Chopping Corn 2022/Days 7 & 8/Filling a Bag with Corn Silage
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 жов 2022
- The upright silo by the dairy barn is full, so now we get to use our new-to-us Ag Bag Jr. With some help from a friend, we get an Up North bag onto the bagger and we're ready to start chopping corn again at full speed, so we'll consider these days 7 and 8. The International 1256 is running the New Holland 790 corn chopper while the International 1066 is put to work running the bagger. The Case 830 is pulling the chopper boxes again now that the silo is full. A thunderstorm was moving in the night of day 8 which make for some particularly cool shots.

That’s why you never tell a secret in a cornfield because corn has ears
Aye, aye Captain. 🤣 You've got that boy trained pretty good. Lol!
Hitch pins sure make nice gifts.👍 Good to see the bagger working good. I almost felt like a fly getting hit by a fly swatter when the branch hit the camera.🤣
Man if you and I didn’t live so far apart, I’d love to drop over and help out for a couple days. I think we might be 1,000-1,200 miles apart. I quit shipping milk August 31, and haven’t gone stir crazy yet, but maybe by next year, ha ha !
Gotta have coffee my friend,,,lol
Lots of nice camera angles -- much appreciated.
COW CHOW!
I like all the different camera angles you give us and those darn trees are always in the way.
I like that shot from the back of the box
The fall colors are soooooooooo pretty. Corn and pumpkins blend in well. God bless.
Got that right with hitch pins, always seem to be short atleast 2 to 12 haha. Bagger seems to be working well so far, always get nervous buying used equipment
You mean "short one". The one you need!!!
Man - you got ALL the camera angles 😃
The gremlins eat hitch pins!!!
Alan looks like the bagger is doing a great job. The close up shots of the corn feeding into the bagger. I saw a lot of kernels.
Never can go wrong with hitch pens and crescent wrench or some tubes of grease👍👍best gift u can get.... Every year my mother in law gets me those three things and shop towels .... absolutely love it...
That 1256 sure sounds great, Hope you have a great day
Love you guys and your farm👍😘🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍
We put our cornsilage up on the dryer side to ,I think the cow have less feet trouble and stay healthier, thanks for sharing, great videos
Camera angles are on point 👍
Your videos are always wonderful but getting and better looks great shows whats really going on in real time , Love the ole 1256 rolling some coal to , Regards from ohio !
i love your copilot❤!!! great job!
Great video! I liked all the unique camera angles!
When corn is sold for silage here in Colorado the deal is based on 70% moisture 30% dry matter. It doesn’t look like you loosing a lot of leaves.
Great video. Beautiful scenery with the stream. Thank you and God bless
the corn you are chopping is perfect most people chop to early and got water running out of there pile if you would do a test on it the silage it would be the best you can get
You're exactly right! We've been below zero for the last few days , and that silage is coming out of the bag, beautifully! And it's fermented nice too. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed all the camera angles. Lucky you found that camera. I know here every year at harvest we say we need to trim the trees back around the fields this winter but it never seems to get done. 😁
Good job Alan- first time I ever got a look of silage coming at me inside a wagon
I keep a hitch pin on every piece of equipment that was I don't have to worry if I have one on the tractor
Nice shot from wagon when finishing field.
Your video's are about small dairy farming in America good job
Thanks for sharing. God Bless
Great camera view points - nobody does them Ike you do. I'd be afraid of losing the camera in a lot of the ones you've been doing.
We were pretty nervous too.
Another great video A&J Jennifer is dedicate to her craft of filmmaking 👍👀
Just noticed that the silage is chopped long.I did custom work with a Dion 488 harvester blower and wagons. We cut as short as we could. Quarter inch. Picked better in the silo with less spoilage. Thanks.
This is chopped pretty fine, I think the camera makes it look longer.
@@trinitydairy Thanks. Too bad you don't have help. My dad had to for us to get big enough to help.
Loved the joke and another good video continue to have a safe harvest
Love all the camera angles.
Brilliant video 💪🏻🏴
Another great video! Blessings upon you all ❤
Your corn looks dry in the field but you can see the moisture when bagging. Hope your yield was ok.
You all doin a good job! I use to give hitch pins for gifts years ago.I had forgotten about that.
That joke was corn-y
Getting right along with chopping looking good
Looking good and God bless yall
Awesome channel. Easygoing and no nonsense. Great work. From Australia.
Nice video angles. That took quite a bit of time especially cool shot inside the back wall of the box.
If you want to determine the moisture in your silage, you need to weigh out exactly 4 oz and then dry it in the oven at 220 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours. Then you can convert the amount of water lost to a percentage.
Would have made for one heck of a silage video getting an action shot of getting blown into a silo!!
Just really love your content.
Great video, yer gitten there slow but sure.
Looks like some extra work to get all the camera angles. Thanks!
Awesome video
Excellent!!
looks like you will be sitting good on corn silage! love the videos! we just sold our 790 chopper and got a Deere. does the same job.
Hey Alan Corn Harvest is rolling smoothly and wheat is almost done being planted get back to me
Awesome, hopefully you have a bountiful harvest this year.
