Join us on our journey as we leave a life in corporate america to come back to Wyoming and help on the family ranch.
Our Wyoming Life features our Wyoming ranch and our ranch family. Giving you a look into the workings of ranching from raising cattle to raising and harvesting crops. Erin will join you weekly out of the garden, showing you how she helps provide for our family through growing produce and selling at local farmers markets, and Mike will take you along as he tends to the animals and land of ranch, from calving to fencing to planting and harvesting hay.
Thank you for everything you do for America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are an amazing public speaker and I am amazed at your ability to convey this all so well and free-flowing. WEll done.
After retiring from the military my wife and I have found ourselves slowly restoring a 2300 acre family ranch in central New Mexico where the terrain is harsh and the cholla is as unforgiving as nails on tires. My S630 has solid poly fill tires and they are unbelievable. Have had them on for approx 3.5 years and have yet to change a tire and they hardly show any wear and tear as well. I would also like to say Thank You as your videos have greatly assisted in my transition to ranching where I had 0.0% experience - hence my wife’s nickname for me - the accidental cowboy. Lol. Thank you an would love to stop in and meet you/see your amazing ranch at some point. Keep up the great work.
WOW! That's SOME KIND OF RESTORATION PROJECT! You don't believe in "easing into" things, do you?😳👏👏👏🧚♀️🤷♀️ best o' luck with your future plans!
The way you talk makes your videos interesting, it shows that you have a passion for the everyday life of a Rancher and Farmer. Keep up the good work.
Michelin owes you big time for this video. Very professionally done. If you're willing to "risk it" I would like to advise you that jacking up an operational skid steer is not always necessary, you can put blocks under the back and put the bucket down to pick up the whole machine. Put more blocks under the front for safety and you can take tracks or wheels off with a bit less time
Hi Mike! Thanks again for visiting us at Michelin Tweel and for sharing your experience with your viewers. One thing I noticed during your initial review of our SSL Tweel in this video is that you might have fitted our 12x16.5 Tweel on a machine that normally takes a 10x16.5....because you mentioned that the diameter of the Tweel was larger than the tires you removed. If that's the case you'll certainly degrade the comfortable and pliable ride that the SSL Tweels can offer your machine because the 12x16.5 is designed for about 700 lbs more load per Tweel than the 10x16.5. That's a 2800 lb total difference for all 4 units. Since Tweels don't have an air pressure than can be adjusted, your fitment in the video is like having your tires way over-inflated, thus causing an overly stiff ride. If that's the case and you'd like to try our 10x16.5 SSL Tweels on your machine, please contact us at Michelin Tweel and we'll get you set up. thanks again, Tony Marconi, Technical Director at Michelin Tweel
Tweeling show. Thank you for a peek into the future of tires.
You certainly have a good voice and vocabulary for narrative. I certainly hope you the greatest success operating your ranch.
Use a two foot 6x6 post and place it underneath at the back axle. Then tilt the bucket down. This will raise rear wheel(s) off the ground.
Thank you for ranching and the farm store. Wish we lived closer, I would work for you for free, I miss farming. Most people have no concept where food comes from. Just purchase your meat and produce from the grocery store, it didn't hurt animals. We have a large organic urban garden, grow tunnels, and orchard offering free produce with many comments being "No thank you, I will go to the store and buy fresh." Interestingly we have a major problem with theft and vandalism.
It will be interesting how the Tweels perform for you on the ranch. Wishing you a day of sunshine, easy calving, and no breakdowns. Marc and Paulette, Michigan
I sure hope they’re softer in the summertime when the rubber warms up a little bit.
They definitely have a cool factor.
I was thinking the same thing.
Glad you like the new tires. I'm from SC.
God bless you and your family
Safe travels♥️🇺🇸🌹
Ah....now I'm jealous! LOL....I just put a set of tracks on our skid steer...wholly cow they kick butt!! Video coming out saturday! Tweels are awesome!
