Hello so I’m sitting here watching your video and you’re talking about all the trucks and stuff that you bought and I just wanted to let you know that yellow freight is gone out of business and they’re selling brand new trucks 2024 Volvo Peterbilt Kenworth right now on Ritchie Bros. auctions they got them up in the great lakes and also in Los Angeles take a look great video. Hope you’re well and can’t wait to see when you Also can’t wait to see the new Daria carousel that you’re building. Can’t wait to see what that looks like when it’s finished.
Andy is one treasure trove of knowledge. My hats off to you sir. ALL dairy farmers have to be jacks of all trades and tough embrees but damn man you do it all. Just don't try and tell him there might be a better way to do something ;)
It's interesting that some experts give you their 2¢ worth of opinions, but don't offer you a dime to do it their way! Ya dance with the one you came with, and you know what you want to use and can afford. Great video, Andy!
That chopper will never die with that motor in it you can't be a John Deere Chopper my uncle had one of the first self-propelled choppers that John Deere ever made
The clumps are like a lawnmower collecting wet grass to the underside and slow the blades down giving a crappy cut. Then once in awhile clumps come shooting out. Chopping up money 💰
We run wide heads for the simple fact in 17 to 22 ton wheatlage it is nice to be wide.The 46r headers we run is somewhat ok.The auger doesn’t float it is stationary.When reversing a slug out it will pushed the back of header out.The auger can’t handle really heavy material it locks down.
Excellent video Andy.Believe it or not bought a baby 8100 second hand chopper and hasn't missed a beat except chocking identical to your selves.🙈🙈🙈🙈😀👍👍👍
Highly recommend Milwaukee air compressor. I don’t know if it is better than the inflator or not. The compressor was a good buy for my ranch. Another great video. Keep’em coming
Andy, just a question of curiosity, would you get a 2nd chopper since you now have 2 heads or just keep one as a spare? Shame you don't have 2 choppers running, can possibly get more done... pending on the trucks. Get some Tire-Ject for that tire Andy, stuff works to seal tire leaks
@farmingfixingandfabricating Andy just wondering what does a brand new hay head go for these days? Seems like you made the right decision with a new hay head versus almost a million dollar new chopper! When the new corn head coming?
If Andy is a treasure trove of knowledge his old man must be an encyclopedia of knowledge and know how…I’m curious how the fff back then was different to todays fff
We had a 1970s Ford 4000 gas that finally needed a new clutch in 1990 or so. Had a heck of a time getting the right one. Finally determined it had a heavier clutch because Grandpa had gotten a good deal on a demonstrator. I don't remember the particulars.
@RealJohnWayne you're welcome to your beliefs, as am I Mr The Real John Wayne. Only difference is that I have been a farmer that used A"demo" unit and the ones we got were not as good as the demo. But thank you for your typical liberal comment
09:00 Had a bonfire inside the silage container, or just the result from high pressure washing? Changing all tires on the trucks - must been a task again.
GOOD VIDEO ANDY /LUCKIE BE THE MAN TO PUT A RING ON ALEXS HAND / EASY TO SEE THE PRIDE JERRAD HAS IN HIS TRUCK SPOT ON YOUNG MAN /NICE OUTFIT / CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU.
Good video, and don't regret not videoing the tire change. Appreciate the videos that you do make for us. Glad to go along, and glad to see you have the new head to move forward.
Great video. .Glad you were able to.locate a new head. Sounds like the new dealer.owners will continue providing excellent service. Hope all the employees got a pay raise. :)
Yeah it’s pretty tough to watch dealerships get sold! We had one Quincy Illinois that sold. Sydenstricker‘s out of Missouri went in with Noble out of Illinois about two or three years ago. Progress is not always good
I haven't watched your channel very long and at that time I never even heard of a chopper. All I've ever seen were conventional equipment that is used in Illinois where I grew up. I find the chopper is an interesting piece of equipment. I worked where they made mining trucks.
Stone sweep wasn’t advancing just sweeping…. Door got pushed open and I wanted to get any and all material removed from in behind stone device…. Digest that info for a few minutes….. there is another way to do that and I’ll let you describe how I should have done that…. You haven’t been commenting lately where have you been there boy?
Doufous over at Doufous Agricultural and Trucking wants the bigger head. . . So obviously your making a huge mistake bucking the Turtle at Doufous. I hope your not making a giant mistake
The new dealership is going to kiss your ass you are one of there biggest customers . Now take advantage of them and threaten to change brands and save a lot of money lol
Nice hay head . I hope it serves you as well as the first one did. Thanks for the video Andy.
Your new chopper head seems to be working well. It would be nice if everything works perfectly being new.
Thanks for the ride along. I highly recommend the Milwaukee tire inflator. I carry one in the pickup.
Wow, your daughter know how to do a thorough pre-trip truck inspection.
Maby mae wes can make you those wear parts , Look him up he is in the vidioes off Larsen farms
this farm could not function without Andy, jmho.
Good job Sarah, when did she start driving a manual?
Little while
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing with all of us 😊
The new head is missing the option for the "Plastic crop sliding blocks" 8170 $214.00
Andy I gave Alex a at girl for having you check the rear an drive shift for any leaks all take care of her truck 👍🚜

