Hauling grain to the terminal!
VloĆŸit

- So it's that time of year again where the input bills need to get paid and that means selling and hauling the grain to town or to the terminal who pays the most or many other factors đ€·ââïžđ€Łđ

I like watching these videos with my kids so then they can see what I'm talking about when I tell them about hauling to the elevator. Thanks Mike!
Phew, Mike is still around after being attacked by that savage beast, Nice.
Haha. That last sentence about the fertiliser company, never a truer word spoken. I've just recieved the bill for mine for next years crops...Holey moley! đł
I use Seafoam in all small engines for years, makes a huge difference keeping them running good. It helps the new crap gasoline keep from plugging up the carbs and passagesâŠ
Mike, buy a swift hitch camera. It'll make loading way easier.
At least the yields at the north farm are substantially better than the south fall meaning there is actually a decent amount of grain to haul .
Say happy birthday to Chapel please,my birthday is the same as that little man,but I'm 72 now, happy birthday Chapel .
The Grain Terminal is a cool operation đ they got it together!!
Great video! Blessings you and family!
Use 1/8" Nylon braided accessory Cord for the key leash on the auger. It holds up MUCH longer than white Zip ties.
Very interesting video, Mike. Loved it. God bless the Canadian and American Farmers!

God bless irish farmers .....đ
Great video Mike good luck hauling your wht
Thanks for the info. Not a Farmer and this was, as all your Videos are , very informative. Thanks again for the ride.
If you tour the terminal do it when they are loading a train!
A little spillage keeps the deer happy đđ€Ł
Informative, well done!
Great awesome video mike , get use to that new truck and trailers. Get use to losding in sequence too. Goes faster
Nice video of the operation at the terminal. I worked for Viterra for years. I helped make the system that your ticket comes from. You must be made of money Mike. Everything you have is brand new. Virtually nothing is used. Expenses must be very high
Thank You
Magnifique vidéo et les camions et les remorque et sont trÚs bien intéressante et la neige
Looks like you donât want to lose the key to that small engine, just super glue it in the slot.
Iâm disappointed I was wanting the follow up to your stuck video đđ
I guess you got the v blade out
Hello Mike good grain đŸđ€đđźđč
I thought you were in the hospital from that killer mouse attack!
Hey Mike on my hx I have it has scales on the drive tires and will tell you what's on your drives if you scroll through the cluster screen to axle load.
Congrats on power, build infrastructure hub from scratch is hard work, i know from experience!!!
That generator shack, you could line the inside with rigid foam board to keep the heat in or when really cold be able to throw a small heater in it to help the engine out. Those doors are terrible to seal they will always fill with snow, thinking they are manufactured that way to have air flow into it if its warm out, cheap fix would be a split pool noodle to block the snow/weather, guy could always cut in a air intake or prop the door open when in use in the cold
:Looked like the air vents were open with no sloped cover to keep rain or snow out.
2x8 works good to keep the grain in the hopper if the auger is flipping it up
Just a suggestion about investing in a small trap to put on your small engine well worth the investment
living in sask your just happy to see -20
You have a really good crop there Mike just saying
In the states we load ag trailers like boxcars and dodge the dot scales and run them maxed out....atleast here in my neck of the woods....95k on 5 axles is a regular day.
we put a wifi cameraon the auger used the auger lights for power and phone for monitor works well amazon 125
Man that sounds interesting, this video I mean.đ
Miley, need auto shoots and tarps on that rig.. great options over manuel
Hi, could you make a Tour of the Truck and Trailor? That would be great. The Truck realy looks good, we don't have those Trucks or Trailers here in Germany. Best regards and keep warm
Some Vanguard motors do not run with the dam I used to have to work on them with Simplicity lawn mowers and you get a good one and you get a junk one
Probed? All I could think of was Peter Griffin and his prostate exam
Morning
Where I live 66 degrees is cold let alone minus 25
Never understood why the heavy spec trucks designed and built to carry more weight are limited like that. I get it, roads and bridges, but still⊠A heavy built truck is made to carry more weight but you canât because of the goobermint. You have to pay extra to use the double or triple frame truck with big axles to its potential, meanwhile a truck built to handle less weight can be loaded to the max.
