Great video.
Hello Kip, I am glad I stumbled onto your channel. I grew up on a dairy farm in the Texas Panhandle and filling three AO Smith (two 90ft and one 120ft) silos every year with my father preparing for winter was one of our summer jobs. We chopped alfalfa, corn, haygrazer, and more. Brings back so many great memories and made me smile. BTW: we still have the silos...
Awesome 👍😉
Kip , you all work together as one this is why your farm is so successful . I always loved filling silos .
Yes sir
Great video
Thanks!

Nice hot rock. Looking good for silage. Can almost smell it, but better when fermented. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
We try to cut ours little long we have less DA it works for us, great video! 👍

Wish I lived closer, I used to love unloading wagons and doing silage !!
Hay looks so good. This country girl loves the smell of fresh cut hay.
👍🐄🤠
Awesome video Kip! Best wishes to your niece and all the family!
Thanks so much!
I LIKE THOSE KIND OF VIDEOS GOOD JOB

Kip great channel and your dads a smart man finding all that old iron good reliable tractors to get the jobs done nice to see it over the new stuff every once in awhile
Enjoyed the video, on top of things. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the memorys Kip. The farm had the same wagons and we did hay in to Harvestor silos. Nice set up you have. And I know your milk hauler Dave. I say hi to him.
So many great you tube channels to watch. Trinity Dairy, 10th generation farmer, How farms work, The Welkers, MF, Brian’s Farm videos Kip yours are right up there. Love all your videos so basic but well done. Veeser’s Andy’s channel Cole the Cornstar. Peterson brrothers Farmer on the Prarie
Thanks for that!
Remembering the those hot Michigan days filling silo on the farm west of Gagetown. Thanks Kip for great videos. Thumbs Up (pun intended 🤪)!
🤠🐄😂😂👍
Enjoyed it tremendously. Great job. Thanks so much for what you do.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the open station blower tractor. Not hard to idle it up from ground ! We used a 2640 on a 90 foot harvestor it worked.. lol but use a 4430 now lol
Heck yeah!
Looks good kip!! Not dusty just the right mmmooisture , chopping here in wi also! June sure is dairy month an a great month it is for us dairy farmers!!!
Sounds great!
Hi, great vidéo thank you to taking time to do it,you are busy. Fill silo and feed cow same time, multitask 🐄🐮 JD equipment all the way,from start to finish 👍👍. Keep doing good work. Hope your niece going well.
Love the videos Kip! Keep up the good work!
Thanks 👍👍
Hey Kip, looks like fun putting up haylage. Had a JD716 back in the day. The gearbox inside shaft washers got too thin and had to take it apart and replace and add to them. Then the gears meshed properly again. Took about 2 hours. Was putting up corn silage at the time back in about 1994-95 I think. Don't remember the exact year. You make me feel like I'm right there with you man! "Let's Go!"
Great video my son(he’s 3 1/2) is always excited to “watch the new Kip!”
Sweet 👍
Great video Kip.
#Makayla🙏
🙏🙏
Finally some Good Weather for making silage
That’s a good idea with the sandwich on top of the rock I’m gonna have to try that 👍 Great video!!
You should!
Hey Kip - this was awesome! Its a good first person view of what the unloader does. One thing, you gotta be careful around the PTO with an untucked shirt!! Take care buddy - look forward to the next one!
Good call!
Good video Kip I bet ya feeling good being wide open staying busy Kip yal stay safe brother !Daniel from central Mississippi
Thanks 👍
Thanks for supporting the dairy cause it helps also that stuff looks a little stringy but isn’t that bad and you guys have a fast hitch on that chopper man I wish we had one because it would save a heck of a lot of time 👍 I enjoyed the video keep em up
Thank you
We just finished first cut two weeks ago, Nice work filling the silo remember i did that to when i worked in the USA for a year,thanks man
Nice work!
love watching you guys it sure brings back a lot of memories theres nothing better than a jd pulltype chopper and those chuck wagons are the best chuckwagons there are, i used to run a jd 115 chuck wagon with a farmal m and they run so smooth the m ran it with no problem, thank you for making quality milk and taking such good care of your cows!
Thank you 👍
You the man Kip!!!!
I like your equipment. John Deere Green. 👍👍
Yeah green👍
Oh how I long for those days on the farm. Thank you for such a great channel. Got Milk?
👍🐄
Putting up hay can make a long day but what a wonderful smell!
Farming has really changed in the 60 years since I left the farm and went out into the big wide world. We had a Farmall B, Farmall Super C, JD50. Now tractors are gigantic!. We had two two bottom plows. Finally able to give up plowing in the fall when got rid of the F-30 and we got the C and the JD and the second plow. Still took forever. Only milked twice a day though.
I miss chopping hay an corn. I didn't run the wagons very often I was normally in the chopper all the time
Nice video and comments about what you are doing. I quit milking 10 years ago and miss a lot. I always enjoyed making hay (baling or chopping) as long as the weather cooperated. Why don't you unload faster? I put a 4440 on a NH28 blower blowing hay 90', We could do 5-16' badger boxes an hour with me hauling alone in field next to buildings (I needed one gut to help haul from fields farther away). I wish I could of done like all your informative videos, but I just missed the lower cost tech you are using. I hope you have a good milk market and survive these tough times and emerge stronger than ever. It's a good life!
I just love this !! Thanks. I also get my hands on some great cheese. Might be a little bit partial but I check where it comes from 😛
👍👍
