the first fendt I've seen in 25 years with out air

It's a 512 that identifies as a pre-emissions 516. Classic.

Would you mind doing a video on the pros and cons of your brother's tractor? With his permission and input of course!

Mike changes machinery more often than his underwear...

Hi from oz mike. Theonly reason you have starting issues with those duetz engines is you live in the wrong country. Lol. I have 2009 714 and it starts easy every time and there is no def. For those who dont know a -5 C is a big frost and 5C day is bloody cold. And you dont know what a hot day is. Lol. My thanks for your entertaining videos.

Mike and his tractors! 👍🚜🚜

Great awesome video Mike. Mikes in love with fendt

Don't worry Mike, winter is only 6 months in Canada, it'll start fine the rest of the year.

Cool tractor! Affordable workhorse, will do many hours! 👍

Mike, I pray for the time you have a bumper crop, and you build your dream shop! Congratulations on your 200k subscribers from Hanna, Indiana

For LED´s - put two big bars on the roof - one front and one back, then figure out where else you need it and place lights accordingly. I hate original lights because they are only there to make the tractor look cool in brochures. Nothing else. Otherwise, some of the halogen lights are very good as well,and there is a volume of light and a quality of light. LED is volume, Halogen is quality, and Xenon as well. LED will f up your depth perception. Also, put small lights above and around the driver side stairs, at the hookup, under the hood. Anywhere it feels right. Anywhere you want to check daily. Like motor oil, hydraulics....

Good choice Mike. 👌

i love my 516 Gen3, fully featured. we make over 1200hrs in a year, loving it, for us its perfect

Love the videos keep up the great work

I counted 12 combine headers, ...... impressive. 😉😀

Great tractor and also a nice bucket on that frontloader that's handy that hy dumb bucket.👍

I just watched this video " Every Air Seeder is BIGGER in Australia... " and i think some of the modifications might be useful to you, RedEAg channel

Good luck

i just cant get behind the deutz starting hard, ive never had an issue, and ive been running fendt since 2004 been through every generation available since then, as long as the block heater is plugged in they have started no problem, down to -35 i just dont get how its an issue for you one prov. away

Hi mike. We got rear fender extensions for our 516 from a 7series. They are a size longer and wider so they run down to your stairs keeping them and your mirrors clean in winter conditions. You do have to redrill some holes. Otherwise perfect fit.

Nice looking tractor Mike

when winter time rolls around turn your sterring wheel while cranking!

Great video Mike

if the 512 struggles to start, you can get gear reduction starter and optima batteries are fantastic in the cold

You should get a small case magnum 180 or 220 mike

We moved away from farm kings and went to Westfield AGI, what a hell of a auger, way better built than a farm king, the spine is heavier duty , smoother, doesn't bang when it's empty, way better overall haha

Well Mike what’s spring without the Oilers playing LA in the playoffs! Go Oilers Go! Hope you have a good planting season and rain!

Mike, you never thought about a Massey with dyna vt transmission? Might be sold by the same dealer as well. Agco power engine and same transmission as the fendt

Well wear Mike they are a great machine

We just went through a same dilemma with tractors needed a loader and smaller size to keep on front of bagger and extractor we ended up going with a Duetz 5120G checked all the boxes!

Mike, check out the new quicke q9s loaders. 3000kg SWL perfect size for 9'er fendts

If I remember correctly the other fendt's cranking speed is really poor during the winter. I would look into the highest cold cranking amp batteries you can shove in there. With some large guage cables. Winter will be interesting

It's super weird you say deutz engins don't start I worked at a dealership for a few years and never had problems starting them in cold I remember starting a m650 which is 180hp and it was -26c no problem starting

Mike magnifique tracteur serie5 fent et le chargeur et le dode et bien intéressante et bien équipés 😂😅😊😮

Nice Fendt 💪

Mike if the Def has been deleted. You need to have someone come tune that tractor should gain a easy 25hp to 30hp

Hi Mike, how about putting a front end loader back on Ernie & then strap him on the back of that service trailer. You could even put a small rear mounted sprayer on the back of Ernie & it could double as a counter weight & be full of water for fire fighting duties? I realise you have your true equipment needs covered but I am just scratching my head to think of a great use for Ernie, he reminds me of an old MF 165 we farmed with back in the 1980 & nostalgia has possibly got the better of me. Love the videos, keep them coming please.

