It doesn’t matter which one of your kids you work with, you truly look like you enjoy it. It has to be a great feeling seeing how much they have learned about the family business. Congrats Andy.
I've seen comments about Jered and Sarah having things broken and fixing lots of stuff. You gotta take into consideration that Jared and Sarah probably do more work (hour wise) than everyone else and usually stuck with the harder jobs where equipment is stressed to the max with unfavorable conditions. Id hire either 1 in less than heartbeat but that will never happen because they are such an asset to the Hourgan operation. Keep up the good work Sarah, Jared, Charlotte, Andrew, Alex, Nathan, Andy and all the others who keep that dairy running daily.
First rule of mower is never step on running mower. Everybody knows the rules. Sarah makes me laugh, so exited all the time. Good fix Andy, getting your money's worth out of that mower. Best regards from Indiana.
Looks like it's been done by a professional. Awesome job Andy. Sarah not afraid of getting dirty. Love your shop videos. Keep the action and knowledge coming. You all stay safe!!
It's just great seeing kids being raised the correct way, out of all the projects you do that's the most important, and the main reason you do all those other projects.👍👍
When a terrible health is making life it self pretty hard, i have to say that there is a lot of medicine in watching all these videos with the Hourigan´s. I just wish all of you knew how much i appreciate these videos! From the bottom of my heart; Thank you so much for making and posting all these videos here on UA-cam. ❤
Put a new PTO shaft on our baler last year. The first thing I did was remove the government plastic parts. Only to make it easier to grease. Can't grease it while its running can you.😊
Those mower decks are always too thin to last. I thought about building a mower to withstand a rock with a 1/4" plate deck with a 3/4" plate for the gear box. The 3/8" braces above the deck would need to allow water to run off. The only I haven't figured out is if the hydraulic can lift the extra weight. Looks like a few trailing wheels are need of work as well.
On the crop chopper, looking from the rear, the left wheel has a super wobble and on the right dual the outer wheel has a small wobble. You could have put some edge on the blades, saves fuel and/or gains speed.
if you don't have guard on pto axles in Denmark and the Labor Inspection Authority comes to check. then it costs $1500 in fines for each axle that lacks guards
Chuck says you only payed 200 for that mag drill-mine is a Fein and I payed just under a grand! Sarah should try some dualshield corewire-it has a tick more ductility than shortarc,runs hot but wets in nice-good for anything over 3/8 thick
Those mower shields would probably help contain a loose driveshaft if a joint let go. A shaft flying around loose at speed could do some serious damage
Tks for sharing Andy and Sarah. You two do Awesome work together. Your remote drill seems nice. Does it run on 110? Would it work out on a job site? If there is a generator you use? Or does it draw some heavy ampage?
Great video. With the shape of your corn head and the mower I'm wondering if a 6 or 8 row chopping corn head should be considered. Or maybe look into devastators.
Andy, if that 1/2" plate is cracking out like that, you might think about installing a 1" plate. You'll only need to add longer bolts. It won't change anything with the gear box or the stump jumper. Yes, need to thin the herd of stupid people. Great video as always, cheers :)
Poorly it's made? That thing's been around a while and is still quite serviceable. It's covered thousands of acres under the worst of conditions, rocks, roadside garbage, and all manner of crap. I submit its pretty well made. If it was junk, it wouldn't be there.
Nothing wrong with that, teach a skill done by hand and AI will never take it away , did that with our daughter , now living in Portugal working for a virtual company out of Massachusetts and can change the tire for her husband . You are doing good providing the tools for your children success, endorse support for their success even if it means to explore a foreign adventure as a dad it's hard.
Was wondering why John Deere and other companies put safety shields on equipment if they are not needed. Safety First is a mindset not a requirement. That why they call them accidents!
Because the government makes them put them on. You have to be mighty stupid to get within ten feet of that thing when it's running, let alone on top of it.
If the one side was in that condition, it's almost a guarantee that the other side is also. I would have taken it apart for an inspection... but now you know how to repair it when you need to do the other one!
Yup.....Left wheel looks like it's off the Fred Flintstone model. Right wing drive shaft has a bit of a shake to it too. Is that the plastic guard flopping around, or does the shaft have a bit of a tweak to it? Long term that shaft vibrating could have been a contributing factor to the mounting area fracturing. Would be a bit rough on the U-joints, too.
It doesn’t matter which one of your kids you work with, you truly look like you enjoy it. It has to be a great feeling seeing how much they have learned about the family business. Congrats Andy.
Andy is so layed back and easy going with his children. So glad to see him doing this.
