Glad to see a man still teaches his kids how to run equipment and work. Respect for you and your dad. Love seeing younger ones take interest and enjoying it. Not only being able to operate it but to be proficient, have a great family there man.
Great to see how you involve the next generation in your business. Fantastic to see a family working together. Love the insights you give to farming “State Side”. Viewing from Northern Ireland and love your channel!
Riding in a AC cab haying kinda takes the fun out of haying back in the day had to run across the fields and throw the bails by hand🥵🥵 great video keep them coming
I have commented before on how great it is to see the kids along side dad. It must have been a thrill for them to get to run a new machine. Great job dad.
Andy, hats off to you for teaching your children responsibility and hard work at such young ages. Very cool to see them help as much as they do in such a mature and professional manner.
I love how you have your kids involved in your operation as I was a hiredman and my son and daughter were there to help me at the age of 5 and my son rode with me all the time and one day I had to get my pickup and carhauler and skidloader to my place 5 miles away and the tractor and disc so I took the tractor and my son took the pickup and trailer and I told him to stay way back and I got on the yard at my place and put the tractor in the shed and was walking by the house and my wife came out and says to my son you think your pretty hot shit. He says no dad needed both things here and you were working. Then she cut lose on me and I said he's gotta learn sometime. I enjoy watching Sarah and Andrew working in your videos, I can't say how much I love watching them driving tractor and Sarah chopping hay. And Andrew is so smart on Agriculture, I would say he has been by your side for a few years. I would love to see them in more videos, what other tasks do they do on the farm?
Another awesome video.. great to see Sarah and Andy jr get some run time on the 9900. What a power plant that outfit has..WOW!!.. Dad looked pleased too. Thanks for finding the time to toss this video together.. well done!! Next chopping session you can turn Sarah loose to handle the chopping chores.. thinking she would look forward to that task.
I think it holds almost 400 gallons and I believe at full capacity it is running over 30 gallons of fuel per hour. At that capacity it's not the fuel per hour it's the tons per gallon.
Awesome video Andy! Awesome to see the demo of this new chopper. Would be awesome to see the new 9 series Combine harvester as a future demo unit. Love the new look of the 1100 Combine coming out.
Great video Andy. Loved it. Great shots of the 2 of them in the same footage. At least you know you can leave Sarah to it now. Your dad certainly wasn't hanging about. Put the machine through its paces
This is probably one of the best videos i've seen since I started watching your channel I thoroughly enjoyed it 2 nice machines getting the job done thank you for sharing as usual have a good one catch you next time
In my spare time at work I spend a fair amount time on various auction websites. Today was the first time I came across a forage harvester and wanted to know more about it. When I get home from work, boom here is a video on one.
I think it was great your daughter got some alone time in the chopper, That's the way they really learn! Also thought it was great that they both got to run the demo. Tell us about the first self propelled chopper you had. Back in the 70's we chopped corn with a single row Gehl with a 1650 Oliver gas , And we used S&H silage boxes. When I was JR's age dad started me out running that out fit. I'd been in furrow plowing and running the 1850 and digger before the chopper and there was very strict rules on the chopper like never leave the tractor if anything is moving on chopper. I think Sara and Andrew have lot's of skill's and potential,give them a atta boy for me!!
That new chopper has a Liebherr engine providing some very serious gees gees!! These engines are one of the best around being a Swiss company🇨🇭if anyone gets a chance to have a good look at one of these engines...you will appreciate the absolute quality to detail...
Sarah did Great loading that be herself. What do you mean, not too bad? Great video and family work. Nice to see and really proud of your son and daughters work ethic. Wonder where they got that, Dad? Good job.
I like it that Sarah said I dunno. And dad says you needed alone time huh. She says yah. With that much power I can see trucks having a real hard time in corn in the wet. Might have to use kinsy tracks to keep up.
Andrew is like buy it. The chopper sounded really smooth. The engine must be amazing because all you hear is chopper blades and header. Did it generate less dust? Guessing your choppers only last 4 to 5 years before they start to bankrupt you with repairs. Only thing you can chop faster than your trucks can keep up.
It's good to see Sarah pushing the Bub outta operators station....nothing like a healthy sibling rivalry to boost production. . . . Who is gonna sign the check for that new 9900 and will you keep both machines?
Nice video. They're not keen on that dry hay are they, look like they could plug pretty easy. Do they still gum up like the old ones did if its a hair dry? Haven't been around them for a few years.
