Its because you have awesome content mike. No other farmer would probably take the time to record the things you do, for instance recording yourself mudding around, or getting stuck and recording yourself pulling yourself out. others would probably think its to much time.
@Michelle - The fact Mike is prepared to show you the good with the bad is one of his greatest attributes, so many videos get edited showing perfection all the time & as we all know too well, life just isn't like that. 😊
Just rewatching old videos and i would love if you could demo the new Case 645 700 HP Stieger!! And tryin pull that big drill on the south farm this year would be interesting to see the difference between the old Case Stiegers and the new bigger one.
18:41 A crescent wrench is better than a hammer. The crescent wrench is basically an adjustable hammer. I mean pretty much every tool can and will be used as a hammer. Your hammer of choice at any given time is the tool/rock/stick/.... that is closest to you.😎😁😂
Triples look better anyway. Mike I always felt like they begin to float in the mud after a point on triples, huge wide footprint but when the tyres plug between each other it becomes a very wide looking land roller. The weight spread out to the side as opposed to directly under the machine makes a huge difference to the weight footprint. Just my views from driving on triples.
my friend Eli is a certified John deere mechanic, where we live there's only 2 brands you see used mostly deere and case. There is a sensor that is very touchy especially after 2 years which is the sensor responsible for giving the operator a estimated "slip" when pulling thru a sticky or muddy field, that being said I'm sure the deere slips more then the fendt I'm just saying it might not be slippn as much as you think. I loved the video Mike. I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July 🎉
Two tracks seem strange to me when it comes to tractors, makes perfect sense for a bulldozer or excavator etc that you want to go STRAIGHT and have good traction and floatation, but for a tractor I can't see how much the little extra footprint can make up for the control and manoeuvrability of articulation whether its tyres or tracks, unless of course most of your fields are just up and back in straight lines :) But then again growing up in western australia just about anything with more than 300hp that isn't articulated is kind of odd to me :P farming marginal land with limited rainfall means you don't get stuck very often :D
little ground torn up when turning, for LESS LPS (pounds per square inch) THAN A 280 lb PERSONS BOOT for ''compression'' far outweights the slight issues you get on ENDROWS while damage on endrows ''is normal'' eh... something like that...
@@ke6gwf indeed, but they are usually only WORKING in a straight line (or sitting still for an excavator), giving up half your traction/power to steer is not exactly ideal :P it certainly has it's place though, the extra footprint helps to stay above the surface, the lack of turning and effectively getting pulled IN to soft ground seems to negate it though, there is a good reason bulldozers tend to work in pairs, WHEN not IF one gets stuck the other pulls it out
I know there compared about the same on horse power but witch one seems like it handles the drill in power I know the Deere is heavier you run your little different than we do in Kentucky we don’t have them big drills and carts like you all do but we do deep ripping and pull big disk what I was talking about on running different I know they all have a power band at certain rpm and running like the way you run helps with burning fuel where we run our at wide open throttle I have tried it both ways it seems like they burn the same amount of fuel the reason I run wide open is I have all of my power right there you get to a bad spot it will pull down to it power band and wide open I can keep it running cooler I everything seems to run cooler not just the engine I guess it boils down to different strokes for different folks keep up the good work and videos thanks mike keep it coming and stay safe
can't wait to see those fields when harvesting time rolls around. These fields gotta look weird with all those looparounds and especially when you have to go round n round with a combine. must be exhausting compared to home just going straight for miles
It's the steering hitch on the drill that helps a lot. We have the same drills 1 with high flotation tires like that and 1 with not. Big difference when turning
You are right it won't matter what brand of tractor if you get into to much water and mud combo.you will have trouble this fall combining if it don't dry up.
Blows my mind how much wet stuff you encounter. We figured that out years ago here in south Louisiana and switched everything to R2s. That machine on triple R2s would walk out those holes
Now, they won’t pull quite as well on dry ground and they aren’t too good for compaction but in the real world, what you encounter everyday, who cares.
I saw a picture of something interesting, a big JD two track they were using to tile, they had put a spacer and a tire on the back of the track. I’m sure it voids the warranty but interesting. Also saw a tracked combine that they had put duals on the tracks. So I guess it can be done if needed.
So happy that the John Deere has arrived. However, I hope you're taking a break today to celebrate Independence Day. So many families out here are thankful for all the food you supply working with the soil - our most important sustainable resource. I know one thing - despite the so-called worldwide ongoing worldwide food shortages and empty shelves, most families that I know have well stocked pantries in preparation for the celebration. And it's all because of people like you. 👍
@@rolandvachon9848 Well in that case, I guess it's a regular dusk to dawn workday for you today. Hope you had a nice Canada Day. One of the things I particularly enjoy is special curated mustard I have imported from Canada , along with Canada Dry Ginger Ale - both of which are well stocked in the pantry.
Which tractor is better on fuel, considering the deere rpm are higher for the needed fan speed? Have you ever shown your dugout you made in the winter? Great videos
Hey Mike,here’s something that your You Tube analytics doesn’t show you…! I’m subscribed to 206 YT channels; 3 or so farming channels,3 or so logging channels,a few car crash channels,some true crime,some commentary channels, a handful of tech channels, classic car repair,film reviews,and politics,to name a few. Your channel is consistently the most watched out of all of those,and the ONLY channel where I make sure that I watch every video that comes out. Im not wanting a ❤️ from you,a job, a hug,a cookie, or wanting to get in your will or on your Christmas list. Although a complimentary patreon membership would be nice. Im sure others have much more solid Mike Mitchel bona fides than what I do,even! I forget where I was going with this. I think I was going to mention that sometimes I wish you would give just a tiny bit more insight into what’s happening on the rest of the farm! Like how are things going back at the main farm and all that. You don’t need to respond to this or change the way you do things one iota! You’re busy enough! I’m just giving you some feedback! I couldn’t enjoy your channel more! Edit: Hey,you did mention that things were very dry down south. I posted my original comment about halfway through the video!
A lot of the seed in the water will not germinate do to it will rot before .yes the 9 r will have a higher slip but it has more tread on the ground compared to a two track.

