I love it Mike uses his turn signal even though there is not a car within a 100 miles.
Do it every time, never forget it.
Lol I was going to comment look a Canadian that uses a turn signal đ
Around here I wish more folks were like Mike and signaled, even some of the time. But that's too much work for the important people lol
U just wear it out if nobody is around to see it. But it is a good habit to have.
I always have my emergencies on when Iâm roading and donât always use my blinkers since I have those but had one time I was turning into a narrow county road entrance with a wide plow not knowing I had a cop behind me and I only saw when I made it into the road as I was too busy watching my turn.
She is trying to do her job and Scorsese is looking for the best shot. But I really appreciate your work Mike!
Your Father-in-law must be a great guy. It is one thing to take his daughter but he gets grandkids so he can deal with that. But you also took one of his best equipment operators and he still lends you his truck. That is impressive.
I always hit the LIKE đ button before I even open the video. History (almost two years) tells me itâs a certainty that Iâll enjoy the content. Even the road trips are worth âriding alongâ
Ashtyn is a gem you two work so well together you're a lucky man
Mike, you seem to be a fine young Man. Personality plus. I wish you an Ashton all the best with your the birth of your first child. Mike, you know about safety around equipment. My friend you are taking chances to get these pictures that we all enjoy but, think of your lively Wife and newborn on the way. It only takes ONE SLIP and Ashton would be raising that little sweetheart alone. Itâs not worth it. Have a Blessed day my young friend !
In England we use Propcorn BP for pickling barley feed corn when the corn has a high moisture content . You don't have dry it once done !
Great video Mike! Thanks!
Awesome ,Ashtyn does so well .What a great choice in picking such a great lady . You are swathing which is something that is not done everywhere .Take care .
Back about 1960, our "swather" was simply a set of tapering flat metal tines bolted to the back side of the mower sickle bar. Oats or wheat was then formed into a windrow for combining.
Thank you Mike and Ashton
Ashteyn Is an awesome operator I'd hire her for swathing hay crop
Great job swathing Ashtyn
Awesome looking swather Mike
That was priceless reaction from Ashtyn when you went up the other side... LOL LOL LOL
Great video Mike good luck combining
Mike you should leave a camera with Ashtyn so she can record some videos
Ashtyn doesn't like being on camera
He doesn't use a camera he just uses his phone. We wouldn't get any videos if he had to use a camera.
Hello Mike and Ashtyn . Hope you guys are doing well and hope harvest is going good . On the backside of the end covers on the header on the swather thereâs a hole that has a latch for opening it . Hope this will help . Itâs the same are macdon header for our combines . Take care and talk you guys soon .
LOL "mike dead man walking". I told you to be careful around her right now. ROFL. The right person at the controls, smart of you to stay out of the way and let the expert run the machine. Good Job Ashtyn. Go easy on him, he can't help himself.
Only ever ran the old versatile, or versa-pile swathers. I call them that because they were worn out long before I ran them. Set up a couple new MacDons back in the early 2000s and a Case in the late. This thing actually looks nice. Had me laughing for a minute when Ashton noticed you on the wrong side of the cab! đ
Hi Mike. I think Fendt having been watching your videos. The 900 and 1000 are now available with an optional laminated windshield and a self cleaning air filter for the engine.!!
I'm impressed how weed free Ashtyn's barley is - considering how weedy it was prior to planting.
My dad put me on a A JD with a 12 ft. Massey pull type, spent days on end going in circles, learned a lot that summer, grew up from the sand box to putting in 10 hr days and eating out of a bucket, things have changed since the early 60's. Had just turned 10
That is or was a problem.We were looked at as. free labor.A number of my friends went to other types of trades and professions.They were burned out on all the long. hours that they endured at younger ages
Mike, great video with Ashtyn in control of the swather. Greetings from central Illinois.
Swathers have come a long way since I was a kid cutting hay for my uncle. He had a 910 New Holland (which was old when I was running it) it had steering levers like a tank.
910 was a good one. I had a 903 "Speedrower". Although it cut well, there was nothing related to "speed" with that machine!
started on and new holland 905. I really enjoyed running it when I was a kid
The reversible fan is a pretty darn good idea! Gott give the engineers credit there!
Been around for years. Nothing new. Should be standard
Something mesmerising watching this !
11:26 ah man Mike I felt that. Many a time I've been flying in and out of a machine to hook up a chain or reposition it and my head went full bore into the door frame. It sure does hurt.
