That is mesmerizing watching the wheat heads kick up.
Send Terry and Brian a photo of the monitor showing that yield 😂😂😂
I don't grow wheat but I baled a lotta straw this year, not a great crop in Ontario this year and man I can't help but think it would be a lotta fun to bale behind that crop 😂
Mike,glad to see you have a good crop, you guys suffered a lot the last few years and never complained a lot, not like some you tube farmers, they get one bad crop and cry like babies, after spending millions of dollars in maschinery and buildings , the Welkers still don’t have a nice crop after 3 years of nothing.
The can’t buy millions of dollars in Maschinery and building upgrades, did they cry, no
They are still suffering down south...I haven't really seen them have a bad crop up north yet
Aren’t the USA farmers government subsidised?
Watching MIke Combine while I'm sitting in the Grain cart tractor taking Soybeans off chasing after two combines... I need better hobbies. 😂
How’s the shop coming at the south farm?
For what you pay for a JD X9 it should come with a small Keurig😂😂
Is Ashtyn still your lunchbox-lady??😂🧑🍳🥪🥪
U need a coffee maker in your fancy work trailer
Mike, do you ever wonder if all the work you do is really worth it?
Do you sometimes wonder why you do so many hours?
I’m a U.K. farmer and I’ve got to the age where I’m asking exactly those questions.
Is it really all worth it?
I love what I do, but I’m sick of not being appreciated enough for it, taking such high financial risks, being taken for granted and not earning enough for what I do and all the hours I work away from my family.
What we do as farmers, allows everybody to do what they want to do, without having to worry about growing their own food.
It seems to be a matter of choice - it's not that he can't afford to hire more people instead of working 15 hours - chosen path is to get more profits at cost of own and coworkers personal and family time
People need to go hungry then see them change
Calm down drama queen, it’s 2 weeks in the spring and 2 weeks in the fall of ridiculous hours and a pretty normal rest of the year
Every job has a busy season where they only stop working to shit and sleep, just ask a cpa during tax season or a gas plumber when it starts to get cold
@@dantethunderstone2118 💩 for brans
@dantethunderstone2118 hahaaa not even close to the same. And they've been going for 6 weeks or more straight. We've been going for 4 weeks straight.
Hey Mike I farm out by leader SK, that must be somewhat close to your south farm. Thank you for being the voice of farmers from sw sask, it can be discouraging out here!
South farm is by Bracken. South of swift.
Hang in there Brother Mike you got this! God hold you , your Team, and Family close ❤️🙂🖖🏼🇺🇸
Our neighbours are getting 120 bushels an acre on there wheat
Still running dads tractor on the grain cart?
Love the videos! Just odd, corn and soybean harvest are getting started here in Iowa. USA. Vary cool that no two farmer, do the same thing. Even when they’re neighbors!?! 😂
Mike, I would like to suggest that the only bushel that matters, is the one you are paid for. That, divided by the total "gross tillable" acres is your yield. There are a lot of "other" formulas, but as a retired ag lender for almost 40 years, these are the numbers we felt that made payments on loans. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated.
Mike thanks for the videos always looking forward to seeing them be safe my friend
thats pretty slow.. i thought x9s did 30 acres an hour in wheat lmao.. looks more like 13
Coffee ☕️ intake in gallons during harvest mike??🤔🤣
And header knives that he has changed across all those acres
I enjoy your vids Mike, thanks!
I may have to come out some fall and work for ya Mike, 30 years experience as a combine operator. Currently running 9250 case and 9.9 Revelation New Holland. Great video as always
When the monitor is accurate, you can trust it Mike.. 😊
your north farm seems to have much better soil. A little on the wetter side... but crazy good yield potential it seems
Better ground, more rain, just better overall up north. Thats why we farm up here and my relatives also moved up here to farm
After a year of preparing and growing the crop your viewers need a little therapy - like spending days watching a very nice crop going into the hopper. We need all the help we can get.
Thanks, Mike.
OOH MAN. I was wondering Mike. Why don't you drive across the wind if the dust goes ahead of you.😮 be safe and stay awake gays😊
Lot of extra hopper capacity
Besides videos of combine action it would be nice to some of the other action going on. Filling the grain bins and trucking to the wheat pools. Great looking crop.
Videos have gotten lazy.
@chipmunk94 are you working 15 hour days?
Mike is the only guy running the camera, so you get to see what he is doing.
@@notpoliticallycorrect4774 I know and enjoy his videos. One of my favorites but you can only watch a combine harvesting crops for so long. Like watching paint dry. His commentary is good.
@@berniepfitzner487 Then he should have plenty of other things going on.
Very nice wheat crop
What variety of Durum do you plant?