the next time you call a dealer about a new tractor just say: I need a tractor with a little more peanut butter and jam. that would be a funny conversation
I'm surprised you've had so many problems with the Agtron sensors. I have Agtron sensors on all my seed and fert lines for 2 years and have only had 3 or 4 faulty sensors
Really stupid equipment question - With conditions this goopy and wet, would you be doing better with a smaller setup? in terms of drill width and weight? Like, it's awesome when it's working, but you seem to spend so much time circling around and avoiding low ground is it actually working more efficiently in terms of time per acre covered?
Well Mike I have a question. Do you think you would notice the difference if you lowered the tire air pressure 1 lb each? More than 1 lb?? Hope your don't. It's the 4th of July and it looks real wet in your neighborhood. Cheers🎉
Chris Maries, terrible, I have a 580 quad and it won’t pull it self out of a wet paper bag if it’s wet. It’s simple physics, tracks can’t dig in and pull like tires can. The tracks just slip on top the ground
Yea much the same as the 1167 We noticed this year the first tine seeding really wet with our new quad track We spun out way more offern The tyres do get though better but they make a mess It's a choice do you want bog marks from one end of the paddock to the other or do you want clean feilds but spin out way more We only got stuck twice, but 8 times a day we spun out where I just had to lift up reverse a bit then go again and leave a bit of a hole in the feild, it's messy but there's really no other option
@@johnnyappleseed9254 all we run is quadtracs. This is case now I'm not sure if that's what you are taking about but we seed wet and drive through a lot more than a wheel tractor.
Maybe I'm remembering wrong but didn't I hear you were beginning to rethink triples over tracks a year or so ago? Like maybe triples may be better than tracks after all?
Thank you for sharing your wonderful farming life with us. You feed the world. Much respect!

Good luck seeding your 2022 crops Mike
Wish you could compare and contrast a CaseIH quad track in your lineup. Enjoy your channel!
go back a few years and you'll see he actually ran a case for a season
There's a video of Mike borrowing his father in law's Case quad track if you look in the channels video list.
You surprize me when you say you have more traction with the 1167. I would have thought the triples would have had more grip especially when wet.
Thank you for posting these videos Mike. I enjoy the escape it delivers!
any rain down south, in medicine hat Alberta we are going to have a good crop and more rain coming today!

Mike, it's time for 1050, 6 generations 😎
Hope you get some rain out of that storm system - have a good one
Mike go ahead and get Ashton a red quad 620 and get it tuned up another 100 horses then you can go👍
Mike how's the moisture situation at the south farm now in July?
Looks great, thank you for all you do.
Thanks for taking the time out to make these videos, always interesting
Thanks for the vids! Let's see you unplug that drill!😁
I saw a picture of something interesting, a big JD two track they were using to tile, they had put a spacer and a tire on the back of the track. I’m sure it voids the warranty but interesting. Also saw a tracked combine that they had put duals on the tracks. So I guess it can be done if needed.
Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤️
Wow it’s greasy up there on that north farm!
You do a great job on all your videos. Explain everything very clearly. Very good job 👏
Will you add weight in the front end to make it heavier for more traction.
Mike, if you need part(s) from home, does Brian ever fly them up to you in the field, depending on firmness of the ground with 402 Ag Tractor-?
That land would be good for cattle or a golf course. :)
We mounted a rotary screen on the air drill fan to stop chaff from coming in
I believe you can buy a kit that when added draws air from way above the top of the cart avoiding blocked intakes.
Where's your quad tracks they will do better than either one especiallly on unfirm ground.

