For 6:30 in the morning, you’re a very intelligent man. Great business sense.
The hockey comparison is GOLD! As a fellow Canadian I can appreciate that
Mike's discussion of any aspect of the ag business is always informative and entertaining. Thank you buddy!
I found this to be the most interesting vlog that you've done in memory. 👍👍
Never touched a combine in my life but somehow feel like an expert since following your channel. Get me in the fields I’m ready!
God bless us farmers as i myself too. But were planting rice in asia pacific here in the philippines.
You did a great job explaining the circumstances. 👍
love way you think mike, The way all new equipment breaks down and all parts so hard get at times, having few extra machines around get job done is great idea.
Another combine is a good idea. It will help get the crops off the field quicker due to any weather faction you would face. Up North, weather can change quickly.
And lovers come and go so plan accordingly...oops wrong thread
Well said said Mike. You explained this very well for my city slickers friends and relatives
Nice long video thanks mike 👍 🇬🇧
Haha you're welcome! ☺️
Loving the longer vids Mike
Excellent video, good Sir!
Really appreciate the information you provide 👍
Looking forward to harvest up north.
Very informative video Mike, thanks for explanation about production years and differences !
Another great video Mike,and good to hear your philosophy on farming. The how's and why's very interesting.
I appreciate your video. It's from the heart and soul, and it teaches us exactly what you tell us. You don't have to have all new. You need a mix, and that's what life is about. That's what businesses about keep on doing what you're doing You will see great things in the future. God bless
After watching a lot of your videos I am always intrigued as how your family where your father and your brothers each run different operations that overlap
Good question
I always wondered about the difference in the model years...now I know! Thanks!
Wow, 10 combines at the south farm !
Still my favorite farm video on the tube. We have no crops in common, and when I farmed it was less than 1000 acres of corn, beans and winter wheat. Our operation was based mostly on repairing older equipment, but we would buy new when it seemed necessary so the discussion of new vs used was right on the money. Very entertaining and educational.
Great Video Mike, you explain it all so well. I totally get keeping a brand of equipment that is familiar. My unless is a Case guy for Combines, with the exception he does have 1 new Holland. He likes the New Holland, but always prefers to run a case, he has had so many, he just feels comfortable operating and maintaining them. He has demonstrated just about every brand, and after he gets back in his case he always says over the radio, OMG, I thought I'd never get back in here. So I get why you stick with Deers. Keep pumping out the videos, love them
A good pragmatic view of equipment allocation strategies!
Good morning Mike, Happy Friday!! From Winnipeg
Thanks again for your knowledge and sharing.
Couldn’t agree more! Us like yourself has a great mix of new and used can’t have a stable full of connors and Gretzkys lol 👍👍
Great video Mike! Good explanation of your reasoning too.
Thank you for these interesting insights on your hows and whys
You are very smart to buy used combines. And run used air seeders. Many farmer's equipment cost per acre is out of control.
One of your best videos.
love your reasoning and critical thinking Mike!
Keep on rockin Mike Mitchell and family 😎🤙🏼
Hopefully we will get to see Mike run an 8900 with the 7XL auger
i had a neighbor that traded tractors ever 3yrs and i asked him why do you trade so often he said the muffler was rusty.
Great video and you clearly have a great grasp on buying machinery....:)
Nice looking combine Mike
on our small farm we run a 9600 and two 7720 JD's
in my olinion one of the best vidios youve made spot on . all the best from the uk
It's really fun that you talk about the X vs S in regards to how many S combines the X is designed to "replace" and then tell the story of reality.
I just finished my Agronomy Certificate at Olds College and we had a presentation by the local dealer that will remain unnamed out of courtesy. The guy doing the equipment presentation was bragging up that the new X9 1100 was built to replace 3 S Combines. Three of them! I thought that was a bit hard to believe, but in my neck of the woods (hill country) we don't get the huge equipment like you have, so I didn't really have the background to challenge that claim. I guess sales guys are sales guy, so take their claims and cut them in half...
Sales guys are so full of shit lol, just ignore 90% of what they say
Remember this about sales people.
They tell you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear.
For a X9 to preplace 3 S690 or 790's someone should ask the salesman to do some math.
On the 780 i run iin good wheat i average about 17 acres a hour.
So if we take 3 780's x 17 acres per hour, and that computes to 51 acres a hour.
At 60 bushel per acre wheat, that computes to 3000 bushels per hour.
Thats not happening .
A local farmer here told me he had two 680s vs one x9 two 680s had cut more than one x9 1000
Land over equipment everyday! Great video mike!
