Man knows his way around a camera, I mean those are the greatest shots I've ever seen...Thanks a lot Mike for the detailed info on every piece of equipment...
You never disappoint! The King of corn silage videos. No one else is even close. Hope you enjoyed snowmobiling this winter with your son. Looked like a ton of fun.
Mike, between your silage vids and The Hartung Family Farms. You have completely changed the way I play Farming Sim, instead of smashing out massive fields of wheat and canola (like the Montana boys.) I now play a beef cattle farm, feeding of corn silage
Mike you are the King of agriculture drone shots. I saw a scene with the tractors on the silage pile looked like an Ant hill. I like Mike. Happy subscriber 😊! 40 minutes, seemed like at lot less. Time flies when you are having fun.
Nice video Mike! I have always wondered, if tracks equal less compaction, why do some outfits pack their bunks with tracked tractors? Maybe when it comes to packing silage there's not that big of difference? I realize that you use what you have to work with. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey mike! You should try to get to vaness dairy in northwest iowa during silage harvest! We have 2 John deer 9900i choppers with a lot of case stiegers and magnums on the pile! You could get some great shots!
Awesome video. Do you think very many realize the God awful undertaking that dairy farmers put themselves through so that we all have milk at all times???
Have you ever recorded when they first started an empty bunker? I would like to see it when it just starts to see how they compact it at first. We always see it almost full.
Hi Mike great video. I have one question, why do they use a quadtrac to pack silage? Seems like depreciating a more expensive tractor that doesn’t pack as well as wheels ??
Mike, thanks for another great video. I wonder about the two farms working together on silage. This would be beneficial if their two crops became ready at different times. Is there another reason?
I was wondering about using Quadtracs on silage piles. I see a lot of farms do it, but is the per sq in. weight a lot less than other wheeled vehicles, or is the overall weight enough to do the best compaction job on the pile? I'm just wondering because of the big deal made about cutting down on soil compaction with tracks. Just a curious inquiry.
The track had a wider and bigger footprint and from everyone tells me that packs silage with a track tractor tells me you push more air out and leave a nicer finish on the pile.
Do those forage harvesters have a camera system to help direct the stream or is it strictly eyeball? Seems like trouble to drive forward while always looking to the side.
Questions for you Mike in regards to the tractors and wagons. We run a couple of silage trucks here in Colorado and I have always been intrigued with the idea of using one of the tractors we already have and getting a wagon to haul with. Does this operation and the crews you have filmed with wagons only use them close to the silage pile? Were the wagons what was used back in the day and they just kept them in use? How far away from the pile does it make sense to use wagons before a truck is more efficient?
Thanks, Most of the farms that I film that run wagons are working within 10 miles or so of the farm. Some do go farther that that and I know one crew that is running the JCB Fastrac tractors and can really move along from field to farm.

Yes, I did a video of them mowing and raking triticale last spring. Link to that video is at the very end of this video. Hoping to get there for corn silage one of these years.
But the tracks have a big wide footprint and push more air out. Like most farms that pack with a track tractor will tell you once you do it and see the end result you’d never go back.
@@farmhandmike that explains a lot. I packed with a 4450 with duals in the back and front assisted single in the front. The front would pack the edges better than the rears.
Odd. When these tracked tractors are in the field they’re designed to avoid compaction BUT when they’re on the silage pile they’re designed to creat compaction. Funny world, what? Puzzling………🙄

What a slick operation. 2 choppers, a lot of carts, 3 big blades pushing , and a quad packing. Action a-plenty. Thanks Mike, you never disappoint.

Great Video!! Love watching the tandem axle straight trucks!!

Great Video Mike, impressive silage operation, thanks for sharing
All the silage!
And the cows will munch that in no time... 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
cool vid, thanks Mike,. hey that meal time stuff is a result of good planning and is SUPER critical to a good video :)
Corn silage 2022 already wow lol great vid mike!!
Awesome shot where there running side by side
Two farms working together is always great to see😁👍 nice corn silage video👍👍
There really is a wide array of equipment. Thanks Mike 👍.
Mike that is a nice video. Amazing amount of HP building huge silage pile.
Awesome to see a farm just a few miles down the road be done!

