Hi Mike, why not try a large heavy-duty cable tie to seal your grain bags at both ends, I hear that's a fairly successful way of approaching the issue as its both quick and efficient? 🤔

Durum... you're growing my spaghetti!

Stunning scenery, rolling flat without a tree in sight. Contrast between the perfect yellow field and the perfect blue sky. Would love to see that part of the world some day!

Mike thanks for telling us about your bad day. It makes me feel better about my day. And if you truly didn’t cuss once during all that I’m even more impressed. I really like your attitude and you the way you interact with your employees. The contest with getting stuck makes is fun. Your people operate the equipment like it’s theirs. I don’t see that much anymore. Thank you for making these videos. Otto from Otisco

It is nice when the manufacture/dealer have fast response times and actually support you. Love your videos.

FINALLY we saw ole Johnny again! I really love this great machine

That is quite a meal you got there, holy cow. Your lucky with Ashtin.👍

A “Hot Plate Unit” in Ashtyn’s combine is AMAZING. That is a new one for me but “Not Surprising” with your AWESOME WIFE. 👍😍🥰👍

Man, if they get those grain baggers so one man can start one and fill it, I am all in. As it is, I'd have to clean out the local bar to find enough help to get one started. Like your dealer's efforts in keeping you running.

That is so awesome. I really enjoy all your videos. Amazing that you all are able to keep it all together. Thanks for sharing

Love those fendts pulling those monster grain carts

When it rain , it pours....!!! Always something that goes wrong unexpectedly....!!! Lol

Every one was sending way lines and mike's going yumyumyumyumyum 😂😂

I was taught by local experienced farmers to ALWAYS park in the field in such a manner that you always drive forwards thus NEVER having to back up to eliminate hitting another unit or worse someone walking around in the dark. SAFETY FIRST

Good morning Mike.. Thank you for the tag along.. I'm glad your mind didn't break down.. Grin.. Have a great Monday.. Tis beautiful here in New Hampshire 😊

Just another day of farming. I am glad that you bring us along with your daily life of farming. Retired from the workforce and enjoying yt. God Bless and stay safe.

I am a fifth generation farmer from Ohio, we don’t do nearly the amount of beautiful prairie acres as you do, but we love our Agco equipment and have switched all of our equipment except our planter to their stuff. Some of it may not be “better” here and there but overall the company’s ambition to make things right and improve their products by listening and working with the farmer is what had us sold when our long time local Ford/Newholland dealer retired and was bought out. You never realize how amazing a dealer has been for so many years until he’s gone, and Agco has definitely taken his place even being further away they always get things done quick, and treat you like a neighbor. I can’t say the same for other colors in our area anyways. Can anyone tell my why John Deere thinks all their new equipment is like top secret nuclear weapons? They have become almost like government weird about their products, and are so strange about demos and even simple maintenance questions. Everything’s always this huge secret that they can’t say, and it’s going to cost you at least a $250.00 standard service call to even begin to answer your question. Why have they taken that route? Does anyone believe it has to do with the ongoing legal battle that possibly might lead to some landmark congressional legislation on their proprietary service regulations?

you have a guy working for you that looks like Chris Griffin from the family guy lol. Blue shirt loading grain bags .

Plenty of problems with the machines but it looks like your dealer network gets an A for effort to try and keep them moving. Should be a good week for harvest so good luck! And thanks for taking a few minutes of your day each day to entertain us.....😂 🤣

Ohh Mike...I hope things have gotten A LOT better for you! And to think that this video and the previous one were BEFORE probably the worst disaster you've experienced this harvest. Thoughts and prayers are with you guys up there! Hope the rest of your harvest is safe and much better than it's been!

Love the vids man. Sending good thoughts and prayers to you, your family, and everyone around the farm. You given me light in some dark times with the vids!

Nice video again Mike! The great thing you do is that you almost make us part of the operation and you show the important elements of the work and machines running and choices you have to make! Awesome🙂👍👌

Thanks for the video!

Hola. Qué pasada de campos de trigo... Madre mía... Impresionante. Un saludo desde España🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

Great video Mike!!!!!!👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Verry clean combining 👌🏼

Hi Mike nice that you have almost all the machines out running again. I must probably say that I am impressed with your way of handling it all, I know how frustrating it is when it is not running, and yet you are always in a good mood. hope you get through the last part of the harvest well. Have a good one, from Dk

"Should I have filmed that?" Yes Mike! The answer is always yes! Hahaha. My 3 year old and I love watching ur video when we get up. He holds his 9240 with a corn header, I drink my coffee, and we watch some Mike mowing grain. Idk what we will do when the season is over!

