Ashtyn has come a long way in a short period of time. I remember when I first found your channel, she didn't like being on camera but now she's even adding some funny comments! I guess living with you she really didn't have any choice (LOL) but it's cool that she seems to be enjoying the video side of life! Thanks for all of the cool and interesting videos and I look forward to watching all that you decide to share with us.
Mike, I hope your land up north turns into as big of a farm as your whole farm is now. Best of wishes to you and Ashtyn and your mini person! What a beautiful life you guys have!
8:58 haha. Full throttle regardless of how much I scream. Good job filming the suspense. I fully expected to see Mike flailing around the inside of the bin with the fire hose propelling him through the air.
I loved it when Ashtyn said "Be careful" when Mike was cleaning the 2nd bin. It sounded more obligatory than cautionary, like she's so used to saying it without it being heeded. Also, I'm not sure Mike could even hear it while washing full blast inside the bin.
"I had it wide open then I heard screaming...." - Ashtyn 2021 Lol you guys are cute! I would love the echo in those bins and also the visuals. Its kinda trippy.
This video is awesome, I like when you two work together one on one like this. Yous guys are a really good team. Your personality's compliment one another nicely👍👍
I was thinking the same thing a nice little mini pumper would be the cats ass for doing bins but you really love cleaning tanks and I sure do enjoy the show your so awesome and the funniest farmer I’ve ever known plz don’t change stay safe my friend
Hey Mike....great vid as ever!👍 But don't wash those fert bins. I build them. They need to stay dry...any moisture and the rot sets in. If they're damaged and fert sticks, brush it off and treat/paint....but keep them dry, full or vented. Never washed. Water + most ferts = pain. Try it, then pretend you're steel 🤯 Do what you like with the corrugated grain silos! 🙃
Fantastic video really enjoyed watching your videos every single day or each time you put out a new video that must have been a really nice shower Mike and sure hope the weather was nice and warm I sure wouldn’t want to do that during this time of year. My only question is…. Is it safe to have the fertilizer rain down on you in on your body and then your mouth etc.? Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful safe weekend and continue to have a safe harvest season thank you for all you do
With as much as you guys wash bins and large equipment people would think you'd have a retired pumper fire truck by now for the big items... Many farms that I go to seem to have one.
Did you not see his spray trailer? And that's just counting his, not his brothers. They will blow away an old tired pumper in volume and storage. He already has purpose built water haulers, why get another engine to feed?
I could see you putting a drainage channel underneath the silos, so that when you clean them out with water it could go into the drains and run into a collection area to pump later..or to use in the reservoir..
Hi Mike I can understand washing the outside of those bins because of the corrosive nature of fertilizer on steel and the road salt that got on them but those smooth sided Westeel bins are epoxy lined too help make the fertilizer slide down without sticking and epoxy doesn’t rust. I used too haul fertilizer from the railhead to the local co-op too fill bins like that and keep them full during the season and they used them for over ten years before the co-op merged with a couple other co-ops and they moved the operations to another sight and stopped using the bins and they stood empty for another ten years before they sold them and moved them out. they had never been washed out and they still looked brand new on the inside so the epoxy coating works
Thank you and Ashtyn for continuing making these videos. I am one of thousands of people who love them. However, when you become parents I expect that you won't have much spare time for making videos. A restless baby will get priiority, even over farming.
14:14 mike ''WHATS THAT???'' answering the question in his head... lol wifie just standing there holdin the fone shruggin her sholders and shakin her head.... mike ''GOOD QUESTION!!! .... " lol I would be curious as to HER responce when he does that tho lol she just stand there??? or put up her hand says THAT WASNT ME!~!! lol or wat lol
Just curious, wouldn't it be less work and just as effective to wash the bin down from the top hatch, instead of crawling up inside and getting soaking wet with fertilizer water?
Mike you are a lot braver then I am I would be in there with some kind of rain suit on and eye protection it Kind a looked like it was snowing inside the bin
If this wasn’t a “Family Channel” you could do the washing in your birthday suit and Ashtyn could hand you the shampoo & soap when you are finished. 😂🤣
Ever lift 50’ of 2” hose filled with water? By the time you get it up top along with zip tied to the ladder every foot mikes already done from the bottom.
The obvious answer: It takes more than one firepersons to wrangle a fire hose on flat ground. Your suggesting it would be easier to climb the exterior of the bin, introducing fall hazard, to stand atop the bin (with fall protection? you taking extra time to do that? Remember Mike said he dont' have time) and hold a hose with one hand? while you hold on to the ladder with the other hand? While everything is wet and slippery. Yea that sounds SUPER SAFE. So obvious he should be doing that. lmao. The more obvious answer: the hose is to short.
@@FoodwaysDistribution oh that’s sexy. Maybe a telehandler? Shucks gosh darn. Totally. Hose fills eventually so somebody gets to fasten it to the telehandler boom.
Ashtyn does a good job videoing. During harvest we should have Ashtyn cam. God Bless
what harvest?

