Andy, your kids are better operators than 99% of hired hands in the business. Their attention to detail in catching small problems before they turn into large problems are unmatched! Raise your head high good sir.
hi andy. i hope you appreciate those kids. i honestly don't know where you would be without them . they are cracking good workers and very vigilant . not to mention their ability to get stuck in to fix something .
Andy, I always have felt I / We were the only ones in the world having silly problems. However watching your channel and a couple others, You Guys have made me feel better. what happens on our farm happens on everyone's farm.
Andy I have to say you're the most calm man under pressure, breakdowns, mishaps, always keep your cool. Of course flipping out doesn't help the situation either. Love Sara's shirt btw, definitely take after their pops.
Very good point. I grew up on a farm in the 60’s&70’s and my dad had a very short temper. It didn’t take much for him to blow up, a lot to deal with when you’re just a kid.
I love how the girls just get the tools out and get after it. These farm girls are the real deal for sure. Good job Andy and Mom too. Nothing fake here folks.
Alex did a good job seeing a small issue before it became a bigger one. Farm girls rule; this is a hard skill to teach some people!! Love what your family brings to the table
When I was a teenager, I had similar issues with a disk and the semi-mounted (2pt plow on quick hitch) 6 bottom plow. Sometimes they would unhook and I would whip out the chain I always carried in the cab, attach to 3pt and lift. Our plow would simply slip off the 2pt quick hitch and flip on its side. Our loader tractor was not strong enough to lift. I got good at unhooking the hoses and the remaining 2pt attached point, driving to the side and pulling the plow upright. Then I could push the quick hitch into the ground and back up to rehook up the plow ... and away I went.
Andy, Always nice to hear there is impressively long farming history with certain plots of land - makes watching your videos all that more enjoyable- never tired of your commentary brother. Cheers
Its really nice to see that there are actually some kids in this next generation that aren’t afraid to work and get their hands dirty. Unfortunately they are few and far between 🙈. You and your wife are doing a great job raising those kids Andy. 👍
Hi Andy ! you having very good operators for just minor call like this , Thanks Andy for bring the caméra whit you on service call and have a good day all of you !
I saw the title of this video and was wondering if Andy was going to pop another wheelie!🤣 Our desert is finally starting to act more like a desert so we can start farming too. Good luck with spring, sir.
I remember when the weld failed on one of those shanks in that disc ripper over off of amber road. Ended up going down and checking my uncles sunflower chisel plow almost all of his welds were cracking on his shanks also. I believe sunflower replaced that chisel plow.
boy those kids keep a sharpe eye on the equipment as to minimise damage you have to be a proud dad Andy ive seen people almost destroy equipment by not paying attention until its to late.
I am new to the channel, can y’all tell me if I’ve got their names figured out. Andy is the father with daughters Alex, Sarah and Charlotte (Charlie) and his boys are Jared and Andrew. Sorry I have trouble with names. As so many farming and ranching families their work ethic is off the chart. It’s good too see because it doesn’t exist in many things these days. God Bless them. Thank y’all.
Now here's a comment I can appreciate. Most people put in zero effort and just ask the question: how many acres do you farm, how many cows do you milk, whats everybody's name?? Where if they just watch the videos and pay attention they could answer a lot of their own questions and learn something along the way.. awesome comment randy
@@Adam_Poirier I try not to ask stupid questions but I couldn’t sort out the girls, then he called Charlotte Charlie and I got lost again. I can’t remember names unless I have some reason to write them down. I didn’t realize Jared was his boy till just recently. These folks impress me so much with their hard work I just wanted to make sure I had who they are down. I watch a local rancher that has a boy named Clancy Bob, he calls him everything from Clarence on down, but only one kiddo so I could keep it straight. My Dad was a cotton farmer for many decades, sold the farm to my older brother and he sold it to my nephew, they farmed the same place over a hundred years. All their work ethic was off the chart just like this family. I sure wish there was more of this in our society today. I meant no offense in asking names, I hope no one took any.
Amazing what a hitch pin does. All the power of the tractor is concentrated in that one piece of metal surrounded by the tractor hitch itself of course.
ANDY LOVE THEM PINS WITH THE RED TOPPS ON THEM ,BUT WE DO THE FARMERS FIX WITH BALER TINE .TAKING TWINE THROUGH LOOP UNDER THE PEN AND TIE A SQURE KNOT. CAN ALSO USE CHAIN .VERY EFFICTIVE
Andrew was smart for hooking up the safety chains smart young man right there when I go to move my up stairs renters snowmobile trailer due to the fact that I don't have a ball that will stay in place I hook up the safety chains.
Alex I love it your not scared to get dirty , to get thing fixed and nice your dad can count on you to do your best to keep things going your job good job and dad can take a day of if he wants to and I know he works long day every day to
Awesome video, Andy! Love watching the plows rip up some acreage! Thanks for turning the camera around and showing yours in action. It does a great job!
Hi Andy. Love all your videos Just watched Steve Lehto on his channel. He says Colorado just passed right to repair law. Tractor And combine are part of the bill that The Governor signed.
Dad's 4020 and 5020 had the spring loaded strap on it , he thought they were good. I got my 5020 it had a strap on it. I took it off. He put it back on. I took it off! Told him leave that price of junk off. He did.
if Bud Lite wants to TRY and recover their image, they need to put Andy's pic on a can & salute all the hardworking/backbone of America farmers ... or just a pic of THE Mullet Man Andrew 😂
Would have been a great opportunity to teach the young fella about getting himself out of that situation alone. Hook safety chains to the 3ph lift arms and lift tongue high enough to get implement jack back in place, hook on like normal. Good video
@18:34 Vertical movement moment. Should be well secured with the fix. There is many stones on those fields btw. "Happy Days Are Here Again" and found another log chain ;)
Just a suggestion but I bolt the chain loop on those hammer straps on the bottom of the hitch. That way theres less up and down movement with the implement hitch plus the pin sticks out the bottom of the draw bar a bit more with those short JD pins
The chain loop on that style hammer belongs on the top of the draw bar.8000 series belongs on the bottom, if you don’t allow enough of a gap you will brake something
Lots going on, thanks Andy. Sorry for being ignorant but do those implements have a positive raised position lock and not rely on the hydraulic system.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Sorry Andy, I knew the hydraulics raised them, I was thinking about the safety aspect and wether they had positive locks so they could not lower in event of hydraulic or hose failure. Thank you.
Andy, you got to be proud of your kids. They take pride in what ever they are working on. Always paying attention to the machinery.
Andy, your kids are better operators than 99% of hired hands in the business. Their attention to detail in catching small problems before they turn into large problems are unmatched! Raise your head high good sir.
Your comment is absurd 99%.
😂
This showed the difference between tractor drivers and equipment operators. Both Alex and Andrew realized the problem and reacted quickly. 👍👍
hi andy. i hope you appreciate those kids. i honestly don't know where you would be without them . they are cracking good workers and very vigilant . not to mention their ability to get stuck in to fix something .
The only thing better than watching the land being worked is, being the one working the land.
Or just the smell of freshly worked ground
Amen brother!!
True dat
It is a real pleasure to watch you and yours working together.
Andy, I always have felt I / We were the only ones in the world having silly problems. However watching your channel and a couple others, You Guys have made me feel better. what happens on our farm happens on everyone's farm.
Your kids are so compent. It makes me feel better for our country. God bless farmers!
Andy to the rescue it was great seeing Alex. I hope you all have a great day. 👍👍
Andy, those 2 lady's, and your little man are a great team, making the farm money every day! Art
Andy I have to say you're the most calm man under pressure, breakdowns, mishaps, always keep your cool. Of course flipping out doesn't help the situation either. Love Sara's shirt btw, definitely take after their pops.

