An Ideal update prt 1

- ** Here's some of my thoughts on the Ideal combines so far, now keep in mind what works for me might not work for you and that's ok. 🙂
** We like the Ideals when they are running, they preform well for us in terms of cleaning, separation, spreading, unload speeds, and losses. We struggle with some thrashing sometimes in getting out white caps out, and increased noise in tough conditions... Also we find them to be built too lightly - even tho they are a heavy combine.
** We also like the reduced amount fuel burn, compared to the John Deere S690s that we ran, typically 2-3gal less per hour.
** But, we are currently struggling with reliability issues with everything from sensors, to pieces flying off the combines, to everything else you can probably think of.. 🤷😂 We/AGCO need to get to the bottom of this... So stay tuned for more updates to come.
** I have enough videos uploaded to RUclips to keep us going for next couple weeks haha, so if you are interested in staying a little more up to date, than check me out on Patreon, as that's what I use for my social media account 🙂

I'm sure that you and AGCO's willingness to work together to solve problems like this indirectly benefits the rest of us who purchase AGCO built products. Thanks.
You're one of 3 farming channels I subscribe to. Yours is by far the most educational.
Thanks good sir! 🙂
At least Agco are listening to you and trying to improve some of the issues you are pointing out to them !!!!!!!
That's very true Neil, that's very true.. And we that's the reason we are still here with them
@@mikemitchell2554 Yes, but why i have this feeling that they are testing anew tech on farmers, basically you have to pay hard earned moneys for unfinished product, and its not only AGCO.
@@jagh1410 the predominant reason is that they are machinery manufacturers not farmers, it doesn't matter how much engineering and research goes into a new machine they can never replicate every situation or condition a machine will be subject to in every area of the world. It's only when working in real conditions that many issues show up. Also this practice is not confined to AGCO, all of the major machinery manfacturers work in the same way
@@jagh1410 Using the customer as your beta tester is becoming a very common practice across many industries, unfortunately.
I think the combines are designed in Italy and not Germany like the tractors; might explain the reliability issue
Another great and informative video. As a farmer myself, I appreciate the honesty about every piece of equipment you operate. Don't worry about the length of your videos. Longer the better. Thanks Mike!
Love your take on how no matter what you run, there will always be dilemmas
i'll never need to know any of this in my life time, but I watched every single minute of this video and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Mike, absolutely love that you push, every machine you pay your hard earned money for, to the limits of what the manufacturer’s sell everyone on what they can do!!! Like every other product (car, truck, plane, etc), we expect the things will do what we are told, and we expect we “get what we pay for”. I’m sure all manufacturers have their issues, but would love for each of them to give you a combine for free each year to compare their best tech and reliability 😀
Really liked your review. Not a farmer (I'm mining engineer) but any manufacturer should appreciate your very straightforward comments/review.
who would complain about your videos being too long, the videos are superb, full of fantastic content, fantastic humour, and best of all you say how it is, keep it up mike your awesome.
This is awesome, the actual user is giving feedback and the dev team listens and improves their equipment ! You're doing a great job Mike !
This was the first video of yours I watched. When I looked at the thumbnail was thinking wow he has 2 fendt ideals, man that’s pretty cool. And then I watched this video and found out he had more than that. 🤯
I have no problem with the length of your videos I like the longer ones best. This was pretty informative on the idea 9 I like it when we get to see the inter workings of the equipment and how it works. I've worked on logging equipment some and some smaller farm equipment but have never been around the larger ones. Keep up the good work and stay warm.
Hey Mike, great video. Love your honest up front review. I hope that AGCO realizes your valuable input experience. Agco should pay you for your input and suggestions. This is how manufacturers get a edge, people like you.
John Deere watches as well and as such they learn all the don’t do things without having to spend any money on R&D
They could put a “steering hold” button on the joystick so if you needed your left hand in that situation, you could let go and it would hold the turn until you hit the button again.
Excellent story. I think that you know more than AGCO. Thanks for the great story.
Thanks John!
