Mike Mitchell Mike your having way too much fun with that mower.😂😂🤣🤣🤣😆😆

Perfect schulte commercial let it eat !

Thanks for the video Mike. Here's a little Fendt hint that you may or may not know about. In the TMS settings (I forget where these are on the Gen6...haven't had mine for long) you can set an engine RPM range to be applied to various functions - PTO is one of them (as well as hydraulics, 3pl etc). So you set TMS to PTO mode and set the engine RPM to get you the desired PTO RPM. Then when you double click the PTO button it will start the PTO and the tractor will automatically rev up to the correct speed and then control your ground speed to maintain constant engine/PTO RPM. Good for when you are going up a hill or something and you don't have to manually adjust your ground speed to maintain engine revs. I don't know for sure, but would assume, that if the batwing puts too much load on the engine the TMS would also automatically reduce ground speed. Plus it's just cool that you engage the PTO and the tractor takes care of the rest. 🙂

Rent your self a 18 ft breaking disk will do a great job on those willow roots

And everyone wonders how those rental mowers from Flaman and COOP are destroyed in one year lol. Exhibit A hahaha

Glad to see you enjoyed using my mower there Mike, anytime you need anything when your at the North farm hit me up. You know the number haha

*Rental company* "sir, we have to put a new clutch in the mower with less then 16hrs on it..."

You can get the occasional rock thrown up against the rear window: it happened to me: the rear window shattered into a million pieces and i was lucky not to get it into my head. Suggest a heavy metal screen (say 4' x 5') mounted to the top pin hole of the three point hitch to deflect those killer rocks. (some guys use a heavy see-through piece of plastic mounted a couple inches from the back window, but those are forever filling up with dust and poor visibility).

Bet they love renting Mike Mitchell new stuff!🥳👍😂🤣😎

Hopefully you had some quality time yesterday celebrating Chapel's Birthday 🎊🎉

That mower chopping up those trees.. is the most awesome thing I've seen today..so far. 🤣👊

You certainly have no problem seeing what areas you have mowed and what areas still to do. That mower is one AWESOME pc of equipment

It looks like a lot of fun. I had fun just watching it.

Great job mowing Mike

Always something so satisfying to watch, chopping/cutting/mowing and repurposing unused, overgrown land. 👍🏼

I love some good clean up videos.

Mike you were having to much fun. Great video.

Sure cleans the field up!! Love it!! That mower is bad to the bone!!

I have returned a willow slew to grain production, and I found shredding the willows down, then get a big 10 bottom plow hooked behind your 4-wheeler and plow what the shredder leaves under. The willow pieces the shredder leaves are too long and tough,, and will plug your pro tiller. A big moldboard plow is heavy, and it's rolling coulters will cut and size all the trash then the bottoms will bury it.

Nice looking Mower Mike

The cleanup after mowing looks so much better.

that is a SWEET mower

I got a 5 ft rotory cutter for my 1 series john deere and when I got that up to speed, oooooh the sound! So hearing that starting and getting to speed sounded so nice.

In europe the pto protection tubes are prevented from turning with little chains, as they only protect your coat, shirt, arm or whatsoever to get caught then they are at standstill…

That is one mighty machine. Great video

Finally a cool job for the 724! I guess there is some work coming up for the 1167 as well! 👍

This hands down is the best video I’ve seen on this mower, not a whole lot out on it!

Awesome mower mike, that thing is a beast, hope to see the new protill in video, those are awesome, thanks for sharing 💪💪

I agree with you that mower is a Beast!

Great video Mike

They make the best mowers.

Inch by Inch you get a mile. Looking good Mike

Schulte is the best mower on the market. We run a 20’ schulte and love it.

Enjoyed your video Mike

You were having way too much fun with that mower. Haha.

Super nice. They pretty expensive too

Nice marketing vid for Schulte, the "reverse mowing" willows seals the deal. Watch out for sticks in wire harnesses on the forward pass. There should be a deal that drops a pin on your GPS map when you hit a big rock like that. Thanks for putting it out there.

Congratulations with chapel

good job

That Schulte is boss! And Saskatchewan made just a few miles from where you be mowing!

yea schulte mowers are awesome. The Farm i worked at mows highway ditches in Saskatchewan and Manitoba and every tractor has schulte mower. We run them with 150horse John Deeres and they pull smooth

That looks like fun with that bush hog. Seems like someone might have planted a treeline with all those willows in a row like that. FECON makes some great shredders for stuff like you were talking about.

There's something therapeutic about mowing and pro-tilling and discing

We call it making habitat for wheat canola and barley Mower is awesome

Soo satisfied

wonder what the blades looked like after a hard day like that

Man I would enjoy mowing up there. Even pushing the dams out.

Magnifique matériel agricole et le tracteur et le broyeur

Just Awesome

Looks like great fun choppin up all that crappy willows and weeds,maybe Father Christmas will bring you a subsoiler/rotovator thingy majig to finish everything off!

Nice video, so satisfying to be rid of all that crap. What is the soil type and depth there? Here in Ontario, hard to think of such a large area with so few rocks. Thanks for the video Mike, you really did look like you were enjoying the work.

