Look at that crop! I thought I was watching somebody else's channel! lol This is wonderful, MIke--hope they all get back to looking like this next year. Heaven knows you deserve it.
We had some 100 bushel soft white at northern Sask. we had our 8080 with a 30 foot swath going about 3.5 I thought your x9 should do that at least in the wheat
in the uk cover crops are becoming more of a thing for topsoil retention, moisture retention and ground cover, even in our generally wet climate were starting to get really really dry springs and early summers where you need the moisture we get non, and then the summer is wet when you dont want it . the cover crops also have root systems which help keep the soil healthy.
@@bens8919 Using more and more cover crops mid Midwest. My cousin start it no telling in the mid-70s. That has helped a lot but we are more soy beans and corn here with some wheat.
If he wasn't just complaining and making content he could have it resolved. He could install s-series chopper knives or remove guides under the discharge beater, remove ramps on the floor of the chopper or even try the chopper in 1st not 2nd.
In the right conditions, all combines and equipment operate like they are meant to. There is more than one reason most crops can't be harvested green and plugging combines is just a small one.
@@alexdyck6339I don't know how much you think he makes from RUclips, but thousands of dollars of downtime from a plugged machine isn't a good investment for the Tube. And in the middle of harvest isn't a good time to do a major retrofit at his own expense on a machine Deere messed up on.
@@alexdyck6339also, the issue as I understand it is that there is a shelf basically between the chopper and the spreader that doesn't have any mechanism to move material across it, and some products build up on the shelf and then it backs up into the chopper. So the issue is the dead zone not the blades.
@@alexdyck6339 again I say, he is losing more money from the down time than he is making in YT revenue, so claiming that he's not fixing it because he wants the drama is silly. Plus, he has the dealer on speed dial, do you not think that he HASN'T been talking to them about it, and would get it taken care of by them if they were willing or able to do anything? He may also have parts on order, or someone scheduled to deal with it.
Actually getting to watch some crop roll into the hopper can almost make a farmer giddy with excitement. Work all year to see SOME significant resuĺts. Good to see !
"The moment you cannot be wrong, learning ceases" ~ Socrates Great video Mike, as always. Warmest regards to you and yours from this southern Alberta farmer/rancher.
Mike, congratulations on the excellent crop. I grew up on a farm in the Swan River Valley region. East of your north farm just inside the Manitoba border. In 60-years, we have never experienced a complete crop failure. You are working too hard farming in two regions Buddy. Consider divesting the south farm and expand the north. The reason the Swift Current is a "Brown" Soil zone is because over hundreds/thousands of years, the area is/will always subject to drought/low rainfall.
Mike, witnessing your successful harvest of such a bountiful crop is truly inspiring! It's a joy to watch you work seamlessly in the fields, free from the constant hassle of the dreaded 'Plugged Demon.' Your dedication to agriculture and the efficiency of your machines not only ensures a prosperous yield but also allows you the precious gift of enjoying your time in the fields. Keep up the fantastic work - you're not just farming, you're crafting a masterpiece!
Nice crop Mike, glad to see your north crops are substantially better than they were down south. I recommend using a vertical till on this field to break up the trash, especially if you are planning to seed canola again next year. Eventually that trash build up is going to give you Disease problems
Heck yeah man yall deserve a good crop and hopefully everyone in North America harvesting currently is having a safe productive harvest! Lord knows we need it!
In watching the amount of time and inputs and labour that it takes to grow and harvest a crop these days, I cannot but wonder as to how difficult it must have been for your forefathers Mike who only had horse power to till, seed and harvest even a quarter section.
And in our area by saskatoon we averaged 10 bus, missed all the rains all spring and summer until harvest started then its been raining steady. And the wheat is all bleached because of it. Just a great year
In the UK: Old guy way of saying someone missed some crop at the edge of the header is "You left some soldiers standing!" Was obviously more common when we all had to manual steer! If you left some near a road, you always went back and got them to avoid comments from neighbouring farms!
I don’t know if the x9 has this same button but on our 780 right next to the auto steer button, there is a button with an E on it to the right. You can use that to switch your tracts rather than fiddling with it on the screen. Just a thought!
