@@campbellrockfarms168 Mike is young. When i was younger pushing deadlines i went 3- 4 days without sleep thinking i was getting more done. It took a toll physically.

Mike, if you need some stronger tape for air ducts/pipes try that silver ac tape they use on the inside of the metal duct work it’s really awesome. It’s the aluminum tape.
Wow Mike it’s June and still having hard frost man makes me get a chill on lol 😂 I have a friend down in Alabama cutting wheat already it’s under pivot 103 bushel an acre average man it’s a beautiful stand wheat he got shut down for rain yesterday and short on trucks I just can’t wait to see your harvest again stay safe man 🤙🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧
Mike you get some of the best shots in all of the utubes. You should tape your phone to a stick so you can get even better shots. Not gonna tell you to be careful because you already know. Have a good one bud.
Mike I have questions. Who runs your farm or is the farm manager? Is each brother in charge of something different? Who chooses what equipment gets bought?
8:55 - second row, depth =12. But either you figured it out, or it doesn´t matter now, a month later ;) Nice video again, Mike - I love learning how your stuff works.
@@NVMDSTEvil yea it’s only on the new tanks you can get the app on ur phone or ipad. Or that’s what I thought lol. I just said iPad cuz that’s what we use
Hi Mike, when I was working at the Timber Mill we used vibrators to stop the sawdust sticking in the Hopper's, would that work in your situation, just run them now and again, let me know of your views ❤️🇦🇺👍
I know this video is about a month behind, but have you gotten any rain up there since then? A saw a video saying their is a massive drought forming out west here in the states and up north into Canada.
Southern and Central Saskatchewan has had a few showers off and on in May and one big rain in June so far. And then some storms this past week that brought hail and really high winds to parts of the province. But things are really dry for the most part everywhere. We could get 3 to 4 inches and it would be dusty again in 2 days thats how dry it is.
The 1167 already has... Those videos will come out in a month or probably, because all my videos go out in chronological order. If you are too excited to wait to see it, you can always see the behind the scenes action and what's going on through Patreon. 🙂
Hello mike! I got two questions for you! Is the ground up seed going to germinate ok or is it ruined? Are you guys growing any gmo crops? I guess your wheat are all conventional but what about canola? If you do it would be interesting to hear your opinion about it because you are always honest about the pros and cons on things. Greetings from sweden. Thanks for a great show!
@Wayne Creek Land and Cattle Co. hopefully the new fendt 1167 two track starts to show up in Canada (engine has a bit more torque at low rpm than the 9rx 640).
@@SirHuddy sorry, nobrainer is a falsefriend... i'm from germany and had nobrainer connected with 'dumb idea' not with the actual meaning... corrected the comment😅👍
Hi Mike. Love ur videos. I have a weather ? for you. Being located where u are and the absolute reliance you have on the weather,. Do you have a weather service that u use to show what the models are showing?? From what I see right now, it looks like the models are showing a chance of severe weather for a few days next week starting Monday. Maybe you could talk about this in one of your videos.
Yo, Mike; I've got a question for you..... : You said in this vid, that Bourgault made drills up to 100 wide, and your're running the 84's. Are you considering the 100? I would believe that the 100 is a 12 tower version, and that means 16 more drills.... Can your tractors handle the xtra drag from 16 more drills? Keep the good vids comming, dude! love it.
So Mike I have a question, does the outside of the hoses on the bourgault wear out faster from wearing on the outside of the frame or does the inside of the hoses wear out faster from wearing on the outside of the material that's going through them. LOL
Likely anybody who buys a hundred foot drill uses a smaller seed cart and therefore should still probably balance out the total pull and could still use the same tractor, the balance between a larger tool and a smaller cart Probably in around the size of the 950 but the problem with that is then you have to fill more often so likely better to use the 84 foot drill with the bigger air cart. Less downtime in a day spent refilling the cart means more ground seeded
Hey Mike, you need to get sleep man. Tired operators make mistakes. Hope you have a Versatile dealer close by to get a demo of a DT 610. You’ll never go back to Johnny.
Mike, I know this might be a stupid question, but why did you enter the weight of the fertilizer with the weight of the bucket? I know the difference would not be huge, maybe 1 to 2 lbs, but with the acreage you have, it already makes a difference. Greatings from Poland!!
Hey mike I know you really like your fendt tractors, just wondering if you ever looked at the new john deere 8R series, we Just purchased three of them, the new cabs are really nice especially with the massageing seats and the refrigerator we got IVT in all of them and put the big LSW’s on two of them it really helps putting power to the ground plus the ride is great with those tires, and the new lighting package has 22 LED lights,
Wow, with your size of fields you can see today who's arriving tomorrow😂😍
And who left yesterday
Can watch your dog run for 3 days 🤣
The only youtube channel that likely saves you from asking a potentially embarrassing question..
Ha! 😂 That's what I am here for 😅
Mike I would like to thank you for the great job with the videos this year.
Mike. That red tuck tape is the most impressive product I've ever used.
The hydraulic power of that tractor is awesome
I don't own a Bourgault seeder, never will but thanks to Mike I now could probably run one, if the need should ever come up :)
When Mike said; "see that coming?". I really hoped he was gonna say; "Yep, it's the Fendt 1167 two track!" Hahahaha
That needs to happen
not for seeding. Go check out Fastline Austin's video. they just got the 2 track in at the end of May.
@@nikphoenix In the comments, he said that Mike got 1167 yesterday so they are most likely already finished seeding.
@@Matevz96 OK, last comment I saw said he was to be getting one. But not that he had gotten one. But that was posted several days ago.
Ahahah. Only people who know, know
I continue to be amazed at all the equipment and how everything must be 100% functional or "stuff happens". Thank you Mike for the videos. I really enjoy them.
Can't wait to see the new fendt!
I always wanted a dry spring and dry fall. You can do field work , but when it is wet, you can’t do anything.
Your luky with a wife like Ashtyn Mike, she always helping you in the field that's great.😃
Regardless of some problems, mostly from heavy use, looks like Bourgault builds some tough equipment (imo).
Great video Mike
👋👍thanks Mike,Aston.
Thank Mike for the great videos. I am so amazed at the complexity today. I really appreciate them and the work you and the team do.
Great awesome video mike ,
First rule minimum 2 hrs sleep every night!
Never break this rule.
Learned this lesson hard way.
Hard lesson to learn

