Day 5: Part 2

[@jaelliott286]

Recently just found your channel man and you’re not boring at all. This stuff fascinate’s the hell out of me so as long as it’s not a strain on you I’d like as many vids as we can get! Thanks for the content!

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Joshua!

[@charlievaughan2840]

I absolutely love your content..... I live in SW Oklahoma and only wish we had fields like yours. Keep them coming your a joy to watch.

[@SomeTechGuy666]

Cool seeing that old Paterson elevator at 2:43.

[@leesteele9290]

Eating all the food before lunch time was always a problem for me as well , good thing Ashton prepares in advance sounds like a real smorgasbord!!! Surprised there wasn't a provision to lube those pins as much weight as they pull , would've been a true disaster if he truly lost the whole cart !!! Are there many of the old wood elevators left standing like the one where the cart came apart , always found them intriguing!!! Yeah early spring gotta go gotta go towards the end we done yet we done yet !!! Thanks much for the nice long informative videos for sure !!!

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thsnks Lee!

[@alphabetsoup7918]

We just drove through Saskatchewan for the first time ever, had to make a trip from BC to NS all because of Covid. That is a wonderful province you have there. Only just found your channel but will subscribe. I am an old fossil compared with you and envy your lifestyle, but by god you farmers work damn hard, thank you.

[@user-qn4hi]

It's so interesting how farming works in Canada. Thanks for the vlogs and taking your time to show what you do in the season.

[@maderfarmes4320]

Sounds like fun getting the pin in the cart

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha 😬

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

BAM ! Part 2....Mike I knew you couldn't resist making a part 2 . Glad you did, BC this stuff is must see . Thanks

[@mikemitchell2554]

Ha! 😂 Thanks man

[@yorkshirerich2970]

Love the video's, the scale of your operation is amazing compared to over here in the UK, 1700 acre field's, that's bigger than most farms here. Wish I had bit the bullet years ago when I nearly came over to your side of the pond for a season custom harvesting, but instead used the money to get my truck license, still regret it to this day. Keep up the good work Mike and keep the videos coming, most of all you and your crew keep safe while doing the long hours.

[@ajbecker6020]

I’m from Iowa, and all of this stuff amazes me. Jeez, the land is so flat, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Awesome, love it

[@LSWSSoftware]

I'm loving living planting with you guys.. gets better and better!

[@abrasive_ideas]

Solution for the pin issue. The problem is that as you said the cart is trying to sheer that bolt when going up and down the hills. So, cut the tube part off of the frame so that the pin is able to twist. Also drill a hole on the other end of the pin for another bolt, so the pin doesn't come out. Thanks for content and have fun farming!

[@GreenEyeNB]

It's always a miracle when you're driving through the day into the night and feel awake to sleepy-semi-awake and when you're finally shutting down the Tractor the whole bodysystem also shuts down. Love your videos and I can relate to so many things you're telling =D Keep it up!

[@marshakrebs4348]

The pressure on those pins is so great grease would definitely help but that's a lot of torque put on those pins when going up and down

[@AureFreePress]

Hey Mike. Thank you for the ride along... Glad your brother is OK..

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Hope! 🙂

[@anthonybrown9110]

Love watching your videos and seeing your farm in action you are my favorite you tube farmer. My name is anthony Brown and I'm from south Carolina and also I like that you have the largest tractors with the highest horsepower keep the videos coming

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Anthony!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing all the info on all the different monitors and equipment. Certainly a lot more complicated than what we are use to. You really need to get more sleep, hahahaha.

[@clintonboehm]

Loved the video! Nice to see the real side of farming.

[@Mthwsshootr]

It's just amazing to watch these drills work, Saskatchewan is on my bucket list for a deer hunt and to check out the farms ! Keep em coming bud !!

[@thisguy9042]

Hi Mike, greetings from Norway! I found your channel yesterday and I love it! I have boring ass 9-5 office job so for me this stuff is super exciting! Have a great season, stay safe and God bless you and your family!

