Lets all take a moment to appreciate Mike climbing all over these machines 1 handed for us to get the best view possible
It is literly a grown adult in a really expensive jungle gym
And he is lucky
🤚
It is easier to climb in Fendt 1050 than Zetor 7211
ooh fendt 2-track the cliffhanger, definitely wanna see that one show its power
Really like your attitude about farm equipment. My family has been harvesting since 1943, and I've heard the argument about what combine is best. The best combine is the one that you like to work on because they all break down.
Gotta be one of the best, and most true comments on the utubes. Same with cars and trucks. They all break down. Doesnt matter who or what it is.
That's so true, 😂😂😂
Cant wait for the Fendt track machine !!!! Funny how bearing work is the same the world over!!! Those jacks are actually boat anchors in training !!!
That is one hell of a planter
And it's the small one! 🤔😂
Those Bourgault rigs are monsters, they barely make tractors big enough to pull them 😂
Bourgault has a 100ft drill, talking about Monsters. Now all you need is the 800hp Tractor to pull it up the hills :D
@@TheDrumminguy do they even make 800hp tractors 😂
At this rate you're going to need a Big Bud 747 for real!
@@rubenbraekman4515 I don't think there is even a 700hp one in production right now as fsr as I know
You guys have your system down. Years of experience and your team will have everything ready to go! Can’t wait for the seed to start flowing. Thank’s Mike for taking us along.
Very tough working with one hand. You should check out the harmless farmer. He has no arms yet still drives tractors trucks and uses tools all with his feet. Lost both arms at the age of 2 yrs. He’s truly an inspiration to those out there who whine about hard work and not being able to do things.
Good morning Mike. Thank you for the tag along. Have a great Monday ❤️
A tip for when doing wheel bearings (especially heavy duty bearings that handle a lot of weight) put some gear oil in between the bearings in the bottom of the hub (before installing the outer bearing make a dam of grease at the bottom to hold the oil) it helps keep the grease flowing to the bearings instead of most of it sticking to the hub.
It works well I learned this doing maintenance on cane hauling equipment here in Australia, changing the grease on the two 10 tonne ( 4t weight and holds 10t) and one 14 tonne (9.5t weight and holds 14t) cane bins towed by tractors. I operated the 14t bin for 5 seasons (season lasts for 5-6 months straight a year) and I've only changed the bearings once for the wheels and they were changed 2 years before I started with the owner of the equipment.
Worth watching till the end just for that Fendt 2 track announcement! Fuck yeah!
When was announcement on video?
@@amir6391 in the last 5 seconds
I've never seen a fixed frame tractor with tripple wheels. That's awesome!
With big operation y’all have I’m surprised that you don’t have equipment sheds for all your machines
We all know weather is so hard on everything that stays outside
Great videos Mike
Love that grease packer. Can’t tell you how many wheel bearings I’ve packed by hand.
They are good with a power greaser on a large drum but if you have to use a hand gun with cartridges it is faster and easier to just do them the old way by hand.
23:16 Fendt 2 track comfirmed!! Will be making an appearance ayye nice looking forward to a mike review!!
Good luck with planting. We will plant a little later this year as my grandfather is in Critical condition right now he is usually the one that plants the most. This year will be my first year planting.
Edit: They are a bit expensive but if you are worried about overheating you should get a flir camera. (They are the people that make some of the Helicopter cameras) or some other cheaper thermal imaging camera.
Preventative maintenance can sure save you a lot of headaches later when you're busy seeding. You take care and have a safe planting season!
I hope the Fendt 2 track has the power to satisfy your needs and I hope it rides smooth too. Oh that 1050 looks so beefy with the triples on it. Thanks Mike
Hey Mike I just wanted to see if you ever looked at a company called “Steinbauer Performance “ they have a performance program for the 1050 supposedly puts it up to 637hp. Probably would find the next weakest link in a hurry though. Just a thought 🤷♂️👍
Now I know what you’re saying, “Mike, that’s a lot of weight to pull through the mud.” Well that’s why there’s triples and we’re drilling through frost. 🤣
I LIKE FENDT 1050 VARIO AND YOU!
