Let the seed cleaning begin

[@Thatsoverrated]

Pretty impressed with Brian backing up like that.

[@carloscordova1351]

excellent tractor, and you are a very hardworking and lucky person god bless you with that beautiful work greetings from burley idaho

[@gejrhovbrender308]

Equipment sellers that watch this trying to sell you stuff will be like: "This air drill comes standard with 4 train horns." Mike: "Can you deliver us 5 air drills before March?"

[@randaloopy]

Thank you for these longer videos. Sooo interesting!

[@petepage2076]

I always run the chord through the door handle, that way you HAVE TO unplug it to get inside. "....now yer thinkin with yer dipstick Jimmy."

[@mattklug9815]

That’s using your dipstick jimmy!

[@travelocity1477]

Hey Mike, you should get a smaller drill for one of the berts and go seeding with it next spring. I really want a video of you driving one for a day. I think it would be very entertaining.

[@prjndigo]

Those old Jack Doees get anxious if you take them out of the farm yard, they start losing their oil and catching fire. Best to leave em there.

[@zacharyprovance3128]

Hydraulic splitters come in real handy on those old 2 remote tractors. We put one on our old 4640 and it was particularly useful for spraying.

[@jdman8881]

Yes I’d love to see a truck tour of all your trucks

[@andrewg.3434]

Yes! Truck tour, please! Great video, maybe you'll hit 100K by the end of the year!

[@frankliska4186]

Nice to see you support canadian companies, mostly manitoba grain handling,meridian and Westeel product storage.i drive a truck out of Winnipeg and go to both those plants regularly.

[@Somedude5767]

On the bright side, equipment doesn’t sink and get stuck when it’s -20 outside.

I bet Engel work wear comes in handy with those temps ⛄👍

Great video Mike good luck cleaning your seed

[@timkelley8775]

It’s obvious that everyone enjoys their job. Great group of people.

[@theyarddogs4100]

Awesome video Mike you guys are a very big farm for sure. Thanks for sharing. Carl

[@gryphonbt1010]

Work hard and play hard! This was interesting. Never knew seeds needed cleaning. Thanks for the videos Mike, really enjoying them 👍🏻😎

[@Northern_Farmer]

You don't actually clean the seed..it means to separate all the foreign material so you have just seed

[@RoisinT2]

And this way drills work better without plugging and for the more its no use to drill any shit, just what grows and gives you profit.

[@gryphonbt1010]

@@Northern_Farmer aha... thank you

[@gryphonbt1010]

@@RoisinT2 so pure seed, cool. I gather that the seed is purchased and then you need to seperate it? Or do the seeds go bad / break during storage?

[@Neighborly_Content]

Those augers would be prime for an ag cam or something so you could easily see where the spouts are in relation to the bin and when backing in.

[@offshorefishermanfreedoman9163]

Great idea

Love you videos and seeing the farm keep up the good work

[@claudreindl7275]

Reminds me of the old fanning mill we used to clean seed beans, but it was only roughly 1 cu. meter in size.

[@jondeer83]

Mike, Fasse valves makes great hydraulic boxes where you can get two extra outlets on the back of your tractor and you won't ever have to unhook those hoses to put your auger up. I have a extra one on my farm that came off my John Deere 4450. Sure we could work something out if you like me to send it up. Keep up with the awesome videos.

[@alexmorris2947]

Love your videos bro.. your like “ Jarred HOWS IT GOING BUDDY..?!!!!” all excited af then all calm as hell like “ not bad” haha idk your hilarious to me bub love em keep em coming mate 👍🏻💪🏻 thanks buddy

Love how u explain everything

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Cleaning that seed reminds me of cleaning oats when I was a kid back in the 70's in upstate New York. Always on the coldest day, sacking and shoveling bags of oats by hand. Not fun!

[@Sixinthefield]

That's a fine W9!

[@victor-emmanuel7485]

The longer the videos, the better 👌

[@koryleague8833]

Great video mike. I'd love to see a truck video. My first video of yours I watched was you cleaning seed.

[@jeffyoung2089]

Thanks Mike! Yall stay warm up there!

[@benburkholder7895]

Mike you should do a video of shop work working on equipment and do a shop tour

[@artm5294]

Are the bins numbered? I didn' t see any . How do you keep track of what's in what bin? With a big operation like that, who looks after all the book keeping and stuff. Reminds me of a sign I saw. " Do you want to speak to the manager in charge or the woman who knows what's going on".🇨🇦 👍

[@igorkrempoha1071]

we have all the grain in the hangars already sifted from the garbage now shipped only corn for sale from the field, too, sifted through kzes.

[@harpstone]

Those huge galvanized tanks with the spiral stairs would make awesome agri-loft condominiums! Just a thought.

