@@simonpawel3720 Depends on the model and the goodies it comes with, but it's around half a million dollars. The seeder and the tank together should also cost around 300-400.000.
I’m here after playing farming simulator 22’. I gotta tell ya I’ve grown a whole new respect for our under appreciated farmers. Such hard work and such little recognition. Without farmers we would all be starving
And Mike doesn't cover up his mistakes by editing them out. We all make mistakes and do things wrong from time to time. Mike is respectful to the parents and brother, well done Mike
I can't begin to express how enjoyable it has been to watch this channel over the past year this is by far the best farm channel that I watch so here is wishing you guys a great and safe season
Hello from California, Central California. We grow lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, marijuana, cherries, apples, strawberries, green peppers, almonds, beets, artichokes, I can keep going. And so well, the widest we go is about 30ft. When we seed its usually 10ft.
There are hundreds and hundreds of miles between us, but I feel the excitement of the 1st day of planting! Loved that your parents saw you off! Wishing you a bountiful harvest! ✌️
Mr. Mitchell, thank you for the long hours and work you and other farmers do to grow the crops which feed the world. May God keep the fields green and you all safe! Liz
Absolutely agree we did the same thing waited till everyone was loaded and ready to go and all six rolled out together that way when we had to hit the road we only needed to escort once if someone broke down everyone is there to help out and it helped in the field too looks awesome Mike I wish I was there man have fun stay safe guys
ok, when i saw the image of this video i thought it was farming simulator, the first time I see real farming videos, I had never thought to see real farming videos but after seeing this video, I became a fan.
Love it, alot more people should experience this. I guess it really makes you all a family and gets you tradition like this. Working your ass off and making a living like this together is great. Have a good time seeding hope everything goes well!
You seem so happy and full of energy right now... I'm just waiting to compare this video to a video a week or two from now😂😂. Love the vids Mike, thanks for taking your time to upload these
I've been in love with farm machines since my childhood and now seeing these heavy tracked tractors. Its just bliss....not to forget the raw sound of those diesels.
Mike thank you for what you and your family do too feed the world. So dear Heavenly Father watch over the all the worlds farmers as they venture out to the fields. May they have the rains come in needed times.
Three tires on the BACK?? Never seen that before ever!! Thanks for the vid..love to watch these. I grew up on a farm east of Ponoka, Alberta, Canada. God bless your crop this year
“Don’t start by the road...” That’s the rule here in the UK, back in my day when using even a 4 metre seed drill, and for exactly the same reason. A lovely piece of video insight into how things happen all the way across “the pond”. ........and then stop, and check the depth. Brilliant. Thank you
You really are a top notch farmer and boss mike, you always so positive and it’s just awesome..Ppl need be more like u, with all going on round your farm blows my mind 🔥👊🔥🏍🛻🚙🚜
Great showcase how to start seeding the first day and get all details right and those huge rigs up and running and do final thinkering and fine tuning etc. Great to see where the durum is laid, close to the moisture. All clear! Hope you have a good season together Mike, with whole family at faith Hope Farms. Hope there will be rain somewhere.
As always, great explanations all around, Mike. I especially like that you don’t edit out the “oopsies”. You’re as human, and thus fallible, as the rest of us. 😂 3:00 That shot gives a city slicker a true scale size comparison. Those drills are enormous.
@@mikemitchell2554 and that's why we're all here Mike!... no BS, no sponsored crap.. just a real guy, with real struggles and not afraid to show it all to us. Bravo good sir!
I remember seeing loading spot for the drill too during harvest. Low to mid 30s wheat barley. Half the price as 10 years before. Jimmy carter embargo on Russia, ww wont sell to you? Devastating. Now I grew up on a 2500'acre small grain farm with so so 6 pack hired help. We used a Haybuster with huge hoppers and a melroe. There was no calm only lack of skeep and pain from loading hoppers. At least with harvest it's over win or lose. Those Gleaners hammered through the small grains. They made those 427ci diesels scream but never quit. Dropping the chisel plow in after was crazy
I feel more confident now that the "boss lady" has been getting everything organized the last few videos, and reminding you guys how to do your jobs! LoL.
With how light that thing is that might be more of a curse. There's a good reason you have big 4wd tractors on large drills like these; they need the extra size and weight. All the horsepower and torque in the world doesn't matter if you can't get it to the ground effectively.
@@Blake_Painter You said he was being a gentleman implying it was a pleasure to drive the Fendt, I see it as a negative to have to drive it for this application so not being a gentleman and making harder work for her.
@@joshuadoll9000 harder, not real, easy and comfotable to drive. In Germany the Contractors loose there employees if the dont having a fendt. Not every, a lot.
@@Blake_Painter I'm not talking about how comfortable the tractor is, every modern tractor is comfortable in their own way. I'm talking about how badly that small tractor will pull a large drill like that and makes more work for the operator having to avoid slopes.
So pissed, I grew up on a tiny 40 acre farm, left it as a teenager, now living an office job in the city and I see shit like this. You guys have the coolest jobs in the world and I'm stuck behind a desk. Not sure I want to go back to bucking hay or straw into the back of a 1967 F150, but I don't like sitting behind a desk to make money.
