I imagine Mike used to be exactly the same, but he didn't have a camera. Just buzzing around everywhere asking himself questions, explaining tractor controls to the wind. Great stuff Mike!

We all appreciate the extra effort and huge amount of time invested to bring us and upload your videos; thank you!

I love how he asks questions to himself makes me laugh every time 😂

It’s amazing how Mike can make a 32 minute video of rock picking entertaining. Love the videos.

Only Mike could make picking up rocks so entertaining! Thanks Mike

Watching this video reminded of one of our neighbors in Wyoming. He and his brother were working for a farming family driving rock harvesters. They were working a freshly opened area with hills and valleys and he came upon what he thought was a rock pile. He got out and saw that an area about 100 square meters on top of this higher hill was covered with what looked like tree branches and lava rocks. When he looked closer at them he realized that most of it was indeed fulgurite material from lightning. Being on top of the natural hill out in the middle of nowhere (kinda like Saskatchewan) it was probably many years of lightning strikes. They ended up leaving the "pile" because it was a foot or more deep. The landowner said in the last 100 years of his family in the area these fields had never been cultivated so no telling how many eons lightning had been striking the hills around there. They collected a bunch of the stuff and took it to a local college and they didn't want them... they had plenty of those samples already. That hill became the dumping ground for rock clearing in that area. Thanks Mike!

You are the only guy I know of who needs a tractor capable of getting a speeding ticket on the highway.

Well I never knew they existed. Growing up on our family farm us kids were the rock and stump pickers 😂

The dead head joke cracked me up pretty good. I love how everything is an absolutely gong show all at once

Hilarious as always! Can't imagine driving a tractor 75 miles just to pick rocks. Here in the Ozarks where we grow rocks, we still pick them by hand. We normally get around a dump truck load per acre on most fields. That is a good time!

You could be a year behind I wouldn't care. I appreciate the extra time and effort you put in. You vids are funny interesting and informative. I totally feel your pain about crappy service.

The dead head jokes cracked me up. Currently dealing with that problem in the US now

Mike, you have the gift to make every job enjoyable not only for yourself but for everyone watching. Keep up the great vids. Greets from some Dutch farmers

It's good to hear the amount of time and effort it takes you to get us these great videos. We very much appreciate the effort, thank you. Please keep them coming.

Every time I saw a rock hit the bucket I’m like “bingo” or “goteeem” or “eat it”! 😆 I feel like you do the same thing even when the camera ain’t on lol 😆

I also like how you explain everything Mike good job

Great video, Mike. Appreciate all the time and work you put into these for our enjoyment. Happy Holidays and God Bless.

First video I see from your channel and I gotta say it's a good one. I don't know a lot about farming but I do find it's interesting. Thank you for being so informative about it all!

I know of one farmer who has his kids and wife out there picking the rocks. Just be thankful you got a machine to do it. Great video and God bless you all.

Mike is most definitely underrated in the KZfaq world 😂

thanks mike for making time to give us these great videos, enjoyed the video thanks

19:05 farming is not about profit, its all about whos land and crop looks the best from the highway so the other farmers get jelly

Beautiful country ya got there friendo! Love the videos, keep em coming!!!

Everyone driving by and seeing your Loopers on would know it's the farmer himself out there

Mike why don't you float equipment like this on a semi to the field

We really need a detailled farmtour on all this Mike!

Man u light up my day everytime u post

Thanks Mike for the videos! Appreciate them!

As someone who also farms I can't believe I just watched a rock picking video 🤷‍♂️

Liked the scenery at the 6 minute mark. Got some laughs out of this one!

In just 2 more evolutions, there will be a Drone fitted with LiDAR, that will “Map” the whole field to a 600 mm depth, then the Rock Picker will download the Map and the program will determine the most efficient tracks to pick and dump, even call for a Digger for large deep rocks. All without an operator present, they will be in an Air-conditioned office, perhaps 100s of miles away.

Only Mike can make a 75 mile tractor drive and “rock picking” interesting. LOL!!

Mick is rocking.. 😂

I grew up across the highway from where you were picking rocks!

Mike I love watching you you're hilarious especially when you're picking rocks keep up the good work brother God bless you for Christmas

My first time watching your channel. So interesting. Love the humor. See you next time.

Hi Mike... Wow.. A 75 mile tractor drive to the field... I hope you didn't forget your lunch 😳 thank you Mike for the very time consuming work you put into your videos.. WE APPRECIATE YOU❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I still remember the days when dad would send us out to the fields to go pick rocks and put them in the loader bucket. Hard work back then but now are viewed as the golden days.

I love your sense of humour your videos are so funny! 😂🤣

Getting rocks off and edging?? Buddy your just too much for me, I love it 🤣

Hi Mike I didn’t realize how much effort goes into uploading your videos. Love and appreciate them and we tune in regularly here in Ireland 🇮🇪 broadband is only marginally better over here 😁😁 keep up the good work . Kieran

Thanks for letting us ride along again

Love the videos as always! Thank you

Only you Mike could make rock picking enjoyable. Thanks.

I found the left hand tire on them rockpickers in transport mode can fire some rocks on the rear window on gravel roads

Wow, you have 3 Degelman rock pickers. I only have one, a Degelman 6000 Signature series and its amazing how much rock it has picked over the years. I have had neighbors want to rent/borrow it but it is only for my property because of the amount of rock I have to deal with. There will be rocks to pick even when I am gone.

Glad you got your rocks off, the field Mike the field...😳😂😂😂👍👍😎

It’s crazy how different the landscape is.

