Nice to see some Fendt Tractors on the other side of the world, they are build here in our small city in germany with a population of only 18 k, but are shipped worldwide. :) Love to see this in action

I use to work on the ships that hauled them out of Bremerhaven to ports around the globe.

Fell down the KZbin rabbit hole and here I am, a Wisconsin (USA) guy watching farm videos. I’ve been following other farmers on KZbin and it suggested your videos. I enjoy watching all of you guys work and the love you have for farming. Sadly, our family sold their farm way back in the 1950’s. Since I’m 38, I never had the chance to enjoy said farm. So, I get to “hang” with you guys. Watch out for Welker Farms (Montana) to the south of you (another KZbin channel I follow.). Great group of guys down there in the ol’ USA. I thought their farm was big, but yours has to be massive. Again, thanks for letting someone like me follow the life of a farmer. I’m adding you guys to the list of farmers to follow: Welker Farms 10th Generation Dairyman And you guys.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha thanks good sir 🙂

[@FoodwaysDistribution]

Oh crap, political trollbots have been released. Hey bot 71113, this guy is not in the US :P) Edit:about channel description that i have copy pasted ===> Description:Trump2020

[@jak71113]

Foodways Distribution : Your comment makes zero sense. At no point did I say anything political in my comment. I am also well aware that the KZbinr lives in Canada, just north of Montana. If you are implying that I made a political comment, solely by my profile picture, you have problems.

[@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

[@stuartleis9079]

When starting a grain bag, we used to use a couple 2 x 4 pieces of lumber each about 5 or 6 ' long with one on either side of the bag to pinch it shut. We'd nail the boards together and that would sufficiently close off the ends of the bags to seal them. Tough grain would preserve in a bag cuz of lack of air. The worst enemy of the bags were ravens. They'd sit on the bag and their claws would make holes that rain would get in and spoil some grain. We were always watching and taping the holes shut with a special grain bag tape. There's nothing like bins, lots of bins but if you're short of bin space the bags are a very good option.

[@woolfordfarms2961]

As a fellow farmer it's very nice how you explain stuff

[@wesleylemayian]

This channel is just awesome. The way you explain everything in detail and in a very simple way is so refreshing Mike. Wish you the best for the rest of the harvest from Kenya

Hello I love your videos, that AKRON is manufactured in my country ARGENTINA!!!. I am from Córdoba-Argentina, where it is manufactured and exported, I loved seeing that they are used, I am also a farmer we make corn, soybeans and wheat, a Greeting from Argentina

[@nicolasgagliardi4490]

Here in Argentina it is the way most used by farmers to store their grains

[@gofast3209]

Discover your channel. Great videos. I know nothing bout farming what so ever. I like how you explain stuff.

[@airriflepestcontrol2006]

Probably the cleanest farmers hand I ever seen 😂

[@johnrustad8540]

Mike we bring out a couple 2 by 4s and screw them together on the end of the bag to seal it up. That way when extracting out of the bag you can suck the extractor right up the the 2 by 4 and almost have to do no shoveling. We mostly use it for starting the bag but yiu can also close the bag with ut

[@tomasgarello2570]

hold the Argentine industry !! proud to see Akron machines abroad

[@tisr34p3r9]

We bag some of our grain here in Nebraska! We use 2x4 and long screws, screw them together then roll the bag a couple times. But make sure the beginning of the bag is triangled shaped

Another tip Mike. Don't shoot at coyotes laying on top of bag. Our neighbour did that one year and was 6 inches to low and split the bag wide open and canola all over the place. I think I learned new words that day.

Great video again Mike, nice and interesting as always. Every year a farmer and the people around try to learn and try to improve things, like where to best put the bag and what exact procedure to follow in order in filling it and what product to best put in there. Explained in very nice detail. Thnx as always, easy chickpeasy 👍👌😉

[@wilhelmushoffmann8054]

I 'd like to see them getting the peasout of them bags again!

[@tractorfixrable]

Great video’s. You are real and don’t have the fancy editing. My favourite part is you don’t have annoying family members (Daddy) in your videos.

[@timwieler2216]

Try engaging the diffs on the bagger tractor while filling. It works pretty good to keep the bag straight. It gives you more time to get back and forth from the grain cart to the bagger.

[@johnc8112]

Great video Mike keep up the fantastic work you do.

[@Andrew-jt3ei]

Bagging without someone steering is always a pain. Turning the diff lock on is supposed to help, but not perfect. Unfortunately auto steer doesn't work in neutral.

[@xSCHEF]

[@JulianKgr]

Why don't you set a GPS line for the bagging Fendt? That way you got a straight bag and don't need someone to steer the tractor.

[@stirv6462]

Autosteer doesn’t work in neutral

[@SkitterstheMarmot]

If they could get GPS to work without the tractor moving it would be awesome. I know I could have used a time or two.

[@europalette3640]

Also, at least in our Fendt, autosteer gets deactivated if there is noone on the seat

Always wanted to know how you started the bag , just have memories of you guys in the snow emptying one looks an awful job .

[@hammerslap5639]

Grandad always had a long board with 2 spikes. He would spike it to the ground to hide the tire straight for about 15 feet at a time.

[@Dirty_ASMR]

I was considering a bagger the last few years. Glad I haven't purchased one because of my last few crops, but it might not be a bad idea for the future

[@xaviercharest5143]

Hi mike, last year we put our magnum 380 on the grain screw, that was funny to see

[@nbock01]

Putting a bag on... not quite a nightmare but its close.. Always worried your going to catch and tear it. Our 706 was perfect on our machine. hardly ever had to touch the wheel even! Would keep it going straight. But we were doing hay and corn silage little different that grains. Moisture corn we had to baby sit it a little more but we always had custom combining so we had the man power to spare then.

[@B.E.Long.63]

[@brianrutherford3229]

Thus was very cool.i have never seen a crop get bagged before.where I am from if we dont have enough bin space the farmers either rent more or just sell the crop.verh rarely they will put grain on the ground for a short time .

[@rust1n0ut7060]

We handle pinto beans so we put variable frequency drives on our bin augers. It's a lot easier on beans and augers. They are not cheap so we put them in boxes and take them from bin to bin.

[@dennisphillips3059]

That is very interesting Mike always wondered how they fill those big bages

[@oilersridersbluejays]

Mike: every farmer has their opinion on how to bag grain. Mine: save yourself the manpower and headache and buy more bins.

[@mikemitchell2554]

True! But bins come at a cost, the man power we have ot have regardless of how many bins we have. More bins tho is the ultimate goal

I felt for the guy in the Fendt, he looked dead at you when the brake let go and shoved the tractor knowing you were pointing at him noting the mistake to everyone. Lol “oh no Mikes pointing at me” lol! Love the explanations, you’ve become one of my top channels. Hope the X9 works out for demo.
