I'll bet she does. That's what feeds her and her growing family.

I've been watching for the last couple of years and the most I've heard of Ashtyn actually speaking in these videos has been recently. She has revealed herself to be incredibly (brutally?) witty and funny and not just one of the most versatile and competent farm machinery operators there is on KZread.

Ashtyn's feedback at the end really made this video! Go Ashtyn!!! 😂 As usual, good job Mike. 😉

I just seen my first bend in the road out there 🤣🤣🤣

I added a switch and relay to our patriot to be able to bypass the brakes. I also hard wired the traction control to a rocker switch and use the old foot pedal for the fence row nozzle. I select the left or right side with the factory switch and fire the solenoid with my foot when needed

Mike didn’t know it but when Willie Nelson wrote “ On the road again”, it was going to be dedicated to Mike Mitchell. 😂😂

I did it for years. 362 miles door to door. 30,000 bales of hay a year on 3 farms. Start farming in February in southern Idaho then go to Nevada. Finish planting new crops do a little irrigation and then start cutting hay. Equipment and crews just went in circles. Finished harvest in October. Shipped hay year around. Fun times.

Ed Crego, Mike has said that it's just faster and cheaper for them to just drive stuff.. We have trucks and lowboy and other trailers and if it's a fairly easy move farm to farm, field to field we just drive equipment. It's pretty fast for us to just leave stuff hooked up and drive it the 130 miles between 2 of our places in Western Idaho.

I love the dynamics between Ashtyn and Mike. You two are awesome. As always, best of wishes to you and your family and farm. You guys rock!

Mike - your energy and dedication is relentless. Wow.

Since Ashtyn can't harvest this year, u should get her a 9250 Case IH combine to run next year!

Very interesting to see how „large“ farms operate and what equipment they use. Here we are so small scalled in europe. And canda is so big. Here we would have gone through 3 cities on that move.

Sounds like the brake pedal, when pushed, puts the transmission in neutral, or stop position, which instantly stops the rig. Much like the brake pedal on lawn mowers, doesn’t do much braking, but shifts the transmission to the stop position.

Yes that is a stupid feature they put on the case patriot and I guess the trident also. My patriot I had the switch unhooked so I can use the brake like normal.

Mike, rants = good videos thank you 😊 👍

Good work 💪. The countryside looks like the Free State over here, very beautiful. Have a nice evening and sleep 💤 tight! 👍🇿🇦

I'm from Houston Texas you put out super great videos I am amazed at how much land that you farm keep up the good work

I get what you are saying about the brakes. I can offer a little background though for what its worth. The brakes do that because the brake pedal only has a momentary switch to inform the hydro that brakes are applied. So the sprayer doesn't know if you are lightly tapping or standing on the brake because a car just pulled out in front of you. In order to meet regulatory emergency braking requirements, the hydro applies maximum braking to help the friction brakes (wet brakes inside the hubs). If the hydro was to fight the service brakes because someone forgot to pull back on the handle, it would fail to meet regulation stopping distances. Also, not sure if you are aware, but versus a current Patriot. The Trident has significantly more robust engine overspeed protection. It should be very difficult/impossible to overspeed past 2750rpm and it should settle back down to ~2600 rpm on a long downhill braking or even a full handle pull from road speed. The system is designed to overspeed the engine to this range to increase hydro braking and reduce heat generation from braking. So in the Trident, the brake really should only need to be used for emergencies versus the Patriot where you may want to slow down and be careful with the engine. Anyway, it's always nice to be easier on your machine if you like, but even fully loaded, you should be able to run down some pretty good hills at 25mph no problem (o-ring issues not withstanding :( ). Thanks for the video!

I really love how you care about your equipment. Taking care not to stress it unnecessarily. Thanks for the road trip, it´s been almost like a vacation during this covid lockdown we still suffer from in Norway ;) Take care!

thanks for the ride along

cannot wait for the videos of harvesting the swaths

I fully agree about that STUPID case sprayer brake !!! I remember when we switched from Deere to case sprayers and I hit that “brake” for the first time so dumb

Bald Prairies look like the Bad Lands in South Dakota.

Congratulations on becoming parents great news 😀

Famous last words - Never looked so Gooood! 😂 keep your daddy job buddy.

Forget SUVs, forget trucks, with this thing you are truly King of the Road :D

Mike seems happier now. Rain has picked up his sprit.

Ashton wins the internet today with that burn 🔥

Mike someone may have posted this already, but on our 4430 Patriot it did the same thing with the brakes until I unplugged the sensor on the brake pedal down by the floor. Now it has brakes like a normal tractor and doesn't come to a screeching halt. The Tridents may be different but worth a try.

I think you guys need one of them big floaters because you get a hall more more speed and if you're going to spray in the fall and there's no crop or the cropping up very high out of the ground you'd cover more ground and have less to carry more time in the field then filling

Nice video!

Keep fighting the good fight I’m still cracking up about your parts counter impression I’m going through it all right now haha Literally showed up for the part and they sold it to someone else and I made them find it and give it to me can’t make this stuff up!!!

Hydrostatic transmission brake. Cuts the drive, and brings to a halt.

Oh Mike, change the machine to Km/h, it will be faster 🥴🤣

31:00 Mike goes streaking!

