Thanks for the invite. As i was raised on the farm, this brings back a LOT of memories and enjoy the video and having you take the time to show how things are done out there.
looks like some great videos especially for teaching producers and consumers in 1st grade. The children need to see how real people around the country live and work. It is good for them to see where our crops come from. I'm glad you sent me an invite. Good job!
I grew up on the farm however it was too small to support my family. Always figured I'd farm for a living but it didn't happen. Today I own a high tech company selling Disc duplication equipment but a big part of me is still on the farm. Your video makes me long for that life I couldn't have. Thanks for documenting the work for others to understand.
Loved the video. Thanks for inviting me. I live in farming country in Arkansas and I love it. We have wheat, soybeans, and corn. But our biggest crop is Rice. We are the largest rice producers in the country I have heard. Live in a very small town of 725. Would love to see Wisconsin one day. Visiting every state is on my bucket list. Thanks for the video.
Very good , thanks for the invite. While we do not do silage...we did put up over 600 big round bales and a few hundered idiot bales. Working on staw now if we are not picketing or combining beans.
Awesome. You're the salt of the earth. We used to have a farm . I used to enjoy the sound of the hay baler in the morning. That was when they did the small bales....it had this cha chunka chunk sound ,something like that. : )
Thank you very much Ryan ...excellent vid ! I`m on a farm in Alberta , Canada , and love to see farming vids from everywhere ! Nice 4440 ! Cheers , Greg and Sandra
smiling at the 'old green tractor' comments. I am used to running narrow front IHC Farmall H and M's 4020s without cabs and 4620s with non existant sound proofing :) Last harvest I got my tractor front windscreen blown out by a Semi Driver who decided 60 mph on gravel meeting a tractor pulling wagons was a great idea.
Hello, I do not know how you found me, but I love agricultural machinery, I graduated in electrical engineering and work with Pivot for almost all Brazilian states in automated irrigation facilities, Due to my work I fell in love with everything in the world of large farms
We had an old JD 830 we used for the blower, pretty much the loudest tractor made, I think. ;) I see you're using hair pins, that is a good idea. We used a rope and pulley and no hairpin so the operator could drop the wagon, essentially, on the fly. although if it was too much on the fly, you had to dig the hitch out of the ground. ;)
I have an idea, you're in a tractor, pull over when someone is behind you. You travel at 17 MPH, they can go many times faster. If you will yield, then it won't be a problem people passing " in noooo passing zones". Something that drives me crazy is operators who watch 5 or 6 cars pile up behind them and have plenty of shoulder but continue right down the middle. Before we quit farming, that was something we ALL did we pulled over and let the faster traffic go by. It only takes a second.
Well, Ryan, I see you're running older, practical and affordable machinery. I have a 4850 for the light implements and it's a good ol' machine. You can buy 'em at auctions all day long for $25K. I see all these kids today running 8120s to 8360s and wonder how that pencils unless they're farming 5 - 6,000 paid for acres. I have two old Steigers - 400 HP and 525 HP that can compete with any of the modern developments that cost $300K plus. So from SW Oklahoma: Stay practical, Ryan!
good vid, and i hear you about people passing, theres two types of idiots the ones that pass not caring whats coming and the ones that wont pass no matter how much room you give them and they force a train to be stuck behind you. you have some really nice shots in this vid btw
Where is your farm? It is interesting to see how you chop silage there. Here (in the Central Valley of California) we keep the chopper moving on the field. The chopped hay or corn is blown into 3 or 4 silage trucks that rotate from the field to the silage storage. A lot of silage is put in long "ag-bags" and a lot is put into a giant pile covered with plastic and tires. I enjoyed watching your video.
its like looking at another world. so glad i did and sad i am ignorant of this way of life. it seems so necessary i should witness this. thank you. keep it up.
