Fendt Ideal in Canola part 1

[@joneikanas6811]

Hey Mike, im from north Dakota,I run a tire service truck, doing tractor tires and semis. I know how to do all kinds of tires, but never really understood the farming side, watching ur videos has enlighten me and gave me more knowledge to do my job better, thank u

[@GICK117]

Dude, always enjoyable to hear your informative summation of machinery. And your nuts, so I relate with that as well.

[@mikemitchell2554]

😂😂😂🤷‍♂️ That's funny! Well, either way.. I am glad to help out! You guys awesome!

[@gavinperry7237]

I “LOVE” how you are “Not Bias” to any particular colour as “No Machine” is perfect in every way. The “AWESOME SERVICE” you get from Fendt plus the local dealership will certainly be a “PAYOFF” to everyone involved as a “HAPPY CUSTOMER” always returns to spend more money on “Newer Equipment”. “Constructive Criticism” if taken seriously by manufacturer and dealership to make improvements on issues will certainly lead to “New Customers” in the future. A company doesn’t have to be the “BIGGEST TO BE THE BEST” but rather if they sell a “Decent Product” with “GREAT AFTER SALES SERVICE” the financial gain will be so much better for everyone involved. Keep the “AWESOME VIDEOS” coming.

[@chadshafer8095]

Great Video, You are one of my Favorite Utubers. Love your Fendt Combines & Tractors.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Chad! Again, I appreciate that! 🙂

[@hoss1905]

Hey Mike Great information I remember the Massy 410 510 came out with the new return cylinder with kind of flexible weights that were always plugged later massy updated the the return on the 750 /60 with a small rotor type cylinder with rub bars that worked well love your videos I’m a retired farmer

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks Hoss!

Hi Mike thank you for sharing this in-depth analysis of the Ideal combine, kt is good to get the hands-on experience of this impressive machine, take care and have a wonderful, greetings from Queensland Australian.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Hey, no problem! Thnakyou for taking the interest in my channel and video 🙂

[@jean-jacquesmalherbe2858]

Thanks for the walk around Mike! Great video 👍

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks good sir! Much appreciated!

[@shadedude6games]

I dont miss plugging combines back when we ran gleaners it was a constant. Our Case combines now have a "deslugging mode" havent had to pluck canola out of concaves in three years.

[@nathankennedy4263]

Yup deslug mode is fun on tough canola swaths lol only once we had to take the concaves off and yank straw out by hand don’t ask how lol

[@jacwilson2578]

Hi Mike greetings from Ireland love your vids! Many farms where I come from are smaller than your smallest field! lol

[@jonathanwise1479]

Keep it up Mike ! That voice from the cab is absolutely great ! Especially from the cab of ( my future combine) !

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks for watching Johnathan!

[@7rixee]

Great equipment in some damn nice scenery. If i ever won the lottery, i'll drop whatever i'm doing n work with y'all.

[@mikemitchell2554]

That's cool man, I appreciate that! Thanks!

[@-gravestonepros]

Mike , when your done farming you should consider standup comedy, you're hilarious!

[@corgraveland4874]

Hi Mike. Awesome video again. HMe too, just recently discovered your chanel. Have been checking a lot last couple of days, admit series of great vids with lots of interesting stuff! Like the Fendt engineering details. Agree, there is lots of quick and articulated “Valuable Info” included in your videos. It allows to get “More Educated” as subscriber. Appreciate!!

[@ronkeking97]

I asked this before. But a really detailed equipment tour i would really like when you got time. Btw our new 828 are running great, even my dad ordered one

[@mikemitchell2554]

Awesome! I would like an 828 duelled all around with a loader... What's your definition of a "detailed equipment tour"?

[@ronkeking97]

Mike Mitchell well all the equipment and so on. I really did not feel like we got to see everything ypo got last time

[@leszeksiminski6898]

The concaves got an upgrade, much more heavy duty from 2020.

[@JackFrost-bn2ry]

Sounds like you have alot of experience in plugging

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Mike

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks!

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Awesome piece of kit!!that tow pin is unreal! 👍👌

[@mikemitchell2554]

It might have only been a CAT 4 actually now that I think about it, it that's still big for a combine pull pin. I should have corrected that in the video but it was too late.

[@mikeemike7597]

Great vid mike crazey to see all the range of crops and the long season u have here in the U.K. weather is normally crap and we have to dodge the rain !! Nice to see agco on the ball and going to make improvements esp the guy with the gopros hopefully sort ur chopper out 👍

[@mikemitchell2554]

With the GoPros he had a theory, but I got some really good video of it last night with my phone! It's awesome and it's most definitely the rotors not the chopper.

[@mikeemike7597]

Tbf ago will sort it 👍looks a monster wen she’s goin makes my 6 straw walker look a bit silly😂

[@makingithappen9722]

There are always some new designs on new machines and a combination is always dusty. There are cordless leaf blowers, which are good at blowing away dust.

[@mikemitchell2554]

The combines do have air on them too to help with that 🙂

[@makingithappen9722]

@@mikemitchell2554 That is good.

[@michaelarbour3770]

Use your GPS on phone to determine combine speed..

