Channel Title: Mike Less - Farmhand Mike Channel Description: Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my YouTube Channel. I grew up on a farm in Ohio and went to school for Agricultural Mechanics. I have spent my entire life around farms and farm equipment. After school I was a technician at a Farm Equipment dealer close to my home. After several years at the dealer of setting up equipment and working on stuff I moved on to work for Gehl Company as a traveling field service rep. I did this for 14.5 years then went to work for Versatile Ag as a service rep for 13 years. I recently left Versatile and went to work for PFG America who is the Deutz Fahr Tractor distributor in the USA. I am a precision and product specialist for their 6 cylinder tractors. My career has me traveling all over this great country and with all the farming action I see I thought I should share it all on YouTube. All content on my channel is filmed by me and is not to be copied. Farmhand Mike is Trademarked.
