It's crazy to see the field that you were burning years ago now being seeded so cleanly, crazy how years following you flew by but still you keep making new and interesting content. Thanks Mike!
Mike love the footage always keeps me on edge of my seat. Yup it’s time for a side by side an drone for some of those shots. Need you able to go home at days end. 😂😂👍
In Europe we have many Fendts. They actually are less fuel efficient than the JDs. I cannot talk about the 9R in comparison to the big tracked Fendt. But the 8Rs are better on fuel than the 900s and 1000s Fendt Vario🙏
Mike , I grew up on a small farm in Illinois and really enjoy watching your videos. But as a father speaking to a new father, it time to get a drone for those great shots around moving equipment and for god sake stop bin jumping.
As your disclaimer said, Mike is a professional. But it still gives me the willies when you run that close in front of the tractor. One little dirt clod or rock poking up and the poor guy in the cab has squished Mike after he has tripped. But since you posted the video, I know that didn’t happen. Now, if you ever stop posting, what are we to assume?😮
Mike,just as long as your equipment rides doesn’t put you in the same category as the Oceangate guys! They were like “everybody said this couldn’t be done! Everyone said it was too dangerous! But we did it! We proved them all wrong! Yippee! Yippee! Yippee! Oh crap”.
Thats crazy it cost that much to move equipment. I really have no clue about cost or the process but is the cost so high because of permits or what makes it so high.
Hi, how many hours can you expect from fendt tractor. I have in mind something like 714 vario. How long before you need big engine repair or vario transmission repair? And what is cost of it. And how often are breakdown? Any apinion appreciated.
Get tractor driver on the radio for SAFETY!! Then dance and check the bin levels With the Fans shutoff! then you are useful up there. Better than a camera in the tank.😊
I have a question here... why do you directly seed instead of using the plow and so on to prepare the ground. What is the advantage of plowing and does it make a difference in crop yield?
@@wssidesI agree with first part but the “no advantage” that only applies to mikes poor soil once you get to good midwestern black dirt “no till” never does as good as conventional tillage.
Is the 1167 too heavy for your tilt deck trailer? I suppose if you don’t use the heck out of it then it won’t depreciate much. It’s more hour based then age with a new unit like that. Still a lot of overhead on a tractor only seeding a few weeks a year.
Have you ever though about getting yourself a helicopter or aircraft to fly back and fort. Looking at the associated cost and your worth in terms of time and health, you should analyse how much time you are spending in between both in travel. There is a large cashflow outlay however the time you will have to work on both farms and time with your family will be more valuable.
I have thought about getting my license, but then I might push the limits too hard and kill myself 😆 better I get my younger brother - who is a pilot to fly me
@@mikemitchell2554 that is fair old argument, i did know that, he would of been the best to train you and save you some cost for your PPL. Might be a food for thought in a couple years once you grow tired of back and forth. :) Good luck for the upcoming season and let me know of I support the channel with a free pelican case tool kit to keep in you truck 🫡
Never get cocky on ladder..... That's what this Mason told me.... I was very careful on my ladder... And when I built my shop I did not have one accident involving a ladder.... You know showing people how fast you can run up and down that ladder on a piece of moving equipment... 5 miles away from any medical services... If you trip one time... You don't have both hands-free because you're making a video.
Mike, with all due respect, please stop taking unessessary risks! You are a husband and Father! If you trip and get under a track or drill or cart! Please, I enjoy your videos too much.😢
Mike, think about your family. What if you got run over by that cart or badly injured and died. How stupid would that be? Get a drone, fly it from the top of the cart. Job done.
That's a very good question! I am actually not sure yet... this last year or two has been so hard to find equipment (shortage) that dealers can't for fill what they sold, let alone keep units back for demo. It's been tough
The riding equipment seems ok, it's walking backwards immediately infront of the fendt, on uneven ground, while the operator is looking backwards that's really asking for tragedy. Not worth it for the shot, and makes me want to stop watching to stop supporting that kind of risk taking. Great seeing the equipment close up and in action. Please take care, Mike!
😆 Right?! Actually back in 2016/17 I took up running. I was running around 20km a run until I pushed my self too hard (didn't know that possible) and gave my self shin stints. Now if you see me running, you better turn around and run too! 😆
Its one thing to be climbing up the back of the cart, not very dangerous there, but the other things you do I think are pretty irresponsible, first you have a young son, why take chance with that, second why give the operator something more he has to be concerned with, if you were to trip while running in front of the tractor, and he was looking back, you would die! and he would have that on his conscious for the rest of his life. Although your wife suddenly being available probably would make another guy happy in the future., why help another guy to be happy?
It is very satisfying listening to the planter.
It's crazy to see the field that you were burning years ago now being seeded so cleanly, crazy how years following you flew by but still you keep making new and interesting content. Thanks Mike!
You do get the best action shots, just don’t die in the process.
Mike your cinematography has gotten so interesting. Love seeing the machines work close up. Good job.
Mike love the footage always keeps me on edge of my seat. Yup it’s time for a side by side an drone for some of those shots. Need you able to go home at days end. 😂😂👍
0:46 The Flying Wallenda's were all experienced pros as well. Accidents happen. We love you Mike!
Great video Mike. Best wishes to you and your family.
Ive watched you since 2020 (not you i mean your channel) and it is awesome to see these big drills in action
Good luck finishing seeding at your north farm Mike
After running both the Fendt and 9620R on the same drill is the Fendt as much better on fuel as the dealers say?
In Europe we have many Fendts. They actually are less fuel efficient than the JDs. I cannot talk about the 9R in comparison to the big tracked Fendt.
But the 8Rs are better on fuel than the 900s and 1000s Fendt Vario🙏
Mike , I grew up on a small farm in Illinois and really enjoy watching your videos. But as a father speaking to a new father, it time to get a drone for those great shots around moving equipment and for god sake stop bin jumping.
Only have to trip once.
That's why he hates rocks in his fields 😂
Mike im telling you, you should really get a dji drone, makes the shots in front of the tractor A LOT safer
Mike the human farmer drone.
I was hoping for an undercarriage shot 😂.
When I see Mike on the Cart, I keep waiting for the 'Titanic Music' (Where My Heart Belongs by Celine) to play !!! Keep up the great videos !!!
L O V I N G E V E R Y B I T O F C O N T E N T ❤
Magnifique fent 1167 et le semoirs et la cuve 😂😅😊
Great video Mike

