Time For a Change

[@BNU30C]

Not many farmers left that wrench as hard as you do Andy. You’re an inspiration.

[@paddymickiemickie8221]

Paddy here from Western Australia enjoy watching your videos,don’t worry if you miss a bit , your doing a good job thanks 🇦🇺🇮🇪☘️🍀

[@flanacre]

Vau perfect job ! Nice video. Greetings from Slovakia and I subscribe to your videos ,

[@FarmGearInnovators]

🚜 Love seeing the behind-the-scenes of the chopper setup! That new kernel processor looks like a beast. Can't wait to see it in action! 💪🌽

[@280813jb]

Andy, like that KP with the bearing temperature monitor. So many problems are caused by bearing failures because of lack of lubrication especially the sealed bearing. Thanks for video.

[@jimmyb3028]

That crane is like two extra helpers!!👍🇺🇸

[@kevingordon7426]

Huge savings. What an incredible investment.

[@gavinperry7237]

The winch system to lift the corn processor really comes in handy .

[@mitsnevets]

glad you got the crane up n running on the service truck sure is handy

[@jackthewisedog5171]

that crane is coming in useful

[@patrickerger7271]

Like the crane on the new service truck. 😊

[@martinboilard2265]

Hi Andy ! Good job on the cutting bar , it look so easy whit the crane . Good for you ! whit 5 silage trailer when the corn field get muddy do you have plan for double dump wagon on one frame being pull by a big articulate tractor in the field for speeding up the operation . 2 dump in 1 shot it is a big big double dump wagon . Thanks Andy for your time and congratulation for where you at right now ! Have a good day at the farm ! 🙋‍♂️

[@tolipydob]

Thanks again Andy. It is always nice to see someone throwing the same subtle 'magical helper sounds'. That spout on the way down tried to modify your rear '$treamlined body panel'.(swing and a miss!) ;-)

[@carlmeissneriv5337]

That crane definitely will save a lot of work and time.I can see where a weight adjustable spreader bar could help balance an awkward load for you and make the job a little easier.

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Dam Andy, my heart is in my throat every time I watch you put that KP in or take it out. It's one heavy "mongrel" and if that cable breaks...yikes!! Love the videos and thanks for doing them. Jim.

[@jamesbyrne5734]

Was thinking the same thing and wondering would the crane on the service truck be easier. 🤗

[@desertdweller4951]

That new service truck has sure made a game changer on your labor savings. Thanks for sharing Andy.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Thank you for sharing. Please.. be safe. There so many thing that could happen working alone. Especially on the Farm. I know your a fulll grown man but never the less. The big Heavy things don't care what or who they will fall on. I do enjoy your videos tho.. I understand that your very aware of what your doing.. its like silo work.. Never do it alone unless you have a spotter with you..

[@mikeethan5167]

Whenever I come across farming, it takes me down memory lane. Losing my farm to the hurricane Florence on September 2018 here in North Carolina dealth a huge jab. But with an influx of $145k monthly made my family happy one more time

[@Tahir4life786]

God bless you more abundantly for your generosity

[@Tahir4life786]

But then, what do you do? How do you come about that in that period?

[@mikeethan5167]

It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. Thank you Jesus

[@mikeethan5167]

Thanks to Mrs Kathleen Mary Vella

[@mikeethan5167]

She's a licensed broker here in the states

[@smoore960]

Put a tagline on the end of your pipe. Keep it under control. Good service truck.

[@dcw1540]

That looks like more of a job than most guys could do.😊

[@rogerquenault7207]

Great video as always, that crane will sure save a lot of heavy lifting, if you use 2 slings in choke it will stop all the swinging around and bumping things into your equipment.

[@donniehodge2548]

Another good job Andy 👏

[@John-ni5sq]

Andy, It's a Small World, my wife and I were picking up dinner in Petaluma Northern California when a gentleman struck up a conversation with us he was from Syracuse New York. I said hey I watch a dairyman on KZbin from around Syracuse told him we sold our Dairy out in 2001 and he said he used to pick up milk. Come to find out he was one of the few Independent Milk haulers in New York not only does he know you he used to pick up your milk. Anyway, I just thought that was cool love your videos watch every one of them.

[@BernardBouchard-qq9kq]

Colonel Processor.I think he was our Battalion Commander in Nam.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Thanks for sharing 👍👍🍻💪💪🗽

[@grenk315]

Hi Andy Been wanting to ask how many hours you good with on chopper before you upgrade?

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Not likely, unless current dealership really screws up. Keep customer's running, and they keep the dealership running.

[@BGFKevin]

Reason I like my 3875 pull type harvester, processor is already on. Just put belts on and install one plate and go. 😉

[@jerrymurphy6673]

Thank u for videos

[@timjorden8329]

I hope new choppers have an upgraded rubber floor in that area. That stuff looks hard on the knees

[@markbowling3475]

Hey Andy, will you check with your nutritionist to see if everything is where he wants it or should the be no difference after changing your set up slightly, tks y'all be safe out there in the field 🚜 I bet your new crane is going to come in handy for alot of things !

[@iwan8014]

We had a shearbar go through the chopper causing alot of damage, the 5 bolts will be better and we glue them on with loctite against vibrations making them crack on the both outer edges

[@budfisher6916]

Yeah that is a good question about the e bike. Thinking about one for the wife this year.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

My wife is thinking about one for me. I have a 12 mile commute, but I really think she wants me to leave my truck and the tools in it at home! 😂😂😂

[@kevingordon7426]

Try using 2 straps, 2 points, and a crevice. Possibly more stability. Seems like tow truck guys use a lot of crevices.