1400 bu. is a nice load. Your not hauling for hire so like you said thatlittle extra tare weight not as big of a deal, Nice video. I see you have no straps running from the front to the rear of your trailers to keep water from puddling up when trailers are sitting. One less thing to dodge when loading of grain & make a mess.
Question for you Mike. What made you decide to buy the Wilson trailers? Let alone aluminum? Just speaking from experience my family only buys the doepker steel bottoms.
hi mike been watching you for almost a year now and I've always wondered what phone you use to video you videos good luck haulingđ
seen ya coming through Moose Jaw today but you missed the truck route lol I followed ya the way from the north side to the left tune you made off of 9th ave on the south
That was Rickles đ
I think Iâd trade in that summer hat for a toboggan.
Darned right. I understand about a hood but I personally hate them. Many decades in the Army, always figured someone was sneaking up, needed my peripheral vision! But that hat, ugh.
The check engine light is on your truck
So what happened to the stuck tractor? I would have like to see you yank it out.
Would you be open to trying a afs connect case Quadtrac in the spring for seeding this year?
Are you unloading? Mike reminds me of an old. Story we had a guy come in and unload from our bin on our farm. He unloaded a ride on the green door in the trailer. He busted the green door completely off. My dad and me were pissed. Luckily insurance covered it. Weâve never seen that guy again.
Spelling error I meant to say youâre unloading video
should get that check engine light diagnosed
Not showing many videos of you at the south farm.
Mike, regarding grain flying out of an auger hopper- Many years ago, I built an auger hopper with angled flutes that stopped grain from flying out of the hopper. Grain flies out from one side of the auger flighting where the rotation is upward and to the side. Those flutes stopped grain from flying out. See how it works in this video- czcams.com/video/klP5dwGh88U/video.html
There are other videos on my site that show more about that.
Corrected video link- czcams.com/video/5CAnOEPXvvc/video.html
Sorry aabout the mistaken video link
â„ïžâ„ïž
Why don't you have a shed for your combines and tractors to keep them out of the winter weather.
are all the samples "free grain" for the terminals?đ
Mike show us the apartment you got behind your driver's seat.
Hi Mike,hauling grain was my job since April 1987..here in North East of France.đ
Also have a question:how many tons or bushels does the grain leg move in one hour?
I am not sure the answer to that question, I feel it can vary đ€đ€·ââïž
@@mikemitchell2554
Yes,it's possible to vary the speed of the conveyor...looks like this one is fast..
Looks like the elevator is taking his grain away as fast as he can dump it. 45 tonnes in 10 minutes, so at least 270 tonnes/hour. One of my local elevators is about that fast, the other is quite a bit slower, maybe 2/3 of that speed.
Back at his farm the load speed is probably around 100 tonnes an hour.
@@tmlf1239
Yes,you are right,basicly it's between 200 and 300 tons/h in this size terminal.
In the co op where i worked it was maxi 300,most of the time they run 200 to avoid problems,not very nice when the leg is plugged.đ
So what happened at the end of the last video?
They should Probe your trailer on the scales. Over a year's time they can steal several pounds of grain
That's part of the profit margin for the grain buyer, they all sample before the scales. One processor I hauled to would fill a decent sized grain wagon and would have to unload it a few times a day. Some others that were less busy used garbage cans or dumpsters to hold the samples. Double trailers look like a nightmare to back up very far but it would be nice to legally haul that much grain each trip.
Hey Mike , why having a sleeper on those Truck?
Where is that terminal located?
What happendt to fendt tractor when it was stuck in mud?
That is called that is a automated manual transmission..
-20! Imagine how bad it would be if that was only -18
Or minus 45 with a wind
czcams.com/video/5CAnOEPXvvc/video.html This is the corrected video link instead of my mistaken video link in my previous comment. It shows angled flutes in my truck auger hopper that stops grain from flying out of the hopper. Instead of building a whole new hopper with angled flutes, a frame with angled flutes can be built to fit on top of the existing hopper. Then it can be used or not used as desired.
