The W9 sounds great and it looks good pulling the new trailer. Good video Andy I think Jr. done a great job getting the sound of those pipes on video. Great job keep them coming.
I love chopping just like any other American but my god that is one sexy semi!!!!!!! If the straight pipes aren’t enough for you then just check out those floatation tires! That’s awesome. See those in oil fields but haven’t seen them on a tractor semi before.
Thanks andy . Really enjoyed the ride through the door yard. Reminds me of my youth on my family’s farm but on a much much larger scale seeing the barns and all the equipment.
Great video andy. That w9 and trailer sure are nice. That trailer should help when you are hauling a good distance from the farm. Didn't think you had any orange on the farm but i spied a Kubota skidsteer by the shop.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating i think you will like it. We have a ssv65 wheeled one absolutely love it great machine only part i dislike is the regen but i dislike that on all these new diesels. They just traded out our prob 20yr old bobcat 753 for a new deere 318g I'm not so fond of the joystick controls yet but getting used to them more
Greetings from Australia, man nice set up wish we could cut corn on the farm, wrong climate though but if we did wed be pulling at least 2 trailers at once for silage....😁😁with kennys or mack love the sound of the w900 real nice👌👌
All the best with the rest of the season Andrew, we finished seeding about 3 weeks ago, wheat, barley, conola, lupins(soybeans) and oats....atm just spreading urea and spraying and doing a bit of fab work
The choppers are always cool but man that is one nice hauling rig. I really like the color scheme and it looks like it works well. Is that 29 tons weighed, or off the chopper HarvestLab? I wouldn't think a trailer that length could possibly hold that much, but I realize it is a really tall trailer. Nice rig. In my opinion, those floater tires are the only way to go on one of those trucks and even the trailers. Custom guy who hauled manure for us for a few years ran a vintage Kay-Dub with the ol' Detroit 2-cycle and a 5k gallon tank on those same wheels and tires, and it made an enormous difference for him in these hills. (And you could here that Detroit for a mile+ away!) And a custom chopping crew ran a pair of semis with Meyer Boss trailers with those tires all the way around, and it was amazing to see how well they could get around vs dual truck tires. Keep up the good work.
I have a custom harvester neighbor. They use Claas choppers. They run 6 with 3 in each field. I think they are 950 hp v12 Mercedes. They run about 10-12 semis in each field. I have not seen a Bobtail truck around here in more than 10 year because the labor it to much to use a small truck.
Seems like there would be a lot of compaction with the trucks making numerous passes up and down the field? Maybe this is OK? I do see that there are flotation type tires on the rear tandems on the tractors/trucks.
Wow that trailer is a beast not to mention the tires on that Kenny wow 130 + cubic yards at a time it's a torque monster I don't think he ever broke 1900
I agree but can't imagine how many bags we would need. That's a lot of plastic to throw away and it's a lot of gravel that would be going through the mixer.
I'm not convinced that bags are necessarily better than bunkers. We do both. They each have advantages and disadvantages. We alway hire the Ag-Bag brand bagger, and we're usually satisfied with the results, but rarely amazed. I can't stand to read articles from the Ag-Bag brand sales guys in prominent national publications: they're so heavily biased, comparing best-case bag scenarios to what sounds like worst-case bunker scenarios, which not only isn't a fair comparison, but is actually a worthless comparison. I strongly doubt their dry matter recovery claims, for one simple reason: the independent studies I've seen always show higher losses than they claim, with some occasional extreme losses. And when they start talking about sealed bags eliminating storage losses, forget it: fermentation requires energy, which is derived from the stored plant matter, and no system can escape this basic reality. I just don't trust their info when they start talking up impossibilities. We've had significant mold issues in bags even with really good inoculants in situations where silage was a little dry, due to poor packing along the top and upper sides in the bag, and while it can happen in a bunker too, at least it's easier to control the packing. Bags are easier going in -- but the east coast is mostly temperate, meaning we get significant rain at times, and feeding out of them on dirt makes an awful muddy mess, especially in the winter. Our neighbors bag everything and their feed yard is a frickin' swamp about 4-5 months of the year (and you can barely see paint on the loader tractors for all the mud). Feed-out of a concrete-floored bunker, on the other hand, is always clean, rain or shine, with no chance of picking up mud. Or gravel, as Andy mentioned, which you'd have to use to combat mud, and which is an absolute pain to load off of -- we've done it, and I absolutely hated it. Like he said, we got gravel in the feed, no matter how careful we were. They have a really nice looking bunker setup, and it looks like they manage it well. In their scenario I think bags would be a step in the wrong direction. That being said, bags do have a few advantages. It's possible to easily segregate feeds or even fields, and because of this they make for a very flexible feeding system. And bags pack and seal simultaneously which would greatly minimize oxidation during harvest vs a bunker, as well as eliminating an awful lot of hard labor to cover bunkers. I think it's a matter of a farm's typical climate and setup. I have friends in western Kansas that get excited over a heavy mist, and bagging on plain dirt probably works for them. I'd want a huge asphalt pad with concrete aprons to bag all of ours -- and that would probably be more expensive than using bunkers exclusively. A well-managed bunker can be a great way of storing feed. A well-managed bag can also be a great way. That's the catch: *well managed*. Poor management can ruin either way equally well.