Hey Mike, I love listening to the voices in your head they ask some good questions and quite clearly drive you mad. 🤪
Love the reenactment of joy stick Vs steering wheel pro’s and con’s. No other RUclipser could have explained it better
Absolutely awesome video Mike can’t wait for prt 2 every make of combine tractor or what ever should have informative videos like this tip top job Mike 👍👍👍
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Great show’s thanks for sharing with us.
I was rolling on the floor as you were describing the joystick. I can understand from running heavy equipment. Can only imagine in a combine.
Well done sir. Enjoy watching honest farming videos. Heck of a warranty on that machine.
Agreed 🙂, and thanks
How many years will you run those machines?
Good review, honest, if it is an issue, don't sugar coat it
It is what it is. If they don't hear any isseus about something it won't get attention. JD goes into destructive mode with their cotton pickers with lumber to see what will break next!
Hello Mike really enjoy the way you present videos and very entertaining in factual. Always looking forward to another one coming. 👍
How does anyone think your videos are too long ? You give a lot of information and honesty in your videos
Great videos! Don’t worry about long or short. You are awesome. Thanks for what you do. Wish i lived in Canada to work for you. Talk about the lights you put on.
Very honest update per usual Mike thank you. Mike: I need to get a bird’s eye view of why this thing keeps plugging! Ok everyone turn off all cell phones and cameras we don’t want any evidence of why I got scalped. (Sticks head into rotor area whilst Ashtyn is full sending combine across the field)I see I see ! Hello Agco send me down a sharks fin ASAP! 👀👍😀
Ha! 😂🤷
Great insite to the development of a new piece of equipment. We know you love the service you get from Fendt and AGCO👍 Have you ever had so much input with any other manufacturer in the past?
Keep up the great work cheers JR
I am glad you ask yourself great questions, it worried be a worry if you kept asking yourself bad questions! I enjoy the humour and info.
Great honest review and I applaud your diagnostics and feedback on them to AGCO. However by the end of it they reminded me of an Italian sports car, ' looks great, goes fast, nothing else matters'. The Claas might not be as sexy but it seems more workhorse.
I would love a dealership like that, because the story of a wrong sensor sounds soo familiar.. Nice video as always and never too long ;)
Hey Mike great video I really enjoyed it. About the joystick steering I use to run a log skidder that had joystick steering and if you were going down hill you had to downshift it and hold it wide open so the steering would keep up and if you were going to road it never run it in high gear you would be in the ditch or rubbing the guard rails. Had to keep the hydraulic pump wound tight to keep up with the speed. Have a good one can’t wait to see another video.
Love your commentary on the joystick for steering!!
Love the videos no matter how long! Great work Mike!!
Awesome content every time. Extremely entertaining for a guy from southern New York to see what goes on in the farming industry. Approaching 100k good for you!
Mike, I liked your in Cab acting great job. Have a good fall and winter. Be safe..
Hi Mike. It would be nice to see a Claas combine on your channel . I talked to some guys farming around Kindersley sk a few yrs back they said in canola they were so much better with less lose . Your channel is awesome . Keep up the great work .
I like that too Larry! Hopefully next year
As always Mike another awesome video you and the wife have a awesome rest of your day
Great video. On some heavy equipment they put a switch on the joystick that you can push that defeats it, and they put a small steering wheel in so you can run either mode. Maybe that would fix the issue around sloughs and roading.
Love the pros/cons and still try to build the machine up and not trash it , that warranty sound awesome
Always always enjoy ur vids man. Very interesting and informative, love the passion and effort put into the vids dude ✌😉.
Thanks 🙂
10:45 You just know when someone is talking with experience. Good stuff! 👍
The fender One is spectacular! Best cab on the market between it and the new Magnum cabs
Over all seem to be high capacity good combines maybe a good slip clutch for the rotors instead of sheer bolts keep up good videos.
Great vid Mike! I had to play catch up. Busy busy! I cant imagine how frustrated you must of been with the plugging and sheer pin issues.