Morning
Morning!
Looking forward to harvest wen are you going to yours a class combine on the farm can’t wait 🇬🇧 🙏
I was thinking the same thing, a nice lexion 8900 with terra trac would be nice!
Ottimo video quasi come Steven Spielberg 👏👏👏👍🔝un saluto dall'Italia 🇮🇹
Can’t believe the new guy gets the shiny new Fendt! You should have stuck him on Bert doing auger work.
I would be very nervous if I were driving the tractor and you were running around it
I would refuse to drive the tractor if he did that.
Mike,just as long as your equipment rides doesn’t put you in the same category as the Oceangate guys! They were like “everybody said this couldn’t be done! Everyone said it was too dangerous! But we did it! We proved them all wrong!
Yippee!
Yippee!
Yippee!
Oh crap”.
😆 That was a bad deal forsure! Tho it's crazy to me that people think what I do is "crazy" 😳 I definitely couldn't ever post half the stuff I do 🤷🏼♂️
Leaving equipment at other farm is fine. Unless you havtheve Road Gear and the tires for the highway miles. 6:04
7pm in Canada looks like 1pm in South Africa
In die winter net anders om 😁
Wait til you see winter… 1Pm will *look* like 7pm 😂
Did they have cross country track in your h.s.? You running around the front of the machine showed lots of endurance...wow...
Thats crazy it cost that much to move equipment.
I really have no clue about cost or the process but is the cost so high because of permits or what makes it so high.
Yes, please break down the cost of that for us if you have time. Thanks!!!

Mike, as a professional bin hopper and equipment rider, I would also love to know where I can also be certified... Unless you're not...!!!!

