Andy, you sure do have a knack for conveying your knowledge, your willingness to share each skill, time it takes, part prices , repair /replace .. some cuss words , whilst also operating everything to an owners standard. And i seriously love the countryside you show us!! Zach Johnson, Chet Larson, Andy Hourigan, Trevor Bales. You lads are the champions of American Farmers to the world !
Boy Andy it’s a good thing you put that system on yourself so now you have a problem you know right where to go probably was a little bit aggravating putting it on but I think you’re getting the benefits of that now
Andy I thought of you the other day I was in a drive thru and there was about 30 cases of John Deere beer that just got delivered to the drive thru. Thank you for making the videos you make
You are not alone with those sensor issues. JD has serious issues with them, and can't keep them in stock......that should tell you something. Thanks Andy again for sharing.
Heck Andy, you've always had good taste in music, to me, doesn't matter what "track" you play, it's ALL good. The price of these parts on the newer equipment, only confirms why I still prefer the older equipment that doesn't have all that electronic stuff on it.
Hey Andy ! row 1 , row 6 , row 13 alarm none stop , can not see the screen you need. you pretty good to selfcontol Andy . this is new technology my bus do the same whit alarm i loose half the power of the engine . Thanks Andy Hourigan the great and have a good day !
Andy , I was wondering if you think that auto steer system will work on my zero turn mower ? I've found its such a pain to drink beer while I am mowing lol
Glad your able to sell some of those auto steer units sorry your having some head aches with the planter always love watching your videos keep up the great work
How long of a runway do you need to get that aircraft airborne? That cab looks like the cockpit of a midsize plane! Great video, Andy. You were working on about everything new technology has for planting.
Andy, at the 44 minute mark when you are planting the upper field at the old McVoy farm those are most likely Rez dogs. The tenants in Uncle James' old house have 3 huskies, they wander off sometimes, but I would have heard about any escape as I always help track them. There is a pack of coyotes and feral dogs that travel between the Onondaga Nation and my swamp. I hear them howling at night after they make a kill. They came after me once, 3 of them, but my German Shephard and my Great Dane at the time chased them off. A few of my hunters have killed some of them, but there are dozens.
Great video Andy so sorry to see you guys lost the chopper Just curious how will you get the crops in without it thanks to you and all the American farmers
Andy, Enjoying a few of the green Busch Lights this A.M I work nights seen they have another new one Busch Light Apple love the apple pie drink but don’t know how it would taste only in 30 packs if they had a 25 ounce I would try it might take one for the team and try it
good video ANDY looks like auto steering is a bit to sensitive might be something that could be changed in its logic . i believe in its current configeration it would be giving all the steering components a work out other that looks good . cheers to all😁
Interesting to see those pressure sensors acting up often. Sure they will become more stable and maybe perimeters are set to touchy in the reading software.
Starting to think the implements need a separate hydraulic filtration system on them, technology maybe nice but the frustration involved proving it works is priceless ,but at the end of growing season do the bushels make cents$
While it was kind of John Deere to send you a self assembly planter in the form of a 10,000 piece jigsaw. It does make you wonder how they shake down new machines at the factory to iron some of these settling down issues out. Have you found any yet that are down to installation engineer warranty ? My wife can't believe all the screens in the cab, she thinks you're watching TV while planting 😂

