I gonna keep our 1644 Axial flow going till the bin rusts out. Set n forget. If the crop starts thinning out a bit, push the go fast lever forward a bit more to keep her swallowing the same amount all the time. It gives an excellent sample and it is super easy to adjust if needed. Only has a 25 ft front on it but we have a lot of steep hills and a lot of trees to contend with. Beautiful, smooth running, quiet, non complicated machine.
Sure. Just like $100+ million dollar aircraft shouldn't have systems problems like flaps and aileron disagreements, instrument failures, etc. It happens and the cost of the equipment has NOTHING do with it.
The world of programming has become a joke. Sure there are a few top guys with real knowledge of computer science and systems testing, but they are tucked away doing some high level research. Most programmers are the equivalent of teenagers working fast food. They just bash out some really bad copy and pasted code and the manager just rolls their eyes when the customer mentions the fries are cold the burger was mashed. Half a century in most companies and consumers still haven't figured out what to require contractually. The cheapest bid ain't always the best deal. 2/3 of it is done by contractors in India.
That flat land and never ending skies always wows me. I hope one day to go out to Sask and see it for myself. Time to start taking pictures and make some calendars for those who would like to support you. We all wish you the best Mike, thanks for the vids.
Since that combine costs more than a house, maybe you can park it near the road and use it for Airbnb rental income during the housing shortage: *Shiny Green Tiny Home - One Careful Owner* Satellite communication where service is available and modern LED touchscreens are included. Surrounded by acres of quiet foliage depending on the season. As Seen on RUclips.
I feel ya pain Mike we used john deere green star autosteer when we were mowing the turf fields and was forever re calibrating the system,that's why we switched to new Holland tractors for the mowing 😂
unsure if you'll see this but I seriously enjoy your videos Mike. I am not a farmer but have worked in the industry and seeing your perspective is really interesting. Keep it up brother.
I would be on the phone to john bloody expensive, having a meltdown if this was my combine. And I only have about 1 percent of the area you guys have actually probably less. Thankfully we have sod all left to do, a bit of spring barley and we are done.
I'm pretty sure the calibrated yield is of more interest to guys that are mapping the yield of their land for variable rate fertilizer applixation the next season or to compare different growing methods or varieties. Probably more useful where irrigation can reduce weather variability.
This is why it makes me wonder if all this automation stuff is worth it. If you can't use the thing...the old mechanical ones look pretty good. Can take like 3-4 hours to even get a tech out, blows most of your day
Mike, you need a dummy sack in the combine to trick the seat sensor if you need to jump out for a bio break without having to back out of combine mode.
Mike, IMHO, it's probably a good thing that you keep your hair short or otherwise these technology issues would probably have you tearing it out at the roots.

We just got a new 8R410 this year and John Deere displays are slow. It's like they're still using internals from 2005 or their software is just horribly optimized. We run an Ag Leader for GPS and control and it boots up and aquires GPS signal faster than it takes the Deere display to just turn on sometimes.
@@mikemitchell2554 Have you ever done a video on your family history Mike? Would you want to? I know many folks would be fascinated to hear how the Mitchell family carved a farmstead out of this land.
lol imagine a bearing failure on a self driving machine no one around for miles in a highly flammable environment you would only figure out about the fire after long after it was out of control and did more damage than the tractor was worth by multiples
That's what I say. Self driving tractors/combines will NEVER be a thing, there always needs to be an operator because these things need to go through a lot of troubleshooting even when they're running fine
Is harvesting still going on??? As of Aug. 25. I want to try and catch some harvesting action near me but Im only available on wkends and am worried its all over now 😢
I'm not saying that this is your case, but the problem with the monitors is not usually in the monitors, the problem is usually in front of the monitor.
The reliability of ag tech really needs work. The amount of money we pay for these machines, is it too much to ask that they operate for let's say at least 1000hrs before a problem arises!!
Million dollar combines have more sensors than others. They shouldn’t have problems but they do. All new models have issues that’s why it’s best to not buy a new model car or truck until year 2 or 3. Let some else work out the issues

Million dollar machines simply shouldn't stop, or should have overrides.
John Deere says ah
NO
They need more money, simple as that.
Waiting for the day when a subscription is required to start the machine.

@@buckhorncortez cost of the garbage equipment has everything to do with it
Crop is 13x better than last year! We should all take a piece of Mike's positivity💯

“So it’s the next day now....”😂😂😂👍❤️
I think a few crumbs & a little dirt is exceptable in the cab to have some quality time with Chapel & Ashyton
Glad to see you are at least getting something this year. Good luck and stay safe.
unsure if you'll see this but I seriously enjoy your videos Mike. I am not a farmer but have worked in the industry and seeing your perspective is really interesting. Keep it up brother.
Mike I been praying for you my brother. It sucks with how many bad years we’ve had back to back. Thanks for taking us along on your journey
Thank you for your honesty.
Have some friends that have about the same problems you are having. 😢
A bad year is better than no year.
My favorite thing in the world is the twirrly circle of death. Good luck Mike.