Millions and millions $$$ of equipment, bins, and land, and Mike can’t afford a pair of goggles.😂
Or rain gear
You got no time and the nearest town is about 30 minutes at least away.
@@ignorthepain hey he was having fun!!
I don't think he would even use them if he was given them! The man is mad but in a good way!
Why use all that uncomfortable gear when you can just use what you have?
Mike, I hope your land up north turns into as big of a farm as your whole farm is now. Best of wishes to you and Ashtyn and your mini person! What a beautiful life you guys have!
Nice job Mike. Definitely a job for a warm day! That will sure keep your bins looking good and last a lot longer!
8:58 haha. Full throttle regardless of how much I scream.

Great job washing the fertilizer bin Mike
Ashton, you married a wonderful goofball! Life will always be interesting to say the least. Congratulations btw.
As always great videos
How do you stay so motivated and positive as your crops burn up and expect zero harvest, very well done Mike and Ashton
Congrats to you guys 😏 Mike will be the coolest dad on the planet 🥳
One of the Best from Mike !!!!!!
Looked like a Sci Fyi movie with you in that blue bin.
Love the farmers Tan Mike
Great camera job Ashtyn
Watching Mike washing bins takes me back to the one scene in the movie Evolution ... "it's horrible in here !" 😂😂😂
God I love mike and the way he handles things hahaha
Great video Mike and Ashtyn
I was thinking the same thing a nice little mini pumper would be the cats ass for doing bins but you really love cleaning tanks and I sure do enjoy the show your so awesome and the funniest farmer I’ve ever known plz don’t change stay safe my friend
Mike i Just want to tell you how much torture it is to sit and wait for your newest uploads😂😂
Great Mike Mitchell Video, thanks for sharing
You should have wore your swimming trunks Mike! 😂
Congrats on oncoming childs
You are one wild guy having fun at what has to be done, Mike. Lucky you have such a good wife that keeps up with u but keeps you grounded and centered
Mike is having a lot of fun in that bin 😂😂
Hey Mike....great vid as ever!👍

They are in the middle of a megadrought, lol. Those bins dry faster than british humour.
Alternative title, "Mike sings in the shower" 😆
Your awesome mate!
14:14 was hilarious Mike, we/you asked and you answered :)
Any one ever say u was 🤪 crazy? Lol. Love it
That are very cold for your body take a shower
Mike you mentioned being short of water the other day..... Thank you Ashtyn for doing an excellent job on the video.
It's Magic Mike back at it again!!! Lol
I’m fairly sure by the look 👀 of poor Ashton, Mike did more full jam than she probably wanted! 🤪🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
8:53 I just got pictures in my head about Mike's adult coziness in the evening 😚😂
Fertilizer shower, right on, might as well grab a spoon, ha!
Congrats on 150k subs
Good job you got your hat on Mike, you would of got wet other wise! 😂
Something horribly futile about Ashtyn telling Mike “Be careful!”
Dude I'm watching this video high and it's so damn trippy
Well at least Ashtyn got him to take a shower !
Cold water on a hot day should feel great, after you get over the shock of hypothermia.
"I know I'm screaming but ignore that and crank it up" Haha that was funny
Great to see and hear your beautiful there with you. Have a great day.
I meant to say wife .
Ah bins didn't need cleaning, Mike just wanted an excuse to play with water.
Good video. Krown makes some great products for corrosion control. And it's made in Canada.
Fantastic video really enjoyed watching your videos every single day or each time you put out a new video that must have been a really nice shower Mike and sure hope the weather was nice and warm I sure wouldn’t want to do that during this time of year.