Always something down during harvest, 8 for you 1 for the mechanic.

Another great vid mike! Thanks bud!!

That looked a beautiful evening for farming , keep them coming mike .

Thanks for sharing Mike!

Morning Mike glad you do early AM uploads get to watch the man before work.

You have a great attitude ! Blessings.

Let's be honest, when Mike backed into the fire wagon, he said something other than,"come on, are you kidding me!?" Am I right?😂

Very impressive site all those headers, we don't see that many in one paddock her in Australia my be three at a time. The last header I drove was a case 660 and john Deere 105 . Keep up the good work thanks for your videos.

Thanks, Mike. Nice times. Wish I was there to help.

Just patiently waiting for a video of the ideal 10T .. 😬😬 Really curious how anyone likes the joy stick instead of the steering wheel now, it looks very interesting 🤔

Sample looks really clean well done Mike.

Very nice sample mike... looks clean and whole grain!!

Would love to drive one of those machines Mike great video.

Upon hearing how that day had went, I can definitely say today here on the farm has been a typical Monday morning! Lol Went to the p nut field to spray fungicide and had to come back to the shop to get the wire harness functioning properly 5 different times before spraying a lick of p nuts lol

Did someones take notes on what tools were the right ones to speed up that shear bolt replacement job ??!! Fortunately my wife of many many years takes incredible care of me like you're s does for you and I try to show,and tell her daily how !much I appreciate it !!! Dealer sure seems to be stepping up for sure !!!

Good morning Mike!

Hahaha! I love it. Can definitely relate to the mind break downs. The video you did where you were checking on swathed lentils I could totally relate to the scream of anguish there! Keep on keeping on Mike! The videos are great!

Great video Mike

que biennn akron de argentinaaaaa la embolzadora un orgullooo

Hey Mike, ..... congrats on the 75k subs .... 👍 🥂 😃

Yes Mike, you should always record that😁😂😂

Right on guys’ nother great video.. amazing how many grain bags you are going threw daily !!!

Don't worry about the drink, I'm just drinking my coffee and slurped it though I should. You're handling that better than I would

Thanks for the videos keep it up!

I wish I could run one of those combines. I am a teenage wheat farmer in Washington. We run a John Deere 9760 STS. Those combines look so fun.

One of these combines should have a Blue Bomber flag on it!!!

You need to record everything! Teacher Mike! Great video. Still like to meet Mom and Dad.

Hi Mike been missing some of your videos. Wow the crop looks good Man. Sorry about your Bad luck with the combines We are just about done with tomatoes and start in to Cotton. If done remember me I’m the John Deere guy from California. Awesome videos Mike

great video mike, thanks for keeping us entertained with the videos you have a great wife there mike

Keep up the nice vids man!!

Nice sample indeed!

Hi Mike and the crew.. you guys are the best. I wish i could come and work with you. Hi from Israel🤘🤘

That pesky flywheel bearing 🤣. Im still waiting for you to say you had one of the rods coming off that flywheel go out. I can't be the only one to snap em off.

Do you REALLY THINK that 50’ header can handle the EXTRA WIDE 2’ Swath 😂🤣

We have bagged a lot of silage in the past. What kind of a brake does that grain bagger have on it? The different baggers that we have used for silage in the past have had wheel brakes, cable to be stop brakes and the last one we used had a cable that double back out the back of the tunnel in a loop that pulled through the silage that have the bagger resistance.

Would morning fueling go much faster if you added a 2nd pump to the fuel trailer, and then parked the combines back to back so you could fuel two machines at once?

Everybody has to have a bad day now and then. Keep your head up it will get better. What percentage are you to being done with harvesting

And then she brings supper great job again

Mike if they are available in Canada try Dammann proficlass 12000l pulltype sprayer. They should meet youre canadian needs we got 2 of them on our farm in eastern Germany they are quite a bit more stable build then Amazone.

Awesome Mike 👍👍

Mike, you need to buy Ashtyn a Sous Vide setup for Christmas. I bought one this spring due to being bored from staying around the house thanks to COVID-19. It is truly fire and forget, well at least for a few hours up to a couple of days. I have a killer pulled pork recipe that cooks for 2 days and yields very moist, fall-apart pork. I then smoke it a couple of hours and put it into multiple zip-lock bags and freeze it for future use. The wife then uses it to make everything from BBQ sandwiches to enchiladas.

Nice sample.