Hopefully you get some spring rains to help with the depleted moisture in the ground
cant wait to see that Fendt 2 track in the field. maybe john deere will man up and send you a new 9RX to demo along side it :D
Might as well throw a New Holland T9 700 Smarttrax in there with it.
X9? That will never happen.. Remember Mike is unbiassed and will tell any truth and jd doesnt want to risk that.
@@steveflores4724 I'm sure he's biased just not to the extent of most. You never see any New Holland or Versatile (made in Canada) tractors on that farm whatsoever.
@carson wilson John Deere straight up lied to him.
@@professor_thunder the reason you don't see versatile is because full line ag in swift is his dealer and they're more concerned with getting Fendt equipment out and sold then versatile. Same as the dealer in my area. As for New holland, I don't think they cared if they brought him a demo or not, they deal with other huge farms in the area and have 3 times the dealer network as the MF, Fendt, Versatile dealer (Full line ag).
Hey mike
i Watched a old video vrom you.
I think I'm a bit the same guy as you, always a bit risky and with a lot of energy. I live in the Swiss Alps and always climbed trees or stones. Working on a large farm like you has always been my dream.
hi mike just wanted to say good luck with plant 2021 see you in 25 days once you are done planting
Dont think 25 days is enough time. Maybe for a 1/4 of Mike's 40000 acres. I'd say maybe halfway through June they would finish seeding.
@@edwinwarford4753 they'll probably be done June 10 or earlier. They'll probably be seeding a week or 2 earlier then last year also. Most of Saskatchewan will be since it's so dry.
Thats awesome that the new Fendt 2 track is going to make it out, i really want to see that in action.
The Beast gets hooked up. Fendt 1050 w/rear triples pulling the Bourgault is an awesome looking set up Mike. Cheers
buy synthetic grease for your wheel bearings mike, is well worth the investment, is a bit thinner grease how i explain is like warm molsases will flow but also works is a refillable grase gun but total advantage because bearings are in constant lubercation and stay cooler cause of it
yes worth every penny.
Mike:so i have to let you go, my battery is almost dead
Lee:accept it
That tractor is huge love the triples. Also that whole rig and setup is huge looks so cool and fun to drive
Mike, where has your lovely wife been hiding since Valentine’s Day? Good luck planting. Stay safe!
I just retired from driving municipal buses . It was not unusual to have any number of issues that were corrected by "shut the bus off at the battery switch" . Just a fact of life in today's technical world. Enjoy your videos!
Yes, perfect cliffhanger, the waiting is going to end soon! 😊
I love to drive those big monster tractors
Wish I could in USA , UK
You are such a legend Mike 👊👊
My mom comes over and every spring says the “Lawn mower is a great leveler of ruts, don’t worry.” Ugh.... I must not leave ruts, I tell myself every year to no avail..... she does love to mow...
I love using the Bourgalt seeder on farming simulator 19 . It's an awesome machine and I like using the Fendt 1050 instead of the John Deere 9rx. Love the videos Mike keep up the good work.
Love your videos Mike.the farm space is unreal for me,im from small country in mid europe.no trees ,hills ..nothing just huge empty space
600+HP FENDT can't wait
Excellent video and that Fendt look colossal all duded up with the extra tires and rims.
You should invest in a go pro and hot glue the mount on your hat so you can video and use both your hands
FYI the hair line fractures on the plastic hose on the drill is sun damage, but also cold weather damage plastic shrinks alot when its cold and you guys had some cold weather there this past winter, little trick to help prevent that, just a heads up it is a lot of work but disconect the hoses in the fall
That last quick mentioning of an 1100 coming to visit your farm ( maybe staying ) is exciting . I don´t know how two tracks are performing on your fields but we will see . They are beasts and sadly , very expensive .
