I'm a volunteer firefighter what important is everyone is ok equipment can be replaced.
Yea same here. Where I live the most we see is baler fires for agriculture.
Thank you guys for what you do. My hometown is volunteer firefighters as well and I appreciate you guys risking your safety for free to help others
Great assessment and thank you for your service.
Yes equipment can be replaced lives can't I to am x volunteer
Funny thing I’m also a volunteer firefighter as well
Andy I am always impressed with your work ethic. You do everything on the dairy farm.
Nothing better than people who have never done the job telling you what you did wrong. Really like your page . Keep on keeping on. Enjoy your family working together, your kids are great 👍

Hate u lost your Chopper but i know all about fire in the field...lost a 568 rd baler...managed to save the tractor...lost 97 bales and i was surrounded by fire...it was 90 dg and with all the hay burnin it was hell..
You are really grasping for straws, I've been a volunteer. Fire fighter for over forty years plus I worked two farms, ask your insurace agent about the ISO rating
I wouldn’t even acknowledge any comment that is a “answer” or “solution” after the fact. I’m sure you have enough experience that will continue your success. Thanks for sharing your videos.
Andy is the coolest farmer TH-cam'r on the internet. Tells stories perfectly well and detailed.
He's akin to a very intelligent college professor, you do learn!
The OPERATOR makes the difference in any piece of equipment. We almost had a combine go up harvesting wheat - the wind was blowing, and the chaff was swirling around, probably the same as with your Uncle John's chopper, and we got lucky that we caught it in time. We didn't have any water trucks but used every bottle of fire suppressant we could find and the field was the closest to town. I can tell you that when a fire call goes out in a farming community that everyone drops what they are doing and bring every piece of equipment you can imagine especially when you're harvesting a wheat field. I'm glad no one was injured but the feeling of losing a major piece of equipment is devastating.
We farm in west central Illinois.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE THE BEST ON YOU TUBE
YOUR NOT AFRAID OF TELLING US YOUR OPINION
THANKS FOR BEING YOURSELF.
BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE MILLIONS OF SUBSCRIBERS
BUT WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE SUBSTANCE DOESNT MATTER
UNLIKE OTHER CHANNELS THAT HAVE SPONSORS THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS ON A FARMING CHANNEL AND ACTRESSES WHO START A FARMING CHANNEL TO MAKE MONEY AND SHOW OFF
SORRY FOR THE RANT ANDY
Exactly!!!
Spot on Arthur, well said. I also like how you put it in all capitals really emphasized haha. I believe Andy produces videos that hundreds of thousands of people would be willing to subscribe to. And I think he deserves all of those subscribers and the benefits and profitability that comes with it. At the same time, I guess selfishly I do like that it's a manageable size right now and he reads all the comments and is able to interact because there are some good guys on here that leave comments such as yourself.
Thanks guys
I agree l’m always glad to hear his point of view on things
Actresses? Amber Heard pooped in Johnny's bed
We lost a Fendt tractor a year or so ago. As you said once they start you will not stop them. It started under the cab behind the operator, by the time he knew it was on fire nothing could be done about it. Keep up the good work and crack the 200k. From Down Under
I feel your analysis about equipment & how it is run & maintained is absolutely spot on! Glad nobody was hurt .. plastic ugh great stuff but once it starts burning there is no stopping it .. i said it before I am not a fan of plastic fuel tanks..
Thank heavens for our volunteer firefighters - we in Ontario County, NY are very fortunate to have excellent volunteers who are always willing to answer the call!
sorry for your uncles loss, hope he is able to pick up another chopper quickly love the videos you put out andy and appreciate them all take care all,
Thanks for your videos! I live in WA state now but can relate to your area as I once lived in Skaneateles and worked for Agway. Retired now but help on my friends 12,000 acre dry land wheat farm. We lost 2 combines to fire last year so I can relate, it is heart breaking but thanks to neighbors we got through it. Hoping for a better year! Keep the videos coming!
I am so sorry for your families loss. To loose such a top quality piece of equipment is major. I’m sure the family will help him out.
I greatly appreciate all your wisdom you share. Please, keep sharing.
