1167 Cold Start 🥶

[@WelkerFarms]

Loving the snow!

[@mikemitchell2554]

How are guys sitting down there for snow? I know we don't have much south

[@bcdieselsofficial]

@@mikemitchell2554 we had a really cold Christmas, but then it heated up quickly.

[@vvldinoss1063]

Since MAN is connected to VW, and VW's (diesels) start insanely well in the cold, so you better love how it starts because in my opinion, vw diesels are the best cold starting engines.

[@dennismartin03]

That engine is very impressive in the cold

[@richwielechowski5191]

Mike, thanks for sharing your year with us. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Stay safe and warm. And please keep your cold weather in Canada. Headed to minus 20F with blizzard conditions later this week.

[@chaoszombie9995]

The MAN engine is indeed insane.. im honestly surprised how well this thing started for being in -37 degree tempratures

[@Markus314159]

Got to love those Volkswagen engines.

Magnifique vidéo et le fent 1167 à chenille et la raclese et bien équipés et la neige et le froid

[@staceyfarquharson8069]

I am from alberta just north west of Calgary and it is currently -32c with a -44 windchill. Stay warm and safe everyone and merry Christmas.

[@garethifan1034]

M A N - Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg - These trucks and their engines are as popular here in the UK/EU as Cummins would be in North America. They also build Locomotive and very Large Marine engines. Everything truck wise here is 24v for easy winter starting.

[@calebrozeboom]

Oil pan heater is what the duetz motor needs. Duetz motors are very very tight tolerance built and are specd to run extremely thin oil in normal Temps. That's why they crank so hard when that oil is cold.

[@biogaertner0815]

DEUTZ 😁

[@rongrose3746]

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy, prosperous 2023 !

[@crandonborth]

YES!!! Never mix antifreeze’s ever!!! The The older tractors require a different kind than the newer ones… if mixed, it’s a disaster inside the motor. I put the new antifreeze in an older tractor, and it turned to a gel and took the head gasket out as the water couldn’t circulate.

[@Anonymous..VQ3.5Lg35]

-17 early 2000’s fendt 712 vario started up not plugged in, deutz engine 140hp i was impressed! Same amount of cranking time as this engine

[@jchambers2586]

for all the none diesel guys out there the glow pugs are threaded into the cylinder head like sparkplugs are. when they turn on the get cherry red like the heating element on your electric range in your kitchen hence the name glow plug which causes the air in the cylinders to get hot making it easy to start in cold weather.

[@bones123321ify]

I have 3 deutz fahr in iceland, never ever a starting problem, i have a 7250 2019 that has the same engine as your fendt 724 and there has been no problem!!

[@gavinperry7237]

This morning is in the -30's across lots of Saskatchewan. Good day to stay inside with a cup of Hot Chocolate 🥶🥶

[@davidlogel2350]

Growing up on a dairy, stuff has to run. Many times when it gets below -50 we would leave stuff run over night till the cold snap was over. Coldest I’ve been in is -66C.

[@crandonborth]

I would move south. Lol

[@scottsand2317]

Ok you win!! That’s terrible 🥶 At that point you aren’t milking cows you’re making milk shakes!! 😊

[@laurisdemons]

if im correct you sayed that belarus is with bad starter in winter and i can say where i live in latvia,we hawe i a lot of belarus tractors,and where i work,we hawe 2 belarus tractors,onw from 2007,and its starts great ,-20 also for more thatn a week hawent run,and almoust like your started right away,the bigger model,1221.3 it has bigger engine,its starts little worse but its starts too,mybe 200+horse power tractors starts worse,i dont know but in range of 95to135 what we hawe its starts good,and here in latvia we hawe spoken to other who has this type of tractors ,and yea its good,of course you need a good batterys and good glow plugs and all will be good ,so its not so bad that you think

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job moving snow Mike

[@michaelstark703]

Some cold day your going to try and start that and all that will come up on the display is a middle finger😂😂😂😂😂

[@davidkimmel4216]

Thank You

[@vtwinboy]

haha I love hearing you about the deutz engine.. I'm helping here in the netherland on a farm of a colleague farmer, and not only does i have to drive a tractor with a deutz engine, the whole tractor is a deutz.. damm that's even terribeller. hahaha

[@liamrussell6290]

There is a red stick on the side of the radiator to hold the bonnet open

[@thomaslentzen4910]

Are you planing on buying a 728 with the new agco engine and trade in your 724 ?