All the damn electrical connections burn up so much time. We've got a freightliner with a series 60 Detroit in it. One harness goes through the valve cover for the injectors and the Jake brake. Periodically engine oil will leak through the rocker box bulkhead connector and engine oil will get all over the pins inside that plug. That engine will spit sputter and actually backfire so violently you would swear the thing is gonna blow up or did blow up. I Unplug that thing spray some contact cleaner, you're good for another hundred thousand miles. The moral of my story you can get a lot of strange symptoms from a poor connection lol. Awesome video Andy I hope things are going well now
I know the millennial farmer has been having sensor issues as well. Of course his planter had some building land on it. Probably be best if possible to replace all of the old sensors.
That’s a lot of screens. I don’t know how you keep up. Just curious, I realize it’s a bad sensor but would a remote hydraulic filter on the planter help with avoiding issues Incase it’s some dirt getting in and causing failures? Thanks for another great video!
I CARRY ELECTRICAL CONTACT CLEANER . FOR THEM SENSORS . WORKS GOOD 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME . JUST AN IDEA . I HAVE MUDDED IN FEALDS WITH WATER STANDING IN THEM . ALL COME OUT GOOD . .. DAM I MISS THE OLD PLANTERS .
Back in the late '60's when I ran main frame computer systems we called the process of "tapping" IC boards with a suspect faulty diode - "Applying Mechanical Margins". Is it not unusual Andy to have more than 1 pressure sensor acting up at the same time? Could the fault lie with control module that initiates the error code? Is there an OBD tool you can run to check in more detail what errors are being generated?
44:55 that good bonus in-the-field- testing. One has to wonder if this kind of validation in the test Strategy Document of FJdynamics. I'm guessing they must done some very similar testing during their product development. Otherwise overlaps and gaps would show. PS : Bonus for FJdynamics, they can just add this video segment in their their test reports and marketing spills. They should give you further discounts as compensation as a self-equipped beta tester
With all of the work that you did on the planter, does it give you a better crop than an older mechanical planter? I know that it gives a more even crop, but do you get a better payback from the new planter
The payback comes from a more uniform emergence, which translates to more uniform ear size. With electric drive meters you are also able to have individual row shutoffs, which saves seed, an no double planting. In Andy’s case where field size average is 10-15 acres that leaves a lot of off running rows, double plant opportunities etc. where the shut offs do things automatically it’s a huge time saver vs having to get out an turn off individual rows.
Glad I don't have to follow you step by sep and do what you do I would sure be tired before end of your day you are something.....man your cab looks like a spaceship buddy you sure are technically advanced my friend. Don't get sick Andy seriously doubt anyone but you could run that thing out of your crew .haha
Andy, near the end of the vid, when the cam showed the planter track, it seemed to be wandering quite a lot. The steering wheel is moving a lot too. I worked in automation for 30 years. The FJ unit should have PID parameters in it that can be changed. PID stands for, Proportional, Integral, and Derivative. These are the numbers that tell the steering unit how to react to the GPS. Adjusting those numbers should tighten up the corrections made. If they are set right, the steering wheel should never hardly move. Proportional is how MUCH it reacts, Intregal is how OFTEN it reacts, Derivative is how often it checks for error. Talk to the dealer about this. With the right PID, I'd have those rows so strait you could shoot a laser beam from one end to the other. Lol.
Good reply. Would be interesting to see the unit from a way away. The steering inputs seemed to generate a lot of over correction. You wouldn't drive like that, inputs would need to be a lot less, lowering correction and everything calmer. This should be configurable. Andy did mention a different receiver option. Here I go again as an armchair expert.
Can you still pull up your existing guidance trac data that you've covered/stopped in the middle of planting in one field then go to another field then cone back to the field you've stopped in the middle of planting and your guidance trac data still show you what you've already planted prior to stopping earlier. 🤔
Yes it will. You have to create a field name profile . When you record your track you name it and save it then when you re enter that field go to the correct field name profile and pick the track that you had named and you’ll be all set.
Monitors? Sheesh... Sulu prepare for warp speed, Checkov, lock phasers on target. Seems like sensors foul up everything these days. Got one in my car, if I turn left, it comes on when it wants to.
The computer program probably needs to be reworked. It might be programmed with a very short time interval as it reads the pressure. As the planter travels over rough ground, the pressure has to go up and down some and the computer can read in micro seconds when it probably should be using a longer time interval.
i can not see everything from your videos on here but i want to ask with you planting in 99% worked ground do you really need all that down force stuff the better shut off for seed and fert i see that ten million %

I thought it was supposed to be 13 that was unlucky but looking at you and Zach it seems to be row 12 with JD planters that are unlucky.
John Deere is going to have to install GoPro mounts on all their new equipment.🤠

If cows gave more milk i'm sure he would

let’s hope those newer style transducers are the fix .I bet they are not specific to John Deere only.
How many times do you catch yourself making sub conscious plans to by-pass all those sensors.?
Funny I thought the Title was going to be dealing with frustrating keyboard Warriors

It does sound like John Deere does have a sensor problem (I'm not color bashing) . a friend of mine had a similar problem with his updated JD planter.
Andy, did u hit the sensor with the inches or metric side. It matters on the adjustable. Lol.
I hit it with the standard side …. Tried knocking some cents into it
Great video!
I found that if you use the tractor dif lock on wheel driven auto steer systems it will be more accurate.

Sensors are the problem of the time and future. As more auto systems you will use, as more sensor you will have and they will fail by time...always!

Yes, that’s how the green cans are made
great show how big are the exotic plants now? thanks wcn

Wow. How did farmers survive in the old days without all those monitors. Lol.
They didn’t have a way of measuring anything
Can you still pull up your existing guidance trac data that you've covered/stopped in the middle of planting in one field then go to another field then cone back to the field you've stopped in the middle of planting and your guidance trac data still show you what you've already planted prior to stopping earlier. 🤔
