I combined a few pumpkins once. The landlord had carved some pumpkins and threw the insides in the manure spreader. Next year they were growing in my soybean field. This was before Roundup Ready and they survived. I saw pumpkins coming in the header and for a second wondered if maybe I needed a little more sleep.
Lol.. Weird dreams you were having while combiming 😂
Good story
Mike should do some Broadcast crops to fight Hunger,acrage of so to speak Vegtables You know Rotation migration needs to work put them to work
@@alensnowplowing4160 Vegetables don't grow in semi desert climate and their is no good water source for irrigation there.
@@lynwessel2471 big mechines waste of time and money not helping hunger I Got You..weatherGenerator put water in the dessert maybe 2006 just exploring Options👍👍✌✌
I'd spend $2 an acre over $60 any day. That's like us we double crop soybeans after wheat in late June to mid July . The double crop beans only yield 15 to 35 bushels an acre compared to 40 to 90 bushels they could do an acre if we plant them in April or May. but every bushel over 8 is profit . Great work !
Mike, I love how you ask the question and answer the question, Mike interviewing Mike love it.
The crop list is standard on all gen 4 displays so it’s nice to have those things in there when you planter, spray, cultivate, or pull your Amanda’s pnut combine to harvest.
Don’t ruin our fun lol. I was about to order a set of concaves for Brussels sprouts.
@Josh Bailey Hi how are you? Hope we can be friends..
@@csmithy3057 hey buddy, nobody on TH-cam wants to be friends, mainly because people like you end up being scammers (which you probably are) by the way, Cindy smith is the most basic name ever, you are pointing out that you’re a scammer
Right you combine peanuts that’s normal
Our reds are going to end up around 4 bushel. Tough year again. North of Glasgow
Impressive how detailed you explain things it helps people understand how tough farming can be if you don’t know
@Josh Pierce Use my username to send me an email at gmail
Nice liked the cost explanation and the mechanical explanation, very nice, it shows you arn't afraid to learn about your machine and its settings. information is power/key
Thanks for taking time to explain that especially when you need to go north asap.
Thanks for your footage Mike. Love watching you guys all the way from England 🏴
I agree with your thinking about still combining poor crops. I’ve cut full quarter sections that amount to 20 bales. Still better then nothing. Gotta do it
Morning Brother Mike. God Bless you with a good day!❤️🇺🇸🖖🏼
As always lots of great info and entertainment! Thanks Mike!
Hey Mike give that million dollar Warren Buffett machine a break popcorn is actually harvested with a combine🤣...I just love how brutally honest and un-brand loyal you are keep the videos coming and safe harvest!!
😂😂😂 Mike that is the funniest thing I've heard about. Thank you for the laugh
Mike if you go to your header auto setting there should be an option that let's you put your auto fore-aft tilt off, sp if that's off then you can loft you'd header up with the dial and not have your combine tilt forward it definitely saves your skid plates I did that this harvest with my combine seemed to work better if you manually ran the fore-aft rather that let the combine adjust it and pick rocks in flex mode.
Hey Mike
The cutter bar won’t flex “UP” where you’re worried about clipping the fingers off your reel.
Unlike hydro flex, the cutter bar on a HD50F will only DROOP it will not flex upwards, the header flexes upwards with the wings and allows the cutter bar to droop down to maintain ground contact. This will prevent any conflict between cutter bar and reel fingers. It also maintains the relationship between cutter bar and reel
He is also seeing his skid shoe marks so easily because he has the header pitched back too far. It needs to be tilted forward more, even though he is concerned with rocks. That's why the center is flagging because its not tipped far enough forward.
Agreed. In crappy lentils need max tilt
On the header. Not flat but tilted way forward. The sickle guards become the crop lifters. But who knows with that header if that’s possible. Seems like the float is set far too heavy for lentils
@@SuperEye2eye Naw its possible assuming the fore/aft on the feederhouse is calibrated. You should be running that header in flex with 11 degrees measured on the top of the guard.