What r we buying for next year ???
Sample looks good
Just come up from Calgary through Red Deer to Lloydminster and there is a lot of canola still to go through a combine.
Great videos always
Where are the case 580 squads I thought you would use them on the grain cart 😊
Mike i have question; do u mix north and South durum? For better grade?
No you can't do that... They are two separate identities... But you can take samples of both and take them to your grain buyers and try sell it as a package deal, then haul to each respected terminals.
In South Australia we’re sitting on 5 inch’s for the year 3 for the growing season
Dunno how you stay awake watching the wheat go into the feederhouse. It's hypnotizing. Puts me right to sleep.
looks like a crop... wish you would ever harvest a crop >140 bu/ac
Honestly is odd seeing numbers that low... but i am currently doing corn at 215 Avg so my brain is skewed. 😂
@@crandonborth not talking about corn... grains like wheat or barley. Stuff he grows. But its unrealistic in his areas.
Just would be nice to see those combine s chewing hard for once.
We live in Indiana down in the US straw get tuff, the wheat gets tuff and you can't knock it out ahead as well.Use that to shut down at dark
Hope you don't get the new root disease in the spring wheat.. had it in Eastern North Dakota it took about 10 to 15 bushel. No remedy yet
Heavyweight
Being Ukrainian. When it rains. We find shit work to do around the ranch
Where has lee gone?
I believe he took another job closer to Swift Current again. Dont think he was at Mitchell's last spring.
Lee is working for Claas now if I‘m not mistaken :)
I spies a dent in that unload auger..
Where is the good old cb went Mike?🤔😉
👋😊
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et la moissonneuse batteuse et le tracteur et le transbordeur et bien équipés 😂😮😅😊
Have you ever grown Camolina?
mike what variety winter wheat are you seeding
Spring wheat and Durum up here, no winter wheat in the area.
Would you try the case af 11 Mike
Seems like a lot of straw going thru the combine. How tall is this wheat?
Looks like over waist height, like ours is.
So nice
hey mike you may not read this but it would be greatly appreciated if i could get your comback on what im about to ask, we have 3 of them on our place in arkansas and theres maybe only 5-6 throughout the whole state of arkansas, we’ve been pulling our hair out over the amount of dust that comes out of the throat when you are cutting with the machine, and also the amount of chaff and trash that comes out of the throat and ends up on the feeder house. When you are in the cab you can see all the way down to the front drum and chain and all the mechanics and people here say that’s perfectly normal. We blow and clean our machines every morning and by quiting time the feeder house will have so much chaff and dust on it that when you raise the feeder house it will touch the bottom of the cab. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
buy something better.. lol
Larson farms put these brush blocker things in to help with dust, and if yiu have an air reel on you can add a tube to clean the feeder house off. You could also put a crop catcher screen on like we do.
You should always take off on Sunday

Morning

Hi Mike. It seems like you set your combine tighter then a class 7 machine, open that thing up and make it work, it's an x9 it's got a ton of capacity with extremely low losses if it's set Right. You're hardly getting an s780's capacity with those settings
That's true, it's because I don't like losses and I want a clean sample.. I have the bushel + pans and I want to be under 1/4 of a percentage loss. So for example, in an 80bu crop I don't want to exceed 0.2bu loss. Unless it's the middle of October and there's no coming, than 2bu loss is probably acceptable 🤣
I have noticed that the Mitchell's, even with the acres they cover, never push their equipment hard. I give them respect for that. When I ran farm equipment, I learnt to back off a bit, and at the end of the day, I had just as much work done, and equipment that wasn't beat up and would be good to go the next day.
@@mikemitchell2554the only thing you will lose in an x9 when pushing to full capacity when set Right is maybe your sample will dirty up a bit which is ok in my opinion because dockage won't break the bank but having to add another combine will, even if u accept more losses it's still not an extra combine payment because you can't get your acres cut without adding another one. just my opinion on combines.
I know you’ve probably mentioned it before. But what’s the difference between the x9 1100 and the x9 1000s that you run ?
About a 100k apparently
Mainly horsepower and a smaller grain tank on the 1000's.
Slower unload on the 1000 as well but that can be upgraded with a bigger pulley for around $1000
1100 has more power, larger grain tank and faster unloading. And 100k more to buy😂
It also has a upgrades to the computer system
I have a request - such a beautiful harvest, I would love to see a longer ride, even without commentary.
OMG,Mike goes out of his way to bring us into his everyday life of farming and yet you're still asking for more. Enjoy the videos he gives us like the rest of us because he doesn't even have to do that.
@@CS-sm1fpif he doesn’t do it there are a lot of other farming channels out there 😂
