Thank you for sharing your wonderful farming life with us. You feed the world. Much respect!

Its because you have awesome content mike. No other farmer would probably take the time to record the things you do, for instance recording yourself mudding around, or getting stuck and recording yourself pulling yourself out. others would probably think its to much time.

You do a great job on all your videos. Explain everything very clearly. Very good job 👏

Triples look better anyway. Mike I always felt like they begin to float in the mud after a point on triples, huge wide footprint but when the tyres plug between each other it becomes a very wide looking land roller. The weight spread out to the side as opposed to directly under the machine makes a huge difference to the weight footprint. Just my views from driving on triples.

A quick pass with a heavy harrows a day or two ahead works very well for me. Looks like quite a project

my friend Eli is a certified John deere mechanic, where we live there's only 2 brands you see used mostly deere and case. There is a sensor that is very touchy especially after 2 years which is the sensor responsible for giving the operator a estimated "slip" when pulling thru a sticky or muddy field, that being said I'm sure the deere slips more then the fendt I'm just saying it might not be slippn as much as you think. I loved the video Mike. I hope you and your family have a great 4th of July 🎉

Two tracks seem strange to me when it comes to tractors, makes perfect sense for a bulldozer or excavator etc that you want to go STRAIGHT and have good traction and floatation, but for a tractor I can't see how much the little extra footprint can make up for the control and manoeuvrability of articulation whether its tyres or tracks, unless of course most of your fields are just up and back in straight lines :) But then again growing up in western australia just about anything with more than 300hp that isn't articulated is kind of odd to me :P farming marginal land with limited rainfall means you don't get stuck very often :D

Just rewatching old videos and i would love if you could demo the new Case 645 700 HP Stieger!! And tryin pull that big drill on the south farm this year would be interesting to see the difference between the old Case Stiegers and the new bigger one.

Awesome video thanks for sharing ❤️

Good luck seeding your 2022 crops Mike

You surprize me when you say you have more traction with the 1167. I would have thought the triples would have had more grip especially when wet.

Thank you for posting these videos Mike. I enjoy the escape it delivers!

18:41 A crescent wrench is better than a hammer. The crescent wrench is basically an adjustable hammer. I mean pretty much every tool can and will be used as a hammer. Your hammer of choice at any given time is the tool/rock/stick/.... that is closest to you.😎😁😂

Wish you could compare and contrast a CaseIH quad track in your lineup. Enjoy your channel!

Mike how's the moisture situation at the south farm now in July?

Looking forward to your critique of each tractor.

It’s surprising how maneuverable that drill is.

Hope you get some rain out of that storm system - have a good one

Thanks for the great videos you do on your channel on KZfaq keep up the great work you do Mike

I know there compared about the same on horse power but witch one seems like it handles the drill in power I know the Deere is heavier you run your little different than we do in Kentucky we don’t have them big drills and carts like you all do but we do deep ripping and pull big disk what I was talking about on running different I know they all have a power band at certain rpm and running like the way you run helps with burning fuel where we run our at wide open throttle I have tried it both ways it seems like they burn the same amount of fuel the reason I run wide open is I have all of my power right there you get to a bad spot it will pull down to it power band and wide open I can keep it running cooler I everything seems to run cooler not just the engine I guess it boils down to different strokes for different folks keep up the good work and videos thanks mike keep it coming and stay safe

Looks great, thank you for all you do.

any rain down south, in medicine hat Alberta we are going to have a good crop and more rain coming today!

Thanks for taking the time out to make these videos, always interesting

Our delta track 66500 lbs

can't wait to see those fields when harvesting time rolls around. These fields gotta look weird with all those looparounds and especially when you have to go round n round with a combine. must be exhausting compared to home just going straight for miles

Wow it’s greasy up there on that north farm!

Mike, it's time for 1050, 6 generations 😎

Thanks for the vids! Let's see you unplug that drill!😁

Will you add weight in the front end to make it heavier for more traction.

Blows my mind how much wet stuff you encounter. We figured that out years ago here in south Louisiana and switched everything to R2s. That machine on triple R2s would walk out those holes

I saw a picture of something interesting, a big JD two track they were using to tile, they had put a spacer and a tire on the back of the track. I’m sure it voids the warranty but interesting. Also saw a tracked combine that they had put duals on the tracks. So I guess it can be done if needed.

Hey Mike,here’s something that your You Tube analytics doesn’t show you…! I’m subscribed to 206 YT channels; 3 or so farming channels,3 or so logging channels,a few car crash channels,some true crime,some commentary channels, a handful of tech channels, classic car repair,film reviews,and politics,to name a few. Your channel is consistently the most watched out of all of those,and the ONLY channel where I make sure that I watch every video that comes out. Im not wanting a ❤️ from you,a job, a hug,a cookie, or wanting to get in your will or on your Christmas list. Although a complimentary patreon membership would be nice. Im sure others have much more solid Mike Mitchel bona fides than what I do,even! I forget where I was going with this. I think I was going to mention that sometimes I wish you would give just a tiny bit more insight into what’s happening on the rest of the farm! Like how are things going back at the main farm and all that. You don’t need to respond to this or change the way you do things one iota! You’re busy enough! I’m just giving you some feedback! I couldn’t enjoy your channel more! Edit: Hey,you did mention that things were very dry down south. I posted my original comment about halfway through the video!