Call the tip toe bucket in the uk Mike, lovely tractor.

Hay Mike to keep your grain bags dry hook up your fert dryers you just installed on your air carts..............

Your bagger/auger tractor is more lavish than my main tractor. Lol

Nice tractor

I think of costs and investments and how that factors into your operational profitability.

Tractors? That reminds me, I’d better get out of bed and go to work.

WEBASTO for the win!!! Next time get a 9kW 😂 But watch out to not assemble it too high in the coolant cycle. It needs to be below the extension tank, otherwise air bubbles accumulate in the heat exchanger and it fails long term...

Mike, do you have much luck with edge without working it in? I was always told harrowing it in was necessary but harrowing wastes fuel and packs soil so would rather float it instead.

Those rear tyres look very close to the middle pods with the steps in to reach the cab. One wheel doesn't have anything to protect the pod.If the wheels get too much mud does that maybe impact things?

Morning

Love that you know exactly what your previous tractor was ;D;D;D "It was a gen...mndmdmfb - had the Fendt1 cab! I feel this so bad! I had this all in order in my early days, but now I forgot more than I ever knew, it seems! I guess you just have to move on and adapt if you want to stay in the game, so somehow we need to expel all that old nerd knowledge, because the fact is, it doesn´t matter today. And today is what we need to bring food to the table, right? So yeah, f that old 7spankmeohmylord. Now Ernie is another story. That´s a childhood memory, and nobody forgets those.

I was a big massey fan until the sun there factory's down in canada now I'm a versatile guy but unfortunately they don't make anything that small

You should consider a newholland they are really good tractors for the smaller size

I have never heard of any cab tractor in last 25 years with no air, and we sold a pile of them. I guess it could be special ordered like that but it would have been more money for less! Hard to imagine!

I guess the new Fendt 600er series with the new agco core 50 engine is too expensive at the moment for this job.

The bucket should have a plate with the cubic yards on the bucket

Beauty Mike

Is there any Valtra dealers, if is so buy Valtra N or T series tractor. They have motors made by Sisu and they start on all temperatures. If possible you must try those, 5 gen is great an if need for bigger so try Q or S series they have Fendt cvt

We picked a used 514 & loader a couple of years ago. It's a really nice little tractor with all the goodies on it except air. It joined our old 712 as a second loader tractor, both with grapples. I wish all of our Fendts had the front window that comes over the top of the cab.

👍

You trade and or buy tractors/equipment all the time. How do you keep from losing money?

Buy a pushout bucket lol (popular with us dairies

We have 516 with the big 5x90 loader on it. Why wouldnt you get the bigger loader?

Should've gotten a valtra for cold starts

Is it small enough to be moved on a trailer by a pickup truck?

I cannot believe it….

👋🏼😎

Is your new to you tractor, 4 Cylinder?

L7 take the friggin sticoff your hat 😂😂

728 perhaps?

If iys about cold ststart isdue you shouod go for valtra

Well either youre not running the augers at full capacity or my tractor is kaput. A 260 magnum is set on his ass with a full auger like this

I say it again! Buy a Fendt 700 gen7!!!!

Just get a Massey then it will start

How much is a tractor like that worth?

Hard starting and no air. Strike two

Money bags mike.

You back to A BAD starting DEUTY . THIER parts & service in the US suck for help .

🥺😩😡😡

Nice bucket

Nice loading gran with that

we lay over 30bags a yr. the bagger tractor is from the early 80's, runs all day. the graint cart operator manually drives the tractor from his cab with a remote. guy only gets out to rev up, start/off pto
