Chopping Corn Silage & Filling Ag Bags - Versailles Ohio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2022
- Video from August 2021 as I am out with a family dairy farm near Versailles Ohio as they chop their 2021 corn crop for silage. In this video I show and explain the process as they chop the silage in the field and haul it back to the farm and unload it into a silage bag.
Equipment in this video is-
New Holland T7 315 Tractor pulling a New Holland FP 240 forage harvester
New Holland T5060 Tractor with loader
New Holland TS110 Tractor
Meyer Silage Wagons (Forage Boxes)
Ford New Holland 8670 Tractor hooked to and Ag Bagger
Thanks for taking the time to watch this video and feel free to comment. - Авто та транспорт
Watching corn silage harvest on a cold and snowy winter day. Thanks Mike, it helps keep me sane through the long winter! Your channel is top notch.
Amen to that
Nice to see a pull type chopper and tractors and equipment that isn't John Deere. Both are rare on UA-cam anymore. Great video Mike. Thank you!
That was great Mike. Love those quick hitches. Talk about making life easier!
Love that old NH 1880
Hello! Always fun to watch old equipment doing a fine job.
love the wagon tractors they TS and T5 are some of NH best efforts
🤙. Thank you for sharing this. Farmers are greatly appreciated
Another awesome silage-videol!
Thanks a lot!
😊👍
Mike I remember back in the late 60's.we didn't have the Prosserers and the silage was cut in one inch lengths . As someone who didn't work with cattle I never kept up with the livestock side of farming I usually did the fieldwork unless really needed Thanks for your great videos
Another excellent silage video, thanks!
As always great video footage.
Great set up, there's no over kill with machine size which is nice to see for a change.
Great video Mike😉👍 it's cool to see how they fill the ag bag👍😁
That set up is amazing
"The cows would sort through and not eat the cob". And now you know why fast food restaurants sell you burgers, and not steaks. 😁
Great vídeo Mike.
Awesome video!
Very cool Mike. Always like silage videos, especially watching them with 18" of snow on the ground!!😆🤣
Nice mike
Love the vid mate cracka watchin from North Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 👍 That music at 10:15 just chills me right out!! Keep up the solid work mate keen for the next one🤙
Interessante colheita de silagem de vocês, parabéns pelo trabalho , abraço do Brasil
Hi Mike. I noticed the "quick hitch" right off! Things sure have changed since I ran a forage harvester...
Nice video and machines. Greets from germany
I hope you make a close up video on the Quick Hitch. Great video. Thank You
Mike, that is some old school harvesting. Also funky looking
I wouldn't say this is old school at all. Still plenty of farms with pull type choppers and as far as I know this New Holland FP240 is still a current model.
@@farmhandmike sorry Mike, what I mean by old school. Is you see people with self propelled forage harvesters and the you see guys in tractors pulling the cutting head and trailer together putting in the hours. Like what use to be every occurrence
wish you would have got a close up of how those hitches work. Great video.
was the wagon tender for years as a teen into my 20's following 2 and 3 row new idea pickers with gravity wagons. Sure wish I had those quick hitches. Instead it was drop the wagon and muscle it onto the back of the picker, and then was on my own to hook up the full wagons at the head of a ditch/row irrigated field. Could take 15 times on an off the tractor to get that pin in. Drone or ground footage of those in this video would be awesome, they have their procedure perfected here.
I was using quick hitches on the Massey Ferguson 90hp 2wd tractor & (Claas Jaguar) forage harvester and trailer back in 75. Difference being, forager was picking up grass.
@ 1:46 It sounded like you said the NH T7 was pulling a NH forage harvester and that it was self propelled? Love these corn silage vids and really great to see some blue tractors in the vid.
Well I’ll have to go back and check. I went over that several times but still miss stuff
I noticed the same thing.
The boss announced the other day that we are going to chop a bunch of wheat next spring which will be new for us. We normally chop a couple thousand ton of corn every year.
I can't imagine chopping silage at only 3 rows at a time. Makes me wonder if this is just a limited harvest and the rest of the field will be harvested later for something like ethanol.
This farm must be in a hurry to get their silage processed, so I see why they're bagging it rather than dumping it into a silage bunker, smooshing it, wrapping it, letting it slowly ferment, then reloading the finished product back into a trailer to send it back to the farm which I'm probably guessing is way too slow and time consuming compared to just two steps of bagging it and fermenting it in the bag.
Fantastic!! forage chopping process Farmhand Mike.
How does the system for connecting and disconnecting the trailer from the tractor cabin?
A pull of rope I believe.
i would like to see those auto hitches up close and in slow-motion
The guy I was helping in Las animas Colorado had a new Holland tl-100 pulling a Vermeer hay hydraulic rake 2wd got sure as hell got that hay raked and ready to bake baler he had was attached to a 7250 case ih 2wd tractor the baler he was using to bale with was if I remember correctly a 4910 Heston big 4x4 square baler he baled alfalfa and cane feed for his cattle if he was baling cane he would produce 3 4x4 big square bales of cane a row he owned a new Holland self propelled swather with a 16 foot wide new Holland reel head
can you show us a krennel prossor up close some time ?
Cows ain't dumb I helped a guy mix tmr and some way some how damn cows found the distilleries in the feed like how in the hell
how many acres can they chop aday?
@5:30 what are they spraying on the silage?
That is probably a silage inoculant.
That looks like a Schmitmeyer
These farms you been filming must be pertty decent size like half or a 1000 some acres of sizes rise...lol but the reality side they are quite beautiful especially filled with corn or hay fields or even pastures. I whether prefer to see a framer farming over dozens, or hundreds or thousands of acres to provide food for their own animals that someday someone else get to eat or for their own milk that people drink due to their own cows produce from the corn they planted, that God help grown due to rain, instead seeing nothing but house lots/ parking lots.. But that's my opinion I guess. So inerways again good video.
Thanks, I film on all sizes of farms but I'm always looking for a good mix of equipment, different types of farms and the background. I think a good background helps make the video.
He's probably driving a couple hundred miles around in those fields before all that corn is cut 3 rows at a whack.
Pull type
I like watching Mike less videos on UA-cam, from the imperial co commiefornia.