[@jrvintage]

True Tractor Madness 🤪 used to love it in my contracting/custom days. Keep up the great vids and don’t change a thing👍👍

[@gavinperry7237]

I like your mention of “Recommending A Power Nap” if required because many years ago I dozed off coming down a hill and subconsciously I felt the tractor lugging down therefore resulting in me down shifting multiple times and when the tractor finally stalled I woke up and realized I was in the “Middle Of A Slough” with about 2 feet of water everywhere. To say my dad was “NOT IMPRESSED” would be an understatement. I was pulling a cultivator with a harrow drawbar behind that had diamond tooth harrows on top of spring harrows. We had to hire from the “Oil Patch” a “HEAVY DUTY DECK TRUCK” with a winch and 1” cable to pull each piece of equipment across the slough one unit at a time. I “Learnt My Lesson” the “Hard Way” when the “Tow Bill” was deducted from my wages.😢😴💰💰💰

[@matthewdowd4686]

Love that u drive the tractor w you’re shoes off! I’d do the same. Thank you for the awesome ending!! We love ya brother! Keep up the good work!

[@m.webber5118]

Loved the seeding crazy’s video!

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha thanks!

[@stefanstadelbauer3655]

Back in 2017 I worked on a farm in Ontario, it's so different then Saskatchewan. I would love to work on a farm like your's. Must be awesome to get the experience and feeling of this sized farming.

[@ashersmasher7531]

thats cool that it turns off when you get to the end of the row. I work on a farm in mn and the biggest feild is around 50 to 150. Though keep up the good work man. It's really fun to watch your videos. I hope you have a good spring and the no one gets hurt.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Asher!

[@Helmchen-bx6gr]

I would love to drive a seeder like this on those fields. Only 10-15 acre fields in germany were I live :,(

[@sebse5615]

Helmchen 7810 wir haben durchschnittlich 0,5-3 ha große Flächen da bist du mit deinen 5ha ja noch ganz gut beraten xD

[@dev2376]

Enjoying your videos all the way over here in Tasmania, Australia. Look forward to seeing more.

[@renierlemmens1170]

Hi Mike, for you pin issues: drill deep hole till you reach the center of the shaft, and drill 90 degree thru the shaft so you have grease coming out on 2 spots between pin and shaft. tap the outer end so you can put a grease nipple. That should take care of that. If you buy 2 pins and prep them so you can do this while in production and the old pins you remove do the same for the next machine. So you don't have down time in the season

[@mikemitchell2554]

Yeah that definitely sounds like a later summer/winter work but yea!

[@renierlemmens1170]

@@mikemitchell2554 I hope I don't come over as a Mr know it all smart ass . I don't have a channel so show what I do for a living. Think rebuilding 4000 to 8000Hp engines in a bathroom (because these engine rooms on mega yachts and tug boats are not designed with the mechanics in mind). I love to watch the issues you encounter and think about the solution.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Of course not... I appreciate the feedback forsure! I ll be approaching Bourgault about it later this summer hopefully

[@banffdigger]

@@mikemitchell2554 A quick fix would be to cut a piece of flat bar and weld it across the ends of the pin and it would be easy to grind off to remove the pin.

[@akdcx]

I'm pretty new here, so it's a treat to get 2 videos from you back-to-back.

Thanks Tim!

[@ChristopherB-]

Just found your channel after looking at a Farming Sim 22 trailer and now I'm hooked! Going through the videos starting with Day 1 seeding 2020 and loving it!! Hope the rest is as good as these have been, and like most people say.. this is very entertaining stuff even if it might seem repetitive to you. (And I'm from EU so it's even more different here! :D ) Bless you.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks! And welcome 🙂

I have topcon aswell found out couple of days ago you can swipe the small pages across to the big page to change over to big screen. alot more simple than pressing the small square when bouncing around.

Keepem coming bro show what a true farm peration is

[@jaredgraff9460]

I am a Farmer, and I was laughing at the seeding crazies, but it is so true. And that song is perfect for seeding.

[@tomn7087]

Mike - another great video - thks for Monitor School and your daily routine - interesting, long days.

[@thr8061]

That's a really nice monitor that comes with the seeder!

[@jurajantal8064]

Hey, thabks for the video. EDC means Electric Diesel Control. In Europe at least. It could be a lot of things but usually the engine will be cut vack from diesel, won't go as fast or as high rpms. It protects the engine. We had EDC pronlems varying from water in the fuel filter, all the way to exhaust gas reutilisation valve that was cooled by emgine coolant and engine coolant was leaking into the exhaust gases (Iveco engines fron italy). Never had an EDC sigb and the engune wouldn't start again. Engineers at MAN probably had different safety thought for their engine. Hope its fixed, let us know what it was. Have a great evening/day. Juraj fron Slovakia

[@anthonybanda8192]

Maybe a guy could put a couple of tack welds on the ends of those pins as a safety. A runaway cart would be bad on a road. Nice video stay safe and farm on my friends !

