Lol the passive aggressive regarding your combines being still at the dealer 😂
😆 It becomes less passive and more aggressive as videos and harvest drag on. Haha
@@mikemitchell2554my brother in law has 2new x9 at dealer. They say no trucks to bring ‘em. Weird
@richardradawetz8788 i had to drive one of our combines home because the dealer said it would be a week or more to haul them. Terrible.
So good to see you harvest a decent crop at the South farm, hopefully this will help keep your head above the water & keep the business going for another year. 😀
Looks like you got another little one on the way congratulations
So good to see you cutting a nice crop on the south farm thanks for sharing mike👍🇬🇧
In Germany we just finished harvesting wheat with over 10 tonnes to an hectare.
Thx for your video's. Good luck with your harvest, Mike.
Yous must be going thru a lot of fertilizer.
Try ferting around 60, thou acres of crops.
@@John-nc4bl You don't know much about agriculture outside the USA, do you? German farmers use significantly less fertilizer and spray less than their counterparts in the US.
@gerhardma4297 ya i doubt that, but they also have amazing land over there and tons of rain to grow great crops
Looks like 👍 you'll are getting ready to add to the family. Don't know when you had the time with all the running you do.
Praying for a safe harvest for everyone this year. This is a year not to rush .
Looks like little Chapel is going to be a big brother….🎉
Been watching you for like 4 years... this is the first time i can honestly remember you actually cutting a decent crop on the south farm. The Welker farms tried Lentils this year but they didnt look nearly as good as these.. im not sure why.
Lordy, your fields are long, ha. Enjoy the harvest Mike - thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for bringing us along. Have a healthy and safe harvest.
I love the videos, Mike. Doesn’t matter what brand you have dealers are not very quick at getting through machines.
Absolutely LOVE your channel-content. Currently riding with you in the combine to the dealer in the rain.
You’re awesome and I appreciate you for making these videos and totally get your humour!!!
Congratulations to you both on new crew to the family have a safe harvest from southern Ontario
You cant beat a combine video! Wishing you a safe harvest and looks like better than last year. Same thing is happening for the Welkers. Not great but better than last year.
Let me get this right, dealership had combine since February, and they HAVEN’t gotten your combine ready in August, I’d be pissed.
You didn't get it Right. Mike told them when he probably was going to need his combines. Now instead of August 10 he needs it in July. It's Mike's fault.
Thank you for a family friendly channel without all the cussing. The Lord is good.
Amen I agree with you it’s so refreshing not listening to that type of language.
Amen 🙏🏼
YOu have no idea how much i love harvest season videos.
BRING them on!
Also i hope that cheeky 8900 will appear as demo.
Hurray - great to see you going on harvest! 13 bushel... way better than last year. PTL!
Towed my camper and blew not 1 not 2 not 3 but all 4 tires on the pitifully short 3 hour ride home. It was unbelievable. luckily my friend also had his camper with extra spares because I only had 1 spare. I feel your pain Mike... some days just don't make sense!
No better feeling than full send during harvest best of luck to ya Mike 🤟💪
Sure is nice to see you guys having some kind of crop even it’s not average next year
One tire is happenstance, two is coincidence, but 3 tires is enemy action.
Down south here they cut winter wheat in June and then double crop soybeans if there is enough moisture in the Forcast.
Glad to see some decent yields for you on the south farm. I hope you have a great harvest and stay safe out there.
I gotta say being a technician that works for a pattison ag (not the same dealership Mike deals with) a lot smaller but close to his. We have been absolutely swamped this year. It’s August 1st in this video, It’s August 19th as I type this and we have brand new X9 combines that are sold and haven’t even been PDI’D yet. There’s way too much work and not enough people to do it.
Yes I agree with you, we are all having serious problems with the labour shortages and I am not real sure what the fix is there 🤷🏼♂️.. Unfortunately to hinder things even more, I believe Pattison has bitten off alittle more than they can chew.
@@mikemitchell2554 It is the dealer. Same issue at his flagship store on the east side of the province. 26 million dollar building doesn't make a dealership. It is a bad joke to be honest.
@@mikemitchell2554 He went chasing some of the biggest fish (and can't deliver) and unfortunately, it's left the rest of his customers scrambling.
nice work! i hope you have a great harvest and full bins.
Great family picture!! 😊
They are planning on starting shelling corn soon. It is changing and drying faster than usual. Strange year we have had.
Sad the dealer is doing that to you. I can only imagine the amount of money you and your family spends on equipment, parts, and service and the dealership. Hope it gets better and harvest goes well!!
