That tractor doesn't have a reversible fan because reversible fans cost (yet more) money and for 95% of your use radiator plugging isn't an issue. Furthermore, if the debris gets caught in the radiator and you reverse it, it is going to push some of it into the condenser where it will also cause a problem. The solution is to open the hood and blow out the rad once in a while.
Group 2 resistance is a huge looming problem across the prairies, especially now with clearfield pulses in the rotation. That's sometimes three group 2 crops in a row (wheat, pulse, wheat). I will never grow clearfield canola on this farm. Avadex is an important herbicide to break the group 2 use up. It does work. Winter wheat also helps in the herbicide rotation. I rarely use group 2 on winter wheat.
Hi from oz mike. I lived and worked on a cropping farm in Saskatchewan near whitewood (east side on highway 1) in 86. That was a very much above average year and we built an extra 3 bins on the farm and converted an old barn to store grain as well. And some of the contract grown crops (ie flax and mustard) were delivered straight from combine .
Hey Mike love the videos man I don’t know where you are but today is 11/7/24 and it’s 85 degrees here in south east Alabama we’re still in summer weather we a two days we’re we got down to 50 degrees here
A pro-till is not an offset disk, it is in the general category of high speed disks, the individual disk spindles allow for a compound engagement angles, and with large implements a much shorter length. An offset disk has two rigid axles forming a sideways V, and the hitch is offset towards the point of the V, this is so turning moment created by the unbalanced draft force counteracts the turning moment created by all of the rear disks pushing to one side and all of the front disks pushing the other. (I mean turning like in rotating a vehicle, not as in plowing soil.) Then you have the X or diamond frame disk harrows, made of 4 gangs which are balanced left and right, but these are normally lighter and more flexible for secondary smoothing and surface mixing, rather than the rough tilling and leveling action of the rigid high-speed and offset types.
There may be a way to stop those back rollers blocking up in damp conditions. Upgrade with a closer scraper set to clear them on each turn. An engineering shop could do it.
Hey Mike, in europe now, there are some 60 foot Bednar discs. There was a demo with the first 9RX 830 in europe in germany with a 60 foot disc. And 35% slip with the 830 in deep tillage with Köckerling Vector which is 30 feet wide, 33 shanks and 14 inches deep, but only 30 inch tracks on the 830. No big airdrills in europe, just little baby drills 😂, but some 60 foot discs, and John Deere said, 35 % slip with the 830 in deep tillage 😊
@iwan8014 it was in the north of germany. Just demo. In eastern germany are some big farms and big fields. In the future, i hope i can see a few big 9RX 710/770/830 and quadtrac 715 doing deep tillage and 60 feet Bednar disc in the east of germany.
Hey Mike, you should try out a Kwik till very similar to the pro till just a lot less grease serks. And you can also get them with a spring packer instead of rubber rolls they work good in heavier soils
Thats good that Degelman nippled all moving joints for longer life. Notched disk blades turn more effectively than ones that are not notched. Widthwise, that 40 foot disk looks like a toy behind the 540 and I wonder if the tractor is wasting power there. Maybe a 50 or 60 footer would use most of the horses and would mean less passes across the field. Wide span implements behind a tractor switch me on-😉
Here in Southern Minnesota there is a local farmer that has a delgelmam and in corn stalks it does a horrible job, we tried a john deere vertical till and we didnt like the job it did in stalks. We would like to try a kinze and a Salford before we decide to buy one
Yeah we tried a degleman in corn stalks as well there’s too much residue trying to go thru and it bunches really bad on 20” corn rows. We run a lemkin and it does an awesome job.
@clearskiesranch1362 ok, the boss has seen one work around here and thinks it does a good job where the delgelman the neighbor has doesn't. Why that is i don't know. I personally have seen the kinze work and Salford and I think the Salford worked the ground better than kinze boss is hesitant about trying a Salford out though. He's got a thing for the kinze i guess
Mike did you or do you plan on doing a video on your thoughts with the two different tire options you had on the 580s? Did you decide to not take the 715?
Mike, next time you are doing a mile long run, give us a explanation about land inheritance in Saskatchewan. Do landowner pass land down to their children and what tax do you pay....or does each generation buy their own land and sell up on retirement? Thanks Mike.
@TheDuckofDoom. I grew up in the red River valley area of north dakota and Minnesota and if there were years when we didn't get much snow the ditches had to be dug out of dirt that had blown in over the winter
Avadex is nasty stuff, I used to apply a lot to potato ground here in the UK, always angry after a day of it for no particular reason. Even with proper safety wear and HEPA cab filters. Organo phosphates…. Oh and I now have brain cancer for the second time… I’m 49. not suggesting there’s a connection, just saying.
Mikey, you've got 2 1st gen pro-tills and are complaining again about the problem only they have. trade one of those in for a 41/45 (cus you won't want a 30/36 too small for you) and you'll never grease it again