You certainly know your way around a drill Mike!
When you started backing up to the cultivator or whatever that red one is, I first thought those where air sirens warning for a tornado. Damn, that's loud
Can't wait to see that Fendt MT in action
Emory cloth would clean those pipes up easy! What a huge drill!
Sometimes I’ll raise the front suspension to lower the draw bar. My boss has many machines with broken jacks
F.U.B.A.R!!🤣😂👍👌 Tango and cash I think that one!!lol.
Since these things are such a hard pull (I remember last year there were some hills even the Case /JD quads couldnt pull) I wonder if a manufacturer would make a cart w/ 100 hp pusher on the back, hydrostat or automatic trans to ensure tires synch with the powershift on tractor, but anyways it would add traction and power. Also, since it's simple trans it could be run by tractor
I have never seen that many bins ever in my life they definitely do it big
Love the 1050 with triples 😍
This set up is a total beast! Hopefully it pulls good this spring.
Good luck planting!
Mad idea Mike,
But how about getting a engine hydraulic power unit to run the fans on the cart, it would Free up a few HP on the 1050 for pulling
Too complicated
Hi Mike, very nice job 👍 you and the team.
Excited to see the two track and Mike’s impression of it. Sure is being hyped up. Is it the big beast?
Wasn’t there two 1050s on the farm or am I imagining that?
Some day would love to learn more about how y'all stay organized: three brothers, various Franks, how does everyone keep rowing in the same direction every day all day?! Morning huddle? Job board?
Great idea. Would love to see this also. Morning debrief video?
@@sanmarino_cs1698 Pictures Frankles raising his hand "ah Mike... I've got a question"
I was wondering... do you have any part-time/seasonal workers, or is everybody you hire part of your standard crew? Btw good to hear about the Fendt 2-track, already looking forward to it!
Just remember i was here when he had only 100.000 subs
The 1050 is such a good lookin tractor. Wish you could get your hands on a 1167 Vario or 620 AFS demo this year.
Find a replacement jack with a grease fitting, will save it from seizing up.
Also I cant believe a drill that big doesn't have a hydraulic jack on it.
The drill is actually fully supported by all its wheels and why its considered to have a “floating hitch”. The jack only has to support a couple hundred pounds since it pivots on the main frame and why it only needs a light duty jack. Also in this case a hydraulic jack would add another circuit to an already full hydraulic system for most tractors to handle.
Looking forward to seeing the twotrack fendt showing up! Is it the 1167? 😁
If you are a good welder, you can purchase just the spindles and weld them in place of the old spindles.
For anyone wondering why they have to replace the hoses so much and why the hoses have holes let me explain. This happens because of the seed the seed is blown through those hoses at very high speeds much like a sand blaster so I guess this would be a seed blaster. 😀
Funny how monster machinery like this has essentially the same tongue jack 2:18 as my 6x10 cargo trailer. 😄with so many electronics do you have a master disconnect to avoid parasitic drain on the battery?
Mike! There is a rat running under your cart at 12:55!
We don't have rats... But we do have gophers, also known as the Richardson ground squirrel
@@mikemitchell2554thanks, I googled them. Gophers looks much nicer then rats...
Mike you should look into the Recon wireless blockage system just installed one on our drill very easy and works amazing.
You guys should tune that 1050 up abit and see how it runs then, half way through planting
When is that new fendt 673 horsepower two track showing up ?
That thing would be awesome, wonder if it would lose traction on Mike's hills
@@rubenbraekman4515 anything can lose traction if you don`t weight it up, or put a too big drill behind it.
Woodchuck must have gone for a ride 12:51.
enjoyed the video mike looking forward to the planting
Wonder if you could get a battery post cleaner Big enoughfor cleaning those adapters of fertilizer.
Excellent idea!!
