The amount of equipment and variety of equipment used in your operations is almost overwhelming. Every cat seems to be skun in a multitude of ways. No bin..no worries. Can't combine, swath it. No power..get generator. No water..build a lake. lol merry Christmas

It's what us farmers do. Bypass what we can. There's a fine line between keeping the operation going and saving money.

[@Len_M.]

A Friend imported an ex-Kenworth Prime mover from Australia that had Dual High Volume Air Systems on it for extended Length (Road Trains) asked could you hook up 2 Leads and a Rear Trailer (which is what it pulled previously) for just moving Trailers around the Yard to put them in the Shop, etc. The Wilson rep looked at us funny and said no, NO, definitely would void your Warranty! And he was like there wouldn’t be enough Air to release the Brakes anyway. Said that wouldn’t be an issue with the Air System on the Truck. 😏😂

[@JohnDoe-jq5wy]

GREAT stuff 🤠.... MERRY CHRISTMAS FOR Y'ALL 😀👍😎

[@gavinperry7237]

Farmers never run out of things to go on there "Wish Lists" if funds were unlimited. A wireless camera on a magnetic mount on the end of the auger could be a nice bonus.

Akron makes some good quality bagging equipment simple and effective!

[@jorgenobili4344]

Thanks. I deliver Akron equipment in my truck. Im from Argentina

[@jimosullivan4866]

why not install a camera near the discharge Shute ?

[@davidamos9506]

Ya might wanna demo a Tridekon Grain Boss , I rented one this fall and it seems to have a few perks over the Akron system. Little more complicated, but one guy can load a truck from the ground. the wheels are steerable and have they're own hydraulic drives, the auger is a swing, and the bag flows through, so you never need to stop on a long bag. loaded a tandem in 8 min, no issues. first try. Merry Christmas, Happy farming

[@NVMDSTEvil]

We have a Brandt, identical to the Akron but no pusher. I can load a truck by myself with it. All I did was add a camera up on the auger tube and a monitor in the tractor (dirt cheap backup camera system from crappy tire). If you park the truck in the right spot and pointed in the opposite direction you can load without having to move it aside from moving for the next trailer.

[@jorgenobili4344]

Nice video, In Argentina we have too Richiger equipment, farmers say is better than Akron.

[@damianandrewcoyle5674]

God big valtra t series would be some job for u. U get them with inside cab turns right around. U be so comfy everything would be in front of u. There basically a fendt anyway.

[@lafermedu14etlagriculteurs29]

with the 724, you can adjust to accelerate automatically as soon as you turn on the pto

[@christianbencard2363]

Merry Christmas to you all. I was thinking, why not have a wireless camera sitting on the auger so you can follow the loading. The camera could be connected to one or two monitors so both you and the truckdriver also could follow the loading.

[@davidthorne2129]

Good thinking 99

[@davidthorne2129]

Gooday Mike. Just wondering if those hopper bottom trailers have enough slope to fully empty oats because oats don’t run as well as any other grain

[@klaif12]

Do you need a worker? I have a license to drive trucks and forklifts Nature is very beautiful and so is the weather When I get to America, I will talk to you 🤣🤣🤣

[@dennisdial7872]

Look like yall need some head phones GOOD COMS

[@montybolinger6383]

I know that there would be one back up alarm disconnected on the Fendt, Don't need that noise.

[@Its_Me0000]

Merry Christmas Mike. I have a question - in SK I remember you said after a certain date or upon a certain cold weather, you can run a heavier tractor/trailer combination. At any time can you run a tripple trailer?

[@codyarnold5672]

Only way you see those setups is highway van trailers and they are just shorty trailers like 20ft trailers and you need special permits and supposed to only run them at night, any longer and no or Atleast western Canada does not recognize that configuration as it exceeds the legit length limit

[@johnhendrickson8926]

Could you possibly put those bags indoors to keep them from getting covered in snow ? Just an idea.

[@Flav52]

How much weight goes into these two trailers combined ? It depends on the grain and the moisture content, but on this particular application for example ?

