Thank you very much Mr Less for this content at this location. I'm from Cape Town, South Africa and was a chopper operator at Phenix Farms in 2016. They are located just around the corner from this location. To use this footage to show family and friends and have them understand my experience a bit better, is incredible. Keep up the fantastic work. Many thanks!
...long video... Are you kidding! I love long clip like these with the sound and all. I've click the replay-button twice already (I was doing supper/dishes and other stuff while taking a look at times. And hit replay again and sat to watch) ;)
I know I've said it before, but I really like the sound of the equipment instead of music with the drone shots! Even if doesn't quite fit what they are doing at times exactly, it's still a great improvement. I think anyway. Thanks for taking the extra time to do that!
Really cool video. - Damn even I will volunteer to drive a Combine after watching this.... :) Also this video was not long at all. It was really fun to watch.
Being from Ireland... Its a very baffling but interesting setup. The ground must be good and dry for a truck to get such traction pulling such a large trailer. Chopping maize over here... A truck would get bogged down. Its all 150 to 200 HP tractors pulling 22ft trailers mostly.
Everytime I watch these kind of videos, first thing that comes to my mind is how efficient the job is being done. Of course these people are all experienced. But I was just wondering, have they ever tried curving the corners eliminating this time consuming maneuver? Of course maintainingfull width then is a little bit difficult . But I guess still its more economical and faster. Thanks for your great videos.
Great Video, Very interesting for me (in Ireland) to see the Pile shape. As said earlier it looks dangerous, Would it not be easier and more efficient to make it into a clamp with straight back and sides and that can be rounded off with the last few loads to give it a more curved shape. One other question. How did you get the sound of the harvesters from the drone and suppress the actual drone sound itself. Love the video. Thanks for sharing.
Soil Conditioner for Rice Planting: 900grams per hectare. After sowing, Put 75 grams mix with fine soil or water evenly spray in 90 trays (The obvious contrast effect can be seen before seedling and transplanting), The left mixed with wet soil, fertilizer or mixed with water, spray to paddy field once transplanting as early as possible. Effect: 1, Under normal management, the roots are flourishing and the stems mature, yielding more than 30% per hectare. 2, Have a good effect on the prevention and control of rice seedling blight and bacterial wilt. 3. This plot can save 25% fertilizer in that year. Second year can save 40% fertilizer. 4. Milled rice rate can be increased by 3-5% than the general situation, that is, per hundred kilograms of rice can be more than 3-5 pounds of rice. 5. Rice in good quality, equivalent to organic rice. According to our customer’s reflection, only apply 900grams per hectare mixed with fine soil and spray to paddy field is ok, that is so easy, which also can be mixed with any kind of fertilizer, the effect will be much better once mixed with 15 pounds of humic acid per hectare, wechat :+86-18922956602
I recently shot a video here this spring of them chopping triticale and first cutting and the pile is half gone now. I will hopefully get that video edited in the next few weeks.
That was excellent, thank you , I had a question, if I may, I noticed when they were working on the stack, a payloader was mixing a load of feed, did you happen to catch any of that?, anyway, thanks again
Hopefully, you can answer a question I've had for years.. When the piles are this high, how do the they pull silage off them to feed it? Do they use a Talehandler or some other telescopic type tractor to reach up that high? If you have a vid on that subject, I would love to see it. If not, could you maybe talk about how it's done in an upcoming video?? I've asked this question many times on many videos, and no one will give me an answer.. Please help
Kevin's Life on the farm....I dunno man, I never though if that before. What if they just drove up the other side and pushed it off- that’s the only thing I can think of. Unless maybe they have a boom arm with that silage wheel attachment. I’ve only ever seen people use a bobcat to get the silage out of then storage pens.
@@deplorablelibertarian kinda wouldn't think so.. Wouldn't it leave too much exposed pit, which would degrade the silage pretty quickly. You want as little as possible exposed to the air. Ours are over 25 feet tall, and we use a face rake on a quick attach Cat front loader, and they sometimes have to stretch to reach the top.
Deplorable Libertarian Thanks! I’ll def go check that out. I’ve seen guys here at our dairy, that get in a hurry and don’t use the face rake, just the loader bucket, and they always scoop at the bottom of the pile, which causes a dangerous overhang of silage. When that upper piece of the pile comes down, it can hit the bucket of the loader and tip it down on its bucket very quickly. And the guys gathering tires on top, are walking on that overhang, giving me dang near a heart attack watching them. I’ve been learning Spanish, so that I can communicate with them on how dangerous this can be. I’m digging out a several acre quarry, and had to stop stockpiling the dirt on a 2 tier pile, cause of this same thing.. they only scoop into the piles bottom, and creating a dangerous situation for themselves. There are so many dangers on the farm already, no sense in creating more situations for yourself, or others. Thank you for your time checking this out for me, I appreciate it.
Mike what brand of drone do you use? The same question...How did you get the sound of the harvesters from the drone and suppress the actual drone sound itself?
This video was shot with my DJI Phantom 2 Vision Plus with a GoPro Hero 4 camera. I have since bought a DJI Phantom 4 Pro which you will see in my later videos from this spring. As for the sound since the drones don't record sound and people were leaving negative comments about using music during the drone shots I started recording the machines separately and adding it when I edit the video. Just started doing that late last fall. It a little extra work and usually can match it up fairly good.
Mike Less - Farmhand Mike your out doing yourself on making these videos and matching the sounds! The Diary farmers are sure getting the short end of the stick! They are barely able to make it now with the low price they are aid for their milk. It’s always been like that... They do the work and the big corporate companies make the big $$$. Thanks for your hard work and showing us the farms!
Get a stock of corn 8 to 9 feet high and cut it up in pieces 1/4 inches long, assuming 8 feet that will be 384 cuts, each one requires a significant amount of energy. Even with the 600 plus horsepower motor, the machine is likely power limited.