Our massey fergusons have never gave us ad blue problems yet all our cars and trucks have so thats something
I have a 2013 massey ferguson 7624 with 6700 hours on it. It has never had one single emissions error code. We do run in cold weather but not as cold as Mike
I've never clicked that quick à notification when i saw the Thumbmail ! Seeeeeding topic !
at 12:47ish... was that a bunny rabbit running betweeen the cart and drill.... or a rat... or chubacobra !!??
Hé Mike. 16:48 the black hoses are better protected against UV light so that they are less likely to break
Case just got in a 670 prototype into the Fargo plant and production starts in 2023.
you got a source for that?
@@Matt___B I know someone who works there, and they were not aloud to take photos of it.
@@FrostDeka interesting...
i wonder what 670hp base would boost too,.. 740??
@@Matt___B yeah idk, all the specs are “classified” but they had to enlarge the cooling system making the hood bigger so I’m guessing it pushes a few ponies.🤔🙂
Hi Mike, have you figured out how far extra you will walk for the season, walking around those triples? :)
I have a question
That farm looks huge and super expensive
Who is the owner of this farm? Some company owns it or just an individual?
For your farm equipment tires have you ever used tire ject to fix a flat and let it run for the season. It does work it's a European product but works well, one lonely farmer uses it a lot and it hasn't fail to fix a flat.
lol in Australia that is...
Frank is better to do bearing than me ahaha
Great awesome video mike,
Your 1050 it's a bad ass 😀
Its a funny thing Brand Loyalty it nearly always is handed down and one brand over another has very little difference they all break and they all need fixing
Omg 1 seeder has such maintenance.
Will the triples interfere with the turning radius? The front tires on the drill look awful close to contacting the triple in a sharp turn. Or is the tongue long enough on the drill that itll only hit if you jack knife?
Don't have to turn very sharp when you're planting 68 feet wide 🙂
Those big air drills never cease to amaze me.
That is a fancy pipe cutter!!
Good stuff
Random question cause I'm completely amazed by the sheer size of basically everything (machinery, fields etc.): how far do you guys usually have to drive to get to the field you will cultivate, harvest and so on?
Between 0 - 80 miles give or take ...most around 0- 35 miles.. Driving is just second nature
@@mikemitchell2554 Holy shit. So it takes you half an hour up to an hour on average to get to the field. How long is a normal work day?
@@nairamize4996 oh longer... We love at 17mph on the road..
March 16th my birthday
Hey Mike, from a fellow Mike myself, I have a question. Is the farm a family farm or one of those communal farm group things? And yes I agree, get as much fertilizer in your eyes as possible. Something about me and getting stuff in my eyes. It never, ever fails... I try so hard to keep my eyes out of the line of fire and always wear safety glasses or goggles yet stuff always ends up in my eyes... I was welding once, slightly out of position, with a helmet on and safety glasses but somehow a piece of spatter slag ended up in my eye... I had to go to the eye doctor and get my eye scraped... Terrible and would not recommend.
Use a piece of emery cloth to get the fertilizer off.
Our 2017 John Deere tractor has hydraulic problems with number one hydraulic scv
The residual on seed tubes you try to dislodge, isn’t that actually seed colorant for rhizome seed protection for early planting. Mike where are your pliers.....
The jack will be good as new if you just soak it in WD40 or some other thin oil. What I don´t get is why you don´t have a hydraulic hitch, or some sort of self-centering coupler for your equipment? This tow bar is about 500 years old... Do you have any options when you order new stuff?
Jacking up that bogie should be no sweat. Jack up the blown side, put a wedge in the other. Or if you need to remove the bogie, just place the jack on the front or rear lip that the bolt mounts to. I don´t see a problem with this.
Love
Mike, so did you lose a different tractor? The case quad replaced the fendt last year, so I guess I’m wondering why you’re running the fendt, or wondering about your tractor situation. Thanks!
some people want a Ferrari if they win the lottery - i want a 1050 with triples 😁
12:50. Did anyone else see the squirrel run under the tractor?
