Fendt 1050 gets demoted 😂🤷‍♂️

While I am waiting for Ole Red to get hooked up and working, I thought I better o do some Fendting with the Degelman 40ft Protill (high speed tillage) to work down some weeds to help the drills get through them.
Travelling around 10mph takes all the Fendts power, around an inch deep. The Degelman Protill weighs 34,560lbs and puts 8500lbs on the hitch.
Note: Burning 🔥 for us isn't an option due to our crazy winds as you know, and how dry we are. Also, we value the little bit of organic matter in our fields that we have 😂.
New land to us, used to be organic land, and it has years worth of weed seeds in the bank! 😂 🤷‍♂️

Great job on explaining farming to those who may not understand it , love that 1050 fendt !!!

[@derektinkler4120]

Good video it’s nice that you take that extra mile when explaining why you’re doing what and when looking forward to the Case IH.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

Mike I really appreciate how you explain things to those that are in different areas in why your operation does certain things. It’s nice seeing different tactics used in different soils and conditions. It blows me away that the Fendt struggles so much in your operation but would be a massive addition to our area in Midwest United States. Even in our long fields but we are flat mostly here. Thanks for all these uploads I watch and thumbs up every one of them.

Hey Mike, the 1050 is a big tractor here in Germany. And for you over there it's almost to small 😅 Your videos are really great. Could you try driving the 1050 with some different settings. Set the TMS to 1550 rpm and the engine compression where you have the 4% to 6% and the joystick acceleration to 1. the engine has the most torque at 1500 rpm. When you go to 1700 rpm you lose 200 Nm of torque.

When I was in my teens in the 70's we cultivated our lands one half summer fallow (SE Alberta), one half crop. Yup, the same thing today is called organic farming. We thought we were good we weren't. We destroyed the land. The same land now is being cultivated by my cousin's sons, no till, the land has never looked better. I look at the land today and am in awe about what in can produce.

[@Grimskarr]

Always looking forward to your next video. I especially enjoyed your Chickpea video from a week ago In a future video would you talk about how you go about deciding in which sequence your crops are seeded? I'd like to hear about the factors you take into account and why. For example what role does ground temperature, speed of emergence, maturation dates, sensitivity to frost, etc. factor into your strategy and how it plays into your harvest plans. Also, no mention of the #2 surprise...😐

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha sounds good!.. Oh, it's coming.. But might not have anything to do with seeding 🤷‍♂️

[@kherter100]

I agree with your Lemken statement. I’ll take that 1050 off your hands when your done with it. Haha. Happy seeding!

[@sividproductions6591]

Good job Mike Here in Australia, we found that discing can actually preserve moisture by stopping the capillary action. It act's as a insulation to stop moisture from the subsoil being drawn to the surface where it dries out. That theory is provided that you don't get more rain that compacts the insulated surface.

[@farmcentralohio]

That theory is completely backwards lol. More like crazy actually. Whoever figured that out needs fired.

Last week I was saying how he would have an easier time with his seeding if he broke it up first wouldn’t have to have the air drills they are a pain just so many components haha and now he is doing exactly what I suggested definitely needs a quad reach so he could pull at 15 16 mph

Like’n the videos. Mike, how is the Deere holding up compared to the Case quad tracks? Ever thought of reprogramming the ECU, or is that something you guys don’t like to do?

[@joescheller6680]

he said the deere had more torque thats all you need

[@martincoufalik9101]

Fendt is builded for europe. We dont have too big fields here but plenty of them are on a hill. We do mostly 9-12 furrow plowing with it (BUT we have much heavier soil here) and it works well under those conditions. It is also much lighter than quadtrack, so it looses lot of power just by slipping..you know..Case Magnum never had this power, it ended around 460hp if im not mistaken, exactly because of this problem. Europe is other thing, since carting is mostly long distace haul and even with heavy load this thing can run like 40mph on the road, thats why we need that power on wheeled "light" tractor. Try putting tracks on it, that will solve your problems, i think.

[@corgraveland4874]

Hey Mike, great video again in a nice sequence! Like the sound / music of the Fendt, during hard work ;). Nice to hear on how you approach this new field, etc. Did you say you are going about one inch deep? One question on conserving the water in the soil in best way. Isn't this additional treatment supporting that, as the toplayer becomes loose and that reduce limit the vertical water transport to the surface? By the way are you monitoring the soil moisture one way or another. Interesting to see how the drill is working after this limited vertical 'tillage'. Many thanks! and enjoy all the big toys 👍

[@Glide114]

I def think you should def stick to the rx or quad trax for pulling those huge air drills!

Hi Mike!! Do you ever notice a yield increase wherever you run the disks ahead of the sower?

[@joshosman6309]

Set your cruise speed faster than you need then the actual travel speed will be what you want because the tractors pushing to reach your faster cruise speed. Majority of fendts do this under load.

[@mikemitchell2554]

I actually have done that yes.. But it didn't make any difference.. Just like when I was pulling the Protill, I had it set at 13 mph and it still stayed at 10mph because that's all the power it had..

[@mattrhodenhizer7911]

15 horsepower per foot minimum per manufacturer....would actually reccomend 20hp/ft

Max. rpm of the engine is 1700.
