Send Terry and Brian a photo of the monitor showing that yield 😂😂😂

[@rvhome5599]

Mike,glad to see you have a good crop, you guys suffered a lot the last few years and never complained a lot, not like some you tube farmers, they get one bad crop and cry like babies, after spending millions of dollars in maschinery and buildings , the Welkers still don’t have a nice crop after 3 years of nothing. The can’t buy millions of dollars in Maschinery and building upgrades, did they cry, no

[@Northern_Farmer]

They are still suffering down south...I haven't really seen them have a bad crop up north yet

[@robertI153]

Aren’t the USA farmers government subsidised?

[@sawyerschmunk6736]

Hey Mike I farm out by leader SK, that must be somewhat close to your south farm. Thank you for being the voice of farmers from sw sask, it can be discouraging out here!

I may have to come out some fall and work for ya Mike, 30 years experience as a combine operator. Currently running 9250 case and 9.9 Revelation New Holland. Great video as always

[@eaglemoose56]

Mike, I would like to suggest that the only bushel that matters, is the one you are paid for. That, divided by the total "gross tillable" acres is your yield. There are a lot of "other" formulas, but as a retired ag lender for almost 40 years, these are the numbers we felt that made payments on loans. Keep up the good work! It is appreciated.

[@SirOpinesALot]

Dunno how you stay awake watching the wheat go into the feederhouse. It's hypnotizing. Puts me right to sleep.

[@stevefetter2389]

your north farm seems to have much better soil. A little on the wetter side... but crazy good yield potential it seems

[@jackbannock3458]

Better ground, more rain, just better overall up north. Thats why we farm up here and my relatives also moved up here to farm

[@andykeyes9309]

We live in Indiana down in the US straw get tuff, the wheat gets tuff and you can't knock it out ahead as well.Use that to shut down at dark

[@Rickwardful]

Mike, do you ever wonder if all the work you do is really worth it? Do you sometimes wonder why you do so many hours? I’m a U.K. farmer and I’ve got to the age where I’m asking exactly those questions. Is it really all worth it? I love what I do, but I’m sick of not being appreciated enough for it, taking such high financial risks, being taken for granted and not earning enough for what I do and all the hours I work away from my family. What we do as farmers, allows everybody to do what they want to do, without having to worry about growing their own food.

[@staweks]

[@robertfranssen]

[@mikemitchell2554]

No you can't do that... They are two separate identities... But you can take samples of both and take them to your grain buyers and try sell it as a package deal, then haul to each respected terminals.

[@noahlucas1632]

hey mike you may not read this but it would be greatly appreciated if i could get your comback on what im about to ask, we have 3 of them on our place in arkansas and theres maybe only 5-6 throughout the whole state of arkansas, we’ve been pulling our hair out over the amount of dust that comes out of the throat when you are cutting with the machine, and also the amount of chaff and trash that comes out of the throat and ends up on the feeder house. When you are in the cab you can see all the way down to the front drum and chain and all the mechanics and people here say that’s perfectly normal. We blow and clean our machines every morning and by quiting time the feeder house will have so much chaff and dust on it that when you raise the feeder house it will touch the bottom of the cab. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

[@2007dalin]

buy something better.. lol

[@jackbannock3458]

Larson farms put these brush blocker things in to help with dust, and if yiu have an air reel on you can add a tube to clean the feeder house off. You could also put a crop catcher screen on like we do.

[@jacobstahl2245]

Hi Mike. It seems like you set your combine tighter then a class 7 machine, open that thing up and make it work, it's an x9 it's got a ton of capacity with extremely low losses if it's set Right. You're hardly getting an s780's capacity with those settings

[@mikemitchell2554]

That's true, it's because I don't like losses and I want a clean sample.. I have the bushel + pans and I want to be under 1/4 of a percentage loss. So for example, in an 80bu crop I don't want to exceed 0.2bu loss. Unless it's the middle of October and there's no coming, than 2bu loss is probably acceptable 🤣

[@notpoliticallycorrect4774]

I have noticed that the Mitchell's, even with the acres they cover, never push their equipment hard. I give them respect for that. When I ran farm equipment, I learnt to back off a bit, and at the end of the day, I had just as much work done, and equipment that wasn't beat up and would be good to go the next day.

[@jacobstahl2245]

​@@mikemitchell2554the only thing you will lose in an x9 when pushing to full capacity when set Right is maybe your sample will dirty up a bit which is ok in my opinion because dockage won't break the bank but having to add another combine will, even if u accept more losses it's still not an extra combine payment because you can't get your acres cut without adding another one. just my opinion on combines.

Slower unload on the 1000 as well but that can be upgraded with a bigger pulley for around $1000