Buy a väderstad( seed hawk). You'll never want any other drill
Which tractor is better on fuel, considering the deere rpm are higher for the needed fan speed? Have you ever shown your dugout you made in the winter? Great videos
Still think that drill and cart would pull better I'd the tires were turned the other way round which would cause less drag, making it easier to pull.

Our delta track 66500 lbs
No screaming from the back 😅
Reason your moving along slower then when you see farmers going 8 mph with corn planters..
It’s because you have narrow tires they don’t grab is good

I have Agtron sensors on all my seed and fert lines for 2 years and have only had 3 or 4 faulty sensors

Kicking up a little bit of dust huh Mike 🚜
Hi Mike a question. It's been a long time since I've seen that fendt 516 don't you have it anymore?
Maybe seems like a job for the quad track, but I'm guessing you left that back in the dry lands.
Thank you happy Fourth of July from the states.
Bellissimo video. Bei mezzi. Bravo.👍👍👋👋💪🚜🇮🇹🔝💪
Curious to know the difference in def consumption between the john deeres and the new fendt?
Have you thought about putting drain tiles in for the fields you planning now
any difference with fuel consumption between the two tractors
That's an interesting question.
I wonder if all that slippage with the Deere burns a lot of unnecessary fuel!?
He said the Deere needs more rpm to maintain fan which of assume equates to more fuel consumption
I love that big John deer, looks better on wheels than tracks, hopefully you get a crop of before the weather turns to bad.
July 5 today , was wondering if u guys r getting any rain on south farm ???
The outside wheel on your bar looks like it is not running straight. The one on your right when looking forward.
I wanna see some 1400 LSWs on that tractor
I enjoy your videos. You do a fantastic job. I always look forward to seeing the next one.
Hey Mike. What does the emergence look like up there now? Just wondering if it suffered with as wet as it was when you were seeding?
Mike! Please can we see a tug of war between 4 tracks and tripples.
Need more weight on the front axle Mike

Hi Mike, I’ve got a question for you. How would a quad track go in these conditions?
yeh a versatile look good there
Be similar to the 9620R currently. Will have improvements regarding slipping but performance wise will be almost the same

I though the John Deere would slip less and was heavier
They used to recommend not pulling heavy under 4 mph, would it be better to pull 68ft and go say 5-6 mph??
So is the compromise a 4 track . Tracks & articulated?
Oh, almost forgot, it sure gives a New meaning when you say you still have Oats to plant. I guessyour feeling your Oats?????????Lol
Why not try an articulated tractor with tracks?
Take a day off and hang out with your family.
He probably did..it was Canada day long weekend
Is this no till drill?
Great video Mike
Planting in that too wet ground, how do you prevent the seed from rotting away?
Do you have your tire pressure down on the deere? Would more weight help the deere?
You don’t have all new tires on the deere right?
How many total acres do you farm🤔 I really enjoy your videos👏
Hi Mike ,How would a quad track compare in these conditions ?
It wouldn’t make it 5 feet in wet ground pulling that behemoth drill
@@johnnyappleseed9254 all we run is quadtracs. This is case now I'm not sure if that's what you are taking about but we seed wet and drive through a lot more than a wheel tractor.
Can you level land ? Like they do in the midwest.
mike any idea on how you think wider duals would work vs those skinny triples? yes i know you are not switching, but you still must have an idea
Maybe I'm remembering wrong but didn't I hear you were beginning to rethink triples over tracks a year or so ago? Like maybe triples may be better than tracks after all?

Hmm i missed this one. How??????
did you guys get replacements for all the fendt ideal combines yet.just curious because of shortage of good used combines this year.
Love your videos
Have you ever try running R2 tires for the mud?
Rice tires for mud better traction. Higher lugs.
Heeeey there's a really big tire on the front🙄
Keep the videos coming.
What was used in your area 50 years ago..and size of average farm
HEY Mike am i see things or is one of your transport tires wider ?????
