Mike & Who? @ CPS 

Love our claas axion 930 from 2013 most reliable tractor we ever had 12,500 hours in never had any repairs to either engine or gearbox most expensive thing is we renovated the front axle.

Great video Mike. Glad to see Lee again. Mike’s not the only one that misses you buddy we do too.

mike I think lee should come and demo a class combine at your place this year that would be good ,good to see the banter between you two

We made the moulds for the main track wheels on that Claas half-track here at AM Tooling in Denmark 😁

Mike its time to test some of the Class Equipment out in the field to see how it performs. Would be nice to see you try the Versatile range too.

Good to see Lee again. It's just like he never left.

Love to see the back & forth banter between Mike & Lee

You need to get a claas combine out on demo this harvest

Terra track is very smooth. On that tractor you can lift or lower back of tractors, That track has suspension.

Lee is trying to sell the product and Mike keeps pointing out what's bad and what's probably not good,lmao. Mike still has the bossy relationship with Lee.

Glad to see Lee. Like seeing a old friend. Does he miss plowing snow with Ernie?

To answer the question regarding the auto greaser and what if lines are blocked, at 16:15 you can see the the 2 blocks for the lube system (connected by the hoses), the left one looks to be an progressive valve which is basically an mechanical divider for lubricants (or liquids in general). Basically a progressive valve only lets a specific amount of grease out of one port at a time and after a specific amount has been dispensed through the port the valve moves onto the next port, this avoids the issue of "if one line is restricted then it gets nothing" because a specific amount MUST go through. But if one port is blocked then all of them are blocked (unless there are relief valves installed) but these valves can be fitted with a sensor that indicate when a valve has gone through a full cycle but yeah that brings us to "yet another sensor" situation. Also manual indicators for blockages do exists.

That small flip open tray in front of the controls is for toll booth change 😁. Always love your content Mike, never miss a vid.👍

On the grease banks, you need to hook up a grease gun to it in the off season and run grease through it and check each place where the come out. Worked with a guy at John Deere that did that on choppers in his inspection work. Was very thorough in checking to make sure all was working properly.

Great to see Lee again! I hope he’ll come by sometime on your farm :) maybe a day in a (class demo) combine :)

Nice to see Lee again. We missed him. Love the vids Mike keep em coming 👌

I ran the first claas combine back in the day when they first came to Canada , my brother in law bought one from Littles Implements in vermilion ab

Hey Mike, wondering if you heard that Big Bud is back with a 640 - 750hp tractor with a Caterpillar drive train? 70,000 lb frame. Beyond that customized to what the farmer wants . Rome MFG building it for Big Equipment Co. Supposed to be one at the conex/conag show in Vegas in March.

Videos keep flooding in. Thanks :)

Entertaining, thank you.

Good to see Lee!

The steering wheel on that combine looks like it belongs on Chapels Tonka toy!

Nice to see Lee again hopefully he comes around!

Awesome video

I saw the lexion last year at the ag show in Louisville KY last year really nice machine.

Nice looking tractor

Mike I appreciate the frequency of your videos. Keep it up. Well done.

I can recall Mike talking about a fridge light wrecking his night vision and thus he favoured the subtlety of the fridge operation indicator LED inside the unit rather than door operated light.

Lee, the brother from another mother 😂 👌🏼🇬🇧

That little compartment on the Claas combine is an ashtray. The serrated part on the left internal side is for stubbing cigarettes out.

M A N is correct Greetings from Munich Germany

Hey Mike, you should really test one of these puppies. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

LOL 4:47, turn massage seat on now. Too funny!

Cmon Mike ,help your buddy out and order 6. All you'll need.

Mike there's two types of people those that have a Claas and those that wish they had a Claas. 🤣🤣🤣

Good to see you two, starting up your comedy routine again. That tray is for your chewing gum, instead of putting it under the seat. I'm surprised your wife let you out in public, especially with Lee.

Magnifique vidéo et le claas 930 à chenille et la moissonneuse batteuse claas

I wouldn't go knocking that Claas Combine, it will run rings around anything else

well, Mike, that is the first time i have seen you enter a tractor without taking your sneakers off... 😊😊

Hey Mike. Love the videos and watching you farm. Have a look at a fellow youtuber Ollyblogs who just toured the Class factory and had a look through a 2023 model. Some great footage.

Love your videos, fun to see the difference off what we european think is important and what you americans prefer.😎

Mike, The Claas Xerion tractors are made in Germany. All other models are made in France at the old Renault Ag plant. They use Fiat Power Train (Iveco) engines the same as Case IH and New Holland. I remember you mention once a problem with engine failures on red equipment. Just FYI.

How cool they put an ashtray

I think that small flip out compartment in front of the control arm is for your cigarette buts

RE: fridges - in my experience, just take a calzone from a conoco in 2001 Lone Wolfe Oklahoma, set it on the buddy seat(of a TR99), and feast for breakfast, lunch and supper, and be happy. BE HAPPY MIKE, those memories need to last you past the last of white gravy country, until you get to the Tastee freeze in Circle MT.

Mike the man with the string and weight is making sure the pole is 90 degrees from horizontal to ensure less problems in future … the man had a (plum bob) in English.

That has to be a hard sell to you on that Claas Mike, you had almost no issues with the machine😂

Hi Mike. It's nice to see Lee again. As for the secret box at 9:29 in this video, it looks a lot like the ashtray in European machines. Cars tractors ect. Nice video keep it up. I really like this.