@ghammond3132absolutely the truth!!! They respect Andy
Andy and Sarah make a great team when they are working together. Great video. You guys, well done, Sarah & Andy.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sarah just makes me smile so her other two sisters so cute these three are
Great job helping your Dad Sarah

Andy, you and your wife have raised some amazing and talented youngsters. You can be proud.
Andy you are so fortunate to have children that help you.
Good job Andy and Sarah. Always enjoy your shop projects.
Doing a great job Sarah awesome to see your dad has trained you so well to do all kinds of jobs. Well done
Another great video Andy! Sarah is learning from the best! Always great to see the kids working with you.
Should have used CAD ( Cardboard Assisted Drawing)
Great to see your kids working with you Andy.
Andy she's a farm girl, meaning she is very strong. Can't beat farmer strong , she's a farmer.😊❤
She's very smart. Going to be her farm someday.
Looks like it's been done by a professional. Awesome job Andy. Sarah not afraid of getting dirty. Love your shop videos. Keep the action and knowledge coming. You all stay safe!!
Very lucky to be working along side one’s father/daughter
It's just great seeing kids being raised the correct way, out of all the projects you do that's the most important, and the main reason you do all those other projects.👍👍

Better than new Andy and having some help from Darwin on the heard is a good idea. Cheers and thank you!!!!
Hello Andy Sarah enjoyed your video. I had to repair our John Deere mx6. The gear box broke away also reinforced with 1/2 plate. Have a great day.
Always love watching the Girls work with you they can do most any Task you have to do GREAT JOB !!!
Put a new PTO shaft on our baler last year. The first thing I did was remove the government plastic parts. Only to make it easier to grease.
Can't grease it while its running can you.😊
Your thin the herd comment was great! Keep the videos coming Andy!
Thank you for the PSA @25:25 "We need the thin the herd folks!"
Thanks for sharing Andy, "good stuff"😊....at least you got your #1 welder on it😊
Nice repair job ! Keep “thinning the Herd”!!😂
Nice job Andy I love working with my daughter as I’m sure you do good stuff
Thanks for another great family video ❤
Great job welding Sarah
All I could think about when you were talking about that guard was some people do like spinning shinny things. Caught a fish like that one time.
Might want to check the bearings in the bush hog's left wing wheel. It was wobbling 3 plus inches out of plumb. A pretty nasty wobble.
I’m always impressed by what you guys accomplish! I wish I had even a fraction of the skill!
Another perfect weld job by Sarah that repair will last longer than the bushhog
Yes you are correct Andy all warning labels should be removed and let stupidity fix itself?🤷♂️😂🤣hell yeah
Good job Andy an Sarah 👍🚜
I 100% agree with you, "THIN THE HERD" !!!!!!!!
Those mower decks are always too thin to last. I thought about building a mower to withstand a rock with a 1/4" plate deck with a 3/4" plate for the gear box. The 3/8" braces above the deck would need to allow water to run off. The only I haven't figured out is if the hydraulic can lift the extra weight. Looks like a few trailing wheels are need of work as well.
Yes, that one on left did not look so good!
On the crop chopper, looking from the rear, the left wheel has a super wobble and on the right dual the outer wheel has a small wobble. You could have put some edge on the blades, saves fuel and/or gains speed.
Good job Sara 👍
Great video Andy and Sarah
Good job on the brush hog, Andy and Sarah
That rear left wheel has a bit of wobble to it. Lol. Keep up the good work.
if you don't have guard on pto axles in Denmark and the Labor Inspection Authority comes to check. then it costs $1500 in fines for each axle that lacks guards
Go SARAH!!!! You folks do amazing work.
Very good thing that you are teaching all of children how to do things. Sarah is very smart.
Looks like some repair jobs alwsys seen to need some extra
Work ..
Hope Sarah welding holds up 😂👍👍👍
Looks like its working ok .
Sarah wins the 'Ms. Enthusiastic' award again!! 🤣🤣
Merry Christmas!! 🎅🎄
STRESSED out but feeling better now!
Awesome drone footage
Chuck says you only payed 200 for that mag drill-mine is a Fein and I payed just under a grand! Sarah should try some dualshield corewire-it has a tick more ductility than shortarc,runs hot but wets in nice-good for anything over 3/8 thick
Another good one Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄🌽🚜🇺🇲👍
Andy did u check the other side of the bush hog for cracks or damage ?
The fixing and fabricating videos are the most interesting to me. Is there anything you all can’t fix or fabricate?
Those mower shields would probably help contain a loose driveshaft if a joint let go. A shaft flying around loose at speed could do some serious damage
I'd deff like to see that other drill soon and see the test u put it through as I am in the market for a drill like that
Kimball Midwest makes pretty decent rattle can paint. It isn't all that cheap but worth it in my opinion.
