The way the silo works is it's sealed airtight, the weight of the grass on top compacts the grass below. The fermentation process quickly uses up the oxygen available inside the bin and since it's airtight it's less susceptible to secondary fermentation during storage. An experiment you can try is to put grass into a 200litre plastic drum, cut the top off 2 drums and put the grass in one and cut a slit part way up the side of the other and fit it over the one with the grass inside. Make sure to tape up the slit and round the joint with a few layers of bale tape as it still won't seal properly on it's own. Even loose and half filled the grass will come out in very good condition.
Where I grew up they didn't have fancy automatic silo elevators or huge tarps, you had a 5 meter by 4x4 shaft and your children and the neighbors children to distribute and stomp the grass as it came down.(after one was they covered it with a thick plastic tarp and filled it with water) So being all nostalgic it occured to me....I don' recall if we had a fan or not :)
digitalAngst It is the biggest milk farm in Norway. They don't need a self-propelled forage harvester because they only use it at home. If they start driving for others they would buy a bigger one.
Here in Krautland (right around the corner from my place, actually) there are some really small farms who are sharing a small Claas forager. I once had a talk with the head-honchos of these farms over a BBQ and a few bottles of beer about the economic value of self-propelleds on farms so small. MUCH higher throughput, MUCH better cutting quality, MUCH better working conditions for the driver, at about the same cost-per-ton compared to a drawn shredder. And they can be used in grass, maize, what-have-you. They even harvest young birch trees for biogas use in fall O_O tl;dr This 'big' farm should really research a little into the matter of self-propelled forage harvesters.
May I ask what the song name is? I made this video in FS17 and want to use also the same music :P
SimulatorModding NL yes the song is: Hooky with sloane - Bird Creek 😍
SimulatorModding NL ur vidoeo is very realistic and is nearly the exact same except for some trailers and the Jf but well done I'm a fan of u as well

Dette er gården til en av våre familier ja. Men vi reiser oftest rundt hos andre og filmer😊
Very interesting Video an also nicely done👍😃
Agrar Hüthum thanks!
Er det din/dine foreldres gård du filmer på eller reiser du rundt på gårder og filmer?
Blazin Panda det er en i familien vår dette her, men vi pleier også å filme hos andre bønder. 👍
Bra video!
Julian Stene takk😎
Julian Stene ja bra video!😊
Interesting to see you have a Bailey trailer in Norway.
Yeah! we are very proud of that :)
Agronorth cool video 😎 🚜 🚜
Great video. Is the silage compacted at all when put in the silos? We have a clamp and can only make good silage when it is compacted well.
Farmer Joe It is only the grass in the bottom who is compacted. I don't think they have to compact it because it is inside the towers.
Agronorth Oh right. Thank you

What mounts do you use for your GoPro
Danmcgov i USE a magnet, suction cup, head strap
Hi, thanks for ur video. What kind of grass is it?
All sorts really, www.naturfakta.no/planter/?navn=gress.htm
mint video I subbed
why der are only german machiens
Lukas Koch because we love quality😊😉🚜
Different in Ireland
There is a video made of thuis farm on farming simulator 17
I SEE PROGRAM YOU

Digger musikken er fra gård selv
mathias krekvik hyggelig!
Hob da lige ind at følg mig.!

Their neighbor has a seld propelled one. But in Norway we don't use that much corn. If they had corn they would use a self propelled one.