Good video! By the way, in Canada (dont know if it the same for all provinces, but..) you can pass a slow moving vehicule if it have an orange triangle even if its a no passing zone. But i agree that some people do stupid thing on the road, especially when its time to pass slower vehicules, or when its time to get passed. ;)
That's old school silage cutting. Around here No one does their own silage work any more. it's all custom work with the big cutters and trucks. It's all green cutting though in corn or feed milo.
Ryan, I know this is an old video, and you've addressed the idea of getting back into chopping forage in other videos. Do you anticipate chopping corn, hay, or both in the future for your beef herds? Given that you round bale your alfalfa and grass hay, would you be more inclined to chop corn than hay?
great video man! looks like you have some good conditions over there, in the north east england where i am we have no such luck!especially at the moment! and i totally agree about the over taking, it's almost as if people seem to think they'll be stuck behind my tractor forever!! anyway, i really enjoyed your video, good stuff! ^_^
Ok, so what do you do when you're about to turn left, you signal, but you're hauling a silage wagon behind you, and a car stays right in your blind spot until they are ready to pass. Which, by the way, in our location using rear view mirrors are only effective for a hundred feet or so because the road is not a straight shot from one farm to another. I'm not against passing, just in no passing zones, where in our area it is deadly to pass in such an area.
Great vidio ! I always loved farming and watching it happen. My dad sold and serviced Cockshut/ White tractors and New Holland implements and my uncle had a dairy farm across the road beside my dads bussiness. I like the John Deere !!! Nice !! By the way where are you located ? Thanks for sharing it with me. Gord
although i have nothing to do with agriculture i think its really impressive how large the even smaller fields in the US are, compared to European ones
Hi Ryan. It`s nice to see all that blue sky, Our sky is permanantly gray. I thought for a while that you were working hard, but that`s not work, is it, that`s fun. The dust risers there, here there is nothing but mud. I live in the heart of the farming community, following a tractor along a country road the car get`s covered in mud, although it could be something nastier flying up off of it`s huge wheel`s.( let`s not go there.) Are you all arable or do you do the milking also.
Is the conveyor on the wagon powered by hydraulics? Can't you run longer hoses to the tractor and not have to unhook the chopper since you are close to the silo anyway. Would save you a good bit of time.
The drivers of cars are a lot different too. They never look for turn signals and always try to pass just when you're turning left. If you signal a car to come around you're liable for the consequences. I pull over when it works but the biggest problem is that the first car behind the tractor ALWAYS follows too close so can't see around you so cars pile up behind the tractor. It's the driver of the first car that's the problem, not the tractor operator.
Cool your videos, I really liked it, though you told me that I would enjoy! Sorry for the english wrong, do not speak English, I am Brazilian, so I picked up the English words of the translator. But its really cool videos, I really enjoyed He spoke, a hug
True that. These kind of statements are always reminding me of an ad in a newspaper that said hunters should be ashamed of themselves because they kill for food, and that the should buy meat in the store, where (actual quote) ''the meat was produced and no animals were harmed.'' Still the wrong brand though, if it's not blue it can't be cool. [/cartmanvoice]
lol some people are plan dumb :) I was carting 12 bales of silage through town and 2 people walked right in front of me while I was turning into another road...talk about slam on the anchors going at least 20knh
You misread my post. The car behing the tractor is too close so the THE DRIVER OF THE CAR can't see around the tractor. It a basic matter of geometry: the angle is too great because the car is too close so the driver has to pull way too far out into the passing lane to see around the tractor. The responsibility for passing is the driver of the car mot the tractor operator. Just as no cyclist, even those riding two and three abreast is going to signal cars to pass. It's no different.
Thanks for the invite. As i was raised on the farm, this brings back a LOT of memories and enjoy the video and having you take the time to show how things are done out there.