Don’t let those negative idiots get to you. They don’t have a job. They think they are productive bashing others; makes them feel good.
I am a retired rancher, feel for ya. Keep up the good work.
Wyoming Jim 😊
Back in the day when I worked with wheat and barley one worried about the dust. I call it dust but it is the powder that swirls around the combine and the trucks as we loaded. That can be very volatile when as you said there is the exhaust the running parts of the combine or truck. As you mentioned, the chart can be volatile as hell. Awesome videos. Truly enjoy watching them with the family and you working together. Very adapt young ones. Keep rolling and be safe.
Andy, I watch every single one of your videos. There are a few farmtubers out there (yourself included) who do a great job of utilizing this platform to set people straight. I farm, and I've had several close calls with combine fires. Deployed a few fire extinguishers over the years. I've also had friends and neighbors lose equipment to fire. You're right... once it's going, there's no stopping it. And there will always be people that say it's poor maintenance or neglect... B.S... there's usually no way to prevent it. Thanks for helping set the record straight. Keep it up!
Great videos and great explanations. A man with real farming knowledge and experience. Great to watch.
We live in a world that everybody gets bent out of shape just because of a picture. Sometimes we just need to sit back and listen.
You have matured substantially from those volatile days on WES's channel. Admittedly, most of us hoped you would take a long permanent swim in the river.
At least you acknowledge your comments. The finger snappers don’t. Out of the big channels I think Welker’s are the only one that answer anyone. So keep doing what your doing. Majority of your viewers like you for you not the way someone else wants it to be.
Excellent commentary Andy, thank you for sharing your perspective.
Glad to see everyone was ok. Thanks for the great videos..
I spent 2 summers in Oregon in the 70's stacking hay bales, off the field to a truck then into the loft I was 14 -15. Great training for football season. I have watched some of the other TH-cam shows on "Farming" yours, by far, is the best, an always watch. I like the family feel and hard work and variety. Keep filming and I'll keep watching. Thanks
Glad you spoke the truth Andy. Our family loves watching your videos. Keep up the great work.
Luckily for you Andy, all of your good practices are documented through this channel.
Keep up the good content man!
I’m glad everyone is safe! Machinery goes up in smoke very very fast. Not much you can do but get away. I think volunteer fire department personnel do a fantastic job. They have to leave their jobs or families to help others. My dad was a volunteer fireman for 51 years. I’m very proud of him for that and many other reasons. Thanks for sharing Andy!!
Andy your honesty is why we all watch every video you put out!!!
Thanks for the open honest and frank explanation. Keep speaking your mind, it has many great tidbits bits of knowledge.
Great video , and better discussion. I appreciate your honesty as to what is currently happening in the agg machinery department.
Hello Andy,
I love your channel. I've learned a lot about farming and maintaining equipment from you, more than any other farming channel. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks for sharing your farm life with us
Great hard working family, what a blessing to see.
I have ran Fire and Rescue for many years and when something like this happens there is only one thing that is truly important, That no one is hurt!!. Sorry to see your family loose a machine, I know many will pitch in to help.
Thank you and your family for the great videos.
Thanks for keeping it interesting. 💯
You are always up to something Andy.
Sorry for your uncle's loss glad no one was hurt
Andy all your commentary was spot on. As you stated you do all you can to prevent it but it happens. As always love your videos keep them coming thank you
Most important thing is nobody was hurt. Just keep doin what your doin, Thank You Andy!
Andy - you had me rolling with all the descriptions in minutes 11 through about 15, I had to pause several times. Great stuff. Keep up the good work. You are a joy to watch!!
You can fix broken but not stupid. Thanks for taken the time to air your operation.
Enjoyed your explanation video! You are one busy Ag Manager! Keep up the informative videos!
Another good video. thanks for taking us along.
There's nothing better than to watch and learn off a damn good operater,just look how well your bringing your kids up,I've always wanted to be a truck driver like my dad and that's what I went for,My dad passed away so I couldn't really show him I made it,but have learnt skills he gave me and use them to this day,been driving now for 35years,watching you personally working is awe inspiring to me.keep up the daily chores Mr Hourigan😎😎😎very cool.
