Sam, 100% accurate. The EPA set air quality standards which were unreasonable, very low NOx and particulates. It was commonly known that the EPA would only approve systems that included EGR. They held to their edict and let the American trucker pay for the mess. Besides constantly failing DPFs and EGR systems the average fuel efficiency of class 8 trucks in the US fell from 6.5 mpg to 6.0 mpg loaded. The logic of burning more fuel to reduce emissions has escaped me. The Europeans wanted both reduced emissions and reduced CO2 and allowed their engine manufactures to pursue efficiency. In the last few years the EPA has looked at reducing CO2 and mandated an increase in fuel economy. This has been characterized by the press and literature as the government pushing for yet more progress. All this move is really doing is demanding that fuel efficiency be returned to the performance of diesels before the heavy handed regulators messed it up. They want credit for trying to undo their own screwup. Arrogant bastards.
That 4840 is badass!!! They are Freaking tanks..we had one for 15 years but was relatively low hours in South Carolina where we keep them nice n clean..

Here in the interior of Alaska we have 40 to 50 mph wind with 80 mph gusts today. Supposed to calm down this evening. We see a lot of wind here, so it's nothing unusual. Have a good one.
Hey I pick up your hat the other day. Lol made it all the way down to Oklahoma! Panhandle is getting ready to get snow. ! Winter is coming. Great video!
We have 3 Milwaukee m18 grease guns, and love them all. I say they’re the best electric grease gun on the market right now. Get the lock n’ lube coupler, well worth the money.
If you suffer from lots of wind I believe they do a tablet to help with that. I find the DPFs worse as they always choose the most in opportune times to need a regen
Great question... And it really too hard to tell - especially with you one being right there beside you. I can tell you we are burning less fuel tho, and the sample is by far the best we have ever seen. Could nearly seed it in some crops
We had that problem about 3 weeks ago it was so windy the straw coming out the back of the combine was all over the place. I struggled to get it all in the baler pick up ( as seen in one of my videos) and same as you we had no rain which is also very unusual
In northern Western Australia 45 degrees celcius is normal. Sometimes it gets as high as 50 degrees celcius where I’m from and that’s not even half way up north yet.
That is a smart thing to do is to shut down in a wind storm. I shut down all the time when the wind blows, like you say you never will stop it. Also then you are reliable for a fire, and when a fire breaks out then what when your neighbor looses his crop because you never stopped.
Hi Mike, excellent video thank you. Was just wondering if you've ever heard of a grease gun end fitting called Lock & Lube? I just bought one and I am extremely happy with it. It basically has a thumb operated latch that clamps onto the grease nipple, guaranteed no leaks and works up to 10,000 PSI. Comes with a spare set of Jaws and seals, I think mine was just shy of $50 but well worth it I think.
Mike, your parking your equipment side on to the wind and they are all side by side so if the first one went on fire the wind wound blow the flames to the next machine and the next etc. Might be better to park them further apart and facing into the wind. I absolutely love your videos by the way. One of the best on here 👍👍👍
What brand grain bin monitor system are you useing? Does it do temp and moister? Can't kill them old Deere's,Dad always said the good old days "started" when Deere came out with the 30 series Deere and the sound guard cab....
In true UK tradition, our spring barley would(is) be flat on the floor with just a mosquito's breath...that's if the rain hasn't (did) batter it down into it first!...Jeez what a harvest 2020 is turning out to be here!
@@johnthefarmer having said that, if our yields were like these guys we’d write it off and plough it in. From what I’m seeing they barely bring in 1 tonne per acre, rarely much more.
I’m down here in the south eastern corner of Washington we had to stop cutting because it was too windy. Couple fires just north of us burnt down a few houses
Sensors and electronics are a real problem we upgraded the milking equipment with latest technology and had lots of problems with all the sensors. Great when they are all working but just not designed robust enough for farming.
If you're doing the 100 hour service doesn't it mean you do the second 50 hour too ??!! Hahahaha That is serious wind , glad no fire in that !! Never seen that retractable auger (Rodondo ,) before very slick !!!
Why are the rear tires on the wheeled combines mounted opposite from the fronts? Why are the rear tires on the tracked combine mounted opposite from the rear tires of the wheeled combines?
Enjoy the videos thank you for taken time out to make them. Is he sample the product when emptying the trailers? Rough roads beat sensors up and rub wires the wrong way.
Ya PTO bad deal had a small farmer here, while he was at work mother and son was using trackter one got rapped up and the other tried to save the first one and got rapped upto. He came home fond both off thim. Can't put your self in those shoes mentally don't want to either.😞
Just curious - While you´ve got this extensive grain storage with a lot of silos, why do you still fill them with this mobile tractor mounted feeder? Don´t you have a tip somewhere that would allow the trailers to dump it all as fast as possible? Dumping 60000 lbs of grain back here takes like 40 seconds. Then the truck is on the move again.
I am seeing more New Holland combines around here where it was all john deere. The only reason i've heard was that the price saved about 100,000 per combine. How does Fendt compare in price with New Holland, and would you consider a New Holland combine to try?
I know here, I have a friend that has been trading every year for 1yr old used JD 790, this past year they wanted to much and they traded for a brand new big Case for what a 1yr old JD would have cost. Several guys have traded there JD for Case this year, on price. My friend, it’s his first time to own a Case combine, so that’s saying something.
And I heard the new X9 top of the range was around $900,000.00 US don't quote me ,at that price ,the New Holland CR 10-90 would be very competitive .I think JD makes good stuff but their getting a bit cheeky imo.
With your volume of grain hauling I would have thought you would have electric chutes on the grain trucks or is it simply something else to breakdown 🔧
