Glad to hear that those 3 semi's managed to avoid a more serious accident, i recently had a close call while driving a ten wheel truck with a 4k gal. Water tank when a car ran a stop sign, thankfully i was empty and not going to fast and was able to slow Down enough. luckily i had my brown undies on😂
@bungiemia thats what i was thinking They are gonna have to run low to get all the crop they can get at harvest and no need to tear up the new heads on that stuff when you can get some older used ones for a pennies to beat up.
I momentarily thought you paid extra for the “Mouse Package Option” but possibly on volume purchase the dealership threw in the mice for free to keep Mike a happy customer 😂🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🤣
Mike i have a question, ; Whats the story on Lee ? He works at Claas but almost in all last 10 video's Lee is in. Does he have alot off vacationdays at Claas?
@mikemitchell2554 that's awesome you got Lee back. I knew he wouldn't last in that kinda setting. Once you farm you never go back lol. I'd much rather be out in a field or working on equipment at the farm rather than working some office job any day hands down.
I just thought I was a Macdon man. Then I got a chance last year to run and repair and hate a 640. To me it was a deere version of a case 1020 as far as suck level goes. Macdon all the way.
Who red fords mike the one right behind your is nice well there all nice but that first one something about it stay safe all of you and keep up the good work and videos
@@lynwessel2471 Sorry my bad, yep you'r right, just checked last years video " Gearing up for harvest 2022! " 😉 Probably they will be replaced by the ones in this video.
When I look at fairly new equipment on dealer lots, there is ALWAYS glaring problems with EVERY item. Mikes headers---PTO shaft snapped off, auger covers missing, and more things they WILL find!!! How do people trade in things like that???? Don't salesman look at trade-ins? They ALWAYS look at mine and pick it apart, but when I do that to their lot trash the price never reflects it.
So is Lee not working in that office anymore? Wasn't he working for one of the big companies that sell equipment? Is he back working at the south farm now? Mike man you need to get back to making longer videos, these short videos kinda suck lol. I enjoy watching yall do what you do that and your such a character.
We demoed the 645s, didn’t like it because of the pea auger. Went 745s, much better of a header. You would think the engineers would have thought about the bunching on either side of the 645s. You guys must have started by now? We didn’t grow lentils or peas, we will start in maybe 2 wks. Have a safe harvest.
Poor quality dealership too, if they didn't clean them off before they sold them to you, or even after they sold them to you before you picked them up.
Canadian’s must drive better than Americans… no way in hell I’d stop on the side of a Highway down here. This video makes me irrationally nervous for Mike seeing him standing on the side of the road. 😅
No body does thats what the hammer lane is for the only time i have someone slow down is when they can't get over. Its not a law for anyone you only have to slowdown for first responders and tow trucks
Glad you are safe us these Saskatchewan highways needs to be change so that no vehicles cross the highway. How many ,ore people need to die before they fix it ?
Mike why does your younger brother have such a northern Canadian accent ?? were you almost have NO Canadian accent at all ?? More like an American accent? Lol ....
False. There is a reason and that's so the person behind him can watch the trailer and make sure everything is alright and if a tire blows out then the person behind the person with a blown tire csn tell the person in front of him. Also I don't think your supposed to pull headers at 65 mph. He said they was going 90 kph so that's like 55mph and that's pushing it for the small tires on the header trailers hence why he said they was in the slow lane that way people can still go around.
Nice red trucks :) Thanks Mike for video, best to You and Your family
Magnifique coupe blé et bien équipés . Good job guys.

This is prolly the most up to date we have been with Mike lol
Thanks! Don't get used to it 😆🙂
Safe travels to your farm with the headers mike
Safe travels as if you’re watching live.
Some after market outfit could make you extensions for the fighting on the augers nice winter project ti bring them up to par fir the canola.
wow this great video
Another fantastic video mike 👏
Believe those are our old headers,pretty neat! Hope they are good for you also!
Why’s the PTO sheared off?? 😂
wrong, they are ours
I think you will find they are my old headers.
@@TheMRSTEVEN afraid you're wrong there child
@@jamesmccabe1702 I think you are wrong. They are definitely my old heads.
Thank You
Looks like your the odd ball without a Ford! But, you are leading the Pac!!
0:17, there's an x9 harvester in the background, and it's on its transport wheels?
