The X9 = Nothing 'runs' like a Deere 😂

** John Deere had confirmed that they were coming down to our farm for some serious demoing but have last minute decided to cower away from the challenge of me pushing that combine to see what it was actually made of.

** Like you guys, I am pretty disappointed in John Deere with all this boasting, and promoting they have been doing, saying they can challenge any combine out there and were willing to put money on it even! (See their challenge at Agritecnica 2019)

** But yet when they realized the competition they had to run up against down here, and that I ll call a spade a ♠ , they suddenly canceled the demo and moved the combine to a "safe" demo location! 😂 🤷‍♂️

** Holy cow does that look bad Deere, get ur butt down here and put your money 💵 where your mouth is!

That's too bad, would have loved a little Mike Mitchell demo commentary of this machine! Maybe next time?

Are you sure the donkey wasn't a John Deere security guard? Looked mean enough.

“Up here, I test stuff...I will test the BALLS out of this combine...if you don’t like that, don’t even bring it down...oh wait...”
Loved this

It is obvious that the cup holder is inadequate and didn't want everyone to know.

News Flash: I saw this thing in Winter Wheat harvest, it was a Disaster. In Texas it it didn’t run for more than 5 hours. They had JD Harvest Support all over this thing. I was on a crew with JD combines, we had al kinds of issues. The support folks from Moline just shook their heads we asked how the X9 was doing? In Oklahoma it ran 2 days, JD pulled it and sent it Kansas. We caught up to it in Tribune KS. It didn’t run for days. Just in Kansas one tech told me they spent 65k trying to get this thing to run. I did see it traveling thru town under its own power, yea Deere. The X9 is way to heavy for transport combine for a wheat harvest crew. Your Demo was canceled for “not ready for prime time “ reasons. Just say in.

Nothing but the truth you said what you had to say keep it up Mike love the videos 👌💯

[willerickson]

I’m 62 years old, so things have changed some since I was a kid working on my grandfather’s farms. The sheer size of farm equipment is amazing today.

We are pulling for you Mike. We think a good selling point for any manufacturer, would be to say that it has been tested by Mike Mitchell, and has his seal of approval. I imagine that you have heard that Fendt has come out with a new 2-track tractor, the 1167 Vario MT with 673 HP. Almost every other comment from around the world, says to get one to Mike Mitchell, so he can try it out. Sorry to put so much pressure on you, but we know that you will put any product through its paces, and be fair about it.

[dudleyglass]

They scared that x9 won't run with the fendt? Or just scared you'll give an honest review on their flagship combine?

[twdpullerfl]

They don’t want to run up against the Fendts. Oh yea look how fast we are “with a 40’ header”. 🤷🤷🤷🤷

How to make a combine complicated.

Deere: hold my beer

Maybe it crossed the border and it’s in a 14 day quarantine.

We have 3 X9's running in the UK, all operating in my area. They are all on farms that are running in some JD prototype scheme thing. They are being super cagey with the harvest data, my friend is one of the JD combine reps for this area and even he isnt allowed to see the technical data from the telematics. He did tell me that long standing JD customers are allowed to book an appointment to go and view a machine, but they aren't allowed to drive it or even go in it. All this to me sounds like a machine that cant deliver on all the promises made !!!

[Phantomthecat]

Sounds like it’s not performing to their expectations so didn’t want a demo to be done by someone with a camera and a YouTube channel.

6:39 They probably were like:

"Don't let that Yankee to close to ze Mähdrescher"

The only and one...Amazing, Truthful, and straight forward..Mike

[mattyanick]

Must’ve heard you have a Massey 760 and that scared them off!