@@FarmingFixingFabricating Is that easier for dairy feeding then say a roll of hay? I did some reading and everything says silage is fermented hay. I'm from Montana and biggest thing you don't want is your hay fermenting. I see they do this type operation a lot in europe as well, Oh well that's a sharp looking new trailer you have there and really liked the traction tires you had on your semi tractor.
Heyyyyyy, how you do'in on that family farm today? Or is it a family corporation? Funded by taxpayers - distributed by Republicans. Heeyyyyyy, how ya do'in today? Burning up carbon based fuels hauling all over the country? Heeyyyyy, Mr. Farmer, how much capital do you have? Any of that equipment actually yours? Or all the banks? Do you personally have a pot to urinate or is does it all belong to the banks and indirectly the Republicans who are enslaving you? Heeeyyyyyy, Mr. Farmer!
Man it just seems like yesterday you were in the field pulling tractors, spreaders Or trucks out of muddy snow filled fields. Now here your are pulling up silage 👍
No better sound than a CAT motor with straight pipes Andrew. But 29 tons of silage is good load. What's that compare to you're other trailer for tonage
Thank you for the comment. I had some help on this one. Jered my oldest son driving,my daughter Alex videoing and my youngest son Andrew videoing out the window
When I watched the video that you bought the trailer I was wondering what you would pull it with. IThis is the 1st time I seen that you have a semi with AG tires on it. Man ill tell ya you got a bunch of cool equipment.
Those drives sure look like they will do the trick. Watching the new trailer being filled I kept thinking is it ever going to get full 28 29 ton that is a good load.
mikep7810 it works nice,back in the day we filled silo with self unloading forage wagons and all I did was work on them.I told myself never again will I ever go back to a chain drag,well here we are again.
I've seen that axle spacing on the drives of a International dump truck once and on a few different trailers but not many. I heard it referred to as a "Canadian spread". Anyone else hear that before or know if that's right? Nice looking trailer that's for sure. Definitely stout and fast unloading. Thanks for the great videos!
Great looking trailer. Did you have to stop chopping because the field was too wet or the hay was too wet, probably both as hard as it was raining. Can hay be too wet to chop because of rain? Thank you for today's video
The W 9 and that trailer is a good looking rig ! Moves a lot of product for you ? How does the W 9 ride with those field tread flotation tires on the pavement ?
You guys should really load the trailers on the front first to give the truck some traction the Western Star we put on our Meyers is terrible in mud but this technique has saved us many times
We did start in the front,I like to finish in the front to then when full the chopper has the length of the trailer to clean out and there truck doesn't have to stop.
Farming Fixing & Fabricating yeah I noticed that I wrote this at the beginning of the video when you were in the chopper but quick question if you guys have the carts why load trucks direct for a trailer that size it could take two carts easy maybe even a third. Anyways love the content keep it up
@@jaydenc27 we were using the dump cart where it was wet. We only have 2 dump cart and it would take 4 to keep up to the chopper. It's just faster chopping direct.
Farming Fixing & Fabricating yeah that’s the reason we only have 960 Class’s we also run two Byron carts that can usually keep up with the chopper pretty good but do you guys have any sort of truck pusher pr do you guys just pull them all out

Hi Andy do you use an inoculate when it rains. Well ware on new trailer.
We use inoculant on everything
What do you think of tiger woods and the raptors. Lol
Not sure
That would be good for hauling ddgs too
where do you get the tractor type tyres on the truck for the flotation name brand a dealer if possible please
Alliance 700/40 R22.5 tractor treads are model 331
thanks much appreciated
You should be bagging your silage. Makes much better feed especially for dairy cows. We are out of Garden City Ks! High Plains Silage!
