I'm not a farmer, but for some reason I love your chanel. I love how you explain everything!

Awesome video Mike! Thanks for the walk through and all the running comments with it.💪

Good morning Mike.. Thank you for the ride along... Have a great Wednesday 😊

That is really awesome to watch you spray and climb around on the sprayer. Explain how it works. Thank you so much. Greetings from Virginia

Man you make excellent videos loved the explanation of how the auto steer system works 👍👍🚜🚜💨

The wass guidance is always moving. Constant nudge. RTK is the shnizle. Lol. We had a 4410 and I wired the foot pedal into the foam marker button. That was mint!!!

Hey Mike, I run a Deere with SF3 and never have to nudge a line all year after it’s set. It’s amazing how well it works. You probably are running that on your 4060 though too. If not it’s totally worth it. We run that globe on the tractor for seeding then I put it on the sprayer for the chick peas and desiccation.

thanks for sharing, looking forward to harvest time!

Great video Mike nice looking chickpea crop

Nice looking sprayer Mike

I have been watching you for a while and it is wrecking my head as to how much land you guys farm? Used to think maybe about 20 or25 square miles but the more I watch the more I think it's a lot more.

I like that you can see the back of your sprayer in your mirrors while your booms are folded out

Nice video!! thanks for share.

Halfway through the video before you got off the road... exhausting!

I imagine you tilt so many with climbing on the sprayer like that, i am the same on our combines and oeople get maaaad

With john deere rtk your never resetting lines. You turn and press resume button and go. You should try it

Smart systems for loading in the field

With all that chickpeas, you should be the king of falafel in the middle east if you open a factory on the side of the fields and export it to them

Mike we run 2 r4030’s and I can say that as far as ride quality, and ability to control how your applying the Deere is second to none. Hate the carbon fiber booms though. Would definitely stay away from them on rougher ground

its insane to me that these new sprayers still have the option for foam markers

Along with the fuel filling issue another issue with case is every red tractor or sprayer will eventually have scr failure it seems like.

thanks for the vid mike. u mentioned in one vid that u might upload media from yr wedding .will that be on utube or is it on other social media platforms ...peace out

Looks like you are going into battle with the duals removed but the hubs have the studs protruding like in the days of the Roman chariots.....

Your controlled traffic issue could be solved with VSN from Raven. If you have a V4 controller and RS1 GPS it will visually see the track and keep you in that track regardless of speed from 3-4" tall on up.

Have you looked at the agrifacs sprayer at all? They've got some interesting concepts

On the subject of following tracks, circa late '60s, my grandfather was cultivating corn ahead of a bad storm blowing in. He saw a funnel cloud drop and headed straight for the barn lot, but, in his haste he forgot to raise the cultivator and took out a 4 row width of crop as he drove diagonally across the field:)

Filling that with fuel is just like the case tractors they don’t take fuel very well. Always end up getting soaked with diesel!

I have a question, Why do you not spray all your fields with the air plane? that way you do not leave tracks in the field at all. I am not a farmer so I was just wondering? since you have the plane ?

How did you configure your air carts when you ran liquid fertilizer? Did you carry more seed? Potash? More of both?

7500 acres, unreal man.. load station is def best way for you guys

Lol, crazy canadian!!

Mike, I said it on your last "climbing on a moving sprayer" video and ill say it again the neglect of any thought of safety is disgusting. There is a reason that these companies put the rotating amber warning lights on these sprayers and they are meant to be used for safety. Please remedy this situation and keep up the climbing on sprayer videos those are pretty cool.

If you change the wheel speed cal number in the deere it goes 43 mph 35 loaded

Trucks certainly are a PAIN to fill up at slower rates with the size of their tanks🤬😱

whats up with your fendt combines, are they ready for this year ?

Que estilo de vida que eu sempre quiz pra mim

I think it’s worth buying the Trident for the air horn alone

They built the whole sprayer and then someone said "ohh shit, forgot to make a way to fuel it up! Just wing it?" Its wung lol

Can you turn off the speed mode thing so that you can do 40mph loaded

Kk c ya there

Those dual wheel hubs might rub taller crops? Idea has merit but I think I’d just as soon swap large lsw floaters off and put on skinny’s.

@corgraveland4874

4 жыл бұрын

Ok, those hubs may hit the larger crops. Well, don't yet understand why the wheel hubs are not mounted to the duals? As that would both be more safe to drive on the road, easier to pass other vehicles, allow to have a small base configuration of the sprayer, do not damage the larger crops, safe some weight, etc. And once designed well, it isn't more difficult to mount, is it? But you have the experience with duals and tripels. Hope to learn why this is doen this way.

Curious if it would be worth it in the long run to toss wells up at each loading station to cut cost of hauling water back and forth. Fuel and maintenance cost on top of paying wages and mileage

@mikemitchell2554

It's a 150,000 per well, plus getting power there would cost millions

Are there newer varieties of chickpeas available that have better disease resistance or herbicide tolerance traits? Seems like you spend a fortune on your input costs to produce the crop. Some better disease resistance traits would help cut back on the chemical applications.

what is in the shipping container beside the water tanks.

Mike How many acres are you all farming?

What's the gallons per minute on that big diesel pump
