New Faces

[@nickrandol9133]

I am a GC in Wyoming, and have a small crew of carpenters and skilled laborers. I love the way you handle day-to-day problems, weather, breakdowns, etc. Your patience is commendable and you treat all of your employees, family or other, with respect and trust…. You are a great employer!

[@gavinperry7237]

The new service truck with crane certainly is coming in handy.

[@Rodmanvt]

And doesn't need any breaks

[@m9ovich785]

Thanks Andy. The Highway Dept in My County is proactive with Farmers to get the Roads cleaned up. several of the big Farms near Me have rotary Brooms on a Skid steer. Does a better job than a Bucket.. A bridle of string on the Front of the Hose probably would have helped to pull it trough. Through my 37 Year carrier in the Telco business I have pulled 1 1/2" to 3" Smurf Tube through tough places and with the string pulling dead center instead of off to the side works wonders.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. That service truck has been a really handy addition to the fleet.

[@richardradawetz8788]

Great job guys. That’s a really nice service truck. Cheers from Saskatchewan

[@deernutOO]

Save a lot of money having the repair equipment handy and the knowledge to figure things out quickly. Keeps downtime to a minimum. Service truck with boom coming in handy too.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Boy Andy.. that just makes you think. Doesn't it? The Nancy's and Sallies out there.. "just keep welding the blower house" what kind of junk they think there Farming with.. Bet there equipment is only worth a penny a pound.. I surely wouldn't give them more then that!! Here in Michigan. If you drove on the road and leaking manure... there would be 4 or 5 cop cars sitting in your yard..

[@williamhyney9640]

Andy, thought you were Mike Mitchell running around...Lol as always great job...

[@michaelwatson4822]

that service truck is a real game changer for you ,

[@steveb6103]

If you get a hold of Iowa Mold and Tool. They sell 45 gal. Oil tank that goes in the back of a service truck. You then use a drum pump to move the oil. I have 2 in the back of mine. 1 for hydraulic and 1 for motor oil.

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@MarkFox]

Thanks for the video Andy!

[@chuckwilliams9090]

Looks like that service truck boom is showing its value.

[@eliotkutemeier7311]

I bet ur glad u bought that service truck andy love the videos

[@kaldudas9651]

Andy to recuse great job that service truck is getting a workout the under loading of three trucks at a time is a great time saver 👍🚜

[@lawrenceashworth7668]

Looks like that new service truck is working out for you

[@davidplocher820]

That truck with its hoist lifting that part off the chopper is greatsight

[@robertmeyerholtz8504]

How nice it is to have a truck with a crane!!!!!

[@Oliver-kv2mm]

Don't forget to tell him about the wires sticking out of the hoses they can poke you too.

[@rolandminick]

Enjoy watching your videos

[@duggydo]

Looks like too much gravity in the spout pulled the side in tension right apart after a million acres of choppin.

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

Thanks Andy service truck is earning it keep 😊😊😊

[@scottkrieger4701]

Surprised Sarah isn't driving her tractor.

[@pbr549]

Andy, you are number one on saftey. I am not tired of you talking about hydaulic fluid pressure that can hurt someone. I would make it quicker and short, however I am the tail end of the baby boomers. I would use like you you morron don't F up bad pooh happens when get near rubber coated steel hose. Tomorrow I will run out of 1/2 and 1/2 cream. Keep the cows working. Great channel!

[@mfreund15448]

Getting hydraulic fluid under your skin could cause death, at the least will cause gangrene. Nothing to mess with.

[@franksilveria5464]

Took me too many years to figure out on Case and Steigers to replace the 12 foot hoses with 2 six foot hoses so you just replace 6 foot hose when you get a wore spot.

[@markreetz1001]

Thanks Andy! great vid!!

[@joshbutterfass5251]

It wears out over time and that gets very expensive when it comes time to replace the parts that are wearing out

[@aaronb4286]

Service truck is really useful

[@emilhuggarn3050]

Good evening from Sweden Andy

[@jarredholt5037]

With bedding with sand….you see an increase in your manure handling equipment being worn out?

