@dkarre686 something is better then nothing to break up the residue. Fighting thru 2 foot stalk trash would be less the. Ideal come spring especially if I won't be disking that ground
So we're shredding stalks in 6 inches of snow making ruts and doing compaction and we're going to have to disc the ground in the spring anyways before plowing to fix the combine ruts. He said it, "less than ideal" but I'm sure we're in a good place now. The ground will all be frozen next week too. And no I'm not a keyboard warrior, I'm a farmer in the same state as Duffy.
Yea i dont see the benefit at this point in chopping stalks lol , waste of time and energy , if need be hit em in the spring or hit em with the disc ahead of beans
I am not critical of your equipment. I will say I us to farm 650 ac of hay. At frist when I started with older equipment, and was wrenching all the time. I took the leep and bought a new haybine, round baler, a newer sg baler , i had 2 JD 4020s and a 2750. And quickly went from 100 ac to 650ac and quickly made gòod profits. A d yes new equipment breaks down but not near as much.
I plowed snow for 15 years in an 89 F250 I bought used for 5K. Unless we got regular consistent snow every couple weeks, I lost money once I paid for commercial insurance. Of the 15 years I did it, I probably broke even, and never paid myself, just the truck. The truck paid for itself and all its maintenance. I just mostly did it to stay busy. No clue how these people with 80-100k pickup trucks survive today.
I saw a fieldworking light kit that was basically an erectable flag pole with five LED bars on it that'd run off of a generator or the tractor. My first thought was a pair mounted on a Budd or Rome etc. The LED were in strips up the side at the top instead of hanging out from the top.
Happy for you that the corn is finally done. My you sure have your share of problems but I am glad to see you have some excellent friends to help you. Treat them well they are worth their weight in gold. You do need to find yourself a good partner one who loves what you do and willing to tough out the rough times and be devoted to you just saying.
I really couldn't tell how steep that field is when you were combining. The views when you're stalk chopping I understand now why you plowed and harvested the way you did.
Taking the stalk that's 2 foot tall and bringing it to 6 inches which was the snow level doing well tho. Machine was not run hard thanks for a great comment
I don't know anything about about chopping stalks, but maybe, putting in a door on the other side of the barn for some of your short ( less than6' implements) have you thought about that) implements? Cut out the stantions fill in the manure rails on the cheap so you can utilize them being under roof. Keep the awesome content coming, keep n trucking on!
Seems like you could put some smaller implements or that Farmall in the milking parlor pretty easy, If the door was widened, it would be a good spot for the corn header. Its a nice space, shame it can't be used for something.
Wow, i bought 5 gallon of generic hydraulic oil.... jumped 50% in price.... 10" Tues with 40mph winds, 2" last night, and 6 to 13 forecast tomorrow with 55mph winds, thats blizzard conditions!
Stalk chopping in the snow is kinda ignorant.( I mean that from the dictionary meaning of ignorant. Lack of knowledge in a particular subject.) With snow on the ground you can't chop the stalks close to the ground or your beating on the shredder. They do not chopping snow very well.
Actually chopping stalks is a mistake unless you can do fall tillage because the blanket of residue insulates and come spring The ground will take longer to thaw and also longer to dry out. I found this out 40 years ago. You will learn.
I guess we'll find out in the spring how well trumping in that much snow worked. If we chop on our place here I don't send the chopper out if there's more than a couple inches on the ground and then only because we're almost done. Our plan is to try and chop right behind the picker, and the combined and then follow immediately with the disc. However, we have had spells in some years that we couldn't get the disc back in until spring. And we found that if we at least get it chopped it makes the residue manageable then in the spring what are we discussed in the spring or in the fall before spring tillage.@@richardneubauer3365
What’s the difference, snow is less abrasive then dirt and doing this now is going to help him in the spring. What happens if it keeps snowing and he can’t get on there at all?
@@danielrenovetz5721 so you’re saying you don’t grease equipment. As far as not good operating environment that’s a joke as well. There are bearings that sit in manure on the daily
You can chap stocks in the spring would probably be more effective when what you're doing right now
Congratulations on finishing all of the '23 crop work!
Hello Chris nice work. Your in the snow belt. Glad dont have it here. Have a good day.
I can't imagine that stalk shredder did a decent job with all the snow on the ground 😮
Neither can I...
What makes you think he would know the difference.
Taking the stalk that's 2 foot tall and bringing it to 6 inches which was the snow level doing well tho
@DuffyAg the idea is to grind the trash as well as the stalks, can't do that when in its covered in snow and wet.

