Well this is a nice drill for the northern farm. That way you dont have to send one from the south up north and you'll save transportation cost. Now about all thats left is a combine & sprayer for the north and you'll all set and will just have to drive up there in the truck. Hopefully all this late snow leaves plenty of moisture to get the seeds a good head start
Mike you are really getting serious on the north farm. I see possibly by the end of next year with some good crops and the high prices you will have all the equipment you need up there. Also I see a nice equipment storage building and a nice house for you and your new family!!
An item to add to the top of your wish list or for stocking stuffers at Christmas is more cell phone chargers & durable cables so each unit has their own charger set that stays in the appropriate cab
Right?! I just grabbed my set out of my older sprayer cab and plugged it in to the seeder tractor and the cable doesn't work anymore.. I was like really?! 🤦🏻♂️😆
@@mikemitchell2554 Unfortunately so many of the phone cables on the market don't last long before giving issues. Even some brands of braided cables are simply poorly made. I have had EXCELLENT LUCK with the braided cables from Costco plus they come in longer lengths.
It would seem that as all of us viewers know, that you are way way overdue on putting cell phone chargers in every vehicle and tractor you own/drive...So bite the bullet an buy half a dozen phone chargers and put one in every vehicle and tractor so that way you will always have one with...Then keep a spare around handy for those times when you hafta drive a sprayer, somebody else's tractor/truck or semi...That way wherever you are, Your Always Prepared...And if you get enthusiastic pick up a phone holder which can have a clamp mount, or a suction mount or even a magnetic mount that you can use in the cab or outside the cab so your not forced to always hafta hold your phone when recording a video...
You have to plant winter wheat in fall. We usually plant around mid October when it’s starting to cool down it doesn’t like heat. Down here in the mid west nobody plants spring wheat. Winter wheat is only planted to double cropped with a soybean after.
How many farms have you got up there? Well I wish you'd come to Lesotho and do more farming like that, we will greatly benefit a lot from your farming expertise
Yo Mike in Welker farms live stream somebody made a joke about u and your planting set up going to help them plant also in Central Illinois farmer were planting last week .
Mike, I have question. After seeding snow on the north farm, when will be snow harvest time? And which header do you use to harvest snow? Finally, how much bushel per acre do you expect? 😂😂😂 Seriously, I can not wait for your next video to see what you were actually doing, driving circles in the snow.
Not sure if they still make them, an FM modulator. So a simple sign on the back of your machine would read “ tune your FM radio to such and such a channel for more information”. And you can be singing or talking in to your microphone. They use to make them as kids toys.
I used to use them for some of my previous cars that didn't had an aux of usb. Parking somewhere with the homies and they can tune in, easy party's in the weekend
What is the legal width in Ca for farmers? In NY Farmers get 12' with no special requirements. Over 12' to 17' You need lights & flags and if at any point you have to cross the center line it has to be escorted
I love the idea of the sign on the back! I have always wanted something like that on my truck. Difference is that you can fit an e entire sign trailer on your rig lol I drive freeways a lot, and I often see giant transformers or refinery vessels (or SpaceX rockets lol) where they have to take up the entire freeway for hundreds of miles with a giant fleet of cops and pilot cats, and that's what they do, pull over every few dozen miles at pre planned wide spots or ramps to let traffic past. It sucks to be stuck in the mess, but better than if they didn't pull over! Lol I appreciate your proactive management of the traffic, and looking out for the little guys.
Okay sorry for the question but my English is not the best, how Far is the north Farm away from your Main Farm ? maybe you have told that in your Films but to understand English is not so easy as reading it. And why did you sell the john deer 620 with tracks and not the one with wheels ?
@@mikemitchell2554 Thanks for your reply. Could you make a clip with your drone when you come to the end of an field and make your turn. I geuss you leave the 'head land' untouched and make straight lines and then follow the contour of the field for the finish touch? and please can you explain the diffrence between a feeder and a planter? They both do the same job isnt it?
@George Jones i do watch his videos. But i did not see a video with a full turn. If you know, please send me the link. He does not have a video with a full turn recorded with a drone from above
I'll jump in here since Mike hasn't already. Yes, they do a pass or two (depends on the farmer) around the contour of the field to leave space to turn around. Also remember that the drill is 84 feet wide, leaving 84 feet of space between passes to turn around in. As for the difference between a seeder and a planter. A seeder deposits the seed at a set rate (say 20lbs/acre). It does not count every individual seed and is used for fine crops like canola, wheat etc. A planter plants seeds at specific population, say 40 000 plants per acre. To achieve this, each individual seed is placed at the determined distance to achieve that population and thus every seed is counted. This is used for larger seeds such as corn etc.
@@j.e.honiball1327 Thank you. So the best application if you want a mais silage is to use a planter and not a seeder. Please a final qeustion. Let say you own 125 acre of field. And you are alone with no workers or employees. And you want to finish the job in the field in 6-8 hours. Like planting or tilling. or spraying. What size of machine you need behind a tractor at least? 20 feet? 40 feet? And will a John deere 7 RX with 310 HP do the job? Or do you need a bigger tractor for the 125 acre in 6 hours?
@@tjakko4659 ah okay so if its stuck they wont attach the cable to the front of the tractor but actually pull on the rear of the tractor ? (Behind the hinge)
@@tjakko4659 Correctomundo! The cable is secured to the most robust area of the machine near the joint. If it gets stuck, try to find someone to crawl through the mud, water, or snow to attach a chain or Yankum rope correctly. Mike Less also mentions it in his last video.
Mike, why dont you make an aircraft license? Already got the spray plane and when its not used you could fly up the north farm in a fraction of the time 🤔
My brother has his and has flown me around . But it's good to know your limits - I push them all the time. I would most certainly die within the first year because of pushing the limits.. So no, I won't get it.. Haha I would like to give myself a fighting chance at a longer life 😆😆
He answered it in some videos, the north farm will still be a "hobby farm" and risk management for him, the south farm will always be the most important farm.

