There aint nothing better than watching just recently released video from your channel and travelling to a winter cottage.

I remember as a kid when my sister lived in Edmonton....., so you'd go visit her for what ever reason. the most boring part of that trip was the moment you entered the "no radio zone" you push the seek button on the radio and she'd just keep going round, an round, and round...,this of course was Looooooooooooong before apple iPhones were ever a thing LOL

Glow plugs when cold, triple heat them, I.e. turn ignition on, wait for glow plug light to go out, immediately turn off and on again, wait for glow plug light to go out, then repeat again, soon as light goes out - no delay try to start straight away. Key is getting the cylinder hot so it starts.

Cold start ? Here in Australia I jumped I'm my fire truck (every farm has a fire truck) It was parked in the sun on a 46C* and we got a call Started it up and the engine was already nearly at operating temp Inside the cab was so hot we drove the first 2km to the fire with our feet jammed in the doors to keep them open

Cold weather and starting equipment can be a real problem. Nice job rolling that bag up! You take care.

Great 👍. So many things I'm not used to. Thanks again Mike and God Bless

Ohhhhhhh, I know the feeling when you start a cold diesel engine! CELEBRATION!!!!!!

A retired diesel engineer from the armed forces told me that once you have your diesel started for 5-10 mins, the best is to put them under a light load until it is warmed up. Letting it run for 30+mins does not make sense

My grandfather always carried a small crecent wrench like that it's amazing how useful they can be

How flat and straight the roads are over there never cease to amaze me!

You sure do a good job of anticipating questions and henceforth answering them, Mike!

Good morning Mike.. Brr.. Cold.. Thank you for the ride along ❤️ shares my lunch time orange with viewers.. Adios 😊

Im from Spain and i love when you said adiós amigos ♥️

I watch your videos and I was wondering when I might get to chime in, so here goes! The next time you want to start a cold Honda generator you will need a tarp like the kind you can buy anywhere at a tractor supply store, say a blue one. Take the generator over to a vehicle, say your truck, or it could be a car. Set the generator about 2 feet from the exhaust. Pull the tarp over the side of the truck box and tuck the tarp around the truck exhaust making sure it does not come into contact with that hot exhaust. Then wrap the tarp around the generator creating a tunnel of hot exhaust blowing into that generator. Move the tarp around so as not to melt the tarp to the truck exhaust or any of the plastic that covers the generator. Let your truck or vehicle idle inside that tarp for about 20 minutes to a half hour. That generator or snowblower or whatever will start up like it’s summertime. Make sure you always treat your fuel with sea foam and use premium fuel. I treat mine 1 ounce to the gallon. You could also use this same technique on that Tractor if your tarp was big enough.😀 I was the owner of a landscape, lawn care, snow plowing and snow removal business. This trick worked for me when the temp was 30 below and the wind chill factor was 50 below.All of my equipment stayed exposed to the elements, only being they were covered with a tarp to keep the snow off of them. I used all Honda equipment. Thanks, take care and stay safe😀

South Sask Farmer has a short loop in one of their remotes that when it's cold, once you start the tractor turn on that remote and it circulates the hydraulic fluid.

MAN engines are basically from their truck/semi line of engines adapted to tractors and other machines. It is the reason they have lower top RPM as they are designed for max torque and HP under 2000 RPM, but they last a long time. I worked with a road milling machine that had two MAN 600 HP engines in tandem and the whistle of turbines was sweeeet.

The loneliest road I ever rode on was From Medicine Hat to Havre MT. Even the Yukon and Alaska didn’t seem any less populated.

excellent explanations Mike, thank you

Man....that's looks cold!! Some operation to start the fendt!

that bag sure did a lot bigger compared to when it was new out the box, farmers really can grow everything

Great video Mike

The first code 1D.1.0C is for the preheater, that would have help a lot, call your dealer is on warranty.

They say you're insane if you talk to yourself and answer yourself, but we will just say MIKE is the Master. hehehe..

Thanks Mike!

Hi Mike. I genererly figure min 3-4 hrs plugged in when it's that cold. Thanks for the vid.

either works very well for cold starts

Check out Fast Ag's bag extractor with it's roller it seems to save a ton of time rerolling the bags

Make sure you have the lever on the gas to on. I have the same generator and it will quite in about 1 or 2 minutes.

Mike's #DDE all day everyday...love ya

I really really like your content. I would like to see the bag being baled also LOL

Nice video 👌

Take a battery charger with you and run it on the generator and warm up the battery while you warm the tractor.

Yeah he's pretty good at that

It’s too cold for the Machinery Mike, adiós amigo ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

Have you ever tarped your equipment when it’s out in the vast wide open. It would help a lot I’m sure.

Got two cresent wrenches smaller than that, although we call them shifters, as in shifting spanner.

You have produced some of the best videos on winter time grain bag unloading and handling. I have a question, why not just throw some diesel fuel on the empty bag and burn it on location instead of handling them so much.

Great video Mike. I have a question how much does an empty grain bag weigh?

