Sarah embraces technology, welds like she’s done it for years, chisel plows and has no problem getting her hands dirty! She’s the real deal! Great work!
🤩Thank you for your support!
Sarah you don't need autosteer your to goodda tractor driver, you've got the skills, you can already drive a perfect straight line, just like your dad Andy one of the old school.
Sarah is getting a little more comfortable on camera I see. She doesn't need to take a back seat to any of the guys. She is a very capable welder, fixer, and operator. God bless your family and may you all have a safe spring and summer
Andy, now that Sarah has auto steer, can you talk her into making some video content for you/us? Maybe she could tell us about her life on the farm. (Her likes/dislikes). Does she want to make farming her career? Seems she likes doing mechanical repairs & welding as much as running equipment. Does she work with the cows in anyway?
Great video as always.
Ingenious fix on the nut/socket problem. I'd have gone around the barn a few times before I came up with that. One of the many reasons I'm a big fan, well done Andy.
Best regards from Indiana.
With Deere being a common unit, FJ should anticipate the need for the adapter minus ruining a socket by boring + welding a nut to same. System is advertised as plug & play, so ship it as such. The ability to maintain steering telescopic setting should be anticipated, w/ included adapter components.
That’s a cool system. Sarah will master it no doubt. Thanks for sharing.
“The metric side of a Crescent wrench”. Cracked me up!
Smile Sarah !!
i think Sarah and dad work together amazingly shes a great worker as are all your kids Sarah needs to turn her frown upside-down she looks way more prettier when she smiles as always Andy you do a fantastic job explaining all the jobs that you do.
Great video! You are so good at explaining everything Andy nice to see Sarah jumping in and learning all this technology
Very kool hope it works out for you its always great to work with technology to improve anyway that u can when it works of course
Sarah's doing a great on the farm. It is quite good to see more and more girls & women working on farm's these days.
Nice install!!!
You are a true genius for todays farming world.
You mix old school in with new technology to make it work.
Love seeing Sarah every time. She is a real catch. I hope all the guys that are interested in her can measure up.
She has a lot of uncles out here that watch these videos to protect her good name. That goes for Alex as well lol!!!
Thanks for suffering through it Sarah! Great work around for the steering nut and the antenna mount. Knowing how to overcome the challenges makes all the difference. You made it look easy, Andy. Go dive in to the other box! You earned it! lol
There should be a SIM card included if that's what the kit requires to be operational. Having to run around to supplement the kit wastes time and is a pain in the ...
Great video Andy!
Sarah has a beautiful smile.
She is about excited as my daughter doing field work!
Great job Andy and Sarah.👍🏻
I have found that problems are often due to a loose nut behind the wheel! LOL
Keep up the good work!

. I wish they had auto steer 50 years, when l was on the family farm. We barely had power steering back then. Technology sure has advanced. Thank you for sharing
Hey Andy !
Good for Sarah and Thanks for her time.
Thanks Andy Hourigan the great and have a good day.
You always come up with different subjects for your videos. Sure enjoy the videos.
Enjoy your videos and like the way you show the reality of daily farm life. I no longer actively farm but still have it in my blood.
great to see family working together great job you two.
Beautiful job Andy and I see you had Sarah working with you she's the best keep the camera rolling
Great video Andy and Sarah
You and Duffy Ag need to work together on this. Same auto steer
he got. Love how you and Sarah work together. Great father daughter team.
While sitting in the tractor, you can tell Sarah is excited about having auto steer.
Sarah will definitely appreciate it. That will give Sarah more time to video. Lol! Great explanation on how the system is installed. Shop door clearance going to be ok? Seems to be a nice system. Thanks for sharing Andy. Definitely catchya at the next one. Stay safe!
Nice install, hope it makes the day a bit easier.
Cheer up Sarah, you're looking depressed.
😊👍
Looks good nice job
That GPS unit will pay for itself in time/ fuel saved ! We run GPS on all our equipment and we prefer the johndeere GPS systems . Even on our case quadtrac we run greenstar . My family was skeptical about GPS but it makes working at night easy and stress free. What really sold us was using GPS when combining soybeans in dusty conditions you can't see the ends of the heads with GPS it's safer and more efficient. I'm sure Sarah will enjoy not steering once she gets used to the system. Great video keep up the good work!
Good job Andy life is good you done a good job on the installation have a good day
Awesome was good talking to you on the phone hope you like it!
Yes sir
Love to see all your kids in your vids, they have picked all aspects of the way you do things over there, I watch alot of farming channels on you tube its rare to find a channel that shows all the different dynamics to farming life hats off to a great channel I look forward to seeing more great vids from you guys keep up the great work you do best wishes from the UK
Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada thanks for sharing your videos they’re great
Interesting video. I enjoy to watch you fab and fix things. Great to see more of Sarah. Thank you for taking the time to film what you do.
I'd fit one of those to my car if it could follow a google route!
The last and only time I've driven a car on the road "hands off" was in 1972 when working at the Transport & Road Research Laboratory (TRRL), Crowthorne, UK.
