    Dad used to sell liquid fertilizer and i would apply it for the farmers in the evenings. So your little excursion brings back memories. Looks like your top feed roll needs some dental work! Your new magnate cost about a third of what I thought it would! I'm never good at estimating the cost parts these days.

    Im not a deere chopper fan, I chased the claas around for 10 years and had my guys make 10 passes across the knives every hour and they all saw a difference in length of cut and fuel used, just a thought, from Vermont

    • @FarmingFixingFabricating
      @FarmingFixingFabricating  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I only sharpen once a day when the chopper is clean.I don’t disagree at all with you,I won’t have a chopper left if I sharpen at all after anything is chopped.

  • @jbmbanter
    @jbmbanter 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The dairy guys next to my property here in East Central Georgia have their chopper in a corn field all primed to cut. It's been on and off raining here for the last several days so I guess the corn might be too wet to chop.

  • @transmitterguy478
    @transmitterguy478 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Andy, I think a lot of people would be interested in knowing more about the drone and how it works. I understand to run one like yours you have to log in or something? I want to buy one but some people say it's a hassle to do the logins. You could probably have half a video of content on a drone explanation and "training" class since you are a pro-experienced user. Thanks!

    • @RyanS493
      @RyanS493 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have used a couple different drones from DJI, the only reason for “logging in” is if the controller needs your phone as a viewfinder. Then you log into DJI’s app for connecting to the drone. It’s very easy.
      I grew up flying nitro rc airplanes, drones are way easier lol it’s just a camera in the sky, not an airplane.
      Main thing to be aware of with drones is your local laws about them.

    • @guydaubenspeck9206
      @guydaubenspeck9206 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well Andy, hearing you talk about sharpening those knives just spawned a thought and that is people don't realize the work we do to keep them fed and the work it takes to do it right to the uninitiated dull knives don't mean anything but you and I we know you want that theoretical cut to be right so that the cows can fully utilize the feed and also that dull knives cost extra diesel fuel. It's all well and good to be a big outfit like you guys but so many of them don't stop and take time to make sure the quality of the feed as well as quality I really enjoy watching you folks because I like to see the attention to detail that you pay. Many people don't realize that the good efficient dairies are the ones that pay attention to details in these days a high prices for everything and shortages and supply chain challenges and so on all that we can't control but we can do our quality control and I'm happy to see how you guys do that

      Sometimes the tree that was left in the middle of the field was what shaded a team of horses while doing field work. Other times it was a tree that they used to use for ropes and pulley’s pulling other trees with horses clearing land
