I always have my emergencies on when I’m roading and don’t always use my blinkers since I have those but had one time I was turning into a narrow county road entrance with a wide plow not knowing I had a cop behind me and I only saw when I made it into the road as I was too busy watching my turn.
Your Father-in-law must be a great guy. It is one thing to take his daughter but he gets grandkids so he can deal with that. But you also took one of his best equipment operators and he still lends you his truck. That is impressive.
I always hit the LIKE 👍 button before I even open the video. History (almost two years) tells me it’s a certainty that I’ll enjoy the content. Even the road trips are worth ‘riding along’
LOL "mike dead man walking". I told you to be careful around her right now. ROFL. The right person at the controls, smart of you to stay out of the way and let the expert run the machine. Good Job Ashtyn. Go easy on him, he can't help himself.
Mike, you seem to be a fine young Man. Personality plus. I wish you an Ashton all the best with your the birth of your first child. Mike, you know about safety around equipment. My friend you are taking chances to get these pictures that we all enjoy but, think of your lively Wife and newborn on the way. It only takes ONE SLIP and Ashton would be raising that little sweetheart alone. It’s not worth it. Have a Blessed day my young friend !
The fact that your sales guys get out of their pickup is impressive. Down here it’s more of a we take your money and if you need help then you call the shop. Lol.
Get over the X9 deal. I don't know where he read it last year but my son read that the combine that Mike and MANY others were scheduled to demo was sent to a big producer in I think it was Kentucky to replace a x9 that burned. Mike isn't the only one that didn't get to demo an X9 last summer. Mike had the option to demo a Claas and an X9 this year but he didn't take them because of the poor quality crops.
@@delbutler885 ok not sure where the x9 thing came from. I’m an actual farmer that runs John Deere stuff and our salemen never help with anything that’s outside of the ac. Then the shop guys have to come out and then the shop guys get pissy at the sales guys because they aren’t getting paid or whatever. It’s kind of a John Deere thing down here in the south. Don’t really care much about their million dollar combine we’ve been running there nearly million dollar cotton pickers for over 10 years. I was just impressed that his sales guy was out hooking a header on. Our sales guys don’t know how to put a tractor in reverse. But they know how to order equipment and that’s all I need them to do.
@@BaileyFarming I'm a farmer in Idaho that runs John Deere and Agco equipment. Our salesmen on both brands know how stuff works. They are always running escort for the delivery truck. I've never had a piece of equipment delivered where the sales people didn't help with the setup on the farm. They generally come in front is the truck with someone from the service department behind.
@@delbutler885 I’m not being smart at all. That is truly foreign to me. We buy multiple pieces per year and I’ve only seen a salesman at our farm maybe three times in the past 20 years and that was just to look at our trades. Most of the time we have to just send them pictures. It’s pretty sad. I am honestly glad that service is still a thing in some parts. That was the first thing I noticed in the vid was that his sales guys were out there helping. That doesn’t happen here. Our John Deere dealership has 25 stores local to us (within 300 miles) and they know we don’t have any options and they treat us that way.
Josh Bailey all I can say is WOW. We have been dealing with our dealers for decades. Even if we pick something up at the dealership the sales and service department are hands on.
My dad put me on a A JD with a 12 ft. Massey pull type, spent days on end going in circles, learned a lot that summer, grew up from the sand box to putting in 10 hr days and eating out of a bucket, things have changed since the early 60's. Had just turned 10
That is or was a problem.We were looked at as. free labor.A number of my friends went to other types of trades and professions.They were burned out on all the long. hours that they endured at younger ages
Swathers have come a long way since I was a kid cutting hay for my uncle. He had a 910 New Holland (which was old when I was running it) it had steering levers like a tank.
Hi Mike. I think Fendt having been watching your videos. The 900 and 1000 are now available with an optional laminated windshield and a self cleaning air filter for the engine.!!
Only ever ran the old versatile, or versa-pile swathers. I call them that because they were worn out long before I ran them. Set up a couple new MacDons back in the early 2000s and a Case in the late. This thing actually looks nice. Had me laughing for a minute when Ashton noticed you on the wrong side of the cab! 😆
Oh my. Engineers as well as sales person. Have a problem here when machine delivered "Oh. Next Wednesday? I will get the engineer to call. Sorry about that......." Good show Ashtyn. Mike, flowers and best meal.