Great job Chris.
Clean windows.warm cab.nice views. Harvest done.👍
80 bus corn
lf the bones are good in the big barn, get metal sideing on it to match the work shop to keep it protected for it's future if it's cost efficient.

Yeah, he doesn't seem too bright. I know he's trying but he's not had any prior experience
This isyoutube comedy show about an idiot farming
Yea YOU are a KEYBOARD WARRIOR!

They're not
another thing if it really doing a good job shredding why isn't the top of the snow turning yellow with stalks and leaves??
Numbers. Volume. That’s how they do it. Economies of scale.
All your + cash flow is in. Congratulations!👍👍👍

Carport style Machine Shed are all you need

I have never went to Keystone farm show in York. I usually try to go to Harrisburg PA farm show.

everyone can bash me right away but that is just plain stupidity chopping stalks in those conditions really good on the machine
But it's all about making content for youtube. Pretty sure RUclips is more profitable than his corn crop was this year.
@@soilmapman2253 and in the future
Taking the stalk that's 2 foot tall and bringing it to 6 inches which was the snow level doing well tho. Machine was not run hard thanks for a great comment
Poor content but still content. Lot of soil damage just for content
I hope that was a Dual Stack Kit in the shop floor for the Mack that is going to be sweet Keep pushing Duffy Ag

Keep the barn for what it's for build a new Machine Shed in a few years
your best ROI investment would be drain tile
Awesome view
Watching from ont Canada
Be safe my friends

I'm seeing duels in the future for the but I know that's enjoy your videos keep doing what you're doing

How many total units of n are you putting on the ground not treated with source
Yanko's out there doing snow angels!
I got the same p😢 with my dad he say I not able to run the bizes
😊😊😊😊😊😊
Love the hater's.. a shitty job in the fall is always better than a good job in the spring!
What a huge waste of time, fuel, and beating up equipment attempting to shread in snow.
Just stick your farm simulator

You are also very attractive!
I watch you every day. I am unsubscribed every day. What is RUclips up to?
Is the field tile flowing OK still?
Great job stock chopping all done thank you for sharing and your time good work can't wait for next video.
Stock 🤣🤣
@@bigteddy66Yah a lot of people say that.

Yenko looked nuetral on crop work for 2023 wrapping up!
I know people that go from the Poconos of Pennsylvania to Boston to haul snow away.
Curious what made you start your RUclips channel?
Could we please have a farm toy tour?
ive said that about 20 times aready
just as soon as we run a back ground check on you, we cant be too careful with toy tours.
Chris is having to much fun wasting his time in the snow, it’ll be a while
In my 65 years never seen some one chopping stocks in the snow Your just going to destroy that chopper he dont care its not his
What’s the difference, snow is less abrasive then dirt and doing this now is going to help him in the spring. What happens if it keeps snowing and he can’t get on there at all?
Nothing is gunna happen to the stalk chopper.
As the snow melts in the bearings, it's gonna wash the grease out , so I agree wit dary . Not a good operating environment for moving parts .
@@danielrenovetz5721 so you’re saying you don’t grease equipment. As far as not good operating environment that’s a joke as well. There are bearings that sit in manure on the daily
@@alwaystroubleshootingupgra9511 wait till spring and let the stocks dry out and it will chop up a lot better have you ever farmed