20.5tons? I feel like that's still pretty light, my own rig ( mind you, european driver here running Tandem swap bodies ) is 21t / 23.5t empty, depending on wether or not I have the Carry-on forklift on the back. I would have thought those big B-doubles would be heavier!
Standard bbtrain gvw in Canada is 63,500 kg.
Configured as tandem drive truck, tridem trailer 1, tandem trailer 2.
So fill it up. Your only running g auger at 3/4 full. Still making a mess. Rookie. Lol
Looks like you needed def in the truck little low
U have to use none Ethanol gas. Ethanol attract and absorb moisture. So u might have some water in ur gas making it hard to start and keep running. So u have to pay that bigger premium for Ethanol free and it will last longer. Takes twice as long for it to go bad
So don't you want to talk about what happen with the mice? đ
I am too traumatized đ
Mike why don't you use your community tab on your home channel page ?
How long doesit take to load 42 metric tons-?
Why is there a unhooked trailer in the yard???I thought you said that Donovon was also hauling??
Dono was in the truck behind him at the terminal. And in the truck that pulled up while he was in his yard. Hence the words âthereâs dono.â
Mike question, did you make it to terminal without running out of fuel? Stay safe.
Looks like you need some of that good ole government juice! AKA DEF Looks like the lights on almost
On the contrary, no more gov juice for that truck
I saw that as well and assumed it was deleted.
It should be made elegeal to delete Def
@@flemmingnielsen5989 until they make def reliable people will delete it.. Infact, why is there no def on emergency vehicles, army/military or school buses?
Also if you are talking about climate change, let's talk about that and the fact that the largest polluters in the world are not required to have def... 1 single 737 Commercial Airline runs approximately 10.5hrs per day and burns 750gal per hour. That jet would burn more fuel in a couple days then I would burn in a single year.
Locomotives also are not required to have def and those engine only ever shut off for servicing - that's right, they nearly run 24/7 belching black smoke with no def.
What about all the cargo and cruise ships? They are actually measured not by miles per gal but by gallons per foot đ.. Also no def.
What about the navy, fighter jets, air craft carriers, or the 10,000 planes/jets in the air at any given minute all with 0 pollution control. So instead pointing your finger at an industry that accounts for less than 1% of the fuel usage, ask your self why is there no def on airlines? Because the government's and industry know its unreliable and run on the moto "do I as I say, and not as I do". Imagine the deaths with airlines dropping out of sky per hour because of def code that shut the engines down. đ€Ł That would be news worthy.
Donât know how much your business rates are for electricity in Canada but in the UK some users are installing generators and switching off the mains as itâs too expensive đł. It certainly wouldnât be worth paying thousands to have electricity installed to a remote farm
Great Video, but your spilling to much around the auger Mike, I'm sure that's another per peeve
I laugh about that auger engine hahaha every farmer battles those stupid things we just bought a brand new kohler 38 hp runs like junk been back to shop 2 times for different things still runs like garbage.
Try a Honda engine on regular fuel đ
What is the reasoning for dumping the air in your trailer when unloading?
As you load the trailer, the air pressure in the air bags increases. When you unload the trailer that quickly, the air bags can't exhaust the air fast enough. Its possible to blow an air bag.
I also want to know why you dump the air when unloading
There's a massive amount of air pressure in the bags when the trailers are loaded, so if you empty the grain really fast, sometimes the bags can't exhaust air fast enough on their own to release enough pressure, and it can cause the bags to overinflate and blow, and then you're screwed/out of service. So if you manually open the exhaust valve on the bags, they release pressure much faster and won't blow.......just gotta remember to air them back up once the load is gone.
Man Mike, you sure get a lot of advice. Not sure if it is actually useful? But yeah, get a cold weather hat. Thatâs it from this peanut gallery. Well, not quite actually. All those fuel comments, ugh. Some truth, lots of silly. Much to learn and know about the various, but really why reinvent the wheel. 98% nitro will getter done, for a few seconds!
How does Viterra have a Annual Groos income of 41 Billion from grain???????
