Love our claas axion 930 from 2013 most reliable tractor we ever had 12,500 hours in never had any repairs to either engine or gearbox most expensive thing is we renovated the front axle.
To answer the question regarding the auto greaser and what if lines are blocked, at 16:15 you can see the the 2 blocks for the lube system (connected by the hoses), the left one looks to be an progressive valve which is basically an mechanical divider for lubricants (or liquids in general). Basically a progressive valve only lets a specific amount of grease out of one port at a time and after a specific amount has been dispensed through the port the valve moves onto the next port, this avoids the issue of "if one line is restricted then it gets nothing" because a specific amount MUST go through. But if one port is blocked then all of them are blocked (unless there are relief valves installed) but these valves can be fitted with a sensor that indicate when a valve has gone through a full cycle but yeah that brings us to "yet another sensor" situation. Also manual indicators for blockages do exists.
@@massimopecile9666 New Hollands are great for whenever you need to replace parts, they´re pretty easy to work on. Buy a Claas and you won´t have to...
Lee is trying to sell the product and Mike keeps pointing out what's bad and what's probably not good,lmao. Mike still has the bossy relationship with Lee.
On the grease banks, you need to hook up a grease gun to it in the off season and run grease through it and check each place where the come out. Worked with a guy at John Deere that did that on choppers in his inspection work. Was very thorough in checking to make sure all was working properly.
Hey Mike, wondering if you heard that Big Bud is back with a 640 - 750hp tractor with a Caterpillar drive train? 70,000 lb frame. Beyond that customized to what the farmer wants . Rome MFG building it for Big Equipment Co. Supposed to be one at the conex/conag show in Vegas in March.
I can recall Mike talking about a fridge light wrecking his night vision and thus he favoured the subtlety of the fridge operation indicator LED inside the unit rather than door operated light.
Mike, The Claas Xerion tractors are made in Germany. All other models are made in France at the old Renault Ag plant. They use Fiat Power Train (Iveco) engines the same as Case IH and New Holland. I remember you mention once a problem with engine failures on red equipment. Just FYI.
@@elizabethliska5377 could have been included, Mike gave a quick list of problems and I only remember the engine failures. Case IH is now owned by an automotive group that I consider untrustworthy. JMO
There seem to be two solutions to the seat sensor problem. 1) Bridging with a resistor, 2) Adding some foam in the seat. ZK Mastertech channel did show how to do that. Can't find the correct video.
Good to see you two, starting up your comedy routine again. That tray is for your chewing gum, instead of putting it under the seat. I'm surprised your wife let you out in public, especially with Lee.
RE: fridges - in my experience, just take a calzone from a conoco in 2001 Lone Wolfe Oklahoma, set it on the buddy seat(of a TR99), and feast for breakfast, lunch and supper, and be happy. BE HAPPY MIKE, those memories need to last you past the last of white gravy country, until you get to the Tastee freeze in Circle MT.
Hey Mike. Love the videos and watching you farm. Have a look at a fellow youtuber Ollyblogs who just toured the Class factory and had a look through a 2023 model. Some great footage.
Mike the man with the string and weight is making sure the pole is 90 degrees from horizontal to ensure less problems in future … the man had a (plum bob) in English.
If I ever want to sell a combine in North America, I´ll make sure to really litter that cab with cup holders. Every available space would contain a cup holder. You guys would never even consider another combine after that ;D
Hi Mike. It's nice to see Lee again. As for the secret box at 9:29 in this video, it looks a lot like the ashtray in European machines. Cars tractors ect. Nice video keep it up. I really like this.
i got to test one the damn good but it has one problem the hitch if you use a Euro style one it sits so far it it limits your turning circle its not bad with the pin hitch like what that has but it realy needs to have the whole hitch section move back like the JD 8RX. also its time there controls where updated there not bad but once you use a Fendt One system the others feel lacking.
Xerion is unique platform, of course you could use it as puller, but there are porbably better machines out there. But can you put 6000 or 8000l seed tank on 1050 or Quad track? No, you can't. Also unique is crab steer or reversible cabin, rigid frame. Would I buy it? Porbably no as i don't have use case for it.
Ahh good times, takes me back to the crop show where I get to look at equipment I can’t afford lol. 😂 But I would take that new New Holland combine they had there, twin rotor life.
Seen you at the kicking around the fendt booth when we were there! Lol oh your question on the auto greaser if there is a plug or a line malfunction it will tell you on cebis screen also you can manually grease the machine from a port by the auto greaser canister.
The fridges on the John Deere’s (X9 and S series) are openable from the front and top, by putting up your buddy seat.. I personally wouldn’t like the only way for me to get my sodas to tell my buddy to get up.. just my opinion..
Sorry to say, but Lee hasn’t that much knowledge about the machine. Steering column is telescopic, just pull the same lever for knicking towards you. The lever goes both ways. And about the safety rail upside; you are supposed to walk on the rear bonnet. There is nothing there, you saw the sticker by the way. Just pull a simple lever and the whole green bonnet on the right side is turning into a safe walk path with side rails. The same thing by the engine compartment, there are also integrated footsteps to walk inside the grain storage compartment. Yeah, with side rails of cours. The side panels are steel, not fancy plastic. OK the fuel tank is plastic, that is true, because of weight issues. But there is an integrated safety technique for that: the engine cooler is horizontal placed and takes it’s fresh air from upside. That means, there is always fresh air floating from upside to the ground, also behind the panels. This keeps your machine ‘clean’, keeps the dust on the ground and prevents overheating. What other brand has that nice feature?! Just don’t judge a machine in two minutes and over a fancy cupholder. The machine has so much nice und unique technique to offer, let some with knowledge explain it to you..
If it has a cigarette lighter AND an ashtray, then you are supposed to smoke in it. it will be the auto greaser and plastic fuel tank that kills you, not the cigarettes.
Lets admit you are a busy man, but you might have to consider reaching out to renew your friendship with Lee. You seemed to have a lot of fun over the years. A get together with wives and kids could give you chance to just be. If Lee's kids are a little older they might be clamoring to play with/take care of Chapel to give the parents time to talk and just be. Time files by so fast.. Don't mis the chance to renuew.
Nice to see Lee Again. Some of the Claas Combine parts looked like afterthoughts. Auto greasing system looks nice but I agree it would be hard to verify if everything was working properly or you had one or two grease lines plugged up. Thanks for the video, Mike.

