Injecting Manure with an injector from Ortel Supply

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Oh the memories of those sunless dreary days in Western NY....sure don't miss them! Great video and I'm very impressed with your drone flying ability!! Thanks for all you do!! Jim.

[@paulpeters5199]

That exhaust sounds sweet

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Thanks for another great video Andy, Stay safe with all this crap going on, I hope it hasn't affected your operation too much.

[@deernutOO]

Shows the value of a drone when able to look closely at the injectors at work. For a moment there I thought the smell was coming through my player, but then figured it was just some latent memory cells in the brain.. LOL tks for the video.. again. Hard to wait for the next one.

[@billsexton4811]

Andy , that manure injector works really well . It just amazes me the money your farm has tied up just to get rid of the manure , and now some farms are dumping the milk because the processing plants don’t want it . Something has got to give !

[@randy6650]

Enjoyed watching the video Andy 😊

[@dickhansen8594]

Such good explanation of reasons of why and how it gets done. And it gets done. Thank you for sharing your experience. The information gives so many other farmers half a chance to get it right.

[@mzr800]

Boy Andy the sound from about the 24:00 minute mark to the end is just so bad ass!!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks glad you like it

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Absolutely love the Exhaust sound. Straight out power on display. Gotta love that big Deere resonance.

[@dusttodeals1324]

I've been watching your videos for less than a year and kinda knew that farming was a hard job. I never realized that farming was hard, complicated, tiring, long hours, expensive, and underappreciated. Thank you!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thank you for watching

[@ginggur17]

That Deere sounds lovely.

[@WesternNYfarmboy]

That 2 to 3 hours drive had to be fun. I live 30 minutes northwest of Ortel's. Fun fact about Dennis, he use to sell nuts and bolts before manure equipment and the only reason I know that is because my Grandpa was one of his many customers. That place is a great place. Glad to hear you guys are doing business with Ortel's.

[@WesternNYfarmboy]

Also Andy, I worked on a dairy farm that used those Dietrich injectors. They are by far one of the best injectors out there.

[@tomfaessler6072]

You want to explain the value manure has in dollars and why you spend lot of money putting it on the fields.

[@WesternNYfarmboy]

@@tomfaessler6072, Manure adds a lot more nutrition to the fields then any other fertilizer out there does. If you don't put some kind of manure down (cow, chicken or beef), you are losing the nitrogen and potash from the manure that the crops take. Manure also adds organic matter to the field (like what leaves do when you chop them up really fine). So if you wanted to do that, it would cost thousands of dollars just to get the field to a good state to grow decent crops.

[@forcellefarms9788]

Awesome tractors and manure spreader‘s keep up the good work

[@joelee662]

Andy I noticed Andrew came out I bet he was keeping an eye on you nice job Andy explaining that equipment. I like the way the drone was up in the air nice view until the end when it was in the tractor you must had knocked it over with a can of soda LOL 😄 good job thank you for sharing the video 👍🇺🇸

[@rickg3387]

Great video! That 30 minutes went quick. I helped a farmer knife in manure in the late 70s. He had a Same Buffalo tractor and a tandem axle Badger tanker with 3 injectors on the back. I don’t remember exactly how but every now and then an injector would plug and would have to take the hose off to unplug it. He would haul 24/7 in the spring and fall as to get as much out of the pit as he could. I always ran the night shift and l enjoyed it.

[@rogerholloway8498]

Awesome drone footage Andy, I enjoyed seeing this operate as well!

[@buddhaboy10]

Great video. Filming technique is top shelf. Keep em coming. 👍

[@truckdriver8637]

Nice set up with new injector

[@oldsloane]

What an amazing amount of equipment it takes to run an operation of this size. I do't know how you even know how many tractors you have let alone all the specialized equipment that it takes.

[@peteschiavoni]

Thanks for taking the time to show us this and explain what is going on. Loving your videos Andy. Thank you!!!

[@garlandhenry6792]

It seems everything you do Andy you do first class. Great job

[@teddydunford2920]

Great video sir , the new piece of equipment works good . It want be long before it's planting corn time so good luck .

Hey Andy another great video. i was watching another farmer on youtube and i realized you we're related...lol what are the chances. The hourigans must own NY State lol.... Great footage and loved the drone shots.