Oh my. Engineers as well as sales person. Have a problem here when machine delivered "Oh. Next Wednesday? I will get the engineer to call. Sorry about that......."
Good show Ashtyn. Mike, flowers and best meal.
The appearance of that swather driving backwards has a futuristic SiFi quality about it.
The fact that your sales guys get out of their pickup is impressive. Down here itâs more of a we take your money and if you need help then you call the shop. Lol.
Get over the X9 deal. I don't know where he read it last year but my son read that the combine that Mike and MANY others were scheduled to demo was sent to a big producer in I think it was Kentucky to replace a x9 that burned. Mike isn't the only one that didn't get to demo an X9 last summer. Mike had the option to demo a Claas and an X9 this year but he didn't take them because of the poor quality crops.
@@delbutler885 ok not sure where the x9 thing came from. Iâm an actual farmer that runs John Deere stuff and our salemen never help with anything thatâs outside of the ac. Then the shop guys have to come out and then the shop guys get pissy at the sales guys because they arenât getting paid or whatever. Itâs kind of a John Deere thing down here in the south. Donât really care much about their million dollar combine weâve been running there nearly million dollar cotton pickers for over 10 years. I was just impressed that his sales guy was out hooking a header on. Our sales guys donât know how to put a tractor in reverse. But they know how to order equipment and thatâs all I need them to do.
@@BaileyFarming I'm a farmer in Idaho that runs John Deere and Agco equipment. Our salesmen on both brands know how stuff works. They are always running escort for the delivery truck. I've never had a piece of equipment delivered where the sales people didn't help with the setup on the farm. They generally come in front is the truck with someone from the service department behind.
@@delbutler885 Iâm not being smart at all. That is truly foreign to me. We buy multiple pieces per year and Iâve only seen a salesman at our farm maybe three times in the past 20 years and that was just to look at our trades. Most of the time we have to just send them pictures. Itâs pretty sad. I am honestly glad that service is still a thing in some parts. That was the first thing I noticed in the vid was that his sales guys were out there helping. That doesnât happen here. Our John Deere dealership has 25 stores local to us (within 300 miles) and they know we donât have any options and they treat us that way.
Josh Bailey all I can say is WOW. We have been dealing with our dealers for decades. Even if we pick something up at the dealership the sales and service department are hands on.
Great Machine and your Lady Cooks Dinner as Well đ đźđđźđ
Super!!!đ it works good!!!đ
Awesome machine!
Ohhh hellooooo there! Fancy looking!
I would love to operate that all day!! I have never operated a swather before but i have operated a lot of tractors before and i'm a good student, let me have it for a few hours and i will be a pro at it!!
Looks a much healtier a crop than the 1bu/ac from down south đ
One thing you don't get with the video is the smell. I LOVE the smell of fresh cut crop on the green side, especially through low spots with a few weeds. Just watching the video triggers that smell for me even though its been over 20 years since I have smelled it.
Awesome Thanks for sharing
I pre-delivered and worked on a lot of those Macdon heads it's kind of funny to see them with John Deere logos because they are the same shape of plastic. There's small holes on the inside of the ends with a lever you push in to open the sides up.
Just like watching John Deere equipment- something I can relate to!
You scaring Ashton was priceless, she jumped out of her seat!
15:27
Would love to hear Ashtyn's thoughts on it, compared to what she's used to.
Pretty nice swather. Iâd love to see a demo of a massy. Thanks for another great video
No comparison⊠macdon out swathes a massy in any condition
Iâve no experience with a Massy Draper header but I run one with a discbine at work and I love it
@@starks1414 hahaha thats bs amd you know it. 2 best swathers out are MF and Macdon. We run Massey and id put it up against a MD any day of the week. Hreat swathers that do a great job and are a hell of alot easier to hook up in the field compared to that thing. I laughed for 5 minutes with all the things they had to hook up and do.
That's a BIG windrower!
Good job
Good video i now how they move swather header.
20th!!! Big up the good work Mike!
what we do with bad areas of the field in Norway, dig a hole and make a pond, plant some treess and some wildflowers that bees like. then we go claim money from the goverment for doing work for the good of the enviroment. it pays better even if the area was full of high yield crop lol
KNUCKLE MEAT đđȘbeen there many times brotherđ
That's a big row hope the weather plays it's part. Good luck.
