    Nice Video Kip . Yes you should keep the Tractor as straight as possible under the dump trailer . Esp with wet corn . Just in case one side hangs up a little . And no 2 loads dump the same . I pulled a dump trailer over 48 years with all kinds of loads . High wind is not your friend when you got one in the air ether ! I do know your limited on space around the barns . 👍👍

    When my brother and I (2nd generation), took over in the early 70's, we put up a harvestor silo . The first 2 years we had the same gehl machine you are using. Only we ground up ear corn. Made great feed. After that we only put up high moisture corn.. It made more sense for our feeding program at the time. By the way, why did yous have that silo a little higher than the other 4.Love your channel.Good luck with your arthritis. I inherited the same thing from my father, but not as bad as what you have.

    We used to do high moisture corn with a Gleaner combine we had a screen that we put in there for high moisture corn to put more cob in with the corn don't John Deere have one for their machines you get a lot better feed that way and it does pack

  • @gregkoenig9200

  • @scotcoon1186
    @scotcoon1186 Рік тому

    I think that grinder blower does have a chopper cutterhead in it. More like a complete cutterhead housing with brackets to make it feed into a blower.
    Pretty efficient way to build it- raid the existing parts bins.

    We use the snapper head off the combine on our harvester, I suspect it sort of ends up very much like what your end product would look like, but we don't need the combine, and the processor is right in the harvester.

    Thanks for another great video Kip.
    It was interesting and enjoyable.
    Like the new hat you have out. Nice looking.
    That truck trailer you have with the stainless steel bed is great to have. That was not cheap to build. You can get grain out of it easier. Nice rig you have.
    The blower you have to get grain in the silo is an old timer. Works great. Sometimes the old equipment works better than the new stuff.
    Great teamwork from everyone getting the grain in the silo. My compliments to all of you for your teamwork.
    The drone footage today was outstanding. Love the drone footage film. Great to see. Thanks for doing that.
    Hello to young man grant. He is really growing. Will be quite the guy on the farm.
    Agree with you Kip to stand away from the blower grinder. Very dangerous piece of equipment. Be really careful!!!!!!!!’
    Thanks for the good maintenance on your equipment. Runs a lot longer that way.
    About it for now.
    You all take care and be safe.
    Looking forward to the next video.
    Thanks for everything Kip.

    • @KipSieglerFarming1
      @KipSieglerFarming1  Рік тому

      We thought about it, but the combine is faster

    • @jeeveswooster6922
      @jeeveswooster6922 Рік тому +1

      They don’t have a kernel processor on the chopper. You have to set the processor really close to grind the corn but it is way faster than a combine because even with a 6 or 8 row head on a small chopper it still isn’t at capacity because their isn’t much going through besides the ear!

  • @shealy265

    Wet corn versus earlage? Can your chopper handle earlage? Other dairymen seem to like the fiber of the cob in their MTR mix of feed. Just curious.
