It never fails, I'm always impressed with forage harvesters. These machines have an appetite that is second to none! Great video Jason. Love BTP!!!💪💪👍👍
We were lucky in PA because they have their farm show the first weekend after New Years. However, the show focuses on husbandry as opposed to showcasing new farm equipment. However, its a real treat to go and support our great farmers.
Dad did custom chopping back in the 70's. Two John Deere pull types and one John Deere Self propelled three row. ( big back in those days.) put up around 400,000 tons per season in Eastern Washington State. He would start season in Central State and keep ahead of the frost line working his way 90 miles south. We chopped corn for about two months per year seven days a week.
We run a Claas Jaguar 970 with a 10 row head, we use 3 Freightliner Columbia semi trucks and 1 Western Star semi that pull Meyer 9140 BossRT trailers. We use a Steiger 470 with a grouser blade to push the silage at the bunker.
Up here in north central Nebraska we are probably 2 weeks from lighting the fires on the the choppers. We run 7750 7850 7980. We have been thrashing on the silage trucks for a couple of weeks getting them ready as well as putting the finishing touches on the choppers. Hopefully this year we won't fight the mud like we have the last couple of years. That sure looks like some good running. It is pretty fun to have 700 horse power in the palm of your hand.💪🏻
Jason going to be chopping starting late tomorrow or Tuesday morning. Pull type new Holland. Just north of Hopkinsville 3 miles. Ask Ricky or Tatum for number.
Andy Hutch oh ya we have been there. Last couple of years have been a challenging. Hopefully this year we won’t have to do that it been drier this year thank god.
We grow corn but we don't chop it, the buyer does and they use CLAAS 990 jaguars and Kenworth trucks to haul it out. Love your channel Ps, 38 tons/acre out here in California
@@TheMatata89 no mistake sir. The corn out here is taller than the cab all day Mind you, we flood irrigate every ten days with NH3 in the water, apply manure twice a year between crops, deep rip 2 times a year. Its super ideal corn growing in CA for the cows
They have a different tractor who’s whole purpose is to unload. You drive from the field back to the farm, switch to an empty trailer then back to the field. It makes it so the tractors are always moving.
I ran a JD 3970 2 row with a JD 4440 back in the late 80's early 90's we had a 150' bunk we filled with about 30 acres of corn...packed the bunk with a 4440 weighted down to 23.000 lbs just a small dairy which are now obsolete
Well I can tell ya with our 2 eight row machines in irrigated corn we running around 250 ton and hour for one machine with and 5 straight trucks an a side dump 3 miles from the pile so for two machine would probably need 12 trucks to never stop
Ryan Katz $700/hour chopper $85 /straight truck. $120/ semi. You would probably be around 1100- 1250 per hour. Choppers aren’t cheap. Takes a fair amount of money to keep them in good running order. Usually we put around 15-25 thousand each year just into the choppers. Time is money and money is time. Also there is a short window on silage to get it right
Ryan Katz it kinda of depends on the year. We most generally do about 70-80 thousand tons. Around 3000-5000 acres. That is just corn silage we also do some rye, oats and alfalfa which we probably do 1500 acres worth. Plus we also have our own stuff to do like combine corn and soybeans and wean calves. We stay plenty busy. The nice thing for us is everything is paided for not making payment on machines. We run older Peterbilt trucks nothing new by any means.
NOT being critical, but why couldn't this have been done on the downed corn from the derecho? I am sure the header could have pulled a lot up off the ground with those fingers sticking out.
Silage, like everything else, only has a certain demand. In the United States silage is only really used to feed cows. While some of the down corn could be chopped, it is impractical to chop all of it. There would be far too much. It wouldn’t be worth the effort as it wouldn’t pay out. And there is so much needed equipment that they would struggle to chop more land then what they already do chop.
There are a lot of nitrates in the bottom portion of the plant. Which is poisonous to animals if feed to much can kill them. Looks like dry land which sometimes has more than irrigated. Also some like to leave extra to catch snow in winter time.
Wow! They’re laying down 8 rows a pass and they need two of these behemoths? How many acres are they cutting? How many ton on one of those H&S wagons? They’re gonna have to chisel the hell out of those fields with all the big tractor power running all over them!
Old Tireman I’m guessing there probably getting 12/15 ton somewhere in that ball park on this wagons. We get anywhere from 12.5/20 on our straight truck and semis.
Usually yes. They chop the field earlier in the season then if they were going to harvest for grain. So in order to pick the corn they would have to chop the field, wait for the field to dry out, then pick the corn.
The cows are going to be eating good
I chop up here in southern Illinois. Custom cutter cones in with a Krone. It has two Mercedes diesels in it...12 row. It’s a bad boy...
eyy post a vid on it
It never fails, I'm always impressed with forage harvesters. These machines have an appetite that is second to none! Great video Jason. Love BTP!!!💪💪👍👍
There's not many Farm shows to go to this year, (because of you know what)...Thank you Big TractorPower!👍🇺🇸😎

