- Video from a year ago of first cutting hay (haylage) being chopped at New Holland Dairy near Bluffton Indiana. In this video is a Case IH 150 tractor pulling an Oxbo windrow merger. A Claas Jaguar 980 forage harvester, a John Deere 9230 tractor with a blade and a Deere 9520 packing the silage pile. Also a fleet of trucks pulling Meyer Boss silage trailers
Always good to see your material and it does give one pause to think about the contrast between last year and this one in terms of kindness to farmers, crops and a animals.
Cool to see a local place close by. Thanks yet again for another awesome video
That was still a really good video Mike. It may sound insane but that really makes me miss Dairy farming that much more.
Fantastic video nice footage thanks 👍
Awesome vid like always mike. You need to get to Syracuse New York and shoot some video of Hourigan Family Dairy. Andy’s CZcams is Farming Fixing and Fabricating he’s got an awesome operation and a new Mas silage trailer they just bought.
Nice vid mike 👍
You should make it out to central Kansas sometime where I live. There’s two feedlots within 3 miles of each other with around 50,000 head of cows. They have 3 970 claas choppers goin to a pit with 3-4 push tractors. And when they have to hall the silage a ways there’s 15-20 trucks going.
Tooop de mais parabéns pelo vídeo
some good equipment there ! was that a Massey tractor at the silage pit ?
What's that roller thing above the pickup for? And how fast in that chopper going while picking up those alfalfa swaths?
It keeps the crop down against the tines that are lifting it off the ground and propels it round in to the feeding mechanism aiding consistent even flow into the chopping cylinder. Before they were invented lumping occurred causing infuriating blockages of the header and in light crops the wind could catch it blowing it sideways as there was nothing for the tines to retain it against!
Are agriculture trucks exempt from weight restrictions? Guessing they are up there with wet forage?
What do they mow with?
I know you reply it depends on the farm but which is best for the cows to pack it down like this farm or to seal it in Plastic, or to silo it what is the best feed for the live stock
Clayton Lemieux I tend to believe you have more spoilage with bunkers than you do with traditional concrete upright silos or the Ag bags.
How much hay will that chopper chop every minute or a figure that we can understand?
Whats sialage for?
bonjour de la France dommage pas sous tritres pour traduction
Seems to me that it would be cheaper and more effective to get an older D9 to push around and compact the silage/haylage (not sure which one is correct) The D9 is heavier and can be purchased in decent shape for under 30k. I guess it would be kind of a one trick pony on the farm though.
Steel tracks would destroy the concrete
