I personally love the fact that you have such a variety of equipment on your farm and i look forward to the comparisons

[@aaronblack2897]

Genuinely thanks for the banter, that was a funny video today! Really enjoying watching your harvest, have a good one.

[@bigt6359]

Thanks for taking your time to explain farming practices!!!!

[@balepack]

Haha, mate, you’re the man! Very like your opinions and your way how seeing things! Big fan of you and your vids! Greetings from Switzerland

[@woody1320]

Greetings from South Dakota! Glad I found your channel, love the humor and your commentary. Farming and practices varies so much and can learn so much from all of you.

[@cvdk7141]

Really liked your question/answer segment, your tech answer was spot on, keep it simple, growing good crops is an art form with a little love from above

[@martyperry5250]

I love that no matter what piece of equipment you are running that you are always honest about the pro’s and con’s. By the way, Awesome hat.

[@Pickhinke]

Thanks mike. Always enjoy your videos

[@ronchappel4812]

That was interesting Mike.I'm relearning how farming works after being away for decades, so it's good to hear details. But i mostly come here because you're just great to listen to. To quote someone famous "You're awesome"! haha. All the best with harvest

[@stmcelroy4829]

God Bless you and your operation Mike. Your sense of Honesty is wonderful. Thanks. Steve From Stampeders Territory.

[@mickaelbissec7178]

Great as usual you rock ! I would love to see a behind the scene of the organisation of a day of combine before going to the field and how you eat etc... Have a great day !

[@richardlong9877]

I like they way he tells the good and the bad about each machine regardless of what the manufacturers and dealers think. I hope they take farmer’s input to heart.

[@dantrucker7623]

Keep these awesome videos coming. Love your content here in Australia. Well said with the yield amount. We had that when I was doing 10,000 acres. So many varying factors. Love your work and keep the awesome videos going.

[@geraldday1388]

Like your straight forward answers. I agree that we should respect each other’s opinions.What works for one person doesn’t work for the other one.

[@kenadams4264]

I hit the thumbs up the second you said Trudeau wheat, haha. Your videos always get a thumbs up though, keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@aledjones5083]

Nice to see and hear your hard on the harvest hope you all have a great weekend hauling grain and peas.all the best from West Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@markbuhler3348]

Love the grain cart bit! Nailed it!!

[@brendanhayes2752]

Great channel, love the humor.

[@johnearhart8811]

Love it. Love the way you operate. If it works for you, no one should care. Thanks Mike so much for sharing your thoughts and videos.

[@junkorbust9498]

I went a little out of my way to travel through your area from southern Manitoba to Calgary last week. The crops this year mostly look good at 60 mph. I was impressed with the number of operators who run similar numbers of machines. Have a good harvest season.

[@giovannicosta7203]

I just can't find the words to tell you how much I just love how fricking REAL and honest you are. FOCK them all. Just keep doing things exactly the way you have been in my book its perfect ......no fluff just good watching

[@alajenhowden2423]

Brilliant video as always, keep up the good work god bless to you and your family.

[@JsixstringS]

Look forward to seeing all that awesome equipment in the field really enjoy your videos

[@henryfederau6845]

Awesome as always Mike! Always love the "opinions" - and always great that you don't bash one color and call a spade a spade. Two thumbs up and all the best with 2020 harvest!

[@jocelyngainche2578]

I have got a smaller scale operation but similar point of view concerning the way to run it. Make it simple, productive and efficient. ROI is the most important.

[@inlikeflynn673]

Just keep on keeping on Mike! Love any vids from you!

[@dennisphillips3059]

Your videos are totally awesome Mike and I like how you explain things

[@kevinmeyer3884]

Mike your Awesome! I share a lot of your views on farming!

[@donflint4585]

You are so honest& smarter than most keep it up

[@corgraveland4874]

Great, great Q&A video Mike! Lots of good information and from long experience gained insights, thanks for sharing. Really liked yr opinion on many things. What I also really do like is this Fendt Ideal you are currently running is running so smoothly, because it has the right technologies onboard and the manufacturer found a good mixture both hardware and software wise. What an area and crop it has been harvesting for you while you were doing the video. Fantastic piece of equipment. Like the sound as well and it is so quiet. Just happy it is all running so well. Enjoy the remainder of the harvest of those lentils. Thnx buddy👌😉

[@farmcentralohio]

Great video Mike, keep on doing what you do and we'll be watching

[@joshuabiggum3758]

Awesome video. Great to hear your opinion on these things. And I like the fact that you don't use a go pro and no sponsor, makes it legit

[@teamred389]

Love how you do your own thing and you don't care what the youtube trolls say, you're awesome!