You better watch out Andy your dad can still load truck like a boss between him and Sarah you’ll be doing more filming lol I had chopper is awesome can’t believe I can gobble pay that fast
Amazing video boss. Natural born commentator. Gotta ask; Do any of those John Deere experts ever notice the modifications you do to make their equipment usable and functional? Thank you for sharing the demo.
Must be some nervous times for the sales/territory guys. We never got to demo a chopper in hay always corn. 1 rock and things could end badly. As a claas farm I’d say it’s fitting they send a mechanic to keep the Deere moving

Riding in a AC cab haying kinda takes the fun out of haying back in the day had to run across the fields and throw the bails by hand🥵🥵 great video keep them coming
What kind of fun is that?? Not in the Gulf Coast of Texas LOL
You keep teaching your kids how to run the equipment and then you will have more hammock and coffee time. Great job.
Yes
I have commented before on how great it is to see the kids along side dad. It must have been a thrill for them to get to run a new machine. Great job dad.
Andy, hats off to you for teaching your children responsibility and hard work at such young ages. Very cool to see them help as much as they do in such a mature and professional manner.

Seeing the "family road trip" all squished into the cab brought back some great memories.
Enjoy these days Andy!!

I like to see Andrew run equipment! He the future farmer of America! Thanks again for sharing!!
Looks like a nice day. I would like to see it back when you chop corn. Glad to see your dad.
Great to see the kids also participating in the demo.That looks like excellent hay. Nice big fat windrows. Thanks for the video again Andy and family.
Great video, working with Sarah and Jr. The 9900 is some machine will get the job done. Thanks for the video.
🏴watching from Boat Of Garten in the Cairngorms Scotland ❤️your channel 👍
Awesome
Thanks for the ride along Andy, Impressive chopper. 👍
Hello Andy. Been watching all your videos. Liked and shared them all. Sorry for the lack of comments Sir. All my very best.
I think it holds almost 400 gallons and I believe at full capacity it is running over 30 gallons of fuel per hour. At that capacity it's not the fuel per hour it's the tons per gallon.
That's was awesome of the dealer to bring it out for you to demo. Good video Andy
Awesome video Andy! Awesome to see the demo of this new chopper. Would be awesome to see the new 9 series Combine harvester as a future demo unit. Love the new look of the 1100 Combine coming out.
Great awesome video, love those choppers , 9900 is a nice machine , also very expensive, there’s always pros and cons to every machine
Great video Andy. Loved it. Great shots of the 2 of them in the same footage. At least you know you can leave Sarah to it now. Your dad certainly wasn't hanging about. Put the machine through its paces
He was pushing pretty good
Great video and chopper. Greets from germany
This is probably one of the best videos i've seen since I started watching your channel I thoroughly enjoyed it 2 nice machines getting the job done thank you for sharing as usual have a good one catch you next time
I'm glad to hear that
Great video as always! Sara runs the chopper like a pro wont be long and that will be one less job ya have to do! Keep up the good work
In my spare time at work I spend a fair amount time on various auction websites. Today was the first time I came across a forage harvester and wanted to know more about it. When I get home from work, boom here is a video on one.
Awesome
Really nice machine. Got to hear Sarah talk a little bit. Need to put Sarah in a chopper and do a Facebook live from the chopper.
Brilliant video mate, geez that thing has got an appetite 👍👍🚜🚜💨
Great video Andy

It's awesome to see your patience with the kids!!!
Hi Andy Andrew and Sara seems keen to run the demo great to see your dad watching from north east of England county Durham
Great kids you have there Andrew ! Thumbs up.
great video all great to see the younger generation having a go thanks for the video
That new chopper has a Liebherr engine providing some very serious gees gees!! These engines are one of the best around being a Swiss company🇨🇭if anyone gets a chance to have a good look at one of these engines...you will appreciate the absolute quality to detail...
Jason Riseborough actually Liebherr was founded in Germany so it’s a German company, but has its headquarter in Bulle Switzerland. Just saying ;)
TY for FEEDing US!
God Bless ~
That ol K whap sounds good! Great job
Ye kany beat the bark from a chopper under load 👍,, keep it chappin, Rab from Scotland 🏴🏴
Sarah did Great loading that be herself. What do you mean, not too bad? Great video and family work. Nice to see and really proud of your son and daughters work ethic. Wonder where they got that, Dad? Good job.
Great video Andy! Thanks for sharing!
funny to see that all big and small dealer brands use the big RUclips channels to advertise by borrowing you demo machines. I love it
Gotta do what you gotta do
Really stacking it on the truck drivers today. Hustle, hustle
Thanks for sharing Andy, jealous for sure. Got to demo a 8400 in corn few years ago.