I like that! A neat solution
mike I think lee should come and demo a class combine at your place this year that would be good ,good to see the banter between you two
Most definitely mike should support lee
And a new holland or case too, maybe better new holland because have a class 10
I'm pretty sure Lexion or any other manufacturer would be scared to death to have Mike demo their equipment. LOL.
@@massimopecile9666 New Hollands are great for whenever you need to replace parts, they´re pretty easy to work on. Buy a Claas and you won´t have to...
We made the moulds for the main track wheels on that Claas half-track here at AM Tooling in Denmark 😁
Good to see Lee again. It's just like he never left.
Love to see the back & forth banter between Mike & Lee
Videos keep flooding in. Thanks :)
Mike its time to test some of the Class Equipment out in the field to see how it performs. Would be nice to see you try the Versatile range too.
Terra track is very smooth. On that tractor you can lift or lower back of tractors, That track has suspension.
You need to get a claas combine out on demo this harvest
👍💪
Lee is trying to sell the product and Mike keeps pointing out what's bad and what's probably not good,lmao.
Mike still has the bossy relationship with Lee.
Still Claas is the Company that sells the most Combines.

I ran the first claas combine back in the day when they first came to Canada , my brother in law bought one from Littles Implements in vermilion ab
Good to see Lee!
Glad to see Lee. Like seeing a old friend. Does he miss plowing snow with Ernie?
Nice to see Lee again. We missed him. Love the vids Mike keep em coming 👌
Great to see Lee again! I hope he’ll come by sometime on your farm :) maybe a day in a (class demo) combine :)

@@lynwessel2471ikr. The bot got lost.
Lee, the brother from another mother 😂 👌🏼🇬🇧
That little compartment on the Claas combine is an ashtray. The serrated part on the left internal side is for stubbing cigarettes out.
I saw the lexion last year at the ag show in Louisville KY last year really nice machine.
Mike there's two types of people those that have a Claas and those that wish they had a Claas. 🤣🤣🤣
👍
👍🤣
Punctuation, the difference between

