Looks like quite the operation and that Quad on those side slopes of the pile....Forget it. Mike, you are quickly becoming my favorite TV show. This episode was very exciting! Great Video as always!
This is so much better than paying for a subscription to FarmFlix where the owner/creator John McDeere brags about high quality production on his videos. This right here is high quality production for free. Well done Mike!
I always love the corn chopping season. Dad used to do custom chopping out in Eastern Washington State in the mid seventies. We had a 4020 and 4520 John Deere pulling two John Deere #38 Two row choppers and a John Deere 3 row self propelled. One farmer had 12 160 acres irrigation circles in silage and we had to ship it 82 miles to a feed lot down in Wallulla Washington at an IBP Feed lot. We had 62 trucks hired for that haul back then. All were single and tandem axle farm trucks. No big Road tractors and trailers like now days.. We chopped over 240,000 tons that year over the entire 90 day season. Good memories. We started 60 miles north of home and followed the frost line south almost a 100 miles to finish the season. We chopped 92 days that year. It was 1975.
Mike, your videos are fantastic, I have them on even in the background when I’m working in the office. There’s something incredibly calming about them. Superb work!
Love your music accompaniment Mike, the right tone and ambiance, suits the video. As always, professionally shot video quality with the right amount of info from you, thanks
What a nice operation this family farm has! Impressive! Mike you hit it out of the park again! Great footage from every aspect you can think of. Thanks Mike!! 👍🏻👌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Mike, I love you’re videos. Thanks for the advice about Walls clothing, I bought 2 pair of Ditchdigger pants and I LOVE them👍👍👍 I will only buy Walls from now on......
What would compact that down is what I called a compactor. It is a sheep foot with a blade to push. I have seen them use in a garbage dump and coal storage. I never seen Corn Silage because in this are use a grass silage. They roll it like a round bale and plastic rap it for cooking. But this area is small family farms.
Ive seen the sheep foot rollers used on silage and have some on video. If you search for any of my Chopping Corn Silage at Convoy Dairy farm you will see one inn action on the pile.
So glad you’re videos are back. Best harvest coverage on UA-cam. Big tractor power is definitely my solid 2nd though. Any how Mike, wondered how they work off the center of the silage pile being so high and still keep the rest covered? Thanks again and can’t wait for more. Bob in Pennsylvania
Awesome Video! If I had known you were so close i would have come out for an Autograph Mike. I live just south of that farm. We used to do target practice at the old farm house in the middle of the field when my friend owned the house.
love your videos mike how about getting some footage on the older massey ferguson 1100 sierres tractors i think they were the nicest tractors around at the time
On the debate between tracks and duals for silage compaction, I’m wondering if a nice wide 1400 LSW would be a great compromise. Nice and wide for a smooth finish and much cheaper than tracks. Does anyone run a setup like that?
My neighbor uses an excavator on his pile with a big ditching bucket. He can pull siledge anywhere he wants to, as high as he wants to. And they don't make a tractor that will pack harder then metal tracks will!!
How do they get the silage down from the tall pile - just let the big chunks fall on the loader as hang out? It seems like that would be pretty rough on the loader. Very nice job on the video but we should have had the shot of him finishing up the field - he was so close!
Hi . Mike I would like to see there planter some time . Never heard of 15 inch corn before . I have seen 20 inch double roles . Thanks for the great video. Peace and love from Wisconsin.
aint no difrent then using those dual wheel tractors i never drove a trac but would loved one when packing specially on last pas making a nice air tight seal on last pass over .nothing more annoying then getting a nice pack and saying lets go over one more time and seeing your single front wheel sink down and crack the top surface of pack about 6 inches down "damn i should of stopped" also im willing to bet much safer going with taller steeper piles with whats it called when they bend in the middle like that one does? nothing like the time i rolled our cab ford over on its top when pile got to steep and rear tires spun oh and thats another thing less chance of tire spin on pile with a trac

I find it amazing that the walls can withstand the pressure of the silage along with the quad track driving so close by.
I love your programs to do with wheat,corn and etc. Please keep up the good work.
Amazing control with that chopper spout. Thanks mike
Nothing better than watching that Mike Less Guy on UA-cam. Once again thank you Mr. Less for sharing.😁
Hard to argue with a farm hand when his name is Mike Less about, his video's.
Keep up the good work Mike.
Thanks Scruffy. You've been a loyal fan for a while.
Great to see the family farm getting publicity. Great video mike! Thanks for coming to suffield!
You bet!
It always amazes me how fast they can cut and chop that silage. Great video, thanks.
I like that turbo on the 435 case pushing silage
Smell vision would be the ultimate on this video. I can only imagine.
Mike, your videos are fantastic, I have them on even in the background when I’m working in the office. There’s something incredibly calming about them. Superb work!
Glad you like them!