Okay thanks. I did a couple silage videos with Phenix Farms.
None of your videos are too long,love watching them. Thanks again 😃

Nice of them to line the tractors up and do a push all at once for you. Cool shot! Great content.
Thankx for not using music in the background. The sound of the machinery is much better as background sound effects!

Beautiful magic hour light in the first part of this video. The silage stuff looks to be absolute fun to participate in.
That was highly enjoyable! Nice to have in the background, and I think the music is just fine. Thanks!!

Thanks for the info, great video's, keep up the good work. That farm in Berne IN, is less than two hours from me.

Good to watch with Ravel's Bolero playing .
Thanks for your video sound was super I love the machinery
Thanks for the video. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Hope you had a great year so far can't wait 2018 brings have a great evening
That's a lot of solid
That's a lot of sialage .where do you ship it too?
I've followed you a long while on instagram.. This is my first time seeing your UA-cam videos

Very good audio love it. Making a hill video thank you
It would be nice to see this same pile later on when they start feeding it
I recently shot a video here this spring of them chopping triticale and first cutting and the pile is half gone now. I will hopefully get that video edited in the next few weeks.
Great video!
That was excellent, thank you , I had a question, if I may, I noticed when they were working on the stack, a payloader was mixing a load of feed, did you happen to catch any of that?, anyway, thanks again
How much will one truck be able to haul in one load?
Now that's a mountain of silage!

seriously impressive stuff
What are the dimensions of this pile and how many acres of corn went into it?
I wonder how many rabbits get chopped up. You can seevthem running away but some run back into the corn.
Mike what brand of drone do you use? The same question...How did you get the sound of the harvesters from the drone and suppress the actual drone sound itself?

Do they ever lose a tractor over the side? Looks like they need to be very carful.
How do they keep that green silage from over heating?
how many tonnes does the truck load?
How many cows does this dairy have?
Nice Video but why they are chopping only 8 or 9 rows
Get a stock of corn 8 to 9 feet high and cut it up in pieces 1/4 inches long, assuming 8 feet that will be 384 cuts, each one requires a significant amount of energy. Even with the 600 plus horsepower motor, the machine is likely power limited.

Tony I seen the same thing
i Love to se US Farmer work with German Harvesters ;-)
คุญทํางานได้ไว้มากๆมันน่าทึ่งเยี่ยมไปเลย