Should have pointed the exhaust from the generator under the tractor when you left, doubt it would have done much but couldn't hurt.

Saskatchewan looks a lot like the texas panhandle, flat with no trees!

It's not a Mike's videos if you don't hear "gods bye" 15 times in 20 minutes. Lol

Them honda EU generators are nice.

I hate generators that you have to pull a string to start. I found a Honda competitive generator that is 3500 W, much quiet than Honda, half of the Honda price and it has a ... starter, so you just push a button to start. Works like a champ anytime I started. We use it for camping and hunting trips

I think i have put on more miles watching this channel. 🤪

Mike can you also show how you use the front loader?

Hi Mike, It may have already been answered, but wouldn't a small amount of ether spray into the air inlet make the diesel air mixture ignite much more easily saving batteries and starter ?

Can you use ether on the Fendt?

Ouch! Way to cold 🥶

It is cheaper to use a couple of liters of petrol to heat the tractor, than to start it cold with all that entails in the form of extra wear and tear on both the engine and the other components.

Hey Mike. Why don't you put winter oils and blankets on your tractor to winterize it? Not worth the cost?

At -25c, I reckon anything would be rough to start being left out all night. 🥶🥶

How are you liking the Duramax (Chevy) so far?

which type of coolant used in fendt?

My deutz fahr is a great starter even though it doesn't get as cold as -25

👍

Bonus footage if you hang out beyond the first good bye!

I understand the purpose of using bags when they first came out but, I am a old farmer. Everybody should have to work on a farm for a couple years just to get a little idea of the work involved.

We run espar heaters on our tractors, no generator required.

Mike a question for your next video. Whats your thoughts on the new electric vehicle craze? Think there will ever be electric tractors and combines

Synthetic 5W40? What does Fendt/dealer put in? If it has 15W40 in it that's a ton of extra work for the starter. On our trucks 5W40 gives us 75 more RPM during starting below - 18C. Helps!

How many km on your pickup now?

Next time using the generator points exhaust At the oil pan

Should have put the generator under the engine of the tractor, heat from the exhaust would at least warm the engine oil a little.

7:24 Yeeeeeeeahhhhh

Bit like me in the morning

Wondering why they don’t have small battery chargers built in along with a electric battery blanket. The tractor has Ac power already. Not difficult to tap off that and power a few more devices and help that start in the cold

So Canadian saying bye 3-4 times lol

I never have that problem with my 700s, I can start them in minis 20 with out plugging them in.

@Mike Mitchell Any plans on getting Fendt to drop off an 1167 to demo?

Morning

👍👍👍👍

Hey Mike, have You had any problem with DEF systems due to cold weather?

Have you ever tried a Valtra?

What definition is kinda cold :-) ? How cold ?

Hey mike you need a Valtra from Finland insted of German summer junk. Valtra too is in the Agco group. Valtra is made in a country who is cold or colder than Canada. :)

Check the air filter as mind a foam piece of rubbish fell to pieces and it’s only used occasionally

Mike is any of your semis pulling sets of B trains , or are they all 40 foot hopper bottom trailers ??

my crescent gets that small when its - 25c

would a case or jd start at -20 without being pluged in ?

In the middle of YUK TUK........🤣🤣🤣🤣

Did you get your 100,000 subscriber silver play button yet. You can get it through the KZfaq studio.

Only use premium fuel in small engines.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised that tractor was that difficult to start. According to Google, -25C is -13F, which isn't awfully cold in the scheme of things. We got down to about that here a couple of weeks ago, and granted, the highs were up around 10F (-12C), but the tractors fired up just fine so long as the block heaters were plugged in. One or two cranks and they'd fire on all cylinders right away. Definitely glad we don't deal with it on a regular basis, though. That was an anomaly down here.

Why wasn't that bag rolled by the grain extractor?

Have you guys ever ran IH tractors in the past?

My son inlaw has 8 fendts dam good tractor but a bear to start when cold.

Mike, it`s Webasto, not Webasco :)

Not a fan of these newer units having a different style cord... like let’s re invent the wheel again

maybe german technique doesn't like such cold ;-) greets from Germany

Did the 1050 sell

Need a ALP ginerator runs only on LP starts every time runs 50 hours on a standard bottle but only 1000w.😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

Keep starting fluid in cab little bit goes long way

What was the reason for having the battery off at 5:25

Do y’all watch trailer park boys Ik it’s a Canadian show but my guys in southern USA watch it too😂

I am of course being that smartass but it´s just not normal that you have relatively many problems with the Webasto´s . We have more problems with ADBLUE . Maybe not enough KW ?

Lmao ...Sucks you gotta plug in the John Deere in July when cloud comes over ... 🤣

You need to wash your pickup Mike

Fendt MAN engines doesn't use a grid heater instead of plugs? Some engines are cold blooded, next engine doesn't have an issue at same temps... however they're setup.

Either Mike

You Need to buy a valtra you have no problems with starting wen it is cold 😉I promaise