Good luck combining your lentils Mike
You impress me being so calm with a new 1 million dollar machine giving problems.😊
Hey mike can we get longer harvest videos i enjoy your content
congrats on the better yield this year over last one
Hi Mike would love to see an hour long time lapse from the combine. Thanks for the videos thanks for sharing 👍 🇬🇧
A time lapse of him sitting there watch screens reboot. LoL
@@dirtdevil70 I wonder how much he swears off the camera. That has to be incredibly frustrating.
@SomeTechGuy666 maybe a lil bit..but Mike doesnt seem to be the cursing type...although they no doubt use less colourful language lol
I love the start of harvest! Its the 6 weeks in the middle of trying stay awake! Then last day comes! "Im really sad harvest is over"!!!!
That's machine is amazing. Last combine I run was an 8820
I think I was missing the combine footage always the best it’s the conclusion of all the things we spends our time for

In our case, we hardly have climatic problems. So mapping the harvest is essential to decide what we will do in the next campaigns.
They work great WHEN they work. 😂 thanks for the video mike.
claas its you only option now mike. that john expensive needs to perform when its needed
Mike: Ever wondered why the Hunter Brothers run New Holland, or why Ashtyn's father runs red?
It really seems like the farmers are now the product testers and it’s costing you and them lots 😂
It always has been that way.
You're supposed to use that time to clean your combine. So it looks nice. ;)
Dont worry Mike, you can fix it right after warranty expires. ...oh wait.
This is why it makes me wonder if all this automation stuff is worth it. If you can't use the thing...the old mechanical ones look pretty good. Can take like 3-4 hours to even get a tech out, blows most of your day
That thing sounds awesome just in the cab

Amazing amount of technology and electronics on these combines. I question as they age if they start having issues it might get very frustrating.
Why wait for them to age? They’re having issues right out of the box. 😁👍🏼

Fire up the 750 Massey😂

Would you ever try a Claas combine?

Nice Content & COOL Video THANKS TO ALL
All you need now is an "operator not in seat" error from the seat sensor!!😂😂😂
Everything man made will have problems, no brand will continuously work without issues
This is very true!
I agree
Ahh the joys of being a crash test dummy for jonny
The combine will calibrate itself after a few hoppers
That landscape is as flat as a pool table, with not a tree in sight. How the first settlers managed I'll never know!
Right?! 😆
@@mikemitchell2554 Have you ever done a video on your family history Mike? Would you want to? I know many folks would be fascinated to hear how the Mitchell family carved a farmstead out of this land.
Seems like self driving farm equipment will never happen if brand new machines can't operate without sensor failures.
lol imagine a bearing failure on a self driving machine no one around for miles in a highly flammable environment you would only figure out about the fire after long after it was out of control and did more damage than the tractor was worth by multiples

Haha 😄 start talking about Christmas works every time.
Interesting how many people have problems with some brands for us JD have been excellent and for others not and thats the same with case NH etc
Ah wish I could work on a farm of that size
Is harvesting still going on??? As of Aug. 25. I want to try and catch some harvesting action near me but Im only available on wkends and am worried its all over now 😢
Nothing runs like a deere😂
Nothing runs like a deer or not 😂
S series and case 40 series for the win
I guess that is why they call it the X-9 To many electronic monitors.
that s jd tech for you a class 8900 is the way to go
Well it's sad that that expensive of a machine even has issues. Like stopping is equating to money being lost.
I know there nice and all.. but was it worth it vs. S790
Almost double.
Magnifique moissonneuse batteuse x9 1000 et la coupe et le GPS est bien équipés pour les grands champ 😮😊😂
Our lentils did 5.5. We’re sticking with peas from now on.
Do you keep that beast full in poor crops?
Quite often with new technology you wind up losing efficiency instead of gaining. New and improved is not always better
Hi Mike will you demo a "Claas Lexion 8900" this year ?
You running deer headers not aftermarket ones
Number 1 reason farm equipment and technology don't work together.
Mike I have a question
Next year the new holland cr 11.90💪
How does he keep his head above water with all these bad years 😢
Do you have it in flex mode
Mike have you ever ran a Gleaner Combine up there?
Looks good to me
at the end the laverda/fendt were not that bad,
5 of 6 were good, right?
Haha it's was more like 3 or 4 out of 6 were running 😆.. No, they were far worse for us
New Case Quadtracs are the same, screen is forever loading it is an actual disgrace
Why grow lentils at all if the yield is so poor. I must say that is one crop I haven't combined?
Morning
Maybe Try a Claas next go around. LOL
So lexion with greenstar when 😊
I love how he says len'ils.
I'm not saying that this is your case, but the problem with the monitors is not usually in the monitors, the problem is usually in front of the monitor.
Mike! Why don't you buy a New Holland combine?
So, it doesn't matter what color the paint is on the combine, still problems, eh.
The reliability of ag tech really needs work. The amount of money we pay for these machines, is it too much to ask that they operate for let's say at least 1000hrs before a problem arises!!
I make a great red lentil soup.
Try a case😊

You need to get yourself a Cr10.9
Sorry the combine is kicking up
Buy a Claas 8900👌
That beeping is almost as bad as the pro700😂
This world is going down hill with all the issues new equipment and semi trucks gave with sensor and emission problems. emissions
👋😊
with that much sleep i thing that thing would restart and i would power down lol
Must be a Canadian thing.... 😅😂
Quick Mike pick one……..X9 or Ideal???
Oh, X9 forsure given that choice
I love your vedos
how do you know its dust not not fire smoke coming of it?
Smoke would have a different smell to it. You can smell even smoldering spots long before you can see any smoke!
@@kevinmeyer3884 okey thanks. Makes sense. I was thinking: dude with all that dust in the air I would always be worried that something is burning 😂
Get a Gleaner!!