How about the new 2023 Big Bud Mike?

The little box thingy in front of the arm rest is a ash tray.

Your hiding spot for Lee's candy is most likely an ash tray?

half a finger ashtray damn thats gonna be filled quick after a days work😆

There seem to be two solutions to the seat sensor problem. 1) Bridging with a resistor, 2) Adding some foam in the seat. ZK Mastertech channel did show how to do that. Can't find the correct video.

MAN stands for Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, we finished the diesel engine for rudolf diesel as he ran out of funds…

Ahh good times, takes me back to the crop show where I get to look at equipment I can’t afford lol. 😂 But I would take that new New Holland combine they had there, twin rotor life.

The steering wheel telescopes. Undo centre of wheel like older JD tractors.

My sympathies Lee! 😆

The little door in front of the console is an ashtray.

Claas are great. Not my money but I would def buy one over other brands. They are fairly popular down here in US

Lee should hook you up with a claas demo at the north farm maybe he can run it beside the x9

You’re hilarious

The MAN engine is probably one of the best on the market

i got to test one the damn good but it has one problem the hitch if you use a Euro style one it sits so far it it limits your turning circle its not bad with the pin hitch like what that has but it realy needs to have the whole hitch section move back like the JD 8RX. also its time there controls where updated there not bad but once you use a Fendt One system the others feel lacking.

Last time we saw Lee was on the north farm on a toilet...

Speaking of the new combine, Mike, did you think about Nexat maybe?

He can pull the sausage off your bread! 💪🏻

MAN =Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg, so Mike says it corectly. Rudolf Diesel invented the Diesel engine working vor MAN

This is a dangerous situation 😳

Those tracks are really smooth

9:33 It is an ashtray.

Wee all need a class xerion & lexion on your side 🤗

Xerion is unique platform, of course you could use it as puller, but there are porbably better machines out there. But can you put 6000 or 8000l seed tank on 1050 or Quad track? No, you can't. Also unique is crab steer or reversible cabin, rigid frame. Would I buy it? Porbably no as i don't have use case for it.

Seen you at the kicking around the fendt booth when we were there! Lol oh your question on the auto greaser if there is a plug or a line malfunction it will tell you on cebis screen also you can manually grease the machine from a port by the auto greaser canister.

Claas are proper machines

The end of the armrest "candy space" i think it is for ash if you smoke

If I ever want to sell a combine in North America, I´ll make sure to really litter that cab with cup holders. Every available space would contain a cup holder. You guys would never even consider another combine after that ;D

Good call for Claas: When it's working

John Deere cabs suck. ALL of them!!

Are you going to demo one come harvest this year now that you've got insider access?

That steering wheel wouldn’t last 5 mins vs Dougo Larson.

It's definitely a pill holder, bro. Drugs!

Your "Secret Compartment" is an ashtray...easily recognizable by the ridges used to put out your cigarette

Why are the rear tires on backwards on the claas combine? The tread is facing the wrong way.

9:40 Oh come on,how do you not know this?It's for holding coins. Essential when going through maccas drive throughs and highway toll gates 😆

MAN Maschinenenfabrk (enginefactory) Augsburg (small town near Munich) Nürnberg (Nuremberg)

😀🇨🇦

Mike, you never commented on your nemesis the windshield wiper on the combine.

Hey I meant to ask were you affected by the floods?

The fridges on the John Deere’s (X9 and S series) are openable from the front and top, by putting up your buddy seat.. I personally wouldn’t like the only way for me to get my sodas to tell my buddy to get up.. just my opinion..

Sorry to say, but Lee hasn’t that much knowledge about the machine. Steering column is telescopic, just pull the same lever for knicking towards you. The lever goes both ways. And about the safety rail upside; you are supposed to walk on the rear bonnet. There is nothing there, you saw the sticker by the way. Just pull a simple lever and the whole green bonnet on the right side is turning into a safe walk path with side rails. The same thing by the engine compartment, there are also integrated footsteps to walk inside the grain storage compartment. Yeah, with side rails of cours. The side panels are steel, not fancy plastic. OK the fuel tank is plastic, that is true, because of weight issues. But there is an integrated safety technique for that: the engine cooler is horizontal placed and takes it’s fresh air from upside. That means, there is always fresh air floating from upside to the ground, also behind the panels. This keeps your machine ‘clean’, keeps the dust on the ground and prevents overheating. What other brand has that nice feature?! Just don’t judge a machine in two minutes and over a fancy cupholder. The machine has so much nice und unique technique to offer, let some with knowledge explain it to you..

Holy crap Mike did you drink a 6 pack of red bull before this lol

Z K Master tech on you tube has a fix for your John Deere seat problem

Mike you are a squirl LOL Let Lee answer a question. Other than that good video

Do I hear a LeeXion demo?

Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg (M.A.N)

Nice to see Lee Again. Some of the Claas Combine parts looked like afterthoughts. Auto greasing system looks nice but I agree it would be hard to verify if everything was working properly or you had one or two grease lines plugged up. Thanks for the video, Mike.

Its an ash tray (little compartment)

Wait for the rumored Deere 9rx with 1000 hp and e ivt

I am German. It is definetly pronounced „Emma A Enn“.

Serect cubby is an ashtray lol to go with your cigarette lighter 🤣