Very great new video on the farm again
Hi Mike you've come a long way from back in the day really superb thanks again 👍👍🏴
Enjoyed it. Love silage videos. Good job Mike…….

So fast on the reaction to my comment. That is one reason I like Mike.
Impressive! I pull a little silage off every year for on farm use, but nothing that would justify that type of investment.
One of the best corn silence videos I’ve ever seen and I think this is the best one yet that you have done Mike thanks
One of the best I’ve ever watched Thanks Mike !! 😎
Living the dream. Cool video!
Great video as usual Mike 👍/Steve from sweden
Love all your content, but the silage chopping is always my favorite, well done!
Nice Mike.....visual overload....!!!!
A 2 plus hour long video of corn silage would be awesome. Great video Mike. Keep up the good work.
Great vídeo Mike.
Great video Mike

I'd be up for that. Keep in touch.
@@farmhandmike ok
Great awesome video mike
Yes another Mike less video on RUclips, from the imperial co California.
Nice video mike
Awesome video as usual the longer the videos are the better
real Nice video mike
Awesome video. Do you think very many realize the God awful undertaking that dairy farmers put themselves through so that we all have milk at all times???
Music is OK here, Mike.👌
How much in Fuel per Day at $8.00 per gallon??🙄 nice shots!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
why is it that the cormforage harvester chop is green and the corn that combines harvest yellowish brown
Huge pile about how long will that last feeding the cows if they didn't add to it
L S W do a good job like tracks they leave a smoother surface and push the air out almost better than duals and usually are just about as heavy
Maravilloso 😍 trabajo 👏👏👏👏
Have you ever recorded when they first started an empty bunker? I would like to see it when it just starts to see how they compact it at first. We always see it almost full.
Hi Mike great video. I have one question, why do they use a quadtrac to pack silage? Seems like depreciating a more expensive tractor that doesn’t pack as well as wheels ??
Nice operation, but why use a tracked machine to pack with and I would think take the dual wheels off. More pounds per square inch. Would pack denser.
That is some serious corn chopping 😳

@@farmhandmike That makes sense. I mean flat is flat and those wide tracks make stuff flat. Thanks Mike!
I'm surprised the Claas could slow enough for the deer to keep up.
Would be interesting to see them tarp it and put the tires on afterwards.
Good Black green corn🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🚜🚜🚜🚜👍👍👍🍿🍿🍿🍿
Corn chopping is kinda like a big eraser cleaning off the canvas for next years painting. Just don't get old does it.........
Both farm's are pretty cool you should go to rufeners when they're hauling shit they don't mess around
Do those forage harvesters have a camera system to help direct the stream or is it strictly eyeball? Seems like trouble to drive forward while always looking to the side.
Most of it is operator but I think some do have a sensor eye on the spout.

Keep fiming the chopper cutting corn
Ware Is That Located At In Ohio?
This farm is up around Akron

Little surprising to see a quad track packing instead of pushing, especially with such wide tracks.
Have you filmed at Royer farm?
Yes, I did a video of them mowing and raking triticale last spring. Link to that video is at the very end of this video. Hoping to get there for corn silage one of these years.
I can't understand tracks on a pile! Tracks big advantage is less compaction and a silage pile is the one place you want compaction!
But the tracks have a big wide footprint and push more air out. Like most farms that pack with a track tractor will tell you once you do it and see the end result you’d never go back.

Do you need a farm hand
Hi I'm Lj from Philippines do you have hiring
👍👍🚜. 🙋♂️👉🇹🇭
Those Cases are some big sons of a gun

Thanks, I think it’s just a matter of getting the silage pile built and covered asap.