Are you gonna try the new case combine this year? That combines looks impressive.
Good luck with the harvest Mike and everything else ! 😀🎉
Oh no you didn't get breaking into the field for the first time this year, oh well, dont know why no one ever shows that, goodwork an thanks for sharing Mike, and I look forward to seeing the next video
Hello from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦, you have a beautiful family Mike is your family growing?
Happy to see you with a crop Mike. Been a while.
John said it was a issue with Mitchell they were having
It's almost like Mrs. Deere doesn't really care about multi-million dollar customers. My little peon self doesn't stand a chance with them.
God is Great! Thanks for letting us into your life!
It's nothing to do with Deere. It's his dealership.
@@dustinb9105if the combines had been done in February it wouldn't be an issue. It's time for all of you to quit peeing on Deere and the dealership and put the blame squarely on Mike's shoulders. Mike didn't plan on the harvest season to start early.
You're right, I accept the blame for not calling the dealership weekly to push on getting those combines and headers. I suppose I thought when deal was signed in January and they were delivered in February, I thought they would have put them through their shop without me hounding on them. Unfortunately I was mistaken
@@delbutler885 are you working for John Deere?? 😂
@@mikemitchell2554Let's hope there is no major delays on getting the required parts once your combines & headers actually get looked at.
With the unfortunate lower prices on the harvested product this year it would be a shame if some yields were lost due to lack of equipment to get crops off in a timely manner.
Having access to Terry's combine hopefully helps with the stress level.
Hopefully the dealer is paying your brother a rental fee for using his combine since they have had over 6 months to get them green light ready
What does green light ready mean?
@@Jehty_ greenlight is basically harvest ready check, on stuff like bearings, common ware parts, oil change and updates
@@Jehty_ Its a checklist the dealer performs to ensure the combine is field ready and they will fix anything not right. They also will warranty if something happens after on new equipment.
@@Jehty_ its a fancy way of squezing more money out of farmers. John deere at its best.
@@darodaredevilyou don't have to have Deere do a green light on your equipment. It must be a good enough deal for Mike. He has to t done at the dealership not at home
Pattison shafting near enough all its customers it seems this season. I hope people start to share their thoughts with more than words, and talk with cash.
🔥right on Mike, nice to see combines out cutting.. I’d be looking at tire pressures, seems like over 110-120
I was w8ting for thid Mike😊
What an absolutely adorable family! Never forget how lucky you are!
Mike i hope juan qeere gets your x9s going. I bet if Fendt had your combines for 6 months the green guys would be beating down fendt like a rented mule.
Looks like another mini combine operator is baking in the oven.
Mike I'm sure you have talked about air reels on youre heads ? Could you revisit the subject for short crop harvest ?
Got the notification for the video and it says 10 sec ago but other comments were 4 and 5 days ago 😂
Same for me,funny to see that
Probably Patrons that get content early
Video posted on Friday for patron people then released public today
Looks like your going to have an addition to the family?
I noticed that too, unless Ashtyn has a secret donut addiction that we're unaware of? 😂🤣😂
Fantastic Mike
Deere is supposed to be coming out with a much bigger version of the x9. They are putting the engine in the x9 that their new biggest articulated track tractor has. So that will be a monster. Will need a 65 foot header.
Our lentils have always been short enough it’s nice to have a dirty field to help with feeding….
Looked like some deer tracks antelope trails running thru fields
Good luck with harvest!!
Thanks Mike!
Congratulations Mitchell familie🤣
In South Australia we always cut in November/December
hope it gets better no more blowouts
Mucha suerte amigo Mike.
Thank you fellow farmer! What is it like not having irrigation? I spend most of my time on motors and pivots.
Mike you don't want a crop bad enough!! Your driving past your missed strip "missed because of operator fault 100%!!" And your driving right past them! 7:05
That’s probably because he lifted the header to avoid hitting a rock or a mount of dirt. The loss of crop is certainly not worth the damage a rock or dirt could do to the combine or header
Fine looking family! Have the weak areas in the Fendt's been worked through enough to reconsider them?
Hello Mike good 🤝🇮🇹😉
13 is pretty good considering hasn’t rained since May
I just about had a cow when I saw you are harvesting!
It seems like not having a combine ready to go for the beginning of harvest would be the absolute cardinal sin of an equipment dealer.
Probably already got their money and don’t care now or Deere has stuff back ordered and dropped the ball.
need to get a Claas demo out there fjnd out what a real machine is. They refused to put an X9 demo into same field as our claas
Are you going to try out the case ih af 11 and S series from jd would love to see what you say about it 😀😀😀
Af 11 and your opinion on the new S series combines jd put out would be nice
Murphys law is following you!!!