7:25 it would be a good idea if the cab were big enough for your whole family to live in.
Give the year these videos are forever

That is a very nice tractor that Case has built for sure
Spelled IH and Steiger wrong. 😉
Great job pro tilling Mike

In the uk we put avadex on after drilling as a layer
Yes Mike. We call them offset disc's. Always liked that arrangement. Steve, wheat farmer in New Zealand. Love your videos. 😊

Far from a offset disk
Still off set disc's to me. 😊
Thanks Mike!
I live in gypsum is all the ponds are dry we cut shin high wheat and flat soybeans finally got some rain this last week keep up the good work

Must be cold, two hoodies and the beginning of a beard on Mike. 😂😂
The new 9RX has a reversibel fan!
Great video Mike

Is that in East Germany? 14 inch is nice and deep

High speed needs a ton of horsepower. That tractor is actually a little underpowered.
Would you rather have a wet spring or wet fall?
Talking chemicals. The old sales rep motto TO WET,TO DRY,TO HOT,TO COLD,TO BAD😂
Hey Mike, It's been a long time no video with A Fendt

Kinze and degleman are the same thing.

Salford 5200 for heavy stalks on heavy ground.
Try a Väderstad Carrier. We like them very much on corn stalks.
Hey mike I have a question - are you still getting the 715 you ordered 😊
I was wondering the same thing
Could be getting the new JD 830 HP. Wouldn’t surprise me!!!
I'm a buddy of mike he bought a 715 an 770
Thx for keeping us in the loop. 😂😂
Nice to see he keeps his cash in circulation.
I’m retired and run my neighbors pro till and he just bought it last year and it has only two grease points so they must have changed things.
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et le tracteur et le dechomer et le grand champ est bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Have you ever planted Grain Sorghum at the south farm?
Mike did you or do you plan on doing a video on your thoughts with the two different tire options you had on the 580s? Did you decide to not take the 715?
You forgot to tell us how deep you go and if you like the LSW’s better than the Tall Tires on the tractor
Mike, next time you are doing a mile long run, give us a explanation about land inheritance in Saskatchewan. Do landowner pass land down to their children and what tax do you pay....or does each generation buy their own land and sell up on retirement? Thanks Mike.
how do you like the case so far you getting a big one
I wonder how that Pro Till would be in corn stubble
Terrible. If the soil or stubble is even slightly wet it just plugs up and slides
@
Thanks
Well here in eastern europe we won't have that much rain till april,maybe like 15% will be rainy days and from may till october 0 rainy days soo...
Say wecould use the old 4 wheeler on this lets not get to spoiled 😂
Mike have you ever used anhydrous on your wheat?
Doesnt the wind over the winter blow the topsoil away when you leave the fields black?
Not in the north where it snows more.
It freezes hard in that area, nothing is loose enough to blow around.
@TheDuckofDoom. I grew up in the red River valley area of north dakota and Minnesota and if there were years when we didn't get much snow the ditches had to be dug out of dirt that had blown in over the winter
@@TheDuckofDoom.I wish I could send you the pictures I have of soil blowing at -30F
@@clearskiesranch1362 Sure if it dries out.
80s were terrible in North Dakota, hear you
Hey Mike I have a question, are tandem or offset discs a thing anymore.
How.many full time guys do u have
Just wondering, do you get more grain from your north farm or your South farm because of the difference in yield?
Per acre of land, the north farm production is way more. I know our farm compared to others I know is like that. Because we get more rain in the north
👋😊
How wide is your protill?
40 feet
You forgot to tell us how deep you.
I don't know why you would shave, you look good in a beard, it's a solid, no patchy beard. Keanu Reeves on the other hand, he needs to shave.
Yes,Keanu Reeves needs to shave
Nice seeing you in a red tractor

Mike, I have a question. You don't make any money, but you keep buying new land .....
Those crop don’t go bye bye for free you know thats cash growing out there
@@rosonoftom1655 Who said he never made any money??
He's actually had really good crops at the north farm, the last 3 yrs!
That Case tractor a lot more noisy than John Deere. A least that’s seems in videos
I would think that a guy with OCD those little patches you miss would keep you up at night 😂
Mike I can’t believe with your OCD it doesn’t bother you to leave those little triangles not tilled!!😂😳
It's a shame that you have spent all the time and money on improved farming practices only to have low yields to show for it.
North farm..yields are great
lol, Yes, the 80's were very dry, ended my farming career. But they still say the 30's were still the worse
kwik-till > pro-till. no greasing
