Another Blast of Winter!

[@toddjames99madcatmkll20]

So Mike, you have the north farm that is getting bigger and bigger, and the west farm now. I know you've said you are not leaving the south farm cause that is home-base, but we almost never see you doing anything at the south farm anymore. Would you be willing to talk about your total situation, between the 3 farms and the costs involved with spreading out over that distance? that would be interesting to learn. thanks!

[@Agri-Farm-UK]

I wouldn’t say he hardly does anything at the south farm 😂 poor old Mikes running full steam at all farms

[@rvhome5599]

Mike is a go getter and risk taker and never really complains about terrible crops , not like some Midwest farmers on you tube. They get one year of less crop and cry about it, on the other hand they just lavish in nice maschinery and buildings , look at the Welkers, they are like Mike, go go go

[@toddjames99madcatmkll20]

@@Agri-Farm-UK no I meant we do not see any videos about the south farm much anymore, not that he does not do anything

[@jone8626]

if he was smart he would stay at the north Farm and enjoy life while he can. Life is short, don't waste it all by working like a madman

[@stakman78]

Wow look at all the know it all Mike's answering for him.. Thanks Mike Mike Mike and Mike..

[@taylorjennings2218]

We usually just set the truck brakes and leave the trailer brakes off. By the time the truck air leaks off and the trailer brakes come on, the pads are already froze up and are too cold to freeze to the drum.

[@aahZeiK]

That’s most likely what he’s doing aswell

There’s 2 kinds of people-those who can barely drag themselves across the 5:00 finish line and then think they’ve put in a long day. Then there’s the other kind, who at 11:00pm are still hoping to get a start on the next day by getting their trucks loaded. I’ve been both of those guys.

[@3RDGENFARMS]

Good to hear from ya Mike, I’d be curious as to how well a snowblower would work for the north farm? Might help out with getting the snow out as much as possible not to mention when it gets blown and lands it packs down quite a lot and might help to prevent as much snow drift. Cheers from Alberta

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

I love you Brother Mike you have the drive and tenacity to just do whatever it takes to get the job done ✅ and you don’t rush or freak out and push hard breaking yourself and your Team and equipment. You keep your head clear and make it happen. Good job 👍🏼❤️. God please Bless Mike and his Family and Team with safety and protection I ask you to hold them close to you in Jesus Name 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸

[@duncanmcleish3683]

The snowmobilers will be grinning from ear to ear.👍🇨🇦

[@jackbannock3458]

Yes we are. And the farther west you go from Mike's north farm the better the snow gets from that last storm.

[@NVMDSTEvil]

Brake pads and drums will be below freezing before the air goes off. They won't freeze up unless ambient is high enough to cause melting and often not even then.

[@scottsand2317]

I’ve been watching the weather Mike and it looks like you got some snow on the south farm too! I hoping that your winter wheat is going to be 60 bushels next summer 😮

Hopefully this moisture will continue and help with next years crops!

[@leddielive]

Most definitely at the south farm & they really need some better yields than previous years. They are strong people to remain positive in those situations. 😀

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

Mike over here in the UK we have a blue button on the trailers used for shunting so when you push it in it releases the brakes on the trailers and they won’t come back on until you pull the button out again regardless of air pressure

[@taylorjennings2218]

@@TheSwampdoggydog huh never heard of that, but I need it! How does it work?

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

@ when the trailer has enough air in the tanks to begin with it has 2 push buttons on the chassis similar to the ones you use in America for your park brake on the dash. So for example you need to move a trailer from one space to another in a yard once you connect the truck to the trailer hop out do not connect the air pipes to the trailer just push the blue button and the brakes release until you pull it out again even if the trailer then looses all air pressure. You also do not have any brakes on the trailer also naturally as no hoses connected. The second button is the hand brake just push it in ( when the blue is pulled out) and the trailer brakes are set until you pull it out regardless of the air lines from the truck. The amount of times that I have connected to a trailer and put all the hoses on wound up the legs jumped in the truck released the brakes and tried to move just to discover the last person applied the park brake and I had to jump out and release the brakes lol.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great job plowing snow Mike

[@stevenarnold3935]

You're a beautiful strong lady. I wish I had your positive additude. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. God bless you.

[@johnmchardy4502]

The fendt could keep the air pressure up sitting idling beside the trailers if you had a t piece to run 2 lines or the 4 trailers at the same time

[@zfilmmaker]

Back in the day, I had the 1st Gen SnowWing (HLA will remember this if they’re watching), brand new Fendt 724 and… I open the wings and they jam in my tires. Not good. The 2nd gen doesn’t do that.

[@awstott]

I thought I missed the video on the Peterbuilt. Looking forward to a video on it.

[@greggmccleary1440]

Leave your trailers aired up. I know they will slowly leak down but by the time they do your brake and wheel temps will be ice cold and shouldn’t freeze together

[@dirtdevil70]

He has stated in previous vids that he already does that.

[@LeighCowley]

I know it’s different but I drove school bus for twenty four years in northern utah. We a Ways heated the brakes up by riding them for a mile or less but that dried them off so they wouldn’t freeze. When I forgot boy they were frozen.

[@garyberg]

Mike, I hope someday you will find enough in your budget to get a grader with a wing to maintain your yard and haul roads.

[@LynnDenison]

U can keep it white stuff I live in Michigan up in the thumb of Huron county city of Bad Axe Michigan we had dusting of snow on Thanksgiving Day early morning it was night time am ready for summer weather 80 degrees or more

Just install GSM based remote start modules to the trucks so You can remote start and stop the engines

[@stevewinkler6721]

Good for the winter wheat

[@robhartshorn6823]

Just a thought that might work. A Milwaukee battery powered air compressor hooked up to trucks air tanks. I think it would cycle on and off automatically when air pressure got low and would keep your emergency brakes from setting. Would probably help add a few more days of sit time or maybe a week or longer.

As iced up as they are I would be concerned about valve linkages and airlines. Have seen ice bust fitting off before and thats no fun in the snow either! Nice plow rig though!

[@seanflarahan]

When ur brakes are stuck on with no load could u not fill the trailers with the chaser bin to get weight on them??

[@leddielive]

Work smarter, not harder. That's a great idea, you can start the trucks & let them warm up, fill the cart quickly without all the shunting back & forth, know exactly how much weight you're loading. Infact, I can't think of any negatives to your idea, I hope Mike sees your comment & tries it out, make a good video too Mike.😃

Is it more efficent to use the leased tractors for the augers instead of dedicated Motors?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Efficient? Maybe.. Cheaper? No!.. Enjoyable tho? Yes. 😆

[@leddielive]

Many leases have hours restrictions, limits & extra costs. Similar to a car lease, you get say 60k over 3 yrs & if you exceed that you incur extra costs for each additional mile. Sorry if I'm 'preaching to the choir' but not everyone is knowledgeable of these things. 😀

[@seansweeney145]

So what are the rules about Sleep/Rest and driving a Semi in Canada?

[@mikemitchell2554]

13hrs driving per day... Rule of thumb is, and you can ask any of my guys, I tell them "if you're tired pull over and nap/sleep period". Whether combine, tractor or semi. I don't believe in regulating (x) hours on or off and thankfully I am exempt from that. We have learnt from the education system that everyone learns and is wired differently. So by heavy regulation doesn't at all mean safer drivers, just obligates drivers to drive when thier "rest time" is officially ended. That's why, drive when you're not tired and not when you are. 🙂

@ I’ve got the blower and the blade, but once you go blower you blow only.