Hopefully dealership gets you a new tire for chopper under warranty since leak was in sidewall
Andy I believe May Wes has them plastic filler plates.
Seven trucks that's a day's work already 😂
Andy is one treasure trove of knowledge. My hats off to you sir. ALL dairy farmers have to be jacks of all trades and tough embrees but damn man you do it all. Just don't try and tell him there might be a better way to do something ;)
Are the girl learning to drive the the trucks with a third pedal in the floor now?
Looks like it

?
Really Andy is it beer 30 😂😂. well no video of changing truck tires on seven trucks unbelievable twiddling your thumbs. Oh yes.
Got started back watching your videos. On slow speed tires I use slime which is for slow speed tires.
Alex graduated to tractor and trailer good good job
ANDY,, YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE 46R!!!! HAHAHA HAHAHA, HAD TO PISS TAKE...
Bro, you should have bought the 46R.
Hahaha Hahaha!!
UA-cam farming expert here, yep, he definitely should have!
He shoulda just bought a whole chopper a 9900 a year or two old that came back from a custom chopping outfit that trades at 800 or so cutterhead hours
@@Otherrandomguy42 Andy is so lucky to us experts here...
Anyone chipping in a few $'s to help him? I didn't think so....
I'm noticing Jarrod doesn't have the "silage pipes" on yet, I'd like to see them on the Mack, and use up some of your carbon credits

why is sarah drivig the other truck. is that truck to her liking?
She gave her truck up

you need to go hang out with grumpy and jimmy tonight
👍👍👍👍
would have thought they would leave the uesed demo head and kept the new un used head for the coming demo chopper
We're sitting at 9.75 inches of rain for June. And we are on the low side of the area. Add another 1.2 from this morning.
Location? Upper Midwest? Hawaii? Lol!