So how many acres in between jumps on the road are yours? I know different crops require different treatment, love seeing the different ways to take care of your land and crops, watching from Vermont USA, can't wait to see you as a dad, you are an awesome teacher and Ashton will be an amazing mom

"our rain is covid delayed" had me laughing on the ground

We use diquat in Greece for killing the weeds in kiwi trees.Also the 5L reglone jug costs 80€

If you keep some windex in your truck and spray it before you scrub it it will come a lot cleaner a lot easier. I keep windex in all my vehicles because most places only put water in the window washer buckets. Try it you will never not have windex in your truck again.

That’s one lonely drive. Not a sinner on the road 😅

In Denmark we just Reglone to burn down the potatoes before harvest . But now it's illegal to use here.

You should really shut off the Electrolux in the cab, lol

At 13:15 Mike says I'm going to pull back on the hydro and get my RPMS up. CC says Mike said I'm going to pull back on the hydro and get my arm pants up. LOL

Some speed goats.

This raling remove is on the list to do, just far away XD

There's day when I watch your video's and just shake my head and cover my eyes. Oh Mike :sigh:

The Hydro is the brakes it uses hydraulic pressure to move the machine stop the machine and reverse the machine. That brake pedal just moves the hydro control to the middle which stops the fluid from going to the forward or reverse direction. The engine should never over speed going down hills it's just running a pump.

cool mike

FYI: if you will clean your windshield really well and then apply two or three coats of RainX it will be tremendously easier to clean for months.

Mike, I hear what you're saying about the brakes but the sprayers are hydraulicly driven. There is no "axle" so to speak to put brakes on and an engine brake doesn't work well on hydraulic drive. It puts alot of heat and pressure into the drive system and pump. If they made the hubs different, they could bolt disks and calipers to each wheel and you could have real brakes. I'd imagine that would be a 50,000 dollar upgrade though. I'm surprised they don't have that but seeing how the "brake" will lock the tires up as is, they probably don't see the need to have brakes that function like other equipment. You only drive and spray with a sprayer, not pull or push. Well, most of the time your not pulling or pushing with one lol.

Danfoss Power Solutions makes the H1 series pump in that sprayer. It has a valve built ito the pump that transfers kinetic energy (high pressure oil) to heat when you are braking. It is separate from the normal relief valves. It's a very good system that can be tuned. It sounds like they have the software set on kill. There should be an update available to soften that up a bit. The foot brake will always be for aggressive stops though. THose sprayers and the new John Deere sprayers have amazing emergency brakes for as big as they are loaded.

Hey Mike I run a Trident its a 2020 model year and are dealer just installed a field and road mode switch on it so when your in the field click the switch max 25mph on the road click it into road mode 40 mph, when you load you do not have to wait for it to do it adjusting anymore it just keeps it at max height, but if you need to adjust your height you still can but its done on the Viper 4 not on the corner post

Mike videos 🆗🤞👌🇮🇹

Hi Mike when roading equipment would be nice for u to point out towns you pass through

We have round up resistant pig weeds in western Oklahoma. Be careful with the survivors you’ll eventually have some weeds you can’t kill.

I have to e-mail my dealer also.

i am from slovenia and you are all avesome but with abby robertson little bit more i am almost there

Pasture is farming !!!

Diaquat and paraquat are of the same family. Paraquat is causing those of us who sprayed thousands of gallons to burn down weedy wheat stubble for double-crop soybeans or desiccate soybeans, are becoming victims of Parkinson's disease. Even our spouses who washed our paraquat-soaked clothes are experiencing some of the same symptoms. We did not have airconditioned and semi-sealed cabs and we were not told to wear respirators. "Oh, paraquat is dangerous but safe to spray. Just do not drink it." said our chemical supply company. For your offspring's safety, do not let your lovely wife be around those and other chemicals during gestation.

Wonder if you can go monstertrucking with this, maybe put a few old bangers in a field and try to get across them ? :p

Your lucky to still use Diquat. They’ve banned it here in the UK

you can use steel wool on a windshield but NOT scotchbrite! kerosene or diesel will help get bug guts off. dawn dish soap will get the diesel. then rainx or aquapel.

In the winter he can get a job at a gas station being a pump attendant. He can then improve his skills!!

A good ole 1482 @3:45. I wonder if they still use it ?

I have a morbid fascination with the Diquat/Paraquat. Glyphosate kills almost any weed yet has extremely low toxicity to humans. The 'quats' only knock the weeds for awhile but are insanely toxic if you drink them. Can you say heart-lung-liver-spleen transplant?Scary stuff

So I get Case people aren´t a big fan of the principle of "full send or no send", except when it comes to brakes.

That sprayer sounds like a vacuum cleaner

That thing looks awesome with the duals all the way round. Now Deere has to step up its game and build a heavy duty sprayer.

Mike - Why take the railing off? I get that it probably slightly hinders your vision and accesing stuff from the platform to enter the vehicle, but isnt it "slight" enough to not really make enough of a difference to actually remove it? Seems like alot of hassle for little benefit. - Educate me?! lol

You need the blue led lights on your booms for sprayer at night they are the only job 👌 tell ash she's some woman for one woman to still be doing the work she's doing

Tastes liquid: ah yeah that is ac coolent

Mike, remember when the oven has a bun in it, finishing that bun to perfection is the most important thing to do, so you do not overtax the oven by shaking it around. Get the point?

Forget diquat you need some Paraquat. That stuff will eliminate all your problems.
