Another great video and soundtrack off sanders farm ,👌😎,great to see the video again missed em the system works for yah, keep doing what you're doin spot on😎😎👌🏴
Awesome video one of the best silage baling operations seen for long time i bet you boys don't get much waste well wrapped and stacked ace.
Great system to get it done its all about team work love seeing the small Massey earning her keep and still been a valuable tractor around d yard
Wouldn’t be without it. It was straight off the scraper and onto the wrapper every day
Another good video Sanders!👍👍
Team work makes the dream work. Well organised operation.
Thanks
I get the arguments for pit silage but this is great to watch. Something different for a change 😊.
Should get a fusion 3
@aubreygreen7179 would never wrap in the field
If it works for you then it works. We used to make a big pit and some bales, but have switched back to all bales for the last few years, as help is harder got, and one man and one tractor can feed all winter with bales, and no climbing up top to pull back the cover or move tired
Use less staff with bales! Are you drunk man?
@@stakman78 not drunk right now. One older man feeds all winter in our farm with bales with no help. Where as with the pit he needed help at least once a week to take the tires off the pit and roll back the cover as he couldn’t manage that alone.
Gotta love the UA-cam farmers 😂😂 Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
A stack with that amount of bales is way more impressive than any silage pit
Great video some brilliant drone footage there keep up the good work
Thanks!
Nice work, we do similar but have a carpet pad on the floor to stop bales being punctured as the drop off the machine. No bad bales atall then!
Another year and another great silage video 👍
Thanks
Well done with good gear and a great team any job no bother
I would also make bales instead of an silage pit. I dont know about your country, but in my country you can sell those plastic. You can buy a press and press all the wrap you cut later when used in to a bale and sell it to factories for recycling. Maybe you get 25% of your investment back at the end of the year.
Where we live the government take the plastic and burn it cleanly in an incinerator to make electric
@@sandersfarmvids In Turkiye we can sell it for 0,50 cent American dollar per KG to recycling compagnies. When you have 2000 KG plastic waste at the end of the year is 1000 American dollar.....At least something than nothing :)) You do good job. Bless you and your loved ones.
Awesome video 👍great setup you have 😍you always stack on end like that was wondering if you could put a 4th row up to save some space?
If it was haylage I would but not for 1st cut silage. These are seriously heavy bales so the bottom row might get misshapen
When you have that much help I'd say it's just at quick as pit silage. Plus bales are top quality feed. No waist
Our bales are excellent quality and the analysis was better than most people’s pits
@@sandersfarmvids same here. Nothing under 78 dmd last year. Hope for the same this year.
I understand your reasoning, we do about 1750 bales year all square though!
I don't make or use silage and i fully understand why you don't make a clamp. Na, bales are a much better way. still waiting fer ya to put the camera on top of a building and show the entire days or 3 wrapping in one time laps. Would love to see the yard built up from start to finish, every bale.
Where was the Kuhn baler from last year. How did you get on with the film wrap. Thanks
Kuhn baler broke down (🔥) half way through which was gutting as the bales with the plastic are far superior to the mchale ones
@@sandersfarmvidsin what way? Easier to remove all as plastic or another reason
Easier to separate plastic, heavier, better chopped bales and the plastic holds the bales shape longer than netwrap. The bales since we have used it have analysed better too
@@sandersfarmvids nice. thanks for the info, can see people slowly move that direction here too if they seem that much better
Excellent vid again sir,i make 1500 bales for my dairy herd and like you,would nt dream of changing...how do u find the Malone tedder ?
I use a krone, Kuhn and Malone Tedder this cut. The krone is ours but broke down with its 2nd gearbox failure in 2 seasons (plus the grass wraps around the wheels all the time and loses tines for fun), we borrowed a Kuhn but I don’t think it did a great job and then had the Malone on demo which was by far the easiest to use ( apart from unfolding) and did the best job, the hook tines were far better at picking the grass up. So we will be trading the krone in
First cut done, now off to watch the bikes.
That would be me anyway.
Not really into bikes to be honest! But definitely a chance for a rest
@@sandersfarmvids
I remember you saying last year you weren't into the bikes.
You’ll be lucky if you spend 7k on plastic and would be more than double that to get a contractor in to do pit silage I’d say your doing the right thing!
And also have to build a clamp and all the machines to feed pit silage
Great video, were there two balers? I see the bales in the field have net wrap, and the ones in the yard have plastic wrap.
Yes we started with a Kuhn baler but it overheated 🔥 so we had to finish with the mchale which was a shame because the Kuhn was far better
What pressure do you run the Mchale at George and do you put all the knives in or a half set ?
Ever think of getting a combo baler? Fusion and kuhn ones seem to do the best jobs
No, wrapping at the stack is far better!
What baler do you have with the film binding? How do you like it. Great video 👌
Kuhn fb3135. Amazing baler. Far better than mchale bales. It broke down halfway through due to a bearing so had to switch balers
How long did it take to do from mow to stack
Usually we mow, Ted it, leave it a day then pick up mid morning the day after that
Thanks how many bales did you get
3200
Wo that is alot
Better baler mchale or kuhn? Ever had krone baler?
Kuhn is a far superior baler. Has a better intake and makes a far heavier, well chopped bale ant the plastic holds it together better than netwrap
@@sandersfarmvids how many knives you use? 25?
@@tinnie1835 I think it has 23
do what you think is best for your farm. If you do silage you need to pay a contractor or buy it yourself which is expensive. Plus you have the equipment for baling so why not use it.
How many bales
It’s in the video! 3200
no wonder of Erath dying it cause of you just build a clamp is better for the earth because of you like yes it impressive but come on
you will make your money back so fast
It's alot off work and hard ship we done that are self to but went back to silage clamps but look like u got good few people helping ya so I have to ask why the bales and not a silage clamp cuz we both kno there's alot off money does go's into the bales 😂😂
Bales are easier to feed out, and a lot of our fields are not that suitable for chopping and to build a clamp would cost a fortune
