Mike, I have watched you deal with so many problems over the years from combine fires, clogged augers, drought, equipment problems and that’s just the start. But you always have a great attitude and live up to the name Faith-Hope-Farms. You keep the faith and are always hopeful for a good outcome. It’s why I began watching your channel and it’s the reason I keep coming back. Have a blessed day😊
Mike, I used to drive an 18 wheeler, and if I couldn’t get winter diesel, I would put about 2 gallons of unleaded gas and 2 qts of automatic transmission fluid per 100 gallons of diesel, and that did the trick. The unleaded thinned the diesel and the trans fluid put the lubrication back into it.

The anti-gel needs to be mixed before it freezes. Just dumped into a cold tank it sits on top of the jelly, and even if mixed mechanically it won't dissolve the wax crystals because its job is to prevent crystallization starting from the liquid state. (The gel is really a network of micro-crystals holding the remaining liquid, sort of like a sponge.) There is an optional additive used in jet fuel to prevent dissolved moisture from freezing out (big brand name is Prist), not really about gel but the ice crystals can clog the fuel filter. JetA is basically No 1 fuel oil that was dewaxed to -40 (Jet-A1 is -47) , and they still put the oil coolers in the tanks and further heating the fuel lines just before the fuel filter, and have minimum idle-power requirements while at altitude for sufficient heat. Though Jet A makes fewer assurances of lubrication than "diesel".
If my memory serves me correctly Winter diesel has less oil content than Summer diesel does. I learned that by watching your farm video where 3 Super B fuel tankers arrived at the South Farm to replenish your supplies. I recall the driver had a huge wealth of experience & very kindly explained the whole process which was very kind of him.😀
It's the paraffin content in the Diesel fuel. In extreme temps the paraffin begins to crystalize and tries to become candle wax. Winter climate Diesel blends have far less paraffin in them. My maternal grandfather had to deal with gelled diesel a ton farming in Illinois. My dad's dad ran gasoline and LPG tractors to deal with Amarillo winters. Amarillo can look a lot like Saskatchewan during the winter, just far fewer days of it in a year.
#2 diesel has a higher hydrocarbon molecule size. Winter diesel is basically 50/50 #1 which is kerosene that has lighter hydrocarbons but will evaporate in the summer temperatures. Also kerosene has less btu’s per litre/gallon.
mike you are so funny, 😀 crazy that you could leave your machines in the field for a long time, in Belgium your tractor would be long gone.🙈 Many GPS systems are stolen here from machines in sheds.
If it's above freezing, install JD fuel flow improver and you can run the summer fuel down to minus 15 and then you can also add winter fuel without draining the summer fuel
@@leddielivewhat it really means is that John Deere is living rent Free in your head. On a per unit treated it's cheaper than a lot of the competition
You know Mike for some reason it was really painful to see that beautiful new red tractor sitting all alone out in the frozen tundra. He really needs to be taken home.😂😂
The implement was probably frozen to the ground anyway.......some old timers around here use gasoline in the diesel but the proper amount is up for debate. Leaving it set seemed like a wise move.
Mike Mike Mike Mike Just another reason why it's unfortunate that you live in Canada. Here in the states They haven't banned Cherry flavored Anti gel diesel treatment yet.
The first bit is the short updates he puts on Patreon for the day to day activities, then the RUclips video take starts, he’s forgotten to separate them or there was a bug in uploading.
Ahhh……. What a LetDown Mike. We wanted a Cold Start. 🤔 wonder if these New Tractors would even Start @ -4 F. Us Americans Hate the Metric System. Well Mike…. You Knew it was gonna be Cold out why didn’t you Treat your Fuel on the Last Fill up ? 😮
They were busy emptying grain bags to fill grain contracts and that’s way more important than a tractor they won’t use for a few months. It’s not a big deal

Thanks for keeping the vids going. We can live with some less fancy editing so you get more family time
I love you guys. You know what you have to do but you never have what you need to do it

More miles to drive with the new farm. Please be safe!
Welcome to "Mike's farming in the arctic" on this episode we will learn to prepare snow for planting!😂😂😂😂
U know how fun it would be to pro till a snow field !!! Sounds like a new Christmas song !!!