Hey mike, I've been swathering a reasonable lot in the Netherlands, mostly canola but you name it we swathered it. looking at the video, and seeing the material flow through the header, i think you're running your real to low, the way it "pulls"through the crop you could say it is pre-thressing the crop. in Holland we swather the crop in a far more ripened stage, we try to almost not touch the crop with the real. If you have you're ground speed high enough the material flow into the header, onto the drapers will be going by itself. compare this with cutting a piece of rope with a sharp knive very slow or very swift cut. The slow one will puss the rope away, the swift on will cut it with almost no movement of the rope.
Otherwise a nice video and proud to see a lady driver.
Nice machine
I think the guys need to step back and let Ashtyn do her thing due to her swathing experience. đ€Łđ
This unit may be green and although Ashtyn prefers red she most likely has more hands on experience than all the guys combined.
Definitely.. Then all 3 of us đ
Salut super machine tank you vidéo magnifique
It's a good swatter just had some final drive Seals leak
28:35 đ€đȘđœ great!
But also lucky she did not go into labor instantly đ
Good morning Ashtyn
Saludos desde MĂ©xico đČđœ
Mike everytime: whoo.. sorry about that guys
Great video. One of these days, Ashtyn is going to beat you up for scaring her. Lol Hope harvest is going well.
Nice video
The look on her face! đ
28:26 Best part đđ
stubby end guards are less prone to breaking when doing low spots and dragging the ends
Now you doing your workout Mike.đ
Well the green paint fan boys are happy.
i would pay "some" money to se a Ashtyn-view of you running sideways beside the header. xD
Hello Mike good good, đđȘđđźđč
We don't have a swather on our farm but we do have the header for when are done swathing though
Good afternoon
I assume Ashtyn edits these videos??đ great video everyone!! Being from đźđȘ Iâve never heard or seen this swrathing of barley but it looks like a good idea for certain reasons
Ha "Mike" you are amazing my dream I'll work for you too.
I think they might be called Sow Thistle.
I'd go with the new CASE WD5 series. A lot more horse's under the bonnet..đ
Great video, I really enjoy when you try out new equipment. That looks like a nice swather and it appears to be doing a great job. I wonder how it compares to the Case IH?
MacDon is far superior machine compared to the CNH units .
You can sure hear the hydrostatic noise from the hydraulic pumps.
Now that itâs all set up, the demo hours are done and itâs time to send it back. Lol.
I love farming â€ïžâ€ïž I am Indian farmer
Sure beats the old Massy 36 I grew up cutting hundreds of acres of hay with
Iâd like to see your reaction when you see an organic field full of weeds. đ
Ok .Mike, I know she loves the honey bee, but u gotta ask her, the mac don lays a better cereal swath..., I ran both...just can't seem to lay a decent ceral swath with honey bee
Don't ever be sorry for being who you are Mike. Your laugh is just fine.
I agree, it's his creepy hand waving that has us all concerned! Tee hee!
We use those to cut mint but we went back to macdon
Those guards are called rock guards I had them on my hay bine
You know Ashton won't like the deer. Lol
@19:52 It's either Hawkweed, Sow Thistle, or Wild or Prickly Lettuce, idk for sure they all kind of look the same to me.
Looks like hawks beard is the weeds. Kinda looks like a very tall dandelion.
Mike your playing with fire! A pregnant lady is dangerous at the best of times, but scaring her like thatâŠ.well that could of ended badly, she might have had that baby right then and there! How would you explain that to John Deere? đ
Sad day for Ashtyn finding out that Green is better than yellow! Sorta like the day you found out Santa wasnât real!đ
Yellow? Ashtyn is a red fan.
Somebody lied to you Santa is real đ
Magnifique machine la john deere combien ha Ă lâheure svp merci vidĂ©o super đđ
đ
The w series from Deere is the same as the m series from macdon and westward
So the demo team comes out and hasnât hooked up the demo machine beforeâŠ. Return to sender đ
Thatâs no funâŠyouâre not even getting barley beards down your neck like the good oleâ days on a John Deere 780. Had an umbrella and an AM radio beside me, good times
Fala chefinho đ!
At 19:30 when you commented on it I thought you were somehow riding the header until you said otherwise.
The JD W170 seems better balanced nose to tail than your current machine. What did Ashtyn think?
What no 80 ft header demo? Thought you love bringing a machine to it's knees? Ashtyn seems to be having a blast
Is the combine you got in operation on the home farms
Hey Mike! Is the auger used for heavier crops? Keep up the good Videos. Hello from Chinook, MT.
For canola
