Oh. So you can talk again. God bless
I guess finding that pitch fork in the rock trap is better than finding it in one of tires
I remember combining one night when it was SO DUSTY that I was running perpendicular to the swaths. I could hear the combine change pitch due to LOAD and then NO LOAD but had NO IDEA which direction I was going 😂🤣🤩
Paint your chisels orange for better finding next time
God bless your harvest - a sabbath well spent brings a week of content and the strength for the toils of tomorrow. A sabbath profaned what'er may be gained a sure forerunner of sorrow.

Hey Mike, I see your point on the fuel tank cap of the new truck, but you can fill er up in the rain, with no water getting in the tank. Silver lining in an otherwise gray cloud. Great looking truck though. It looks badass!!!

Never a dull moment hanging with you, Mike.
Great to see you with other friends. Love your videos and see how big your country is up there.
Good morning Mike.. Thank you for the ride along.. A great way to spend my lunchtime ❤️
I have unplugged baler, self propelled Hesston swather so can relate to having to to do it, however I have never run a combine. In my younger days I once worked on a cattle ranch we only did alfalfa, mountain grass in our fields. I have either chiseled, ground off many rivets on sickle bars. There is always a first time for everything that can go wrong with farm machinery. Have a pleasant week and day off.
You guys are great like a family that just sends it all the time
That pitchfork is a golden find, frame it on old boards with old wire. Grandad would be happy...
Looks like you guys have one hell of a crew. Good luck rest of harvest!
You're great guys!👏👋👋
Sorry about your lost chisel! Lol A leaf blower could be your friend to blow some chaff around, one time we found the semi keys 🔑 that way.
My cereal rules: Warm milk for puffed wheat Raisin Bran needs to rest to get a bit soggy. Everything else is cold and crunchy.
good to see Sunday off 😎😎😁😁👍👍
Acrobatics, cooking, truck review , combine mecanics, all in one..thanks mike
Nice they added the warning flashers in strob , really nice trucks 👍✌
Great video as usual but nice with the extra bit of length. Was very awesome seeing everybody sit around and chatting well they eat dinner, more of that whenever possible please. Yes I believe Princess Auto has air chisels for like 30 bucks that would definitely help save time and Knuckles and would go nicely with the air hose you have on the front of the combine
Mike, I am Bill Smith from the USA. I do enjoy your videos. It looks as if you enjoy your job, congratulations on your wedding. Keep feeding the world! Just thought I would mention I live in southern Michigan.
Mike you said safety first rite after saying you would love to dive under a moving grain cart!!! Lol
Nice to see all the guys, 👍
Ya got a great crew there mike! Big fan, keep up the good work hombre!
Fascinating piece of machinery that combine, great video mate 👍👍🚜🚜💨
The feel of falling in is pain. Glorious wonderful pain. Its actually more painful to fall out the bottom than it is off the top though.
Yep , cold soggy cereals (2 types) in morning and hot soggy in the evening ( 2 types if I have them). Entertaining vid Mike, typical day in the life of any machine driver. Love the chisel search, how often has that happened to everyone............
Nice video mike! Awesome to see farming in a different country! you should do a "meet the harvest crew" video if everyone wants too be on camera!
VERY IMPRESSIVE BOYS !!! Best of luck harvest 2020🙂😃✌
That pitchfork has got to be at least a hundred years old. lol
Awesome, Mike I farm in Wisconsin, have hooked horse shoes on moldboard plow! Great video
Espectacular 💪. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷❕❗❕
Hello Mike ,the harvest looks to be going great . It seams to me that you have a great group of people on the crew .All that pizza will expand the waist line .🤣🤣🤣👏.Take care See Aya .👍👍✌
Having a gathering for food during busy seasons is very good for morale xx good management !!!!! To bad about the break down !!!
Nice trucks we have used the Automatics since 2015 in the Aggregate
In italy has finish to harvest , forage harvester claas 970 terratrac and new holland fr9090
You have to put an air tool in each combine to remove the broken knives. Good video again.
Thank you Mike for letting us look over your shoulder.
Gertrude was my Grandma's name. I like it. Should name that 2 track that.
Great video Mike hard to believe your doing it all off your phone 👊💥
What a Great Farm to work on, Great People and equipment and no BS like the corporate world
Great stuff mike, hope thise honeybees are cruisin
I'm loving it Mike, can't wait to see what kinda surprise iron you will have as harvest rolls on, you dropped a hint about a bigger header so I'm real curious about that one:) I can't remember if you guy's have 7 combines with the new tracked machine or if that machine made for number 8 but either way it got me wondering what it takes to move the grain away from the harvesters, like if you have all your combines in the same area how many grain carts and B trains does it take to keep everything moving?
hi I see your videos from your channel here in Brazil I look every time you post on youtube
Nice to see you use the cylinder stops, my neighbor lost his life a couple years ago header fell on him while he was under it, he was by him self working on the header

Go to harbor freight or Princess auto and those air-powered chisels are cheap. Put one on each combine. That is if my memory serves me correctly and you have air couplers on them. You could actually put a 50' hose reel upfront and be able to blow stuff or run an air tool any place on the combine. You can always count on trouble striking you when you are just about to quit and now you are going to have to spends hours fixing it.
We need a grain setup tour!!
being the boss seems to be pretty cool😂
Lots of mullets! :)
We started today ☺👌 22 b/a large greens
Man those unload augers must be strong you’ve got a few extensions on er one day it might go breakie

I appreciate what Mike does so we can see farming, but it must be so weird to have him talking to invisible KZread people on his phone all the time of you know him lol.