Mike,"combined" Basil is the best basil. LOL Hope you, Ashtyn, and Chapel had a great summer. I'm sorry your red lentil crop was so weak. Better luck next year my friend. God Bless
Hey Mike as far as taking your shoes of … they make tractor mats just like weather tech. Awesomeness 👌😜
i love your rant on the preset of crop types in your X9 combine LOL
what the heck is -Montbretia
-Mung Beans
-Musk Melons
and my favorite -Narcissus,
what are theses LOL
You need to call your dealer n tell him you picked up some custom work this winter down south n what settings he recommends for pineapples and if John Deere recommends filler plates😂😂😂!
Thanks for the video Mike
If you choose orange or lemon option the combine will stand up right on its back wheels.
Next corn harvest choose pop corn option and put your helmet and goggles on....🍿🍿🍿
Big ol fancy million dollar X9 with all its old school levers and turn buckles ☺️👌
Great video Mike very informative.
Mike, your center is fixed and both sides flex from the center point. Just an engineering absolute.
Hello Mike great videos thanks for sharing 😊
@Brent Sutherland Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
Wish you had shown some more combining. Even in poor crop. I Enjoy watching
With any luck he will post the good stuff from the north farm over the next couple weeks.
@Ronald Luckie Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
I feel left out. My combine doesn't have those settings ☹️
Although I am getting hungry watching that list scroll by 😃
@James Hill Hi how are you? Hope we can be friends..
LOL yes we have Harvest popcorn. With the combine. LOL definitely not peaches or oranges. But I get it that's for all types of machines. Thanks for sharing with us
I maybe wrong but on our 640Fd I believe the platform is all the way up in ridged mode so I’m theory if your reel is adjusted correctly you can’t cut your fingers off in flex mode as it will never rise higher then it does in ridged.
Sorry to see those fields. They do look like you have combined them already. By the way, peanuts are not far off. You only need a dif header and possible other screens.
Magnifique vidéo et la récolte est bien intéressante
Mike your air hose just tossed out on that platform is driving my OCD crazy! Surely there’s storage for it.
popcorn harvest will be starting in Nebraska this next week. very similar to harvesting yellow field corn
Frankly I think the Lemmon tree would be a little hard on the header. And I’m sure the pineapples will make a mess in the rotors. But it your combine go for it! LOL
I went back through your video Mike and the center canvas was in slow beforehand. You can see it standing out at 11:50. Hope that helps!
Another cost you are incurring is ware and tear. If you pick up a stone you'll immediately see it. Either way I hope your North farm does great.
You are right! 😆 One can see the rocks a half mile away
@@mikemitchell2554 HAPPY BIRTHDAY wishes.
Hopefully things go well this weekend with the nice weather and progress is made on working towards completion of harvest.
Quality family time in the combine cab may be part of your birthday celebration
You would really have to flex that header for Garlic since it’s underground 😂
But you can combine a lot these plants when they go to seed for sowing again
You can combine sugar beet for seed for example
@@thomasforbes8904 Didn’t know that, it’s all sweet Corn and sugar beets by Taber (near me) I’ve never seen a regular Combine in the Sugar Beets 😂
@@Len_M. yes you let the beet grow until it bolts then it produces a long stem and a seed head then you can combine the long stems and collect the beet seed in the tank
@@thomasforbes8904 That’s cool. I’ll have to look for that, but I don’t think they let them goto seed here, it’s steady Semi’s with big trailers similar to a Silage trailer taking beets to the Sugar refinery. I don’t know if you get Rogers Sugar in the States.
hey lemons are good to harvest especially when they are my last name. great vid mike keep it up
I had to look it up. Zantedeschia. A Calla Lilly from South Africa hahaha 😆!!
I find it quite Fascinating how different a British harvest is so much more thicker and you can see the dirt where you are
And how much rainfall does Britain receive in a year? There’s your answer
@@clearskiesranch1362 this year Barely anything one of our driest year in years we had a bloody drought in Britain lol but how often does in rain 🌧 out there
@@freddietimpson3991 Roughly 6-8 inches this year. Or between 15-20cm
@@freddietimpson3991 some places not to far from me didn’t receive half of that
@@freddietimpson3991 and the crops, pasture, hay land that did manage to grow were eaten to the roots by grasshopper/locusts.
Wow! I thought you where sat on a harvested area until you set off!
