    Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
    It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
    We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

    Loved your "boom tillage" comment, never thought of that when we put the boom tipsin the dirt!

      It is funny but I am not sure that my boom enjoys it... haha

    Bring that conveyer by the shop some rainy day, and a 4 foot piece 1 1/4" pipe. We can help your back for no cost.😊

    The dog looks more like an Irish Setter to me. But if it retrieves antler sheds, it’s definitely a good dog.

    • @aTrippyFarmer

      I think its a golden, but who knows. He is a really good dog. I find it hard to believe that someone dumped him.

    It kinda makes sense, that those brackets are cracking due to the shearing forces while you turn with the machine still in the ground. Because the pointy tips that does all the work, isn't really meant to be side loaded through the soil. Side load, well, you're trying to drag the tip sideways through the soil, which is a whole lot of work and that'll bend that springy thingy, which bends on the finicky bracket like a breaker bar, meaning applying torque.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That does make sense. That and the added horsepower together probably amplify the problem!

  • @stakman78
    @stakman78 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Holy shit Andy. You can buy a receiver hitch for your pickup that has a winch in it. You detach your receiver off pick up which is attached to a winch and hook it to implement then push the button! Pulls it straight into your hitch.
    Watch Tom's Brook Farm..
    He has them on all his utes in Australia.

    • @aTrippyFarmer

      That sounds like another expensive option!

    Unplug the ISO connector and go back to running single point depth control. The fold sequence gets its power from the 7 pin.
    We run our 2430 with TruSet that way.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Awesome info. I wasn't sure about the electronics of the fold. I will keep that in mind moving forward.

    Champaign bar names for the dogs. Love it. Maybe call the new dog Kam.

    Andy, just asking/curious. You seem like a big cordless tools guy. Ever try taking an sds/sds plus hammer/hammer drill and a long chisel point to bust up the rock in a rolling basket. Never tried it but I wonder if it would be less backbreaking and basket bending. Just food for thought.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's never even crossed my mind... a sledge hammer is cheaper!

    If John Deere made those self propelled belts you would have two of them at 100,000 apiece!

    Foreshadowing maybe on rain? I live about 200M east of you and we got 3 inches of rain this past week! Planting season is delayed....

      More than 1 rain... haha

    Sounds like it's a bit too risky on that tender tank set up.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      No just have to keep the valves closed. It's not an issue if you are aware of the reason!

    Comes to the point on getting things field ready, just have to stop looking because every time you give it “one last check” you see something else broken or almost broke

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It can't be broken if you never check!

    Put a check valve in each line from the tanks

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's not a bad idea. I do like that they can sort of drain in reverse if I open the valves for cleanout.

    Wouldn't be great to have a shed that was all doors. Not at all practical, or cheap, but it would sure make life easier.

  • @jetegtmeier71
    @jetegtmeier71 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    dose Haggie make a remote for maintenance like that, when you find a plugged nozzle, shut off the pump/section, clean/replace the nozzle, and turn the pump/section back on??? looks like a pain in the butt if you have an issue at the end of the boom where a remote should certainly pay for itself

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I know that machines with exactapply have a remote. I am not sure about this standard pump system.

    You literally run the most expensive per part tractor on the market and brag about it most days. Then bitch about the expensive parts when you get to the dealership. They are literally made to break anymore. Its not the same green ur grandad ran.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am sorry if you are mistaking my words, but I generally refrain from bragging. I poke fun at other equipment brands just for sport.