Sorry to bother Mike, but I am interested to see how your soil looks like under the no-til or low till after treated with the 'Pro-till' practice (slews). Is it possible to show one day? Sure, not this time, because you're full-day harvesting. But maybe after harvest, whenever it is downtime, if ever that happens at your farm? Wonder how the crop rooting looks like underneath and how the crops get their nutrients from there. Your durum crop and product all look great, isn't it👌👍 Further pls can you show the flags or logo's you are using one day, maybe in a wider Q&A? Thnx a bunch buddy👍 Enjoy the durum races 👍😉

Love how positive you are mike even though those were crappy breakdowns which weren’t operator error which are good ones if you can say good breakdowns lol

Would be really awesome to see a timelapse of your day if you have a way of making that.. perhaps mix in some regular video content in between the timelapse to give us details on whats going on.. :-) ps.. that meal looks delicious 8-)

Is this all lit up right at the end with all the new light bars you guys added? Super bright out there

Keep up the good work

Lucky u got no fences eh !

Play safe be safe.

awesome mike!

I think a John Deere x9 would rlly suit your farm, you should try get a demo one in

Hi Mike i hope the fendt 10r come before you're finishing the harvesting time.😁

I see a lot of comments complaining about the Ideal combine, many from people who probably never operated a combine, let alone a Fendt Ideal combine. What makes you think other brands are any better? If you assume the JD X9 has less issues, don't make me laugh, it is new and will have many issues as all new machines have. I'm not bashing JD, that is just fact. When there are 7 machines running I would expect breakdowns to happen through a long harvest season and it just isn't the combines, the heads have breakdowns as well as you see in this video and they have far less moving parts than a combine. There are only two other combines in the same league as the Ideal 10T as far as throughput capacity, the Claas 8800 (which is a hungry monster) and the JD X9 1100. Case IH as of yet does not have a competitive machine, neither does New Holland since there is no way the CR10.90 will run with an Ideal 10T, short on power, threshing, and separating. So replacing the ideal combine isn't as easy as just trading them off for a X9 that will cost way more and still breakdown often with that many machines running. Furthermore the Ideal has excellent grain quality, excellent straw quality, relatively low losses, and decent throughput capacity. Not to mention a 3 year warranty that covers everything including oil and filters, no other combine manufacturer can touch that. Pair that with the fastest unloading, 485 bushel folding grain tank, fuel efficiency that is almost second to none, very large and extremely quiet cab, overall simple combine design with few belts and gearboxes, the ability to easily spread chaff over 50 ft, all combine internals and head are reversible, an unloading auger that can easily be extended for 60' heads and still handle the stress and weight (thus far), 295 HP variable speed header drive which is industry best as far as I know, Idealdrive joystick steering is now optional which is another industry first other than Tribine, etc, etc, etc. Yes it has its issues but AGCO will fix them as they already have been doing. The question is not if it will breakdown, but what kind of service will I receive when it breaks down and it looks to me that AGCO and Full Line Ag has been there to stand behind the product and stay true to their promises.

Hey Mike be interesting to hear you go through a farm history in one of your videos

Is that your combine that is sitting still by the bagger waiting to make an additional pass once grain cart advances or is Ashtyn watching over to be certain you guys are starting the new bag correctly 😂🤣

Would love to see some Caseih 9250s on your place.

@19:19 thats just the lack of coffee hahahahahaha :P

No more cooking supper on the engine manifold! 😝

The huge machines in the field look like a scene from Transformers.

man you are way to lucky !! i have alwasy said better lucky than good!!

At 19:48.....that sure looks like a homemade hutteritte bun ....stuffed full of pork...☝️

Awesome Video, keep it safe out there ! Quick question: Do you pick up the grain and bring it to your westeel bins later in the season, or do you sell it basicly off the field ?

Brian from "Brian's Farming Videos" calls it a "row of shame!".

Thanks again Mike! I just missing one thing... 4K!

Watching this during school lol

In South Africa we call those bags condoms

Mike Mitchell is a big blackface Trudeau fan, giving this place a wide berth.

Lets see a video on the burned combine!

Heard one ideal got little crispy

Mike are those augers on the ideal combines all the same length? The 9T auger looks longer. And I'm glad you don't have any trees to back the auger into! Haha I have seen it happen!

Hi Mike. Got the first fendt in South Africa. Just wondering what % engine load you set for max auto load. Am loving the 8T. Keep the great videos going.

Just wondering did the combines run on GPS/auto steer? Do they randomly check yields and storm for future use?
