In 1972, we thought that we had productivity with a 5200 and 2 row - wow !!
UNBELIEVABLE; 965 Hp on the 9900. Wow and we used to think our 4520 cranked up to 185 was a lot on our John Deere model 38. Chopper lot's of things have changed since 1974. Thanks for the video.
Once again some of the best farming video on TH-cam I love it when you guys are chopping your corn
The engine in the 9900 sounds like a locomotive when you open it up. Very impressive machine.
I like that tab you're running all day yesterday and today
Thanks for the great video. Both machines are monsters compared to the two row chopper on the farm I worked on in the early sixties. Keep up the good work and stay safe!
It's amazing how much material goes in that machine and it chews it up like that wow they have come a long way from the old pull type cutter lol great video god bless 2020Trump
Always a great video! Thanks Andy!
Machine sounds AWESOME!!!
Nice machine. More productivity costs money. Thanks for a very fair dairy farmers walk around.
For as long as he has been doing the job, he knows exactly what he is doing
That machine is an animal. Loved the drone shots
we picked up a used 7350 this year and it came with two processors, 1 regular and the other is a sheer processor. that was the first time we ve seen a sheer processor and don't know what's better but we put the roller processor in this year to do corn. thought maybe the sheer processor was for really dry corn. I think Andrew would do a wonderful job operating the 9900 and Andrew may let you keep the 8600 so you could still chop.
Andy that thing is a beast!! if you parked it in the shed for the winter every time you walked by it you would still hear a low monster GROWEL Like in the movie TWISTER YOW.
That's a beautiful chopper. Nothing wrong with yours.
What a machine. Makes quick work of a field.
Great walk around
Wow! Leather seats, dual exhaust, V-12, twelve row head....I wouldn't let it leave the property!
Hey Andy comparison of the 2 choppers that chopper had to a blast to try out! Keep up the good work.
It’s hard to imagine how much material that machine can cut.
Kind of repeating other comments but it is amazing the power you need to put that much material through that machine AND blow it into a wagon or especially over a highway tractor into a trailer.
Imagine the v12 on straight pipes, she’d probably sing as good as the 4620 Baling, good video thank for the content, 🇺🇸
That ol 3970 has come a long ways
Two mighty harvesters
Nice machine Andy, you may get the cheque book out 🤔😉👍
9900 is a beast!!! My late father use to run two 8700s...they usually upgrade after each Silage season...I’m sure they’ll upgrade to the 9900
That is a monster! Cool video again 😎
You ,sir , have to be John Deere`s best salesman by far.
wow that looks like a monster chopper
That's quite a CHOPPA! Back in 1981 at Empire Farm days they had a Stieger with a 6 row chopper mounted to the front it was impressive! It was two 3 row Hesston's married together running right off the Crank shaft! I think the biggest Deere at the time was a 4 row! who would have thought then there would ever be a 12 row! You should change the name to Farming Fixing Fabricating and wrecking Shit! LOL! Love the Videos!
She fairly pumpin it out the chute boss. 🇦🇺🤙
Wow that's some money in the field
Just listen !!!! Just listen to that w900!!!! Excellent
Hello from Canada great videos thanks for sharing
Good evening Andy..... another good video... I wish we videoed the tiling of that field so your viewers could see how wet the lower end of that field was last year.... it was so dry this year there's not much way of knowing if it worked... you also did a tillage video from that field in the spring... you should have just parked that 9900 in the shed next door for the winter and told caz you lost it
Yes you guys did an excellent job
Excellent video well done top job top team awesome thanks 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Went by your place today, you have a beautiful farm
Thanks
Love what you show and how well you deal with all the issues of farming. As a new subscriber, your cover photo shows 2 milk tankers backed up to you milking barn, but have not seen or heard of the milking side which pays the bills. Would you mind sharing that side of the story? Thanks
956hp V12 - Impressive!
That 99 throws a nice stream of silage
When your chopping are you using auto steer and just need to manage the discharge shoot or are you steering? Thanks for the video Andy!
I don't use auto steer while I'm chopping
Nice comparison between the 2 choppers. If you were to buy one of the two which would would you pick?