[@verlinswarey507]

That seems like a cold job to be standing out there running the bagger. Really love your videos, Mike,no matter the subject! Also,I watch every second of every one of your videos religiously! I “follow” you,in the social media sense of the word! I wonder what you’re doing sometimes in the middle of the day! Sometimes I ask myself “what would Mike do in this situation?!” I don’t follow you on patreon though! You’re not getting one cent of my money! Not one! Merry Christmas!

[@kenhofer8063]

Shitty ending to a comment you could’ve kept it to yourself

[@truthandfreedom885]

When the bag is empty how much work is it to get the old bag off the rollers

Or bag distrector. I ment.

[@bene5431]

Is it possible to mount a mirror on that auger spout so ypu can see how much is in the semi?

[@islaymassive1530]

Would it be possible to mount a mirror or camera on the spout to see into the trailer? would it be helpfull?

[@Raydubbs90]

How many truck loads can you get out of a bag

How can you stand the grapple on your front end loader? I took mine off on the first day. Almost drove me crazy.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha I use it enough to warrant keeping it on

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Does the bag ever freeze to the ground and then want to rip instead of picking up?

A pto in front of the tractor would be more comfortable ....

Serait il possible d'avoir la traduction en France car c'est très intéressant, merci

[@nickjames4208]

What do you do with the old bags

[@mikemitchell2554]

Roll them up and drop them off at a recycling depot. I have done videos of this in the past, thanks for the question. 🙂

[@jasonclark3127]

Could you fill into a grain cart then fill the trucks from that while the bagger keeps going you won’t have to stop the bagger just load the cart on the right and load truck from the left that way you don’t have to worry about overloading trucks or trucks waiting because the cart can load trucks faster I know it takes another person but could it speed up things

[@crandonborth]

They do that at the South farm when they have hundreds of bags to pick up.

[@jorgenobili4344]

We make like you say in Argentina because we cant drive in any way overloading, several tickets

[@gavinperry7237]

Ernie probably feels left out as he know that he is lighter in weight so that he could be dragged backward with the bag extractor . What's a few mice in the cab to keep Mike on his toes or more likely up on top of the cab to escape the little critters 🤣🐀🐁😂

[@jamesropp9734]

Don't u wish the auger arm was longer

[@luisalmeida6276]

Why don't you mount a camara on the spout so that it becomes easy to see ehen you are almost fully loaded.

[@MrTonyharrell]

Mike, if you don’t inow what day it is give me a call. If I don😅’t know, I can call somebody. 😂 Just funning you. But seriously, do you ever just put your feet up and play with your boy? It seems to me you like bad weather as much as new tractors?

[@mikemitchell2554]

Oh I do yes! That's why I have backed the videos down and might back them down even more... Hanging out with them is my #1 priority 🙂

[@gavinperry7237]

Is there a reason why bag extractors don't have the auger on the other side so a semi can be driven forward while loading and still load on the non tarp side ?

[@davidthorne2129]

That’s because us Aussie truck drivers need an advantage over your left hand drive trucks lol

[@sasfarmer]

With the Tridekon Grain Boss as another commenter mentioned you could do that as the auger can swing 360 deg.

[@davidthorne2129]

That was a joke mate. We are right hand drive here in Australia

On them super b's them short lookin boxes is each one of them the same as a longer trailer down here in the states , so is it like having 2 of our trailers behind 1 truck , is it the same as having 2 of our size loads with only 1 tractor on the road

[@EFCasual]

Pretty much. Depends on the axle weights allowed in the area. Doubles are used in some states.

[@jimjohn5348]

@@EFCasual I know that part bout the weight and doubles used here I'm just wondering with them bein as short can they haul as much as the longer trailers I mean I understand because it's less costly because only 1 truck but in the long run would it not be a little better with say four tractors and 4 longer trailers haulin more then the same as 2 tractors with 2 shorter double trailers I guess I'm just sayin will 2 sets of them super b doubles haul less or more or even the same as 4 of the longer trailers used here

@@jimjohn5348 I don't think those doubles are as short as you think. Pretty sure they have the same capacity.