Back about 1960, our "swather" was simply a set of tapering flat metal tines bolted to the back side of the mower sickle bar. Oats or wheat was then formed into a windrow for combining.
Hello Mike and Ashtyn . Hope you guys are doing well and hope harvest is going good . On the backside of the end covers on the header on the swather there’s a hole that has a latch for opening it . Hope this will help . It’s the same are macdon header for our combines . Take care and talk you guys soon .
Hey mike, I've been swathering a reasonable lot in the Netherlands, mostly canola but you name it we swathered it. looking at the video, and seeing the material flow through the header, i think you're running your real to low, the way it "pulls"through the crop you could say it is pre-thressing the crop. in Holland we swather the crop in a far more ripened stage, we try to almost not touch the crop with the real. If you have you're ground speed high enough the material flow into the header, onto the drapers will be going by itself. compare this with cutting a piece of rope with a sharp knive very slow or very swift cut. The slow one will puss the rope away, the swift on will cut it with almost no movement of the rope. Otherwise a nice video and proud to see a lady driver.
I pre-delivered and worked on a lot of those Macdon heads it's kind of funny to see them with John Deere logos because they are the same shape of plastic. There's small holes on the inside of the ends with a lever you push in to open the sides up.
I would love to operate that all day!! I have never operated a swather before but i have operated a lot of tractors before and i'm a good student, let me have it for a few hours and i will be a pro at it!!
@@starks1414 hahaha thats bs amd you know it. 2 best swathers out are MF and Macdon. We run Massey and id put it up against a MD any day of the week. Hreat swathers that do a great job and are a hell of alot easier to hook up in the field compared to that thing. I laughed for 5 minutes with all the things they had to hook up and do.
11:26 ah man Mike I felt that. Many a time I've been flying in and out of a machine to hook up a chain or reposition it and my head went full bore into the door frame. It sure does hurt.
One thing you don't get with the video is the smell. I LOVE the smell of fresh cut crop on the green side, especially through low spots with a few weeds. Just watching the video triggers that smell for me even though its been over 20 years since I have smelled it.
Mike your playing with fire! A pregnant lady is dangerous at the best of times, but scaring her like that….well that could of ended badly, she might have had that baby right then and there! How would you explain that to John Deere? 😂 Sad day for Ashtyn finding out that Green is better than yellow! Sorta like the day you found out Santa wasn’t real!😂
what we do with bad areas of the field in Norway, dig a hole and make a pond, plant some treess and some wildflowers that bees like. then we go claim money from the goverment for doing work for the good of the enviroment. it pays better even if the area was full of high yield crop lol
Great video, I really enjoy when you try out new equipment. That looks like a nice swather and it appears to be doing a great job. I wonder how it compares to the Case IH?
So would in not have been quicker and cheaper to spray the barley and weeds off rather hand swathing. Looking how green it is in those large swath it will take longer to dry than if it was out in the field ???
I assume Ashtyn edits these videos??😂 great video everyone!! Being from 🇮🇪 I’ve never heard or seen this swrathing of barley but it looks like a good idea for certain reasons
Ashtyn's face was priceless Mike! I have an intelligent question, after swathing do you have to drive the combine in the same direction as the crop was swathed?
The swather moves the hay into a windrow after cutting. I wonder if there is a machine that leaves it spread. What’s the sense of creating a windrow if your trying to dry it? Leave it spread for a day or two then rake it.
Ok .Mike, I know she loves the honey bee, but u gotta ask her, the mac don lays a better cereal swath..., I ran both...just can't seem to lay a decent ceral swath with honey bee
I think the guys need to step back and let Ashtyn do her thing due to her swathing experience. 🤣😂 This unit may be green and although Ashtyn prefers red she most likely has more hands on experience than all the guys combined.
I'm from Italy and I don't understand at all why you can't use directly a combine. Do you have to cut the crop to help it to dry ? Then you can use the combine with a pick up header, is it right? Bye Tommy
So Mike !itchelll is demoing a Macdon. What will Greg and Gary say? Next he will be importing a Midwest from Australia and wondering why he never had a 60ft on the 760 coz they have been available for that long down here ....

