Never leave home without your Deere key when window shopping.😂
That 314 with a high tip bucket would be a great bagger tractor, the agco (sisu) engine is produced in Finland and it does start in the cold
My father-in-law was in charge of the Agricultural Engineering section at the Swift Current Research Station before he retired. He built a plot harvester for their needs. We stopped there a few years ago and they took out some equipment that he had built. (I was showing my daughter some of the machines that her grandpa had built.) My claim to fame is that I taught school in Swift Current for two years at Central Public School and Oman Public School. By the way, Swift Current has changed quite a bit since living there in 1967.
Hello Mike
Vaderstad uses high-quality steel to build its machines, which makes them look lighter externally
A plot combine harvester is designed for harvesting small seed breeding and experimental fields. Its small size is ideal for research plots and helps to improve research and efficiency.
We see quite a few of them used by grass seed farmers
And the ones shown were in fact made in germany, actually next to my home. I was quite surprised to see a Zürn-machine in a canadian video ^^ Zürn makes some interesting machines especially for harvesting research plots
@@maxjaeger3715zürn’s are sold by JD dealers in Canada. There are quite a few of them along with wintersteigers for research farms in Canada. We personally had wintersteigers (2 deltas, and 1 quantum) where I worked last summer
These plot combine are crazy expensive for the size.
he knows that
Mike, that little Fendt at the end would be a perfect bagger tractor. You could put a high lift bucket on it and still clear the side of a semi.
It is kinda cute! Haha
I was eating supper while watching this. I almost blew my food out laughing when Mike took his own key out and opened jd door
Thanks Mike, you too a happy new year.😃
Thanks. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Happy New Year Mike, Ashton and to all of your family and your
farming team.
Merry Christmas Mike and a very Happy New Year to you and your family.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Mike spent the next hour ordering a new tractor as soon as he finished filming.
Happy Christmas and a fabulous new year Mike and family 👍👍
Merry Christmas and a great farming New Year! I really liked the small loader tractor!
Happy New Year Mike! See you in 24!
Epic moment - Mike pulls up to the Fendt Ideal9 combine "OH THE MEMORIES...yeah.....fair enough......MOVING ON FROM THAT" LOL Happy New Years Mike and if you read this....Brian's Farm Videos CZcams channel just purchased a 2023 Ideal9 t without a steering wheel....During his reveal your name was mentioned and Brian was asking for tips on setting up the ideal9. Hit him up if you have time.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Denmark
Merry Christmas God Bless you and your family.
Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS MIKE.👍👍
Nice video Mike! Especially the Fendt dealership part.
The Agcopower motors are pretty good. They are made in Finland and where formerly known as Sisu.
Good starters in cold 🥶weather as the are designed and produced in the cold.
Dont Sisu make after market track kits as well ?
@@themunter4488 No, that's probably the Canadian company Soucy. 😉
As a former custom applictor, I ran an RG1300B highflow systems 120' in a lot of terraces in Eastern Nebraska. We goobed a lot of grease on the boom slides and in 3 years no problems but then I left for a different job. I still had the old school joystick with all the section switches on it. We ran so many terraces with no auto height control that I wore out 3 sets of boom tilt switches and one board.
Happy new year Mike
Love the video keep up the great work
This… should get a ton of views. 👍🏽
our cooperative was producing wheat trial and canola in our fields, I saw this type of mini combine and an old modified John Deere. for the fendt 300, you will need to take the lifting bucket and a large rear weight on 3 points.
Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy New Year 🥳 Mike Ashtyn and Chapel
Great video Mike
Can you do a updated version of your equipment tour for both north and south farm
What are you seeing at seeding and combine unless you’re special and you don’t notice
Agreed, nothing like kicking tires.
Hi, great and exciting video❤
Yes the zürn is a German from 2015 it's made for either seed production or testing new seed. The 300 series fendt is actually old it's been built longer than fendt has been bought by Aco. I think a jd 3140 with a loader would probably do the trick if you put in diesel heater it will start even at minus 20 degrees Celsius except if the diesel is still too cold it will die. It's dead nuts reliable on our, witch has been worked hard because it was our biggest tractor on the farm, had to be done one headgasket a new seat and some hoses and some minur electrical stuff primarily wiring.
Great video
Merry Christmas, Mike!
Merry Christmas Greg!
Cool window shopping! We (I) do that over here in Norway as well ;D I didn´t know you had Väderstad seeders that big. Over here, anything built by them would last through at least two world wars, those things are SOLID! They actually test their equipment in a quarry for the endurance tests, running through piles of coarse rocks at 15 kph. I think the ground penetration will be good on these even if they aren´t very heavy - the teeth look really narrow, so they might go down easier than you´d think. It´s a shame they don´t have any bigger tanks though - that seems like the smallest problem in the world to make...