@@JaredJanhseni would never have seen that a thing. Amarillo winters huh
Mike, all those snow covered fields are good for winter wheat
My old man told me once,if you shake it more then twice your playing with it. 😂
Man,Mike sounds back to his usual cheerful self!
mike you are so funny, 😀 crazy that you could leave your machines in the field for a long time, in Belgium your tractor would be long gone.🙈 Many GPS systems are stolen here from machines in sheds.
Who's the usual suspect?
@@7rixeethey are probably traveling gangs. I haven't heard of anyone getting caught yet.
@@7rixee Someone who wants to sell "cheap" spare parts
Used tailgates are free at the canadian tire parking lot. Even perfect color match! At least thats where mine disappeared!😢😢😢
Mike that extension cord in the back of your truck is there to plug in your tractor go ahead and use it and see what happens.👍😂😂🚜
Good news is….. snow seems to be coming up really nice. 😂
Good luck getting your tractor out Mike
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et la neige et le tracteur 😂😮😅😊
Love the opening shot 😂🥶🥶
Every piece of land you get you're getting closer to me. Haha
Great video Mike
Mike, you are the man 😅, unbelivable 😂😂
Hey I'm watching from Philippines tropical weather here. Don't miss winter at all. I come from northern South Dakota not all that far from you.
You shook it more than twice Mike 😂👀
Pour 911, additive directly into filter, or filters. Tank also. Warm block with space heater. Should start, and run.
If it's above freezing, install JD fuel flow improver and you can run the summer fuel down to minus 15 and then you can also add winter fuel without draining the summer fuel
Great idea. The only issue being John Deere in the name of the fuel flow device as this immediately tells us it's going to be expensive. 😂🤣😂
@@leddielivewhat it really means is that John Deere is living rent Free in your head. On a per unit treated it's cheaper than a lot of the competition
The weather is great in Florida today 😅
Mike!!! If you get out of the stuck without help you dont need to put money in the "stuck pot"
You know Mike for some reason it was really painful to see that beautiful new red tractor sitting all alone out in the frozen tundra. He really needs to be taken home.😂😂
Mikes the only farmer still in fields trying to start the tractor lol
its going to be 80 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow in southern California where I live, Your weather scares me mike Mitchell.
U can tell its cold by the snow crunch
Mike Get You Some BF Goodrich TA's on that Chevy Good in snow & on the Road
I've run summer fuel as low as minus 25 Celsius and I live less then an hour northeast of your south farm.
good evening everybody!!
Somehow I’m not believing you drinking the energy drink 😂😂😂.
Should havr had winter diesel in in Oct...unless yiu had tons of summer fuel stored at the farm?
Yeah, was using summer from storage
Cold start cold start cold start
Suppliers switch to winter diesel in early october...somebody dropped the ball
That's what I was going to say
Too many irons in the fire
Lucky we don't have summer and winter diesel here in Sweden 🥳
Hey like Mike has a new hat.
Briljant video.Has Chapel already a brother or sister to admire and play with? Just asking🤣🤣
He does! I do need to make that video
Brutal cold 🥶 and brutal editing 😂
@@brushcrawler8612 right?! Come'on Mike! 😆
Mike , when driving in deep snow or mud, turn traction control OFF! If you dont, you will get stuck.
It already jelly
looks cold 😅
But according to Al Gore it's a beautiful day outside
Really, what gave the game away?🤔
@@carlfalt174 true
Your new neighbors must wonder why you’re always out in the field yelling at your phone😂
😆😆 Guarantee they question my sanity
Does the farm have a small generator that you can carry out to the tractor and plug in the block heater?
He showed using it in other videos, but doesn't help in this case with the wrong diesel
6:46 If you shake it more than twice,you are playing with it.
Closer you get to stoon you're going to want to lock the fuel tank
Yup. We never leave any equipment sitting in the field.
Never park in a low spot!!
Cool 😂😂😂😂
The implement was probably frozen to the ground anyway.......some old timers around here use gasoline in the diesel but the proper amount is up for debate. Leaving it set seemed like a wise move.
Is the pro till going to be frozen down to the ground?
Mike are you sure you wernt drinking that redbull? 😂
Mike Mike Mike Mike Just another reason why it's unfortunate that you live in Canada. Here in the states They haven't banned Cherry flavored Anti gel diesel treatment yet.
Might want to use isaprophanol rubbing alcohol in the fuel , it will eat the jelly in the fuel.
Oh you southwestern people
Does that count as a stuck 🤣🤣
It sounds like it's empty.🤔
Wait why did the video start twice? 😂
The first bit is the short updates he puts on Patreon for the day to day activities, then the RUclips video take starts, he’s forgotten to separate them or there was a bug in uploading.
Mike is too busy to edit his videos. He just throws some clips together and calls it good. That’s what I like about him.
Need minimum of 9 min for you tube to pay 😂😂😂
Hahah I knew that video was too long, makes sense now 😆🤷🏼♂️
Lol. Your making the best of winter. Great ending! We've all been there.
Where did Mike go?
Surely he hasn't been kidnapped by all the mice 🐀🐀🐀 that are running wild at the Davidson Farm?😂
Crazier things have happened 🤫
I didn’t know humans had started farming Antarctica
Morning
How does your phone not crap out at -20 lol, mine would die in half an hour haha
You probably have a iphone
@Northern_Farmer samsung 😅
Mikey you got to quit field work now my friend, it is winter silly boy LOL
Haha 😆
John D. Rockefeller would be so proud of you Mike.
👋🏼😎
Change the fuel
You didn't realize winter was here. Piss poor planning I guess
They were busy filling grain contracts. That’s way more important
Coop claims to-25 on summer
Where is this place?
Take the sticker off the bill of your cap
The amount of product you added literally made zero difference.
That was good for 240 gallons according to the product.
@@wyomingguy4743 usually u have to cut that in half when below freezing or when using biodiesel so always 😅
Haha
Can you do fearinhjte
-20C is -4F. The easiest way to figure it out is 0C is 32F, for every 10C you add/subract 18F.
Rough guide for Centigrade to Fahrenheit is to double the number & add 32. Try it out for yourself. 😀
@leddielive thanks
Yeah if you’re the new guy in a area after you already farm too much nobody is giving you a pull
Disappointed. Don't like to machinery out in the weather, or even a long way from base.
Spread too thin. Losing touch with reality
I disagree with "losing".... I never once had it! 😂
Ahhh……. What a LetDown Mike. We wanted a Cold Start.
🤔 wonder if these New Tractors would even Start @ -4 F. Us Americans Hate the Metric System.
Well Mike…. You Knew it was gonna be Cold out why didn’t you Treat your Fuel on the Last Fill up ? 😮
Let's leave a tractor in the middle of the field till winter...just not that smart