It's aways Great to have your Wife work with you. My wife Maria. Works with me. Maria is a Big hard worker. Always looking to help out
*Tbh I'm not into farming but I really enjoy watching your videos on YT
Also if the weather cooperates we are all done but still getting rain witch is weord
Thanks Mike!
I bet Ashton was pissed when she turned up to work and found out you had emptied her Drill out 😱😱
use an ultra sound meter to find air leaks and vac leaks. Keep up the great work. hope for rain.
at 4:34 i just thought there was a air siren going down

His videos are over a month behind , it’s in upper eighties and ninety degrees in Saskatchewan this last week
Hey Mike love the big blue sky great vid ty
"Dragging around a dead yak". Only Mike.
I can confirm that statement is fact checked true.
Such a difference between Eastern and Western Canada.....scale, scale, scale
that seed bed is really dry. hope the rain is coming soon :-)
News says north midwest to be driest in 22 years
Mike you get some of the best shots in all of the utubes. You should tape your phone to a stick so you can get even better shots. Not gonna tell you to be careful because you already know. Have a good one bud.
You should save the pilons from year to year for the air carts so that you don't need to re make them every year.
Mike, 8:50 in just after you say about the depth you have one set at 12 rather than 7
Mikes seedathon!!!!
Those drills are like an industrial facility on their own..
Puts in 20k steps a day just walking around the equipment!
@@paulpence8895 Like a walk around the block
I can our truck coming, he’s 3 hours away.
Mike I have questions. Who runs your farm or is the farm manager? Is each brother in charge of something different? Who chooses what equipment gets bought?
You had one of the depths on 12 right after you said to make sure they were all on 7 🤣
I saw that as well! Looks like we are getting better at checking over the drill than Mike now.
hey Mike question when it comes time to upgrade your drill are you looking at 100’
8:55 - second row, depth =12. But either you figured it out, or it doesn´t matter now, a month later ;)
Nice video again, Mike - I love learning how your stuff works.
I noticed that too
Great video mike
Mike you could had kept that rock as a pet and kept him in the tractor to keep you company ☺️
Crap Mike, I thought you were going to suicide us under that trailer.
Am I the only one who now randomly checks the weather around them to get excited for any chance of rain??? Lol
so mike what happend with the john deer tractor you bought and had delivered to ashtons dads farm?
Look at his profile picture it’s hooked up to a drill it’s video will be coming they are just about a month behind
You should get the fendt 1162 tractor
Nice
Morning
May 3rd is time slower in Canada
Thanks for the video and love the video
you sure can see a long way when your trailer is the tallest thing for 50 miles
Mike with our 9950 we don’t have to run to the cab during calibration. There is an app for the iPad we use
He might not have the antenna on his monitor for xtend, works for android or apple btw and can be used on just about anything, phones included.
@@NVMDSTEvil yea it’s only on the new tanks you can get the app on ur phone or ipad. Or that’s what I thought lol. I just said iPad cuz that’s what we use
@@johnsonfarms4788 we can do the same thing with our 7700 tank.
@@johnsonfarms4788 just a function of the monitor mostly. Older monitor requires a USB wireless dongle, newer one comes with it.
@@NVMDSTEvil oh. We had a 2015 7700 you couldn’t do that so I thought It was just a 9000 series thing lol
+Mike Would it ever get dry enough that you would have to spray just water on the fields?

Mike how can you be sure the drill is accurately calculated when you fill the bucket to approximately three quarters?? 🤔
It normally takes a few trys
Hey Mike I’ve a question how hard is it to do everything with one hand and the camera in the other?, love the content

Hej Mike 9.01 min in the video there is one opener standing at 12 and not 7
hey Mike what's the white buckets for ? oh I see to. calibrate for when you change product sorry you've answered my question in the video
Mike , where do you store all your equipment when not in use ? Like we never see all the combines when your back at the farm .
I wonder why there isn't any vibration thingy for the inoculant tank so that it would break up by itself.
When will the fendt 1162 two track arrive on the farm ??

where are the trees?
Mike, i have a question. Regarding the calibration, at 15:38 tank #4 displays "Revs 163.7". Revs of what? The transfer auger? Also, what is that 22%?
Hope you don't spring too many leaks buddy.

forgot to minus the bucket weight
no you can't see it in this video but he sets the scale to zero when the empty bucket is attached

it looks more a knock off from viagra LOL kamagra
Don’t you need to zero the scale on the empty bucket? Or is it automatically deducted from the scale
Was wondering the same thing! Last time (2 videos ago?) he added the bucket weight on the scale.
pretty sure the scale saves the bucket weight as they do this alot so no need to scale it empty every time
Are you getting any rain up there yet?
8:56 min...depth-adjustmentlever at 12....i hope you fixed it within the last month ;)
