Agrifac Condor Prt 1

** Hard to do a proper review on something you get for a short period of time, but I am thankful for how long we did get it for, and we'll make the best of it. 🙂
** Note: This is not a "Pros & Cons" due to the short time we got to spend on it. It's more like "this is cool, let's learn it and have fun together".
** Also there will be a Part 2 coming shortly, so stay tuned for that nonsense 😂 🤷‍♂️ Haha
** I am sure you guys know by now, that theses videos are quite delayed.. So if you would like to follow me around on Patreon for live and real time updates - plus exclusive videos and discord! 🙂check it out!

The equipment manufacturers need to consider making a “Mike Mitchell Edition” for each of their products. Ten feet wider, Ten mph faster, ten more speakers and an 18/10 SS coffee cup holder!

[@Nelsonstephenson7654]

Every manufacturer should have a cup holder that hold a big yeti cup and a cheap 12 oz water bottle. That’s absolutely what goes in those cup holders 95% of the time.

[@HarvesterForwarderMore]

Plus most importantly an airhorn

[@scottmiller3599]

Wow there is a lot of pro’s on this sprayer so far. 2100 gallon tank 40 mph long booms great view. But the piece of junk cup holder ruins it all lol. Great video can’t wait for the next one. Be safe and have a good one.

[@kevinirwin2036]

Mike, simply the best. Got to love how you don't hold back on any critique, as it should be. Hope your harvest bushels were what you were anticipating. Keep the videos coming.

[@jwvdst]

agrifac also makes sugerbeet harvesters. In the netherlands you see a lot of agrifac sprayers towed and self propelled.

[@aisejongsma3042]

Ja klopt!😂

Mike you are totally right about the coffee cup holder! Never can understand why they make them so short! The first bump and over it goes! Such a simple thing U would thing someone would get a clue! And the touch screen sectional shut off controls would be a nightmare when bouncing around!

Thats a nice sprayer,build in the Netherlands 👌🏼💪🏼👍🏻🤠

[@jimkline8080]

Mike Im interested in seeing the hub of a farm your size. There must be somebody making decisions ordering, mechanical opetations a place where the grand puba is operating from and paper work must be quite substantial also. I think there could be a lot to be learned in keeping that operation a float so to speak! IM not asking for specifics but the system that keeps the kios to a minimum would be very helpful.

[@jeeveswooster6922]

The hoodie is awesome Mike😎. Dang I was wondering when stuff was going to stop dropping out of the front end of that thing😅.

[@EFCasual]

Seems very practical, all the features are straight forwardly useful and look heavy duty. The air brakes and the direct boom control especially. The plumbing also looks simple enough.

[@lukasfoe6508]

Imagine trying to shut off a section on the touch screen while driving through a wash out. Your finger would slide all over the place setting the map to a whole different universe while all them secret menus you have been searching for pop up like "hoooly crap" (quoting Mike right here) 😂

[@bobsnabby2298]

Often buttons are way too small, that happens on car navi systems too. Devs wake up !

Awesome, this Agrifac Condor machine showed up Mikey!! Asked you on Agrifac before, that you might consider it, see some of my previous comments. Now it is already there, you're so FAST and ADAPTIVE buddy !😉👌👍 Enjoy the ride! Look forward to Pros and Cons, will be good. Quite nice of a review already mike, and this puppy is also very quiet. Enjoy ride, look farward to Condor Prt 2 😉👌

[@brianrutherford3229]

You need to build your own coffee cup holder that fits the factory ones and is big enough to hold a water bottle or coffee cup.maybe they will see it and want to buy it from you .

I like the sound of the engine outside idling, sounds strong. No corner posts in the way. Needs air horn! I like this sprayer also for the road speed. and large tank. This I would buy for this size of farm.

[@cluerip]

Get a rail to put under the screen. Just something to set your thumb on to steady your hand while aiming for a touch button. They use them on the SpaceX capsule touch screens, so it must work.

Right, I think I pointed that out in the next video.. I don't like how they turn from the out in off - it's the same as the Deere.. So many times I go flying over a slough in the middle out.. I would prefer toggle switches for easy access..

I feel you on the touchscreen shite, nobody needs that in a machine moving all about! We need buttons and joysticks. The entire armest looks pretty excessive to me. Is it comfortable to use in any way? It sure doesn´t look ergonomical. Cupholders are essential. So this is a deal breaker. I was going to buy one, even though I´m out of the business, but weakass cupholders are a no-go...

Hey Mike, When you hold the touch screen button for each section a bit longer, you can control every each nozzle. The older machines have two turnabele knobs to close the sections from the outside inn en the other way around. Something like that must be in this machine too. It's an option to have different section configurations where you can select from with a button. Your video's are awesome. Greetings from a Agrifac en Fendt mechanic.