You are right it won't matter what brand of tractor if you get into to much water and mud combo.you will have trouble this fall combining if it don't dry up.

Your video's are awesome to Mike.😉

Mike go ahead and get Ashton a red quad 620 and get it tuned up another 100 horses then you can go👍

Mike, if you need part(s) from home, does Brian ever fly them up to you in the field, depending on firmness of the ground with 402 Ag Tractor-?

the next time you call a dealer about a new tractor just say: I need a tractor with a little more peanut butter and jam. that would be a funny conversation

Which tractor is better on fuel, considering the deere rpm are higher for the needed fan speed? Have you ever shown your dugout you made in the winter? Great videos

Thank you happy Fourth of July from the states.

Bellissimo video. Bei mezzi. Bravo.👍👍👋👋💪🚜🇮🇹🔝💪

So happy that the John Deere has arrived. However, I hope you're taking a break today to celebrate Independence Day. So many families out here are thankful for all the food you supply working with the soil - our most important sustainable resource. I know one thing - despite the so-called worldwide ongoing worldwide food shortages and empty shelves, most families that I know have well stocked pantries in preparation for the celebration. And it's all because of people like you. 👍

Kicking up a little bit of dust huh Mike 🚜

Where's your quad tracks they will do better than either one especiallly on unfirm ground.

Would be great to here some acreage stats Mike 👍🏻👍🏻

That land would be good for cattle or a golf course. :)

I'm surprised you've had so many problems with the Agtron sensors. I have Agtron sensors on all my seed and fert lines for 2 years and have only had 3 or 4 faulty sensors

Mike I didn’t know you grew rice in Canada.

Hi Mike a question. It's been a long time since I've seen that fendt 516 don't you have it anymore?

Hey Mike ,I have a question?How far are you from being done with seeding on the north farm???

Hey Mike. What does the emergence look like up there now? Just wondering if it suffered with as wet as it was when you were seeding?

Curious to know the difference in def consumption between the john deeres and the new fendt?

Have you thought about putting drain tiles in for the fields you planning now

any difference with fuel consumption between the two tractors

A lot of the seed in the water will not germinate do to it will rot before .yes the 9 r will have a higher slip but it has more tread on the ground compared to a two track.

No screaming from the back 😅

Maybe seems like a job for the quad track, but I'm guessing you left that back in the dry lands.

Mike is definitely pro Fendi,

They used to recommend not pulling heavy under 4 mph, would it be better to pull 68ft and go say 5-6 mph??

Still think that drill and cart would pull better I'd the tires were turned the other way round which would cause less drag, making it easier to pull.

Keep the videos coming.

Buy a väderstad( seed hawk). You'll never want any other drill

How many total acres do you farm🤔 I really enjoy your videos👏

The outside wheel on your bar looks like it is not running straight. The one on your right when looking forward.

what tire pressures do you run with the triples

I love that big John deer, looks better on wheels than tracks, hopefully you get a crop of before the weather turns to bad.

Well Mike I have a question. Do you think you would notice the difference if you lowered the tire air pressure 1 lb each? More than 1 lb?? Hope your don't. It's the 4th of July and it looks real wet in your neighborhood. Cheers🎉

July 5 today , was wondering if u guys r getting any rain on south farm ???

Well Mike at least it's moving again.😉

Really stupid equipment question - With conditions this goopy and wet, would you be doing better with a smaller setup? in terms of drill width and weight? Like, it's awesome when it's working, but you seem to spend so much time circling around and avoiding low ground is it actually working more efficiently in terms of time per acre covered?

Reason your moving along slower then when you see farmers going 8 mph with corn planters..

I enjoy your videos. You do a fantastic job. I always look forward to seeing the next one.

Great video Mike

Planting in that too wet ground, how do you prevent the seed from rotting away?

Love your videos

Hi Mike, I’ve got a question for you. How would a quad track go in these conditions?

Hi Mike ,How would a quad track compare in these conditions ?

Can you level land ? Like they do in the midwest.

I wanna see some 1400 LSWs on that tractor

We mounted a rotary screen on the air drill fan to stop chaff from coming in

Have you ever try running R2 tires for the mud?

So is the compromise a 4 track . Tracks & articulated?

Need more weight on the front axle Mike

It’s because you have narrow tires they don’t grab is good

Why not try an articulated tractor with tracks?

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but didn't I hear you were beginning to rethink triples over tracks a year or so ago? Like maybe triples may be better than tracks after all?

Do you have your tire pressure down on the deere? Would more weight help the deere?

Is this no till drill?

Mike! Please can we see a tug of war between 4 tracks and tripples.

Nice

You growing rice or cranberries?

Mike I have a question, would it pull better with big duals, or even 1400 LSW’s

mike it sounds like the 1167 has so many advantages over the Deere..... so why run the Deere on that Canola field?

HEY Mike am i see things or is one of your transport tires wider ?????

Have you thought about seeding rice?… 😂

did you guys get replacements for all the fendt ideal combines yet.just curious because of shortage of good used combines this year.

Hmm i missed this one. How??????

mike any idea on how you think wider duals would work vs those skinny triples? yes i know you are not switching, but you still must have an idea

Who's your mechanic geez

At 10:49 is that one of those Ducks Unlimited dams right in front of you?

Oh, almost forgot, it sure gives a New meaning when you say you still have Oats to plant. I guessyour feeling your Oats?????????Lol