Thanks Andy for your time and consideration top job God bless you and your family 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️
The last farmer I worked for, his family had a dairy farm and also delivered their own milk. He said al he did was fix tires on hay wagons, and everything else. One big difference since then and today is the invention of battery powered tools. It saves an incredible amount of time. Fixing stuff is the one thing I do not miss about farming.
Awesome video Andy! Commentary was spot on.
I agree with you totally. I was combining oats with a Uni-system combine. I was extra vigilant all day but late afternoon the wind picked up and the chaff swirling got on the exhaust and I had just unloaded in the wagon and "Fire"! It went up so quick I barely got away when the gasoline tank went. Scared the begeezes out of me. When it happens to you then tell me. God bless you guys and I pray your uncle can get a replacement chopper to get his feed harvested.
You do deserve more recognition, your videos are great!
Very good talk Andy, thanks for sharing
Hey Andy, I have been in construction for over 40 years and spent my childhood summers on my uncles farm which he ran all John Deere equipment. I kid people I bleed Deere green, and one construction company I worked for he ran all Deere equipment which to this day I still love, he was the one that told me any machine is nice when its new but it also requires the proper maintenance and operators who know what they are doing!
I always enjoy Your videos , one of My favorite farming channels out here.
Great account of the trials and tribulations involved with harvesting crops to feed dairy cows. People have no idea with how much know how and ambition it takes to be successful. I admire you greatly, Andy.
Thank you
Awesome video and advice Andy!
I hope everyone was ok, very scary situation. Im glad you explained what happened. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great video talking about chopper accident very good talk
I enjoyed the video once again!! Thanks Andy!!!
I had a combine start on fire on me a few years back. It really gets your adrenaline going real quick.
You are absolutely right about a skilled operator knowing how and when to make adjustments to get the most productivity out of that machine. Maintaining it keeps you moving forward to get the job done 👍 Chop on!
Awesome video the maintenance and the operates are the key to any machines life
Andy, I am a volunteer firefighter in WI I'm sure you probably have the same problem we're everyone is either at work or sleeping and it takes time to get to the station let alone get gear on and get there. Thanks for all that you do and show to the public.
Enjoyed your channel leaned more about silage from you than any other Channel 👏👏
Thanks for the comment
So sorry for the loss. My prayers
I. Hoping your uncle recovers quickly,farming doesn't wait for replacements, good luck on you this year too
Happy chopping Andy!
Thanks for your videos
Love how you tell it how it is keep your videos coming Great to see you in the Fields love all your information about what is going on at the time
Great video Andy keep saying your piece look forward to your next video
94,000 subscribers now👍Well done and thanks for all that you do to make this channel great☘🚜
Birds made a nest on the engine cover of one of our 280s while it was parked for a week, didn't notice it was there until I pulled a hill going down the road and it really got some load on. Topped the hill, thought the air outside was a little more opaque then usual. Hop out, pop the hood and there's a lovely roaring fire on top of my engine, had to beat it out with a sweater that our Pioneer Rep gave me. Thanks Brian, you saved the tractor. Needless to say, there are certainly less birds on the farm by any means necessary, and hoods are always popped after sitting.
Very interesting thanks, there is so much more than meets the eye you have so much knowledge.
You nailed it on operators!
Great video. You do a awesome job. Really like watching your videos.
Like your Honesty, honest content,keep up the good work
I’ve been a mechanic a long time and I’ve never found a way too fix stupid!! The fire dept saved the rest of the field. It’s a blessing that nobody was injured! Thanks for the honest truth!
I don't feel like this was clickbait at all. This was an important and necessary video. Thank you for filming this.
I am so glad to hear him set things straight I am sure the motormouths he was talking about didn’t even realize what he was talking about
Thanks for telling them how it is .. any loss hurts .. people don't realize how things work!!!! Keep up the hard work.
Yep, there are operators and steering wheel holders. If Andrew had been just holding a steering wheel, he would have made a round before seeing the drag marks from the broken spindle. But, he was watching his equipment, knows what the heck is going on and stopped quickly. Glad there were no injuries with the chopper fire, it hurts to lose a piece of equipment, especially in 2022, when its not easy to find replacements, but could have been a lot worse if someone had burn injuries.