The first day of seeding for the “NEWLY WEDS” as you and Ashtyn are staying together and maintain your intimate time together in the same field by sending the other units in an other direction. 😂💕💘💓🤣
Who else played farming simulator and thought these things are too overly crazy and expensive for a farmer to own. Now we see people do own these things. Respect
We just started seeding today! Now I don't need to worry how to spend time on tractor when using gps. Watch Mike's seeding videos while seeding 😄 Cheers from Turkey 🇹🇷
As a Dane I can’t fathom the size of the equipment that you guys get to play with over there. Those drill sets are vast! The size of the floatation tyres on the drills are larger than the rear tires on the biggest tractor on our operation. I wish I could operate something like this one day.
hi Mike. Very impressive set up you have, such huge machinery and so much of it, of a scale we never see here in uk at least not in the southern part where i live, i cant believe with all that equipment you must be always repairing something, and have top eyes like a hawk and try to forsee faults and failures. nice vid.
See a lot of green pulling your drills. You must have gotten a sweetheart of deal from John Deere to go green with their quad tracks especially after watching your critique on track tractors . Smart advertising on their part. All the companies do that with the hutterites too. I do enjoy your videos and getting a bunch of tips with our farming operation.
Yeah seriously. One of their drills could probably seed our biggest field in 15 mins 😂 Heck our entire farm is just 20 more acres than that "small field" they started with
We have already had our first field fire in our area last Saturday and since the fire started in the middle of an field where actually no work was being done the speculation is that ignition was either caused by quads, a dropped cigarette butt or the sun reflecting off a pc of glass. 🔥💨🔥💨🔥
Mike, I've been following you for a year or so now and have always enjoyed your videos. Today my 6 year old son came in and sat in my lap to watch your video and asked if we could write you a message to tell you that you make good videos. Thanks for the content!
After playing farming simulator 17 I’ve gained an appreciation for this kind of equipment and how expensive it is😂😂
How much does the John deers cost?
@@simonpawel3720 Depends on the model and the goodies it comes with, but it's around half a million dollars. The seeder and the tank together should also cost around 300-400.000.
@@EverydayNormalGeek DAMN
@@simonpawel3720 thats just the tractor - the drills are also really expensive
Each set up looks like it would be about a 1.5 million
"This field is only 160 ac" Thats massive, I am a farmer in Belgium and here we called a field from 12 ac big. It's mindblowing!
my thoughts exactly...lol..the scale of this operation lows my mind
Maybe that's why field 8 in fs19 is only 38 ac, and it's the biggest one
@@ethalstan2469 That's probably because FS was first developed in Switzerland, where everything is even smaller...
@@bujinkan1603 I know
Coz it's free land!
imagine jeremy clarkson driving this on his farm
🤣
I was laughing when they called his tractor big. I was thinking how small it is compared to the whole tractor market.
@@zachariahmorris833 i guess its because its very big for england you dont see stuff like this here
@@zachariahmorris833 fields in wester europe are a lot smaller compared to the us there is no need for this kind of stuff
The average field in Europe could be seeded in one pass with that rig 😂
I’m here after playing farming simulator 22’. I gotta tell ya I’ve grown a whole new respect for our under appreciated farmers. Such hard work and such little recognition. Without farmers we would all be starving
growing up on a 100ac farm... the sheer size of this kit is mind blowing for me!!!
+1
Jesus! 😮
Glad to see I'm not the only one who takes off their boots in a closed cab
Mike you do such a great job explaining things unlike a lot of other channels. As a non farmer I really appreciate it. Keep up the great work!
i agree, i was going to say the same thing...👍
And Mike doesn't cover up his mistakes by editing them out. We all make mistakes and do things wrong from time to time. Mike is respectful to the parents and brother, well done Mike
🇨🇮
💯 always showing how stuff is done, not just what, without timelapses
Respect for getting out the food from dirty soil to our tables. Farmers have my 100% respect and support.
Never could imagine a farm this size here in EU. Those carts are absolutely massive!
I can't begin to express how enjoyable it has been to watch this channel over the past year this is by far the best farm channel that I watch so here is wishing you guys a great and safe season
Thankyou good sir! 🙂
There's alot of videos coming your way!
To me as a europrean these units look so friggin gigantic. Biggest drill I've ever run was like 12 feet 😅
Hello from California, Central California. We grow lettuce, tomatoes, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, marijuana, cherries, apples, strawberries, green peppers, almonds, beets, artichokes, I can keep going. And so well, the widest we go is about 30ft. When we seed its usually 10ft.
In canada we see a drill from 10 to 90 feet big.
I remember when we went from a 4 meter combi drill to 6 meter vaderstad we thought we were really flying then lol
Dont use drills but we run 2 20 meter planters. Still amazed every time i go to my cousins farm in manitoba at how big the drills are they run.
That’s because we have farms bigger than some European countries in America haha.
This operation costs more than my whole hometown! Lol
mike is a good farmer he explains everything so good.
thank you for farming so that we can be fed
This kit is massive Mike!!
Haha thanks good sir! 🙂
I was thinking the exact same thing !!
I thought my 40ft would look good 😳🤦♂️
Tom you yealous?
Haha 2 good youtuber keep it up
Monstrous machines ,watching you from Zimbabwe Africa

OH YES.
You have no idea how long we were waiting for this Mike. I wish you and your fellas a lot of fun and hopefully not to many breakdowns!
true! !!
Mike, you have a great relationship with yourself. As usual good video!!!
Man time flies! Feels like seeding 2020 was only a few months ago 😅
