Nice hay head . I hope it serves you as well as the first one did. Thanks for the video Andy.

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 ;)

Thanks for the ride along. I highly recommend the Milwaukee tire inflator. I carry one in the pickup.

Your new chopper head seems to be working well. It would be nice if everything works perfectly being new.

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.

Tks for sharing Andy and Hourigan family farms..

Hey Andy & Family!!! Like you're bodies with the extended head board!!! Gives you that extra protection and a little more room. Good job 👍

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. :)

Hi Andy ! nice hay head ! Good job everybody ! Thanks Andy for your time and have a good day at the farm ! 💖🙋‍♂️

Another good video Andy KEEP THEM COMING 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 🌽 👍

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

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!

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing with all of us 😊

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 👍🚜

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.

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.🙈🙈🙈🙈😀👍👍👍

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 💰

Andy,the Millwalke battery powers air compressor works great.Have one it's great. Thanks for the videos.

Seven trucks that's a day's work already 😂

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

I love when you guys put the flotation tires on 👍🏻

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

Andy I believe May Wes has them plastic filler plates.

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.

Hopefully dealership gets you a new tire for chopper under warranty since leak was in sidewall

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.

Alex graduated to tractor and trailer good good job

Andy maybe you could show all the flotation and other tread types when the trucks are stopped?

Awesome video thanks Andy nice job 🚜👍🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛🚛

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!!!

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.

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

I would help the dealer put some hours on the new chopper they need to demonstrate.

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.