[@rust1n0ut7060]

If you want to keep your seed from crusting put a 2x4 under the top lid then strap it down. It lets the heat out so the roof won't sweat.

[@jonpbarker]

Mike, It’s November 2nd....and I baled hay all afternoon....#Texas gulf coast

[@Northern_Farmer]

Seems like the farther south you were the colder it was..we got down to -16 for z couple nights...but it wasn't to bad

[@mkine]

2:10 jesus thats cold! We had +20 degree Celsius here today. We actually live at about the same latitude as you. Just a 8000 km east (South Germany).

[@leesteele9290]

Many questions!! First how many bushels do those hopper bottom bins hold ,2nd how do you decide which grain you're going to clean for seed , 3rd how come all the augers and conveyers instead of a central leg and dump pit and overhead loadout bins , 4th did you say it was one and a half hours one way to the terminal 5th do you use any of the grain out of the bags for seed or are you emptying any of those yet sorry so many but inquiring minds need to know !! Sorry weather has sucked , not bad here harvest progressing fast !! Never out grow a snowball fight !!

[@mikemitchell2554]

#1 around 5000bu, #2 we just start cleaning what we think we might be seeding according to our crop rotations. #3 our augers prb cost 25,000 maybe.. Haha vs legs a few hundred grand.. #4 the terminal is near 100miles away, and we try for 3 or 4 loads per truck a day!... #5 we are hauling the bags out to the terminals and yes we can use what's in the bags for seed too

[@bizlez4044]

haha. Hi mike, just saw the words seed cleaning and was hit with a serious amount of PTSD. I'm a farmer from western Australia and we farm about 50,000 acres. As you know with an operation like that, cleaning seed can be quite the grind. Hope it all goes quick, and not too painfully. Nice to see we aren't the only ones. love the content mike, keep it up.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Thanks good sir! 🙂 I know, its the job that won't end haha

Super-b's arent too hard to back as long as you know how everything reacts because all youre doing is steering the rear trailer with the lead trailer instead of steering the rear with your truck it makes it easier to back to think of it like that lol now ups double with the dolly in the middle thats alot more difficult lmao

[@mattclark8436]

Interesting operation!

[@Myamericanlife61]

Nice looking cleaner set up most of the ones I have worked with have been truck mounted so ya outside the whole time I like what ya doing with the shed that set up is going to be awesome do you treat your own seed too or don’t you bother

Yes, come spring we do..

[@casey5711]

How much seed do you need for entire operation , bushels , tonnes ? For the year ? Thanks Mike .😀👍🏾🇨🇦

[@farmguy2400]

Enough to seed a little more than 40-45k acres

[@jakeholland5125]

Mike I’m sitting here day by day trying to figure out how this operation runs so efficiently I mean it’s just phenomenal

[@charlesdow4802]

How many bushels are your big bins and how many are the cone bins and how much storage all together

[@billsmith8739]

Why do have a connection between the intake and exhaust pipe of the tractor? Looks cold!!

[@catfischer86]

Exhaust has a venturi inside that sucks the dirty air out of the intake and ejects it out of the exhaust.

[@toddrabideau5576]

YES on the truck tour Mike.👍 Looks like you have nice equipment! How many rigs on the farm? And do you keep drivers busy year round?

lentils we call it "parippu" in Sri Lanka and we love parippu ( lentils )

Mike do a pros and cons video of one of the berts

[@maximush9811]

Do your seed lentils crack much with an auger versus a belt conveyor?

[@shedhead]

Mike, with all the product/seed/fertilizer you put in bin's, how come you don't have a drive over hopper for your auger?

[@Jorrie86]

Mike you should've kept the camera close by the 4650's exhaust for a little while longer ... That old school turbo sound is music to my ears 😀👍

Its 30 degrees f tonight in Tennessee, in U.S. should be lows in high 50s or low 60s the highest havent been their in the last week. Cant wait for our 80 degree highs to come back

Were the Burts once the farms primary tractors?

Ohh Engelbert Strauss I see you are a man of culture

[@justinchees]

How much payload weight do your trucks carry to town? We work in kgs /tonnes in NZ so a “b double” like what you have there would carry 27-29 tonne depending on the empty weight

[@YouTube_Professor]

For some reason I thought farmers could not use the stuff grown for seed? How many acres do you need to grow just for next years seeding.

[@mattklug9815]

If you unplug it before you start the tractor the block heater lasts longer

Wow, laughed for a minute straight. "Mike, what about safety first. I think he has his steel toe boots on so we are good". If you are as good at growing grain as your wit you will be very successful.

Hi Mike, Watching from Shropshire in England find your videos very interesting! Do you have to pay seed royalties back to the plant breeders on your home saved seed?