Here in Pittsburgh,PA we had 75° next day it was 50° 🤣 soo yea weather been funny!!👍 I do like those ideal combines!!🤘🤘🚜
MAN never realized taking a drink of your soda could KILL you LOL awesome segment Mike
Nice video :D I like the stance on those maschines. The def Problem you mentioned can come from the standard for aus 32 it self, lowest temp threshold is minus 45-47 Celsius. Maybe the should change it for better temp range, just my thoughts on that ;)
Great analysis, I think Fendt makes great equipment. Also, I love how everything is a puppy. Lol
Hi Mike, great content. It’s to bad these companies use the customer to find out the flaws in there machines.
Quality control begins in house.
If they have a problem that they find during assembly no big deal for them.They fix it and then ship it out. The only problem is you don’t have that luxury. Your livelihood depends on this half million dollar machine operating flawlessly during harvest. I’ve owned quite a few different tractors in my business and I had the most trouble with green. So I jumped ship and decided to see what was out there. I wanted quality control and I wanted most of the tractor designed and built in-house including engine, transmission, frame and the wiring harness. So after a lot of heavy study and I am like you.. I need it to work and work flawlessly. I went with Kubota.
It’s been the best tractor backhoe combination I’ve ever owned. No breakdowns of any kind and the hydraulics are fantastic. I’m 68 years young, So here is my prediction. Kubota is working there way up in the agricultural world one tractor at a time. If and when Kubota manufactures a tractor and combine equal to what your running now, do yourself a favor and check them out, When they catch up to those really high horsepower machines that you are running., I’m sure all of those amenities that your missing on what you have now will be on that Kubota combine and then some extras thrown in for good measure!
One last question? Do you buy or lease these machines for 5 years. I Thank you for the effort and time that it personally takes you to make these videos.
Be careful,stay safe. 🙏
never too long , awesome vid , thank you
I appreciate your reviews. Other youtube people make 'reviews' that don't really tell you anything.
I think they worry that if they actually point out flaws they won't get the free demos anymore.
Thank you for such a complete video. I appreciate it.
Dealer should put a satellite service center in your area during harvest. Would save them money in long run and might get you back running quicker. Mike first video of yours I watched was the one where combine burned up and have been hooked ever since. Enjoy your sense of humor and frank discussion of the subject you are showing.
Thanks Rich! I appreciate that
Great video I enjoy the education I understood it all. God bless you all.
Awesome review Mike! Nice job as always!
Your videos are not too long!! If people don’t like it, they can switch off. Love, you mike!! Keep it up!!
Thanks good sir!
Mike you are an absolute nutter youtuber - love the comaprrisons with the 9 and 10 steering around a slew!!!
Ha! 😂
I wonder if hydraulic belt tensioner would work, almost like hydraulic down force on planter row cleaners. And a simple hinged cover over your gearbox oil dipsticks.
Mike i can emagine that driving with steeringlever (joystick) can be difficult. I think i would be more handy, to have small disc, as some sort of steeringwheel, that you can use with one or two fingers.
The german firm Richard did sell something like that for the old 700 series as an option for reversedrive tractor twentyfive years ago!
That would be awesome! 👌🏼
My B737 has Course Wheel Steer which is what youre alluding to with your invisible joystick Mike! 🕹 be a nice bit of selectable automation - enjoy the content nice work! Stay safe buddy
Awesome Video, Much Love From Kentucky USA!!!
Been there for the Farm show, cool town
Nothing beats the Claas Terra Trac!
Videos are not that long. Its makes a difference when you educate rather than rambling while harvesting. Lol. BUT I enjoy your views/opinions because down here in the states corn and soybeans gets old. Been there done that and seen it. Next. Thanks Mike. Enjoy your off season. You, your wife, the team, and the rest of the family all have a blessed & safe holiday season. Oh...one more thing. Does your dad farm with y'all?
thanks for the update
You have a really impressive set up Mike. My dad used to have one of them old massey’s, lost it to a fire....started under the cab.....switched to New Holland since🤯.......the Ideal is a massive investment but the warrenty is impressive!!!