Great video. That manure injector is pretty cool I’ve never gotten to see one up close before,We never really got into the liquid manure. I hope that thing serves you guys well

[@mikebonge7206]

looks very nice addition to the fleet,,, as always

[@davidbroad4834]

Thank you for the show on the spreader.

[@bobbysears6626]

Nice setup Andy! You need to put a camera on the back so that the operator can see what’s going on. Thanks for sharing!

[@bobbysears6626]

Also my neighbors have their pits hooked up to several pivots around there farm.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

There is a camera on the back

[@winsurfer123]

Andy, you must be so proud of Jared. The tractor sounds great. He'd make any father fell proud. You can tell he doesn't suffer fools, much like his old man. I've been reading some dairies are dumping their milk because they lack a market with all the closures. Are you seeing that in NY state? Here's praying we all get through this safe.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We've seen some

[@danfinley3690]

Sweet video Andy

[@leighriley6277]

Brilliant piece of gear, outstanding footage, excellent video 👍👍

[@matthewvaldez6387]

Another 👍 from me, at least with the injector you don't have to worry too much about run off. Bet it's difficult to keep the equipment clean though. The welder slapped that elbow together like a boss, good to have allies like that around 👍👍 Great video bud 👍🍻

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@anthonybanda8192]

We have to inject hog manure here in michigan. People complain about the smell. You can smell the manure for miles . That system of yours works great. You guys have to keep good manure equipment due to the amount of cows you have. Your family has great equipment and employees which makes life easier on a large farm. That injector should be fine it looks lightweight but tough.

[@MFKR696]

It still amazes me that people complain about manure. Just roll your window up and stfu. It's not like it's required for the basis of our agricultural practices or anything, eh? lol Without that smell of shit, the majority of crops would either be completely under-developed or fail entirely. It seems to me that people just love complaining about stuff that they don't have a clue about, just like those Geezers who protest against building Wind-Farms because they're "ugly." I dunno about you, but a coal-burning Power-Plant or a Nuclear Plant looks a hell of alot uglier than a bunch of white poles with giant fans on them. There was a massive Wind-Farm project out in PEI Canada that got flat-out shut down because the pensioners all wrote in and complained that the Wind-Farm would "ruin their view". It's bloody pathetic. I mean, how much of a weak-tittie comfort-junkie does one have to be to make such stupid decisions like that, all based upon aesthetics. I do have to ask, though... Why pig shit? Does the fact that pigs will eat literally anything have anything to do with it? Is it more potent?

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Thanks for sharing the details of the new injector.

[@mikemiller2246]

Very nice video ! Good job

[@jean-francoislarhantec2410]

We have the same equipment in France or drop pipe. Because a lot of problems with people for the smell. Thanks for the video

[@jrbpa5775]

Looks like a nice piece of equipment but Lordy, looks like a slow process getting manure hauled. Thx for the video !!!

[@gregverhasselt8357]

Nice line up of articulates you got there.

Thanks

Do you tank all your manure, or hose some also?

[@popstheoutdoorsman467]

the new injector does a real nice job

[@bernierezny8156]

Andy that's a nice setup. In corn you must just run between rows

[@toddmillard2862]

[@timb7775]

That's some serious manure injection. This new one does look to be designed and built a lot better than that old one. I bet no one tailgates you driving down the roads.

[@MienTayTiVi]

great work

[@bryanwelsh7608]

Really like your channel and seeing how "Big Farmers" do it. I grew up on a small dairy farm in Northern VA so I can relate--you're just about 15 times bigger though! Do you think you could do a drone tour of your barn layout on both sides of the road? Show where heifers, dry, cows, milk cows, etc are located? You've been hours of entertainment during "the great isolation". Keep up the great content!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks, maybe over the weekend I'll throw the drone up

[@cotton123ful]

[@kevinpatznick8462]

We have the same injector bar on our tanks, to make points last longer we weld on them and drop tubes.

[@frankdeegan8974]

We would run a bead or two along the plow shares with hard welding rod that made them last quite a bit longer.

[@robhakeman5873]

We had a NUHN tank that size but was a Vac tank compared to a 1500 gallon before the Nuhn tank.

[@nch-wf3tu]

Awesome as always. Had a lazy day in the shop today and my son and I watched your vids. Great time killer! He wants to know how old Andrew is? He is 6 and mows with a 930r zero, and is jealous of Andrews big tractor skills!!!!

