Corn time comes round again. Brilliant stuff👍

Those straight pipes sound awesome!

Another quality production mate. 🇳🇿🇺🇸

Totally amazing. That's a lot of stuff to cut grind and crush and then sling wow

Andy it looks like you wash and waxed them trailers 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I really don't know how someone would think you would have time to wash and wax all your equipment . You are up by 4 feeding the cows then your in the shop fixing thing that breaks your a very busy guy thank you for the videos you put out

To bad that spout couldn’t fold up so you could use it in the short position and unfold it to be longer save you guys some work hope you guys get through this fall without any problems Andy have a safe harvest thanks for sharing

Thanks for. Sharing. Always like the smell of fresh chopped corn. Right up there with the smell of chopped hay. Hope corn running as good as your hay has? Can't wait to see the shelling videos next.

The superior material for O-Ring composition is Viton! If you are not using them made from that material, it would behove you to find a supplier from which you obtain your O-Rings to use across the board for all usage. When you get O-Rings from Deere, they very well may be Viton, but common O-rings found in general assortment boxes are very likely not Viton. Keep up the good work! JIM 🤩

Nothing wrong with your aim Andy, No Cars were showered in the making of this Video 😂 Could just about hear the W9 singing through those straight pipes 👌kit all looks good from this side of the pond.

That is fascinating! I did not realize different Processors for Haylage and corn silage

It is pretty cool that the chopper has it's own winch for changing out that head. It would be a real pain trying to install that with a forklift or cherry picker.

Thanks Andy

Have a safe harvest god bless our farmers

Thanks

I can never get enough of these chopping videos. I am constantly amazed at how much of a BEAST that chopper is. Growing up on a dairy farm in the 60's and chopping with a one row New Holland really makes me realize how far we have come.

Ya ought to make a Impact attachment for that crank handle!

I don't know Andy....I think taking the chopper thru a pumpkin patch would be a cool video☺️.

id stuck a good old fashioned stick shifter in that Pete , less electronics equals more better !

That's one of the biggest Problems with the P B & KW Ultrashift Transmission's is the wiring Harnesses We has both the 13 speed and 18 speeds 2016 2017 and 2018 lucky all of ours were still under warranty ! Good to see your starting chop some corn . At least you had rain out your way tho . a lot of corn & hay out here in the albany area didn't get a lot of rain . So both the hay & corn crop did not do real well . In some places very poor 2 nd cutting of hay .

Hey Andy if you hit the telephone line you might get better reception on your cell phone you should try it theoretically

All way good video 😊

Get used to replacing wire harnesses in the newer peterbilt/kenworths, it is very common now.

Thanks Hourigan Dairy!

Hi Andy, great video as always. Have you considered switching out trucks on the outside rounds by having them drive side by side when the first one is full? Then you can swing the spout over to the empty truck and keep the chopper going. We started doing that and it saves time.

It's not that simple with equipment these days. There are check valves, solenoids, proportioning valves, integrated into these circuits now. In most cases pulling a vacuum on the hydraulic tank and then taking something apart you wouldn't even feel the vacuum because of all the other components in the circuit.
