Did I read the Canadian government pays farmers crop failure compensation for failed crops due to extreme weather ? I’ve heard of Uk farmers having an insurance policy in this country but not many pay the premiums for it. Some have it for fire damage next to urban areas. Canola wind damage was taken by some.

You'll have to make your own planting tractor out of a Cat 797 to pull the hills though if you leave the back on for grain hauling at harvest you might need bigger unload auger extensions on the combines... I hear you about the cup holders our loader has none. Decided to bite the bullet and get a couple but my half a litre coffee cups won't fit in 😭

[@keithlawlor9993]

The Allis-Chalmers engine were like that , as your rpm dropped the torque went up and it would pull you through tough spots without shifting.

[@tynewydd100]

Torque is inversely proportional to horse power, I was taught.

[@KALI1080]

That is called torque rise.

[@fowletm1992]

Older naturally aspirated deisels were Ike that But newer turbo deisels generally arnt A fair bit of thier power comes from the forced induction so once the revs drops the turbo looses speed and you loose your air and the fuel gets cut

[@jmfarms3555]

I farm one 1/4 of land that just a big hill. Average slope is just under 25% with the steepest part at about 55% slope. Basically you head up for 1/4 mile and then back down. Turn around and do it again.

[@davehaugsten9427]

I was just about to ask you what was the point of no return when it comes to slip when you started up that hill and it answered my question. I'm amazed that you can have 50% slip and still maintain traction. My memory is from before the days when you had all the fancy gauges and we just hung in there until the tractor lost it and hoped we could make a turn and go back down.

[@fowletm1992]

We've got a bit hill we have to drive the trucks up for filling the seeders The 2 Volvo's made it up fine at full send The mitsi got 3/4 the way up and spun out So I clutches in and braked, turns it it no longer has brakes so I had to do some skilful reveseing for life and death By the time I got to the bottom of the hill I was doing 70kph, the laneway is only 20m wide with trees on each side Was an intresting experience

[@Matt___B]

tbf, the 1167 is pulling its air from the green grill on top of the hood, not the front. so realistically speaking it should be better then 1050, then again 0% so far in the season, seems too good. what fendt need to do is get the self claining airfilter in there. and fendtOne cab, then it'd be one awesome machine eagerly waiting for 1100MT Gen 2 😉 P.S. what phonecall were u waiting for ;) sprayers showed up?

[@trevorsg80]

The fendt does have a self cleaning air filter. Or at least that is an option to order. Don't know if it standard.

@@trevorsg80 not this fendt tho. so far the self cleaning is only available on the 900 & 1000 series

@@Matt___B you're correct. I was assuming the 1100 would have it like the 1000 or 9000. Hmmm.

[@Matt___B]

@@trevorsg80 makes sense tho. the 1100MT was announced like a year before the 1000 Gen 3, and 900 Gen 7 (both with the airfilter came out) im guessing the full implementation wasnt ready yet at the time of the 1100MT's announcement. im expecting the 1100MT to receive this update relativly soon, along with the new cab. it 'only' took fendt 1y to do exactly that on the 1000 series. and considering fendt track record in terms of update / new releases. if i had to guess,the 1100MT Gen 2 is maybe 1.5y away, at worst. Think mike will regret jumping on the 1100MT this quick ;)

[@djavlerokken]

REMEMBER that more weight on the tractor is only beneficial for maybe 3% maybe 0.5% (?) Of the time ... the rest of the time it is an extra cost.

[@2007dalin]

more weight is a cost savings as soon as you are pulling anything.. there is always some slip

Hey Mike, I wondering how did you know where to drive before auto steer? Did the drills have markers? We’re they as wide? Was it easier to see where you had already drilled? Have a great year.

[@samuelsutton8299]

Very scientific method we use for fencelines, going round scrub or when the auto steer shits itself is a bit of masking tape on the windscreen that when you look through the windscreen lines up with the edge of machine. You also get a good feel for where the end of your machine is when you spend 16 hours a day on it

[@gavinperry7237]

You mentioned plans to plant mustard in the field with the very steep hills . Is that a new type of crop in your field rotation possibly due to the residual fertilizer left in the ground from last year ?

[@Canofme22]

Ever tried a 4 track versatile apparently they can get a lot more weight onto them compared to a John Deere or case

[@ytfan3815]

What a beautiful kid, he looks awesome. 👶 😉 Problem in a few years with this tractor is the tracks I think, too much slip when they get worn out, gone all that torque and hp. Now they are new, but what when they are 50 - 75 %, can you do the same hills like you do in this video ?

[@beaviccoon470]

There's still room for him to add some extra weight so that may help reduce the slippage.

[@ytfan3815]

@@beaviccoon470 He has the max on extra weight he can buy at Fendt, even a bit more, he added 20,000+ lbs on the standard 41,500 lbs tractor weight, total 62000 lbs, normal extra weight up to 18,000 lbs. He said in the [ New tractor reveal ] video he can add an extra 3,000 lbs, maybe a 3,300 kg Fendt 1050 front weight instead of the standard 2,000 kg front ballast or some extra rear weights. At the end you need also some extra pony's to pull that extra weight.

Now if fendt would make a quad tracked version of this tractor then it might give the others a bit of a worry. Other then the hills it seems to do very well working at the 1400rpm mark. I know the midrows are up but still itll pull it just as good with them down. Was impressed with the test you did last year with it.

How's the weight on that puppy? 700 sounds awesome. Though, I have had tractors on our operation where it claimed it had 260hp (with the electronic boost thing 310hp) but I couldn't see any difference to the older version of that tractor with 210hp. When I did my investigation on why I came up with the conclusion that front wheel assist took darn hell too much of power just to run it. I'm sorry that I can't remember the models on those two John Deere tractors we have. In our fleet we have around 6 John Deere tractors all pretty much similar though some one year newer and updated. Can't remember everything I guess
