Glad to see you were wearing a dust mask while in the silo Andy, you don't want to get (Farmers Lung) and the mask also gave you a bit of a comical clown face afterwards !
Not much fun dropping doors, especially in the summertime. Back in my farming days we didn't have high moisture corn, but had alfalfa haylage and corn silage in upright silos. The alfalfa silage chute was always a miserable climb in the summer.
Well Andy I really do not envy you climbing up in that silo and lowering the unloader and emerging covered in dust. The dust is nasty stuff, but those silo's can be dodgy to work in on your own. Another fine installment!
I said it before and I’ll say it again, Alex has adapted nicely to running tractor trailer & now she also has a big articulated tractor for tillage also
On the bottom feed roll that plate on the bottom we were told it was a corn plate and not to run it with hay for rocks coming through. There is a rock guard to put in it that we are trying this year. Seems to be helping
I give er hell but don't think I could pull Andy's schedule. I often wonder what drives him, money? All he knows? Family future buisness? I would guess all 3
@MorganOtt-ne1qj I do understand that perspective, I was lucky to choose my profession correctly 25 years ago. I don't want to do it 120 hours a week though haha
@@PAYNEKILLER.. Everyone is different. If you love what you do, and especially if you were raised doing it, you don't notice the time, you notice what you get done each day, whether you spent 8 or 18 hours doing it. You really don't notice it. And you sleep well, every single night.
🌽🍞Gotta Ask - Watching this dusty video I thought of fresh Cornbread Muffins (sorry Andy :-), then it struck me, where does my cornmeal come from? Always assumed it came from what I called field corn. Now that I'm approaching fjb's age, I wonder if's ground from Sweet Corn? After all these years of not caring, NOW I gotta know...HELP 🥵❕ Thanks for video Andy. 👍
I think it time for one of the young bucks to take over the silo job. With age comes privileges and knowledge. Your passing on the knowledge time to pass on the silo.
lol there wasn’t any masked years ago I had to install unloaders in the dust and crap lol but it was an easy install as I knew patz equipment real well
The 900 looks better !!! You don’t need to paint it, Jared doesn’t always get what he wants lol!! It looks great gray, you need some different colors so people know you aren’t racist lol!!
Do you guys think you will move towards feeding dry shelled corn out of a bin that goes through a hammer mill in the future instead of filling high moisture corn in a silo?
Andy, you need to design and fabricate your own hydraulic lift for the feedrolls. You can figure it out better than any "educated" idiots that don't have a clue about what you need. Patent it, and offer to sell the patent to JD first. If they don't buy it, double the price and switch to the brand that buys it. Get a free chopper!😂😂😂
Andy the 6 generation Farmer is Putting in a Robot Feeding Machine and in there new Silos he put a Small Camera pointing at the Unloader so he Doesn’t have to climb up the ladder as Much! Just a thought!
You better watch what you’re doing PUMPKIN SMASHER !! I will take ALEX truck the shaker,sorry Jarred!👍👍😂. Thanks much FLIP FLOP HOURRIGAN?? spell ck please ??
I think this is a deep fake! You had a blue shirt and black pants when you went up and a white shirt and white pants when you came down! 😂 You need to promote someone to silo duty if only so you have a backup!
The mark of a real boss who will do anything that needs to be done no matter.he never asks of others a task that he is unwilling to do himself.i've been lucky to work for several and a couple now after retirement. Real Men.hard to find these days.
You’re great and I like how speak your mind. But,that clicking sound you make drives me up the wall. If you can can you keep from doing that.🥴 Please know we love your honesty.
Andy ya need to put sum summer air in those chopper tires so you just glide across the fields and not be bumpy. Lol. There’s only two types of music rock-roll or that other stuff that would almost make ya go back to a ex-wife
Much respect for a boss who is willing to do the dirty work.
First one up in the morning, last one to bed at night.
That's the life of a dairy farmer.
Andy you are the man! Thanks for all the GREAT videos. I really appreciate it.

The first climb dewebbing and whatever else is on the rungs.
Your rebuilt head still going strong. Only had the one break down with the chain and now working normal.
Well Andy I really do not envy you climbing up in that silo and lowering the unloader and emerging covered in dust. The dust is nasty stuff, but those silo's can be dodgy to work in on your own. Another fine installment!
Good video there MR, Snow man wow that silo is as Mike rowe says a real dirty job 👍👍😎
Another very interesting video Thank you Andy 😊😊😊
Hi Andy !
Good video !
Thanks Andy for your time and everybody have a good day at the farm ! 🙋♂️
Love your channel Andy!!!

That bar that you are seeing comes out for the corn saver plate
Idk, salt grey with the black and red looks pretty good.
If you change the red colour to gray would be better
Thankyou giving me the entertainment. Have a good day Andy
Another good one Andy Thanks for the video's 🐄 🚜 🇺🇲 👍
That 900 is a good looking truck
Thanks Andy, looks like it was a "busy day".
Oh the memory of changing doors and lowering the loader... lol.. been there did that too.
Enjoy your videos, Andy!!
Always great videos
Hey Andy, next time tell the kids that you are listening to Blueberry Yum Yum.
I give er hell but don't think I could pull Andy's schedule. I often wonder what drives him, money? All he knows? Family future buisness? I would guess all 3
The love of the life. Money is nice, family is great, but doing what you love is the best way to live your life.