Agcopower engine is a Sisu engine made in Finland, really good engines and good starters in cold weather.
Air guard drier helped during a misty spring with dusty urea. Still have the system around. Waiting for a year I need it again.
Great engine in that 3series.
Sisu Power from Finland.🚜
Hey Mike, The Agco Power engines are actually SISU from Finnland...I guess they should start well ain cold conditions:-)
The old Air Cooled DEUTZ engines back then where supposed to be the best starting in cold and one of the best Diesel Engines ever made. What a pitty the did not manage to save that heritage.
That little fent at the end would make an awesome haying tractor 🚜
I grew up on a small farm in Wisconsin, where our fields were 40 acres at best so it is a blast to watch your operation, from planting to the harvest and your decisions along the way !! Just a thought...Your broadcast would progress greatly if you were to fold in the Hunting population ( show more deer, etc)
Great Post Xmas tour video thanks 😅
Hopeful you will do your own farm equipment tour
Love those little Fendts
You would save a lot of fuel going to the vaderstand seeders. We went from 76 ft bourgault mid rows to a 84 ft seedhawk and went down 4 US gallons a hour. And better placement. But your right you have to be a little more tender with it.
We put DD 6.5-inch subs integrated into the fibreglass reinforced buddy seat with sound deadener and little 1000w 5ch class D Amplifiers. Sounds great 👌🏻😂 along with better components. Edit: I seen the Ideal and thought oh, Mike is going to have a flashback 😂 and it happened.
Speaking from experience in Europe vaderstad kit is some of the best built and best quality
Haha Mike, if it wasn’t for that pesky missing cupholder, I bet you were seriously considering the Zürn as an X9 replacement 😂
Right?! 😆
Yeah 1 for each foot....
@@mikemitchell2554you should buy a zurn for chapel 🙂
I live not far from where Väderstad have their main factory and if there is one thing Väderstad is all about is high quality they have really tuff tests on everything..😊
Mike, thanks for the tour.
I dont mean to detract from your excellent videos but take a look at the impressive Trevor Struthers hillside farming videos.
in the netherlands the 314 are hot cookies, it would be my main tractor on my 90 acres farm, haha now its a Claas Arion with 120 hp, saving for a newer one..
we used to have deere powered tractor that were poor cold starter and would knock as if throwing a rod when cold, i went back to fendt in 2006 cold never caused trouble as long as the fuel was proper and the battery delivered... i guess canada cold is something else... i wish MWM was still around those were bulletproof engines...
We have 1400s with psi air systems on 620s for planters and cart tractors it will pull a 13 shank ripper at 8 inches easily
The university came out to our place and cut a test plot. I took some video of it. It is pretty cool.
Zürn is a german john deere dealer who took over the seed plot combines from hege,
Seed firms want to have good results from their work too…
With the lack of snow also in the Saskatoon area Ashtyn, Chapel & yourself won't be making any snow angels. 😂❄️❄️❄️🤣
Front fert. Back is seed. And you can crank the down pressure. No problem in hard ground
Oh really?.. Interesting.. One day I ll try one
The universal plot combine harvester ZÜRN 150 is a reliable and well-proven machine. Despite its compact design the ZÜRN 150 convinces with its harvest performance even at highest plot yields.
Vaderstad steel is something else than what you get in the industry. The only implements we didn’t brake were vaderstad.
Vädestad have also testfield, its made for little rocks.
Mike's thinking of a Fendt sprayer demo & a new front loading grain bag tractor, decisions decisions, sometimes too much choice is an actual problem!
The Plot combine was build in 2015 Baujahr is the year of production in German
greetings from Germany Mike
I’m not a farmer and I still love driving through dealerships
Better here than sitting with family.
The company Zürn that makes the plot combines also build headers for John Deere
LSW will give you more soil compaction compared to dualls with the same total with (two small cones compared to one large cone in the underground)
rubbish
I’ve not been around a Case combine either, but lots of people run them. They have choppers and spreaders here. In rice you couldn’t not have it spread.
Always plan travel route to go past maximum amount of dealers along with adding enough time to atleast do drive thrus
🔥heck ya Mike , I love touring round checking out the dealerships 🔥👊🔥🏍🔨⚙️🚜
When you are looking for a Lader Tractor maybe have a look on the new 6hundred Series of Fendt. Only 4 Zylinder but maybe huge enough to get on the Semi. They say it is the the AGCO Engine. Possibly there is no knowledge yet how good it starts or does not start at -20°C or lower.
