This one was filmed by my friend Gordy Schultz. It was cool he got to catch this big blue chopping team. I do enjoy getting to film farming action in the snow.
@@bigtractorpower will there be a chance of some 60s power, like Ford 3000s, 4000s, and 5000s? I know it's hard to find them working but it would be cool, my channel icon is of a Ford 4000
Nice videos as allways. Looks like all of the US have a tough farming season this year. To all of u farmers a cross the globe MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND BETTER NEW YEAR. "Dirty hands clean money"/ Johan in Sweden
You can hear that big silage chopper motor lug down in tough spots, then recover and pull back up to revs. What a machine! You have to hand it to those wagon drivers keeping up with the silage stream while trying to see out those snowy cab windows. Good Job!
Sadly this is a reality for a lot of Wisconsin farmers this year. A tough end to a tough year. It’s hard to call this stuff silage, it’s more like corn fodder with ground Cobb mixed in. Pretty cool to see corn chopping in the snow, I know I’ve never seen that before. Thanks for the video
They may have to run some kind of molasses supplement with the silage to increase the palatability. I did that in a year that alfalfa hay was very short. Used a lot of ground wheat straw with a molasses based protein supplement, a reduced amount of ground alfalfa hay and corn silage and the cows lapped it up like candy. Used up the straw and didn't have to buy hay. I wasn't dairy though, had stock cows. Great NH chopper in the video, gets a lot done!
As a Farmer myself and who grows corn regularly, I can feel the frustration of the owners in the video, Im sure they wanted to harvest with a combine for the grain only but time catched up and they ended up chopping the corn if not the whole crop would go to waste in a heavier snow storm. Well that is my guess. Hope they get a better following year.
This video brings back way to many memories of my fall custom chopping 😖 I will say the 6850 did look pretty sharp in the snow but was no fun cleaning up when I was done. Snow and mud make a chopper a real mess real fast.
Ah, the memories of doing field work in the cold, snowy Wisconsin weather. Spent many days picking corn in January when it was -20F (not windchill!) because we had to wait for the water & mud under the ice which the snow insulated. Those cornstalks kinda "exploded" when you hit them with the New Idea picker points and alot of trash went thru the machine.
Come up too North Dakota around March maybe there are 1000000s of thousands of acres of corn sitting in 2 ft of snow here and a lot of guys hoping they can get it off before it muds up
Our silage guys run a pair of Penta's and this year when they pulled into the feed yard my neighbor was adamant that they had broken their back axles......he couldn't wrap his head around tri-axles with rear-steer, lol. We got to minus 43c already this month.
Boy what pain working in that kind of weather . I sure hope the feeds fermentation process works properly for you. Good feed is very important. Thank you for the video update eh.
We had a canvis heat houser on our Oliver 1750. If you pluged all but the botton 3 holes in the grill it actually got warm enough to melt the snow off of your shoes.
Dad: "Damn it boys this wet corn wont dry, go get the freaking silage cutter and wagons, we will feed it to the cows and walk it off the farm. This ain't my first rodeo".
Farming is not for sissies. I love the farmers who defy markets and weather to keep this the most productive, best fed, healthiest nation in the history of mankind. If Americans are hungry the rest of the damned world will be starving to death. Never underestimate real Americans and their resolve, especially American Farmers. They are the best!
My goodness that's awful to be chopping in weather like that. But like you said when the cows are hungry they have to be fed. Codoes on the video BTP 🚜👍
We had our corn baled this year after combining...it's been a month and they are now steaming hot and smelling sweet. Cows are dropping the hay until they are filled. Lots of waste but very cheap bedding at -20.
i talked to my crop insurance agent this morning he told me a couple of his clients up northern wisc had to buy 50000 bs corn to feed their dairy cows because with 1.5 ft of snow is covering mud preventing it from freezing ,the keep getting combines and grain buggies stuck.
We did this late chopping one year. Not necessarily good feed for dairy cows. No protein or nutrition in the stalk. Was this put in bunker or upright silo?
I don't understand how you are able to make silage that will ferment when it's that dry. I grew up on a dairy farm and we had a real mess one year when we chopped corn late. It molded instead of fermenting, even in an upright silo.
Me too. I keep telling my friend Mike Less we need a Versatile dealer where I live in Western Kentucky. I do hope to get a stealth Deltatrac filmed in Wisconsin next spring.
It’s been a tough year across this entire country weatherwise we got our combine buried on muck land The day before Thanksgiving it took two days and a lot of big equipment to get it out my wife took a video of it ua-cam.com/video/1_xIYjkrFZs/v-deo.html
You want corn silage to be high in moisture. Normally peak time is at 65% moisture. Unfortunately this corn field has dried out but it will still make feed.
Thank you for going out in Wisconsin in the snow for your UA-cam channel

It was a fun filming opportunity.
Great Video BTP thanks for sharing
Thanks again B T P , great vid. New Holland has always put there name o some tough farm equipment.
Hi Jason ! Intresting to se so many different conditions in your videos, Thank you and Merry Christmas from Sweden !!
Can’t get enough of that Blue ty BTP
Go big blue. I have several Ford and New Holland videos on the way.

