    Andy "aTrippyFarmer" Dole is a 6th generation farmer from Central Illinois. On this farm, Andy works alongside his father, Marty, his uncles, Chris and Jeff, and his sister, Katie, to grow corn and soybeans on some of the finest dirt in the world. Andy and his family are deeply rooted in the area, operating a large farm that traces it origins back into the 1800s. Although some tracts did not stand the test of time, Andy and his family still grow corn and soybeans on fields that have been in the family for longer than even the oldest members of the farm have been alive. We do, we have, and we always will take tremendous pride in calling this piece of paradise our home. Andy was a Bronze Tablet graduate of the University of Illinois in the field of Crop Sciences, following the same path as his father and late grandfather.
    It would be misleading for Andy to claim that this life is one that came by chance; rather, as a member of two multi-generational farm families, it was simply in his blood. His passion for agriculture traces back to his early youth--some of his fondest, earliest memories being of days spent riding in the combine with his father and grandfather. Although his understanding of the lifestyle was much less complex in the beginning, the love he has for farming, and its industry has only appreciated through time. As this dream blossomed into adulthood, Andy now works relentlessly, and tirelessly, to chase his own dreams and to build a farming operation of his own alongside his family.
    We, as a whole operation, are handymen, electricians, mechanics, landscapers, accountants, economists, caretakers, stewards, and, most importantly, farmers, and we take an incredible amount of pride in our work. There is no challenge too overwhelming, no situation too stressful, and no problem too difficult for us to take on, and we want to take you along with us. Welcome to our farm and welcome to our lives. You have the best seat in the house to watch the everyday chaos of farming unfold--we usually only get concerned when things aren't going wrong!

    Growing up, we had Massey Ferguson tractors. Similar reasons: the dealer was fairly close, they did a great job supporting us, the price for us was cheaper than other brands. Years later, we are mostly JD because most other dealers are 50+ miles away.

    I am aware I am writing this months after the videos realease but I want to put out the situation smaller farms like us are in. We run late 90s equipment before technology was intergrated into the equipment. For us this makes it really easy to run different brand equipment (a case 7250 on a johndeere 7200 planter). Now for us to get into guidance systems is confusing. We could spend the money and go all out John Deere but to do this it would cost more than two of our tractors combined. For us it makes more sence to run systems like agleader because of the price even though it is less ideal compared to John Deere. Additionally, even with we went to a John Deere system, none of our John Deere equipment is set up to run this technology even though they where made by the same brand. For example our 7200 series planter can not run prescription maps because it does not have electric drive. With this we would be spending the money on the technology to make simple guidelines that we could do with a out of date off brand company. Thanks for bearing with me and my bad spelling😂 it’s a complicated topic for a 14 year old.

    Was a day late to watch this but good explanation on the brands of equipment. From what I can tell here in saskatchewan, we do have quite a bit of john deere dealerships but in my area I'm starting to see alot of claas lexions and fendt ideals(and some case) combines more often. From what I've researched alot of that goes with the prices due to Canadian prices being so expensive as combines generally range from 800k to 1.3 mil. One thing I see is there is generally alot more john deere tractors and I imagine cause they are pretty reliable. And even I agree john deere do look quite nice. When it comes to seeding tractors, I generally see just the case steigers or john deere 9 series', due to the good horsepower they have and what u need to pull air seeders.
    Anyways awesome video and keep up the awesome vids!

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  Před rokem +2

      Thanks for the great comment. I think the Claas and Fendt are much more tempting to farmers that are looking for change. They are stylish, powerful, and innovative machines. Deere does all of the same, but there’s not as much attraction to something that you’ve always ran. It’ll be interesting to see if these farms stick with the other brands or if they come back home to case and Deere.

    I do love the old Internationals. They were always way ahead of Deere. In the 70’s they had true rotor combines and proper MFWD. Their are all kinds of sleepers out there. Ford, White etc…
    Also, I have Deere dealers all around me. That support is priceless.

      It’s crazy to see the resale value in the current market. We sold a 2013 tractor for 30% more than what we paid for it. The only catch is that we bought a replacement tractor that was 80% more new than the old one. There is definitely some funky math going on in the current marketplace.
      I am a big fan of other tractors. It is just hard to sneak them into the rotation to even attempt to try.

Might make more difference when buying new and trading but buying used and trading the spread has tightened over the years.

The Ford broke down frequently. The Allis-Chalmers was a piece of junk and a constant headache.

    I'd have to agree, the Greenstar system or the John Deere planting/guidance is seriously top notch and to switch from something so refined is a downgrade to say the least. The bottom line is JD and CNH are always going to hold the lions share of the AG industry here in the US.

    Not Ag Pro (John Deere Dealer network). If I was all John Deere, I would switch to all fendt or case immediately if I wasn’t red already. Ag Pro’s dealer network bought up all of the family owned dealerships and now doesn’t even stock the most common parts and either tells me to drive to another dealership or wait until the next few days for them to get the part. Absolutely disappointing and frustrating. I will do anything to stay away from them, not because of Deere, but because of Ag Pro

    • @aTrippyFarmer

      I’ve heard stories like that with all of these dealerships merging and getting bought out. Our local dealership only has 4 stores, and we are lucky to deal with the main one. I have also worked with Sloan’s, which is a fairly large group of stores now. I’ve had good experiences with them as well. I think it all comes down to the management and leadership. It sucks for farmers like you, though, to get a bad dealership out of the deal. That’s exactly the point I was making about service and parts. Hope spring goes well for you!!

    Hi from oz Andy. JD does have good gear but not the best of everything. I found fendt are the best tractors still even though owned by agco. When still independent company that only made tractors they ruled the world for quality, reliability, resale , fuel efficiency etc. that proven by biggest farming magazines from UK, France and Germany when they tested lot of tractors of same size every year. For fodder conservation gear Europe is 10 years ahead of USA and Krone balers run rings aroun everything else on the market.

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  Před rokem

      I agree with your points! There is no simple choice for the best product in every industry. I do think that Fendt’s would dominate the tractor marketplace if they could break the chokehold that Deere has in the United States.

    Made me laugh to see we went aren't the only ones that's been pumping up the tyre on the gator for the last year!! What do u think about the price of buying, running and repairing a gator. Ours was full cab with proper doors not glass, heaters extra LED lights. One light that new now is £30.000 in Wales UK!!! For a glorified golf buggy!! We found it crap in wet ground. We sold ours n bought twin cab pickup few year old 20.000miles heated seat sat nav and saved a small fortune. When we bought our first ATV ( mule ) around 15years ago I wanna say it was about £6.000. if u parked the mule and gator side by side ye the gators abit more luxurious but £14.000 difference!!! Ridiculous! Anyway keep up the good work, would love to come and experience your farms over there. We have a big tractor for round here but small compared to your John deeres lol

    • @aTrippyFarmer
      @aTrippyFarmer  Před rokem

      I have mixed feelings about the gator. This one is nearly 10 years old, so I am sure that they’ve gotten better. It has some flaws and reliability issues that bother me, but it always gets the job done. If I were doing it again, I would probably go with a Polaris UTV of some sort. Everything is expensive now. I’m sure this gator would be pushing 20-25,000, but the same could be said about every other brand.