Hey Mike, I live in Greenville SC, we have a small farm on the outskirts, really enjoy your channel
Hi Mike...you were up near my neck of the woods....Greenville is probably 2hours from Columbia where live. Greenville is such a beautiful town,too. Those are some nice tires....got that skid steer tricked out! Love your channel....God bless!
Hay Mike Brad from TN . Not made a comment on your video in a long time. But not stop watching you. Love urs post and keep up the hard work.
Thanks Brad!!!
No sir thank you for what you and ur family done helping American people learning where there food coming from and showing how to do that way you know how. Thank God for you and ur family for what you do .
Great review, I'm sure we will get updates as you continue to use them. You give a honest view of how your life goes on the ranch.
I didn,t get tired of this vid ...nice move wheelin and dealin with Michelin
I've had them for almost four years now on my zero turn mower. They're great.
Mike when you pulled the nail out with no flat . That did it for me. I'm hoping they make them for lawn mower's. I'd almost swear if there's nail in my yard I'll find it with a tire. Miichelin Please Tractor lawn mower tweel's.
I like an honest review. Some try to talk the product up I guess to "kiss butt" with the manufacturer. A good review always gives the pros and cons.
Thanks
Hi Mike, I'm so pleased these tires are working so well.
JO JO IN VT 💕☃ 😊
have a neighbor with a new John Deere zero turn with Twheel on all four tires. The front Twheels broke the first season, The rears are still fine.
Very interesting and informative, Mike! Will be looking forward to the results.
Mike, After watching when you took the tour and now that you are actually testing some is awesome. To your comment on the ply-ability during the cold would be awesome feedback to the R&D team for them to work on. Keep up the great work hear on the channel.
Tweeps for my Buick? Now, wouldn't that be something?!
Yup I know we just started carring those tweels and I got a info on Michelin future tires for cars n n equipment
Mike we foam fill our tires and no the myth that they are had to get off is a myth. We have taken them off loaders that work in the landfill. Cut the bead real quick peal off put on new tire and have foam filled. It's what landfills do to there loader tires works awesome. Just a thought
The tweels seem like a great find. 👍
One of the things I respect most about your product videos is your unvarnished evaluations. The good and the bad. This product looks like it could be a winner once they can ramp up production and the benefit of volume helps to get the cost in line. Thanks.
Them are So Badass, Great video as always Mike!!!
So we've gone back to wagon wheels after all this time, have we? 😁
Haha. Yes we have!
Exactly what I was thinking
We have heard such great things about tweels...no flats...that’s worth it!
Thats the truth! I agree!
I've heard a little bit about these and from what I've heard and seen they are pretty good! Considering the temperature issue, it looks like they would be better suited for farms in the south. But they obviously still work in the cold. We don't own a skid steer, but if we ever get one I would DEFINITELY consider these! Awesome video as always! Keep up the great work and have a great rest of the day - Everett
Those are so cool! I look forward to the updates on how they work. Thanks for another awesome video for us city folk in San Francisco 😁
Motivational af for some reason
Perhaps Michelin will market an extra cushy air-ride seat that's easy to install... Fun to watch, thanks!
Those are some great tires!
Really enjoy your posts. It's about as close to farming as I get nowadays. We'll stop in for some good Wyoming beef and pork This coming summer. BTW I really like those tires.
Ron in Minnesota
had Tweels on a couple pieces of equipment, we called them rough riders as winter time it gets down to -20 degrees at times
That was such an honest review- thanks mike
One of the best youtubers by far! Thanks for the content Mike!
Ditto me here!👏👏😘🤯🤝🍹💞
I heard there is such a demand in the landscaping business that the only way you can get them is to order them on a new zero-turn tractor
I have been running Tweels for 4 years on zero turn lawnmowers. They seem to get a little softer after you have run them for a while. I like em alot.