@@trinitydairy like i said get back to me when ever
Hitch pins vanish like good candy you can never find them when you look for them I do it all the time at my place we just finished up 4th cutting alfalfa today I'm finished other than picking corn
man that would be a long day/season of chopping 2 rows at a time
When I was a kid, we just had a single row.
My uncle welded a chain to each piece of equipment and the welded a hitch pin to the chain.
thank you
awesome mature whole corn plant chopping # ❤️ but if the moisture is greater than 34% then fermentation is impaired & clostridia grows & spoils the silage # nice plastic bags packaging ❤️ #👍
Hi Guys,Ed from Vermont
Hi Alan looks like the old 1066 needs rubber that ain't going to be cheap. Just got to say I've been watching your videos now for over a year and did I surely enjoy them you guys get the most incredible shots I've ever seen this really cool keep up the good work One other thing as I just wanted to say I learned about maintenance when I was very young and I see that you also maintain your equipment and take care of it if more people did that they're probably be less breakdowns.
Yeah, that thing needs rubber bad! Definitely not looking forward to that bill!
I did not know corn had ears. Until today. 😂
Festive fall decorations outside. Nice. Wonder where you could find cornstalks for more decorations? 😮
at 2:25......nice field!
Bagger seems to work as advertised. Bagger tractor leaking oil? No bear damage this year? Thanks for taking the time to do these videos. God bless you and yours.
Best regards from Indiana.
Yeah the hydraulic couplers are leaking a little, no bear damage this year, but there is some spots, where the sandhill cranes, were picking.
Great video !!!! I have noticed that during your corn chopping you have not used the Farmall 560 to haul loads. thats my favorite tractor. Keep up the great work.
It has a bad valve, so we need to get that fixed, hopefully this winter.
@@trinitydairy thank you for the quick response
Tighten your strap and pan that holds the bag, it will help get rid of the wrinkles in your bag.
at 11:48........I often time think if something would break on the chopper, before you could hit the clutch to stop, how many corn stalk would have to be pulled out.
As of today I'm milking 26 head
👍👍
When putting your corn in your upright silo or in the Ag bag how long do you like it to ferment for before you start feeding
I like to have it ferment about a week before I start feeding, but longer is better.
Hello neighbor this summer feeling one of them with hey. Came out one morning start to move more brother called him and said stop what you're doing from back to the barn. He got back there they hit a full bag split the length of it from one end to the other their bag supplier told me you don't ever seen that happen one other time, took them 8 hours with two skid loaders a silage box and two tractors to refill that bag and if I remember I already told me it was only out of the skid loader twice the whole 8 hours
Wow! I've heard of that happening, but never seen it before.
Lots of beautiful scenery in the video Alan, it looks like those hitch pins are going to come in really handy, have you heard of Hartung dairy? He's got a good channel
Yeah I like his channel.
Great video as usual, I'm curious as to what the music / artist in the background is at 14:09? It very nicely complimented the scenery.
It's called Beer Can Chicken by Chester Malone. It's through epidemic sound.
@@trinitydairy Thank you!
👌
Do you hit these fields hard with manure to replace organic matter?
Yes this field got the whole lagoon on it this Spring.
Looks like the bagger is working good, just gotta watch the pressure on the brake.
Do those bags come in different lengths or is it only one size?
Take care and God Bless
I think 8 or 9 foot bags go up to 250 feet A 14 foot bag can go up to like 500 feet.
Can you get the hybrid # I'd like to get a bag for a food plot.
Great content as always thanks for sharing
pins around here are like the socks in the washer thing just vanish even now that my kids are gone lol how many more days do you think it will take?
We are starting a 2nd bag today, so I would say another 4 days. If there's any corn left after that, we'll be picking it.
AL, DOES THE BAGGER AUTOMATICALY PUSH THE TRACTOR AHEAD AS THE BAG FILLS?
Yes
Will you be picking any corn this year
We are going to make a 2nd bag of silage, and if there is any left after that, we'll pick it.
How long do your bags last? 1-2 seasons?
With the 2 bags and the silo full, I'm hoping it will last one season.
If you had a choice on type of tractor you would like to have either new or old what would it be? And why?
Old, because they are much easier to work on myself, in my opinion, they are much more reliable, because they don't have all the electronics and emissions stuff to break down, and they are much more affordable to buy. I also like the looks of the older tractors, to me the new ones, all look the same, just different colors.
I know there is a lot we don't see. It seems though that the deer/bear/raccoon damage isn't just so so bad. You figure to leave a little corn for picking??
We're just putting on a new bag tonight. There's still a lot of corn left so if there's any leftover, we'll pick it.
What model tractor would be your dream tractor to own?
Man, it's hard to pick just one, but one tractor I've always wanted is a IH 14 or 1568.
Hi Alan. What is your protein test in milk
This last pickup was 3.4
Ok nice same as mine
How many acres of corn do you have
About 40
🐄🐄👍👍
Great video but is the corn getting to dry to chop
Not yet, it froze, so it's not as dry as it looks.
Ha ha 🤣
Why don't you fix that roof it drives me crazy and it's not even mine I love you use the old international tractors but