The x9 is awesome. But a million bucks is hard to swallow
A million? Try 1.5M without a header in Canada…
Fantastic video, thank you sir
100% agree with everything you said 👍
I wish i would listen so carefully in school... 😂
🔥right on mike… Any of the 690 is just a all round great combine setup. You are making great financial decisions for your farm man, happy for you.. she’s got the big tires on her too, killer idea to update the throat with the for aft setup too. She’s a beautiful machine man.. 1500 hrs is gravy, here Ontario guyzz got 4000 hrs on em and still never touch engine on them 🔥👊🔥🔨⚙️🏍🚜and yes trade in the x’s get more 690
Great video Mike
i think you're explanation of buying poicy and pricing of new equipment was exceptional as well as a asset in land increasing, and depreciating equipment full stop thanks mike
Well said.......
Mike we have June 2014 s series and have the new style air scoop and def. Also on 2012,2013 and early 2014's the rear panel is different, late 2014 and up the slow moving sign is not in the middle anymore,the rear brake/tailights stick out more and point down and the top of the panel has a different shaped slope,and there is a sensor below muffler and muffler is higher,only crazy people notice these things.
Hey man I watch all your videos I just took lunch and I was watching your video and I had a good lunch will say but I spent like 5 minutes sitting here trying to figure out who you was talking to when you was in the combine anyways thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work
i enjoyed the ramble
40 ft in that north canola is asking for a lot out of that swather.
We use a 35ft Macdon and can have issues in getting it through the hole.
So what I do is set my GPS width to 30 ft.
Wow big difference.
It flows nice through the hole, nice smooth swath
Less trouble picking it up.
If it's not a over heavy crop I go back to 35 ft.
Experiment.
Another great Video Mike 👍
I think the easiest explanation is simply that time is precious in life and farming this is a tool that saves me time that I could be spending with my family. I had the capability so I decided what it cost was worth it for my time and as a bonus it makes me my money back
Hey Mike Case IH just came out with the new twin rotor combine that’s comparable to the X9. It’s called the AF10 you should look it up when you are bored with all your green ones. 😂
Those are like legit x9 copies
It's a rebadged New Holland, you'd save money just going Yellow at that point. 😂
Keep up the good work!
Good thing you had options image finishing lentils with plugging that every 300 ft
My mind is spinning with all the decisions that you are making. 🤪
Love your videos. Make sense
You were looking mighty magnificent while sitting in the combine cab and being hit by the Sunrise!
Great job Mike! Common sense is hardly common these days.
Hey mike, just met you and Ernie east of the Big Speedy! Happy trails
Thankyou! 🙂
great video mike
Wow, super interesting hearing your business philosophy from my perspective as a NZ dairy farmer. Yep, all that big stuff l buy 2nd hand. It all depreciates turns into rust! Land is still there in 100 yrs time and appreciates in value. Way better investment. I think of the total dollars invested in machinery to run my farm. Some jobs are better done by a contractor, l don't wear out my tractor, or need extra equipment , or pay for fuel, or insurance, or need to store it, and l get my time to do other things. Only so many hours in a lifetime, so spend them wisely. People like us who try things out and experiment are called "early adopters", fun way to live.
Great comparison Mike. Go Oilers Go!
Mike. Has there EVER been tears as equipment left the yard???? Maybe lol!!!
😆 I don't get attached to equipment for this reason
Morning Mike
good video
Hello Mike good combine 💪👍🇮🇹
Those s690 were a beast of a machine if you didn’t get a lemon
Magnifique moissonneuse batteuse 690i et la coupe 625 et bien équipés 😮😊😅😂
There are used X9 in Western ND for around 300,000.
a lot of rambling yes Mike. 😂that’s ok😊
but very educational, if you’re a farmer. 👌also if you’re a business owner doing other work
love your enology on how you can run a business, based on a hockey theme
awesome advice, i never thought about it that way before, but your totally right 👍
Mike. I live and farm in South Australia, the driest state of the driest continent on earth. We don't run Deere because it is too dry to seed in November/ December down here. We have run every colour but New Holland Combines gives us lowest loss in all crop conditions and surprisingly, Gleaner is a close second. Not willing to learn something new and sticking to the "tried and true" is a terrible business case ....
John Deere is the worst always has been always will be
😂 dream on
good morning brother ❤
I was with you until you talked about the Leafs, but at least I can handle disappointment as a die-hard Leafs.
Growing up with Wayne Gretzky you think I'd be an Oilers fan but you got to cheer for the hometown and Toronto is only an hour from Brantford.
You know you're not far from Winnipeg you could pick up the jets.
