I hope you guys get the case 715. It would make for great content. Everyone wants to see one really pushed.

Good luck this season!!!!!!

[@jacksonfirby4051]

Good luck seeding guys! Be starting shortly up north a bit.

[@Veskulander]

this is what we've been waiting for👍

[@craigadair128]

There is definitely a lot to know about the equipment you guys have on the farm.

[@ceconk123]

I think there are beneficial fungus and bacteria seed treatments that allow plants to take up more nutrients while also serving as a protection against harmful fungi and disease, since the plants' roots are already colonized with beneficial microorganisms that is in symbiotic relationship with the plant

[@wallyyuriy8912]

Good luck with seeding. Few started around here already. South of weyburn

hey mike can you share a video of hooking up drill seeder to air cart from scratch , if you dont already have one, thanks for sharing im really enjoying watching you and playing my farm sim lol

[@Jessewo]

Hey Mike, where did you get your fertilizer screen for the conveyor? Did you order one from bourgault or did you have one made? Is it 3/8” or 1/2”? Thanks and good luck seeding!

[@davidlogel2350]

It needs to be studied how a person can start out seeding and forget pretty much everything when it comes to the monitors and remotes but by the time your done you can do it in your sleep.

[@justaray]

Hi Mike. It may be a good idea to put Apple Air Tags on those remotes.

[@jameswilliams-rc9hj]

Bourgault should let yall demo a new seeder would be cool to see that latest vs the ones yall got.

[@shaunswiers6502]

Hey Mike, let's see some details on that Deere with big triples I noticed in the opening min or 2

[@ytfan3815]

There are previous videos of that JD 9620R, he sold it to his dad, that tractor came from the North farm. 😉

[@Knox_35]

How long has it been since all those grain bins have been full?

I'm kinda excited to see how those Case Ih 580s do with seeding this year.

Just program your A button to go into calibration mode then you don’t have to run your the Tracter to turn it. It’s very simple to set up on your monitor

[@rongrose3746]

[@verlinswarey507]

I cannot BELIEVE that it’s time for seeding already. It was just winter!

I've been waiting for this ever since last seeding video last year.

[@Tfish8080]

I wanna hear the story about seed through the MRB. Mike knows so I’m asking :)

[@sorennelson3215]

You should look into Deere EZ cal

[@brushcrawler8612]

What!? No seeding at all? This was the seeder dial-in video

[@NVMDSTEvil]

Mike use an old cell phone or tablet for xtend, much easier than running up to the tractor a bunch of times for calibration. Edit- im running a 91300 right now, you still need to calibrate an initial number if you havent run the product before. After that you can punch in the cal factor if you still trust it, then the drill will auto cal for you since nothing is every really the same year to year etc

[@sasfarmer]

That is all good if the extend feature works back by the drill. For us it is a hit and miss situation. Sometimes we swear if the tractor is not lined up right, it doesn’t work. Would be nice if Bourgeault set up an actual wifi box or whatever it is back by the controls on the drill.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha everytime I use that Xtend, it loses signal half way through 🤦🏻‍♂️😆 And regarding the 9000 series, sounds great but I do have trust issues with equipment 😆🤷🏼‍♂️

[@NVMDSTEvil]

@@mikemitchell2554 usb extension cable, move the antenna to back post of tractor cab so it has better line of sight. Yeah i agree on the trust thing lol, spent last week getting this thing figured

I doubt it, most of his stuff is paid for and he's been farming for 50+ years, pretty sure he has some tucked away. 🙂 He ll be fine 😅

[@frritter8253]

Thanks for the video Mike, lots of steps to getting ready. Are you pleased so far with the Case IH?

[@mikemitchell2554]

So far so good, tho they haven't seen much of a real test. 🙂

[@_tomasz]

Hi Mike, I have never noticed any lime application (to make the soil less acidic from NPKs) on your farm. Do you do that at all or does your NPK dosage doesn't change the soil pH that much?

[@dennislamers986]

Mike I heard dropping the scale was the way to calibrate it. I felt it every time you smacked your noodle. Please stop doing that it hurts. Safety 1st mandatory pink strap-ob bump caps .

[@pietoosterhof5901]

Seat belt mik.😉

[@GVLandwirte]

Hi Mike, As a German farmer, I'm wondering how you lime your soil? Do you increase the pH value only through the fertilizer you apply with the drills or do you apply lime to the fields yourself? I would be happy if you could help me here. Thank you very much and kind regards

[@ginocolombo9651]

Mike I have a question, do you test new seeds/fert combinaisons often or whenever the opportunity rise?

[@fredericdelage1542]

Mike magnifique vidéo et les tracteur et les semoirs xxl et les cuve sont bien équipés et bien intéressante pour sème les céréales pour 2024😂😮😅😊

[@Matevz96]

Mike maybe I don't remember correctly but I am quite sure that when you started your channel you didn't farm this much separately as you do now. I know that you all had your separate equipment but I think you were ordering seed, selling grain etc.. together, didn't you?

[@mikemitchell2554]

That's true to a degree, I didn't sell any grain but I did all the inputs for everyone. We still had our own equipment and land as normal but seeded in two teams every year. Due to the fact I am gone alot more for the north farm, I now only farm my own ground down here and I still over see the input/chem side of of things for everyone else. My work load and responsibilities haven't really changed, they just shifted to my own vs everyone's.

[@daveschwerdtfeger7842]

[@minergate4066]

What are the odds Mike would get a labelmaker and label those buttons on the cart loader remote before the season ends?

I saw your Case 580's with 71300 cart and 7950 cart, now I'm curious about the drills, ..... do they both pull your 84ft drills. 😉

[@ado1541]

Yes they do

[@ytfan3815]

[@ado1541]

@@ytfan3815 I believe Mike said that a red 580 with out pull a green 620 or about the same, he also mentioned in one video if necessary they can tune the 580s if necessary. The 580s are pulling the drills the 1167 and the green triple tractor pulled

[@ytfan3815]

@@ado1541 Tony Fast (Fast AG Montana ) tuned his 580 to 685 hp, well that's what he said, probably it is peak because the Case 580 has 638 hp max. power and the Case 620 has 682 hp peak, .... he pulls a Bourgault 100ft with 91300 cart. 😍👍
