- Here's an update of what's going on these days, and also picked up a Ernie replacement for the 16in grain auger due to we don't want to cook poor Ole Ernie's engine. 🙂

It never ceases to amuse me that your utility tractors are twice as powerful as anything we used for farming.
Yes,i'm old😄
During the 80's - we had 2 - 4640's and 2 - 8640's! They were great tractors!
Gravelbourg….. ohhhhh, I know that place. Went to school there for a while. Haven’t been back in a quarter century. Bet it hasn’t changed much. 😂 Nice BERT! 👍🏼
Nothing better than new tractor day!
Great video Mike
I still love that style John Deere so easy to maintain ! 👍
All these years this is the first time you have showed us the inside of a Bert lol
The July cooker is in full swing. Unfortunately. Harvest is coming fast. Take care, stay safe!
Beautiful old 46. One of the best Deere's ever built.
We never had one but what about 4960?
@@kkduncanson Me either, but I think its an updated 4840 with front wheel drive assist.
Our Bert had 200 hp at the PTO. It was one of the best tractors we ever owned.
That’s a nice old John Deere tractor. It’s in nice shape. It’s nice to have some old equipment. It’s like having classic cars. The older equipment is also very easy to fix. The new equipment you can’t fix it other then the normal maintenance. Which sucks.
I've spent many hours running a 4640 for my dad when I was younger. Plowed lots of acres with an offset disc and a 9 shank ripper. To this day My dad says it is the best tractor John Deere ever made.
Radar showN rain headed your way. Hope it gives your crop a drink.
Nice looking 4640
The amount of hours don't really matter. As long there's not much blowby. The engine might have been rebuilt. Just make sure cooling system is in great shape so you don't over heat it.
I spent 100s of hours in a 4640 pulling a 5-bottom moldboard 2-way flip plow with 18" bottoms in Washburn, Mo in the early 80s. It had the 8-speed hydrostatic transmission. I could barely pull that plow in 5th gear. Spent most of my day in 4th. I could do just 40 acres in an 8-hour day. I've never seen a 40-series tractor with 3 hydraulic pumps. That has to be an added option. For specs, you've got an 80 gallon fuel tank and 160 horses under the hood.
Salut Mike magnifique vidéo et tracteur et bien et la remorque et le camion et bien équipés 😂😮😊😮
Love the 4640 , bought mine in 1979 kept it for twenty plus years never broke down good luck
Another amazing Video for my pre-dinner Cup of tea
I live down south the temperatures you are talking about you would cook down here during the summer
True farmer. No flags or wide load signs. The DOT would love you. Even with the “F”reedom plate
I smoked ribs yesterday, between the heat and the smoke I’m not sure if I needed a tragger. 😅. Seems like this week the weather is going to change …… 🤞🤞
Nice tractor
i would not be scared to rebuild or repower that tractor if need be
OOHHH! Love the "all stand, and nothing in the head" phrase. That's funny.
The Trudeau joke 😂😂👌
Looks like you also need a private plane like your brother for commuting between south and north farm
Hello. Love all your videos. How far is the north farm from the south farm ? Have a good one!
never seen a 4640 without 3 point hitch
Have a look at that hour gauge on that new tractor again. It shows 19,2xx hours, not 12,000 hours.
That's a super nice trailer just saying.
Good looking Burt.
Morning
Truedeau Wheat. That’s funny.
Curious if you made it to Ag in Motion this year to have a look at the beast AF 11 ?
4640....Southsask farmer style!!!
A much better trailer 🤔😂🤣 but you would never admit it
If you're referring to my BWS trailer, absolutely it is!.. But the BWS was to serve a different purpose, it's main job was crop spraying. Being it was a pintle trailer, I hooked it up behind my water trailer and put my chemical and handler on the it. Hauling some light equipment around was a bonus 👌😂
Since I bought the Dash Trailer down south, I brought the old Dash Trailer north which rendered the BWS out of a job. That's why 👍🙂
Beautiful tractor except for the rears.
Love the Trudeau wheat line
There ain’t no 3 point linkage on dat Bert Mike . Ain’t no lights on there either . You better hook up some LEDs
Just curious. What is the area like around Duck Lake? My Dad was born there in 1914. The family eventually moved back to Ok/Tx. We still have relatives up there. Wouldn't know them, lol.
Yet here in Ontario we got 6” of rain from sunday afternoon till Tuesday night. We are flooded here!