There a reason the rm ditch mowers usually have cab guards covering the back window keep that freaking window closed when your working that thing you got family to go home to bud

I used to bush hog pipeline right of ways. Sometimes i would take before and after pics. Retired now but there is nothing better than a good tractor and bush hog.

There are few things more manly than a 15 ft busy hog.

IT go not how fast you can ride , but how good you cut it 😂😂😂

Mike: “Let’s go see what Donovan up too... Just one more pass” Process to cut the whole willow patch down. 😂

Sounds like a good idea since those ponds havent turned saline.

weren't those the engendered Canadian willows? Donovan stop pushing them dykes, poor ducks cannot get a break!!! hah

No noise inside the cab almost 0. One thing that other tractors don't have

Hey Mike do you plan on more acres up north with the drought conditions and poor land down south?

I've never been a fan of Schulte's color choice, but man, they absolutely build the toughest batwing on the market!

Morning

The little machine at the back of your tractor I should’ve designed some reflective Guards. on the top stop material collecting on the top that must be a hassle clean everything is fine

I’ve been hustling up sloughs last few months to feed my cows

Would those mini trees not help against wind erosion (at least some % of them)? I'm not sure if Mike is making bigger field or bigger desert. 🤔

I love how you pronounce "Schulte" :D

Should have the mower front mounted so that it gets a chance to cut the undergrowth before ya flatten with the tractor .

In my best Greta voice.... "how dare you..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Give a farmer a really good mulcher and he will transform from the gentle every day farmer. To the man whith the power of God!! 💪💪 Ask me how I know..😂👌

Videos now show up at 4:30am for me😂

Don't be gentle it's a rental😅, nah just kidding

Don´t think you need it for this, but I´ve seen a few of your North fields, so - have you considered flail mowers? (At least I think that´s what they´re called, with the chains instead of blades?) I find they do a pretty good job with any type of grass, but it also demolishes quite thick brush, which I´ve seen quite a bit of in the North. The chain treatment also limits sprouting from the stubs, so where a clean cut stub would have 74 heirs to take their place, you might find a dozen when it was shredded with a chain... Sorry about all the random comments, I just always want to figure out the easiest solution - which I guess is exactly why you try out all these different tools as well. Now, as for the tractor - If you get hold of a Valtra 8750, you could easily get 250hp out ouf it, and those things are built like a brick! You would not have to think twice about plowing through everything in this video at 8-10 km/h, as long as you go one way. Try not to change directions within willows or brush like this - that´s when sticks turn on you and stick up where they don´t belong. These tractors will also start on 2-3 turns in any amount of cold, and the cabin heats up really fast! You can ask the Finnish who built them if you don´t believe me ;) In fact, T-series Valtras might work just as well, but I think the 8000 series cabin is better, and the build is pretty much the same. You can also find all these tractors with an option to sit backwards and drive the whole thing the "wrong way" if your thing is to always back into things like this.

You were lucky that a rock didn't go flying at you when the mower was running

When is the combine comparison going to happen 😊

Spend that money!!

538 hrs on the fendt more than I would have thought

Nice brush mower. How big of scrub brush can it take?

Mike can you congratulate Chapel for us. It's one year now on the 8th of November. Already thanks...🎂🍰

All hail the bat wing beast … 😮

don't you worry about puncturing a tire backing up over those willow stems?

Seems like the best way to wreck a ditch mower is to RENT it to Mike!!! Hope the owner don't see him going 7 MPH and bouncing all over those rough sloughs.

There is actually one of those giant rotovators coming up i a Ritchie bros sale

I've need one for 20n years, but I can't "just go pick one up" ...maybe you can come mow some of my willows down please

Never seen anyone mow at road speed 🤣🤣🤣 actually yeah I have just picking on mike a little. I've shredded cotton stalks at 9 mph

1000 rpm will give you a cleaner cut. But 540 rpm will handle the dense material better.

We call them power harrows your rototiller on steroids. What I do is run my big Steiger with a super heavy chopping disk over everything to crush and break it then run a power harrow to mulch and till it up and finally run my high speed disk to get a good bed for seeding. In my experience disk work the best. I wouldn’t of even mowed it like you did just ran over it with my disk a couple times to crush it down.

I see a few flat tires in your near future.

If you aren’t using your not using your bushog to mow trees you aren’t bushogging 😂😂😂

Hook it up to the 9!

I give that main PTO sleave 2 days before it rips itself apart by the looks of it, Other than that, it looks like it does a fine job, lol

That’s wischek will cut all that crap up no problem.

That looks more like a brush hog than a mower. With a brush hog you should be able to chop up any brush and saplings and small trees that you would be willing to drive the tractor over.

Mike the PTO covers are not supposed the be spinning

hey Mike love the channel. just wondering is it worth the hassle for a few acres considering you farm such a large area and would there be any wildlife in these areas? not a criticism just wondering.

Geez how many acres do you gain cut all that down

Mike. Here hold my duck...

Hi Mike. if only you had time to make several videos preferably one a day

OCD People can't live it alone 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like your pto shaft is flexing or something.

My farming background knows the satisfaction of what your doing, but as a hunter it hurts a little. Seedable acres is what makes you money and that is what it is all about.