That crop list literally made me die 😂🤣💀
thanks for showing the good and bad of farmin g
The cost of running your combine MUST be considered or cutting `on the ground` does have wear factor, I can see your rocks, but the impossible decision of whether too or not cut is a kin to flicking a coin up. I hope the roller did a good job !!
Hey Mike….. take care of that air hose on the platform!!!! Geez!!!!!
In Iowa we do infact combine popcorn.
I’ve personally had my fill of lentils for awhile. .32 reds are a joke, 55 last yr and crop really isn’t a standout this yr.
Buyers keep texting looking for small greens at .42, told them call when they are at .63, which is what they were last yr. I want the same price… fert is the same so why should we get .25 lb less??
These crooks should be locked up.
I get your point of getting something back, but would be a hard pill to swallow for me to be out there.
If one thought this crop was at record levels to grow … wait till next spring.
Right 🤷♂️ I personally don’t get this seed cost is gonna be 60$ an acre when reds are not even at 18$ a bu. Go buy some seed from another farmer and be done with it. I’d have crop insurance out write it off and be done not worth the hours and the abuse on the equipment
If it’s the same as an S series, there’s a diagnostic address you can change to shut off the alarm when you get off the seat with the separator still turning.
Seems to me like I have actually seen "wild" cucumbers growing in a field or two that I have combined in midwestern Indiana.
Hi Mike, What do you think of the NEXAT system, and will it work in your fields? did somoeone propose you to test it?
Hi Mike
The first years depreciation , is around 25% because the dealer has to make 15 % - 20% in margin. 5% covers warranty and 1st owners use , so effectively it has cost you around $250,000 to pull it out and get it dirty.
I understand what you have to do , and I've been down that road before. My heart goes out to you.
That’s just his, I think they have 8 more of these. 😢
I'd like to see someone combine some grapes...LOL
Let’s just hope it rains like the Amazons rain forest in Saskatchewan next year
LOOOOL at those options in the combine haha
Popcorn?? That comes from corn. So you can't harvest them😅
That’s just the John Deere snack ordering list. Just tap and it will be delivered asap!
@Clint Harnisfager Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
Howdy Mike enjoy your videos
Please don’t cut off your fingers you can’t hold your phone and show us your awesome videos Mike. Thanks 😂😂
Great awesome video mike, however John Deere makes harvesting equipment for those types of harvesting and I’m sure they have the same cab too
Icoon jyt
Can the x9 actually combine quinoa? seems like a crop that can do decent in the drought. do any of your neighbors farm it?
I also spotted you could combine black eyed peas the band
Do you run a rock roller where you run the headers on the ground in shot crops like these lentils? We do it on a lot of our acres. It makes a noticeable difference hear in eastern ND for cutting soybeans and not picking up rocks.
Yeah he runs two 80’ rollers.
Great vid
There are many questions in the comments regarding farming revenue. I’ll explain that farming isn’t much of a profitable business, debt ratio is high. Although, insurance helps with bad yield, taxes are lower or none and much money is spent on machinery maintenance or for new purchases. That’s what I have heard.
@Burt If you have a chat with your local farmers regularly, then only you can understand.
Mike there not enough to get seed or can you even do it like some other crops and use it for seed if not how you weigh out the cost of that much money in all that equipment taking such a beating for nothing let alone all the fuel and labor cost a lot of people will say I done it my self so no labor cost and I think that is wrong because weather you do it or someone else your time is worth something a lot of people don’t look at that way but your time is always worth something man I hope you all have a better year next year people think you and your family has lots of money weather you do or don’t is nobody business what I’m saying money or not there is nobody can keep taking hits like that the last two years that is a lot of bleeding out and sooner or later you run out of blood god knows what we need on these matters I hope everything works out good for you up north keep up the good work mike I hope you get plenty of blessings
We grow spinach for seed and combine it with a S760.
Trying to imagine a hopper full of zucchini. Someone would be shoveling out that hopper for sure. I vote Frankels for that job.😂😂
Now that's funny as heck😆😆😆 pineapple and tomatoes 😂😂😂
Time to put up some more bins!!!
Hi Mike. Strange crops. What settings do they suggest?!!!!!!!
That's exactly what I wanted to know! I'm trying to imagine the lower sieve setting for pineapples.