Claas is the way to go...
Mike, I was wondering... Do you actually eat lentils and chickpeas?
Hi Mike, I’m curious to know why you grow the crops that you do? 👍✌️.
If my dealer had my machines that long for a green light, and hadn't had them done, that would be the trade in light coming on for me. That's not stellar service by anyone's standard. Yikes
Question Mike - you mentioned having the “green light” done on the combines. Can you expand on what that is by chance? Thanks!
In case Mike doesn't respond basically it is just taking your equipment in to be checked out and they do repairs if it is necessary to make the equipment field ready. JD dealer then sticks a sticker on saying it's green lighted.
I hope I'm not sayin something really bad but are y'all expecting another little Mike or little Ashton
5:50, I was watching another video and someone commented that the quality of tires for some reason has gone down a lot in recent years. I don't know anything about cars or tires, just a comment I recall.
I’ve been battling tires on everything this summer. I think the heat and cheaper quality tires haven’t mixed well this year.
Nice thumbnail pic. Would have been nice to see tge family but theres a time and place for privacy
We need longer videos if possible
Very interesting. It appears that Deere has gone incompetent and woke at the same time. Great opportunity for their competition!
Great awesome video mike
Take a shot everytime he says it’s his older brothers combine.
U should try to get a CR10/11 or a AFX11 out to demo.
Congratz ;-)
Hi Mike - what JD part # is on order for getting your combines up and running?
Mike question.
How do you do your cereal storage silo in the south farm? Is it shared between your brothers or do you have your own silo?
Did you put something in the oven Mike ?
Morning
What are lentils worth per bu of per lb h....has lentils price tanked like other commodities have ?
Maybe Mike you better dust off the old MF 760 while you waiting on your Deere dealer.
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo les moisson on commence et moissonneuse batteuse x9 1000 et la coupe de 13m est bien équipés et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
What is the Full weight from the Truck when is Fall loadet in t? I think over 60
Cut a crop!!??!!
13 don’t pay no bills!!!
yeah i dont know how they pay everything with 3 years of basically having no crop.
Claas. 8900.
Mike what's your trick for that clean of lentils? Valtera?
Both Valtera and Edge in the bad spots
No double digit lentils at Herbert. Another crap year
Sounds like it's time to ditch the green
I would have never gone back to Deere after the X ran like a deere (video).
I never seen a good crop like that
So why did you not take your X series from up North and see if they are modified enough
Wife pregnant again. ?
When did you take a day off for that 😂
Maybe?
They went on holiday to Hawaii. It rained all the time. Guess the only thing they could do was boom boom.
On those long straight rows, why not unload on the go into the semi trailer instead instead of running back and forth with a tractor and grain cart to the combine and truck-?
It would mean less augering of the lentils resulting in less fines and less ground compaction from 18 or more truck wheels than 8 or more wheels on a tractor and cart.
the compaction of a loaded semi is far greater then that of a grain cart or combine. The Semi trucks don't leave the shoulder of the field for not only that but also it's too hard trucks and trailers to be driving them the fields.
We don't even allow pickup trucks to drive across the fields.
@@mikemitchell2554 Mike, thanks for your reply.
Some grain carts are heavier when loaded that a loaded semi.
Its just as easy driving a semi on a long straight row and it in no big deal turning when a few 50 foot passes have been cut.
Bullhooey, I've seen pickups & maintenance drive across stubble.
@@John-nc4bl no worries, I always enjoy visiting 🙂
Perhaps, but our semi's don't I guess 🤷🏼♂️
Our pickups don't either for 1: fire risk is extreme, 2: gopher & badger holes (its a mine field out there) , 3: washouts
Some guys might do that, but we don't, 🙂
@@mikemitchell2554
Mount like a 'skid' plate under the pickups cat. converter and muffler or some of Elon Musks Starship heat shield tiles- 😊 to preclude a fire wiping out one of those 6,000 acre wheat fields.
Have you seen Trevor Struthers latest video titled, 'Tractors fighting fire - Combine lost' in the Palouse.
That dude makes impressive videos worth seeing.
@@John-nc4bl How about not trying to teach Mike how to farm. He has done this for years.
So I looked at Small green lentils online and found that they sell for $47 USA dollars per pound. So, what does a bushel of small green lentils sell for? So do those lentils sell for $220 per bushel
Likely significantly less than 47
@@GreatLakesLoggerWouldn’t be surprised if it is $0.47 per pound.
atleast you have a crop :)
Do you always do first pass in the middle of the field?