You and your dislike of mice is hilarious! Sounds like the dealer knew and were throwing in some free mice to take home. Lol
I'll bet that Deere dealer is happy to see you guys so he can clean out his old inventory of used heads. Did you trade in your other heads for these?
I'm betting they are using these to do the crappier crop to prevent damage to the new headers.
@bungiemia thats what i was thinking
They are gonna have to run low to get all the crop they can get at harvest and no need to tear up the new heads on that stuff when you can get some older used ones for a pennies to beat up.
Good job guys
Always have to have Tims for the road.
Great video Mike
It certainly would have been nice if someone had cleaned those headers, but on the flip side, at least they didn’t paint over the wear points.
😆 Exactly!
Hey I work at that exact dealership and I completely agree lol.
@maruiacancercScam ☝️
I momentarily thought you paid extra for the “Mouse Package Option” but possibly on volume purchase the dealership threw in the mice for free to keep Mike a happy customer 😂🐀🐁🐀🐁🐀🤣
Looks like some good farming to me
Mike,i have a question: Can Mr. Lee pull some strings and make his contrast of green combine come to your farm for test drive?
You should have taken a couple of Claas combines home from that dealership they have enough of them setting there
Mike scared of mice, LMAO that’s too funny
I live in California, always boat trailers on side of road with popped tires. And safety chains dragging the pavement...
Mike i have a question, ; Whats the story on Lee ? He works at Claas but almost in all last 10 video's Lee is in. Does he have alot off vacationdays at Claas?
Lee has moved on from there and is currently working the summer off with me 👍
@mikemitchell2554 that's awesome you got Lee back. I knew he wouldn't last in that kinda setting. Once you farm you never go back lol. I'd much rather be out in a field or working on equipment at the farm rather than working some office job any day hands down.
That #1highway is antiquated with its exits and median width.
It's a wonder there isn't more accidents.
You did well to find some good used headers rather than buying them new.
I'm crossing my fingers for a review of the HD50F head you ran last year! Would really like to know your thoughts and the pros/cons you gathered on it
Night express operator myself mate
Morning
What happened to the honey bee headers😊
Hey Mike if a big truck is called a semi how big is a whole truck ?
I just thought I was a Macdon man. Then I got a chance last year to run and repair and hate a 640. To me it was a deere version of a case 1020 as far as suck level goes. Macdon all the way.
I hope the mice haven't caused electrical damage.
We had mice get into the top tube once and chewed the wires.
Wasn't nice.
What happened to the honey bee heads
Magnifique coupe blé et bien équipés 😮😊
What happened to last years headers?
Who red fords mike the one right behind your is nice well there all nice but that first one something about it stay safe all of you and keep up the good work and videos
I really appreciate seeing some Ford action. Someone in Canada has good taste! It's all in jest, guys. Calm down. 😮
I definitely noticed that too! C’mon Mike! Why are you the odd man out?😉
A big failure of our Highway system is our lack of overpasses at intersections like the one you seen that accident. Please stay safe 🙏
I surely would have liked to have known why that driveshaft was broken. Something might be binding to cause it to break.
By the looks of it, it wasn't greased ever and just wore through itself.
Why would you not take the longer pea augers?
Many reasons... Stay tuned
But you just told us how you dont like the bunching up in corner...
What happened to your honey bee headers and why did you get rid of them
Probley because they were honey bunchers
didnt get rid of them but thats in another video
0:10 Mike is the opposite of DEF haha
Sooo, Mike !! Take them mice and harness them up to the 500 hp Fendt !! Gee ; I wonder how many mice it would take to pull that Fendt backwards ?!?!
Are those rental trucks or does the whole family drive a red ford other than Mike?
Looks like you need to get yourself a red Ford pickup Mike
Why did you guys move on from the Honeybee headers?!
Don't feed well in very short crops with that wide transition plate.
They went with the FENDT's, but they still have the John Deere HD50F - 50' headers on their X9's.
@@ytfan3815 They ran 4 Honeybees on John Deere combines last year.
@@lynwessel2471
Sorry my bad, yep you'r right, just checked last years video " Gearing up for harvest 2022! " 😉
Probably they will be replaced by the ones in this video.