First time I've heard mike cuss in about 75+ videos I've watched I love it mike lol dude just starts blasting
😂😂😂 when?
I think I would go up top and wash down,but hey that’s just my crazy way of thinking 🤔
My father had 20 hopper bottom bins before he retired. He always went to the top with his hose and washed down.
With as much as you guys wash bins and large equipment people would think you'd have a retired pumper fire truck by now for the big items... Many farms that I go to seem to have one.
No, I don't think people think that at all. Just you think that.
I would agree old fire trucks are super cheap
Did you not see his spray trailer? And that's just counting his, not his brothers. They will blow away an old tired pumper in volume and storage. He already has purpose built water haulers, why get another engine to feed?
This is his fire truck
That’s a new shirt. “INDISE THE BIN IS BLUE”
I just bought 2 fert bins...I have to wash them to
the bins are BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can we get Ashtyn to interrupt with "Hey Mike, I have a question" every couple minutes.
That comment should have started with "Hey Mike, I have a question"
Chet, Dougo & the Big Swede have tons of experience using a foam gun with excellent results
Cornstars like the foam they use also
Afternoon.
A old fire truck might work real good a friend of mine has a fire truck works great
Might as well jump in with both feet on projects like this, you're gonna get soaked anyway, so jump in and go full send!😀
Never a Dull moment around you mike
I could see you putting a drainage channel underneath the silos, so that when you clean them out with water it could go into the drains and run into a collection area to pump later..or to use in the reservoir..
Liquid Fert
Love the shirt!
Mike has a fire hose lol 😂 that makes it more interesting 🧐
22:05 hahaha what a guy
Have you found it difficult to get life insurance once they have met you?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤫😂
Inside the bin with the hose looks like a decontamination scene from Chernobyl.
Will the water make you itch?
I mean fertilizer on your skin sounds bad, but I would assume this is pretty low amounts?

How did you anchor the bins down? Don't recall any footage!
Yep. You married that guy! Lol
Thought there was a hose pipe ban!?!?! 🤣🤣
Just a question why don't you wash the silo from the top lid ( climb up the outside ladder), instead of getting all wet?
Love the video
11:28 that’s an impressive stream you have there, Mike

Let Ashtyn wash the bins next time ;)
is it just me or does it look kinda sus when mike sprays the lid through the hatch of the silo 🤣🤣🤣
Just curious, wouldn't it be less work and just as effective to wash the bin down from the top hatch, instead of crawling up inside and getting soaking wet with fertilizer water?
It's not east to hold that 2in hose full of water up on the top of the bin actually
Are you going to repair the rusting spots?
That's nothing to be worried about
Mike you are a lot braver then I am I would be in there with some kind of rain suit on and eye protection it Kind a looked like it was snowing inside the bin
Hello Mike 🆗👍🤣😂🇮🇹
Mike is a little boy with the garden hose.
Ashtyn is pregnant congratulation to your family.
Funniest Guy on RUclips
Watching Mike play with his hose at full jam sounds a bit more disturbing than it is.🤣
If this wasn’t a “Family Channel” you could do the washing in your birthday suit and Ashtyn could hand you the shampoo & soap when you are finished.
😂🤣
Rare footage of farmer Mike taking a bath. Reminds me of the I saw him take a spray plane dusting.
Have you never heard of a raincoat LOL
I'm sure you've said sometime, but what brand pant are those you wear?
Engelbert Strauss from Germany
The obvious question: Why not climb all the way to the top from the outside with your hose and douse/clean the internal walls from there?
Ever lift 50’ of 2” hose filled with water? By the time you get it up top along with zip tied to the ladder every foot mikes already done from the bottom.

So obvious he should be doing that. lmao.
The more obvious answer: the hose is to short.
@@stirv6462 what if i told you he has enough gear to have that EMPTY hose lifted up there while he climbs the ladder ...
@@FoodwaysDistribution oh that’s sexy. Maybe a telehandler? Shucks gosh darn. Totally. Hose fills eventually so somebody gets to fasten it to the telehandler boom.
@@FoodwaysDistribution you can’t wash something with an empty hose
Mike Mitchell wet t-shirt episode lol
When is your baby due? How are you going to manage, Mike, without Ashtyn on the drill? I'll congratulate you both, when baby is on the scene.
Oh dont worry. She'll be on a airdrill next spring, baby or not.
Turn the dial all the way to the - sign in the foam cannon. The foam will stick better.
Mike's wet T-shirt contest... We have a winner!
What do the safety data sheets for the fertilizer say about showering in the stuff?
Shower after 🤣
What name brand pants are those Mike!?
Can you go to the top and use that access to help cleaning?
me sitting here saying screw that