Careful. Running a seeder down across a field and the the neighbours will think your going, and they need to go
Haha right?! 😆
Or they'll confirm that their neighbor is out-of-his-mind!!! 🤪
@@arkiefyler Ofcourse they think that, while they are running towards their own seeders
@@arkiefyler im sure they've watched a video or two and already know it 😉
Great awesome video mike, nice seeder u picked up , I can see you and your family living up there in the future
And we love watching you do what you love to do
Thanks Brent! 🙂

I followed you out of Speedy Creek the day after this video. You had the half ton on the trailer and I figured you were coming from the north farm.

That's a wonderful idea I wonder if you have just predicted the future? 😀
We’re planting corn as you speak, little chilly but was 80° the day supposed to mid around 70° again.
God bless you Mike
I’ve been watching you from the beginning and love your sense of humor,watching and listening to your knowledge and love of farming
How many years has it been since the epic machinery tour vid? Took off like wildfire
Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤️
Here in Kentucky when we try are planter out in the early spring we all ways get a call from some of the neighbors.
Planters in the ground here in northern Illinois! Corn first for us
Get a LED sign on the rear with a count down until you pull over.
A heck of a machine.👍

Wow all that snow..wish we'd get that in Iowa in like January
Triple tires is what I am used to at the dealership, very nice tractor!
I see the first aid kit electrical tape. Ready for the season. 😂
If I remember right, the 84' has two pins, and the 68' only one ;-)
Although there is a wheat variety called "Winter Wheat" the ground does have be thawed for seeding to actually take place 😂🤣
My neighbors is already knee high here in Oklahoma
You have to plant winter wheat in fall. We usually plant around mid October when it’s starting to cool down it doesn’t like heat. Down here in the mid west nobody plants spring wheat. Winter wheat is only planted to double cropped with a soybean after.
Mikes planting new type of winter wheat
Jesus Marge !!!! Mitchell`s out seeding ! Get my lunch pale ready !
Good luck mike
Thanks Mike! Enjoyed the video
mike you can move the second quad of cameras by swapping a set of wires on the cart
Your road sign could say something like: unit pulls over in(time there are back)😅
Great video mike
Fast Ag Montana is using a Bourgault 91300! That is one nice machine with Red E help!!

One of your right front tires has the tread backwards. I assume that’s for backing out of the mud holes? 😂
I like the road trip Videos.
Haha thanks! 🙂
@@mikemitchell2554 makes for a good q and a
You get all the coolest toys!
I thought you were trying to plant snow peas in that snow
Seeding oats in the snow like the old timers.
Did you check your bolts on the wheels make sure none were missed when reinstalling
Mike, I think you forgot to load the inoculant. 🤣

Ahhhh the north farm......A little peace of paradise on earth
But Mike, you should have cleaned off those splatters on the hood, while waiting for JD to warm- up.
Are triple trips more enjoyable than 4 track trips with roading and frozen ground? Is there any power/speed hop with the triple's on this tractor?

Why do those drills have a couple big tires in the front of the center section and small duals in the back?

Hello Mike
Did you know that seeding snow 200 kg/ ha in the end (harvesting) can be up to 3 toner per hectare. I mean it!
Mike hello you repaired your Bourgault which cracked inside during transport from the farm from north to south?
It’s called frost seeding 😂
Hey @mike mitchell.....are you getting any new helpers since those other two are gone
I miss seeing Lee.
Have fun buddy
So I haven't tuned in for a long time, so are you guys building a hard up there?
Fix that windshield wiper cable that's hanging. It's driving me insane!