Neat to see both choppers next to each other
Good vid Andy as always... heavy duty choppin right there I say. And it's been beautiful out the last couple days down here in Ky
What a beautiful machine. Time for a upgrade!
She is a beast!!! Beautiful Chopper!!!
Sarah did give you a answer but I don't blame her if she wanted more time to run it 👍👍🇺🇸
You should be a very proud papa and you’re wife too you’re kids are great.
Hey
Andy love the 8700
I love the sound of the chopper
i see sara is a tool fan.... same here... awesome
thank you andy for making these vids
Sarah and jr getting after it like pros
Alone time with the chopper? You need that to get to know it, don't you? That is a beast of a chopper--wow!
Hey! Your father spills more than you do Andy! Great drone footage as usual. -Ed.
Lol
Awesome video Andy 🚜🌽👍
Nice video!!! Big power going through the field
Jr. & Sara ran that 9900 like a "Boss"
yes nice to see children out like 70 year ago here in uk get on with the job
Soooo cool can’t wait to watch!
I like it that Sarah said I dunno. And dad says you needed alone time huh. She says yah. With that much power I can see trucks having a real hard time in corn in the wet. Might have to use kinsy tracks to keep up.
Yes corn would be a hassle
Would love to have a good run in one but i can tell you now i wouldn't love paying for one all the same lol
Great video mate as always.
Nice,, you have the most impressive channel, so cool
I enjoyed the video! Need a sideboard on those trucks!
been busy making hay so im catching up with videos but i thout it was nice to your dad in a video now maybe the brothers
Thanks for the video andrew
The 9900 is awsome in the corn with a 12 row head don't take long to load a 36ft trailer.
I bet
Nice drone tree action. :) I almost had the same thing happen to me the other day.
That was a close one
sarah seems to do a much much much better job at keeping it in the truck
You keep teaching those two how to do your jobs what will you do? Great to see them both want to help!
We are all replaceable
Nice video! I would love try it out too. Maybe some day our dealer will have one for demo.
It’s been great weather for hay but corn and beans need some rain pretty soon might not be much for second cutting either if it doesn’t rain soon
Hopefully by weeks end
amazing machine
Hi Andy! Looks like your a very busy man!
Somedays, yes
Jesus you’d need shares with esso for that thing. Nice buggy. Let er eat 🇨🇦
The other chopper was slowing down a lot but this JD got it goin
Looks like a beast for sure
Andrew is like buy it. The chopper sounded really smooth. The engine must be amazing because all you hear is chopper blades and header. Did it generate less dust? Guessing your choppers only last 4 to 5 years before they start to bankrupt you with repairs. Only thing you can chop faster than your trucks can keep up.
No real difference in dust
It's good to see Sarah pushing the Bub outta operators station....nothing like a healthy sibling rivalry to boost production. . . . Who is gonna sign the check for that new 9900 and will you keep both machines?
We aren't buying anything
Thanks for the video, maybe your next chopper ? 😉
Who’s driving the truck for your dad? Bet they were nervous hauling for the big boss man. I actually bet he’s pretty laid back.
I think he filled every truck
That 9900 has GUTS:) a lot more than my 6850:)
Nice video. They're not keen on that dry hay are they, look like they could plug pretty easy.
Do they still gum up like the old ones did if its a hair dry? Haven't been around them for a few years.
They handle it pretty good
You better watch out Andy your dad can still load truck like a boss between him and Sarah you’ll be doing more filming lol I had chopper is awesome can’t believe I can gobble pay that fast
Sorry about messed up word auto texting
Great to see your kids a interested, and involved. Quite a machine, imagine the price tag is too.
Good gravy, 1000 HP V12 JD. Curious the price of the oil change....and how many Gallons of engine oil?? Lol
Liebherr engine
Pretty country Dry weather helps. Compared to last year
Another great video .
Very very expensive but awesome machines
Amazing video boss. Natural born commentator.
Gotta ask; Do any of those John Deere experts ever notice the modifications you do to make their equipment usable and functional?
Thank you for sharing the demo.
I think they are aware
Must be some nervous times for the sales/territory guys. We never got to demo a chopper in hay always corn. 1 rock and things could end badly. As a claas farm I’d say it’s fitting they send a mechanic to keep the Deere moving
It was the first that it had chopped anything, mechanic was there for adjustments. Active fill camera and stuff like that.
