Non farmer here, I always like watching the bagging being done, I find it fascinating to watch for some reason. It is mind blowing how much product goes into those things.
I've been bagging silage for 40 years, there's good and bad about them, just like any storage method but the feed quality is great and very little loss.
The disposable bagging concept is such a good temporary storage solution. I'm wondering if it might work to cover the bag with chain link fencing - just lay over top and sides. Won't blow away. Can't believe animals would do much harm. Roll up and reuse the next year. Just a thought.
Chain link might be too bigger holes, maybe some heavy duty chicken mesh because the animals tend to jump up & walk all over the bags causing holes & more damage. If that doesn't work you'll have to electrify the mesh, that will give those darn varments something to think about. 😂🤣😂
@@leddielive Chain link fencing is available in various sizes of openings - some down to ~1.5". Animals don't like putting their feet in worrisome places... a la cattle guards across roadways. They make a poly chain link fencing which is cheaper, not sure it would be as effective. Anyone who's seen the destruction animals do to bags, should be eager to try something. Think it would be worth a try.... could be rolled up and reused over and over.
Brake set at 900 and I suggest investing into a steer box with remote for bagger tractor so cart guy can drive it unloading. We lay around 20 - 400' bags every year
We put up around 10 12' x 300' silage bags this fall and is still the best way to store forage and we are currently bagging hi moister corn and we will never go back to the old ways of doing it lol
Its a kintd different process bagging silage compared to grain. On silage the black fold go to the front and the bag is fed out from the bottom side. Again different materials and processes so not sure if it'll work for grain but when I set up my 8ft bagger for silage I bunch the end together like a feed bag and use large zip ties. The heaviest ones I can find, at least 20-30 inches long. I can tighten them right down. I'm paranoid enough I double band them then tuck it underneath so when I start filling it's covered and held in place .
Depends on bagger, ours feeds from inside (bottom) as well, you just set the bag on the direction you need to get the white to be outside for grain bags. I am not sure why grain bags are white and sileage is black.
Gran bags keep harvesting going silos cost hundreds of thousands bags don’t and sumtimes you can not cart it away quick enough to keep the headers going
Well, in Mike's case by the time he's finished pushing & pulling the wrong levers a dozen times it turns out it actually slows the whole operation down!😂😂😂
These things are still too technical. 4 man operation to set up one bag. They need to design a bagger that can have like 10 bags preloaded onto it before harvest. And make it dummy proof enough that any hired man can do it by himself.
Now there's a challenge if I ever saw one!🤔 Some people struggle to put their shoes on the correct foot.🤭 A trouble free, idiot proof bagger is almost an impossibility I imagine?😂🤣😂
Technically one guy that knows what he is doing can set a bag up the Akron does have the best loading system in my opinion as well also there extractors are the best in my opinion
I’m so glad that I never have to use a grain bag. All I hear is horror stories about how they sometimes split and other issues. Better off to buy bins or just contract excess grain
Was baggin with my sons today... and this song came on the Radio ruclips.net/video/zrFI2gJSuwA/видео.htmlsi=Z8OOISypmsxXDY8Z Now i cant bring it out of my head😂
it is a terrible way to store grain. as if there isn't enough work to do, let's redue the work again! it has its place to temporarily store grain to keep half a dozen combines rolling that day but still silly in the long run
It is the best way to store grain for a short period of time. Haul to the elevator when the prices are better. More economical than building long term storage bins for short term storage.
@crandonborth come up to the great white north where me and Mike farm with the moose the elk the deere. we will see if your bags of silage last a month

Easy, as long as you have three useful young guys helping 😊

Another great video - thank you !
magnifique vidéo et le grand bâche et bien pour les céréales et bien intéressante 😂😮😅😊
Great video Mike
Thanks Mike
The black bear down here in Louisiana love a bagger. Built an electric fence and still couldn’t keep em out.
They may be a good option but sure seems like extra work and a pain in the rear 😆

That's alot of chain link fence
300ft of chainlink would probably be worth more then the bag lol

There’s a company that makes a heavy duty tarp to put over bags and bunkers
Peg! Mint!
A man of culture 😂

Add more bins ! Sell last year's crop !
Shouldn't have any of last years crop left
Mike sei un mito!!!

@@NVMDSTEvilsilage is white
Wow! 4 man operation. Not very efficiant. Not to mention when they split end to end. Think i will stick to bins.
@@379insk This is just a temporary storage… bin are really expensive and bags are vastly cheaper in the short term.
@@crandonborth I know bins are expensive thats all i use. Only takes 1 man and an auger to fill bins

Is it lever or lever ???😂
It's a semee
Exactly!!!!!!!
I read it both ways... 😭
Grain bags 😤 garbage bags 😊
Just tie the end with the string that comes with
Versatile content 👍
What about grain moisture ...
How dry does it has to be, Mike ?
What would your harvest be like if you didn't have the storage bags?
How much does it speed up harvest?
Well, in Mike's case by the time he's finished pushing & pulling the wrong levers a dozen times it turns out it actually slows the whole operation down!😂😂😂
(Sorry Mike, but you're such an easy target I couldn't resist.) 😉

If you think this is technical wait till you see how we bag Silage and you have 300' of cables you have to recoil back up at the end of each bag.

Bags are used all over the world perfectly fine
@Adam-x4b they are a pain in the ass
Shit I used to change bags on my own in about 15 mins.
Those guys you were working with are a little bit more professional than we usually see you with.
😆 Would be surprised at what nearly 60days of straight 16hr days will do! Heck, even I am getting half decent at this point! 🤷🏼♂️
Bagging seems such a PIA to store grain. I understand it exists for a reason, but what a poor solution.
What alternative can you think of that will keep the combines working when the trucks have a long haul back to a storage bin?
Well bins are expensive bags get the job done.
You can find used bins for that price.. 5000 bushels..eady to move.. and you still have the bins after

Now i cant bring it out of my head😂
And bags keep you in control of your gran instead of agents
👍

Better than dumping on the ground.
Bags have a place. If you are keeping 2 grain carts busy, dropping the grain in the field without loading semis and hauling a distance they are great.
We have silage in bags from over a year ago and its still fresh as the day we put it in

Bags are the worse thing ever made!!!