[@TomJerry-bg5bx]

Great video Mike, keep warm I hope you and your family are all heathly

[@crandonborth]

It’s currently 6°F/-14C in Wisconsin we are expected to get down to -5°F/-20° C for night lows in a few days. That’s probably not to cold for Canadian but we don’t get that cold next to Lake Michigan like ever. Stay warm everyone.

[@sasksleding2008]

That’s shorts weather!!

[@crandonborth]

@@sasksleding2008 Lol 😆

[@GreatLakesLogger]

I grew up in west central WI, and am going back for Christmas. Looking like highs around 0*F for a few days.

[@Len_M.]

lol, it’s -32 here

[@Brian-nv1ww]

-30 here in alberta canada too just cold this morning

[@andykeyes9309]

We put drier sheets in our cabs semi and everything during winter works great. And makes everything smell good

[@shettysuhas8030]

Congratulations Mike on 190k

[@farming4g]

Couple differing types of coolant nowadays... regular prestone (green), some purple stuff (I forget what it is, Bobcat uses it), OAT coolant (yellow), special orange (Ford uses it), and I think there's a red color one too but don't remember what its properties are...NONE can be mixed together or will have a very bad day. All thanks to mostly, you guessed it, emissions!!! Some of the newer coolants do have better wear protections, but that $$$ is nuts. I miss the $5 jug of full concentrate antifreeze.

[@BRPFan]

I hear from other farmers how awful a cold starter the Duetz engines are plus endless emission problems. But that MAN engine is amazing! To bad they didn’t all have MAN engines. Must be a pain in the back side with all kinds of different engines in the Fendts,

[@AllisChalmersMN]

Mike I feel your pain. Things definitely are a challenge when it’s cold. This week we’re going to have high temperatures in the single digits fahrenheit.

[@jimbob4456]

What the hell is this Celsius thing. 🤓

[@Northern_Farmer]

34 here this morning...minus 40 and there's a chance of it getting to 50 just north of me

[@sepukupl6953]

MAN engine !! Fendt returns to MAN engines after years, Deutz engines were not a good part of Fendt tractors, despite low fuel consumption. Engine oil is also very important. 15w40 at such low temperatures is destructive for the system. Regards from Europe.

[@JPapinaho]

And the new 700 series has Finnish Sisudiesel/Agcopower engine 💪🏻

[@francescoviale4683]

Hello Mike, big fendt 1167 MT ❄️🌡️👋👋💪🇮🇹

[@edrouse9578]

Really enjoyed the talking hand.

[@jeremymullen5378]

🔥love that tractor Mike, I hear the man engine is a great setup 🔥👊🔥⚙️🔨🏍🚜

[@halwilliams1682]

If AGCO owns both Fendt and AGCO Power (Sisu) why are they putting Deutz engines in a Fendt?

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike

[@rustyshank912]

Had one of my tractors at a funeral yesterday -11C time to drive it home wouldn't start. Bring over the truck and jumper cables and fired off after 4 seconds of cranking those single big tractor batteries just can't provide enough power to sling a diesel engine over in the cold fast enough to start. I here the new 7 series fendt has a 7.5l agco engine wonder if that is any better.

[@mackXDM]

We forgot a Bobcat in a field for 2 months, I dropped the headliner and found 7 of your favorite animals in it Mike! Lol. They had the entire front between the speakers full of soybeans (T770). Spent an entire day stripping the cab, washing everything down with citral to kill the smell, and waiting for a new headliner to put it back together.

[@robertfranssen]

Lol, it warmed up to - 11 . Haha.

[@johnpatton3656]

Put a few shavings of Irish spring soap in a few open top containers in the cab and that should keep the mice out.

[@ahabeger]

Always loaded piles of snow like that into a manure spreader to dispose of them. Oil pan heater on the 724!

[@farmboy5622]

How disrespectful to the 1167,.....you didn't even take your shoes off before entering the cab, dragging snow and dirt right in!!! (Ha!Ha!)

[@stianby]

I’ve had my 724 since 2018 and a 724 SCR for 5 years before that and never had issues with cold starts. Not one time. I have changed two DEF pumps on the S4 but other than that no issues.