[@arnoldshuckerrr2596]

Hey Mike, We have had an array of combines. Our first one was a John Deere 55, then a gleaner, then a Case Ih 1450, and now we have a Case IH 2344 and the point is, we have been loyal to one tractor brand the whole time, John Deere, But combines need to have exactly what a farmer needs, doesn't matter the color, it just needs to get the job done right and for us header width was never a problem but at the time, Case IH just made a better combine. No Matter what your driving Mike, I think it fits you well. Keep up the great work!

[@regwillems1452]

Trudeau wheat "All straw and nothing in the head". That is a very good one Mike.

[@edouardvezina8235]

Very, very good one

[@lornatevelde696]

Love your videos Mike, keep up the good work.

[@AureFreePress]

Good morning Mike... Have a great Saturday ❤️

[@zieske98]

You are awesome mike! Your videos make my day, definitely reset your options, hell I agree with basically all of them How bout some drone footage, shit if i had a passport I'd come up and do some drone work for you

[@lestersmith8758]

Excellent Q&A Mike.

[@rubenbraekman4515]

Mike you're like a game character with all maxed out stats... I love the scale of your farm haha 🤟

[@danadams3465]

A top notch common sense video! Totally made up for the charade video! hahaha Enjoyed all the comedy comments!

[@taurus4205]

You said “doo-doo”!!! I smile.

[@ronmitchell1870]

Straight up have a good and safe day 👍

[@marcelhabets4802]

Men I love your video's the most, just real uncut enjoying video's to watch, and a awesome farm you got, and just so intressting how you are telling your story and to learn from them.

[@jeremymoreside1444]

I recall reading about a header built in the 90s that extended to the right side of the combine. Added an additional 25' of header off the right side. Can't for the life of me remember who made it

[@randysutter3991]

Mike.. i like how everyone thinks u don't now anything about the reasons for the over heating problem..u the man

[@mikemitchell2554]

😂 Thanks.. KZbin is crazy sometimes

[@jeremymoreside1444]

Can you run an egr delete? Would that help you think?

[@mikemitchell2554]

I totally agree BWM, they are all for the most part all just trying to help, and I appreciate that 🙂

[@NoName-su4fo]

I haven't laughed so hard at a KZbin video in awhile. Your a funny guy. You make it fun to watch

[@WilliamStevens007]

Great video Mike, Enjoyed it as I do all of them apart from the silent one hahahhaha.

[@hybridssuck]

Love the response to the tech question that ended up with you saying that you’d rather have fewer combines only bigger, not more and smaller. A farm roughly your size in eastern Colorado (30000ish acres), uses a dozen (class 6? I believe), Claas Lexion combines. That’s a lot more moving parts and a lot more maintenance, and more man power.

[@realgagne8523]

Your awesome. Keep up the great job

[@stanhensley3082]

Your right on the money about other opinions. Thanks.

[@edwinhershberger1319]

Great videos. I like the real deal genuine opinions,common sense way of expressing,and all the details you give. I have a special needs 12 year old son and his favorite channel is Mike Mitchell!

[@johnlindquist6335]

Hi Mike. I have a few thoughts on the overheating tractor. #1 is the fan mounted in the right direction? #2 On semi trucks there is a #4 hose that goes from the top radiator tank to somewhere on the cylinder head. With no engine running remove hose at rad tank and lower this hose below top tank. If no stream of water comes out that hose the hose or the fittings are plugged. #3 I think you said they replaced the water pump. To verify the impeller is not slipping on the shaft do this. That same #4 vent hose remove at radiator side, connect a low pressure gauge. Start engine run at 1000 RPM and you should have a about 10 to 15 LBS. If it reads 0 it's possible the impeller is loose or slipping. I dyno a Case engine from the Navy and the water temp went to 220 F. Check cooling system and found a red plastic cap inside the water pump inlet. Also came across people would remove rad from truck to work on engine and reassemble rad. The truck would leave and be back the next day for overheating. The problem was someone put a rag in the rad outlet to keep it from dripping and forgot about it. Dose it push water out of radiator overflow tube? If so, then there is compressing getting in the cooling system. Mike this is a long one but I want to assist you for this problem. My Son Nick says he has chatted with you on Facebook. Seeing seven Fendt combines in one field makes my heart pumping faster!!! God Bess Mike. Like your style of farming. /