Andy at farming fabricating and fixing in Syracuse NY is dealing with snow for there harvest for there dairy cows
I grew up in WNY and know Syracuse well. Snowy falls make harvest tough. Always enjoy seeing WNY from Andy and Mike 7810.

Is it low test weight corn?

I was just looking at a vid of a new chopper and it has said it was the most powerful farm machine made, has over 1100 horsepower!
Well some of the krones have v12 Mann engines or twin inline 6s
Cold work finishing up. Nice equipment, nice farmland🚜🎅🎄👍

I hope all your cab heaters are working well, stay warm!
Snow ang agrigulture👍👍👍👍super
Likely going on the frozen ground right? Sadly a lot of the nutritional value is gone by now but you do what you can. Thanks for the video!
Beautiful Footage
Thank you for watching.
Hope they are running a processor. That's some dry corn.
Edwin Yoder They can cut way down on their dry matter.
Becky Watt how efficient... 🙄
We have harvested corn that colour that’s over 70% moisture
Corn sure is standing well.
Awesome video!

Thank you for watching.
All I can say is thank God that that they have cabs on equipment now that would suck if you’re running an open station in that kind of weather
It makes it better. I have an IH brochure on the 806 from the 60’s that shows two 806s chopping in the snow with plastic heathousers on them. Brrrrr
I ran a tractor with a "heater" house (notice the quotation marks) and if it actually felt warmer, it was probably due to the placebo effect.
We had a canvis heat houser on our Oliver 1750. If you pluged all but the botton 3 holes in the grill it actually got warm enough to melt the snow off of your shoes.
@@eb17816 And it did cut the wind as well, well in three directions anyway. Definitely better than nothing.

Yes indeed. It’s amazing how much cows like stalklage.
Hi Bigtractorpower
That's crazy😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I bet there glad of the cabs .
At least they aren’t fighting the mud!
Wait for an up coming video. Lots of mud to see.
I think it’s still mud even when it’s frozen lol
The mud was enviable this year unfortunately. It was nice to see one video with machines with clean tires.
i talked to my crop insurance agent this morning he told me a couple of his clients up northern wisc had to buy 50000 bs corn to feed their dairy cows because with 1.5 ft of snow is covering mud preventing it from freezing ,the keep getting combines and grain buggies stuck.
How many times a day are the knives sharpened. Damn that's got to be seriously dry hard material.
Greetings from England
We did this late chopping one year. Not necessarily good feed for dairy cows. No protein or nutrition in the stalk. Was this put in bunker or upright silo?
How does it turn out coming out of a bunk?
👍👍
So does the silage lose any nutritional value when they chop it that late, after it’s started to dry down?
It does but it still has value. Some feed is better than none.
Thanks!
Is there much food value left when the corn is that dry? Just curious.
It is not ideal but it has value. Not much choice put to harvest it and get what can be got.
it still has all the grain from the cob so yes it still has protein value in the pasture.
It might not be for milk cows but great for dry cows and heifers and hay is scarce so at least they got some forage
What county im from rock County
I don't understand how you are able to make silage that will ferment when it's that dry. I grew up on a dairy farm and we had a real mess one year when we chopped corn late. It molded instead of fermenting, even in an upright silo.
It’s not ideal but I guess it provides some feed rather none.
How many degrees out in the field?
25 degrees.
I’d love to see some Versatile equipment please
Me too. I keep telling my friend Mike Less we need a Versatile dealer where I live in Western Kentucky. I do hope to get a stealth Deltatrac filmed in Wisconsin next spring.
@@bigtractorpower~ AMEN to that
sub his channel too!
Do you farm ?
I do not. I am just a farm equipment fan.
Those were really some tough harvesting conditions
Not ideal but the Forage Cruiser powers right through it.

we need a dump of that snow to put all of our terrible bush fires out over here ASAP.
✌️✌️
Thank you for watching.
I would think that corn would be too dry for silage....????
Must have gotten to the point of saying "eff the drying costs of wet corn".
They actually would have wanted to harvest this green at 65% but the weather has it at 32% in the grain but dry stalks.
Seems to be very dry för silage
It is but there is no choice. The fall stayed too wet until now to chop it.
It's way to dry to use as silage
You want corn silage to be high in moisture. Normally peak time is at 65% moisture. Unfortunately this corn field has dried out but it will still make feed.
@@bigtractorpower yes it will but! But cow's get very little out of it an milk drops way off
