'Nobody wants to see skid marks!'. Truer words have never been spoken!!
Praying for hardly no break downs for you. Enjoy the harvest. Any harvest is a good harvest. Some are better than others but anything you get is a plus
I truly love how in depth you go on a given topic. Nobody else does the job like you do, Mike. I never knew that about the skid plates for example. Well done, keep up the great work, and best wishes for better harvests ahead.
My name is Kid,Kid Rock Bawidaba
If you're into detail, aTrippyFarmer is another detail guy. He always covers seed type input costs and amounts per acre, etc etc etc.
Mike I got behind and am catching up Imy dad passed away) and wanted to say how much I enjoyed this one. Real interesting for a non-farmer to learn some of the details of how the equipment works. You explained it very well.
One thing that i have learned having worked at John Deere and also Cat. When it comes to fasteners like bolts and rivets. They mark those puppies up by about 4-500% on price. a pop rivet is a pop rivet. You could have probably gotten those rivets at a grainger for like $75
I dont know mike, you tell me.
I have a feeling in usual Mike fashion, he will, and well :)
Mike Have you tried MAY WES for your poly skid plates and rivets
Excellent Mike,as always.👍Somebody should tell Deere to stop biting the hand that feeds them!!👎💩😭. 👍😂🇬🇧
Mike if you actually raised the wheels all the way up like your supposed to it changes the software logic for on ground cutting. The defaults are different in on ground vs off ground cutting. Then you wouldn't have the "problem" of it not being light enough on very light.
Thanks for explaining about the header height and adjustments. Hope you got a decent Lentil harvest on this field. Thanks for the videos, we all wait for new videos from you. Waiting for a Rigid video next. Have a good day. From your neighbor to the east.
That’s why they take those skids off and get the ones from winter tech I think it is they are meant for snow plows but are now making them for floating heads. They last forever, and cost less
Nice, great & informative CONTENT !!! THANKS TO ALL OF U!
Mike . I get the idea. Thanks.
God Bless you Brother Mike. Roll with it and get through this year it’s gotta be better coming up.😌❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸
Crops like this you should have a Crary wind System on your header
Hey Mike, you can get the same rivets at the bolt supply house for way cheaper and they work just as good.
I call it a seasonal re-learn Mike. 😂 seems you gotta do it every spring and fall and with every new or new to you piece of equipment.
Exactly! Glad I am not the only one 😆
Mike, I love your content. But I can't stop thinking what you did in the cab before taking to TH-cam? 😅🤷♂️😁
😂😂Really good question!
great video
Mike I think you missed your calling you should of been a teacher. 🤣👍🇨🇦
Good morning Mike
Hello Mike 👍🌾😉🇮🇹
That story is riveted in my mind. Remember, they charge what the market will bear. 😮
Great!
You should check with maywest for the poly skid plates and rivets they are awesome.
Dont get distracted... Squirrel! 🐿️! 5:51 😊
Howdy Mike!
My family farms 800 acres in the holland marsh area of ontario, what is an average acreage cost ? Cause good tiled land here is upwards of $45000 per acre
Maywest Poly, give them a look.
Ah the convenience tax got Mike.. Having that credit account at the dealership is the most expensive thing for farmers & the biggest profit margin for dealerships… Mike could have bought two years worth of rivets had he planned that purchase over the winter & if he had a conversation with his dealership at that time they would have price matched his researched price, that works for nearly all parts from dealerships when those parts can be sold by third parties..
Mike u need a macdon fd250!!!!!
Mike. What do you think of the new Case IH 715 quadtrack?
We burt them off last year before we got done had to replace them with a few hundred acres left.
Any chance you guys get one of the new 715 steigers for seeding?
Probably don’t miss the fendt s very much 😎
Hope the winds don't get to strong. DON'T WANT THE DUSTBOWL TA RETURN 😢
Mike do you think Air Reel's would help with loss and crop feeding in these short tough-to-cut conditions?
La moissonneuse batteuse x9 1000 et la coupe et bien intéressante 😮😊😂
Are these rivets different in some significant way? That's crazy.
They´ve got a running deer in colored print on their pack and they probably have tighter tolerances on shearing force.
I eat lots of Red Lentil pastas to help you out.
Could you run a 645 or 745 header on you X9?
Morning
So out of curiosity after running the s series and the x9 how do they stack up against the fendt ideals that you had as far as features and break downs?
Less breakdowns when comparing new to new forsure! Not even a comparison.. .
We have had some breakdowns with our older S690s headers though but that is to be expected with 1500sep hours.
Mike I think it’s time to start calling Ron.
I think I'd buy those rivets from McMaster-Carr or whatever the Canadian equivalent is.
The cost of rivets just blew my mind! $50.00 would be plenty!!
How much do you need per acre to get your seed back?
1.5 to 2 bushel per acre
Get the seeds back for 1:44 next year?
The rivets were made of what titanium
Mike, buy yourself a set of calipers and measure the rivet and buy them from someone like McMaster Carr on line for a few cents each.
Wow! JD is proud of those rivets. As others suggested, you can likely get them cheaper elsewhere.
I had no idea of the complexity of modern day headers. That said, I haven't operated a combine or worked in a harvest operation in over 35 years.
I thought draper heads used a belt and not an auger?
They can have both, for many of them.