[@interman7715]

Mike is the real deal ,not a fanboy to any colour and tells it how it is and has a great channel.

[@gamerdrive5565]

As far as go pros and not wanting to carry one around, I get that, but I reckon here and there just get a good angle with it, record a long video, speed it up/time lapse however it’s done and just chuck it up, no talking needed anything like that, there is just something so rad about watching farming sped waaaay way up. Cheers from Australia bud love ya work.

[@bcaper5246]

Mike your Crazy!, enjoy a man on a mission great videos ! Hello from Eastern Canada take care!

[@life_of_murphy]

Love the hot topic debate. Opinions are how we advance and like you keep saying, what works for one won’t necessarily work for another.

[@steveclement504]

Great video as always. And I think it doesn't matter what color you have, but service you get from a dealer will say what color you get.

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Your a class act Mike 😁love what u do and commentary 👍🏻

[@davezalinko1354]

Mike I really enjoyed your answer or answers to acres/day. You actually sounded like a politician. 😂😂. As a farmer myself I can do the math I’m my head of what you would “average” on a good day. You are correct though there are several factors that do determine how much you can do. Have a great, safe rest of your harvest. We will be starting Monday or Tuesday. By the way we ran NHs for the past 7 years, running S780s this year, so yes change is good.

[@joesteel1261]

Thank you Mike for getting people straight on acres you can cover.Like my father used to say."You can't tell the price of pork by looking at a pig.

[@andrewshaw1678]

Love the GoPro comments, thanks for being a farmer first and KZbin star second.

[@jamesmoon1841]

Mike, love the Trudeau wheat comment. LOL

[@stanleyjones4180]

great video mike i could listen to you all day enjoyed the video thanks

[@chadshafer8095]

Love your videos. I like how you are Honest. I like Blunt People who Dont Candy Coat anything & who dont Bleed Green. I like how you try all Brands that Interest you & give a Honest Oppion of how it Performs . You are not Color Blind which i like. Keep up the Great Work.

[@gavinperry7237]

This was an AWESOME & EXTREMELY EDUCATIONAL VIDEO. I appreciate that you are VERY VERY BUSY. More Q & A’s would be GREAT since it gives you a more efficient way of getting to the answers to the comments out to your LOYAL SUPPORTERS who CANNOT WAIT for the next video to be released. I TOTALLY agree with your reasoning for a phone over a GoPro. Need to get Apple to gift you a phone with 512 GB so we can watch you from morning to night🎥📸📹😂🤣

[@timgear9892]

Good video. Thanks for your comments and opinions Mike. Good job!

[@timmattison6553]

Hello from upstate NY. love the NY shirt. keep the videos coming. be safe and see ya on the next one.

[@Patriot3791]

Video quality is just fine brother

[@fendtclaas8689]

Trudeau wheat that's the best one yet!!!! Hahahaha

[@stevenweich863]

Mike, I’m with you on the variable rate. It’s hard to know if it’s going to be a wet year or dry year and where to put the resources, sometimes blanket decisions cover the bases the best.

[@deadmau5kid]

2020 guys. Subscribing to a farming channel let’s go! Love it !

[@steveboxum6734]

love the videos Mike. And I totally agree on technology, it's great but farming is about getting the crop in the bin or what have you. Farming is a gamble every year and no matter what you do it's all up to our good Lord on how the crops yield.

[@scruffy6151]

We have no control over weather so all the tech means nothing when you have a dry year or a really wet year.

[@leddielive]

Hi Mike, I guess you get the TV series Blackadder in your neck of the woods so in the words of General Melchad himself, "Don't ignore the do do" and keep doing the do do that you do, all the best from the Fens of England UK.