Pretty fun to see a Swedish machine. I dont know how wide that one is. On our farm here in Sweden we use a Väderstad Rapid and that is about 6 meters 😂😂
Happy new year from Nort DakoTA . I wonder if that plot combine can be upgraded with an air reel?🧐. Best wishes, spring only 78 days away!!
get a Tip Toe bucket for the front loader and would improve the height you can load into
Time will tell how Fendt has improved their combines since you had the first series that they produced.
Brian Brown & his dad traded off their two combines & went with a Fendt 9T with no steering wheel that had previously been a demo unit matched up with a 50' Honey Bee header.
They are glad for larger combine capacity and feel it should suit their operation better while at the same time using one less operator.
That's awesome, I ll have to check in with him! Yes, I am sure they have improved them many times over 🙂
@@mikemitchell2554 I assume that there has also been some "Shop Talk" about what they like about their new large shop & what they might have wished they changed. Your future shop will come in handy when that day eventually arrives.
More snow which hopefully gives more moisture & a few years of better yielding crops would currently be higher on your bucket list.
Zürn is from Germany they build headers for John Deere combines which are probably not available in the US. You can maybe compare it to MacDon or Honey Bee but way smaller and they mostly build for JD if i'm right.
The baby combine is made in Germany and apparently can hold 8-10 bushel and cost around 250k for the basic model. At least that's the info I could find, I couldn't find any other price info.
that 9R is thick!
I think Chapel needs one of those little combines
Those Agco power engines are from Finland, part of former Valtra. They should start decent in the cold
mike we're waiting for the 620 review, especially cold starts ;)
BTP just had a vid of a 640 with 1400's pulling a riper, spun like crazy... same farm had a quad, no comparison....
Fendt RGS actually have the 8.4 SISU. What is different from the 1300 c series is they now run a single turbo, and no egr. New cabs will revealed for them soon.
Hey Mike if you'd like to check out research equipment in action I could check with my boss about it as I work at a private research company. And I'm sure we could work something out for some sort of tour or in field depending on the season.
I also work in research, I would love to see Mike look at some of it. Also I love your mods!
@@etrain757 Thanks
Mike, I’m glad you noticed that the new Deere cabs have a garbage sound system compared to the older ones. I complain to deere and my dealer all the time and the just look at me like I’m crazy.
Thanks for verry funny and educational contet! I want a video of you talking about how you run the farm with cooperation wit your family. I am just curious about how you coordinate the operation..
Mike magnifique vidéo et tracteur et les matériel agricole et les moissonneuse batteuse sont bien intéressante et la petite moissonneuse batteuse et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Coolness aside, wonder if the Big Buds pencil out, especially the one with the duals that you mentioned
The cute little Zürn 150! 🙂 not my favorite plot combine because of the simple threshing system with shaker-sieves. But they are made with john deere parts. Zürn is a big John Deere dealer in Germany and producer of combine heads.
Yeah we like the winterstieger deltas
And Mowers for Choppers
great 👌👌
Mike, you had a new year 2019 fendt. Did you think nothing would go wrong. Lol.
Sound bombed by an Air Tindi Dash7. Rare airplane
Swedish steel!
Mike, you should consider the 600 series fendts that were released as a new bagger tractor
300 is cheaper and lighter. Best for bagging if PTO power is sufficient.
Family yayy Kristen James here
The smol things adress is an hour and a half away from me xD greeting from Stuttgart 🇩🇪
Can't you get som sort of extender or something for the loader? That little Fendt 3 seems like a good bagger tractor. 🤷♂️
I suspect that eventually, JD will go like so many other implement deals have and become a joystick with GPS, steering. You really do not need a steering wheel anymore.
So Mike, Happy New Year to you, Ashton and Chapel by the way! so I was going to ask what you think of Bourgault being bought out by Linimar Corp and what that might mean for you guys in the future?
Fertilizer front knife and seed second
I would have loved to bring my camper/trailer out to you and keep the deer herd in check but the red tape in getting licenses was overwhelming !! And then my group disbanded..
I run a Fendt 934H chassis with an Amazone spreader. The fenders on the Fendt are amazing. I've been through a lot of mud and the machine stays clean. The ride isn't very good on it, pretty rough.
My 937H the hood is bolted on crooked. Yours straight? They ride rough. Terrible compared to other brands. Fuel leaks, air leaks, my autoboom is garbage. Recalibrates itself and then the tips either fly all the way up or into the dirt. Boom fold is so fast and violent it destroys stuff. Really needs some refinement.