[@456Brian]

Wow you fellas have some big Big machines wow

[@phalanx3803]

IMO after sowing is done pull all them pins out and take them to a work shop that can machine out some grease-ways for some grease to be pumped to the bearing surface. Bourgault make some nice stuff but that is one big oversight large pins like that should always be greased. i hope yous tell Bourgault about this problem and recommend they redesign the pins with grease-ways in them and recall the old ones.

[@Pickhinke]

Awesome video man! I always turn my light off shining on the mirrors in the Deere’s. My biggest pet peeve you could say. Such a glare. Stay safe!

Good job. Love the raw uncut videos.

[@farmcentralohio]

1:14 I think you are correct, at least on camera that bolt holding the big pin in doesn't look straight anymore

[@ronkeking97]

I feel you, our baling operation in the summer takes so long. I sit in my tractor whole summer just baling. But ita still fun

Hi Mike, great video, really informative. You are getting much better at this game, I'm preferring the likes of you and Brians farming videos as you keep it real no theatrics like some! Take care and stay safe!

[@gavinperry7237]

I agree with your videos and Brian’s being at the top of my list. It may take awhile for Brian to catch your comments as he has already commented in one of his videos this spring that due to his workload he as fallen a bit behind on what people are posting

[@farmernige]

@@gavinperry7237 whoever does the Welker's editing now makes them look like a tractor ad. More flash effects and less content. Mike is becoming very interesting as he shows for example how an air cart works and explains the problems he gets. Gripping stuff!

[@notentered930]

i think i would mark the pins up and down with the bolt so you can watch how much they maybe turning .

[@cineminded]

The scale is just immense over there, I plowed a field of 17 acres today for comparison : ) Like the video as always , go seed them puppies!

Plain spits (not salted )work really good for mid day drowsiness!!! Great vids !!!

VERY TRUE, but “UNFORTUNATELY” makes a “HELL OF A MESS” of the cab. I know many farmers that “BAN SUNFLOWER SEEDS” from all equipment and even some don’t allow them anywhere in the main yard site.

[@carterk116]

Awesome video as always Mike

[@NVMDSTEvil]

Did you replace your bolts in those pins yet? Those are a replacement part from BG they send you for free. You drill the hole size out a bit and put bigger bolts in. Your bolt looked bent lol. I will be replacing ours tomorrow I think.

[@2009deerejohn]

Just a thought but faced with the prospect of a long ads walk at night through a field got me thinking about a way to haul a 4 wheeler on the front of the tractor or back of the air cart, hang a platform off the front weight bracket that you could just drive the machine right up on?

You guys tried running 12hr shifts seeding, two guys per machine? Less machines and running round the clock, plus drivers get a bit more rest. Works well in Aussie, place I worked on we could seed 9000ha with one 60ft rig.

[@philhicks5818]

That was a great video, I know what you mean about going crazy at the by the end of the season

[@ldtenenoff]

seems like the 2 inch pin should b 3 inches also grease fitting cause ur equipment dosent have that many hours on them,with so much heavy equipment in the fields all day seems like a mechanic with his truck and tools would stay busy, does ur large machaninery have alams if u should fall asleep in the field behind the wheel

I paused it to see his speed. 4.1 mph is 42 acres per hr. 6 mph with a 57ft rig is the same acres per hr.

[@gavinperry7237]

Mike Mitchell, Brian's Farming Videos , Soil Conditions vary so much from “Southern Corn & Been Fields”. Years ago one farmer in my area “OVERSIZED THE TRACTOR” compared to the implement and “Briefly Achieved” a “Major Speed Gain” before he “DESTROYED THE IMPLEMENT”

[@BriansFarmingVideos]

Gavin Perry definitely different methods for different areas

Damn quite the seeding operation you got going! Are you doing 7 Day shifts aswell ? Even 6 Days of 14-16 Hour shifts would be crazy, your seeding crazies vid makes a lot more sense now. I did two seasons of 12 hour night shifts, and after two weeks even that is quite exhausting ! And don't complain about the roughness of your ride in the 9RX, I drove an 8RT for a while, it got so bad the radio fell out xD Good luck with all of your seeding, stay sane :D

Mike, why not drill and tap that hitch ear for a grease fitting? Or, even easier, maybe, take the pin out and put in in a lathe and drill and tap it for a grease zerk. Just my 2 cents US.