@@steveb6103 Thank you
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
After the new parlor transition with the cows moved, would you be able to video/walk around the old parlor?
I was hoping the same thing
Not with cows in it. His milk buyer does not want it filmed.
@@beckyumphrey2626 yes of course. I meant after the cows had been moved to the new parlor 😊😊
Andy maybe you could show all the flotation and other tread types when the trucks are stopped?
How much difference is the new one and the old one?
They are the same
The Air leaf is terrible for off highway use and when they get some wear on them the bags get all crooked
Show some unload and packing
The professionals need to run on your ground since they are used to pe t feet level ground.
have you ever tried tireject tire sealant? it’s a little expensive but seems to be one of the best on the market.
Changing tyres on seven trucks before the days choping you guys don't hang around much
the truck Sarah is driving looks like the bed caught on fire the paint is all gone.
Oh well, not your truck
Yup
You will like the small tanked air compressor
The content is very good
Another good video Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽 👍
would solid gauge wheels better than air up? we ran solid tires on our zero turn decks...saved a lot of time on tire repairs...
Maybe
Andy, just a question of curiosity, would you get a 2nd chopper since you now have 2 heads or just keep one as a spare? Shame you don't have 2 choppers running, can possibly get more done... pending on the trucks.
Get some Tire-Ject for that tire Andy, stuff works to seal tire leaks
@farmingfixingandfabricating Andy just wondering what does a brand new hay head go for these days? Seems like you made the right decision with a new hay head versus almost a million dollar new chopper! When the new corn head coming?
I would help the dealer put some hours on the new chopper they need to demonstrate.
Andy, could you mount a bigger air tank in your truck and plug it into the chopper for more volume?
Not necessary
I love when you guys put the flotation tires on 👍🏻
Tks for sharing Andy and Hourigan family farms..
For the past several years I've been using a tire sealer called "Tire Ject". It WORKS VERY WELL.
If Andy is a treasure trove of knowledge his old man must be an encyclopedia of knowledge and know how…I’m curious how the fff back then was different to todays fff
Don't let OLF hear you used fix afalt!!!! It's tire jec etc.....I think lol. I keep up the good work!!!
Good content Andy and team thanks
Wish you would wear a dust mask to help save your lungs Andy. Blowing of extremely dusty stuff chopper head ect.
Andy,the Millwalke battery powers air compressor works great.Have one it's great. Thanks for the videos.
Why is Sarah running truck 18? Is there something wrong with the other one?
One of the older guys is running hers
They wanted the demo chopper back , why you ask. My belief has always been because they are built better
We had a 1970s Ford 4000 gas that finally needed a new clutch in 1990 or so. Had a heck of a time getting the right one. Finally determined it had a heavier clutch because Grandpa had gotten a good deal on a demonstrator. I don't remember the particulars.
No they aren't
Sounds like rural equivalent of an “urban myth”.
Lol........😂
How's the Sasquatch sightings going.....? 🤔
@RealJohnWayne you're welcome to your beliefs, as am I Mr The Real John Wayne. Only difference is that I have been a farmer that used A"demo" unit and the ones we got were not as good as the demo. But thank you for your typical liberal comment
Where is charlie
09:00 Had a bonfire inside the silage container, or just the result from high pressure washing? Changing all tires on the trucks - must been a task again.
Your neck must hurt. Could ya mount a camera on the chopper snout and monitor in the cab.
It has a camera
I know for a fact if that nz 15 is running right you don't have a truck that runs with that motor it's the gears that matters
Is this the header from Texas, for 52.500 dollar ?
No
Are those tires on the W9 the ones from the shop over in eastern ny, I forget the name?
Thanks again for the upload
Hi Andy !
nice hay head !
Good job everybody !
Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day at the farm ! 💖🙋♂️
GOOD VIDEO ANDY /LUCKIE BE THE MAN TO PUT A RING ON ALEXS HAND / EASY TO SEE THE PRIDE JERRAD HAS IN HIS TRUCK SPOT ON YOUNG MAN /NICE OUTFIT / CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU.
Can you explain why you don't cover your trucks when you transport the products to the bunk. It seems you would loose a lot on the road. thanks
You don’t show any cutting or maintenance of your cutting equipment. Do you cut your own or have someone else cut it for you?
We cut our own
He has published cutting videos in the past.
Are these John Deere’s own header or a kemper header painted John Deere colour ?
John Deere has owned Kemper since 1997.
You need a coiler for your fuel nozzle on the back of your truck
Good video, and don't regret not videoing the tire change. Appreciate the videos that you do make for us. Glad to go along, and glad to see you have the new head to move forward.

I miss Illinois farm folks. I am.from Genesis over by Quad Cities. Migrated south 35 years ago with my husbands job move.
In Europe no one drives trucks in the field. It's very likely contributing to all the mechanical problems you have with the trucks
In America trucks are used in fields all the time, especially in the oil fields.
How are the mahindra Roxor holding up
Good
Awesome video thanks Andy nice job 🚜👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛
My M18 tire inflator is one of the best tools I've ever had.
Another very interesting video Thank you
All the employees and sales people still there you know.?
Could you us your roller to. Smooth out the ruts?😊
Yeah
I haven't watched your channel very long and at that time I never even heard of a chopper. All I've ever seen were conventional equipment that is used in Illinois where I grew up. I find the chopper is an interesting piece of equipment. I worked where they made mining trucks.
We have them here across the creek Missouri. Quincy Illinois area
Thanks Andy..
ok
Hello!
😂. LOL
Caz must feel sorry for you 😢
👍
You should use the compressor on the army truck
Yeah but I didn’t have the army truck with me
@@FarmingFixingFabricating next time
👍
very good I like
Hey Andy & Family!!! Like you're bodies with the extended head board!!! Gives you that extra protection and a little more room. Good job 👍
Get some tirejet
They say that sometimes "Two heads are better than one"........
Knives are sharp.....goes and resharpens the knives......WHY?????
Stone sweep wasn’t advancing just sweeping…. Door got pushed open and I wanted to get any and all material removed from in behind stone device…. Digest that info for a few minutes….. there is another way to do that and I’ll let you describe how I should have done that…. You haven’t been commenting lately where have you been there boy?
Andy , Does the hay ever get moldy?
If it stayed in the field too long and get wet
Doufous over at Doufous Agricultural and Trucking wants the bigger head. . . So obviously your making a huge mistake bucking the Turtle at Doufous.
I hope your not making a giant mistake
Jared still have the MACK?
Yes
@@FarmingFixingFabricating I just wondered. Hadn't seen it in use lately
The new dealership is going to kiss your ass you are one of there biggest customers . Now take advantage of them and threaten to change brands and save a lot of money lol
I don’t play those games