I love it Mike uses his turn signal even though there is not a car within a 100 miles.
Do it every time, never forget it.
Lol I was going to comment look a Canadian that uses a turn signal 😂
Around here I wish more folks were like Mike and signaled, even some of the time. But that's too much work for the important people lol
U just wear it out if nobody is around to see it. But it is a good habit to have.

910 was a good one. I had a 903 "Speedrower". Although it cut well, there was nothing related to "speed" with that machine!
started on and new holland 905. I really enjoyed running it when I was a kid

I'm impressed how weed free Ashtyn's barley is - considering how weedy it was prior to planting.
Ashteyn Is an awesome operator I'd hire her for swathing hay crop
The reversible fan is a pretty darn good idea! Gott give the engineers credit there!
Been around for years. Nothing new. Should be standard
Great Machine and your Lady Cooks Dinner as Well 😅😮😂😮😂
Oh my. Engineers as well as sales person. Have a problem here when machine delivered "Oh. Next Wednesday? I will get the engineer to call. Sorry about that......."
Good show Ashtyn. Mike, flowers and best meal.
Mike, great video with Ashtyn in control of the swather. Greetings from central Illinois.
Awesome looking swather Mike
Great video Mike good luck combining
Thank you Mike and Ashton

Just like watching John Deere equipment- something I can relate to!
The appearance of that swather driving backwards has a futuristic SiFi quality about it.
In England we use Propcorn BP for pickling barley feed corn when the corn has a high moisture content . You don't have dry it once done !
Ohhh hellooooo there! Fancy looking!
I pre-delivered and worked on a lot of those Macdon heads it's kind of funny to see them with John Deere logos because they are the same shape of plastic. There's small holes on the inside of the ends with a lever you push in to open the sides up.
KNUCKLE MEAT 😂💪been there many times brother👊
I would love to operate that all day!! I have never operated a swather before but i have operated a lot of tractors before and i'm a good student, let me have it for a few hours and i will be a pro at it!!
Pretty nice swather. I’d love to see a demo of a massy. Thanks for another great video
No comparison… macdon out swathes a massy in any condition
I’ve no experience with a Massy Draper header but I run one with a discbine at work and I love it

28:35 🤭💪🏽 great!
But also lucky she did not go into labor instantly 😂
Mike you should leave a camera with Ashtyn so she can record some videos
Ashtyn doesn't like being on camera
He doesn't use a camera he just uses his phone. We wouldn't get any videos if he had to use a camera.
Great video. One of these days, Ashtyn is going to beat you up for scaring her. Lol Hope harvest is going well.
i would pay "some" money to se a Ashtyn-view of you running sideways beside the header. xD
Something mesmerising watching this !
That's a BIG windrower!
That's a big row hope the weather plays it's part. Good luck.
Would love to hear Ashtyn's thoughts on it, compared to what she's used to.
Awesome Thanks for sharing
Mike your playing with fire! A pregnant lady is dangerous at the best of times, but scaring her like that….well that could of ended badly, she might have had that baby right then and there! How would you explain that to John Deere? 😂
Sad day for Ashtyn finding out that Green is better than yellow! Sorta like the day you found out Santa wasn’t real!😂
Yellow? Ashtyn is a red fan.
Somebody lied to you Santa is real 😂
Looks a much healtier a crop than the 1bu/ac from down south 👍
Don't ever be sorry for being who you are Mike. Your laugh is just fine.
I agree, it's his creepy hand waving that has us all concerned! Tee hee!
Ha "Mike" you are amazing my dream I'll work for you too.
what we do with bad areas of the field in Norway, dig a hole and make a pond, plant some treess and some wildflowers that bees like. then we go claim money from the goverment for doing work for the good of the enviroment. it pays better even if the area was full of high yield crop lol
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Good video i now how they move swather header.
The look on her face! 😂
What no 80 ft header demo? Thought you love bringing a machine to it's knees? Ashtyn seems to be having a blast
Great video, I really enjoy when you try out new equipment. That looks like a nice swather and it appears to be doing a great job. I wonder how it compares to the Case IH?