I can recall Mike talking about a fridge light wrecking his night vision and thus he favoured the subtlety of the fridge operation indicator LED inside the unit rather than door operated light.
That small flip open tray in front of the controls is for toll booth change 😁. Always love your content Mike, never miss a vid.👍
Nice looking tractor
Nice to see Lee again hopefully he comes around!
Cmon Mike ,help your buddy out and order 6. All you'll need.
I think that small flip out compartment in front of the control arm is for your cigarette buts
Yeah mate, it’s an ashtray
Smoking in a combine is a helpful idea to get a new one paid by the insurance 🤣🤣
The steering wheel on that combine looks like it belongs on Chapels Tonka toy!
The whole combine looks like a Chinese knockoff of a Tonka toy.
Entertaining, thank you.

Magnifique vidéo et le claas 930 à chenille et la moissonneuse batteuse claas
Mike I appreciate the frequency of your videos.
Keep it up.
Well done.
well, Mike, that is the first time i have seen you enter a tractor without taking your sneakers off... 😊😊
Hey Mike, you should really test one of these puppies. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
👍👌
LOL 4:47, turn massage seat on now. Too funny!
The little box thingy in front of the arm rest is a ash tray.
That has to be a hard sell to you on that Claas Mike, you had almost no issues with the machine😂
My sympathies Lee! 😆
Awesome video
The MAN engine is probably one of the best on the market
Not probably, it is one of the best. There's a reason why they're everywhere. Basically the ls motor of the ag world

How about the new 2023 Big Bud Mike?
The little door in front of the console is an ashtray.
MAN stands for Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, we finished the diesel engine for rudolf diesel as he ran out of funds…

Claas are great. Not my money but I would def buy one over other brands. They are fairly popular down here in US
Yip Claas are leaders when it comes to harvesting, they are reliable and efficient, ergonomically built for the operator.
@@stakman78 Terra Trac are awesome aswell
How cool they put an ashtray
MAN =Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, so Mike says it corectly. Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel engine working vor MAN
Wee all need a class xerion & lexion on your side 🤗
Speaking of the new combine, Mike, did you think about Nexat maybe?
There’s no chance, it’s not green and doesn’t have John Deere written on the side
@@paulbrown4850 yep, sad to see so much of it on the farm.
Nothing smells like a John or runs away like a deere
Your hiding spot for Lee's candy is most likely an ash tray?
half a finger ashtray damn thats gonna be filled quick after a days work😆
Lee should hook you up with a claas demo at the north farm maybe he can run it beside the x9
Hi Mike. It's nice to see Lee again. As for the secret box at 9:29 in this video, it looks a lot like the ashtray in European machines. Cars tractors ect.
Nice video keep it up. I really like this.
The steering wheel telescopes. Undo centre of wheel like older JD tractors.
Last time we saw Lee was on the north farm on a toilet...
Mike you are a squirl LOL Let Lee answer a question. Other than that good video

John Deere cabs suck. ALL of them!!
The end of the armrest "candy space" i think it is for ash if you smoke
He can pull the sausage off your bread! 💪🏻
Are you going to demo one come harvest this year now that you've got insider access?
Why are the rear tires on backwards on the claas combine? The tread is facing the wrong way.
It is built that way on purpose like his air drill tires. They do not plug up with dirt in the tread if run backwards.
@@elizabethliska5377 ok but it's a 4WD combine and with the tires like that you lose traction
Claas are proper machines
Ahh good times, takes me back to the crop show where I get to look at equipment I can’t afford lol. 😂 But I would take that new New Holland combine they had there, twin rotor life.

Essential when going through maccas drive throughs and highway toll gates 😆

Good call for Claas: When it's working
Its an ash tray (little compartment)
Do I hear a LeeXion demo?
That's pretty crazy to see of ash tray for cigarettes and a cigarette lighter in a claas combine
It’s for the medicinals!!
Claas knows its EU customers are still stuck in the 40s and chainsmoke tirelessly.
This is a dangerous situation 😳
M.A.N for sure. German quality ;)
Mike - ya been withouot human contact for too long == hauling canola in the middle of the nite
The tractor with those mini-tracks looks odd and a lot of problems ahead
Holy crap Mike did you drink a 6 pack of red bull before this lol