We used a Jaguar Mark III that followed signals from wires under the surface of our test track. The boot was packed full of mini computers etc.
I roared around the banked curves at 80 mph while reading a newspaper!
We also developed HUD's which I'm surprised aren't fitted to modern cars.
Let me get this adjustable wrench.. yeah its in metric setting. Andys subtle jokes 😆. Love to see how this system holds up
Hi Sarah from over the pond👋 nice to see you, your doing a great job. Enjoyed as usual Andy. 👍👍 Catch the next
Good for Alex! Old school all the way!
Andy great video and engineering on using the socket setup to tighten the steering wheel. Sarah as always continues to impress me with her skills. Now with auto steer she will have time to edit your videos between headlands, LOL.
I've never seen a combination SAE/Metric adjustable wrench before. All we have at work are Metric adjustable wrenches. Great video Andy!
Have to take care of lovely Sarah's office, take care folks.
Excellent video Andy thanks 🚜🚜🚜🚜🚜
Andy,got my first 30 pack Friday live in Ohio half way between Dayton and Columbus it’s a pleasure to watch you and your family work had rain and a few thunder storms Thursday night and Saturday night what corn that got planted end of April is about 2-4 inches from what I’ve seen
Great technology including Busch light! Go Andy and Sarah!!!!
Great shirt Sarah !
I haven't seen the John Deere cans here in Northwest PA yet, hopefully they show up! That system seems to work just fine on OLFs 7810.
Do you know Aaron Martin, a 2 cylinder specialist❓❓up in Penn Yan.🚜
@@billupstateny9151 no I don't. I live in Pa about 25 miles from the Ohio line.
UPDATE I just received a case of John Deere Busch light beer! My son was in a neighboring county in Ohio yesterday(Trumbull County) and he stopped and bought some and he gave one to me!
@@2cylinderjohndeere720 He is a tractor dismantling one man operation, but has inventory for the 2 cylinders, those are the only models for which he offers parts.
FJDynamics system works well on whole series of John Deere tractors, from 30HP to 500 HP
I was really hoping the auto steer system was going to be put in the skid steer those things are so hard to keep running 🤣🤣🤣straight
Simple yet effective, best engineering. Keep up the good work.
Another good video Andy you made Sarah's day
Andy,tell Sarah be happy 😃 and Smile! Have a Great Day!
great video, sara will take over your video job soon, i think the monitor should be closer to Sara
That's pretty slick what you came up with to adjust the telescoping steering wheel
Looks like a six step process to install auto steering on the Deere
Best way to drink the Bush latte....Open the can...Dump contents on the floor and put the collectors can on the shelf....
Uh oh
We are being spoilt with these great videos at one of the busiest times of the year !
It’s good to see a father and daughter enjoy an installation of an auto steer system those moments will live on threw Sarah keep up the great work Andy enjoy the time with your dad Sarah have fun
The wal mart here by me has them in stock and you might want to put an edge on her knife lol shouldn’t have to saw thru tape lol Duffy ag just put same auto steer on one of his tractors for his new planter to work with stay safe my friends
I just found them yesterday. I bought a 30 pack.
Good entertaining stuff. I like the Channel cuz not afraid to show mistakes every now and then and still have a good time. Actually learn a thing or two. Keep feeding us. Keep the videos coming.
I ran an ag leader auto steer that had a foot pedal to turn the steering on and off. It was really nice
Seems like a good system. Only thing that I notice is that you have to lean way down to reach the screen. One thing I'd change if that had to be the screen location is a button that you could mount some place for easier reach to reset the wheel
Yes
Andy, you should get a leased 50 cans of that john deere beer when you get an upgrade kit for your john deere planter
That is the same system that Wes at one lonely farmer uses he seems use’s what I’ve seen in videos he seems to like it I thought he said something about him becoming a dealer for them auto steer sounds like they are doing the same to you I know he was moving his antenna or what ever that thing was he was using there good videos Andy keep it up
Duffy ag has one too
I'm glad those beverages made it to you unscathed. I thought the JD box would help them keep a low profile.
Thanks
LOL you gotta make sure that adjustable's on the metric side, can't be messing that up!
Sara needs to start doing her own videos 😁 us girls need to show the guys up on TH-cam 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Sarah...hope you like new steering system....
Excellent
Great video 👍
Having worked on a big dairy farm in Western my you must plant at least 3000 acres of corn
Sure looks like the auto steer is right on the money!
They certainly seem to be pushing to expand their markets recently though they seem to already have quite the growing customer base here already judging by the number of comments and topics about them on The Farming Forum
They’ve done well supplying the big TH-cam farms,a crafty move that certainly sells.
Love those metric fits all wrenches😏
I’m enjoying a green can while I watch this!