The jet on those vanguards is too small. EPA goofs make it smaller so small engines will meet the new standards they impose. Only hand drill one drill size up. The bigger hole will not get plugged as much as the epa one. That'll get rid of the surging. Fuel filters are made in India and are of poor quality, and will let particles through.
Need to use ethanol free gas
Hey Mike, I have a question. How long is the haul?
At the north farm there's like terminals everywhere đ like 70km any direction... They don't know how good they have it up here!
Back home we only have 2 terminals, and the closest is 160km one way.
With it being cold at the north fall you hopefully won't get stuck in the mud
-40C = -40F, Now that is COLD, Especially if there is a strong wind đ„¶đ„¶đ„¶
why do you dump the air on the trailers when unloading
@@boogalookid9562 The air bags are dumped while unloading so the extra pressure with no load doesn't blow an air bag
Why don't you put a board up or a chunk of plywood so that you don't make a mess
Mike, what happened to the English Bloke? Only curious. I thought he was a hard working dude.
He moved to a farm closer to town. The commute to the south farm did him in.,
hey Mike if you up to fudball, sorry bro.
There not designed to run on premium fuel. Designed to run on 89 octane.
Do you actually haul grain if it is -30C
Absolutely! - 40C even
You've got a carb. problem. Before I became a highly trained A&P, I cut my teeth on small engines.
What price you have for grain in Canada?
wheat is approx 440/ tonne canola approx 900/ tonne barley 390/tonne can dollar
@@heatherradawetz2457 you hav better price than in Poland canola 750 CAN/t, wheat ( for animals) 372 CAN/t, barley 327 CAN/t
Are you still answering questions?
Lots of times yes
You musta got some of your father in laws land
Have the same auger with same motor. It runs like crap just like yours. I hate it.
Oh look North American trucks have finally figured out robotised manual gearboxes, only 25 years behind the likes of Scania and European Volvo then...
You can keep your automatic transmission in big trucks⊠Iâll take my Kenworth with a CAT 3406E and 18 Speed all day Iong over a foreign truck, with all the bells and whistles that will eventually wear out and leave you stranded.
European vehicles are over engineered garbage from passenger cars to semis.
@@crandonborth bells and whistles thereâre so called trucks look like garbage
Allison automatic transmissions have been around for decades. But they cannot (currently) handle the power necessary to move 63.5 tonnes, but that will change. I actually heard of a guy pulling Super-Bs with a 500hp Allison 6-speed and he says it does amazingly well, but probably not good for a long haul. The 10-speed looks good but so far Allison is loath to sell it to anyone it seems. Constant, uninterrupted torque should increase fuel efficiency.
Automated manuals have been around for decades as well, but only recently have they really become good enough for truckers to be comfortable with them. I suspect in another 10 years, automated manuals will be out-selling the manuals. Even long-time truckers I talk to have nothing but good things to say about them and as their bodies age, with bad shifting shoulders, the automated manuals start being pretty sweet.
@@crandonborth lol agreed been proven thro millions and millions of miles ! Miles not KM !
Why would you put premium in it? Do you know why premium is premium? You have to be tuned to use it.
the advantage to premium is no ethanol to gum up your carb
@@rempellegacyranch4965 that must be a Canadian thing. In the states you still get alcohol in premium. Rec fuel is alcohol free, but cost more.
@@rempellegacyranch4965 itâs hard to find any Fuel without any Ethanol at all. Itâs not going to run right anyway Premium is less volatile than 87 which is probably why he has running issues. They make premium less volatile to combat Knock so when your Engine is Tuned for it as in a Sports Car, etc, you can run more timing.
Premium (in Western Canada) has a much longer shelf life than regular or mid-grade. Small engines start noticeably better after sitting with fuel in the tank. The fuel even smells much better. The price is much higher but saves the hassle of dumping and finding legal disposal of stale fuel that stinks and won't burn in the engine after sundown.
@@wssides Premium is less volatile than 87 that makes no sense since 91+ already burns worse than 87. You canât take 91+ and think it turns into 87 as it ages it doesnât work like that.
Still alive?
