First Day of Harvest 2023! 

Equipment has changed since 1985 we didn’t have to call a technician to work on our stuff, we did it ourselves. Oklahoma wheat farmer here, that’s why I talk funny. Thank you Sir for your video

You're so talented at making entertaining videos. This one was perfect!

Have a blue tarp for each machine, and Bungee cords for securing it. 1:42

At new ~$1Million+ machined sure has a lot of levers and manual adjustments. I had to search out Mike's videos because RU-vid stopped showing them in my feed, now I see them once watching a bunch. It's still amazing how much food you guys produce even in a drought.

I cannot wait to see what you harvest next

The big question is did you go to Princess auto and get a tarp for everybody so the flash rain event won’t happen again???

4:59 I have often wondered 🤔 about grounding static electricity ⚡️ I’ve never seen anyone point out the ground cable! Thank you Mike! You truly are a wonderful Teacher and Brother!! God be with you and all our Farmers!❤️🖖🏼🇺🇸

Thumbs up on this years lentil crop Mike 👍👍

Good luck combining your 2023 crops at your south farm Mike

You could buy open end ratcheting wrench and use it on that turnbuckle. It will be much faster that 13 years haha

Good luck Mike. Go Mike, go harvest 23 !.

Enjoyed very much

Started on the 4th of August here. Hour south of your north farm. Lentils ran good, working on wheat. Happy harvesting.

Great video Mike

Stay safe this fall Mr. Mike and crews !

They’re awesome in corn.

Good luck Mike👍💪

Good harvest to you guys mike, here on south america we are starting combining white oats, with the wheat coming ready on two weeks.

the claas machines have taller bubble up augers then most of the other machines.. makes it more feasible to fill the bin

A 1500% increase would be awesome if it were not such a low starting number. But it is better than a 1500% reduction. Have a safe harvest Mike!

Thank you good sir for the video 🙂

Really happy to hear about your semi awesome yield!

I live and work in the city but like to get out and try and see some harvesting action. Don't get to see alot or up close so thankful for your videos Mike.

all the best brother

Would be great to see a claas lexion out on demo. Compare it to the JD.

Grain tank full every 1 mile in corn here in the Midwest.

Go Mike, go harvest 23 !

I’ve Been waiting for this video title🎉😂

Hoping for an awesome harvest and no burning combines/Mikes favorite hat!

For 5 extra feet I think I'd stick with the hydraflex.

Mike u can use auto maintain now with your cameras once u are happy with sample hit the auto maintain button it will keep your sample the same any time day or night cheers

I think you need a wind system on your headers

Crazy to have a sensor holding you hostage to running. Kind of reminds me of computer work when companies off shore the computer support, now the off shored company holds your company hostage.

Get it deleated and tuned at TM AG Tuning

Yes sir

Best of luck Mike

Got to looking good

Good Info mike

$250,000 header alone n Mother Deere can’t put a $50 electric over hydraulic actuator on that turnbuckle??? 😂😂😂

Good work Tractor 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜❤❤❤❤

Hello Mike 🌾👨‍🌾👋👋🤝🇮🇹

John Deere needs to use voice commands to set combine. "Hey million dollar combine, set for lentils". And off you go😅

Mike time to till some of the ground to get some water retention in the fields? third year in a row with sub par harvest.

On my old Massey combine I figured that it was impossible to set the sieves and the fan unless you could maintain a somewhat constant quantity of crop feeding through the machine in the thin spots of the field I would have to speed up the groundspeed to maintain the flow or the fan would blow grain out the back or if you reduced fan speed for the thin crop the sample would be dirty in the heavy spots of the field so I would have to slow down and adjust my speed by judging how much crop was coming on the head....the only in cab adjustment I had was cylinder speed and concave clearance.............my question is do these new machines automatically make these fan and sieve adjustments by what the sensors are seeing ????

Morning

Have you considered an air system pro's con's your thought's cost and would you get it back on a good year 😊

Hey Mike.... bottom left of the screen, youll see " Set up " ..... saves all the button smashing.

Rain there last night (Aug 21 today). 1/4” here south of weyburn. Came all night

Good look from israel👍

Sometimes it is better to do it the IBM way. “it’s better manually”.

