Everything Is Breaking Down - Trying To Finish Chopping Corn Silage!

In this video we have a few breakdowns and are trying to get done chopping corn silage.
Hi my name is Paul & I’m Organic Dairy Farmer South Dakota. I farm with my younger brother & we milk 50 cows. We are a 4th generation family farm that farms 400 acres in which we raise corn, oats, alfalfa, soybeans plus we do rotational grazing with our milk cows.
We have been a certified organic dairy since November of 2006 & we take a lot of pride in what we do & strive to produce the highest quality products that we can.
I hope I can teach you a little bit of something about organic farming also in process maybe have a little fun along the way. Don’t be afraid to think outside they box!

Those cobs are sure nice! Great video!

Oh the joys of farming. I remember us having those days but lucky my dad was a pretty good mechanic.

[@davidyoung9195]

Thanks for the video! Good to see you again. Always more to get done than time to do it. Be safe and good luck with harvest. It’s crazy the parts that used to come in one package now have 2 or 3 separate packages now. More money!😢

Nice Paul, sorry to hear about Steve's 6000, the good news is you both have the knowledge to repair it

Thanks for the video. Possible the center is tore out of the torque limiter clutch.

Thanks for the input Gerald.

Do you and your brother use conventional oil in your tractors? Whether or not it's old dinosaur bones I dunno, but running rigs over the road has shown me synthetic oil really is better for wear. I always wanted to be a dairy farmer like my grandfather, uncle, and aunt, but the cost to get started is crazy and getting a milk market is almost impossible. Thanks for bringing us along with your herd.

Hello James. Thanks so much for stopping by and watching our video. We actually use a synthetic blend for oil in our tractors. It’s nice because we can go longer between changes. The newer tractors can go even longer between changes because of newer technology that burns the fuel up better. Yep there’s a lot of expenses to get into farming. It’s not easy when you can’t control what you get paid for your product. “The farmer is the only person who buys everything at retail and sells everything at wholesale”. John F. Kennedy.

What’s the tank for on back of the dump wagon?

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Sucks to have breakdowns. If it's mechanical it will happen but always seems to at inopportune times. Sorry to hear about the 6,000 and your nephew. When I was that age and something like that would happen the first words I heard was "what did you do?" Always made me feel like crap. May everything keep running good from here on out.

It was a rookie mistake. He hit a badger hole and instead of stepping on the inching pedal he pulled on the shift lever to slow down a gear. The momentum caused him to pull it back too many gears to fast. So either the torsional dampener or input shaft got hurt. Just not fun when break downs happen when the economy is the way it is.

Hope the Ford 6000 fixes upo easy! Thanks for sharing,

[@stephenfonder7409]

Thanks Bill.

That weed looks like waterhemp. That stuff is miserable even spraying it. Cross pollinated with pig weed and produces way more seeds then pig weed alone.

Safety glasses Paul

Yeh, show us the Ford 6000.