Mike it sure is good to hear your voice.
I like to watch Farm work in other Country's next to Germany and how you have mange with your ground and soil next to the different weather situation. what i see is your weed on an wider seed bed to germany like the German Bio logical farms has if you see an German weed feeld you can't really get in because the plants are that close. The standard crops in Germany are Barly, Canola, Wheat next to Beans (we call the "Sau Bohnen" pig beans) and Corn it'S not like Soy beans smaller and you need a Canola header because the plants are that close and growing together. Corn we use more for chaff also like Rye and Field Grass
I could have a blast working with you 👍👍
We have a Claas lexion 8900 terra track. And we havent problem whit this combine būt yh ideal good too
Good to hear you again! I have always hated charades! hahaha
Mike you need to consider buying Kenworth W900s for those grain super bs that would look really good
Cheerios smoothie sounds terrible. God bless.
Lentil kings and pretty things!
Hi Mike. Good to keep up to date via the videos as usual. Just a quick one. Are The Ideal's working more reliably this year ? Cheers and as always thank you for the vids
Cereals need cold milk and still crunchy a bit !
How far did the pizzas travel? Ours come 5 to 10 miles depending on the field. I suspect yours travel 50 to 100 miles min.
Yeah a person does see a few Corn Binders on the Highway. I will stay with Peterbuilt.

I don’t understand such a sophisticated machine and they still use the same power transmission as 100 years ago. Not to mention how much energy is lost in all these belts. A simple diesel generator that would supply power to individual electric motors would be a hugely better solution. Diesel-electric locomotives have been operating in this way for over 50 years. Great video Mike;)
@heavyweight6440

There is almost no loss in power due to the belts. If there was the belts would be dead within a few minutes of work, but they arent. There is no slipping, so the power throughput is close to 100%. The Idea with the motors could work, but you will make the machine quite wide. This is quite a problem when you want to have a road legal combine.

Id rather go with hydraulic motors, probably less chance of a fire and its tried and tested tech. Everything can be easily controlled with proportional valves, reversed etc, and have relief valves on so rather than throw a belt/snap an idler/break shear screws, it just goes through teh relief valve. Granted probably more power loss than belts but it would be interesting!
Where in Saskatchewan your farm is? One of your video you said that your farm is about 20 min drive to Honey Bee Manufacturing.
You guys have a stuck list. During harvest, you should make a combine breakdown list. Every time you need help from a mechanic or someone else it counts as a breakdown. Fires count quadruple.
Mike respect you’ve invested into the IDEAL combine early on. It’s Mk1 and knowing FENDT half your problems will be gone when Mk3 is released. 🤙 I know Lentils are one of the harder crops to process for combines in general. About the trucks I wish you guys would have a proper Tatra dealer over there they’re the best European agri truck available and looking at those American trucks makes me wish they’re available over there.

I farm is SD in the States so there are different load laws here than Sask. but with the Tatras (awesome trucks btw) the issue might be more how the highway departments regulate weight per axle/tire. I'm mostly familiar with Tatra's off road/military trucks so maybe I'm missing something.

John Wellnitz oh shit I’m dealing with a North American who actually knows Tatra? *internal shutdown* I’ve no idea how to respond I only know how it’s done in Western Europe and Tatra trucks can carry up to 80 kubic meters of silage on the road legally wielding agri tires. I’ll admit that very rarely a farm has fields more than 10km away from the farm so transport is hardly on the farmers’ mind. Having said that a contractor using Tatra for combining/silage jobs is held in extremely high regard. Example, and yes it isn’t Tatra but GINAF is held in the same regard as Tatra, operations such as this one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l2mWxK2ae83Zf84.html are leading the charge. My country (The Netherlands) is an outliner in how we value AgriTrucks from Tatra, GINAF, MAN. They’re used for silage, liquid manure, muckspreading, firtilizing, hay + straw bale transport you name it. Excuse my shitty Dutch English and bad formatting I hate typing on mobile but I only want to inform you guys on how we do it. Edit: Tatra is known for its military trucks but they’re even bigger in Agriculture. Here’s a 2019 truck spreading chucking manure: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaSK2a6uk9OZlpM.html They’re such a ducking pleasure to operate feels like driving a Mercedes tbh. Tatra Phoenix is worth every single penny as long as you have service.
Safety first except when you are walking along the top of the trailer. 🤔😂
