Been thinking a lot about jay lately. The caption where it says see you on The flip side, takes on a whole new meaning. I’ll never forget this day

[@mikemitchell2554]

So true..

[@travishildebrandt975]

@@mikemitchell2554 I was driving jays Pete this winter pulling drills until I had to go seeding. Trained a new guy. His name is dylan. he’s been doing great! I’ll put my reputation on the line if you ever need another guy to pull anything in the future.

[@harezy]

Fair play for being so calm and good. But best of all understanding that things happen, no one was hurt apart from pride and the wallet. Not all farmers are like you as I know too well. Well done to all involved in moving the absolute colossal beast of a thing !!!

The best to you and your beautiful wife . Take good care of her. Have a great day.

It was kind of nice to see the old 1050 again. I know it doesn't suit your needs on the farm, but it is a cool tractor.

[@edwinhsingmaster9135]

Very polite of you to show these kinds of situations, the liability is over the top. Hope you fellow farmers take note, and save themselves such grief. Have a great Thanksgiving, and Merry Christmas. 🙏 from Origun, USA The Beaver State

Great attitude Mike. Could have been so much worse and no point in freaking out. You and the family stay healthy and safe from Ponoka Alberta Canada 🇨🇦

[@garylarue6501]

Good Morning Mike! I have seen my share of farm equipment accidents, but this is a first of this type! Looking at the damage from our angle, it looks mostly cosmetic. That could be straitened and welded, ground down and painted; or you could put a nice patch over the whole area. We deal with fog all the time, and it's the pits! The best wishes, and GOD BLESS OUR FARMERS! Without our farmers, this world would be a VERY hungry place! Gary

Glad you got out of that situation with only a few minor scratches. Like you said; it could have been much worse. Hi to mommy Ashton. I remember how my wife was feeling at Ashton's stage. Crazy appetite stuff, very funny and curious. I never did understand sour dill pickles and crunchy peanut butter. It was a great time in our life. I hope it is for both of you two also.

You’re lucky for several reasons: experienced driver to transport the seeder, it happened in Swift Current and your Fendt wasn’t sold yet.

Exact same thing happened west of Rosetown two weeks ago. Same size cart.

I got a little excited when I saw all those Gleaners lined up at the dealer.

Tank will spring a leak in the future just before a rain storm, far from the shop. Just like the straps repair it now and save time later. Mike's super smart so I think he already plans to repair it.

Great attitude, Mike - just like how I would see it. As far as accidents go - this is peanuts, if even that. Swerving that auger in traffic could even result in injuring or killing someone, so I think your transporter must have been a good one to see it so soon. Dents like that happen in a split second. Top content, and thanks for sharing some mishaps, that´s how we all learn.

Two things to take from that. One nobody was killed and two it’s only cosmetic damage it’s not going to hurt your pocket anymore than a hundred dollars to repair. Both only minor details in the grand scheme of things.

That 1050 has been at the dealer since at least august, seen it when i drove through. Glad they let you utilize it to fix your predicament.. Enjoy the wind tomorrow, swift suppose to get 106km winds tomorrow, we aren't suppose to get that much.

[@barneyshort8227]

Good people all round in the farming theater. Respecting the situation all round and all new good intentions were always the priority. Yes no one was hurt was the top priority!!

[@tony-the-tigerjohns3294]

Mike, I was giving some thought to the cattail burning in a previous video. If you had a way to press them down so that the material was more compact they would burn without your having to combine them. (Which I thought was hilarious btw.) The roller that you use on some planted crops would press them down nicely but I am afraid it would do the job too well and just press them into the soil. You could also try something like a piece of railroad rail or steel pipe if you have it and just drag it over the cattails. As for the damage to your drill, like you said the glass is half full if not 9/10ths full. Only minor cosmetic damage and no one got hurt. I love watching your “adventures”, they make me long to be a young man again!

[@gungadin6889]

Thanks to Travis as well, he did do a short cameo here on KZbin but the comment seems to have been deleted. Still some got to see you, and thank you for being that helpful neighbor when stuff happens!

I'm thinking a case of barley pop and tank of gas is due him.

[@ke6gwf]

I was in shock when you walked up to the Fendt. I have never seen another tractor that I like the design of so much! I don't really like Green or Red too many little stupid designs, love Yellow on the construction side, but now I will never be satisfied with anything else! Lol The air drill gave me a similar feeling of awe, that I would enjoy operating or maintaining it. I am out in California, so not much chance of me finding anything that big lol, but I was driving in fog like that several days recently. Not fun. Guess I will have to watch more of your videos to see what other cool equipment you have!

[@reimerdairy7080]

[@larrykluckoutdoors8227]

[@VaupellGaming]

03:30 haha dirty tractors, heck you should see those we have here, they run almost 24/7 a season, people switching crews, different people in and out, then the mechanic in and out, ohh suddenly we are drilling but then you have to go and do liquid manure, then back to drilling and even a new tractor after around 1 season they look like 10 year old. I guarantee you do not wan't to take your shoes off in those. But nice video, thanks for sharing.

Jay has a u-joint going out, squeaking when he pulled away from the drill.

Unreal Tractor. Not a farmer enjoy it tho. Whats with the double wheels? Is it for weight distribution not to damage the ground?

Perhaps worth just throwing some weld into the big dent to make sure there's no cracks, grind it down, and give it a shot of paint to stop the rust? Fortunately that thing looks darn tough and shrugged it off for the most part!

You got lucky that it did not break through the sidewalk.i have pulled drills in my trucking days I always had straps on .but I pulled I don't now how many and never had an issue but I wonder how many this driver pulled in his career?.

[@waggtech4883]

A minor incident really. Nobody was hurt but some feelings and a little paint! Locally last week we had two teenagers meet a combine moving between fields without the header on a blind curve without an escort. The car collided under the feeder housing with two fatalities to the occupants of the car which also caught fire along with the combine. Bad deal all around. The operator of the combine walked away from the accident.

[@brackoncorbridge1966]

Your driver did just what he should be doing checking on the load/drill ever so oven to prevent damage to the load or others.