[@Matt0ttens213]

love your videos and your opinions on farming and life in general. I also don't want to own a bunch of robots that do the best part of farming for me. Thanks for the videos.

[@tincan6929]

One of the best channel's out there awesome 👍👍😂😂😂😂

[@farmerboo6144]

Great work Mike “Feeding the World”. Commentary is fantastic even though you are a little crazy. Congrats on getting married. Cheers from Australia. Farmer Boo

[@SomeTechGuy666]

I almost worked for a farmer this fall. Things were slow in early August due to COVID, so I answered a couple ads. Figured it would be fun to do a harvest again. Had offers from 2 of them. And then work got busy.

[@rongrose3746]

Thanks ! Enjoyed !!

[@arnoldshuckerrr2596]

Well I know one thing, when a farmer says that 50ft headers on 7 Fendt combines aren't big enough, well then you know that farmers got some land.

[@noelmartyn9034]

Mike you are the most realistic crazy guy on KZbin. Love your video.

[@carloscordova1351]

Mike mitchell thanks for your videos. You are a successful entrepreneur. 👍

[@echutch]

I try to do a morning doo when there is morning dew just be productive while waiting for the dew to do it’s thing.

[@troyadamswaymarfarm5224]

Hi mate, Agree💯% with everything you say... The Honey Bee's are the most reliable heads in my opinion, we also use Shelburne stripper heads. Next year we're changing our 9R's for the Versitile DT610's and our headers are changing from JD to CLASS lexicon 8900's. It's all about what works for you, not so much the colour or brands. Stay safe...

[@dragefarms9024]

Swtiching from JD to Lexions here too.

[@addimierke9590]

I totally agree with you on the technology. Let’s not over complicate farming. Put it in the ground, it’ll grow. Keep weeds at bay, Harvest it. Nature does the rest!

[@christianbuhlmann7820]

Mike. On your next Q&A. Can you talk about your maintenance or preventative maintenance you do on the belts , chains and hydraulic hoses. Curious to know how often you change those pieces if based on hours, seasons or ad hoc. Thanks

[@gavinperry7237]

Happy Wife, Happy Life !! Case IH is missing out on a “Perfect Advertisement” by not making available a combine for Ashtyn to put through the paces. This could turn out to be a “Wedding Gift” that Ashtyn would treasure for life.😂🤣

[@mikemitchell2554]

Hahah right?! 😂

[@Farmer_phil]

Great vids Mike, you’re on the money with technology, not always the best way to spend it on lots of gimmicks!

[@bradkammer4244]

Farming is becoming over complicated. I’m glad someone else thinks that also.

[@michaelcorcoran1805]

Such a good answer to how much you can get done in a day.

[@farmerstephen]

I agree with you about the phone. I also do KZbin farm videos and I just use my phone. Saves carrying anything extra.

[@stepheneilenfeld1934]

Options are like assholes....Everyone got one. I’m not farmer. But a skilled retired Tool&Die maker. I get it.

[@va3kbc]

Mike...you just made both the wife and I laugh our heads off....all straw and no head!!! Perfect explanation of Trudeau.

[@DEDBRD-di4yj]

Mike, Yall just go every which way, i think I saw you on the wrong side of the border the other day. 😂 Keep doing what your doing man, its entertaining. Some of these farming channels are not near as entertaining as the use to be .

[@randallmidgley7589]

😂, I can always rely on your frank and insightful replies, breath of fresh air brother, I have filed the strawman reply😂😂😂

[@jeffyoung2089]

Thanks Mike!

[@cr4zyj4ck]

Love your videos Mike. Thanks for letting us all see inside your head and how y'all run your farms up in Saskatchewan.

[@mikemitchell2554]

Haha you're welcome, tho it's a scary place to be! 😂 🤷‍♂️

[@maxpower9499]

Cheers Mike! Been patiently waiting for the combine shootout, sounds like it's coming. Hope they get you a Lime one to try.

[@Forsvik78]

Greetings from Finland.You have awesome farm.Keep up good work! Have you ever tested Valtra T4 tractors?

[@michaelfair9336]

Hey can you go over the Mod that prevents the combines from plugging up When you get the 9T upgraded? Show us the part difference? Thanks! Love the videos keep it up!
