- Chopping 2nd cutting alfalfa for haylage to be stored in our sealstor silo on our upstate New York dairy farm. Chopping with a John Deere 4555 pulling a New Holland FP240 forage harvester. #farming #dairyfarm #forage #alfalfa #equipment #silo
I love hearing the tractor sing pulling the chopper! Those NH choppers make their own music...
Its definitely a great sound
Tractor running music to my ears 👍🏾 thanks for the great video Mike.
Thanks Clint. Its a great sound indeed
Getting some help from farm kids is a great thing it just dawned on me that silage is kind of like sauerkraut. Not as wet and on a larger scale. No wonder cattle love it!
Its great to have my little guy out there helping. He is turning into a pretty good farm hand
@@mikep7810 The farm is where kids often learn real work ethics.
Luckily for you , you are of a slim build , having to squeeze between the tractor rear wheels otherwise it would be dangerous climbing over PTO shafts. You are making excellent videos as always, even after the family changes. Thank for being so committed.
Thank you James. I'm glad you enjoy them
I'm glad you're tractors are working properly again (Yes, I didn't know how to write that) Thanks for the video!
Always a plus to have things working like they should
Hey Mike. Good video. I really like the chopping videos. Hope yall got some rain. We are dry as a powder house in N. Alabama. We need several days of good slow steady rain. Plus it's gonna be triple digits here the next few days to boot. Take care buddy👍
Thanks Kevin. Its been really dry here too. We got a little rain but not much which I'm not complaining about because north of us got hammered with bad flooding. We have some more rain in the forecast this week so the crops can get a drink
Hi Mike I am so busy all the time sure maybe I can watch you later tomorrow if you want me to or not oh ok thanks and good morning I will see you in the morning oh ok ❤
Hello. I'm glad you enjoy the videos
@@mikep7810 I'm not watching you video at the moment I watch a video probably tonight if you want me to watch it tonight or not okay
@@codymccauly349 sounds good
@@mikep7810 I can watch you video around 8:00 tonight sidewalk or not
Nice vid sir.. glad your back to your system of work with the tractors in the right places 😊.. You lost some weight? Might of been just sweating it off... 😊.. bet you were tempted to bale and wrap it.. stay safe 🏴
Thank you Ian. I have dropped a few lbs. The heat has definitely kicked my butt this summer. I try to keep drinking as much water as possible
Great video I miss the smell of fresh cut hay.
It's a great smell indeed
How is the second cutting hay doing .Just wanted to say thank you for answering my comment no one else does
The 2nd cutting did very well. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and comment
Hi Mike, p on the farm 🚜
Hello Amanda
You are welcome mike p
Hope yall got the rain you needed.
Thank you
Great video Mike i love the drone shots . What brand of alfalfa is that if you don't mind me asking it looks like garst from Canada I used it . I liked it a lot of leaves
Thanks Paul. Its Pioneer. My dad is a pioneer salesman
good looking 2nd crop
Thank you Dana
Hay looked so good , can smell it through the video! Lol
Haha thanks Jerry, good thing I wasn't hauling manure!
Hi mike greeting from burley Idaho 🚜✌️💪
Hi Carlos
Nice to get back to normal. We had a lot of first cutting that went all in to the barn as square bales. We made 52 round bales trying that out . I think were going to put 2500 small squares of second cutting into the haymow and then all the rest goes in the silo. That worked out pretty good for us last year so were doing it that way again. You said your brother is off the farm now. But if in a pinch when a rain is coming does he have time to help a little? Gotta say by the end of the day you looked beat. (No offense).
What moisture level does the material have to be to go “up” the silo blower?
We like keeping it around 50-55% and that goes up the pipe well
Does a pull behind chopper have any sensors for metal and things like a self-propelled one does?
Most larger pull type harvesters have sensors in to detect metal foreign objects
Yes this chopper does have a metal alter on it
I watch a lot of farming videos, and play a lot of FarmSimulator on my iPad, so you can say I’m pretty much a farmer too.
You’re doing it wrong
Haha I can't wait till next spring when you give me crap about going no-till!
@@mikep7810 i already beat you to it 😂
Whew! Long day. You’re looking a tad bit toasty and worn out at the end there.
Yeah, these long 90+ degree days are hitting me
@@mikep7810 We had a power outage, 88°, a million % humidity, and I spent most of it either lugging small generators around or yanking the pull starter on one that didn’t start, plus carrying coolers up and down stairs between fridge/freezers and bags of ice. But that doesn’t hold a candle to the work you farmers do. As they used to say on Hee Haw, “Salute!”