[@Planeiron]

Great Vid 👍👍👍👍🚜🚜🌽🌽🐄🐄🍺🍺

[@NorthEastOhio]

I get accused of breaking stuff as well

[@jamesforman6587]

So clean

[@markbowling3475]

Hey Andy, what about the servo motor that rotates the blower arm ? Thanks for sharing 🇺🇲

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Not sure what you are asking about it

[@jim6390]

Welcome Damien

[@garthland]

did a double-take on the title, thought at first it said 'new feces', LOL

[@steveharrington301]

👍

[@JohnJufer]

Looks good Andy and Crew I just finished up hauling manure myself im getting ready to build a manure pit myself you are a great running system from southern Ohio what is the background noise on the 23 minute mark while you are making the New hydraulic hose

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Oil barrel pump

[@JohnJufer]

@FarmingFixingFabricating thank you for explaining that

[@chuckwilliams9090]

That was good advice you gave about the hydraulic pressure I’m assuming that it’s at least 3000 psi

[@shaunfeyereisen2183]

Is the satellite pit still have to be hauled out yet or is that empty too?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Empty to

[@shaunfeyereisen2183]

@ dang that’s very good for this time a year, does that mean you guys can get through a good number of shop projects this winter

[@williamgreenway9893]

Do it now while you got the chance ! Cause it might have torn more stuff.

[@jim6390]

Hydraulic oil poisoning my neighbour years ago grabbed a hydraulic hose leaking came very close to dying he was sick for 5 months

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Old loader tractors had hoses right to the control valves by your right shoulder . A woman near here probably 50 years ago was loading shit in box spreader a hose ruptured and a spray of oil went right through her heavy jacket and coveralls and shirt near her right shoulder. Sick for a year got better 17 or 18 years later she got a cancerous tumor right on that spot she died a year later.

[@MrThisIsMeToo]

Dear Andy, I have five degrees farming with a focus on dairy herds from KZbin University. Plus I have one of the largest spreads to date in Farm Simulator, which I focus on about 12 to 14 hours a day from mom's basement. So yes I feel I have more experience than yourself. I mention such as I offer my expertise and guidance, if you ever need it. Signed, Know Nothing Commenter

[@324atleD]

Did somebody demand Andy buy a new combine again?

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Nice shot, LOL

[@Old_Man_82]

Funny but sad at the same time as it is true sometimes.

[@pete9705]

Does the spout have an accumulator for the hydraulic line/cylinder? If it does, it's possible it might have lost its charge causing more stress on that housing.

[@mfreund15448]

It is wearing from the inside out. The hundreds of thousands of tons of silage have made the housing thin, causing cracks.

[@pete9705]

@@mfreund15448 I'm guessing there is a wear liner inside the housing, so the housing itself never wears.

[@michaelowen1750]

It's a shame you spent all that money on a service truck with a crane, and you have absolutely no use for it...

[@craigflatley7370]

🇨🇦👍

[@MrTonyharrell]

Is it possible that the heat from welding contributes to future cracks in the blower housing?

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

The housing would have to be thinner than new inside from abrasion so a good call to replace it . Cracking would have continued beside each weld and elsewhere ~

[@greg10469]

Too bad one couldn't cut the hose where it was slit and put a couple fittings on it and re attach it to itself without having to change the entire hose...gotta be portable hose fitting devices out there?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Today that wasn’t an option

[@timskiff9422]

How many ton of silage has been through that housing? Wow

[@CUMMINSKILLERTEAM2O24]

@timskiff9422 Um, like over a million tons!!!!! Especially when you have a lot of cattle to feed!!!!!

[@mfreund15448]

Good time to replace, keeps getting thinner from the inside.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Probably about a million tons. They'd cut around 130-140,000 tons a year based on feeding 2000 cows in lactation plus dry cows and young stock. I think that chopper has done about 7 or so seasons.

[@michaelolenick4078]

Thousands!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

There is a liner in the inside

[@kennethfriedrichsen7079]

Is it wrong to think that a major part like that shouldn’t crack?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

If the machine didn’t have as many hours on it it wouldn’t have cracked

[@sharonromer6606]

👍🙋‍♀️🚜💩

[@scottkrieger4701]

How do you like that crane so far?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Good

[@davidowen8632]

I think I would have traded it off

[@mfreund15448]

I am sure Andy would let you pay for a new chopper.

[@shawnbrown8888]

Another arm bandit!!! Has no idea about milking cows!!! By the way Andy love the looks of the new parlor!!!

[@greg10469]

At 1.5 million /heads included...Andy's doing the right thing by keeping er going, mucho cheaper.

[@tomyoung1532]

Would you say you haul manure 300 days a year.

[@jeffreykerr8034]

Need to make to make some pick points on your blower neck to pick off the machine easily Andy

[@edwhite6250]

👍