Wow I have rode in a John Deere chopper chopping hay before and great vid big tractor power
Thank you.
New big tractor power vid on my bday hell ya!
Galaxie654 happy birthday 🎉🎊🎂🎁🎈

Chopping corn is always a great time😁👍 I love the smell of corn silage😉👍
Keep up your great work👍👍

Get with my times 1 row chopper,70 JD , B JD flare box wagon Ha,Ha, chuckle. if we only had them. THX Jason...
Very nice vidéo, like always 😊 thank you
Thanks ! No questions 😉👍👍
Máy này làm việc quá tốt rồi 👍
We are getting ready to chop in MO. We run a JD 8600i with 5 tandem trucks with silage dump beds to haul.
Nice video an you chow the silage pit its going in
Excellent video as always! Just a minor correction, 7780s are 626 HP max at 1900 rpm and 582 at 2100.
Awesome Video Buddy!!
Jason going to be chopping starting late tomorrow or Tuesday morning. Pull type new Holland. Just north of Hopkinsville 3 miles. Ask Ricky or Tatum for number.
In UK, foraging maize, most of the machines are up to their arses in mud, towing tractors stuck fast sunk to their bellys!
Andy Hutch oh ya we have been there. Last couple of years have been a challenging. Hopefully this year we won’t have to do that it been drier this year thank god.
Love corn chopping
Will be chopping Saturday, they have 8000 acres one farm.
Love forage harvesting videos, love your channel! We use a dion f41stinger and tandem silage trucks up in BC
Thank you for watching. The F41 is a cool chopper. What tractor do you run your Dion with?
bigtractorpower we use an Agco challenger mt585d
2014 model
You should do a video on the new Cat c15 engine coming out in September.........
Hello!
We grow corn but we don't chop it, the buyer does and they use CLAAS 990 jaguars and Kenworth trucks to haul it out. Love your channel

38 tons/acre? This must be a mistake right? Wow

@@cagrowin1962 impressive!
I noticed the pto isn't hooked up on the H&S wagons. How do they unload them?
They have a different tractor who’s whole purpose is to unload. You drive from the field back to the farm, switch to an empty trailer then back to the field. It makes it so the tractors are always moving.
In 1979 we had a gehl 600 with a 2 row corn head and two 16 foot chopper boxes on a 3⁰0 acre farm.
I ran a JD 3970 2 row with a JD 4440 back in the late 80's early 90's we had a 150' bunk we filled with about 30 acres of corn...packed the bunk with a 4440 weighted down to 23.000 lbs just a small dairy which are now obsolete
If it ain't green... It ain't mean
How many head of dairy cows does this fellow have to have 2 forage harvesters.
Sure doesn’t take long to Clearfield with a couple of those going
They move right along.
Did I see a yield map on one of his monitors?

You would better learn English! The universal language... Y son "subtítulos"!
Think only thing missing was of how much corn was being chopped with the 2 choopers and number of wagons and dump trailers
Well I can tell ya with our 2 eight row machines in irrigated corn we running around 250 ton and hour for one machine with and 5 straight trucks an a side dump 3 miles from the pile so for two machine would probably need 12 trucks to never stop
@@travissteinkraus6307 sure alot of money on equipment 2 chopers the wagons and semis just in that video

@@workintractorssince04 WOW, I did not think of the Demand part of it. All makes sense now, thanks for the reply Ryan.
Fortunately the soil is dry because all these mashines are very heavy
👏👏👏👍👍🚜🚜🚜
Why do they cut the plants that high? Lots of waste plants.
What do you mean
There are a lot of nitrates in the bottom portion of the plant. Which is poisonous to animals if feed to much can kill them. Looks like dry land which sometimes has more than irrigated. Also some like to leave extra to catch snow in winter time.
A bit different to the usual mud bath we have in the UK.
👌👍😏✌
You could put subtitles in Spanish
👍👍
We have a 7580 jd chopper turned up to 650hp

What is the farms name
Bigtractorpower i shot u email about coming to video a huge dirt pan job in tn. We have 2 GAME tractors
Did they chopped the entire field?
Usually yes. They chop the field earlier in the season then if they were going to harvest for grain. So in order to pick the corn they would have to chop the field, wait for the field to dry out, then pick the corn.
