    It's a pleasure to watch these videos takes me back to young boy time. Neighbors worked together as a team to get each other's silage cut. Was wagons to begin with then pulled farm truck back wards then dump wagons to semis lived it all and always liked it as the combine harvest as well.

    I’m amazed at the size of these dairy units in the US. I was brought up and worked on the family 80 cow dairy unit in the UK until I was 24. Great videos you publish Mike and thank you for a look into the impressive US dairy industry.

    Yes, I did notice those birds. Great stuff, as always, and I do love these corn silage things. As the year draws to an end one reflects on things past, and I remember when you passed 1000 subs about a couple of months after I started watching you. Hope you and your family have a safe and great forthcoming 2019.

    Beautiful video. I get a big smile on my face when I see and hear all the machines. I was wondering about the forage harvesters spout. They can recognize the trailer automatically? How does it work? A big thankyou to you for all the work you put in to make these awsome videos.

    As always, great video from Mike! Does anybody knows what is that white thing on tarp covering old silage, with tires? Is that just a color of tarp or something else? If it was winter, I would assume it is a snow.

    Looks like the Claus moves faster than Deere.
    Deere has two extra rows but it appears a ten row head may actually be better.
    Claus makes a mean machine.

After that we learned to tie the lever on the valve with a plastic tie

    @charleslloyd1683 4 роки тому

    Watching the drone footage I noticed quite a bit of over shoot from the Class harvester. And not near as much with the Deere harvester. Then ground shots directly from behind with more bounce in the offload auger on the Claas than the Deere. Is it the shoot, suspension, tire size and inflation? Or some or all of above.

  • @chunkmen
    @chunkmen 5 років тому +1

    I wonder why they wouldnt upgrade the header on the claas. I know for sure that the claas has more horsepower and it has a better drive system. I believe they can go to a twelve or sixteen row header(pushing it) and still maintain speeda

    • @geoffreyhoving9324
      @geoffreyhoving9324 5 років тому +2

      chunkmen Theres No such thing as a 16 row silage head. Claas makes a 6, 8. 10 and 12 row. I’d pick the 10 row for a 970 any day. The 12 row is 35 grand more than the 10. Rather drive 20% faster, you’ll do the same T/hour and these guys most likely get paid by the ton. So money the their pocket really.
      On top of that, your travel speed with 12 row goes from 40km/hour to 25 due to the wait of the header.

    Hello have a good day mister Mike!I've got one question to you.Those big trucks which are loaded by the corn chopper,how many cubic meter of chopped corn are able to carry?My estimation is about 100 cubic meter,but of course I suppose you know something more about that!Thank you for your attention,and I hope,I will get your answer soon from you.Furthermore I wish you have a good day from Hungary!

    Hello Mike. Question, watching these combines in the way they cut the corn stocks swirling around the way they do. It's almost hypnotic. Does it have any effect on the driver watching that all day? I don't know much about farming... All I know is what I learned from the Mike Bloomsburg School of Farming.

  • @brendamoldenhauer4955
    @brendamoldenhauer4955 2 роки тому

    The Claas is going faster but has a smaller head,it also has more horsepower than the John Deere. The John Deere is going a bit slower, has a larger head, and has less horsepower. Claas makes a good machine but I have to go with John Deere here. But I'm a New Holland fan myself. I see a lot of them up here in Wisconsin.

  • @nomerc3608
    @nomerc3608 5 років тому

    The new Deere choppers have the new technology to set up on the trucks and the chopper operator controls the truck and they are self loading... there’s a few videos out there of an eight year old running his dad’s chopper and it doesn’t have the technology I just spoke of... It’s something watch an eight year old running an almost million dollar machine!

    Mike, that Claas looks to me that it outclassed that JD, it sounds like it is hardly being pushed and it has power to spare, one mean machine. Your intro of the dairy looked like a catering hall, but I guess if your a cow you'ld have your wedding there. Worked a summer on a family farm, 40 girls, tail to tail in the barn, I was the master of the pitch fork & shovel.

    I'm glad I finally looked up how these industrial sized lawn mowers work. Pretty nifty toys.
    Which is better? Don't know, don't use them but they all are using the same basic technology. Who makes a more reliable package I guess is what experience would tell. I did hear elsewhere that John Deere is being called under fire for keeping their software near and deer to their hearts. And after telling farmers they would release the information on their equipment so they could service their own equipment or through third parties, they have sandbagged.
    So whoever is best, John Deere gets a no vote of confidence for yanking the farmers around. Boo..........