Man it’s crazy to see how much your videos have improved over the years. And also how you’ve stuck with this channel with perseverance. Keep at it!
Very good , thanks for the invite. While we do not do silage...we did put up over 600 big round bales and a few hundered idiot bales. Working on staw now if we are not picketing or combining beans.
Great video and editing. Brings back memories of my grandparent's farm. Thanks, TH
Awesome. You're the salt of the earth. We used to have a farm . I used to enjoy the sound of the hay baler in the morning. That was when they did the small bales....it had this cha chunka chunk sound ,something like that. : )
Very nice to see how silaging is done across the pond
Thanks for getting in touch. I subscribed. Great quality mate!
Thank you very much Ryan ...excellent vid ! I`m on a farm in Alberta , Canada , and love to see farming vids from everywhere ! Nice 4440 ! Cheers , Greg and Sandra
Farmers and farming rarely get the credit it deserves!

Yes, they actually hold their own a lot better than one would think.
Nice setup with the 4440
Those gehl 980's have to be one of the best forage wagons ever buit
Awesome video, i miss chopping Hay and Corn...one day again will have a farm!!!
Man, wish I could come help you all drive for a week. A 4440, now that is what I need haha.
We had an old JD 830 we used for the blower, pretty much the loudest tractor made, I think. ;)
I see you're using hair pins, that is a good idea.
We used a rope and pulley and no hairpin so the operator could drop the wagon, essentially, on the fly. although if it was too much on the fly, you had to dig the hitch out of the ground. ;)
Thanks! The positive comments really compels me to make more!
I own a 1951 John Deere B. That probably would pull those wagons full no problem

this guys makes farming epic lol great vid man
I used a gehl skid steer for snow removal for a few years nice machine.

I do not know completely what you do with a tractor ... and these other various such. But I like your involvement! :) Keep it up! And ofc paw up!
The 970's are excellent as well. We've got both a 980 and a 970 plus 2 H&S 7+4 HD's
Good video, interesting to see how things are done in different parts of the world.
We use to have a 4640 by far strongest tractor weve ever had.
4440 small tractor to chop with we use a 8300 and 7+4 new holland chopper boxes and haul with a 7320 and bag with a 7810
its like looking at another world. so glad i did and sad i am ignorant of this way of life. it seems so necessary i should witness this. thank you. keep it up.

When ur bored at night u go back to these flashback daya
Where are you farming?
nice lookin tractors that 4440 is may farvorite
we do mostly silage in ireland and i bet our tractors are way smaller too!
That's old school silage cutting. Around here No one does their own silage work any more. it's all custom work with the big cutters and trucks. It's all green cutting though in corn or feed milo.
Nice videos man. And 2:00, amen to that. I don't know why people think they can pass tractors on a solid yellow, pissed me off then people do that.
Excellent video, thanks for making it.

Great Video never seen a set-up like this before, believe it or not! Subbed and Added as friend!

I like the John Deere !!! Nice !! By the way where are you located ?
Thanks for sharing it with me.

We run a 4450 on our jd chopper, haul wagons with a 7400 and run the blower with a 4000. Is that John Deere wagon a 716A or a 716?
Why wasn't the grass raked? Nice video! :)
love them old deere's! keep on choppin!
although i have nothing to do with agriculture i think its really impressive how large the even smaller fields in the US are, compared to European ones
I bet Ryan wishes he still had all this in 2021!
What Model harvester are you guys using ? we had a 3950 I think but switched over to a Case 8750
Nice

Nice chopping! Thanks for this vid.
Oh, those CRAZY drivers!!! XD
You're cute too! :)
Great video mate :) I like your style :D

Yep! that's why it was nice.
Nicely made vid,,
This must all be before the big auction you speak about
Is the conveyor on the wagon powered by hydraulics? Can't you run longer hoses to the tractor and not have to unhook the chopper since you are close to the silo anyway. Would save you a good bit of time.
I agree, kids need to know that food comes from farms, not supermarkets, if you get my drift.
Nice vid!

If you signal a car to come around you're liable for the consequences.

Hellow from Russia and respect!
What is the degree of moisture into that Hay?
Cool your videos, I really liked it, though you told me that I would enjoy!
Sorry for the english wrong, do not speak English, I am Brazilian, so I picked up the English words of the translator.
But its really cool videos, I really enjoyed
He spoke, a hug

Nice silage video
SAME HERE ONE PERSON PAST ME RIGHT WHEN WE WHERE GOING TO GO THROUGH S BRIDGE
John deere is for the real ones!
The 4440 was introduced 35 years ago
Great videos man thanks for suggesting them to me .. I'm guessing in the northeast? perhaps Ohio?
True that. These kind of statements are always reminding me of an ad in a newspaper that said hunters should be ashamed of themselves because they kill for food, and that the should buy meat in the store, where (actual quote) ''the meat was produced and no animals were harmed.''
Still the wrong brand though, if it's not blue it can't be cool. [/cartmanvoice]
Muy Bueno !!! Buen estado de las maquinas
Is it me or you seem to have more dust than silage when you're chopping?
Wow you were very young in this video!
Nice video, thank you to share it with me
Nice Video ! Perfect