I tilt the header to about4degrees in that lodged stuff. It tips the guard points downward just a little , otherwise the header just slides over a lot of the heads, and hit #3 to get on the ground. Then get thru the lodged stuff, back to 0 degrees.and #2. But I think you might want to heavy harrow that stubble. Just my thoughts.
Mike great to see some of that down wheat problem.. Was that field cleansed and treated with extra potash, by some flames and mushroom cloud? Picture perfect example how correctly, applied fire helps immeasurably? The many multiple residue easily makes up for and recovers the burn fuel??? I think im going to go have one of thosemocha power shakes in celelabration!
Wheat Pete in Ontario starts to get impressed around 100 Bu, irrigated or good weather year WSW in the MidAtlantics normal is between 100-135 BPA. Nothing like the UK & New Zealand top produce hang out around the 200 area.
Did the math. Looks like 1200-1300bu/hr. You are keeping it down to keep loss down. Nice to see. A bushel per acre is a lot of money if you can make the time to get the rest of it.
You should really drop a pan behind that thing they brought one out again this year with bars low it was throwing 4 bushels in wheat. After they calibrated gauges it got to .5
In europe winter wheat would yield anywhere between 10 and 12 t/ha, which would be double of your yield, but we need a lot af treatments, lots of fertilizer… We use earlifters and put the reel far forward, but winter wheat is the worst crop to lift up if it is lodged hard down…
What's your verdict of the x9? Usually it comes down to dealer support and the best bang for you bucks. Speed, fuel efficiency how breakdowns. Most combines do a pretty good far as quality of grain. Soposed to be a new Case combine coming out soon. Likely a class 10. Probably similar to the Newholland combine. Think u will try Red one next time if the reviews of it are good? I think some are somewhat disappointed in the x9. They felt it should have had a little more power a little more capacity for the money anyway.
According to Peter Johnson the physiological limit for wheat is 7 kernels per row Makes me wonder just how big could one get them heads😂🍞 Cheers from Ontario
Put some corn in and that'd clean up your organic matter in no time, and as a side bonus, it'll sure get the neighbours talking even if it doesn't yield worth a crap 😂
Awesome crop! Now maybe you can ditch the X and try a 8900 👍👍👍👍 We want to see CLAAS 😂But only if you have good dealers and support in your area, because all brands will break down. Run what you know or have good dealer support!
Hi Mike, do you not use lifters on your header? When I was combining here in the UK I don't remember ever taking them off. Apart from repairs to the knife etc.
Mike, I did some rough calcs, you're harvesting at 2.9km/hr, cutting 15.3m, crop yield 6.3T/Ha, that's 28T/hr out of that X9, surely that's a long way under it's potential as a combine, basically sacrificing grain capacity to turn it into a straw chopping facility? Cheers, you do interesting videos though.
Pro tip, take one of the alarm horns apart and find out a way to silence it mechanically, maybe remove the diaphragm, or even just fill the throat with some caulk, so you can have it plugged in and make the computer happy, but not have to listen to it. I often am called or inspired to do this for parents who have children's toys that are WAY too loud... Smirk It's amazing how useful a well placed piece of scotch tape over the speaker can be ;)
It's good to see you harvesting a super good crop Mike
I agree, but a bit longer video would be nice for our enjoyment too 🤓
I am happy for you mike, you worked hard to get that crop and you deserve it.
Wow, 90 bushel wheat! You guys definitely deserve it. Many blessing for you all .
Look at that crop! I thought I was watching somebody else's channel! lol This is wonderful, MIke--hope they all get back to looking like this next year. Heaven knows you deserve it.
To the power of 10
We had some 100 bushel soft white at northern Sask. we had our 8080 with a 30 foot swath going about 3.5
I thought your x9 should do that at least in the wheat
You are probably doing a better job but I still would have been going faster
Organic matter is key in drought conditions and for soil health.
in the uk cover crops are becoming more of a thing for topsoil retention, moisture retention and ground cover, even in our generally wet climate were starting to get really really dry springs and early summers where you need the moisture we get non, and then the summer is wet when you dont want it . the cover crops also have root systems which help keep the soil healthy.