I think she was glad Jerad helped you lift the stump jumper back on!
Your family has a real fab and weld shop going on there. Very good work and good video. Have a good evening everyone.
Tks for sharing Andy and Sarah. You two do Awesome work together. Your remote drill seems nice. Does it run on 110? Would it work out on a job site? If there is a generator you use? Or does it draw some heavy ampage?
Yes it works off of 110 draws about 12 amps
Andy, Great Job!! What shape is the other side? Love to see Sarah welding!!
OL HOSSS HAD 2 LAYERDOWN IN THE CORN CLIBBINS. GOBLESS
Great video. With the shape of your corn head and the mower I'm wondering if a 6 or 8 row chopping corn head should be considered. Or maybe look into devastators.
Andy, if that 1/2" plate is cracking out like that, you might think about installing a 1" plate. You'll only need to add longer bolts. It won't change anything with the gear box or the stump jumper.
Yes, need to thin the herd of stupid people. Great video as always, cheers :)
You had some pretty help !
A little dirt in the paint is true grit !! Nonslip plating
Thanks.
Great job Andy
thinnin the herd...lol....followed by the Homer Simpson burp....classic
Farm girls rock
Andy do you ever bail corn stocks for cow roughage or beding.
Like to see the chain as a double safety to prevent wings from potentially falling down
YOUR THE MAN ANDY I PLAN ON STOPING BY SOON
Great repair job team
I’m always amazed how expensive this equipment is and how poorly it’s made
Yep, it's pretty sad..
It's made to be replaced often ..............shouldn't be , but it is ..........
Poorly it's made? That thing's been around a while and is still quite serviceable. It's covered thousands of acres under the worst of conditions, rocks, roadside garbage, and all manner of crap. I submit its pretty well made. If it was junk, it wouldn't be there.
Thin the herd.. Best quote ever!!!
Sell bushhog to good ole Dutty from Dutty2029. It's Duffy's long lost Pirate cousin
😂😂😂
Is the fork lift sounding a little bit tired ?? In the field pictures, does one of the hog wheels have a bit of a wobble ??
"Maybe you are the problem" hahaha I couldn't agree more
Left rear mower tire wobbles!
Nothing wrong with that, teach a skill done by hand and AI will never take it away , did that with our daughter , now living in Portugal working for a virtual company out of Massachusetts and can change the tire for her husband . You are doing good providing the tools for your children success, endorse support for their success even if it means to explore a foreign adventure as a dad it's hard.
Sarah is a role model for her generation. For Boys and Girls!!
Was wondering why John Deere and other companies put safety shields on equipment if they are not needed. Safety First is a mindset not a requirement. That why they call them accidents!
Idiots only
Because the government makes them put them on. You have to be mighty stupid to get within ten feet of that thing when it's running, let alone on top of it.
Good for another 20 years.
I just noticed at the end of the video the left wheel on the brush hogg looks like it is wabbling a little.
My nephew lost his leg in a PTO shaft on a bale elevator with the guard in place. His boot lace got caught and it went fast!
Good job Sarah. Boy gt that runs quiet I could hear it at all.
Sarah's wielding is more accurate than your cutting out Andy.
Hi Andy !
this is a lot a crack , good job !
Goid job Sarah!
Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day ! 🙋♂️
Most of the time it is the women that dose most of the talking, not when dad is around. Great video when you are working with the kids.
My high school son would like more videos
If the one side was in that condition, it's almost a guarantee that the other side is also. I would have taken it apart for an inspection... but now you know how to repair it when you need to do the other one!
The other side is fine
Sarah does great work
"Thin the herd" preach it Andy lol
Was the other side cracked too? John Deere lawnmower decks do the same thing.
how wide is the cut on that monster
Looks like 20'.
Good teaching moment let your daughter drill the small holes.
Andy, Disappointed that you didn't throw that plate away and start over. We do things right because we do them twice…
*Lipstick on a hog, funny.
Ah Boss, the back left wheel is gonna fall off.
35:50 It looks like you're about to lose the left outside wheel on the hog
Yup.....Left wheel looks like it's off the Fred Flintstone model. Right wing drive shaft has a bit of a shake to it too. Is that the plastic guard flopping around, or does the shaft have a bit of a tweak to it? Long term that shaft vibrating could have been a contributing factor to the mounting area fracturing. Would be a bit rough on the U-joints, too.
No thats from andrew crankin his hog too hard and the clibbins
It looks like the bearings might be out of the one tire.