8700
Being awesome 99.9 % of the time is tough! We will over look the .1%!!!! LoL # Stuff that truck Andy!# Love your videos!
i love the 9900
Really nice wide control. here in NCWI everything was good until Sept and then the nutsedge came in
That’s pushing it out the chute with authority!
Hi Andy great video 👍🏻 I’ve got a question , on that semi you were filling at the beginning how much silage actually fits in that ? In acres ?
1.5
Good stuff. Impressive
enjoyed the video thanks andy
Well look on the bright side holidays just around the corner.😁😁😁
That's a busy machine
Good heavens that’s a big bunch of feed man
Good evening how is it going we are stuck with a pull type my neck always hearts after a day all ways loved the Self propelled choppers and I have a channel also we farming Wisconsin Dells and I am 14 years old
In the truck andy!
I’m in Northern Ireland and the agricultural contractors local to me got the first 9900 off the production line, I have a video on my channel
Awesome
My wife always gets farm equipment for her birthday!!!
Glad to see Deere has stepped up there chopper game. They always had awesome performance in hay/grass but just couldn’t cut in corn. We run a 980 Claas and I’m thinking that 9900 would be a close second to it. We went from a 7980 Deere to the 980 and that 980 was twice the machine the Deere was. That newer processor is how the Claas processor is setup with temp monitors and oil bath. I think you would love a Claas. You can even get them Greenstar and HarvestLab ready.
Our 8700 will out chop a 7980. We ran both in the same field, I almost think a 8600 would maybe give the 7980 a little bit of a hard time. The silage tests that an independent company did showed the 9900 it performing the 990 in almost every category.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating that's good to hear! We may need to request a demo on a 9900. Last time they brought out a demo to run it was an 8800 I think, and it blew the belts off of the KP twice in 3 hours. That was one of the biggest reasons we switched was from blowing KP belts and we couldn't keep the KP together. We've been super satisfied with the claas and our dealership support with it. Wouldnt be surprised if we eventually switch back to Deere though
That is my land! :) Always so cool to see my farm online. 4:20-4:35 for a nice shot of my barns and my mother's house.
Hello sir, I live near deruyter and work for MD Excavation....we did some tile there last fall and I have recognized those fields a couple of times that Andy has filmed from there too
Yes Ryck
My concern would be :
Can the 9000 w/ 12 row give you the production greater then the 8000 w/10 row.
Added expense of DEF ( alot of it while operating) bearing oil on the processor, and much larger engine maintenance that would be more involving and require greater dismantling just to perform the work.
Seems like 2 rows more in production can not overcome the added fuel, fluids, and downtime involved.
Make sense Andy?
I for one would like to hear your thoughts, given your production experience and current outlay on performance in the field.
It's all relative as far as operating costs versus tons per hour.
Very nice are you going to get one enjoy the videos 👍👍
Not now
Bellissimo video 🙋♂️ 🌈 🌞
You know there going to keep sending that till you buy one!😁
that looks like it is a little challenging watching the chopper and making sure the shoot keeps positioned right in the truck bed!
It’s not bad
Is most of the silage going in horizontal bunks? Seams like a lot.. but you’ve got hungry cows and I need milk and ice cream.. thanks
Yes
Awesome comparison video. Missing the price point for each. Even a ball park figure would be eye opening. Might prevent weekend warriors from thinking they can buy one to harvest their garden.
$10,000 per horse per
Deere needs to readjust the the idle down in big corn it could plug up if had to pull the stick back quick
That can be set from display.......I just forgot how is all
Andy it's unreal how much that machine can handle all that trash. Awesome Drone footage!! What's your speed overall? 12 rows doesn't take long. Lol!! Great explanation between both machines. Is there a magnet detector on the chopping head to avoid any serious damage to the machine? Andy great vid as always keep them coming, seeya at the next one. Be safe!!
About 5-5.5 mph is what I was able to do in that field.
that sure makes my newidea unisystem 3 row look slow . but its paid for
Damn that corn dried down FAST! If we had corn that dry in went in the Harvestor silos instead of the concrete.
Andy, do you typically try and get it off greener and do you get good fermentation that dry in the bunkers?
I think the corn has had a frost. We are in the same situation maybe 3 hours west of him. The stock and cob still has good moisture.