I love how the girls just get the tools out and get after it. These farm girls are the real deal for sure. Good job Andy and Mom too. Nothing fake here folks.
Excellent ripping action. And your kids are all getting better & better at handling big equipment & doing repairs! You must be a proud Dad!
Alex did a good job seeing a small issue before it became a bigger one. Farm girls rule; this is a hard skill to teach some people!! Love what your family brings to the table
What a great way to raise a family. You are blessed. God bless
It must be nice to have operators that pay attention to the equipment, what is going on around them and what the equipment is doing.
When I was a teenager, I had similar issues with a disk and the semi-mounted (2pt plow on quick hitch) 6 bottom plow. Sometimes they would unhook and I would whip out the chain I always carried in the cab, attach to 3pt and lift. Our plow would simply slip off the 2pt quick hitch and flip on its side.

Thank you
Its really nice to see that there are actually some kids in this next generation that aren’t afraid to work and get their hands dirty. Unfortunately they are few and far between 🙈. You and your wife are doing a great job raising those kids Andy. 👍
That’s why it is called farming, fixing and fabricating. I always learn and enjoy. Keep it coming. Fantastic.
Andy great team work with the disk team an safety chains in the roller on right chris crossed 👍🚜
Special Father Daughter time right there!
Hi Andy !
you having very good operators for just minor call like this , Thanks Andy for bring the caméra whit you on service call and have a good day all of you !
I saw the title of this video and was wondering if Andy was going to pop another wheelie!🤣
Our desert is finally starting to act more like a desert so we can start farming too. Good luck with spring, sir.
Love seeing the tractors at work
Glad to see your field work getting underway. Repairs and minor mishaps always seem to crop up as things are moving along. All part of the game!!!
3:30 Enjoying some Labatt blues in the dusty hot!
I remember when the weld failed on one of those shanks in that disc ripper over off of amber road. Ended up going down and checking my uncles sunflower chisel plow almost all of his welds were cracking on his shanks also. I believe sunflower replaced that chisel plow.
Yes those had some problems
I drilled my pins and used lynch
Pins. Always had good luck over
25 years. Of course never lost a
pin on the strap system on 8630
and 4640.
You have to commend your kids on looking back and stop before big price repairs happen
boy those kids keep a sharpe eye on the equipment as to minimise damage you have to be a proud dad Andy ive seen people almost destroy equipment by not paying attention until its to late.
Well, looks like everybody’s back in the saddle again Plowing and rolling One big happy family😊❤

Turning under cow poop, the smell out there must be divine. Kids do a great job Andy.
Best regards from Indiana.
Great job rolling Andrew
Look at the tires on that tractor (9560)... So sharp and aggressive looking!!
I'm glad you call those chisel plows. That's what I have always called them but my boss calls it a soil saver lol. Just not what I'm used to
Great job girls and andrew hope it stays dry for planting andy, that 9560 looks great with the new rubber thanks for the video andy.
Another great video, love seeing a family working together
TO 25 To this day I still have a 1954 TO 35..Great little tractor. Very handy.