Love it
Yup universal mount kit. One size fits nothing at. Had a lot of the same issues putting on my versatile. Not sure of durability yet. I’m thinking a used Trimble ex steer would have been a lot simpler. Time will tell
Yeah now they should have done was that a little green food coloring to the beer and make the beer look green
I guessed right seems alot of you guys are getting them
Good video I enjoyed it
Nice job young man and miss Sarah o and open the jd beers from the bottom lol i saved Billy Beers till they were unfit for consumption what a waist lol
The blue ones remind me of new Holland
Watched Chris Duffy install the same system
Thanks! The customization to maintain the adjustment is great. The last video was a great primer for this one, well executed.
Can you use your own GPS/RTK base station or must you subscribe to their RTK service?
Just an FYI, the actual "reciever's" are most likely in the display. The UFO thingies are just antennas. That is why there are the fancy co-axial wires all the way back to the display.
Would have to use their RTK
Top notch professional install Andy - I can see why auto steer would be helpful/convenient - cheers!
@@FarmingFixingFabricating what is their RTK called and how much is a yearly subscription?
Great video.Question is were any John Deere Busch cans 'harmed' during the making of this video. Not that i would blame you if you did.
Nope
Love it , start installing already , lol .
nice job
I've always wondered....if when Sara was a kid Andy would say..."put you hands in you pockets and don't touch anything"..when she was in the shop. 🤣😅😂
"The nut that holds the steering wheel" seems a bit unfair on Sarah 😂
Hello Andy good video. Why is it so important to have the auto steer? Have a great day.
Accuracy, minimize skips, off-road fuel now over $5 in NY, exact # of passes per field to fit the area dimentions. Less stress while multi-tasking, Tractor more stable, less chance to spill a can of deere beer. 👌
@@billupstateny9151 As long as the Deere beer not spilled that might be a good reason for some lol. Have a good day Bill
Hi Andy, case of Bush John Deere beer at Byrne dairy they can’t keep them in the store but I got lucky
You mean Busch
@@kirklothert3435 Well sometimes you can’t spell perfect while you’re driving a tractor and sending back comments I think he knows what I Meant
Andy, if you're not gonna have a beer, I'll have one in your honor, along with one (?) for me.
Great vid! How long did it actually take to complete the install? You are so good at figuring out the modifications and details. Do you think that bracket across the roof might sag eventually? Thanks.
It took a couple hours. The center won’t sag, there isn’t anything for it to support
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Thanks.
Did you have to install any kind of reference sensor in the articulation joint of the tractor so it knows what direction it's going or it's all by GPS?
Gps
No hater at all, but GPS is the last things these kids need simply because of complacency. They need how to hone their skill feeling the tractor, square up in the steering wheels, figure the boundaries for putting flags up to strike a field out, spray with your manual calibrations with a pressure gauge and mph for a half mile, figure the rate, write it down in your notes, be alert for all obstacles and stay off the stinkin cell phone! Earn the system after about 20 years of putting in their dues. You need experience and technique mastered first. I have the system now after 45 yrs but I will never regret getting the manual education I acquired in my early years. Deprivation leads to appreciation.The older generation will know what I am referring to but I'm sure comments will come back saying, "Well, it's not their fault they were born into it." I say, let them pay the $8k for the system and then they might take it upon themselves to manually drive the tractor parallel and get squared up. It sounds like the first girl mentioned said she didn't want it and she could do it herself. Sounds like she has some confidence and pride going on. Need more like her...
Ok
I've been watching this channel for 2 years and think all of Andy's kids pretty well understand eye/hand tractor driving. Not an attempt to shame you, but did anyone ask you why you ran rubber tires and had power steering when you might have benefited from 8-12 hours a day behind a horse drawn piece of equipment? When you have a $400k setup in the field making figure 8's turning around, you're losing money..FAST.. A $16k system is going to pay for itself pretty quickly on that rig. Your operator is going to go to bed rested and survive to work the next day for you and the next day after that.
@George Jones i highly doubt that as I have been doing sugar beets 35+ years and guess row is within three inches + watching the every move of the implement---so don't compare a profession that I honed for that long with a high school girl on a youtube channel.
Youre completely wrong on everything you said. You're suggesting being more inefficient instead of using something that creates efficeny. And no it doesnt create complacency, it reduces operator fatigue and allows for full attention on the implement. I never look where im going when im in the field. My eyes are on the planter all the time unless im turning.
@@PaulsonFarmsThat is about the stupidest comment I have ever heard--" I never look where im going when im in the field". Watch out for that highline pole as the satellite didn't map that one. On complacency, you tube Welkers' farm Nick planted all night and had his GPS all set up, lunch box packed for all night, cell phone with netflix, and by golly if morning didn't come, looked in his seed compartment, and only half was gone--he spent the next 9 hours going over the same field again--complacency, lack of focus, or inefficiency,---whatever word you want to use. And to add another point, drivers or operators are two different terms..
Andy is there anything you haven't taken apart or have knowledge on? I would think everyone would like autosteer.
Hey Andy Just curious why you would want a system like this over jsut running the deere guidance with the integrated steering valve instead of this system where the wheel is always turning in front of you,?
