To someone who has never seen a Lentil sample on a combine before it looks pretty good,

[jimstepan]

I just love your style, Mitchell‼️ "just gotta put them to BED!!"

Words of warning Mike. Oily crops such as Soybeans, canola and such crops start fire easily in a drier. Use very low heat, and be mindful of the wind direction. So the wind doesn't blow any fodder coming out of the dryer, doesn't get blown around and sucked back in and get blown over the flame and sparks get blown into the grain column.

Hi Mike, I know you may already know this, but being a New Holland combine tech, I must say the CR combine does not have a shear bolt or coupler on their rotors, not saying they don't have issues from time to time with a bolt falling out, but pretty bullet proof design, still rooting you try out a CR one day!

I think Ok! lentils grow in cultivation. Heartly thanks!

[halwilliams]

Thanks for the lesson on the lentils. Very informative

Your Round Up
Field will take longer to come ready. Reglone is designed to burn off and harvest within a week. Not really the chemicals fault. The weather has the final say as usual.
Great video as always

Hi from oz mike. Never heard of shear couplers. On modern balers there are things called torque clutches. When there is jam or blockage these go of with godawfull racket. As they slow down to reset they impart more torque to blockage and force it through. They totally replace shear pins in drive lines. And I love them.

Good looking lentils! You know Mike you are a real farmer. Nothing but complaining in this video and at the same time I can tell that are making money of this field😁

[johnwehner]

Great video, never grew lentils good info.

[NeisenTransport]

Good morning sir! Thanks for the content.

If I ever make it out of BC and come through Sackatchewan, would sure like to make a stop and shake your hand. Never knew until now what great job our farmers do and you my friend are far from a farmer.

[kegwf]

Man, I would put those lentils straight into my pot, they look delicious! Lol

[rdyardie]

As I am watching this, I realize that we just made lentil soup. I know where lentils come from. 😊

Will you review the new Case Quadtrac?

[bobwest]

Hi Mike. Is there anything you can spray on lentils to stress them enough to produce pods but not kill them e.g . very low rate weedkillers that you would normally use on a wheat crop?

[roytempleton]

The LH rotor fuse really sucks to change. I've been there done that. It's always the part that is the hardest to change that goes bad.

[OldGuyAdventure]

When I was much younger, we used to use Raglone, a powder that would kill everything for 5 years. You applied it to a clean field and cultivated it. Apparently, potato farmers use this stuff rather than cultivating a lot.

[PeterIJmker]

hey mike. of course I have a question. why don't you grow normal grain in the low spots

[badboysfpv]

are you rototilling or harvesting lots of dust