Good to know. On a skid steer they will shake the longevity right out of all the plastic and wiring these modern machines have
I think I’ll keep my old school tires, the teeth from rattling out of my skull and prevent degenerative disc disease.. Pretty cool they let you demo their tweels tho. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou for introducing us usvto the Tweel Tires and the demonstration
And.. another ditto!🤝🤯😘👏👏
Seen them before but really didn't have a clue to the engineering behind them. Good review, look forward to your future posts.
Hi again MIKE
Yay the tweels finally got there! So interesting comparing them but I must say you had a pretty rough ride in that pasture!! It will be interesting when the weather warms up to see if you can tell any big changes.
Expensive I bet but any new things always are. The price will come down in time...
Great vid Mike. Thx for sharing as always
and soon there will be new calves as the stars of the show!
👏👏wonder if any new calves that end up catching a ride will notice a difference?
👏👏💞😎😁
Do they make them with more of an AG tread? Traction would be better with a more aggressive tread. Mucking out a barn with a pretty smooth surface, no wonder they spin.
My take is! Most seats are worn out at 200 hrs, seats take a huge beating. A upgrade seat should be considered as replacement on a more timely manner, specially with these new tires.
Track skid steer in cleaning barn may give better control
So cool. Never seen these before!
I totally hope its a breakthrough product for you and your property.
Those ride so much harder than the regular tires because as you said the skid steer isn’t held up by the spokes at the bottom they are held but pulling the spokes at the top. Therefore the spokes holding all the weight will always be at high tension just like a tire with too much air in it. in theory they should help with driving over rocks and such since the bottom will be flexible
You should think about brawler wheels with Solid Pneumatic tires. Works great in the cold.
Hey Mike if it's such a rough ride, couldn't the skidloader companys design a air ride seat or solid rubber trax. You should get a set and try out on the gator while your at it. I use to spend my days in the life of a skidloader 8 10 hrs daily except Sunday maybe occasionally depending upon the weather. We always had a spare tire and rim and used that fix a flat for emergency.
I remember seeing these in a concept art years ago - but on cars :D
it'll be interesting to see different thread patterns, yours seems more of a on road application compared to the other ones you had before. Cheers
Ouch! Here in Southern Ontario, we've had a few too many surprises with tire dump fires going on, uncontrolled for days and even weeks..😯🤷♀️😥🤬
And with more and more focus on "disposal.." all I can think of is the coming headaches! I know, even replacing CAR tires comes with a "disposal fee." Unless you're willing to take your old tires with you when you leave after getting your new tires installed and balanced...and really, there's only so many ways anyone can reuse old tires.
They are awesome
Always enjoy your history presentations. I'm always entertained and i learn something I didn't know before. Thanks!!
no flat tire is a win win
80 tires would be nice!!!
I just did a quick count in my head, might have missed a few.
281 tires in use here..
Maybe they'll give me a set or two to try out,??? 😂🤣
If they want to, need a set for a 1845B Case and a set for a 236B Cat😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂🍹👏👏👏
A skid steer with a track does the same thing except gives you good traction and a comfortable ride not to mention no flats. .
I am glad michelin hooked you guys up but as a tire manufacturer clearly the engineering department hadn't read thier history to why all manufacturers went away from spokes and solid core tires.
Ride and handling were 2 big reasons.
Pneumatic tires are the answer for almost every tire problem,when speed is involved and in construction equipment tracks seem to do the trick.
I have tweels on m Zturn mower. I have no complaints the hold hills like no other. As far as the ride quality I would say their pretty close to the regular air tire.
Brilliant Mike good video. are the spokes made of plastic on the tweels
Cool.
The first tires were labor intensive as well. I am sure Michellen will get it streamlined. God bless
At the moment I have puncture proof tires on my wheelchair, have some of the same issues, that made me try them, if traditional tire punctures means there are places I can't get due to limited ability to walk. In addition to the tires also have plastic spokes on these wheels.
