    Proper job, if he rolls the rest of the clamp as he did last year then it'll be excellent stuff.

      That guy is unreal on the shovel. Taking the grape off and packing well to the edge. Some just don't give a damn just fire it in. Big air pockets then and pit face going off once its opened. Nightmare

    Great seeing this silage being done like this up here in the islands of Scotland all we do is the bails because big sheds like that cost way to much to be built, as they need to be built strong enough to withstand 100+ mph winds

    Great video pal. You may have to weld plate on bottom re-enforce that split! All our plastic goes to be recycled and benchs made. We put something in the Chopper tank and that ain't cheap either?

    Interesting video . Sweep was asking does the silage have rats nests in it when it's all piled up ? If so he will come down to your farm for some exercise he loves to catch rats and give them a good shaking in his jaws . Stay safe and Crack on .

    First time I had seen a silage pit being filled up from scratch, usually there is a big pile of grass in thereby time we get to see it. Tell me is the more it's rolled in the pit the better it is? Does it make for better silage or does this help to preserve it?

    • @bencarter2334
      @bencarter2334 4 роки тому

      Because grass clippings are left to dry for 24 hours and you don’t put them in an airtight environment. So they rot rather than pickle.

      No it's grass that they clamp to make silage for cows

    • @wendyrowland7787
      @wendyrowland7787 4 роки тому +1

      Yes if it is cut at the right time of day when the sugars rise in the grass. Some of the sugars in our round bale haylage caramelises and you can taste it . Important to conserve forage that has protein and energy. The first cut is usually the best.
