It's been a tough couple of years over there.. Uh oh.. When the ideals came, that wasnt too bad. Great videos back then.

Those things seem completely unnecessary we have cut the worst kinds of canola for yrs without those things.

Start with a personal garden plot growing your own food always worth it lol Porsche makes tractors lol

I imagine after harvest is over you might have a better shot at that happening, he likes to do tractor pull competitions during downtime

Keep in mind that Ashtyn is busy looking after Chapel.

Vozite li vi takve mašine u Dubrovniku?

Ain’t no body searching canola in Dubrovnik I would wager lol 😂

I currently live in Dubrovnik, but I'm from eastern Croatia and I work in agriculture.

In Dubrovnik, there are not enough large fields for farming, tourism, grapes and fish prevail here.

You can only fly so far from your home runway as a flying farmer. 20 miles I think. If Brian is a certified commercial operator he can fly in a 50 mile radius from his home base. I could be wrong on the distances but it’s something like that.

@@davidlogel2350 They would definately need another runway very close. Flying so far just to spray few acres would be economical nightmare.

@@Stasiek_Zabojca I know, he would be better off to hire Clayton Air Services or Provincial Air although I’m not sure if Provincial flies that far north.

They grow canola in Afghanistan?

That’s good advice man . Hope he picks it up 👍

I would agree with having the reel out also. I run mine 2/3 to 3/4 of the way out. Also reel in the crop and speed it up about 1.5 to 2 mph faster then ground speed. Tilt header all the way ahead it makes the hole taller and also makes the canvases less flat and grabbs crop better. I could go on and on.. also swath about 1000 ac a year myself. I never swath in the heat of the day either... only at night with dew or in the rain.

@@chrisanders995 I forgot to mention header angle. Didn't even think of that, but I run with full tilt also.

@@ghostrider7688 Thanx. Glad you thought so.

Wie viel Österreicher schauen noch zu

@@Michael-op3vq Nicht ganz heutiges Österreich. Aber Vorderösterreichische Donaustädte. 😅

Ditch the sheers and speed up reel and caves

That’s good advice right there man

That 40 ft is terrible as well 35 is plenty enough sometimes we even chop down to only 30.

100% speed up and get aggressive with that reel make a world of difference

@@kentonleriger8288 just be thankful mike did not cut your canola you may not have a combine left at the end. In his defence he is new to swathing and it shows a lot. Ahah

Ya he will hate his life when he starts combining lol...

Thanks for the comments Ken! Much appreciated.. Why was your 345 a dud? Didn't yield? Mine is a 65bu stand with 40bu grain.. Aka: " Trudeau Canola" - all stand and nothing in the head 😆😆 I also let some canola stand for the straight cutting comparsions and of that I sprayed some and didn't spray some. So it will be very interesting to see all the differences. I want to be done cutting a couple weeks here and the stuff I didn't spray I can still see some green in it... I think mistakes were made there 😆🤦🏻‍♂️

@@mikemitchell2554 The veracous seed treatment really set it back by at least 10-14 days. The DeKalb I had in the same field as a trial was easily 10 bushels better. But the other invigours l357 and 56 have been good. I was never a good swather operator, always leaving beaver huts. So now we straight cut most everything. But not being able to get it through the hole is usually a good problem. But I should add I'm 70 miles north of you, so your results may differ.

L340P and Pioneer 505 have been the winners so far here this fall.

@@davidlogel2350 we had field trials all those varieties in it pioneer was almost 20 busals less then the 340 invigor it was embarrassing for the pioneer lol the invigor s all treated with vercoras were top of the trial all the competition was in the bottom of the pack.

@@chadkubashek4622 that’s why we don’t grow just one variety Chad. What works in an area for for one guy may not work in a different area for another.

Depends how green you swath it usually

14-21 days

That’s like asking how much money you gross last year andrew

Thanks for the feedback Moe! 🙂 I ll be checking for the seed size differences tho I doubt I. Find any due to the fact I swathed it nearly ripe 😆🤦🏻‍♂️

@@mikemitchell2554 yah I hear ya that looks like a great crop nonetheless, I always used to hear the comments from the trucks when they come to the farm to help haul away “did you straight cut this?” They would ask I would always ask “ how do you know?” They would say “your seeds are fatter than most canola we haul” I guess in theory when our family was the first in our area to straight cut back in the late 90s the theory was to let the crop ripen and mature under its own will, get a good frost and smoke it dead, then go grab it We don’t dessicate an acre either we all believe if your gonna dessicate it you may as well swath it. Variety is key no doubt. In 2012 we had a giant wind like all of Alberta did and it blew a giant crop down to 12 bu/ac so we did get burned that year, the flip side to that was everyone was fishing their swaths outta the tree line and also got 20bu/ac so they one upped us that year 😂 in 2013 I went and bought the brand new w150 Deere / macdon swather(s)and fought every single acre like this video Sold the swather after that and never looked back. Biggest down fall is that we aren’t breaking any speed records during combining taking it straight or not sprayed 3-3.5mph with 40’ macdon combine header sometimes 4mph if she’s hot n windy. This year had 340pc yielded awesome but tough chewing no doubt. Great crops up north btw that new X9 is gonna burn the diesel in them beaver huts but she’ll be worth it 👍👍🏦 love my t-shirt also work hard stay humble 🙏🎉💪🙌

usually they will be fine.. the seeds may be smaller in those pods

Excellent question

Yes, the swather is the fastest way to maturity and we are getting late

Yes

@@richardradawetz8788 the Saskatchewan winds blow through thick or thin it dries good

The muskrat pile s. I’m from Saskatchewan and seen a lot of shitty swathing jobs.

Yes, we have one of the south farm and my brother Brian fly's it

Oil for cooking

Fuel for cars from the oil and leftovers is animal feed

Demoed it first, but bought it in the end.

Because without the auger in the back, bushie crops like Canola and peas will bunch up against the back of the header and not feed !

It’s to help it feed

It is the same (canola is genetically based on rapeseed). I believe the name was changed for marketing reasons.

It is the same thing, just called a different name

Because I want to finish harvest before Christmas 😆 seeding was late this spring and we are running out of time to get it dried down. Swathing is the fastest way to maturity
