Mike no need to apologise, grateful for the effort you put in to posting them, but the jobs more important 👍

My only problem if I encountered your convoy on the road would be finding a spot to pull over and gawk in utter amazement at the multiple millions of dollars of giant AG equipment rolling by! 😲🤠

Mike, I’m a service technician from the UK, crazy seeing your kit, we have two 9RXs at our dealership and that’s considered a lot over here! To stop the beeping you can temporarily unplug the buzzer relay in the fuse box, it looks like a relay but has a speaker in the middle of it! Hope this helps!

I feel your pain mike, some people won’t pass unless you pull over and stop it’s so frustrating,

That constant buzzing of the sensor certainly would irritate the living daylights out of me. If the owner of the dealership had to ride in your cab for even a short period of time the repair would already be completed

Nope! Not the dealer, the guy that designed the sensor!

John deere alarms are the worst, they should provide an acknowledge button and alarm mute button

If these companies could just build the rest of the equipment as reliable and those damn alarms there would be no need for them alarms.

This is a problem that would be easily solved in the software. The third time this alarm turns on and makes you press ok, have another button made available that says “ignore until next restart” or something similar. That way these super annoying ones don’t make the operators go nuts, but people still get reminded there’s an issue every time they restart the tractor.

Who else predicted that the sensor would not fix the problem? Paging Eric O. Please keep us updated. It is probably the wiring harness, with the pigtail the most likely point. Second option is a bad axle bearing allowing the tone ring to destroy the sensor.

A cut sandwich should not be into triangles! If they are then they are not “driving food” because a corner will ALWAYS drop and spill the contents into your lap and onto the seat!

I would have already ripped that monitor off or unpluged it or something that noise would have already driven me nuts ----great video anyway thanks for the behind the scenes effort it takes to produce them

Thanks for all the great videos Mike!

That screaming alarm sounds like there could be a Versatile out next year perhaps lol

Thanks Mike for sharing your pain with everyone

I’m sorry you have had such a frustrating day. If it makes you feel any better, my tractor broke down pretty much every hour the other day. When it comes to farm life, crap happens. Just keep going, and you’ll pull through.

Tape of the slots in front of the buzzer. This will dampen the annoying beeping noise A LOT, much more than you would think.

You deserve an award for patience for dealing with that alarm for as long as you did. Thanks for all the uploads. It’s always nice to wake up to a Mike Mitchell vid. 👍

Holy crap Mike how did you put up with that noise. I would have just parked in a field and walked home 🤣

Man those sensors can drives you crazy. You could set fire to Johnny to stop this 😂😂😂!!

You have the patience of a Saint. Cause I couldn't of put up with that noise.

Thanks,for having a peeep in my ears for the next week..

I enjoy your videos and watching your operation. And sincerely enjoy the effort put into it. I got my 1st piece of fully computerized equip. this year and too “enjoy” the be***ing madness. Lol

You should get led signs on the back of your drills/tractors tht say pass now/don't pass. Would be pretty funny and helpful all the same time.

The size of your machines compared with the cars passing you guys is enormous.

Hello Mike if you still have any hearing . That is why I love the older machines without any computers .. I already have my ears constantly ringing since I've been 15 years old

Exited for roadtrip 💜

Interesting comment i heard the other day... "The industry has a problem far beyond right to repair. The equipment itself is not designed to deliver on its mission because breakdowns are inevitable. Being able to fix electronics quickly will help, but until the equipment is designed to be fault-tolerant, farmers will always be fighting technology AND the weather. "

One thing about the old Massey. It doesn't have bunch of sensors. One time my Challenger derated just as crossing BNSF RR tracks. Talk about getting caught up on praying.

There sould be laws fot the loudness and time of a beeper inside a cab. Great video's Mike! The colors of this cam are much better

Best soundtrack ever :D

Listening to your vid on combine. That's the last thing I need to hear another sensor. I got plenty myself ! The things we out up with! 😂

Yea, our semi-newish (6 years) tractor has a transmission error that pops up only when we use it for driving a cart. Dealer can't find the problem (we're small time farm too 320 acres at best so it's not from use). I thought the country was neat to see in video 2. Kinda beautiful imo.

I´d call the dealer and let him hear that noise - not hanging up until they get it fixed (or at least turn that warning off).

Good pair of ear muff would save your ears in that situation and they are good for working with loud machinery.

A missed opportunity to be whistling along with your beloved tractor.

So interesting, so far to travel….so different than farming in Ontario and Quebec…..scale, scale, scale

Another brilliant video 📹. Love the willy wonka moment 🤣 another coming up as you drive 565 klicks to the other part of your farm!!🥵 such a small estate!!!🤪🤣

Man I would have put my hand threw the screen 🤣🤣🤣 u have way more patience then me lol

That sensor was the worst part of the video LOL. I feel your pain the tinnitus kicked in and my ears were sore for about an hour.. thanks though!

Mike you can pull the buzzer no problem or tape the speaker grill!!!

Mike I love how much you work like KZread on top of the farm you guys have I’m surprised you find anytime to post videos. I run 6,800 acres of grain and 2,200 acres of hay and 300 head of cattle and I do not have time for anything literally I get to watch maybe one or two of your videos a week max. When I’m eating my lunch but also I am like you my lunch is I don’t know five-six thousand calories haha. Anyways I don’t even have time to watch your video I can’t imagine how you manage to make the videos. You must be an insomniac huh? Anyways more power to ya mike you really give farmers a good name some of the other KZread farmers make us all look bad because seriously some of them don’t seem to work at all. You have to admit the new technology is nice makes you do a much more accurate job but still this is exactly why I kept all my old equipment even though I have fully upgraded everything. 100% your right mike a cut sandwich is way better but also it has to be cut diagonal like you did not right in half they suck cut right in have only good diagonal;)

I bet Ashton sabotaged your tractor. You gotta admit it would be funny!🤣

Just put the tractor in rear wheel drive because the sensor is on the front drive train

didn't know you tractor had a jet engine 😂

This is why Mike is the best farming youtuber!! Would other farming youtubers let you listen to a sensor that makes you want to tie the knot? I don’t think so. That’s why Mike is the best.

i totally can relate to how mike feels about sensors. i have a lincoln mkx. I swear the dam thing has more sensors than parts and they are always screwing up. nothing ever wrong with the part they are spose to be sensing, just never ending sensor bs. that noise would have drove me nuts. maybe next time cover it with a bunch of zip lock bags to muffle it but still able to see what is one the monitor. any whoo, glad your team made the trip safe and sound and were able to keep your mental state somewhat intact. thanks for the vids.

So what I have done in all my machines is disconnect the buzzers and beepers in all monitors cabs everything. I've taken the monitor apart and cut the soderd connections with side cutters. Highly recommend it!

It will be very interesting to learn if the front axle was really at risk or just sensor false alarms... need to know!

It looks like you have atleast 1 foot on each side of the cart going over that bridge. Lots of the bridges in my area the doubles hang over the side on small tractors like new Holland t7 series

It want to be a very large northern farm to transfer those large equipment 550+km
