MIKE - You do have the best sub's on youtube! Ive been here since you were around 70k, I cant beleleive how fast youve reached 143k ! Almost 50k in 6 months. You are picking up steam on YT and i couldnt be happier. You have a great channel and i think I speak for most of us when I say, we love following you around and watching your absurd-ness. I follow all the bigger farm tubers, but you are pretty much my favorite and ive seen every single YT video youve ever posted.
I put Alliance 550 tires on my tractor to replace the Titan R4 factory tires. Could not be happier with the ride comfort increase and the massive traction increase! I can not wait to see how those front tires last for you!
This is cool, I had the same guy and truck come out to my farm a few months ago to do some tires on our old international. I live just outside Moose Jaw so he definitely didn’t need to drive as far.
OMG John the tyre guy is a keeper, that service he gives is first class, do you think he’ll come to Australia 🇦🇺 and teach our tyre monkeys a thing or two about service.

You will have your reason dude. Starting the big rig with your foot on the clutch. I was taught that that put drag on the starter motor and also pushes the crank against the thrust bring which isn't getting lubricated till the oil pressure comes up. Cool channel Dude 😎👍
Mike, have you considered rotating the back tires on the seeder from time to time? Since the nipples are still on the left side I would think switching them with the ditch side would prolong the life of all 4
Those tires carry a heck of a lot of load and strain, pulling, pushing, torsion flex up and down and sidehill. Wow, when you think how hard those tires are worked, 6 yr's isn't bad.
VF actually means Very High Flexion and it can take +40% load at the same pressure, or -40% pressure at the same load. CFO means Cyclic Field Operation and is a name for a technology that allows higher loads for shorter periods, as a combine or chanser bin. Thanks for Great videos!

those little thinges at 9-00 they are known as sprew that is the vent bits when the rubber is in the mold they let the air out and the molton rubber move into the mould.
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact, that you moved your drill and sprayer a distance like from the one end of Denmark to the other end..... And I can’t even imagine a route for the move of the drill.
I'm from Finland and when we were on a holiday trip in Denmark. We couldn't believe how short distances from place to place were there. We were like: we can't already be there? 🤯😂
@@mikeznel6048 He complimented John. The 'but' is clearly meant to be a 'by'. He also complimented his local tyre dealer although I suspect his intention was more to demonstrate the difference in scale. In this instance, I don't think you need to be so defensive and go on the offence. Although admittedly, Mark could have made his point clearer so that we don't need to second guess.

Mike. You need to talk real slow to the air drill manufacturer engineers and explain “oil bath bearings” the success stories of highway transport can’t go un noticed With those 445 bud wheels recently installed on a axles luke the 16 wheel lowboys use it’s good for the life of the drill
Completely depends on your spacing, options, fold up or fold back, banders or shanks or/and side band, or how many if any blockage sensors or how many tanks metering, saddle tank? Boom lift? Rear hitch? Sectional control? And the list goes on.. Just priced a 100ft and it pretty much a 1M cash 😳 = no thanks haha
@@mikemitchell2554 yep, i most likely built that one here in Ontario, cranked out 208 trucks in two 10 hr shifts. Worked in the back shop fixing problems that happened when built. Most was just bad air/wire routing issues or putting on parts that didn’t get done online. Crappy part, company closed that plant in 2009 and now it’s a flat piece of land, and it’s all moved to Mexico
@@mikemitchell2554 Guess not :). It's done because of less rolling resistance (therefore also less heat generation) and also less wear (more relevant on concrete/tarmac). At least in the EU some farmers mount the front wheels on their front wheel assist tractors due to these reasons backwards.
Very few guys seem to realize that when they don't push in the clutch when starting you needlessly turn the truck's tranny - I see you know that trick.
Mike, I have a question. Maybe this has been asked and answered before but why are the drill and cart tires backwards as far as the chevrons compared to the tractor?
@@CiaranNolan901 No problem, glad to help. If you're interested in prices on other equipment there's a site called Tractorhouse, similar to an autotrader for cars and pickups. It's an American site but there is some stuff from Canada and other countries.
You would think that yes.. But the main farm is 565+ km south and it will warm up and dry off there first. Could have half the south farm in before you could turn a wheel up north
Yeah it's crazy! It all depends on what spacing you want, banders VS shanks.. Side band as well as mid row? Or how many tanks metering or Sectional control, how many of any blockage sensors and the list goes on.. Fold back drills or fold up 🤣 I just priced a 100ft and it came out at 995K cash.. And I was cutting out options 🤷🏻♂️
Mike how much did you expand in Wishart? Did you find that spreading out and getting more acres per year on your equipment is helping or are you about maxed out?
@@mikemitchell2554 i build them for a living in Australia and we partially disable them and put them on flat top semi trailers look at your high float front end your see it actually folds up for that reason
Love listening to people like John who are experts in their field. I know nothing about tires but could listen to him all day
John is the VF version of a normal tire guy
Lmao…
20% more capacity 😅
Both the tyre guys i've seen on this channel seem to know the answer to everything, its great to see people with such a great knowledge