Round is a shape!
I like your videos
Hi Mike I have commented a few times and they keep disappearing are you seeing them love the content watching in ireland 😂❤
Been doing overseeing here on football fields. 4.5mph all day. You did more in 10 minutes than me all day. Thank You Mike.
Over seeding. Tech moment....
Howdy Mike
I have a question here... why do you directly seed instead of using the plow and so on to prepare the ground. What is the advantage of plowing and does it make a difference in crop yield?
Moisture retention is a big consideration
Additional equipment, time, labour and fuel for no advantage in well farmed land.
@@wssidesI agree with first part but the “no advantage” that only applies to mikes poor soil once you get to good midwestern black dirt “no till” never does as good as conventional tillage.
Is the 1167 too heavy for your tilt deck trailer? I suppose if you don’t use the heck out of it then it won’t depreciate much. It’s more hour based then age with a new unit like that. Still a lot of overhead on a tractor only seeding a few weeks a year.
🔥right on guyzz, don’t no why but a professional bin jumper sounds pretty badsss.. how’s the drill fan intake update kit working out ?🔥👊🔥🏍⚙️🔨🚜
looks like dangerous stunt . b careful bro
1167 & the sprayer have anti-Mike steps.
fendt! 9:53
Why are you only going 3 or 4 mph when planting grain
👋😊
how have the snorkels been working for ya?

I hope we will get a 1167-washing-video ;)😅
Need a seatbelt up there 😊
I don’t believe any farmers regret a delay in completion of seeding because they got rained out
Done? never!
Mike, is that Fendt maxxed out and full throttle right now?
Mike, I have a question:
How the hell is the 1167 still dirty? 😉
Another stuck and no time to spend cleaning.
Farmer buddy of mine lost his life playing around with implements
Have u been getting any rain in sw sask in June?
No... It's getting bad here again
@@mikemitchell2554 yeah same. Cereals are heading out. Can see between the rows kinda of deal. Se Saskatchewan
@@wallyyuriy8912 😬 I know the feeling
@@mikemitchell2554 lol. Crop insurance for the win again. Jeepers.
Are there any wild fires near you? Every one ok up there?

Who has the most stucks this year?
Mike, think about your family. What if you got run over by that cart or badly injured and died. How stupid would that be?
Get a drone, fly it from the top of the cart. Job done.
Mike no $$ for stucks @ the north farm right. Lol
Mike , what happened to Timmin? Still working for you?
No.. he was on a work visa from Europe.
Yikes, at least make eye contact with Cody before you run in front of the tractor. He was looking back at the drill every time you ran across.
Yikes!! I seen that as well… problem is he’ll only make that mistake once.
Zoom is OK stay at a constant Zoom level while tractor is moving!! that's where people get nauseous! 😢 3:56
Not much demo stuff this year Mike?🤔Nothing exciting to try? 🤷♂
That's a very good question!
I am actually not sure yet... this last year or two has been so hard to find equipment (shortage) that dealers can't for fill what they sold, let alone keep units back for demo. It's been tough
Mike. Do you make new guys sign a waiver that they are not responsible for your safety in the field. Asking for a friend.
No way id work for that guy
😂
Honestly not a terrible idea from a lawsuit perspective 🤷♂️
The tractor driver should be watching Mike all the time rather then the drill. If I was working for him I would NOT be operating the drill.
The riding equipment seems ok, it's walking backwards immediately infront of the fendt, on uneven ground, while the operator is looking backwards that's really asking for tragedy. Not worth it for the shot, and makes me want to stop watching to stop supporting that kind of risk taking. Great seeing the equipment close up and in action. Please take care, Mike!
Stupid is as Stupid does, Are you going teach your son these acrobats also. Why chance injury ?
You only get one chance at life… I don’t get why he takes unnecessary risks when farming is as dangerous as it is already.
😹😹you’ve been saying you’re outta shape for about 4 years, as if you used to be in shape 😹😹
😆 Right?! Actually back in 2016/17 I took up running.

Dude we love your content but please stop running in front of the equipment like that, it's just not worth it.👊
I wonder what a man look like been ran over by a 1167, a set of midrow bander, shank AND a 71300 cart ?
You wouldn't move as fast afterwards 😆