[@peteulibarri2175]

Have a great day and weekend too

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@SLCFarms]

Dang cliffhanger ending.

[@teespoon1750]

Hey Andy, chopper's ready to go!! How did you ever get along without that service truck/crane?? So handy!! On to corn!! 😊😊

[@Adam_Poirier]

Awesome video Andy perfect length. First cold refreshments stopping on the way home when you get done chopping for the night this fall is on me. Not watching you use the little wood chipper this year threw me off, that's a yearly tradition for your videos. Just admit it.... snapped off the crankshaft with the impact gun didn't you? Im just kiddin, take it easy

[@davidsmith2404]

I seen that center bolt break or come loose a lot, have your dealer order pip kit mpz200196 it’s a 5 bolt shear bar update kit, keeps the shear bar more solid and get a better cut quality

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Watch the video

[@KenHowe-g5b]

EXCELLENT!!

[@BGFKevin]

Take your wife’s air fryer from the kitchen and use that. Set it at 250° for 20-25 min and done. That’s what I use for drying forage, works mint. Just buy her a new one cause she won’t want to use it after haha

[@onceafarmer7355]

That kernel processor is a mongrel to get in and situated..

[@artieshuster8013]

Nice video Andy good luck on chopping season

[@RallyRobert976]

Your new pick up truck works out well with the Crain.

[@davecramer9725]

Not a pick up truck it is a service truck you must not be to smart

[@RallyRobert976]

@@davecramer9725 No need for a reply like that wise guy.

That service truck just save you from pulling people from other jobs to help putting the Spout on in long run it will save you a lot of man an woman hours great video 👍🚜

[@johnleden1909]

Ok Andy - Christmas is coming - I'm looking for a couple of e-bikes. 60+ years old, looking for comfort, fun and a little cargo. Which is your favorite e-bike?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

The cyrusher ranger I ride everyday and really like it. The Puckipuppy that Alex has is very similar and The Himiway Cobra pro is flat out awesome however it’s expensive.

[@greg10469]

Dang it! I watched this whole video just to see the moisture content numbers...WtF Chuck!

[@possleaholsteinspossbrofar8429]

You'd want to make sure the cable on the winch is good. Lots of weight and money hanging on it.

[@maximush9811]

Are those the original tires on the cutter?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah

[@KenHowe-g5b]

I get it.. So many times it’s a one man job.

[@chuckychuck]

👍👍👍👍

[@JS-ty7yh]

Are you not worried working by Your selk (Safety) injury?

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Looks like Andy has new crain toy😂

[@BigTader]

Andy do you have any plans for replacing the chopper in the next couple of years? The new 9800 & 9900 Forage Harvesters are very impressive. Stay safe 🍻

[@mfreund15448]

Have you seen the price of milk, corn and beans compared to diesel, parts and labor???

[@timmieclark9976]

How much does that kernal processer weigh?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

800 lbs. Maybe

[@steveharrington301]

👍

[@red_power79]

My guess for moisture is 72%

[@donwise8000]

When will corn start?

[@craigrasnic4178]

Howdy sir are you guys getting all this rain and wind

[@davidholder3207]

Your an active man Andy and I'm wondering whether you feel any stronger from using the bike?

[@350mack]

62%

[@michaelolenick4078]

Hope this foes not hurt you but the east coast dock workers are striking the first of Oct.2 I think. They want a 70% pay raise if y ou can believe that. For every week the dock wo t kers are on strike will cost our economy 5 Billion dollars a week.

[@timstone6690]

Have you thought about leasing

[@Chuck-Guyitt]

Its probably on the other processor, the map I’m referring to.

[@timstone6690]

Have you ever thought about leasing

[@ronaldpiper4812]

Someone said other company brand he dislike. Jd had the best. Sure think they could have it better

[@rayz5508]

Do you find yourself keeping older equipment moving rather than buying new! Of course the new equipment is almost impossible to work on yourself without the diagnostic software and modules that need their own firmware that you can't get yourself . Keep the old iron rolling.🚜🌽🚜🌽🐄

[@timwasserman1063]

Andy Sure wish you would wear knee pads: You make my knees hurt 26:15

[@rons4778]

Can you slow the crane hydraulics down

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

JD hires cheap engineering, but expensive lawyers, trying to prove that they have a better design. Aftermarket processor will likely not disappoint you, but JD may be filing a lawsuit against the company that makes the processor. What happened to agreeing that someone made something better? 👍👍 Andy!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

You have no idea what you are talking about

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating I do have a little experience. I know that JD is quick to sue, and I think John Kinzenbaw will agree. I know that JD also doesn't design stuff to give the maximum use of the components, but settled for average because it seems most of the engineering dept doesn't know which end of a machine the crop comes out of. Or how to place a filter to give enough clearance to change it. JD has a reputation for going after the aftermarket makers, instead of learning from them. And I am a JD owner, and so is the equipment at my job.

[@andrewbuzzell3542]

​@@MorganOtt-ne1qjLol no you actually don't. You prob own a lawnmower lol. Deere builds a quality product. As with any manufacturer their engineers are dumb sometimes but you'll see that with NH case agco any of them. And they all have good lawyers and are sue happy.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@andrewbuzzell3542 Maybe you assume a bit much. I have several JD tractors, from an A to a 7800. I work for a farm that has 2 "6R"s, both with IVT transmissions, as well almost everything else being JD. I turn the wrenches as well as the steering wheels on them. I'm also aware of how many times JD has sued Kinze (and lost) over retrofitting components and such. I see things like filters and maintenance items being put in places that are difficult to actually service and maintain.