Where to you park all the combine’s up for the Winter???🇮🇪🇮🇪
Nobody dissects equipment and provides comprehensive pro and con list like Mike
Thanks Andrew 🙂
You have more patience with those combines then I would have.
I didn’t hear you ask for a “Porta Potty” and “Shower” to be added to the cab !!
🤣🚽🚿😂
Also a hot plate /microwave 😂😂
@@stumpjumper-uu7nv for us yupfppp
I mis the BBQ!
And a sleeper cab!
Ill bet my balls all these accessories are an option on the buyers list they give ya that ya gotta tick if ya want em..
Mike that was an awesome video, it's like being at a combine clinic but with out the BS and some one who knows something behind the mic.They should hire you to do online clinics and pay you 100 bucks for every full lenght watch of the video! Can't wait for part 2
Just watched 5 minutes of Mike clutching his invisible joystick...
Ha! 😂🤷
I love hearing stories about things like finding out you need to build a shark fin.
Thanks for the video very good video about the combin
Mike, regarding snapping shear pins on your chafe augers. The coupling plates should have high strength or carbide steel inserts so that the bolts will not round out the holes when they break. I am surprised this is not done from the factory. I have seen them used in shear pin applications in heavy equipment operations.
a machine shop could install carbide inserts in existing coupling plates.
I just enjoy all your vid's no matter if they are short or long. Its just good interesting content and Mike. That's all we need.
Northern harvest conditions and hard threshing crops will definitely show the weak points on any machine!
Great video Mike
Classic impression of the ideal 10 when trying to have some nibbles then you let go of the joystick 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Steering wheel vs joystick explanation was priceless.
Speaking of DEF. Before I left my old job we got a bunch of new trucks with DEF. I told the mechanics that the trucks will be in the shop more often than they will be out working. Also they didn't allow us to idle them. So when your out in -40C waiting you had to shut it down and freeze your nuts off. You be out there sometimes for more than a hour.
Man I would have loved to see you run the Claas 8800. I have seen the 7600 in corn and boy did it just drop a massive dump on all other brands. The way you guys push things would be interesting to see the true performance of machines
No complaints here Mike. Videos are very good and not to long
Great walk through. Thanks.
Agco need to add an option of a “Heated Shop” with every three combines purchased 🤣😂
Great Video Mike 👏👌🏻👍
These are the reviews that John Deere was scared of
They ll get their turn 🤷😂
@@mikemitchell2554 They are scared. They going to get you an x9?
@@doughicken43 they bailed last time.
I think so too. They need to sell it enough first and need only positive things to be said.
This is why it is pretty carefully chosen where in yt world it has been.
Jon Barr I
I don't think so .🤣
btw, there is that think called expo. An exponential curve (for the joystick) then it's not sensitive around the center and gets more sensitive towards the left and right end. That would be easy to implement and is used in other areas for sure already.
Love the way you give your honest opinion on your iron purchaces, good or bad.
Thanks good sir! 🙂
NEVER CAN BE ***TOO LONG***.
Just get settled in for some “Awesome Humour” and “Great Education” and the video ends 😢😩
Thanks Gavin! 🙂
Yes really like the longer videos!
Me too!
Me three
Thanks Mike!!Enjoyed the video
23:25 you're a genius, man, that's just the way it is. Greetings from Germany.
Awesome review Mike, !
That long belt could use an idler pulley about half way just to remove belt slap.
185 cfm air compressor is one of the best things to own for cleaning combines
Love the animations.
When I rewatch it, I am like "what a goof ball" haha 😂🤷🤦
Give this man a grammy
Not too long! Oh well! Let them complain. Your video, right! I find it all interesting
You are probably the most enthusiastic RUclipsr ever!
Ha! 😂 That's either good or bad.. But this time I ll take as good! 🤷
@@mikemitchell2554 thank you! It was meant to be good!
Good show !
Another great video by prof Mitchell
Great review thanks
You're a smart guy, sure helped Agco fix up those combines....do you do headstrong wives lol