Great vlog, amazing production from the claas 960, and obviously a high quality stack being completed, thanks
Very great 👍 video on the farm 🚜
Well Mike I Got To Say This Was The Best Video On Farm Machinery I Have Ever Seen Thank You Very Much Mike From England UK .
Chris Wheeler Thanks
Gotta feed them cows.... That Claas is a wicked machine. Looked at one at the Southeast expo one year.
Another great video! Love the longer ones. Mike thanks for bringing us these amazing videos.
Güzel çiftlik, güzel ekipmanlar ve güzel bir video ve mısır silajı hazırlama videosu
👍 Mike 👏👏👏
Nice Fendt counterweight in the quickhitch.
Great video Mike! I ask my 2 yr old every night who he wants to watch on UA-cam before bed and every night he says Farmhand Mike!! Great content!
What a nice operation this family farm has! Impressive! Mike you hit it out of the park again! Great footage from every aspect you can think of. Thanks Mike!! 👍🏻👌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
beautiful video with a lot of horsepower. Thanks for sharing
That’s a huge pile of silage! That harvester can really fill the wagons and truck quick.
Wow!!! That’s some operation. Thank you for sharing 👍
That's a big silage pile👍😉 corn chopping time is always great😁👍
Great video again👍
At least this congress actually works! Lol.. Great video usual mike!
Mike, I love you’re videos. Thanks for the advice about Walls clothing, I bought 2 pair of Ditchdigger pants and I LOVE them👍👍👍 I will only buy Walls from now on......
Thanks for another great video. Pick On.
great video again Mike
Pretty cool. 50 minutes of "Silage" The movie.
best corn silage vid by far , nice work
Love watching Klaas harvesters eat corn. Unbelievable.
What would compact that down is what I called a compactor. It is a sheep foot with a blade to push. I have seen them use in a garbage dump and coal storage. I never seen Corn Silage because in this are use a grass silage. They roll it like a round bale and plastic rap it for cooking. But this area is small family farms.
Ive seen the sheep foot rollers used on silage and have some on video. If you search for any of my Chopping Corn Silage at Convoy Dairy farm you will see one inn action on the pile.
Around 47 to 49 looks like a lot of corn gets blasted out of the cart and back onto the ground.
a straight pipe farmall 230 without tires pulling an amish buggy full of rocks. that's how you get the air out of the pile right there.
Another terrific movie
So glad you’re videos are back. Best harvest coverage on UA-cam. Big tractor power is definitely my solid 2nd though. Any how Mike, wondered how they work off the center of the silage pile being so high and still keep the rest covered? Thanks again and can’t wait for more. Bob in Pennsylvania

How close do you live? I live a mile south
@@NorthEastOhio i am down near Applegrove and Market
Ok
i love your silage videos great job!
Glad you like them!
That was a brave piece of camerawork 24:20!
Hello! Amazing 15" corn silage!
It sure is!
love your videos mike how about getting some footage on the older massey ferguson 1100 sierres tractors i think they were the nicest tractors around at the time
Some very neat steering reversing off that pile 8:45.
Excellent video
Hey mike, any jdea why there was that one patch that was super low compared to the rest of the field? At 4:08
Awesome equipment :)

amish buggy full of field stones. I'll wait...
Do you think a sheeps foot works as good packing silage or the wheels or tracks .
Rufeners I take feed there quite the operation you should get they're 4455 2wd open station on video sometime
Top video!
Thanks!
How do they get the silage down from the tall pile - just let the big chunks fall on the loader as hang out? It seems like that would be pretty rough on the loader. Very nice job on the video but we should have had the shot of him finishing up the field - he was so close!
loader is a machine. it has no feelings. it only has work to do.
Mike how is that Case quad track tractor as a packer?
In my neck of the woods, im about 25-30 minutes from mogadore

How big is the herd at Congress Lakes Farm?
And where is your market for your products? Local or international ?
Odd! These tractors were built for a minimum amount of compaction in the field but then they’re enlisted to pack (compaction) on the silage pile‼️
I always thought duels and tracks we to cut compaction, don't you want compaction in the pit?
Heard these guys got a Claas 990 with 12 row head demo this year. That 1042 is Royer's? They chop for us each year, running a JD 8600i (or 8700?)
where is this located? what a neat place.
How many acres are planted in corn?
Very nice
from Sweden Nice video mike ass Always
Do you have a silage problem???...Better call Mike !!
12 or 15 rows @ pass?! Amazing machine!
отлично
я тоже хочу такой агромный ферма
How much corn is that chopper leaving on the ground ?
Other than the useless stalk not much
does anyone use a vibrating compactor?
35:25 I guess they call it Mount Silage...😉👍🏻
u would think they would use dump wagons then walking floor get ride of it so much faster
We don't really use dump wagons unless it's a semi trailer or an EU trailer
Has anyone worked out the total horsepower in this clip?
Hi . Mike I would like to see there planter some time . Never heard of 15 inch corn before . I have seen 20 inch double roles . Thanks for the great video. Peace and love from Wisconsin.