Running that rock picker looks like therapy!

Beautiful scenery mike 😃

It ok Mike as long as you get them out I'm happy

Good luck picking your rocks 🪨 Mike

Just gonna say , mike you left your Wally lights on 🙈, that was such a funny video . Dead head , love it 😂😂😂😂

Lol.. I pick rocks exactly the same way with commentary, it’s my favourite job on the farm.. So stress free.

I like how Mike Party when he schoots goals with each Stone out there😂hes best💁🏼‍♂️

Mike u are really having fun. No lazy moment in rock picking

You are hairlarious. Love your wordisms. Have used some of them myself.lol. Here are some my wordisms. "That thing myjig" or "That thing mybob" or "Oh for farmers sake" or "OMG". Oh my gosh". Great videos.

I really felt you had fun there

Great video Mike

I think "Professional Rock Picker" would be a pretty cool job 😅

You never want to pull the loader quick connect all the way out (completely separate). If the connections dry out they will cause a leak on reconnection and will have to be replaced. This is common for Fendt loaders. You got it right Mike! 👍🏻

Great little video

Mike comes home from work all dirty Ashtyn, “ mike why are you so dirty?” Mike, “ I’ve been out in the field getting my rocks off”

I recall that we had a "stone boat" on the farm. Just a flat timber skid that was dragged behind a tractor. Rocks were picked up by hand or rolled onto the boat, then skidded to a rock pile and off-loaded.

Far more exciting to watch rock picking then do rock picking, still not sure how I got here but I’m watching rock picking.

Get this man a silver play button 😂

Speedy Creek my home town. Love the videos Mike.

Dam I wish I had one of these when I was growing up in England the farmers used to pay us rock picking and it was definitely back bending work pitching them on to a trailer this looks like a nice job on a cold day wow that’s some a lot of road time Mike I would definitely enjoy that I like roading equipment around lol 😂 great video guys

Mike when or however you upload the new videos is cool! I know you’re busy and out in the middle of no where! Us country folk know the internet and phone service struggle!

I am so glad that I don't have any rocks on my farm. The worst thing I might encounter out in a field is something put there by someone years ago like an old fence anchor.

Mike, I've been waiting for that snow to hit for like two weeks now. The suspense is killing me!

Absolutely amazing

Hi from Down Under, I heard you mention Swift Currant, we were there In August 2015, called into the Sale barn to say hello when I told them I was a Cattle Auctioneer from Australia they fell over themselves with hospitality and showed us around, invited my wife and myself to lunch with them, gave me a cap which I still have. Also asked me to call back the next day as a guest Auctioneer, unfortunately we had a schedule to keep and could not. Also we are farmers developing new farming country and recently purchased a Degelman rock picker, it had to come from Canada. Thanks for your channel.

Gonna be honest. I never heard about Saskatchewan until I found this channel LOL

Happy Turkey Day man!!!🦃🦃💯💯 Stay Blessed!!🙏🙏🤘🤘🚜🚜🚜

Fun to watch Mike ✌️

That's crazy awesome

Good to see you "get your rocks off" hahah

You Mike I live in Ontario and when I was a kid we hand picked them I got a skid steer and that made it easier I sure do enjoy your videos dale hilpert from Ontario

Definitly the craziest farmer on YT..;-)

You like it because it reminds you of hockey you have allot of practice when you do a slap shot that’s why you can hit it like that. Love the videos and yes I was a hand rock picker in the days. Dad had me out there young to pickup small rocks and as I got bigger so did the rocks the we unloaded them by hand from a trailer.

Hi MIke! I'm sure someones mentioned Starlink. Could solve a few download issues when available in your area. Thanks for taking us along!

All it takes is the right machinery!

"Snow still inbound" lol. If only he knew what was coming!

“Sorry, I wanted to pick that by myself “. OMG😂....

Mike, that is a lot of running to upload a video so we can enjoy your work day. Thanks! It is Thanksgiving here USA.

Thanks so much for sharing all with u. Appreciate to see how farther north and massive open spaces are farmed. I was wondering if you stopped and think how cool your recordings are for your great,great grandkids will be. To see ancient farming practices how they used to do it. Also the ability to hear live how great, Greta grandpa sounded and recognize he sounds just like my brother or cousin.

Enjoy your talks & videos. Maybe you should have the picker behind the drills in spring!!!

Now i know how the Almanac works!

I gave you a like already just because you know, it’s one of your videos and that’s just what you do, but that deadhead reference was hilarious. 😂😂😂

Did you guys know every time a Canadian says “sorry” a tombit is born

Growing Stones on your farm is a very revolutionary product sometimes :=)

Mercy you guys have a lot of grain bins already I guess putting up some new ones will help not having that many bags in the field which would save you money because 0f animals that cause damage.

Yo Mike , often wonder why u don’t use a low bed transport truck to move machinery long distances rather than driving them ? I love when ask yourself and answer ur questions 😁 . The amount of times I’ve wondered about something and within seconds u ask & answer it 🤗 . Really gives a right old chuckle 😂😂👍🏻🍻

Rocks on! Rocks off! 🚜

I like these machines

Mike use ur forend loader to move the larger stones . then use ur rock picker

You need to get a “Rock Drone” with LED Lights so you can map out the rock locations at night while you are resting in your “Easy Boy Recliner” with a 🍷in your hand. 🤣😂 Not Actual drinking while driving since you are “Remotely Cruising” the fields.

Great video

Thanks Mike!!!