Getting into small scale dairy farming. Love the videos and all the info. I'm based in south africa. Keep up the excellent work and keep publishing
How big are the silos, little long will help butterfat and helps with cow's rumination but doesn't pack in the silo as well. Busy time of year very important to reflects the whole year of milk production. Good job and stay hydrated.
20x70, you’re right. I’ve had the hay wrap around the augers in silo before, looks good👍
Love the videos you do such a great job!
Dairy all day long. 🤟🏼
That New Holland silo filler must be like a giant fan , so high from bottom to top.
Lots of torque lol
Way back in the mid seventies I worked with my Dad who ran a custom chopping outfit in Washington State. He had a self propelled John Deere 3 row (big back then) and two John Deere #38 pull types. We put up about 300,000 tons a year of alfalfa and corn silage.. Love the pull types still. Lot's of memories. thanks
Nothing like the sound of John Deere pull type choppers.
Yes sir
For a couple years i helped a father and mother and son (80s and 50ish) i bought my milk from them and loved it. I helped haul rounds and rake and haul corn silage and blow it up haul ear corn and unload. Hauled and spread a lot of shit. They shut down due to son not able to do it all as parents got to old to be dealing with farming
Making hay while the sun shines...
Looks like you could use a few more drivers...LOL
Love that smell! Love your channel! Love your videos with milking and working around the cows! Miss those days! I drive truck now. Grew up in a farm! Miss that dairy barn smell!
👍👍🐄
the wagons are cherry
👍👌🇨🇦❤
Excellent video 👍 will the hay ferment in the silo or is it dry enough so this doesn't happen?
It’ll ferment yes
Another great video brother, are you adding water to the blower?
Yep just to help it up a bit
You scared my to death. I thought the pot was moving. When you got close with your blue shirt
I'm sorry I meant to say pto. Please be real careful. My uncle wasn't so lucky
Kip, you certainly seem to be on top of everything...watching your big forage harvester go round and round and round on what looks like small windrows...can it handle merged/larger
windrows? It seems a lot of guys merge. Couldn't that ATV pull a small old side rake?
Oh how I miss doing that
Did your nutritionist recommend how fine you chop? Great video
Just found your channel and subbed. I was wondering, Can you mix different types of silage in the silo, such as corn, sorghum, rye and hay together??
Yes you can!
Wish Rochelle, you and your family the best man, love the channel, i was raised on a dairy/grape farm in New York State right close to the Lake Erie Shoreline, i lived there in 75 and remember when the Fitzgerald sank being on the news.
When i was a kid i remember thinking at times i could not wait to get away from the life, in 02 after 10 years living in Montana i was between jobs and having no luck, driving by a dairy farm in Corvallis Montana i just pulled in, a farmer in his early 60s shook my hand and asked me what he could do for me, i still call him once in a while, he is in his early 80's now and still doing it.^^
I did his hand line and wheel line irrigation for 2 years on a 200 Honda, walked that hand line 9 miles per day (i did the math), lost 25 pounds and my blood pressure elated my doctor lol, in all the years i had been off the farm i have never loved a job more, how i miss it now, i work on cargo aircraft now, it will never measure up.
Again all the best Kip, subbed.^^
not putting you down for way you are doing it but just saying what would happen if i ran a tire in that shape darn thing would blow out as far from the shop as could be with it filled to the brim and no jack big enough to get it jacked up
Thought u guys had a self propelled chopper
we save that for only corn, crazy isnt it
That is crazy. Get a merger and save yourselfs time
I had to think about the chopper situation also ,cause I was sure they had a self propelled also ! So I wasn't dreaming !!!
What do you the case 430 for. Great video
We just keep them around to blade driveway, 10 years ago we’d fill silo with them, they can pull
I though the hay looked a little long the last load you unloaded look better. Dont want it to warp on the unloader .
Yes my thought exactly
On 2:30 you should’ve cut the PTO on first before throttling wide open
How do you raise the equipment inside the silo back to the top and how do you know when it is full?
So do you guys have two silos for hay and two for corn and one for high moisture corn
Yes exactly
Dairy Farming With Kip Siegler how are they set up was just curious I love this time of year when I used to work on a farm got my tan unloading wagons
What GoPro do you use?
Hero 6, pretty sure there’s a lot better ones but it works 👍
@@KipSieglerFarming1 ahh nice I love the older GoPros I got a GoPro Hero 7 silver and I love it👍
Random question...Do you know of anyone in your area that chops spring forages like triticale or rye before planting corn like they do in Ohio and Indiana or is Michigan too far north?
Some of those boxes have flat steel in the back, were they refurbished with that or are they 18 footers? I don't think I have seen that before.
We rebuit some of them yes
@@KipSieglerFarming1 looks like you did a hell of job!
Have you Eva herd of pto shaft guards kip they save your life
Hey..what are those trailers which are carting the silage??
Chopper wagons John Deere 716A
@@KipSieglerFarming1 tq bro
How many forage box wagon you have
What kind milk parlours you have my friend
Hello how many acre you harvest
Depending on the year probably 120 acres to fill two then we’ll refill with 3rd cutting hay
Thanks
You have got Holstein cows breed
Does that 8000 even know it's doing something
A bit over kill
How many tractor you have
Go green or go home
That’s a good idea with the sandwich on top of the rock I’m gonna have to try that 👍 Great video!!
You should!