Glad I'm not the only one who turns into a little girl when it comes to mice😂
So is Lee not working in that office anymore? Wasn't he working for one of the big companies that sell equipment? Is he back working at the south farm now? Mike man you need to get back to making longer videos, these short videos kinda suck lol. I enjoy watching yall do what you do that and your such a character.
Question is answered by Mike in the comments below, in one of the first.
@ytfan3815 thank you for that. I didn't know he already addressed that question.
You guys dont have dashcams??
I would like to have seen you get 50 foot hinged draper heads.
$200k apiece
Mike already owns two of those… one for each of his X9’s.
We demoed the 645s, didn’t like it because of the pea auger. Went 745s, much better of a header.
You would think the engineers would have thought about the bunching on either side of the 645s.
You guys must have started by now?
We didn’t grow lentils or peas, we will start in maybe 2 wks.
Have a safe harvest.
That's the biggest con with the 645s most definitely!
Idk about some of these truck drivers out on these roads. I see a lot of semis flying on my gravel road. Its like they think they weight 3,000 lbs.
Mike it's not very serious to have dirt on your cutter bar especially more green black paint it's rusty.😂
👋😊
Why not engage headers and leave mice in Regina?
What boots does the guy on the header at 11:40 with the black shirt have? They're pretty sexy
What happend to fendt ideal harvesters
They were sold 1 year ago
Why did you buy old heads you never told us
They don’t have to tell anybody
Let me bet, money's getting tight, had to sell the honey bee header and downgrade to these ?
John Deere is an upgrade to those old honeybees… these are built much heavier duty and work better in shorter crops.
After 3 bad years of crops you need to cut costs somewhere.
Were they ex hutterite ones
Did the other guys stop at a Ford dealership, too. They put you to shame Mike.
So, what happened to the super duper Honeybee headers. ?? They were the ultimate header a few years ago according to Mike.
He talked about they're issues before, they cut amazing but they are fragile
Maybe not so “super duper” after all.
They are fragile and these will most likely be so they don’t have to use new headers in terribly rough conditions
Didn’t talk about the 745 vs 645
I think based on all the trouble he had with the headers last year on the X9 went back to what works
@SuperEye2eye the 745 and 645 are almost identical the hd50s are very different
Pulling a trailer and seeing something like that sucks
Poor quality dealership too, if they didn't clean them off before they sold them to you, or even after they sold them to you before you picked them up.
The 2 following semis were clearly following the lead far too close
I am like 90% sure they would all be radar truck without a real driver just someone sitting there
@@motorman2013 agreed.
Here is my question Mike Mitchell. Did you give up on using Honey Bee Headers?
Canadian’s must drive better than Americans… no way in hell I’d stop on the side of a Highway down here. This video makes me irrationally nervous for Mike seeing him standing on the side of the road. 😅
You guys have 10 times more traffic
Its Saskatchewan... no where else to stop for miles on end. The shoulder is your only option there.
Wow those idiots didn't slow down at all for you guys on the road. Pretty sad...
No body does thats what the hammer lane is for the only time i have someone slow down is when they can't get over. Its not a law for anyone you only have to slowdown for first responders and tow trucks
I'll have to give you a C on this video. Don't you know you're supposed to video the whole train when it graces your video ?😂
Glad you are safe us these Saskatchewan highways needs to be change so that no vehicles cross the highway. How many ,ore people need to die before they fix it ?
i hope i am wrong but i think you bought someones sore head
Mike why does your younger brother have such a northern Canadian accent ??
were you almost have NO Canadian accent at all ??
More like an American accent?
Lol ....
There’s no reason for you guys to be traveling with multiple long loads tightly grouped on freeways. Space out for traffic safety. Common sense
There is probably a law against tailgating, especially on the interstate, But maybe doesn't apply to farm vehicles.
False. There is a reason and that's so the person behind him can watch the trailer and make sure everything is alright and if a tire blows out then the person behind the person with a blown tire csn tell the person in front of him. Also I don't think your supposed to pull headers at 65 mph. He said they was going 90 kph so that's like 55mph and that's pushing it for the small tires on the header trailers hence why he said they was in the slow lane that way people can still go around.
Nothing dangerous about it, as long as you keep a couple seconds distance between each other
Why not travel that way? It’s a double lane hiway on each side… People have a passing lane..
Can I write you a message on meil ?