It was 55% moisture and yes we usually chop greener
ANDY THAT IS SOME GREAT INFORMATION VERY INTERESTING STUFF NOW I KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT I'LL BE OVER TO BORROW YOUR EQUIPMENT LOL 😄 THANKS FOR SHARING VIDEO 👍🇺🇸 .P. S. THAT IS QUITE AN OPERATION YOU HAVE GOING 👍
Thanks joe
That 9900 is awesome! I was thinking when I was a little guy riding in the truck with my Dad while chopping corn and was wondering if you ever caught the open window with a blast of chopped corn? I know it happened back then!!!
It happens
The first question I had was what's under the hood! A buzzing dozen! What's the fuel economy comparison and what oil is used for the bearings? Because we both know seals fall.
Fuel is comparable to ours when you calculate tons per gallon
Dam andy that 9900 eating the hell out of. The corn sweet
Nice
I’d sure hate to have to buy that kp belt on the 9900 😳
Guessing only a couple farms in NY could actually use that monster machine. Wondering if the updated kernel processor will produce more milk. Guessing some kind of trade off. Love how it cuts a two lane road thru the field
Tea Extra Hot Please I have at least ten farms in my area alone that could actually run this chopper, I live about two hours from Andy. We have a lot of big farms in N.Y. .
David Whittredge cool didn’t realize so many of the dairy farms around me are small less than 250 head. But Im from steuben county.
I’m in saratoga county, most of the farms by me are 500-1500 milking if not more.
You going to get a new one Andy? you would look good in that thing.
I don't recall anything being said about the cutting drum on the two choppers. Same width? Same knives (size and count)? Blower the same?
Yes all of that is the same
That corn is looking dry. Do you have to do anything back at the pit to get it to pack?? Just curious thanks Andy for bringing us along
It went in bottom of bunk
@@FarmingFixingFabricating
Ok so wetter stuff on top I guess seals it off? Thanks
With the bigger head and added power do gain 20% in productivity?
Yes
You might say she has plenty of power to get the job done haha
Grtz from Belgium
It seems like you're loosing a good bit of fodder but that thing is a beast.
It’s just light leaves
The corn looks dry. What is the moisture level. Have you had a frost yet? Jerome Manhattan Ks.
It was 55% top was frosted
Quite the machine there Andy, that refrigerator would fit in with Andrew's game plan lol. Did you let Sarah try the chopper out. That 9900 chopper to bad there isn't a way to use it year round for what it probably cost is horrendous isnt it ? I was thinking maybe you could blow snow into trucks with it.
She chopped some first cutting with it
great vid yep
It's a monster
What is the price tag on the 99 vs your chopper which camera do you like best for loading trucks the 99 or yours ?
Both cameras are the same, it's about$120k more than ours
At 1:15 it seems like you're leaving a lot of stock is that just from uneven ground?
I wanted to leave all the paint on the bottom of the head
Andy, I thought your 8700 gobbled corn but that 9900 really gobbles it up. To much chopper for you guys though because the trucks couldn’t keep up with your 8700. Is that the same chopper that you demoed this summer in hay?
Yes
How often do you chisel the headlands/end row section of the fields?
Every year
Now here’s the deal, you need to upgrade the chopper. That thing is a beast. ( that was my imitation of sleepy Joe ) at the beginning.
Lol,"shut up man" that was my Bidenism
At what point Andy is the chopper to big that the trucks can't keep up?
You just buy more trucks
I just looked up the cost of that 9900. Sweet G******
Let her eat Andy!! With that 12 row head you'd need more trucks LOL, that is a pretty impressive chopper.
i rode in that exact chopper
Another 9900 is the same?
When the truck is behind you dose the Auto fill still work ???? Or only when beside you
Ron Ron only works when beside you ,but we never use our on our class 980,the auto fill isn't responsive enough on ours and doesn't move the spout fast enough or move it when and where you need it!!!👍🏻
I didn’t use it when loading the black truck but I did when loading the red truck and then loaded the tractor trailer without autofill
Nice video Andy. Lots of info. When you ordering yours.
4-5 years
Is that 80-90 gear oil in the kernel processor oiler
No it’s some lighter weight synthetic something or other
