- Chopping & Bagging Corn Silage near Lancaster Pennsylvania
In this video I am out at a family dairy farm near Strasburg Pennsylvania as they are having a custom crew chop and bag corn silage for their dairy herd.
Several different machines in this video.
Claas Jaguar 870 self propelled forage harvester
Case IH 8950 Magnum Tractor pulling an Artsway forage box
Case IH 7140 Magnum Tractor pulling an Artsway forage box
John Deere 4840 Tractor pulling a Miller Pro forage box
And a Deutz Fahr 9340 Warrior Tractor hooked to a Versa Silage Bagger. The Deutz Fahr 9340 Tractor was sold by Iron Advantage from East Earl Pennsylvania and I was out here with them for this video.
I recorded this video in October of 2023.

Great video, Mike! Please send anyone who is looking for a new Versa Bagger our way!
Thanks for the setting up and tearing down the bags. Never knew how it was done
Cool to see how switching bags looks like😉👍 nice chopping video👍👍
PA local here! Been looking for someone with a big operation! Thank you for this
I always wonder how the bagging process works. Great video Mike👍
That was very nice Mike. I liked seeing the end and beginning of the bagging process.
You’re in the heart of Amish country, good video Mike
thanks mike your in my back yard. know the farm well
Another great video. The bag part was really nice.
Thanks Mike, nice video. We have bagged grass and corn for 40 years.
Love seeing old school big 2wd tractors. Awesome video.
Great drone video.The whole. was great. very educatioal 👍
Hey that's my neighbors bagger! 😂 Thanks for getting some PA farming footage!
It was really cool to watch them finish and then start a bag. Those old Case tractors were so good looking, especially compared to the things they are putting out today at Case.
Thanks it was interesting how they put a new bag on never seen before 😊
Love seeing all the chopping videos takes when I was milking cows we never had self propell just pull type mostly blew in upright silos
Jesse at Restoration Tractor sales sold us that 8950 (7250 pro) probably back around 2014? and we sold it last spring when we reduced the tractor herd after switching to beef/crops from our previous entity
Just saw your post on RP!
Love that 4840… great video Mike… that 7130 sounded nice with the pipe…
Awesome video that 4840 looks sweet with the big rubber on the back
Beautiful farming country. I've been in that area several times over the years. The folks take a lot of pride in their farms. Land is scarce and expensive, so they utilize every available acre. Interesting to see how they set up and complete a bag.
Some farmers use those bags for grain storage also, only negative is deer and racoons, etc will tear holes in them to get to the grain. LOL They give you glue on patches to do repairs to keep water from getting into the grain and rotting it. Love those Claas choppers, they really do a nice job. Thanks Mike !
Thank you Mike for another great video .I never get tired of watching your videos glad to see you came to Lancaster County pa glad to see the bagging machine in action in this video . I always loved filling those silage bags silage smells so good when it is totally fermented after 21 days .
My aunt used to fill 8 x200 ft bag .
In somerset County PA when she had the dairy cows 🐄 .
I miss those days so much .
Again mike thank you for all the work you do to put these videos together .
Nice video 👍
Enjoyed the video Mike
Very interesting video, Mike, especially showing how they start a new bag. I never saw bags like this before watching farming videos. We didn't use them in northeast Indiana where I helped farm back in the 60's. I chisel plowed with a JD 4840 back in the 80's. I certainly enjoy your videos, especially the drone footage!😊
Nice Green Eye.
Hey mike, just talked to my dad, you came to arcanum high school not that long ago and I had no idea you were my neighbor 😂 I lived right next door on butler township road I think it was called, can’t believe I didn’t know it was you. Congrats on everything man. I used to go behind your shed and look at all the deer skulls.
Okay cool, I know you probably don't want to say on here but who is your dad? I don't recognize your user name. You can email me is you want aa you got my curiosity.
I think I figured it out. Caleb is that you?
@@farmhandmike yup, that was me
@@chevelle8091 Okay Awesome and thanks for tuning into my channel.
I always wondered how the bagging thing was done.
Interesting,always wondered how the bags worked.
I like Mike less videos on RUclips from the imperial county California 👍🇺🇲🚜🚜🚜
I noticed there is no backstop or cables for the "packing" tension that kelly ryan and ag bag use is this a new system?
Our ID900N Versa Bagger uses our exclusive Density Belt System. No need for heavy backstops or long, dangerous cables.
I love your videos do you have any videos of pictures of fans of yours at Louisville
😎😎
David Allen Coe with no show Jones yeah pass that bottle around I've got the Rock from Detroit soul from Motown
Hey Mike what do they do with the plastic bags when they're emptied? Seems expensive and wasteful if they just go to a landfill. It seems like it would eventually be more economical to put up another silo not to mention a lot of hand labor just setting up the bagger.
I think the plastic on these gets recycled. Bagging silage like this give it a better feed value than an upright silo and upright silos are slow unloading, can be labor intense at times and the unloaders need maintenance. Also the gas let off in an upright silo can be very dangerous. There is a reason lots of guys got away from filling the upright silos.
What spacing was that corn planted?? Stubble rows seem closer together then 30”
Pretty sure 15” rows
Mike nice video do them bags ever break with z corn silage
Not very easily.
What was the field with all the white poles or pipes sticking up in it between the corn and the bag?
I'll have to go back and look.
I'm guessing those are small trees and just being protected with plastic around them.
Thanks, just looked interesting