@@bens8919 Using more and more cover crops mid Midwest. My cousin start it no telling in the mid-70s.
That has helped a lot but we are more soy beans and corn here with some wheat.
Covered soil is key!
Once somebody sees a top comment they give it a like cuz it has a lot of likes not cuz they like it
Organic material and cover crops is the key but that far north, in Canada, there ain't nothing going to grow though winter time .
It's nice to see you combining a field where you can actually achieve some enjoyment time & not have to constantly dealing with the "Plugged Demon"

All. The. Best. And. Good luck. Nice to. See you get a yield
SOOOOO satisfying watching you combine that beautiful wheat with the commentary of course….what an amazing yield!!!!! God bless you all !!!!
OMG that header and combine is doing a magnificent job in those conditions :) great video :)

Glad to see you show all the troubles and break downs you have it makes me feel normal
Best crops if seen You harvest in years hope it keeps on keeping
last years north crop was equally good
So fun to see you get to cut the crop your hard work and commitment deserves!!
Heck yeah man yall deserve a good crop and hopefully everyone in North America harvesting currently is having a safe productive harvest! Lord knows we need it!
I am so glad to see you finally get to harvest an excellent crop.
It's great to see the kind of yield a guys plans on.
Very happy to see you in a good crop
What? I'm glad you are happy with your wheat an getting a great Yield After so many disappointing yields.
So have a great day and be safe.
Mike, you deserve a good crop, after all the crop failures you had
Impressive organic matter from the canola.
Glad to see you cutting a good crop Mike! So happy for you guys, you have had some TERRIBLE weather the past couple years
In watching the amount of time and inputs and labour that it takes to grow and harvest a crop these days, I cannot but wonder as to how difficult it must have been for your forefathers Mike who only had horse power to till, seed and harvest even a quarter section.
with that good yeilds. you should seed 10 inch spacing
And in our area by saskatoon we averaged 10 bus, missed all the rains all spring and summer until harvest started then its been raining steady. And the wheat is all bleached because of it. Just a great year
wow a rather sucky year for you
Glad to see that you are making a nice profit on the winter wheat.
Spring seeded wheat 🤠

Great to see you reaping a high yield crop. Making the John Deere work. Good stuff👍
Happy Birthday on 10-8
That looks really great.👍😃
Great Video - I rejoice with you on a great crop of wheat - thank you, Lord!
Congratulations
Fantastic crop. Happy for You
Good luck with harvest

Man i had a neighbor that had a 125bu wheat this year. Just mint hey. Protien wasnt good but il take a yeild over a protein anyday
Woow, impresive yield 100bu/ac it's about 6,7 t/ha in our European metric system, never seen such numbers of spring wheat, usually it tops at 5t/ha
Love the content thanks for sharing
Mike. It would be smart. To. Divest in the. South. Farm. And buy more land up north
Great vid Mike! Yay for great yields!
That’s fun cutting! We haven’t had a wheat crop for three years. Drought…
where do you farm
@@rickpederson1219 panhandle of Texas.

Beauty of a crop
really nice machines those X9
Good dealership ,very iimportant, we also havve great service fromour JD dealership
Great awesome video mike
Great to see some excellent wheat also can you life the chopper up to harvest lentils just wounding and bale combine rows 😊❤️👍🇦🇺

Thats a banger crop of wheat 🎉
Did you think of cutting on angle to help lodging concern
Now we're talking. 👌
Amazing videos keep up the good work and 1 quick question would you ever get a claas combine
Happy for you you need a crop like thst to make up for south farm. Awsome
Did the math. Looks like 1200-1300bu/hr. You are keeping it down to keep loss down. Nice to see. A bushel per acre is a lot of money if you can make the time to get the rest of it.
You should really drop a pan behind that thing they brought one out again this year with bars low it was throwing 4 bushels in wheat. After they calibrated gauges it got to .5
Wow! You need to plant all wheat.😊
Whens the fendt 1167 reveiw coming
Nice crop … what variety is that?
