    In this video I am out at Three Flags Dairy Farm near Forest Ohio as they harvest their 2021 corn crop for silage for their dairy cow herd. They are chopping the corn silage in the field with their Krone Big X self propelled forage harvester and hauling the silage back to the pile at the dairy farm using a fleet of semi trucks and a Massey Ferguson Tractor and Penta dump wagon. Also in the video you will see a John Deere and New Holland tractor pushing and packing the silage pile.

    Every time I see those Penta wagons, I like them more and more. Oh of course. I forgot. 5 stars for Mike!

      That kind (but not that brand) is quite popular in Europe. Krampe, Joskin, Peecon, Kröger, Veenhuis and Perrard are popular examples. I've got a Hilken, but with just two axles.

    Good to know. Still, I'd adjust them to avoid wear and the noise. Then, if you hear something in a noisy tractor, you'll know to stop & check it out. Nothing works like a well-oiled (greased) machine. Love the big farm operation. Wow, Great video

      Well the scrapers need to be close to the disk blade but It only take a little flex in a blade or the gang and you get some rubbing.

    Just a question,how often do they replace knifes and do they sharpen in between on those big choppers.

    • @darrenkayes7911
      @darrenkayes7911 2 роки тому +1

      Depending on how many acres are chopped, you may change the blades once a year, and the harvesters have an inbuilt sharpening system, I used to sharpen ours at least once a day sometimes twice a day chopping maize/corn, and at least twice a day chopping grass silage, we used to take half the blades out to chop grass to get a longer length of cut (just what the farmers here in New Zealand wanted 44mm), used to cut maize at 17mm.

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  2 роки тому +1

      Darren answered your question but there are lots of factors that go into this. Not only is keeping the knives sharp important but keeping your shear bar adjusted up the knives very important. The life of the chopper knives also has things like if the crop has dirt on it that will really wear the knives faster and keeping rocks out of the machine. In corn you are usually running the head off of the ground high enough that its not an issue. But yes I would say most guys do sharpen knives everyday and then set up the shear bar. I believe this is all done automatic on most of todays machines.