[@mikemitchell2554]

🤔 Very interesting, what was the coldest out side temps the tractor sat out in?

[@stianby]

@@mikemitchell2554 never had below minus 23 C. But here in Norway I ordered something listed as the winterpackage on the 700s. Included a heating element on the DEF system. And a webasto, and the engine warmer. Wich I never used though. But I’m sure tractors sold in North America have the winterpackage as well.

[@stianby]

@@mikemitchell2554 Thank you for epic and very informative videos. Our largest field is 43 acres 😂

[@leussinkfarms]

I also have a 724 s4 and have never had cold start or def issues, and started it as low as -22 C in the cold. I'm always wondering why Mike has so many issues with his. And I'm from Canada Alberta so I know all about the cold. Most people I talk to have only good to say about Deutz engines cold starting capabilities.

[@stianby]

@@leussinkfarms I have the same experience. We’ve had Deutz engines on this farm since the 70s although the air cooled engines started if you looked at them funny 😄 that said Deutz engines are known for their excellent cold weather starting capabilities. At least here in Norway.

[@jdeere8850]

Tracked Fendts are US built. Challengers with MAN or Sisu engines.👌

[@chucklesx]

The new 700 series gen 7's are going away from the deutz engines, they are being replaced with new Agco built engines from what I have seen.

[@meeg1r]

they'll use the new core75 engine yes

[@dgkfnkr448]

Sissy diesel

[@plowboy7700]

We are supposed to get down to -26F in a couple days. Also have winds 30mph plus. That doesn't happen very often here.

[@andban92]

Mike i have an idea: Take a cat with you into Ernie's cab.

[@sasfarmer]

Heard that mint scented repellants work fairly good for keeping mice away.

[@Ole_CornPop]

Tea bags work well for some reason too.

[@gavinperry7237]

Your equipment at the north farm can't wait for the arrival of power at the north farm

[@TheMrRainey]

Looking cold!

[@thomaspavelko9412]

I've been in that kind of cold before you can have it

[@janrt1735]

I like saying 1167!!!

[@TroyboyTheiste]

Mike that would be quite the set up if you were able to get a front blade and use that back blade.

[@martynasvizbaras1180]

wait wait wait, did i hear belarus tractor getting mentioned at 3:24 😂 all eastern europeans cheering 😂

[@countk1]

Performing cold start tests as a job, this is quite impressive if it has been in the cold that long and after such a low initial temperature. Almost hard to believe imho. Too any times, I have seen failing batteries, paraffinated fuel lines and filters after such temperature soaks. Other failures are underperforming starter engines due to power, power line size,.... Smart to not start it up below let's say -20°C as your hydraulic pump(s) will suffer and might get damaged. I wouldn't have driven away that soon

[@andrewcrawford5601]

Hey Mike u be safe and always be careful doing what u do each and every day buddy and hope u have a good Christmas

[@recklessbehaviour01]

Morning

[@petermolnar8667]

Belarus engines have glow plugs at least (maybe not all of them, but the head is compatible and not very expensive) 😁

[@Chiellus11]

Mike's leveling up !

Man company is over 100 years old. I would hope they have engine building down well.

[@Fishinandfarmin_tv]

So do you think that all deutz engines are bad? (New generation) because i have a deutz allis 6260 28-29 year old tractor and it starts just fine winter or not

[@bluesman97]

Mike so what you're saying is, Mike has some good tasting deer.. Time to acquire a taste for deer.

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Mike, Howdy ya'll, Hey Mike, I thought you said you had to send that plow back to the dealer, because you were only demoing it for a couple weeks ?? I remember you saying that you had to get it cleaned up, because you had to return it.. Oh and by the way, it's still a sign of insanity, when you refer to yourself in the third person 🤣 laughing with you my Friend, not at you, Stay safe, Stay Calm and Farm on my Friends, Peace and Very Merry Christmas ya'll !!

[@julianh7025]

I think you should try the NEW 724/728 series they have agco engines now no more deutz shit

[@FourCloverDairy]

What you need is a big snowblower

[@pullimgsm]

Degelman angle front blade.

[@zfilmmaker]

Fendt’s always start in the cold. I’ve never plug any in, in fact the last two 700 gen 6’s I bought didn’t have cold start packages which worried me but dealer service said it’s not necessary.