So problems include, harder ride, less grip, especially in colder weather, slide from the wheels when you want to stop, so very much like you have found, though stopping quickly on a skid steer not usually a problem, as with the tweels these are heavier than wheels made like bicycle wheels, with pneumatic tire and wire spokes.
In my case the main problem though is the solid wheels mean the engine has to work harder, to get the same thing done, also in my case I'm the engine so it tires you out (pun intended). There are some amazing developments though, including folding wheels, in wheel suspension, in wheel motors to help out. BUt again as with your problem, the thing is money, it costs to try them.
I really enjoy your videos , they are very informative . I someday want to make it out to Wyoming , I love wildlife and cattle ranches.
I've had worse advice:
"Try the yellow snow, it's delicious"
I get my small plant tires foam filled, but would consider these if the price was right.
Everybody here going with tracks!
Good video. With a voice like yours you should go into radio or play-by-play.
I love that intro
Those are sweet looking.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah that's no joke how heavy those tweels were. Remember having to move them by hand when setting up the Michelin booth at the RR
I am watching this while sitting in down town San Diego.
My brother has them on all 3 off is commercial lawnmowers. And loves them.
Tweels are interesting. You ran over a big big nail and no problem except to extract it. No flat tire! Wow.
From.the looks of things shouldn't have problem finding fertilizer / compost for garden lol . LOL
Tweels have been available for years, and their technology is old enough to walk. Unfortunately it’s cost and performance have not aged well or improved much.
Intrustink!
U need a set of tracks for ur skid steer bc u found out those new tires stink in the cold and u don't want to run them through mud or snow bc they get plugged up with stuff and in my opinion only place they good for is working in junk yard bc when it's cold u found out ride isn't very good and that's why I went to skid steer with tracks and took them off my other pieces of equipment and sent them back to where I got them from bc I don't need that extra head ache dealing with those tires but best of luck on using them on ur place
It'll be interesting to see how they hold up over the time you have them and how they react to the temperature changes. Part of me can't help but wonder if you're going to have the opposite problem come summertime. Time will tell I suppose. Thanks for the video Mike.
Your speaking style reminds me of Marty Stouffer and I like it.
Thank you very much
See if you can get a set of Michelin Bibsteel radial skid steer tires to try. They ride much better than regular tires and last much longer too.
On Sunday my cow 812 had a baby but it died :( I wish good luck for your cows
Sorry to hear that:(
It’s ok
True American 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great info mike! Thanks for sharing..
I’m interested to see how these do when conditions get muddy or cold
Hello to Our Wyoming Life,all that pretty land and healthy animals. Your Amazing Family. You all are a animal and farm Care Taker. Tractor work good for your farm, especially for your hay.
For sure, thank you very much
Hope you liked my hometown of Greenville.Plan to go back in July.
Aww Mike is it your first day with your new fingers
Hey Mike...the tires on my farm only go flat on the bottom side...keep exploring 😂👍
I'll be curious how the ride differs as the temps change. I can't remember when I spoke to the Michelin guys, but didn't they mention different spoke stiffness?
Can you hold the papers Mike,I seen how they fell . Tractor are good supplier for your farm. Going around like that I will be dizzy. I probably get stuck in the mud . I enjoyed your video of Our Wyoming Life , happy holidays. Thanks for sharing
I use the tires on my skid steer. However, I did have an issue with the hub separating from the rubber, and Michelin will not stand behind their product even though they know it is a flaw.
different tires for sure
As far as I’m aware tweels havn’t so much come about from tyre evolution and development, more from a need to fill a government contract for wheels for use on the previously cancelled now future moon missions and future mars missions. When the moon missions where shelved during the previous administration I understand Michelin where allowed to further develop and evolve them for other applications and sale. Again this is what I understand to be true and makes a reasonable amount of sense seen as tweels will work in various amounts of gravity where air filled tyres will not work.
That’s pretty cool mike!!!
I feel that if every livestock producer was as specific and professional and itemized as y'all with their budget, we would have a LOT fewer producers going out of business! Y'all have it down to a science.