You meet the nicest guys on your farm. Radial tires are definitely the way to go. Better and longer wear.

I put Alliance 550 tires on my tractor to replace the Titan R4 factory tires. Could not be happier with the ride comfort increase and the massive traction increase! I can not wait to see how those front tires last for you!
Thank goodness for people like John who give our farmers such good support.

“Goodyear Tires” good for one year. That’s funny!
If you are a farmer, you can relate. Goodyear are not very good agricultural tyres.
I agree. Wouldn’t stand by their warranty. Won’t buy them ever again.
It’s not funny. It’s TRUE
@@jazko I have a good friend that flew airplanes for Titan International. They use the Goodyear name, but not actually part of Goodyear tire company. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_Tire_Corporation
Goodyear use to be a respected brand, until they shipped everything offshore and lost quality control.
Great praise to John. Managing these tires every day in different environments requires the right person in the right place 💪💪

Exactly my thought. John = Rainman of tires!
Good for one year; I love it
Do they recommend airing up tires for the road? Some Nuhn manure spreaders you can air up on road and when get to field you can deflate for compaction
those little thinges at 9-00 they are known as sprew that is the vent bits when the rubber is in the mold they let the air out and the molton rubber move into the mould.
Old dogs can learn new tire stuff, it's educational watching these videos.

Saskatchewan isn’t that bad. Avoid Regina and any other city for the overpasses and plan around narrow crossings.
Nearly spat my 🍵 tea out when you mentioned Goodyear, "good for one year" 👍
Whatcha plantin Mike ? Havent got to see a canola harvest yet . But we did get to watch some burn !
Excellent and informative video......:)
John looks like he could have hooked a rope to the drill and pulled it there by hand. Lol
500km move!
That's just over half way between eastern coast capital cities in Australia.
When you're a big guy like myself and this gentleman, overalls are th eonly way to go for working in.
I’d rather try losing the weight. Just better for everything
I believe those rear tires are possibly what Seedhawk uses.
Nice video Mike, very informative 👍. I assume you rotate the ditch side tyres with the outside ones every now and then.
That is a good tire company to come like that dang you guys do some moving if you don’t watch it mike you will put move miles than acres hahaha
Nice tires on the brrrrrr go lol
So mike buy you a glass weld kit you can fix the windshield before the crack runs
310 miles plus the 75 miles from home, glad your moving it and not me
would rotating the tires help with wear on the tread
Maybe you should only move at night when temperatures are down
Pretty sure John just commanded those tires on the rims and there was no argument...
Ha! 🤣
Awesome job but John from Fountain tyres. Here in the UK I had a tractor tyre blow one evening and our local tyre guy was in the field in 30 minutes.
And? The dude drove almost 4 hours to change the tires. What do you want?

Mike - because the tyres have changed on the seeder bar... does that alter seeding depths slightly?
John is about 3 of you Mike that is why he can change them tires by himself lol.
He sure had his numbers down tho..
G'day Scruffy
@@Murphyslawfarm howdy Murphy
Lol Mike. “I enjoy pushing stuff to its limit”
You might want to set that philosophy aside when it comes to your wife lol.
Why do the treads on "pulled" equipment go in the opposite direction as those of the tractor that is pulling it?
Because of less rolling resistance (therefore also less heat generation) and also less wear (on concrete/tarmac)
One way is traction the other is compaction.
Any reason not to bring up 60 foot instead of 80 foot drill as would be less weight to move as well as less weight on transport tires?
The 1300bu cart haha..
If you changed size of the wheel, did you or did not have the adjust seeding depth as well?
He would not, the seed depth is based on the little pushing wheels at each separate shank.
How many plai have thoose new tires,🤔
Heck of a distance to go seeding! Will combines be making same journey?
Is your farm one block or spread out?