Flag is looking good. 12:00

HEY MIKE QUESTIONS: how long did it take you this year to make back your seed??? did you ''get profitable'' this year??? you don't have to ''liquidate'' sum stuff (OTHER THAN STUFF YOU GREW FOR SALE) cuz you did not get profitable ENUF???? there were like 5 others but I hit enter here... JOY LOVE COMPASSION

hi Mike. Why do you need anti-static in Lentils? Fire protection more of a problem in Lentils? Another fascinating video.

❤❤❤❤

Use macdon header you’ll pick up 5 bushels more

But Mike, everything looks pretty shiny, for now. But Mike, you should be happy, you're going to double, your bushels.

Mike, can u fold down your hopper with them hopper extensions on?

I'm sure John Deere probably sells like a buckle wrench/ratchet for at least $200 🤣

Well, at least you can't haul off an entire section's crop with just one SuperB! Those 1 bu/ac crops were rough watching much less being the farmer.

You should attach electric motors to those turn buckles.

What's better for your rotation and region? Wetter tending acres or Sandy fields? Gumbo or nicer areas? 5:06

Magnifique moissonneuse batteuse x9 1000 et la coupe et bien équipés pour le plat 😂😮😊

So how does it hold? We all want to know. 😊

Given that premium increases have a direct correlation with insurance claims isn’t there a strong probability that some operations will be priced out of the market?

Sometimes I think Mike is on crack! Maybe all the time! LOL

Mike i have a question; do u already see the benefit of these jd headers?

We had three five tens and a 750

They cheapen the header with mechanical flex to increase profits and also put the price up to further increase profits. Remember 15billion for the year so far😅

👋😊

What's up with that static electricity thing for lentils?

Good Ole government fluid problems. Does Def even help the environment after the production of the fluid, the production and manufacturing of the def systems, packaging, shipping, and extra fuel used? Can you even ask that question without being blacklisted by social media?

Mike,how many thousand dollars does the glass breaker costs in that combine?

Mike i have a question. What is that line under that Canadian flag on combines?

Why wouldn't you put the header down on the ground to relieve pressure so you could turn the turnbuckles easily?

Mark has a nice flag on his combine, Canadian/Dutch, I wonder if his brother Rick has the same flag. 😉 Greets from the Netherlands.

Hey Mike off of the subject of farming. Really impress with the little league team from Regina Sacatuwan.8-21-23

No video of the convoy leaving out of the shop yard

might have still enough time for some garbonzo peas

mike, were you doing donuts in the combine before you started recording? wheels on full lock hahaha

What happened with Deere? What Engineer thought to themselves, "let's eliminate 40 years of progress by going back to a mechanical flex header"?

Why do you take your shoes off every time you get in the combine?

Wait Mike......I have a question.....can you elaborate on the ground cable that you tossed out?

Hey Mike are you going to agritechnica this year?

Mike what are you favorite tractor😂

Mike have you seen either of the new Case or JD high horse power quad's that don't require def?

Hi Mike I wish to work with you ❤

Thanks for the video. Couple of questions do you still take your britches off when you’re on the combine? Also will your wife let you go commando with your britches off on the combine? Lol! Thanks for the video really do. And since of humor. By the way commando means no Underwear. Not sure if Canadians get that or not but first I’ve heard of not wearing a britches in the field.

How can you make payments on a million-dollar combine with such a short crop?

Dose Mouther Deer sell anything for $25 ?.

Did he say he was in flex mode?

splits are costly

Million dollar combine and it can be held up by a sensor....man things are so complicated these days

I’d rather wind those turn buckles around , than dig the arse out on the ideal’s 10 times a day

How do you afford all that new equipment with poor crops

You have had 3 bad years of crops, you keep buying new equipment, buying, renting more land. how do these economics work?????

Too bad the Fendt combines did not work out. I was hoping Deere would have some serious competition. Monopolies are not good for anyone.

Aug 12? Its 21 aug here

I'm being chased around by drone

Look at the size of that head 😍

Who is in the combine with the North Korean flag, Kim Jong Un ?😁
