work like UA-cam on top of the farm you guys have I’m surprised you find anytime to post videos. I run 6,800 acres of grain and 2,200 acres of hay and 300 head of cattle and I do not have time for anything literally I get to watch maybe one or two of your videos a week max. When I’m eating my lunch but also I am like you my lunch is I don’t know five-six thousand calories haha. Anyways I don’t even have time to watch your video I can’t imagine how you manage to make the videos. You must be an insomniac huh? Anyways more power to ya mike you really give farmers a good name some of the other UA-cam farmers make us all look bad because seriously some of them don’t seem to work at all. You have to admit the new technology is nice makes you do a much more accurate job but still this is exactly why I kept all my old equipment even though I have fully upgraded everything. 100% your right mike a cut sandwich is way better but also it has to be cut diagonal like you did not right in half they suck cut right in have only good diagonal;)
Pretty common thing if you buy a used air drill that is a ways from where you live , if you buy one hundred KM from your yard you can’t drive a tractor to get it so you get a semi.
@@olenilsen4660 prevents wear on a tractor it’s not a big difference but less wear on the tractors tires, transmission, engine etc as it costs a lot to fix a tractor and rebuild transmissions and diffs. Also about fuel efficiency and usage as tractors burn a lot of fuel in a hour. But it is mostly the wearing out of the machine.
@@coleholm7501 I know, but road wear pulling this empty should not be very tough on a tractor. And you´ll need one in the other end. I´m just curious what Mike´s reasons are.
@@olenilsen4660 It's is very tough on the tractors Tyres or tracks will over heat and start to get damaged Tracks especially cause they use the dirt in the field as lubrication so the can't fo fast or far on road When tyres coast a few k a peice amd tracks cost uo to 10k a peice you do want ever you can to reduce wear Also fuel usage would be be insane if you wind a tractor out to 20mph
Holy moly, that buzzing would drive me bonkers, I only just made it to the end of the video, your poor ears Mike, how on earth do you keep going with that racket?
I enjoy your videos and watching your operation. And sincerely enjoy the effort put into it. I got my 1st piece of fully computerized equip. this year and too “enjoy” the be***ing madness. Lol
Mike no need to apologise, grateful for the effort you put in to posting them, but the jobs more important 👍

Mike, I am thankful for all the videos you are doing. They are fun to watch and very educational. Thank you so much. God Bless you all.
Thanks Mike for sharing your pain with everyone
If these companies could just build the rest of the equipment as reliable and those damn alarms there would be no need for them alarms.
That's impossible the tractor built in America, and the alarms built in china
@@shanegauthier2896 so true
it's build to fail and increase dependance on dealer. That's how they make money.

Tape of the slots in front of the buzzer. This will dampen the annoying beeping noise A LOT, much more than you would think.
Or just pull it out 🤷♂️
Did you guys watch the video? He couldn't find the place to tape.
@@terrybraun4175 Yes I watched the video. @ 5:37 he talked about taping the sensor, not the buzzer, two completely different things.
@@ITubeTooInc My bad, I didn't catch he said sensor. Although I think he was referring to the buzzer.
Band-aid plaster from first aid kit works really well.

Ol Johnny Popper is driving Mike NUTS! LOL
Edit: Johnny Popper is also driving my dogs NUTS too
Geez, respect for trying to zone out that alarm for that long.
Have no idea how you stood the beeping all day ?? Wow ! I agree with you about the “ cut “ sandwich !!
Always bring some noise cancelling headphones and blast some music to drown out the noise from sensor faillures and stuff ratteling and breaking 😂
No lie! Ear plugs and ear muffs go with me everywhere.
If you cant hear it is it broken?
I’d rather work 36 hours when things are going well than 4 hours of that!
Lots of constant constant constant hours drives a guy crazy. I admire you Mike/your bro and the rest of your crew.
Thank you for feeding the world 🙏🙏🙏.
Should have "accidentally" sat on your cb handle so that noise was transmitted for all to enjoy lol.
Yeeeeesssss
it's not his colleague's fault tho :(
Typical of farming, it's one thing going wrong after another. Good luck with the rest of your seeding and take care!
Should of ask if you could use the ford tractor and give him the John Deere
Deeres have a beeper in the fuse panel. It’s shaped like a relay. Unplug that puppy lol

You should get led signs on the back of your drills/tractors tht say pass now/don't pass. Would be pretty funny and helpful all the same time.
Totally agree on the sandwich cut...
The part is here!!!
Holy crap Mike how did you put up with that noise. I would have just parked in a field and walked home 🤣
When your tractor starts throwing codes you just turn your radio up😂😂
Or put on cb so all hear
Just take an air horn into your John Deere dealer, hold the button down for four hours and see how they like it! I’m surprised some farmer hasn’t gone postal on a dealership yet!
The hone killed itself, it got tired of listing to that constant noise from the sensor.
Good pair of ear muff would save your ears in that situation and they are good for working with loud machinery.
Hello Mike if you still have any hearing . That is why I love the older machines without any computers ..
I already have my ears constantly ringing since I've been 15 years old
Yup, crazy Mike is back. The beeper broke him. 🥴😆🤣
Latest parts selling scheme from JD. The driveshaft has invisible (non-existent?) damage. we have to replace it to get the sensor to shut up.
