We need more Mike Mitchell videos please, some of us are beginning to feel the effects of withdrawal & although we still get the occasional fix it's just not enough Mike. We've even tried other farming channels but they just don't hit the spot, so come on Mike & serve us up the good stuff, you know we're good for it & you always have the best videos!
So are you worried about the loss in horse power. From what you have stated you need more in some cases. Now Tony fast pulls a hundred for drill with a 580, but he did up the horse power. Will you do that or would that void warranty and potential trade in price once the 715 arrives. I would love to know about this if you don't mind.
Mike, I appreciate ur hard work putting these clips together. Every day I look to see if Mike has put out another one. Keep them coming please. Thanks again. 👍
Wanted to wish you and your family's a Happy and safe Holidays. Like you have said in the past, each piece of equipment has its good and bad quirks. It's what works for your farm. Green, red, or whatever. It's the bottom line, Profits.
Good looking tractor Mike. The 715 will be good to see when it comes but for now I look forward to your reviews of the 580's. Your reasons / method makes sense, thanks for going over the details so that we all understand what's up.
On the right hand side next to the 1200 monitor is a mount where we put a ram ball and monitor. We really like having them right next to each other. Only complaint we have on the new 580 is it won’t out pull the old 535. But the cab and ride is WAY better
@@austinszafranski8548the 535 are about the best tractor steiger ever made. New enough to have all the electronics but old enough to be pre-emission, have two of them.
Mike, I think the real selling point for Big Bud, is that it doesn’t have to be serviced by the dealer. Anyone can work on them, and the parts can be ordered or fabricated. Welkers fix their stuff in their shop. Others have a mechanic of choice. I’d bet your dealers could even work on it. But if none of that works for you…you know what works for you.
@kcgibbs yeah they are they've had a couple at farm shows already with more being built. They are not for sale yet but they are open for order I think don't quote me on that
@@cartergoettle7751No they are not being built. The prototypes at farm shows aren’t even close to operational. They have to be winched on and off the trailer
Lol! why would want to wrench on your tractor when its new??? the reason of buying new tractor is for warranty work, cause the moment one of this went down (if you calculate loss revenue while this tractor is down + your time to fix + parts) its a big chunk of money... Like anything in this world. if you didnt buy that equipment on specific dealer ship, you wont get a priority fixing it
That exhaust system is huge. Talk about a visibility block. One thing I like that Claas did on there new Xerion 12 series is hid all that exhaust junk underneath and the pipe comes out the side
Sweeeeeet wheels man....... She's a workhorse, she'll lean into field-work, no problemo. I think the numbers the Case will produce will be impressive! Good luck Mike. ATB
I came across your channel because of the Fendt 1167, sad it's gone, but I'm excited to hear what's coming, so I'll certainly keep watching! Keep it up!
Damn,now that you announced(even tho i saw that coming) the big boy 715,i think i'm gonna have sleepless nights till the day that beast arrives to your yard.
Very nice mike u and Ashton enjoy those red iron machines as long as the work gets done and as u said good dealer & service the color is secondary they look good.
Hi Mike One thing that you may not know , is that the new one has a financial trick , built into the retail price. It's called "Overvalue" It allows the dealership to manipulate the discount that you would have received on the new one. To give you an example , there is approximately 25% margin added to the dealer net price (DNP). ($800,000 dnp) plus the 25% margin equals 1 million Most dealers only expect about 15% mark up , which leaves $80,000 in the slush fund (OV) to play around with your trade value or to manipulate the financial transaction. We here in Australia, call it funny money. This is why you lose so much value , as soon as you drive it out the door. Why would a dealer trade it back in for any more, than what they can get a brand new one from the factory. $200,000 lost as soon as you sign the document. They sometimes pre-pay the interest on a financial quote to make it look like you are beating the banks on interest rate. It all comes out of the (OV) funny money that you don't realise you are paying.
I appreciate that information, but up here dealers would be lucky to cut out 1 or 2% on new equipment. The money is in parts, service and on used equipment. They get guys to buy fleet (15+ pieces) and Mother Deere or Papa CNH are the ones giving the farmer the discounts. (they are the ones making the money) Then the farmer trades it back after 1 season (500hrs) to the dealer (for another new one) who now buys it on trade to sell used to the next farmer for cheaper still. The first farmer is getting the manufacturer to pay his depreciation and then dealer is still buying it back cheap enough to resell it at fair market value and make more money then if they just sold it new to the 2nd farmer. And we haven't even touched the ice berg of how this type of thing works. 😆
I’ll never go back to tracks. Too many rocks here tracks are like riding a bull 😂. And we’ve been stuck way less with tires. Tires make a mess of field but paddle through tracks you just sit there on top of mud
Here in Europe the first small manufactures start filing for bankrupcy.. But I couldn't image the dealers lowering their prices, because energy and primary ressources are still way up!😢
When you have to wait months to get a piece of equipment, pretty much tells you farmers are still buying at these obscene prices. Why should lower their prices? Until the buying spree stops things won’t change.
I always ran Michelin tyres on my tractors yes more expensive but better grip, ride, tyre life and fuel economy so in the long run an all round winner , and nice to see some red in the field.
If it is Not read leave it in the shed 🎉😊🖖 You are Right dealer Support is Most important. Don’t have a dealer nearby and you won‘t See this Color in the Field also here in good old Europe. Keep on the good work.
If this really was a Game it would be Farming Simulator 24 with the Tax Sign mod. 😂 Get the 715, can't wait to see it work. She's slowly changing the brand makeup 😂. Also you are doing it right, you buy whatever has the dealer you feel has your back, or at least hopefully wouldn't stab you in it.
Mike watch the wires coming off the gps globe, they get sun baked then the covering comes off and they can short or oxidize and fall apart. A good layer of silicone on the harness is a very good idea.
You have to do a performance comparison between the different tire combinations on the 580’s. would be interesting to get your opinion on 46” vs 38” wheels.
Guts are exactly the same as the 620 so pretty easy to boost hp to match or surpass that model. But hearing that a 715 is coming down the pipeline sure is intriguing, tho. 🤔 Case 💪🏼 And let’s be honest, it’s just a much, much nicer looking tractor than any JD product. Looks matter. 😜
Unless you have to have a JD monitor in the cab to run something, I would highly recommend using the pro1200, especially for guidance. I tried using a JD monitor in an AFS Connect 380 and it was the biggest train wreck ever. You know you can make the pro1200 run JD lines if that is what you are after.
Former employer told me a 580 is basically a 620 with just a different computer, they pretty much all the same engine you could tune the 580 to be a 620 if wanted to
And what about the warranty If you do so? I Bet that today there are ways for the Dealer to recognize, If the customer did stuff Like this. For example Storing specific Data in the storage of different parts you might Not think of that they are related to specific Tuning actions....
Various factors for choosing a brand, purchase cost, trade in value, reliability, perceived reliability. The two main factors, the dealer, and what Father had.
Why do you choose to lease most of your equipment? Do you find it’s cheaper than buying everything and selling/ trading it in after 2-3 years or however long your leases are for comparison? Thanks!