Smashing Pumpkins?! Goooo Andy!! Maybe grow some pumkins to smash lol
KW looks great
Andy can't wait to get home to put on his flip flops
Cool video Andy!!
What happened to the Hollywood Hourigan decal? Did your dad put it on his truck?
We removed it

Thanks for video Andy. 👍
Good thinking to get dirty at the in of the day 👍🚜
Did you guys have any problems with those storms that came thru your area last week ?
No not really
Everybody that works hard now days wears the flop flips and and drive a squated ride..
Can you make a bunk for high moisture corn instead of the silo?
We have put corn in a bunk before
Andy, which crop gets dedicated more acres of land?
I think it's 60/40 more corn than hay
I worked with my grandfather for mutt zogg all thru middle school and high school
Play some AC/DC!
I bet you could still get it done in flip flops! Might be some sort of new pedicure!
Hey Andy what radios are you using and do you like them?
Midland for the most part
I think it time for one of the young bucks to take over the silo job. With age comes privileges and knowledge. Your passing on the knowledge time to pass on the silo.
👍👍
🗽🇺🇸
Go Sarah and Andy
lol there wasn’t any masked years ago I had to install unloaders in the dust and crap lol but it was an easy install as I knew patz equipment real well
on our macdon haybine when you pick yhe head up the rollers seperate
W900 all day all night
Thanks
So what does Boss Alex have to say about painting her truck red/black
The 900 looks better !!! You don’t need to paint it, Jared doesn’t always get what he wants lol!!
It looks great gray, you need some different colors so people know you aren’t racist lol!!
👍
deere will not put the hyd lift on that roll that would make for less parts sold thank you for the milk
People don't understand. Farm on!
I know a guy that has a whole fleet those freightliners he loves them
Do you guys think you will move towards feeding dry shelled corn out of a bin that goes through a hammer mill in the future instead of filling high moisture corn in a silo?
We are feeding dry ground shell corn as well
@@FarmingFixingFabricating ah, why keep doing the silos? better for the cows?
Youre not supposed to put big rocks in there to need to reverse them out, your cows can't eat rocks. 😂😂
He can’t park there

Is the 9620 on bunk duty?🚜
I remember farm dinner piece of ham five vegetables three eggs and lemon blend maybe pie.
How come the younger folks are not doing the messy work seems the older chaps should have a break on the dusty job.
Andy the 6 generation Farmer is Putting in a Robot Feeding Machine and in there new Silos he put a Small Camera pointing at the Unloader so he Doesn’t have to climb up the ladder as Much! Just a thought!
10th gen
I'd think it would get to dusty up there so you could see anyway
👍👍🇺🇸👏👏
Have a good dinner young man 😊
Looks like a bad ground on the right hand head light on the KW.
Dose Sarah still drive her white straight truck.
Ones and awhile
Hehe packing bunk in Crocs i did once LMAOO
Did you guys get hit with a tornado yesterday?
No
Well since you don't wear flip flops...how's about a pair of Jesus sneakers???
do not understand why you fill the trucks to overflowing when you have a empty waiting
Ah……that’s the age old question that I ask myself as well
At the end of the day you might have to use and extra truck so extra wages and fuel
When you chop 8000 acres a year every little bit counts.
Can't you get your wife to climb the silo when you're busy with harvesting?
You better watch what you’re doing PUMPKIN SMASHER !! I will take ALEX truck the shaker,sorry Jarred!👍👍😂. Thanks much FLIP FLOP HOURRIGAN?? spell ck please ??
You look like a ghost covered in corn dust.
Was that a 5 ft ladder leaning against the corn silo?
That’s about a10’ ladder
@@FarmingFixingFabricating That's an FBI ladder then Andy 👀!
@@davidholder3207😂😮👍🗽
I think this is a deep fake! You had a blue shirt and black pants when you went up and a white shirt and white pants when you came down! 😂 You need to promote someone to silo duty if only so you have a backup!
I'm sure others know how to do it, but when the boss is willing to do it, it inspires others to take on the unpleasant tasks.
My sentiments exactly I've seen that for years with my employees
The mark of a real boss who will do anything that needs to be done no matter.he never asks of others a task that he is unwilling to do himself.i've been lucky to work for several and a couple now after retirement. Real Men.hard to find these days.
I thought he sleepy joed his pants.🤣
You have a good day
Andy
Farm On
Whats wrong the Pete ?
You did it wrong.
Or missed a spot.
Just to be saying so. Thanks
No broken toes allowed.
Been there, done that. No fun.
You’re great and I like how speak your mind.
But,that clicking sound you make drives me up the wall.
If you can can you keep from doing that.🥴
Please know we love your honesty.
That’s why I do it
If that clicking noise is driving you up the wall , you must be partly up already 😊😊
I don't thick you filled Alex that much.
Andy ya need to put sum summer air in those chopper tires so you just glide across the fields and not be bumpy. Lol. There’s only two types of music rock-roll or that other stuff that would almost make ya go back to a ex-wife