Andrew is 9

[@joeydalia2572]

Very cool video 👍🏼

[@anthonybanda8192]

We use the same setup on our hog manure except our tanker is a Nuhn . We do custom application of hog manure for other farmers. We raise 350 hogs and we have our manure tested for it nutrient levels so we can variable rate it on fields.

[@eddytobacco1]

Saw the construction equipment, you guys doing some more building?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes

[@garybridger6707]

Be interesting to see how those v points wear, how many acres could you get on the points on the other injectors?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

They would Las for a couple hundred acres

[@sea-saw2654]

Great vid some very nice drone shots .. might just be the camera angle but do the power lines across the road ever cause any issues they look quite low ..

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No they don't

[@jeramy2398]

For some reason I thought the 9410 was a bare back. Its also nice to see the ad money they take out of milk checks actually goes to advertising. Think that's first milk ad I've seen since the milk mustache campaign.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Is that right

[@jeramy2398]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating ya there was a milk commercial play in your video. I always wondered where the advertising they took out of milk checks went. I know some of my money DFA took went to advertising in China.

[@edwardharrop5819]

Very interesting video. How uniform is the amount of material delivered to each head, or doesn’t it mean that much? Will also be interesting to see how the tips hold up, it sounded like it was a bit stoney soil. Seems to be very efficient for poop application. Take care and stay healthy, America depends on our farmers more than they know. Thank you.

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

Hopefully this new one works out better. 30” center I’m guessing? And additions to all the barns, or just the one?

Yes 30", just the one barn

Little over 1700

Not to many farms in the USA with the amount of equipment u have all green 👌

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Was wondering what the analyse is on the manure and how many gallons or pounds to the acre, and do they have rate control, or are they stuck driving one speed???

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We can vary the speed depending on how much we want to put down

[@joepfeiler5911]

We have a spreader we vary the speed with the pto. to put on a low rate with hog manure, we use a 540 RPM pto and adjust the throttle and ground speed. for higher rates, we use 1000 RPM pto.

[@ollie-lk5dx]

@@joepfeiler5911 Thanks for info have no experience with liquid manure.

[@tomrichter244]

Have you ever done a background video on how many cows, how much waste, can u dispose of it on ur own fields etc? Also general background on your farm and how you divvy up work. You must be involved in field work and equip maintenance. Right

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah

[@duanecreativemachine]

A few years ago all I ever saw was injection but the last few years I haven't seen anyone using an injector. Around here most of the spreading and injection when they were doing that is done off the back of a tractor with lines to a diesel pump pulling out of the lagoon.

[@philipgrubb6971]

Looks like you got a good one now hopefully you won’t have to do so much run off control to keep the manure from going into water ways unintentionally

[@apex-td5th]

Nice rig.

[@teaches2010]

I can smell it all the way from Michigan.....

[@ginggur17]

That is one massive tanker.

[@frankdeegan8974]

Go back and see how much it takes to pull it out once it gets stuck or what happens when on a wintery slippery road and the rig plows into a tree on the side of the road.

[@markgladieux6838]

What's with all the tires

[@Erated78]

Good work fine tuning the new spreader Andy. I'm guessing it's a much more efficient way to fertilize than spraying is. Injecting seems to be very popular in Europe. Loved the drone footage as well. Awesome video all round. Thanks and all the best. Ed

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the comment Ed

[@imj5525]

Do you run the injector bar on float, or do you have to keep some hydraulic pressure on it to keep it in the ground? How did the healthy heard silage corn feed out that you bagged a couple falls ago? Wondering if you ended up comparing it to bmr, or if it just ended up as heifer feed. Excellent video as usual Andy!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Healthy herd didn't do as expected. We run constant pressure and there is a relief to to keep a constant about of pressure on it

[@robertquast9684]

What are your thoughts on the nuhn spreader vs the jamesway? We rented a nuhn 6750 with flow control last year and were very impressed with how it pulled and the job it did

How many acres can one of those tankers do before needing to refill the manure?

.5 acre

How many acres can you do per load with that injector?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

About an acre

[@svennilsson8459]

12:28 Is that land going to be cut as silage this 4th season? If so, any thoughts on the effect on the roots of those horizontal knives? I've mainly seen disc type openers in grass or maybe rather thin straight vertical knives. Broad-spreading/spread-plate is tricky in Sweden, you can "interpretate" the rules but also get a lot of shit for it. Approx what amount are you putting in?