Hi Michael. I've been following your channel for a long time. In my humble opinion i think you would have a better chance of growing a crop in the Sahara desert than up their in Canada. I don't understand how you can afford it.I farm hear in Great Britain and grow Brewers Grains and milling wheat, if i had them kind yields you have the banks would have me sold out years ago.God bless you and the rest of your harvest
@Patricl Reilly Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
Popcorn is an actual crop that is harvested with a normal combine😂
@Edward Monken Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
Harvested right here in good ole Indiana!
How do you combine apples ???
What is depreciation cost per acre?
Ok I am curious, How do you think popcorn is harvested?
Seems to me..if you planted a field of lemon, pineapple, and raspberry..you could make a hell of a mixed drink.
They charge for that an Deere get the profit.
Mike maybe its time to try quinoa? Its fairly resistant to drought
The depreciation of an X series per hour of thresher use is hardly negligible. It probably close to 5x what fuel costs are
do you ever do anything to inprove soil helth to get better yields like growing cover crops and removing compaction
Compaction isn’t an issue and cover crops rarely make it through the winter.
@@clearskiesranch1362 why isnt compaction an issue, its an isue on all soil types evan from walking ofer an area you cause a bit of compaction and with them big tractors and tires you will cause alot of compaction that will prevent the roots from getting in to the moisture lower in the soil and cause water to run off a field in to the low spots rather than soke in to it
@@joseph-ur2ks Because the soil is too dry and as hard as concrete by this time of year for any compaction to form. It can be an issue in the spring when the soil has more tilth and moisture but not usually. Even if compaction layers were formed the -40C winters would eliminate them with no trouble.

"Forage Mix" had me, how on earth would you harvest "Forage Mix".
What,…you skipped right over cantaloupe. 😂😂😂
Mike, Why duals vs LSW's on the X9?
Cost
Selecting popcorn will initiate a toasty self destruct mode im sure
😆 Oh boy that would get interesting!
Apparently you can't put them in a grain dryer...🤷♂️😂😂
Breaking news, Mike is injured choking on bug, not falling off equipment or bins.
i had lentil soup today !!!
I combined some apples yesterday
Thinking Deere engineering learning from MacDon.
The auto latching door made the list for automation, but shifting gears requires you to get off your broken seat, out onto the messed-up ladder into a plastic compartment, and move a handle to change settings. The generic list of crop types is funny, but also kind of sad JD does not customize the list based on the equipment, even with equipment settings being set by the crop type.
Morning, late morning but still morning
They combine quite a bit of popcorn in Indiana
Sounds to me that Macdon patents came off and John Deere copied a lot of their designs. typical..
What will happen if next year will also be a bad year again.
What was on these grounds before, before man cultivated it.
May be it's better to do these ground in grass and let cattle grass on it
no you can not cut the finger off the reel with that header and run your feeder house in to float setting
Really it's about natural selection for drought resistant, non cracking lentils as those are the ones that will germinate and grow next season.
You are slowly adapting to natural conditions. That's a bonus, or curse, few think of
@Jonas Richert Hi, how are you? Am Cindy Smith i hope we can be good friends..
I’ve never thought of that but you’re right
Wow! I'm gonna go to the bank Monday morning and sign papers on a new X9 $2 / acre. Seriously quick math in my head says your closer to $40/50 acre with support equip.
😆 I would too! No, $2/ac is the fuel.. Everything else's is already been paid for already.. Like renting a car, you have already paid your money, you won't get it back when you return it, so go and take it for a road trip! 👌
Hey Mike, there should be rocks on your crop list. It makes me nervous seeing you running the header so close to the ground. It is like your rock picker, only 50 foot wide! 😱 Good news: With crop so poor, you see the rocks coming.
Did you check what was under M in that crop menu? you might be able to harvest a crop of money?
if you have no crop/product to sell for 2 years how does a company stay afloat?
@Thomas Curran Hi my name is Cindy Smith, how are you? Hope we can be friends..
An efficient farmer can make it if every 3rd or 4th year is a bumper crop. Most of them understand the money side very well. The rest are former farmers!
Ohhh !!!! Doesn't Chapel just love raspberries??
Farmers do harvest popcorn with combines in Iowa!!
I’m pretty sure harvesting popcorn is a normal thing
