- ** Mike has finally been able to get seeding at the north farm and its still quite damp to say the least 😆.
Let's see this 2 track pulls in some muddy conditions 🤔

Boy that thing can pull
I wish you all the best Mike! God bless and help you!
Nice to see seed going in, despite the mud.
Definitely need some tile work. Great job getting every acre possible. Praying that you have a great harvest.
Good luck seeding your north farm Mike
Great video Mike
awesome performance from the 2 track :O
In their 30 year existence AGCO's best purchase has been the Fendt line. Second is Precision Planting.
Must be like 30 gallons an hour 💥🎶👍😍
Hopefully you were able to take a "Day Off" yesterday and enjoy your first "Father's Day" with Chapel & Ashtyn !
I took the afternoon off yes 🙂
@@mikemitchell2554 Did you have a bonfire in hopes of drying things out 😂🔥🔥🔥🤣
Hope you had a great Fathers Day Mike!
Great video!
should be fun to spray and harvest ..... a fun puzzle.
Feed her the onions lol and happy belated Father’s Day hope you had a great one
A drifting drill! Cool!
Seems like it does do very well in really soggy conditions
So far we haven’t heard a bad word about the 1167. It seems this tractor does the job! 😊
You must have missed were it left him sit on the middle of the field because of faulty def sensor.
@@jasonklabunde6415 that was just one issue, all tractors get issues from time to time.
@@jasonklabunde6415 This was just a typical zero hour defect! Overall experience seems to be O.K.
@@jasonklabunde6415 e v e r y s i n g l e Coloured tractor Will fall. No matter what colour it is. They all Will fall. But yeah, 1167 IS getting The Job done.
How many sensors on a tractor like that? A hundred?
What a nightmare. This is where all of your experience comes into play. Good luck with the rest of your seeding.
With the long daylight hours , the crop will be great
Puts triples on Ernie and pull an old ground drive drill -might get you into those wet spots. For the really bad sloughs, I’d go with a pontoon boat with a ATV fert spreader bolted on the back. Chapel and Ashtyn could come along and cookout on the pontoon. 😅
Bellissimo video Bei mezzi Bravo.👍👍👋👋💪💪🚜🇮🇹
All other TH-cam farmers: ‘We can’t plant in the mud’ ‘The fields are too wet’
Mike be like.. hold my beer
Hahah 😆🤷♂️
Those drills are awesome. If you tried to take a corn planter through those conditions, you would plant for about 100 feet and spend the next 2 hours cleaning the planter out.
I think the 2 Trac make this very good ore it´s the driver who drive xD ;) Much people wished this rain, but so much is unbelievable
Like your video grew up Hazlet Sask Live in Grayson Sk lots of wet land up here always
Wow! I thought i saw some dust for a minute.
Sounds like a jet
We send our 620 casse quads through all those little water holes we never have any issues if there is standing water. If there is no water that’s where we get into trouble
Mike we farm not far away from you at your north farm you drive past our place lots on your way up.
Merry First Time Father’s Day Brother I love you so much and welcome to the Dad Club! ❤️😏🖖🏼
Thankyou! 🙂
Single track is kicking butt
Looks like good pasture land..... I've got some cows for u!!
With a field like this, I would consider clearing some bush as well as looking for any opportunity to improve drainage wherever possible...
I really don't know how anything grows in those conditions Mike, it certainly is a challenge.
The song “Give me 40 acres and I’ll turn this rig around” isn’t enough anymore. 😂
It was a smart man who sold that wet ground during a drought 😉
A smaller drill sure would be handy for that land!
Maybe you should have brought up the 68 foot drill not as much weight…very impressed that you can seed when it that wet and not plug everything up.
We have the same problem in South Africa where we must try to get the corn of off the fields
Great video. It’s a lil moist
Love the Fendt
Some harrowing would really help that dry what we have to do in northern ab
Wow, looks like you could seed some rice out there.
Except for the growing season. Lol
Can you give us an update about the airfilter ? Is it still on 0%? xD
You know I thought about asking about that couple days ago lol
I know you gotta sow when you gotta sow, but man that the most anxious I think I've been in a while watching you trail that kit through wet fields 😰
All that mud and I see dust flying go figure lol
I like the look of 2 tracks and I thought they might go alright around here. But after watching this im glad we've got dual 800s on the 9r instead of a 2 track
It will be fun to wash thag planter 😂😂
I can smell that video!
Mike the rice farmer!
“Enee Menee Minee Mo situation. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🚜
If you have 3 shots of lemon juice take care of the hiccups every time! Wow it’s super muddy!
That’s some harsh planting conditions
I'd be willing to bet the price of smaller 40ft. Used Air drills have gone up suddenly this spring.
Hello Mike
I see dust! LOL
Bonjour a toi est un Bonjour de la France est te vidéo sont super continue Bruno
I recommend not using a heavy harrow on low spots, just turns it to mush and can not air out. My recommendation is a salford 2100, hit the wet spots with it and a couple days later with good sun and wind and you will seed right up to where you worked
Fendt just floats on that mud
Mike loves the fendt.
Does Mike see the potential in water?
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏
Thank you for sharing
How much shorter is the growing season at north farm compared to south farm?
Hey Mike!, Saw two of you helpers today at the Canada farm show , was hoping to see you ,but I guess not.