You could point the camera at that sunset and I’d be just fine….. not that I don’t love your commentary and vast subject matter knowledge, but that scenery around you is pretty much amazing!
Looks like there is some smoke making it look pretty cool.
Do you hire for just harvest season or for year round?? I’m interested in coming up for harvest???
nice beast of a tractor !
Do you Zoom call with your family. Duel location farming is a very hard thing to do.
That's the first 4640 that I have seen with no 3 pt hitch
Tons of them sold like that on the prairies on both sides of the border. Didn’t need a three point for any of the implements so why pay for one was the attitude
Nice looking 4640. I thought they had the normal John Deere tachometer that went from 9:00 to 3:00. Looked like an aftermarket, John Deere probably never thought they would need more digits on the hour meters. Thanks for the Videos, Be Safe Mike.
Mike’s next video:
So I picked up this helicopter to fly back and forth. 😂
😂🤫
😂😂 was about to say the same thing 😂😂
Don’t give that lunatic any ideas. 😂😂😂
How far is it between north and south farm ? Seems like lot of trips
Roughly 350 miles
The RPM/hours gage is new, not the original.
@@baraktzfanya3980 some had that gauge from factory.
thats a 46. burts are 48s
All stand nothing in the head!😂😂😂
Is that safe to leave the tractor and trailer on the edge of the highway? I know you know what you are doing, that is clear, but I would be sick to death worrying about a deadly crash caused by the trailer (lights or no lights)
That highway probably doesn’t see one car an hour
How come you can't use one of the eight to ten Bert that is already standing on the south farm? 🙂
Maybe for the north farm so he does not put hours on his lease units.
Man Mike I’m starting to not understand why you haven’t gotten a pilots fixed wing/helicopter license you could save a lot of time with all the driving you do between fields
I would die... I push too hard and it would be death certificate
@@mikemitchell2554and driving 500km in the middle of the night on a couple hours sleep isn’t?
@@mikemitchell2554young guy from my hometown just passed away a week ago. Was coming home at 3 am and fell asleep at the wheel and went into the ditch. Left a wife and two kids under 5 behind. He always wanted to get that extra acre but failed to raise his most important crop
@@clearskiesranch1362 no sir, not even comparable.... If I get tired I just pull over for a nap or grab a coffee. A plane or helicopter at night you don't have those options. When it's foggy and winter snow storm, I would die 100%.. My younger brother Brian (who's a pilot) was taught if you "have" to be somewhere and don't have the flexibility to wait, then you drive and live another day. Never push limits in the air, it will always win 😂😂
How much do Berts cost up there
We are burning up here. July 5th 4/10 last rain south of weyburn. U catching any July rain on south farm ?
Those old round cab deeres are the best for auger. Can feather the pto on those. Not as easy with this new equipment with pto switch
Is it widespread burning up around weyburn or is it more local to where you are.
@@jameshill4900 Lots of Saskatchewan has been in a big heat wave the last few weeks, with little rain.
@@jameshill4900 no. Just from USA border 1/2 way up to weyburn. Crops around weyburn look amazing still
@@wallyyuriy8912us to the west of weyburn haven’t got sizeable rain since seeding
@@codyvermeulen1610 I believe it. South of Radville is at 4/10 for the year
👍
Where is the North farm located Mike??
He said where it was close to once I forget, but pretty sure it's really far north
I believe it is Wishart,about 170 km northeast of Regina.
Correction Bankend SK
Just get your chemical dealer to deliver to the runway they do it all the time
The shift knobs are black from wear from your hands.... not cuz they painted. Tell the story of the tractor and the use its seen
👋😊
Like the Trudeau comment.
Hahaha - Trudeau wheat . . .
Trudeau weight 😮😂ahahahahah 👍
Can somebody explain to me a deere is called bird?
It’s burt
It’s “Bert” like Bert and Ernie from the cartoon Sesame Street.
He calls his old Massey tractors Ernie…
Are you waiting for the dot to go for coffee lol
Haha always!
😂
I was always curious why at the south farm you guys have a million 60k-ish bushel bins and not just fewer 100-400k bushel bins
To many different crops/grades of crops. Big bins don’t handle Saskatchewan wind well if they’re empty. Up front cost. Less chance of whole crops spoiling. Canola heats up really easy
That's a super nice trailer just saying.