Your farming is bringing back memories. I haven’t seen a rock in 30 years since I left Connecticut….😂
❤watching you guys work the fields👍
Alex I love it your not scared to get dirty , to get thing fixed and nice your dad can count on you to do your best to keep things going your job good job and dad can take a day of if he wants to and I know he works long day every day to
Awesome video, Andy! Love watching the plows rip up some acreage! Thanks for turning the camera around and showing yours in action. It does a great job!
Well done. Alex looks good, nothing like a lady that knows how to run big John Deere equipment. Stay safe all.
The talent in your family is the very best , equipment , that's money ! Stay safe everyone ! You must be very proud of all , the very best daily !
Hi Andy. Love all your videos
Just watched Steve Lehto on his channel. He says Colorado just passed right to repair law. Tractor
And combine are part of the bill that
The Governor signed.
Thanks Andy for another great video, nice to see fieldwork starting
R clip never heard them referred as such. Makes sense.
Those rocks would drive me nuts!
Always the one thing. You need. Isn't in the truck. Thanks Andy Florida joe

Andy you have a good working crew.Don’t forget to wash Charlotte’s truck.
Very heavy compaction there. The girls doing what they love doing 'driving tractors'. young Andy is more and more the spitting image of his dad.
All your kids have a good education growing up on farm. I grew up on a farm.
How wide is your roller? How much does it weigh ?
Great video Andy
Alex is awesome and she enjoys farming and makes it look good
Would have been a great opportunity to teach the young fella about getting himself out of that situation alone. Hook safety chains to the 3ph lift arms and lift tongue high enough to get implement jack back in place, hook on like normal. Good video
Great video. Your team is awesome.
Andrew pays attention to what his doing. Many people would have dragged that roller.
Andy it looks like you could sure use a 1/2" rain to settle the dust and maybe chisel a little easier.
Rocks, rocks and more rocks. Wow
Well both of those issues could have been mich worse.That is one heck of a roller!
Lots of rocks! Gotta go through a lot of tips in that soil
@18:34 Vertical movement moment. Should be well secured with the fix. There is many stones on those fields btw.
"Happy Days Are Here Again" and found another log chain ;)
Nice equipment and Operators. All those tractors look good
Great video Andy thank you! Let Tim host give him the camera!
Great video Andy I enjoy field work.
The ground looks very hard in places. A good rain would be nice to break up the chunks.
Just a suggestion but I bolt the chain loop on those hammer straps on the bottom of the hitch. That way theres less up and down movement with the implement hitch plus the pin sticks out the bottom of the draw bar a bit more with those short JD pins
The chain loop on that style hammer belongs on the top of the draw bar.8000 series belongs on the bottom, if you don’t allow enough of a gap you will brake something
Give the impact wrench to her. Best way for her to learn. You supervise.
I started driving tractor when I was 5 not by myself, when I was bout 12 I started doing field work maybe sooner can't remember 👍👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺
You got a few stones for Andrew to push in there too Andy. Well done Catch the next.
Love watching the dust fly
Great video 📹 Andy, time ⌚ for some 🌱
The chisel plow you use , how many horsepower is needed to operate, it has to have going in that deep ! Stay safe everyone ! Enjoy !
Thank you
Look at the rocks in the field Sarah and Alex are chisel plowing man
Thank you Andy!
Awesome video Andy. Hey why so many bare patches in your grass,? Did it get drowned?
Lots going on, thanks Andy. Sorry for being ignorant but do those implements have a positive raised position lock and not rely on the hydraulic system.
Hydraulics raise them
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Sorry Andy, I knew the hydraulics raised them, I was thinking about the safety aspect and wether they had positive locks so they could not lower in event of hydraulic or hose failure. Thank you.
I use those expensive locking pins
My Dad had me on a Ferguson To 25 when I was 5 by myself.scary at first but it worked out fine
I had the same hammer strap on my jd4230 never had any problems with the pin working up and out
Could be the spring is getting weak
Great video keep them coming Andy
Thanks Andy for the videos
You got lots of rocks out there
Can’t you use the 3point hitch arms with rollers chains and lift it so the rollers jack wirks
Ask harbor freight to see if they will discount or just send you the off road 3 ton floor jack that's black with large tires.
You could sure hear the rocks smashing agenst the rollers .... lots of rocks ..
Andy to the rescue again
As always great job! What’s your opinion on LanDoll?
Andy, is there any soil in the last bit of ground you were working or is it all rocks? Chunky!
Hey Andy! I give you a lot of credit having your family on here some days. Hey, how YOU doin?😏
