Mike, have you tried pumping the water out of the sloughs and water a part of the field. Not to make a bumper crop, but more so just have something to harvest for seed next year?
Mike here we roll when the crop is tillering. Gives the plat a chance to get past the seeding ridge and if it’s too dry to roll then it buys time for rain? Just a thought.
Hey mike love your Channel an all the great information you explain, have you got any rain yet, i really wann see you guys get a boomin crop like what year was it, 2020 or something, thanks for sharing, i was just wondering if yall got any much needed rain yet
Who put all those silly poles out in the middle on nowhere? Come on power company, bluetooth that electricity so Mike can roll his fields and not have a mini heart attack everytime Will gets way too close to one :)
@@mikemitchell2554 Mike, just an idea for ya. Try pulling the roller behind the seed/fert cart when you are drilling/seeding the low harvested crops peas/lentils to do the job in one fell swoop instead of having to go over the field again with a roller. I want to see a long train of machinery going across the field. Rollers pull fairly easy, maybe a few more horses would be needed for the longer train but it would be worth trying.
@@mikemitchell2554Mike you should plan ahead and bring a lawn chair and fishing pole to field when you know there are standing puddles in field and checking up on the crew. It would give them a good laugh 😂

Why don't you use center pivot sprinklers on the south farm seams like a few center pivots would make up for loses on the rest of the farm it would even out at some point just wondering take care have a successful year Thanks

The problem is our rollor length do not match the drill width.. And to pull a 85ft rollor plus the length of teh drill, we would never get it around our roads and in our approaches
@@mikemitchell2554 Get a roller the same width or a tad more than the width of the drill and have steerable wheels on the roller for turning around corners when it is folded. Similar steering idea as the big 100 foot Bourgault drill. As well, you could get rid of the packer wheels on the drill and drag a bar or a length of angle iron behing the openers the same width as the drill to help fill in the seed trenches and then the roller coming behind would do the packing.
@@John-nc4bl I appreciate your feedback, but I simply couldn't pull it. Takes min 250hp to pull a 80-90 ft rollor - and I simply can't pull the drill I have now, yet alone give up an additional 250hp.
@@mikemitchell2554 Again Mike, thanks for your reply. I didnt think that it would take that many horses to pull a 80-90 ft roller on level ground. Hilly ground, yes I would think. The diameter of the barrels would affect the HP reqd. In my estimation, machinery is going to increase in size as time goes on. 62ft combine heads now with that GTS Brazilian head and they will probably go to 70 ft in a few more years. RAIN,RAIN, RAIN.
this dont do anything, the perfect machine for this is the roller with something like Kverneland ACTIROLL but there is a lot companys that make this type of cylinder, doing excelent job fast with minimum fuel

I love watching your channel. You’re so informative and just a pleasure to watch.👍👍🚜🚜🚜
So happy to see the farming done with the whole family together, Ashton is back
Mike, have you tried pumping the water out of the sloughs and water a part of the field. Not to make a bumper crop, but more so just have something to harvest for seed next year?
I do hope your rains came in time to get your crop going.
God Bless
How long before farmers are blamed for flat earth, i mean we have videos of them doing it....😁
It's good to see the operation just keep rolling along
Here in Camrose, Alberta ... fields are a total mess for wet...very concerning

Great awesome video Mike , too much rain here in Eastern Ontario
Too much on south western Ontario aswell
Great video Mike
Great seeding videos. Can’t say enough about that Bouch Bomb with 38 secs left in game 4. Go Oilers Go!
Epic
A lot of torque in the frame😊
Mike don"t micromanage that guy . he is doing great just let him go.
No kidding let the man work!
I'm pretty sure he just about hit that pole👀
Have u been catching any rain at south farm yet ?
So happy that Ashtyn is back in the saddle!! and in a Red machine too ;)
She has been back in the tractor for awhile now.
We have had a little over 11 inches of rain since the 3rd week in April. Planting is on hold here.
In the same area as Mike?
How are you liking the 516? Thinking about getting one for a smaller planter and side dressing rig
Hey mike love your Channel an all the great information you explain, have you got any rain yet, i really wann see you guys get a boomin crop like what year was it, 2020 or something, thanks for sharing, i was just wondering if yall got any much needed rain yet
Hey Mike, love your videos. Just curious but is irrigation used very much in your area or is it just too dry?
No source of water here, we have 2 deep wells that go down to the Judith Basin at 750ft each, and it's very high in salts.
We’ve had an abundance of rain over the last few weeks here in Tennessee.
Fendt handles it great.
god bless your efforts mike.wishing you the best during this growing season
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur fent et le rouleau est bien grand 😂😮😅😊
Did you get any rain out of that system around 5th To 10th of May ?
Yes, around 3in

Mike sees a tire without half the sidewall on the ground “Wayyy too much air!”
😆 True!

Looked like a few big rock
We got rain today in alberta. May 15th hopefully u have gotten some. And yes I know ur behind in videos
whenever you go from point A to point B just select fast travel and the desired vehicle and viola! you spawn straight inside the cab.
👍
Dose your air seeder hare roller wheels?
Ouch,those noises 😳
Clay or sandy soils up there?
The only guy I know that has such a small tractor on a roller like that 😂 meanwhile we have fendt 930 on a 45ft
Do you ever add water to those rollers?
Looks to me that as of April 30, the drought situation in your area is comparable to that of 2022....
The paddock needs to be pinwheel raked to get rid of the rocks.
Why don't you use center pivot sprinklers on the south farm seams like a few center pivots would make up for loses on the rest of the farm it would even out at some point just wondering take care have a successful year Thanks
They don't have enough ground water for pivots.
Yep. No water
Irrigate Mike from the big dam
As a pro driver i say trust his gut, hi seem a natural
How fast can you pull the roller and it still do a good job? 6, 8, 10 mph?
We pull it at 8mph

You can unfold those land rollers driving forward,
Strange that the tires stick out farther than the rollers while rolling, could get closer to the poles if they weren't.
With all that standing water have you ever thought about some kind of portable irrigation unit
Probably cost way too much.
Takes about 23,000 gallons to put an inch of water on 1 acre
🔥👊🔥🔨🏍🚜⚙️
Do you fill it with water to make it heavier and roll rocks better?
Now could you use your self propelled sprayer and your spray trailer and just load it with water??
What colony is will from
Have you had rain since you taped this. Heard you got rain
Did you finally get your rain today
Why not use a cambridge roller?

Apparently we aren’t worried about compaction.
Can you fill the rollers with water to makebthem heavier?
morning
Is there any use farming this land ???
Why bother. ??
😆 That's the good land!
Can you not get irrigation water from the Diefenbaker dam
I flew over south Sask a few times and you would see the irrigation circles
Why is the image quality only 480p?
Where's will from
His mother gave birth to him.😂🤣😂
why not fill the rollers with water for a bit more weight
With the amount of water ways you have why don't you pond it all and spread it on the fields
I think your roller needs more weight
this dont do anything, the perfect machine for this is the roller with something like Kverneland ACTIROLL

Not sure about this, you start talking about rolling land then start on dogs, but l never saw any puppies in the video.
Sounds like dragging a trash can
Rolling much too fast ??
