Thank you Brian for spending a little time with us

Thanks to both of you. Brain for allowing us a little camera time and Mike for being respectful to the situation and not running in and sticking the phone in everyone's faces asking to many obvious questions. A breakdown like that is a big deal and it's good to see you both dealing with it and moving on. Minor blessing maybe, Brian got to try the red brand and spend some time with his brother :)

There is always a silver lining when something bad happens. A tractor fire during harvest would be devastating, especially when harvesting canola. It is better this happened during seeding when there is nothing to burn. Now, his tractor will be fully repaired and in good running order come harvest. We all wish you and your farming family the best Mike, thank you all for helping to feed the world.

Thank you for showing the people out there how we real Canadians help our friends and show compassion. Good on yea Mike. 👌🏻

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.

I don't blame Brian for not wanting to be video it would suck having almost lost his tractor. At least it wasn't as bad as it could of been. Example ideal combine

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

Hopefully the john deere isn't too expensive to fix, good to see and hear from Brian again. Actually, it is nice when the 2 brothers talk and share their thoughts. Happy seeding!

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.

@@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.

Glad Brian was able to save the Deere and spend a little time with the KZread Family. It’s always nice to have a spare to help out when needed. Thanks for the Videos, Mike.

Great awesome video Mike , good respectful brotherhood

I had John Deere tractors my whole life and our big case tractors out pull out perform our deers to the point where we have no more Deere large frame tractors. The case pulls harder with less power. Better transmission less fuel burned just but I have not driven the new Deere large frames yet. Hopefully we will soon.

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 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

So it was fate that Brian was wearing a red sweatshirt.....

Nice to see that you and your brother are always willing to help each other out mike good job

Hopefully Brian's tractor is an easy fix and it's back on the go again. Nice to hear you're finally getting some moisture down there. Thanks for letting us ride along Brian.

he (Bryan) just wanted to be allowed to try the red one, so he had to find an excuse. it might be a bit of a stretch to try to burn your tractor off, but still.

Good to see Brian slowly comeing around to the camra Mike. Now you need to get Terry on board. Also Im happy that you were able to save the 9RX

In other words Case saves the day 😂

Thank you Brian for having some video time with Mike hopefully we can get more videos like this one minus the tractor part I’m sorry that happened it’s one of my biggest fears when running equipment especially balers

I think it's really cool how well you guys get along.

Nice to see Brian in your video Mike

Imagine if you still had the 1050 with moisture in the ground. The struggle bus would have been a long ride

Glad the new red didn't burn, very sad to hear that the green one did. Best of luck in the future

Classic moment of my life watching an insurance man inspecting a tractor after a fire. BMW suit and tie didn’t go well, fire was put out with slurry tanker.

Bummer for Brian . And it wasn't even deer hunting season. Nice licorice pointer Mike.

Tip for a cheap solution for lighting at night you can carry a few strong magnetic battery powered led lights in a tool which you can stick onto metallic parts if you need to work at nights and just take on and off as needed be

Insurance companies like to lend out umbrellas when it’s sunny, and snatch them back as soon as it pisses it down.

This Unit has quite a light package.

Mike - with JD beginning to offer electric drives (8RX410), which makes surplus energy available (I think 100kw) for trailing implements, will that transform your cart from a dead-weight into a traction assister?

👋😊

👍👍👍

He needs lights. Air coming out doesn't mean there isn't an 80% blockage upstream in the system keeping product from going in the ground. I hope his fire damage was too serious.

These things happen,,just have to deal with them.

Can you expand on what you mean by “the tractor is not factory”? I also will understand if you don’t want to explain it here.

200rpm over the course of a seasons is a lotta revolutions of the crank 🤔

What's with the alternator burning up?

And the fuel consumption comparison is??????

Red to the rescue 😂 I guess Green does not mean Go 😂Classic stuff

Put the new 9rx on it see what pulls better I rest my case and the new case too

So this is mikes tractor that Donovan seeded with all spring and Mike was using Ashton’s tractor all spring

Hi Mike. Because you are running at 1600 rpm’s and tge Deere is running 1800 rpm’s. How much fuel are you saving?

Try 6.5 psi ! Not joking !

Who else yawned with mike ?

Dif your brother put down liquid fertilizer at one time? I see it's set up for it.

I love John Deere but it seems to have a problem with fires for some reason

In the USA, why not many farmers use that kind of seeders?

how about that left side exhaust stack brian that blocks so much visibility,pos visibility to me

Do you have any plans to try a new Deere 9RX 830?

Do u think he would consider a red tractor in his future ???