MacDon is far superior machine compared to the CNH units .
Good job
So would in not have been quicker and cheaper to spray the barley and weeds off rather hand swathing. Looking how green it is in those large swath it will take longer to dry than if it was out in the field ???
Potentially yes
Thats the point of swathing it..if you spray those spots with round up it will be absorbed into the seed...they will never get malt if it is sprayed
Super!!!👍 it works good!!!🙂
Good morning Ashtyn
Mike everytime: whoo.. sorry about that guys
I assume Ashtyn edits these videos??😂 great video everyone!! Being from 🇮🇪 I’ve never heard or seen this swrathing of barley but it looks like a good idea for certain reasons
We don't have a swather on our farm but we do have the header for when are done swathing though
I am asking because Im lost on why you dont just use the x9 with the same type header to harvest the canola.
28:26 Best part 😂😂
At 19:30 when you commented on it I thought you were somehow riding the header until you said otherwise.
Ashtyn's face was priceless Mike!
I have an intelligent question, after swathing do you have to drive the combine in the same direction as the crop was swathed?
Yes
The heads always go in first from the swaths
@@elizabethliska5377 Or at least whenever you can. Wind damaged crop sometimes is quite tangled.
So the demo team comes out and hasn’t hooked up the demo machine before…. Return to sender 👌
Well the green paint fan boys are happy.
I’d like to see your reaction when you see an organic field full of weeds. 😂
The swather moves the hay into a windrow after cutting. I wonder if there is a machine that leaves it spread. What’s the sense of creating a windrow if your trying to dry it? Leave it spread for a day or two then rake it.
They use the swather in crops, and you talk about hay.🤨
Hello Mike good good, 😜💪👍🇮🇹
Sure beats the old Massy 36 I grew up cutting hundreds of acres of hay with
Hey Mike! Is the auger used for heavier crops? Keep up the good Videos. Hello from Chinook, MT.
For canola
I personally don't do any swathing so wondering if you can get 45 foot heads or maybe even 50 foot heads for swathers.
Up to 45” on Macdon swathers.
@@davidlogel2350 thanks
You know Ashton won't like the deer. Lol
I love farming ❤️❤️ I am Indian farmer
Ok .Mike, I know she loves the honey bee, but u gotta ask her, the mac don lays a better cereal swath..., I ran both...just can't seem to lay a decent ceral swath with honey bee
I think the guys need to step back and let Ashtyn do her thing due to her swathing experience. 🤣😂
This unit may be green and although Ashtyn prefers red she most likely has more hands on experience than all the guys combined.
Definitely.. Then all 3 of us 😂
Awesome machine!
So serious question. Why use the swather instead of the combine?
Mike,From a ex backhoe operator,startling the operator{Ashtyn},not cool,I'm sure you heard about it off camera!!!HAHA
do you have much trouble with crop lodging in. wet conditions
I'm from Italy and I don't understand at all why you can't use directly a combine.
Do you have to cut the crop to help it to dry ?
Then you can use the combine with a pick up header, is it right?
Bye Tommy
Yes, it's a way to dry down the crop, then ll pick back up with a combine
It's a good swatter just had some final drive Seals leak
I think they might be called Sow Thistle.
So you had no JD swather expert present for the demo?
Nice machine
Salut super machine tank you vidéo magnifique
Now that it’s all set up, the demo hours are done and it’s time to send it back. Lol.
Nice video
So what is the difference from the one made by deere
Deere engine, Deere gps
I'd go with the new CASE WD5 series. A lot more horse's under the bonnet..😁
Those guards are called rock guards I had them on my hay bine
So Mike !itchelll is demoing a Macdon. What will Greg and Gary say? Next he will be importing a Midwest from Australia and wondering why he never had a 60ft on the 760 coz they have been available for that long down here ....
Looks like hawks beard is the weeds. Kinda looks like a very tall dandelion.
When do you use the auger on the header
Magnifique machine la john deere combien ha à l’heure svp merci vidéo super 👍😉
Mike I have a question… So what’s the verdict? Does this machine have ashtons approval? Do you like it
It's not Astyn's preferred color, but we'll see.