[@davidlogel2350]

See mikes previous videos to see that fendts don’t always start in cold.

[@etrain757]

A guy around me with fendts has lots of trouble with them in the cold. Maybe when you go down where it’s warm in like Ohio it’s not bad, but in Canada they aren’t great

[@zfilmmaker]

@@etrain757 I'm east coast USA and yesterday morning it was 6 degrees Fahrenheit and my Fendt 724 (not plugged in) started on the first try. So did my 828, two 939 and 942 which I warmed just to make sure the batteries hadn't gone down. My other Fendt's sit in a heated building. The 724 worked half the day feeding cattle and it was flawless in the extreme cold we have here now.

[@kubiedubie]

Do you have to adjust track tension at all with the large temperature swings you guys deal with?

[@thomas69828]

Hey Mike why are you not bulding an very very big machinehouse to your alle traktors and harvester

[@tonyserbousek8367]

Ernie would have not given you half as much trouble All Hail Ernie!

[@Doubie.]

You can add different antifreeze if you need to so long as your adding a chemically compatible antifreeze to the one in it already

[@BruceBergman]

Read the label and compare the base ingredients - if the chemicals match ethylene Glycol is Ethylene Glycol. The trace ingredients should not matter. Green or Orange dye in the coolant shouldn't matter, other than looking strange in the tank. And a tipoff for a warranty claim denial.

[@BruceBergman]

If you have content to put out, Doo Eet. 😉🌩️

[@kentonleriger8288]

Get a snow pusher for the 724

[@andykeyes9309]

Why is it you guys don't build tool sheds to store equipment in during off season at either farm I notice case sprayer sitting out up north.

[@videotryouts1]

You should set up a night cam for the deer.

[@popobibi7896]

Viking❤️

[@Mr.Simone222]

I never leave machinery out in the freezing cold

[@nikphoenix]

Why no snow blower for up north yet? I remember you showing of the unit your brother has at the south farm a couple years ago.

[@jean-philippeparron4980]

Case IH Top

[@timothybailey7118]

You could probably buy a solid used John Deere wheel loader cheaper than a plow attachment for the Fendt. Then you’d have a lifting machine for other tasks at the N farm.

[@mikemitchell2554]

That was thought about or a skidsteer

but i wanet too see if it would start on -30 C cuz on -15 should run any tractor

[@bartloon2421]

Did you make a mount for the joystick of the Blade?

[@joneskaasman]

Its just the starter of the nee 700 series

[@joneskaasman]

Not the engine

[@paulsmith4320]

Seeings how I'm spending your money, get yourself an old pay-loader and a snow pusher. Or at least a pusher for the 724.

[@gavinperry7237]

Your Seacan~Shop is just a little smaller than the new shops that Fast Ag Montana & Brian's Farming Videos are in the process of building. 😂🤣 Once completed Tony plans on storing there 100' air seeder inside which will be nice to be out of the weather to do maintenance work.

[@mikemitchell2554]

😄 It's just tinny bit smaller, but not by much 🤣... Yeah, they are building some very nice shops, it's on the bucket list one day

[@cashking8056]

why not build snow walls in the felid so you can capture the snow melt in your dug out

How many bushel are your large bins on the stands up at the north farm?

[@samlitty1090]

Is Donavan from the south farm or did you hire him up north?

[@PaulvanNieuwenhuyzen]

Are these normal temp for the time of the year Mike? Or is it very cold?

[@etrain757]

Maybe it’s a tiny bit early for -47 with windchill but really it’s quite standard for this time of the year

[@Gridroadgarage]

What about the old Massey

[@MrTonyharrell]

My question is, why haven’t you had Chappell on the ice rink in a little sled?

[@flatheadV8]

Mike, can I ask a bit of a personal question. When you are at the north farm, do you have a house or do you stay with your wife's folks. Are you going to move north permanently once you have the farm set up to your satisfaction? Hope Santa is good to you.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Ashtyn had a place before I met her and no, zero intentions of moving there permanently. The north farm is like a new born and currently requires alot of attention vs the south farm. Great question tho 🙂

[@verlinswarey507]

Thanks for asking that! I’ve wondered about all that for a long time.