You sure do have nice big fields up there if you could only irrigate them you boys would make some serious grain
Deere products are expensive but their quality and innovation sure make the day less stressful.
What did they ever innovate?
@@interman7715John Deere,the man not the company,invented the first self scouring steel plow in 1837. Since then they’ve registered over 5800 patents. And if you notice,every new iteration across their entire product line contains features and functions that the previous model didn’t have. In other words,innovation.
@@verlinswarey507 features and functions that are bull💩
@@verlinswarey507 My friend, a patent is not necessarily an innovation, an innovation is something revolutionary ie a game changer .JD is infamous for copying other companies tech ie the Axial flow combine which was perfected and marketed first by IHC ,JD bagged out the rotary concept and swore they were no good but of course they copied it to the letter after the patent ran out .JD copied the Quadtrac off Case ih and the Catterpiller rubber track tractor for their RX series.JD copied the twin rotor New Holland for their X9 combine. JD had old twin cylinder putt putt tractors till 1959 whilst most manufacturers had multi cylinder engine tractors since the early 20s .Old man Deere probably invented a plow (but most probably stole the idea) but the ground breaking tech stopped there! I actually studied a book of JD inventions in the last 150 years and it was pretty sad . If you want to get educated study a book called ' International Harvester farm equipment development history ' and you will be awakened from your green and yellow dream .Also study Massey Ferguson, Oliver and Ford history and you will see who the REAL INNOVATORS were . As all the other companies put their arses on the line to develop revolutionary farm equipment good ole JD just sat on the fence saving their money and waiting to see what was worth copying when the patents ran out. Sorry to rain on your parade mate but JD is a hack company and always has been .Btw if you think I'm some smart arse keyboard warrior with a set on JD think again as I am a fourth generation farmer and I have had much experience with multiple brands .
Rivets how about allen key countersunk head bolt and nylock nut way cheaper 😢 john deere vapermatic one's probably cheaper lol😊
Great revenue per acre!!!
Y’all gonna use it to pay land costs? Or inputs? Or insurance? Or labor?….
10x last year! Things are finally looking up around here 😆
What kinda crop is that?
Let's call your team one and others team A
Gopher…..Ramming Speed
I still dont understand how the weight settings can really change anything on the wings when that cutterbar is completely relaxed, not supported like hydraflex. I dont think deere understands either.
Mike, I did the math on those rivets. It appears they’re $2.50 each. You got the gold plated rivets by mistake. DOH!🤬
Holy moly I'd be buying a 3D printer large enough to make those poly skid plates instead of buying them. lol
I'm surprised you don't have a gopher hole detector on your combine
But he does! It’s his eyes
Every combine has one. It’s usually in the drivers seat and applying full concentration (sometimes it goes rogue and stops concentrating whilst filming TH-cam videos 😂)
HAHAHA John Deere rivets :D $15 of rivets in $485 of packaging :P Those boxes are more expensive than printer ink :O $2.50 per rivet is absolutely disgusting....even for those green crooks :(
👋😊
What’s better, Mac Don or Deere?
Buy a pneumatic rivet gun and go to the hardware/farm store and buy steel rivets for peanuts. Much easier and cheaper to install than the JD rivets.
The rivets are titanium… I highly doubt you would find them at the local store.
Yes, the price is ridiculous but Mike didn't do a good job of explaining these aren't rivets one will find at hardware store.
@@crandonborth cheap Chinese 💩not titanium
Good old macdon steel skid plates would almost last the life of the header. Also why are you paying so much for the rivets? I would tell the sales person to kick rocks at that price.
Rivets are cheaper through grainger
Imagine combining 50 acres to get a hopper full😂
That’s honestly more sad then funny.
@@crandonborth your right it's so sad you have to laugh like he does.
Just wondering what that’s worth, The only price I can see for lentils is $35 per ctw, 400 bu hopper which is 240 cwt, so $8400 per hopper,
$500.00 for a few rivets!!!! If it's green it's mean.
$500 for some rivets? John Deere really going for that military contract pricing. Lol.
And I know people will like to try and claim “quality” but I know exactly how much the industry loves to gouge the OEM parts market across the board. I’m sure they factory price for those is barely above $40.
The costs of these parts are probably complicated by oil prices and the stupid carbon tax. Are these skid pads, not just thick plastic pads? Probably HDPE which is basically the same plastic in a shell oil pail.
Open-ended ratcheting wrench
If you buy Nuts Bolts and Rivets at the Stealership, you have too much Money...
Is there more money in making farming videos or farming itself ?
How you can be using a $1M combine setup to harvest 10bu/acre lentils with today's input costs and interest rates is beyond me.
It makes me so mad, you pay the best part of a million dollars to buy the combined then the make at 500% profit on parts you need to keep it running. I know we all have to make money but $500 for a few rivets, manufacturer’s are taken the piss mate.
Deere don't make any rivets!
Look for generic rivets! Aircraft is the best source for odd shaped
HeightH
It doesn’t work
So much bad information, you haven’t actually activated flex mode
Mike, it sounds like you've been ripped off. 500$ for 200 rivets is just a scam. That's 2.50 a piece.
P.S. I'm also bitter about the header needing a week of manual labour to swap it from flex to rigid, and I don't even own any non-digital farming equipment.
Im known as the big tipper with the big dipper i got queen's holding keys to my zipper you can't fuck with rhymes like these