I’ve grown AC Brandon and Starbuck last yr. Two powerful varieties.
When's a shop coming up at the North farm with these yields
In europe winter wheat would yield anywhere between 10 and 12 t/ha, which would be double of your yield, but we need a lot af treatments, lots of fertilizer…
We use earlifters and put the reel far forward, but winter wheat is the worst crop to lift up if it is lodged hard down…
What's your verdict of the x9?
Usually it comes down to dealer support and the best bang for you bucks. Speed, fuel efficiency how breakdowns.
Most combines do a pretty good far as quality of grain.
Soposed to be a new Case combine coming out soon.
Likely a class 10. Probably similar to the Newholland combine.
Think u will try Red one next time if the reviews of it are good?
I think some are somewhat disappointed in the x9.
They felt it should have had a little more power a little more capacity for the money anyway.
So could you figure out how many acres in the north would it take to equal the acres in the south ?
3:45 does this Lodging happen because of rain and wind? Just wondering why it’s such a limited area? 🤔❤️🖖🏼
Mike does John Deere connect you about your displeasure with the X9 in the Lentils plugging up the combine?
But Mike, there's always reasons ,to be thankful . Maybe a break even season.
Very nice wheat Mike !!
Awesome Wheat crop but… holy smokes this might be a mess to plant next spring with all kinds of plugs on the drill. 😬
Not if it's Heavy Harrowed
We had some 64bpa and thought that was amazing lol.
According to Peter Johnson the physiological limit for wheat is 7 kernels per row
Makes me wonder just how big could one get them heads😂🍞
Cheers from Ontario
Thank you. Glad you finally have something to good to cut. 😊
Put some corn in and that'd clean up your organic matter in no time, and as a side bonus, it'll sure get the neighbours talking even if it doesn't yield worth a crap 😂
Except it’s still green as Silage corn in early September. 😂
Straw mulch helps soil retain moisture? Who knew?😆
There is a fine line between too much though that is too hard to plant and leads to disease issues. If it was easy, everybody would still be doing it.
a Väderstad carrier would make quick work of all that organic matter. should look into it.
I have a question. How good does it feel when everything comes together to make a great yield?
No plugged machine? :) Do the different crops add back the lost nutrients from the other crops? Thank you and have a wonderful week.
Awesome crop! Now maybe you can ditch the X and try a 8900 👍👍👍👍 We want to see CLAAS 😂But only if you have good dealers and support in your area, because all brands will break down. Run what you know or have good dealer support!
Mike I have a question; What combine did you get Chapel into this year? 😅 Have a safe harvest!!
Hi Mike, do you not use lifters on your header? When I was combining here in the UK I don't remember ever taking them off. Apart from repairs to the knife etc.
The good the bad the ugly , like we all experience, well done
Did ya finish up harvest? How’s that blade been holding up lol. Pretty sweet to see my work in action.
Couldn’t you replace the horn with a small led light to eliminate the honk and the warning in the cab?
There lights that flash when the horn blows.
Not sure if the lights flash when the horn is unplugged
Want something from that won’t throw a code or be annoying. Put a small auto lightbulb in the circuit. It might flash, but won’t make any noise
I haven’t seen many twin rotor machines that like damp green material. I don’t think of any brand that does
The x nine is just sensitive has some constipation issues. Will eat lots lol
i wonder if the 1100 would have a faster ground speed than the 1000 that you are in.
Good to see crop coming in instead of grasshoppers.
Will you grow seed for the south farm from the North Farm?
He planted his barley on the south farm this year from last years barley on the north farm
Wow good yield just like the UK
wow could you even truck all the grain if your south farm had that kind of yield ! bet you would love to try ! lol
Just a tiny difference between regions in the province those north country farmers got it good. When the south west is like a desert 🌵
The best land is in between, in the North Battleford to Saskatoon area.
Mike, I did some rough calcs, you're harvesting at 2.9km/hr, cutting 15.3m, crop yield 6.3T/Ha, that's 28T/hr out of that X9, surely that's a long way under it's potential as a combine, basically sacrificing grain capacity to turn it into a straw chopping facility?