[@gavinperry7237]

The “More Info” you include with your videos the “More Educated” your subscribers become. “GREAT WORK” !! This all leads to “More Subscribers”. Your numbers have seen a “Nice Increase” as you do more videos and the word spreads about your “AWESOME” channel. From “Day One” I always wondered why some of your videos had a “Time Restriction”. If I understand it correctly it is a “Video Software Issue. With your “BUSY SCHEDULE” I now understand why you don’t use other “EDITING SOFTWARE” where you have to sit in front of a computer in order to make up a “FINISHED PRODUCT”. Other “You Tubers” have either additional help with the editing or spend a “Ton Of Time” sitting in front of a computer which I feel is “NOT PRACTICAL” for your “LARGE SCALE OPERATION”. I would sooner see more “Mid Length Videos” that are “PACKED WITH CLEAR AND DETAILED INFO” then some video that is a “Little Longer, A Little More Polished” but “DOES NOT” have the “AWESOME CONTENT” that your’s contain. “KEEP UP THE FANTASTIC WORK”. Your “HUMOUR” is a “Ray Of Sunshine” when “EVERYONE” needs a “Little Pick Me Up”. Thanks Again

[@scruffy6151]

Agree 100%

[@jackgerberuae]

Cool and informative video. Thanks. Reminds me of a photo copier though!

[@mikemitchell2554]

Photo copier? Haha 😂

[@stirv6462]

It’s really nice to see some details instead of everyone else’s drone footage. It’d be nice if manufacturers actually put out some walk throughs on what drives what, crop change over just to give new buyers a chance to understand what it’d be like on a day to day basis. The salesmen at most shows don’t really know anything. Do they have a two speed hydro like the Deere and does the shift to warp two break any neck bones? Feeder house speed shiftable like the Deere?

[@mikemitchell2554]

They do have a second gear, and you pretty much have to stop to shift it. It's a smooth shift. Down side is gear 1 =9.5mph top speed.. Feeder, 🤔 that's a good question.. I don't think so And thanks for the feed back!

[@novocaine1986]

Dealer just lent me one of their 2017 HB AF240s for combine 2 and so far I'm not very impressed in flax. My 45' FD75 was cutting around 4 mph while I was struggling along at around 1.8mph. A combination of straw hanging up behind the cutting surface of the guard and the gap from knife to canvas is it leading to extremely poor feeding. I was hoping I would like it, but so far I'm very thankful it isn't mine.

[@mikemitchell2554]

On the transition plate? Yeah we had issues with thag too5in short green crop.. And you are right, it's very annoying and frustrating. Fortunately, we didn't have alot of situations like that, but I can understand you frustration. I feel that long transition plate you either love or hate it. You ll love in lentils (field peas I don't know) and hate it flax.. Haha I could see that 😬 Could you adjust your reel to brush that plate? Also, that's assuming the 2017 models are the same as the 2019s 🤷‍♂️

[@novocaine1986]

@@mikemitchell2554 The pickup reels on this one have had a nice little "haircut" making adjusting the fingers close enough to the transition difficult. I replaced the sections this weekend so I think we will find out tomorrow if brand new sections make a new header out of this. This one is supposed to have all the updates done but I don't know what else they would have changed on these.

[@pardaan5655]

i love farming . i did when i was in india . itz ma pleasure i found u on youtube. i enjoying your videos good luck bruh🙏

[@BigTader]

Mike will be demoing the new John Deere X9 combine will be interesting seeing the X9 in the field.

[@mikemitchell2554]

I hope so!

[@jamieshields9521]

Very interesting vid👍I do like CaseIH rotor/concave covers they are plastic, quick n easy take off. My only worry is the rotor paddles at back been bent, I hope paddles don’t break off n fall into chopper. Maybe paddles should be rubber at back? Header with wiring pipe needs angle flap to ride over objects. Liking updates on Fendt progress👍didn’t realise plastic pan, long term issue?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Those last 2 rows of teeth are causing me issues up there in the plugging.. I /with Agco of course and figured it out! Haha I took video of it So they won't be there soon is where I am going with this story 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️😂 The plastic pans? I don't know.. They are stick tho 🤷‍♂️

Envious of the technology yet farming and running a combine is the same as it was 25 years ago in England. Only then having a cab was innovative 😃

[@williamdornan6285]

Yes, I preferred those old combines if for no other reason than they didn't have any electronics. Me and electronics just don't get on. Respects to you Mike..

[@43ppp]

Hi Mike. Awesome video. Thanks. Do you find the rod crop dividers work good in lodged canola. We use the same fullline dealership. Honeybee and gleaner. Awesome. Thinking going fendt someday. What's your take on that?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Hey Paul, thanks for the support for my videos, I appreciate that! 🙂. As far as the crop dividers go, you mean the current ones we had on, right? In which case no, we didn't have any issues with them - in lodged or standing crops. They are a great combine when working, and as you may have heard we had quite abit of trouble with them from majors to sensors. Now in saying that, Fendt will be upgrading and replacing theses issues. Stay tuned for more information on that and if you want to give me a call about it, that works too. 🙂

[@hangriesllc3772]

How much more trash do you think goes through with canola that soybeans? Is the canola stem just like a wheat stem?

[@mikemitchell2554]

I have grown soybeans twice haha.. But alot more product goes through with canola vs our soybeans.. Like 5 times or more

[@vanilakung7563]

You should take a look at Claas combines, here in Sweden were i live it´s prob the most common combine, the farm that i help summer times just ordered a 670

Concave looks like crap. My combine is 10 years old and looks as good as the day it was new. Needs allot of beefing up. At least it isn’t on fire...

[@olenilsen4660]

This "Fendt" looks too much like a Samppo to me. The rethrasher should always go all the way forward to the elevator - or what you call it. Refused grain should hit the thresher once over. Did this make any more sense? This was my worst concern when I had one, and it was way smaller than yours. I would hope such basic fuckups were fixed on the large ones, but I guess not.... BTW: Did you just get in the fucking combine with your shoes on?!!! Are you NUTS!!!!
