I don't comment often as there are lots of "experts" with lots to say. Good on you Mike. Manufacturers need input like this to improve their products. Wizzing around for a couple of hours in a field behind the factory isn't going to cut it. I started watching your channel because of the new Fendt combine. I appreciate the no holds barred review. If Fendt or Agco doesn't like it...well too bad. Sounds like Agco is doing what they can to maintain a good relationship with a larger than average customer. Keep the reviews coming Mike, I for one watch for the honesty. TOG out!!

@goodiezgrigis 2 года назад

Well, hate to brake it to you, but larger than average costumer is a bit bold to say. Maybe in youtube realm, IRL I've seen dozens fleets from buisness/farms with 10-20+ combines when I was visiting my relatives in Canada. (And i checked, it wasn't a dealership lot 😂) Not to mention my shock of fertile plains in south of Russia and their domestic giant machines, Mike would have a heart attack from that black dirt.

Mike, I agree with the fridge, I think there should be a rule where every piece of large equipment has the option for an included fridge and if there's still enough room throw in a small microwave or warmer to heat up your lunch or dinner. To many people don't realize how much time we spend in these machines, good majority of us live in these combines or tractors more than we do our homes

@Bill-NBfarming 2 года назад

Engineering emphasis on modern farm equipment has been focused too much on electrical/computer technology and not near enough on structure/function. Components are engineered to use the minimum amount of steel and cast iron. Also I wonder sometimes if the quest for larger more productive machines to reduce labor has exceeded the cost advantage over having more operators. Each breakdown with large machines takes out a huge percentage of your production. More smaller machines wouldn’t be as critical when one was down. With a year like this one these issues really hurt when you have to consider the cost of these machines. I don’t know how you do it. Prayers for a better year next year.

@lt1nut 2 года назад

A good case can be made for smaller combines that at least do not need a human on board, "preferably" autonomous. I've read a comment(s?) in a forgotten channel(s?) that the Mfgs are aware of that and it is being actively pursued. Sadly that's the extent of my knowledge on this topic.

@helifixer206 2 года назад

Love your videos and you perspective on the equipment. I had a good laugh when you said a 10 year old header was really old... I haven't farmed for a long time but I rarely got to operate a piece of equipment that wasn't at least 20 years old. But, I couldn't even imagine covering the amount of acres you guys can get through in a day now, that Fendt is quite a bit different than a turbo 7700 LOL. It is a different world with the new equipment. Thanks for all your hard work feeding the world!

If Fendt was serious about developing combines for Western Canada they would have a team of Fendt engineers camped out in Mike's field for the duration of harvest. And they'd be developing and testing SOLUTIONS during the harvest. There is no better test environment. And let me let you in on a little secret: Mike's crop conditions are easy peasy compared to up north where there is more rainfall, more straw, higher yields and the crop is often taken off damp or tough.

You either went to bed worrying how you were going to fix the problem the next morning, or what was going to break down the next day. You said it so correct ... you need 10 combines to keep 7 going. I agree it doesn’t matter the colour they are all great when they work, but some just to seem to have more troubles then others. I don’t know how you keep your cool. Behind the scenes I’m sure the steam starts to boil. You have all the right to get upset.

Hi Mike we had a similar problem with O rings on our Liebarr hydraulic cranes when we had them and the problem ended up being a combination of the hydraulic cooler not being big enough and us not blowing them out with air or a pressure washer actually works better it will flush the dirt out and carry it away better than air. I rings don’t like heat we never blew them in the winter which is surprising considering the pressure exerted on them when you fire them up at -10 or -20 F and you start working the hydraulics too warm up the rams and the fluid

It’s been long time in commenting from me, First congrats you Mike n Ashtyn on having Chapel 👍 Second, over time n learning from history n with combines it’s no different. If you look at CaseIH they have put lot of money n talent to get where they today n just like Gleaner both are successful, some models like 230/240 have a lot wear parts but harvesting record t/hr. With Fendt it’s growing pains n push envelope of harvesting but it doesn’t take genesis to add fridge or tailor made servicing for a combine. Buying NH could solve your problem but might be problem for someone else like having problems which here we only know one farmer who has NH combine in the district.

Maybe the Germans are starting to struggle with the physical quality of the machines.. maybe focusing too much on the electrical components to make the machine smarter rather than focusing on reliability?

The problems with the Fendt ideal combine is small potatoes. One thing is for sure is they have the thrashing machine perfected (ie. a clean sample with next to nothing for loses out the back).

Great video Mike, you should demo a class 8900 or the older 770 or 780, great combines

@jojodat8794 2 года назад

He would, but 8900 isn't available in North America

@@jojodat8794that's annoying, we have a 770 here in Ireland and we find nothing can compare to it.

@@harryconlon3244 I watched a Grassmen video not long ago where a farmer had both a (i believe) 770 and a similar New Holland, and the NH slightly outperformed the Claas every day (i'm assuming on productivity).

@harryconlon3244 2 года назад

@@Rx37Legacy ya I seen that too, suppose depends on condition, all combines have the crop they like, just what works for you.

One day it'd be cool for you to break down your farm. All the Acers and different between the home far or up north

Great video. I'm not a farmer but I live in a farming area so I see the many equipment colors. It's cool because when I would take my son out we would play what's that color? What's tge brand. He loved to say Gleener. Anywho I think your honesty is justified and obviously you buy a ton of equipment. I'm sure Ideal was frothing at the mouth when you guys started buying these things. But you hit the nail on the head with the shower scenario. So thanks for that I was laughing pretty hard at that one. Just because Fendt stickers are on the side doesn't mean your getting quality like a tractor.

I just wish they would do things the way they used too. Things now days aren't built to be easily repaired if you haven't taken a class on how to repair them, good luck. It's sad when you're mostly buying the warranty not the machine.