We really enjoy your videos and when we saw the thumbnails we were worried. Were really sorry for your uncle's chopper. But were glad everyone is ok.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming
About 15 miles west of me an older series JD chopper burned up while chopping hay. Andy, you are correct, once it starts just let it go, you can’t stop it. I am surprised there aren’t more fires when dealing with all this dry material.
Well said Andy. You were on point on everything
Good maintenance and operator goes a long way.. And you are the best I know at both! Keep up the good work, stay safe!👍👌🤙😉😊
This why I love this channel, Andy tells it like it is!!! Sorry your uncle lost a very expensive piece of machinery.
Good video Andy! Gotta love keyboard warriors. As for the fire department, guess some people don't realize that in rural America we rely on volunteer fire departments. I was a volunteer fireman for 15 years and love d every minute of it, but it was also very time consuming.
Nice talk Andy. Keep up the good work. 👍
So sorry for their loss. Glad no one injured.. Hope there are some available for sale in the world we live in now
How crazy that the day after this video our New Holland 850 had a smoldering friction fire around a feed roll with no mechanical issues. No flames but could be smelled. This was rained on trit bone dry on top and windward side of windrow and remnants of moisture in the middle. I'm guessing 50% moisture on nearly last pass of our trit. Tough conditions in southeastern Washington state for spring harvest to say the least!
Anyhow thanks for all your efforts. Amazing u have the time and energy during harvest to entertain us!! Good luck and God bless
Spot on with narration. Keep it up. As a career firefighter and full time row crop farmer and feed mill owner, you are correct with trying to save machines. It almost never happens. I get your comments about smelling things. I run a combine and am always smelling and looking. I carry extinguishers but is the hydraulic or fuel tank gets going, its good buy. Leak blower, pressure washer, and air compressors my best friend. You are still the best TH-cam farm channel in my book. Look forward to FFF all the time, best reality "TV" out there. Take that TH-cam.
Thanks
Thanks for your explication I’m not a farmer and I’m sure you have the good explication because you are almost born in that kind of machine thanks you to share your experience
Very good video and very well put. Everything burns and brakes down. Like you said maintenance and Knowledge of your machine is key. Anyone can get in and run one but that don't make them an operator.
I could listen to you ramble all day Andy great video as always 💪💪😎😎😎
Well said Andy! Sorry bout the loss of equipment but thankfully nobody got hurt. The critics are always gonna be on social media but the ones who give a damn and who’ve went through similar situations will always have your back. Thank you for the good quality content in your videos! I enjoy the hell outta them.
Great content as usual talking about getting the best out of any machine my father always says: Anyone can be a tractor driver but not every one can drive a tractor.
Andy - I think your commentary was spot on. When that much diesel fuel burns you can't put it out. The important thing is that no one was hurt and any piece of equipment can be replaced. Keep the great videos coming. Really enjoy them all.
Thanks Ed appreciate the kind words
Good talk Andy, I agree wholeheartedly about operators and maintenance. What really steams my shorts is the fact that you were able to anti seize that big ass spindle without ending up looking like the Tinman. How the hell does that work? It just ain't fair.
Best regards from Indiana.
Very good video praying God bless you and your family
Thank you for sharing!
well explained Andy very good video glad no one was injured equipment can be replaced not lives i'm a retired heavy equipment operator of 33 years and I've been in equip run by an amateur and man I get pissed you need to respect the iron and maintain the iron
Great video Andy
I watch damn near everyone of your videos when time permits and enjoy everyone of them. I think mostly because we’re pretty much on the same page.
Glad it wasn't this chopper that went on fire in the picture - you put a lot of effort into maintaining it. Before you upgrade your current chopper next time in a few years, I hope you are able to take a test of the latest Krone Big X 1,100 Model to compare.
Yes George he did indeed
Great tutorial just a great explanation.
Don’t take any notice of the keyboard worries. They don’t understand how quickly fires start on this kit. It all runs so hot on a warm dry day. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
I appreciate your information.
Keep up the good work You're doing an excellent job
