That, gentleman, is what makes farmers, outstanding in their field! Awesome concepts create awesome products! I can only wonder though, is it more valuable as biomass or it's feed value?
NoMerc Got to be dryyyy for that , we did that back in the 70s ,80s , worked pretty well, but in a round bale Wouldn't it ferment/ rot , it awful damp here in Michigan.It has also been mixed w/sawdust/wood shavings to make large wood pellets for heating and powerplants.
Becky Watt. After I watched this video I was reminded of others I had seen in the past of farmers overseas using bales of biomass to generate heat and electricity from a gasifier gasification system. It's quite ingenious.
Local company here in Manitoba does 5000 bales a year. They get 2 years out of their rakes and 3-4 years out of their balers( new H). Corn stalk is very abrasive and extremely flammable...I would want to back pack blow both machines morning and late afternoon. I'm assuming labor is the biggest cost savings...but only if the system's initial cost is on par with a rake and baler.
I am pretty sure the mods parts for the combine, blower and drawbar, would be available and you, the customer can use it your way. I would also do that and then ensile it in a pit, as per corn silage. In sweetcorn, the product would be much the same as corn silage, except no heads of corn of course.
Needs an accumulator as wide as the head to cut and collect the stalks on the ground. Then the baler could work as a normal baler. Small pony motor. Or an Amish style gear cart mounted on the thing would work.
Two down-sides that I see are; 1. The bales are constantly getting in the way of the grain cart operator on a subsequent pass... 2. You are leaving a lot of stubble behind that makes great bales. So it seems like a waste to me.

You forgot about bedding. A lot of farmers use corn stalks as bedding over the winter months.

where can i get more info about this product?

I thought a corn header only pulled the corn heads off, so most of straw is left on the ground. So baler must be not picking up much?
I would like to know if it's possible to order the blower only? We would rather pack into a silage bunker, rather than deal with bales.

I think a all row crop head would make better bales it would be like going over field after it was combined with a New Holland Disc cutter.
That probably saves a lot of money and wear and tear on machinery when you have to mow the field, take it up into swaths, and then bale it.
Make
This appears optimal during preferred conditions. Neat, if you can afford to?
Ohh no... the farming simulator 2019 modders have escaped again!
All I see is having to operate a grain cart through a maze
Cody Janssen Didn't think about that, we used to take and chop corn fodder for bedding back in the 80s , then went to sand and mats in the freestalls.
People still trying to invent the wheel, at a high cost !
There's a lot to go wrong!!

ua-cam.com/video/cnqKeOg9Gtw/v-deo.html - this is how its done! :D
and you probably wont be able to use the baler for anything else
Tons of fodder left behind.
@@zimmyplayz1755 as it doesn't have a pickup...and it would be too much material in small grains
This would be great for soybeans