I ll be showing up tomorrow 👌
He ain't saying to much bout that power house he,s driving
unbelievable conditions to work with any kind of equipment.
Let us know if that seeding makes it up
I get the idea that the 2-track is hindered by the grouser design, it doesn't look as aggressive as R1 the tire lugs. ( Let alone R1w or R2. )
All a trade off I suppose, just like 45 degree [tire] lugs are better in wet climates as they self clear better, and 30-35 degree are better for dry land.
A hell, just get some full grouser-height steel tracks, would pull anything as long as you never road it. (And the hinges can wear faster than rubber.)
Sometimes you just have to "mud" it in. lol
Mike, it's kinda like your driving roofing nails with a sledgehammer. Might be time to invest in a smaller planter for next season on the north farm?
At least with 84ft there are not too many wheel tracks and you don't have to get too close beside the wet spots.
Is that field a maze 😅😅
So what's your conclusion about the Fendt in the mud ? Seems like it did pretty well ?
Happy belated Father's Day and could you tile that field and would it do any good
Just say it Mike. You would sooner dig mud outta the 2 track than the triples. Also as far as water and moisture, it's better to have and not need than to need and not have.
I don't know the normal weather there, and its leased yes?, but would it be economical to put in parallel straight line ditches say every 400 feet(some multiple of implement width) for next year? Not a full tile job(not sure how that would stand freezing anyway) but it would still speed bulk runoff by a large margin to allow planting with fairly short dry spells.
You just want to make sure no one cleans the bathroom but you! 😂😂😂
Can’t believe you can expect a crop in planting conditions like that
I think I would subdivide that field and sell it as waterfront property, maybe go find something a little less swampy.
nice
Wouldn’t Prevent Plant be a good option followed by a hay crop?
Far out mate
Morning
Mike does that drill have enough air flow to keep all runs open after driving through the mud?
Ok hadn't finished watching the video yet😆
Looks like you might need to rent or purchase a smaller drill to go back for those wet spots. Fun times planting in the mud
They have one back at the main farm as Ashton use to plant with it... it's a 60ish ft wide. Probably just a hassle to get his up there let alone bringing up a second...
@@syndicateleader6396 Yeah he said that in the video they had a smaller one, but could rent or purchase one close to the northern location. 60ft would be to large..30ft could hit those spots fast when they dry up a bit
Hey mike, do you apply more fert on the north farm, compared to the same crop on the south farm - including whats left in the soil from last year
Yes, greater chances of net return
Kid inside me was dissapointed every time Mike went aroud the mud... 😭
God Bless you Brother Mike I know you did this knowing that it’s less than ideal but you have to do what you must. ❤️😌🇺🇸🖖🏼
Mike, hear me out a 30 foot drill and the big tank. You'll seed through everything.
Lol that was my comment exactly maybe not as small as 30 but less then that big clunky thing.
I'm originally from Consul which is not far from where your south farm is. Doesn't it drive you nuts to try to seed in that bluff and pothole country with that big equipment? Great videos BTW.
Good way to get rid of hiccups is to sit down, bend your neck and head downwards as much as you can, as if you're looking back at your stomach and drink some water from a cup not a bottle over your top lip that's now the bottom lip, hope that makes sense but it works!
I used to get hiccups a lot. A friend insisted I try her remedy. It's weird, admittedly, but I can stop every hiccup event as soon as it starts. In fact, I almoat never get them now. Soooo, assuming you're not diabetic, eat 1 tablespoon of white, granulated sugar, followed immediately by a glass of water, drunk straight down. Weird, somewhat disgusting, but effective.
mike I roll 18000 acres a year with a 2 track and a 80 ft degelman wouldn't want to do it when crop is up
Does Ashton watch these videos and offer any critiques of what you are doing on "her" farm?
What are you planting? How late can can you still plant?
Maybe in a few years it will be possible to grow with airplanes or drones. That makes it easier for Chapel😆
Fairly common to seed rice from the air.
Mike, if 2-tracks are so poor at pulling in the wet, what advantage is there in having them? Crawlers pull very well, so why don't 2-tracks? Great video and very different land to south farm. Really enjoy these videos as it keeps me up to date with farming around the world.
They are excellent straight line pullers.
Grouser design maybe. And in theory there should be less pressure which would help subsoil compaction, but his frost line is like 6ft deep so that shouldn't be much issue.
I would love to see you drivr are 25ft air seeder
You should maybe check the main frame for cracks or damage from all the winging into the wet spots ....just talking from experience....
Mike is the 1167 noisy inside or is it just the way the mic picks it up. Cheers from down under
Maybe time for some drain tiles to help drain those low spots
Is the hydraulic steering part of the steering system or a separate actuator lever in the cab?
Its automatic on the Fendt, manual on their JD 2 track .
Can you wing up the drill and seed with just the middle sections to get into smaller areas or does the drill say no to that?
Yes, I have done that.. But it needs not to be wet or soft as it will push the back little tires through the mud and create drag on the wings. It hard dry conditions absolutely.
Makes sense thanks for the Quick answer
Mike I have a question. Could you bring in top soil and fill in the low spots so you don't have mini lakes everywhere?
Not even close to economical. The closest to that that could even be considered would be to grade what is already there, but even that would not make much sense on leased land. Grading is common where flood irrigation is used, especially for high value cropland, also before planting orchards for harvesting reasons.
