Mike I really appreciate all you do. To show us your equipment. Most people cannot understand the size of equipment that you deal with everyday. We had a 9370 to pull 30ft harrows and 20ft rippers. And I thought that was Big equipment. Lol! You all played with these things as kids. Keep the videos coming.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha thanks for tuning in Brian 🙂

[@norWISequipment]

I still can’t believe how massive these setups are. Who ever would have thought you’d need 600hp to seed lol

[@mikemitchell2554]

I would like 800hp! Bourgault makes a 100ft drill!! 😳 😜

[@jeepxj]

@@mikemitchell2554 what runs the 100' ? 250gpm pump and 1,500hp?

Mike Mitchell What do you think of the new Case Quad-tracks? You really need to demo one.

[@jacobszymczak9323]

You're never bugging or boring us with updates Mike, always interesting to see what's going on on a farm the size you guys operate (when one of your fields is bigger than most other farming youtubers entire operation it's cool to see how farming scales up)

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Jacob!

[@sleeptyper]

The city i was born in, has water area of ~160 km^2. It's loaded with huge lakes. Also, that water area is same size as Mike's farm...

I thought I'd seen industrial level farming. Boy, was I wrong. And thank you for the extra explanation. Some of us are new and not farmers.

[@cuthrell24v22]

5000 acres!!!!!!!! the biggest field around me in North Carolina US is a 300 acre one, which is the only one i know of. Also you need to post videos every day, we all love seeing ur huge equipment and farm, awesome videos man keep up the good work. 👇 like if u agree

[@sirtango1]

I for one am fascinated with every aspect of large scale farming. I appreciate you taking the time to show us what it takes to keep the equipment going and everything running as smoothly as possible. Some friends of ours at one time owned the largest privately owned farms in the USA. They lived not too far from me, but Scott and a lot of the Salyers family headed west from Virginia. I lost touch with them when one of them was killed here in a tractor accident. He came in ever so often to check on things here and We would catch up on what had been happening on both coasts. A big thank you to all the farmers out there that keep our bellies full! Stay safe!

It never ceases to amaze me how youre surroundings and implements make those massive tractors look like teeny tiny underpowered toys, i never thought i would think of a tractor like that as underpowered, i can see now just how heavy those drills are, and like you said they do look like they would tow like a brick😂

Keep it up... this is when stuff is live... Show it! I am just mesmerized. Personally, I am a city kid (LA by way of Hamburg, Germany) but my dad was from the local farming country (dairy, hogs, chickens, eggs, grains) and the typical operation there was 30 to 60 ha...

Every day please Mike, nice to see big kit being put to work, mind blown on how much ground you have to cover! 🚜💨💨

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Mike your a hot rod man!!! I love the video and have always loved these huge drills. Since we don’t have farms that big around me I’ve never gotten to see how they really work and what it’s like and your crash course really shows how simply complex the unit is. Awesome and hats off thanks.

[@jakuder82]

I really appreciate the play by play and all the commentary .I help on a dairy farm in Wisconsin and it is nice learning from other farmers .You should have heard my comment when you were explaining your field sizes and lengths. I can not imagine a field that large. We do have some long fields here maybe half a mile maybe a little more but they are far and few between. Also like the comment on the rules of the road nice that everyone works together. Keep doing what you are doing in my opinion .

Honestly from myself. I would love daily videos. You never seem to bore me and I thoroughly enjoy all your content!

[@leesteele9290]

Love this kind of video , just the everyday run of the mill of what it takes to make your seeding operation happen !! The cart you pull for seed and fertilizer is several times the size of the tender equipment it takes to make our corn planters in the Midwest efficient in the field , huge difference in the requirements of the job !!! I mean who would of ever thought of a cherry picker on the side of the cart , impressive idea and it doesn't look out of place !!! The hydraulic requirements of that cart is incredible big load on any system on any tractor and if it's weak the cart won't work , and the cart guy points at the tractor guy , and you point at them both !! Hahah Surprised that there isn't more air intake screening on those fans ! How in hell do you stay awake with auto steer for a,1 or 2 mile long pass ???

Hey Mike, great detailed showcase and instruction video again.

5000 acres , that’s a county over here in the uk

[@ivvan497]

hahaha yea, these canadian fields are ridiculous.

[@JaredBeaucage]

But also remember, this is just in the middle of Canada, its mountains on the west coast, somewhat hilly thru Albertac Flat where this farm is at in Souther Saskatchewan, and the further east you go from him, it gets abit more hills some farm lnd and then almost back smal mountains neae the east coast. Its amazing i never knew the sheer size of Saskatchewan flat fields but its breath taking id imagine.

[@philhicks5818]

Ivan Buncic our biggest field is 65 acres 😂

[@johngreydanus2033]

That must be close to the practical limit taking into account, number of men to do the work, number of tractors and other machinery required, which translates into the amount of manhours to cover x amount of ground. Also, have to consider grain storage, distance to travel, investment vs return, many other things I don't know about for sure. Of course that can be expanded outwards, eg. a Hutterite colony but I'm thinking of a family operation, not a co-operative. Thoughts anyone?

[@troyadamswaymarfarm5224]

Here we say" go big or go home"...🇦🇺 Multi Farming Systems already holds a world seeding record for seeding 2,237 acres in 24 hours, and that was with the little guy: the 120 foot seeder. The company now sells a fully equipped 160 foot seeder, which the company calls a multi-planter, and has produced a 212 foot frame for a farmer, who tooled it up with his own hardware.

[@lstan444]

Mike, First thanks for the detailed information on all the equipment. I have very little farming experience and no experience on a huge farm that you work. My point of view is that every time you go to the field you are running a factory, that factory is only as good as it's operator/manager. Your work and future rely on technology. Please tell us more.

[@BarendvL]

Very impressive operation!

You “DESERVE FAR MORE SUBSCRIBERS”. Not certain what the “Magic Answer” is to achieve this but I like the way you call it the way it is. Your “CRAZY” way of showing things in my opinion is “COOL” and certainly “Not Scripted” which is a “Touch Of Fresh Air”. You list the “Pros & Cons” in a clear and understandable way. You show no bias to colour since with the size of your operation and vast equipment tally I “Fully Understand” that you simply need equipment to work “Properly” with “Minimal Down Time”. You deal with more acres in one day than many farmers deal with over an entire season. I “TRULY BELIEVE” you have access to so “MUCH MORE CONTENT” for “Future Videos” that your followers would “LOVE TO SEE”. Not quite certain where I heard about you but I might suggest you reach out to the “Millennium Farmer” and do a “Podcast” with Zack, his wife and Randy the Master Pipelayer which would be “HILARIOUS” and most likely boost your subscription base “Drastically”. I know when Zack was up in Regina at the “Farm Progress Show” he was blown away with the size of the farming operations in Saskatchewan. Welker Farms, Fast Ag Montana, Lawson Farms, Brian’s Farming Videos, Mike Less-Farmhand Mike, Peterson Farm Brothers may be “Fellow You-Tubers to reach out to get “Suggestions” on how to grow your subscribers. Your size of operation is “UNIQUE IN MANY WAYS” and I believe to be of “INTEREST” to viewers from around the world. I am just “GETTING INTO” watching “All Of YOUR PREVIOUS VIDEOS” and liking what I see and “EAGER AS HELL” to see “MORE” on some of the subjects that you “Briefly Touch On”. Keep up the “AWESOME WORK”!!!
