Tractor Fire?... 🔥😬 

Dude, that´s how farmers work! You always help out your neighbour, and the next time they will help you. Season work is stressful enough if you couldn´t count on your friends to help out in times of need.

True story

It sucks his tractor catching fire but at no one was hurt this ole equipment can be replaced but it does make you sick as a dog seeing your stuff burned and people don’t realize how much money it will cost just to replace some parts Mike you putting him in that case he might go to red lol I like Massey but anymore it doesn’t matter what matter is service and parts availability and what type of people they are you all stay safe and keep the good videos coming

John Deere not too expensive to fix? You obviously never owned a John expensive, depending on how much damage was caused by the fire it is not going to be cheap and could easily be nasty. However on the bright side it looks like they are going to have a harvest this season and with the size of their operations it will pay for an awful lot of repairs or a few new machines.

john deeres are always expensive to fix... ask me how i know.

@Andy-ix2ox yep, I owned john deere's.

@@danadams8718 I still own them but I am enough of a realist to know that they are not the only or for a lot of applications the best machines for the job, I was just at the highland show in Scotland and I am seriously considering buying one of the new 6M185 to replace a mf 7718S that needs to be moved on but it will be decided on cost and not colour, I realised decades ago that none of the brands value my loyalty so I decided I was never gonna buy a brand, I was going to buy a product and it has been a pretty good stance from the point of view of value for money ever since. None of them are cheap to repair but I find that JD are inclined to really take the p€&s when it comes to parts, anyway in comparison to the Mitchell’s operation we are only Micky Mouse operators but I suspect most people would feel the same.

Never have i ever heard something similar from any big farms, Deere has the absolute market on europe on big frame tractors for a reason and the biggest farms on the world also, dont know about what generations you are talking about but in terms of pulling Deere has the monopoly since the release of the PowerShift and 00 series tractors in the late 90's

@@yester8039 good for you. That’s what we use on our 7000 acre farm and that’s what we found.

I see a lot of Quadtrac,s on the big farms in Eastern Europe… But I agree not so many Magnum’s as r8 Deere’s. Fendt 9, 10 series are also very popular.

​@@yester8039 Why does being the market leader in general tractor market mean to build the best large 4WD or Quad tracked tractors? For many years Deere even did not have a competitor to the Quadtrac so I would suggest there are much more red quad tracked tractors out there than green. Furthermore Mike mentioned in the past that the gearbox of the 9R(X) is absolutely no competition to the Steigers because it shifts so bad and slow. And the 9620 RX was not able to pull the Bourgault better than a Fendt 1167 with CVT. The 9RX also lost the Protill drag race against the Fendt, also the Fendt has 50 hP less.

@@melvd3484 im not talking only articulated, the 8r series JD just blows out of the water any big row crop tractor while even fendt has surpased CASE and NH in recent years, the quad tract is probably CASE's best product but still will be outperformed with the new 9 series JD with thr 900 hp engines

Turns out one of the bearings went out and caught the dry hay on fire

Much better than half a flask of warm coffee.😢

Wait what?

I don’t know where you got idea from😂

instink.......😂

The Deere is more powerful machine out of the two and was up there with the most powerful tractor when the drill was designed so if anything can pull it it’s that Deere. And the Case is lower horsepower too.

@@autobootpilootno the case ih is more horsepower. It’s tuned to 680 or 700. I don’t remember which

@@clearskiesranch1362 Mike has said that John Deere has been tuned and has the same power as the Case

@@clearskiesranch1362 it’s not really relevant in this case. The frame and traction (weight) dictate if you’re able to pull the drill. Any tractor can spin its wheels in the lowest gear so more horsepower only means you can pull it faster.

@@autobootpilootobviously. Thats not the point I was making.

They all break down.

Get a Claas.

I Will break down? All colors do.

@@terrybraun4175 lol 😂 without a Claas, yes you will break down. There's a difference between minor breakdowns and major breakdowns.

Yes. Mike has a big family. Got like 4-5 brothers. Not sure how many sisters if any I’m sure he has some. But I do know he has a big family and a few brothers.

@@TravisTheDriver He has two brothers, Brian and Terry, ..... never heard of any sisters.

Yes

Not to mention go to work in the morning and still be there at 2 am.

Best comment ever.

Nah they are junk if they ain't broke they are burning

You mean like they did with the Ideal? That combine burned and they had their share of problems but those combines have come a long way since they had them. They are not junk.

And by the way, the RX is not junk either. There's not much junk made in the world today. But there is some!

@@terrybraun4175 Like all of them, there is r&d involved before production, then there is real life testing. I think Mike does a good job of that ! No bias, just honest truth. If the companies don't get honest feedback, Ernie and Bert would still be the newest design tractors on the farm!

They were all saying that a Deere was better when Mike popped a hose. Truth is they all break down

Because it’s his tractor and watching something you make your livelihood with burn is upsetting?
