First Day of Harvest 2024! 

😆 It becomes less passive and more aggressive as videos and harvest drag on. Haha

@@mikemitchell2554my brother in law has 2new x9 at dealer. They say no trucks to bring ‘em. Weird

​@richardradawetz8788 i had to drive one of our combines home because the dealer said it would be a week or more to haul them. Terrible.

Yous must be going thru a lot of fertilizer. Try ferting around 60, thou acres of crops.

@@John-nc4bl You don't know much about agriculture outside the USA, do you? German farmers use significantly less fertilizer and spray less than their counterparts in the US.

​@gerhardma4297 ya i doubt that, but they also have amazing land over there and tons of rain to grow great crops

You didn't get it Right. Mike told them when he probably was going to need his combines. Now instead of August 10 he needs it in July. It's Mike's fault.

Amen I agree with you it’s so refreshing not listening to that type of language.

Amen 🙏🏼

Yes I agree with you, we are all having serious problems with the labour shortages and I am not real sure what the fix is there 🤷🏼‍♂️.. Unfortunately to hinder things even more, I believe Pattison has bitten off alittle more than they can chew.

@@mikemitchell2554 It is the dealer. Same issue at his flagship store on the east side of the province. 26 million dollar building doesn't make a dealership. It is a bad joke to be honest.

@@mikemitchell2554 He went chasing some of the biggest fish (and can't deliver) and unfortunately, it's left the rest of his customers scrambling.

It's nothing to do with Deere. It's his dealership.

​@@dustinb9105if the combines had been done in February it wouldn't be an issue. It's time for all of you to quit peeing on Deere and the dealership and put the blame squarely on Mike's shoulders. Mike didn't plan on the harvest season to start early.

You're right, I accept the blame for not calling the dealership weekly to push on getting those combines and headers. I suppose I thought when deal was signed in January and they were delivered in February, I thought they would have put them through their shop without me hounding on them. Unfortunately I was mistaken

​@@delbutler885 are you working for John Deere?? 😂

@@mikemitchell2554Let's hope there is no major delays on getting the required parts once your combines & headers actually get looked at. With the unfortunate lower prices on the harvested product this year it would be a shame if some yields were lost due to lack of equipment to get crops off in a timely manner. Having access to Terry's combine hopefully helps with the stress level.

What does green light ready mean?

@@Jehty_ greenlight is basically harvest ready check, on stuff like bearings, common ware parts, oil change and updates

@@Jehty_ Its a checklist the dealer performs to ensure the combine is field ready and they will fix anything not right. They also will warranty if something happens after on new equipment.

​@@Jehty_ its a fancy way of squezing more money out of farmers. John deere at its best.

​@@darodaredevilyou don't have to have Deere do a green light on your equipment. It must be a good enough deal for Mike. He has to t done at the dealership not at home

Same for me,funny to see that

Probably Patrons that get content early

Video posted on Friday for patron people then released public today

I noticed that too, unless Ashtyn has a secret donut addiction that we're unaware of? 😂🤣😂

That’s probably because he lifted the header to avoid hitting a rock or a mount of dirt. The loss of crop is certainly not worth the damage a rock or dirt could do to the combine or header

Probably already got their money and don’t care now or Deere has stuff back ordered and dropped the ball.

Af 11 and your opinion on the new S series combines jd put out would be nice

In case Mike doesn't respond basically it is just taking your equipment in to be checked out and they do repairs if it is necessary to make the equipment field ready. JD dealer then sticks a sticker on saying it's green lighted.

I’ve been battling tires on everything this summer. I think the heat and cheaper quality tires haven’t mixed well this year.

yeah i dont know how they pay everything with 3 years of basically having no crop.

Both Valtera and Edge in the bad spots

I would have never gone back to Deere after the X ran like a deere (video).

When did you take a day off for that 😂

Maybe?

They went on holiday to Hawaii. It rained all the time. Guess the only thing they could do was boom boom.

the compaction of a loaded semi is far greater then that of a grain cart or combine. The Semi trucks don't leave the shoulder of the field for not only that but also it's too hard trucks and trailers to be driving them the fields. We don't even allow pickup trucks to drive across the fields.

@@mikemitchell2554 Mike, thanks for your reply. Some grain carts are heavier when loaded that a loaded semi. Its just as easy driving a semi on a long straight row and it in no big deal turning when a few 50 foot passes have been cut. Bullhooey, I've seen pickups & maintenance drive across stubble.

@@John-nc4bl no worries, I always enjoy visiting 🙂 Perhaps, but our semi's don't I guess 🤷🏼‍♂️ Our pickups don't either for 1: fire risk is extreme, 2: gopher & badger holes (its a mine field out there) , 3: washouts Some guys might do that, but we don't, 🙂

@@mikemitchell2554 Mount like a 'skid' plate under the pickups cat. converter and muffler or some of Elon Musks Starship heat shield tiles- 😊 to preclude a fire wiping out one of those 6,000 acre wheat fields. Have you seen Trevor Struthers latest video titled, 'Tractors fighting fire - Combine lost' in the Palouse. That dude makes impressive videos worth seeing.

@@John-nc4bl How about not trying to teach Mike how to farm. He has done this for years.

Likely significantly less than 47

@@GreatLakesLoggerWouldn’t be surprised if it is $0.47 per pound.