Mike, I'm a montana guy following the flames, lol.
In the UK we can tell easier than that how old the combine, or any vehicle is the number plate they since 2000 have the year in it.
given the short unload augur and the fixed header plate, the odds that this machine was used to pick up swaths and did not have a grain table on it. get it changed and you will be happy. you can replace those turnbuckles with two short large diameter cylinders.
put a macdon flex draper on and you don’t need to modify the feederhouse at all.
Wise man to buy land insded of shine equipment
Great video
Would love to hear your thoughts on the new 715 Quad in some depth!
The scenario explaining the swather SITTING most of the year is what people don't understand. A lot of farmers have a problem with how much those expensive combines sit, they don't cover the ground of FHF, most farmers harvest under a months timeframe, and you still gotta have a combine to pick up the windrow
Actually Mike, I think you'll find the whole extension is a big top aftermarket, not just the top rail
Id be taking 2017 north for sieve capacity...imo.
Good quality used is often times better than buying the latest and newest. Good used is proven working and everything that had a production error or was missed in assembly has broken and been gone through.
Believe it or not BMWs engineers went through scrapyards buying up old V10s that had been heat cycled and the material has settled to build their F1 and DTM engines on the old blocks. 🤷♂
Oilers are where it’s at Mike.
It's simple......an addict never has enough
200k that’s a steal
It would be nice if the bulk of your land was north. It seems the weather patterns for your south land is not great. And that’s just how it is for areas. They just don’t get much rain. You can tell this by the kind of soil the north land has. It’s more of black dirt then the lighter soil which needs more rain
Great video bud! I’m just gunna say the JD needs to bring back the 9600’s and 9610’s! They are a bullet proof machine! Like go ahead and put all the modern technology in the cab but keep the guts the same. I put a precision concave and cylinder in my 9610 before last year and what a difference that made! Bring them back!
😆 Thanks Travis! But aren't the T series the conventional?
@@mikemitchell2554 ya they are. We actually have one. Bought it new in 2021. But our green lentils are so brittle that the two extra threshing components are breaking them up really bad. Where in my 9610 the sample is in the acceptable range for the condition the lentils are in. Plus the T grinds the straw up into pretty much dust like the S where we like leaving more straw.
Doesn’t hurt to have more than one header per combine especially when parts are usually 3-4 days away from the factory. At least a guy can just drop the broken header and hook the other one up and keep going instead of having a combine sitting
I rhink it makes sense to stay with JD because all of the fronts are compatible and you have parts commonality and the staff are familiar with the machines.
Good morning from the UK
Good morning from fron the USA! About 6 AM here.
@@ginger_nosoul8:20 here from Texas
I wish you the best crop next year, so you can try claas combain! Claas is a big brand in EU :)
Is this his farm??
Dann braucht er fürs nächste Jahr nicht zu säen. Das macht der Claas dann schon 🤭🤭🤭
@@BarryDeiter He has 2 brothers and dad - that's their family farm.
@@renatekuraschinski1519 So, we had different opinions, this year new Claas Trion have been harvesting all my crops, and it was awesome!
Even though I truck full time. If I had the choice of sitting in a combine or semi. I’d STILL pick the semi. Not sure why
More interesting scenery lol
One can throw out a little more crop out the back when running $200,000, compared to owning $1,000,000 combine especially is your having short crops in the yield dept. you darn right I'd buy more land than lots of New Iron. few people generally will have both when things get tough. They are Never going to made more Dirt but they will continue to made new Iron. That's basically what your attempting to say to your followers.
Hope your doing a good clean out on those units when you bring them north, try not to bring new weeds up their
Always been a fan of John Deere combines, specifically the 9770 STS.... always gonna be my favorite one. Had the chance to ride in one and drive it manually for about 8 hours before the feeder house hydraulics quit working and wouldnt lift the header anymore. Had the offer to drive their brand new S690 the next morning but my old ass back couldnt handle the tracked 9770 STS. She rode ROUGH. Not a fan of tracks, but they sure do look good. Sure would have been nice driving the S690!
I have a 9600 and makes me feel good as I can harvest as much as your X9 in a poor year 😂
We been the John deere route. Got a claas lexion never lookrd back. They will out do your X
Hi Mike love your vids. Question here in Sweden our biggest crop is winter wheat, is it unusal to plant winter crops in Canada or why dont you? Here in Sweden we get better rut system and good weed controll with fall spraying. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Mike why not try going all over the states as well as Canada? I also am curious about your thoughts on Case’s 715 Steiger that they have come out with? And would you be willing to demo it?
