Toddler yelled tractor! Truck! Truck! Truck! Trailer! Corn! Tractor! Truck! Trailer! all the way through. And car! when the car got on the corn pile :] thank you for entertaining the little dude
I am a chopper operator and splitting fields is probably the most difficult thing of the operation to keep loss to a minimal especially compensation for cross wind and un even fields doesn't help much eather. You will have losses doesn't matter how good of a operator you are .
One large cattle rancher in my area would also take his mixer & have silage partially filled and fed to cattle he was just starting on grain I don't know if it's right or not but that's just the way he operated . Great Video I enjoy all your videos . Keep up the great work
Great awesome video mike,a lot of things going on operating that forage harvester , those trailers look like they are the ones for potatoes or hauling lime cause of the belt unload
That's a good sized head on that chopper. Definitely need the ponies to run it efficiently, but it can sure cover some acres. They must have all been smiling watching you on the pile with the Razor LOL You shoulda been packing the steeps sides where they can't get with the tractors. No doubt the Razor would climb it.
I've ran a 3 row chopper pulling wagons and your gonna miss trying to watch, operate, drive, think about chicken, it's not easy driving or pulling a chopper plus listening and watching the chopper and tractor all day long 12hrs
Hi Mike I'm not a farmer but I do have common sense where I know things will happen like sometimes operators may miss the trucks time to time Like you said fields or un even wind might blow it it happens and I wish people stop criticising GREAT VIDEO
Mike, great video as always. I was wondering, why don't they put these 1000 HP engines in the tractors? They only go this high in the choppers. Tractors top out under 700 HP. Just wondering.
Im ready for some tillage videos...Hey Mike how about some videos on new 2022 tractors from Versatile....... Some people are just going to find reasons to complain. You could give then a suit case with a million dollars and they would complain its to heavy
Great video as always. Question..why do they only off chute to the right side of the chopper. I've never seen a video where they go left. Does the chute not swivel around to the left? Is it for the ease of the tractor/semi driver to maneuver around corners. Just curious.
It’s really operator preference and most prefer the right side. I do have videos of guys running with the spout to the left. Some operators go back and forth (left and right) as they work back and forth across the field
Hey Mike, for those who are disturbed by some loss of chopped corn in the field, here is my rebuttal: A) It's gonna happen. B) It don't matter cause the stuff is worth so little. On A, when I was doing this 60 years ago with pull type choppers, there was no way you could open a field without the tractor running over a few rows. We would run the chopper in reverse over those crushed rows, but you always lost some. The modern self propelled choppers solve that problem, but it is harder to get the output into the wagon or trailer. You're gonna lose something somewhere. On B, fresh chopped corn in the field has very little economic value. It gains value when you haul it to the farm, and more value when it is packed into the pile or blow it into the tower silo, and more value when it is fermented. But it is still a very cheap source of nutrients for cattle, which is why we use it so much! A little lost in the field is no biggie. But I do admit that as a kid, I would go out to the field and collect those crushed stalks we lost opening the field. Since the value of my labor was less than zero, this was a reasonable act. If I were paying someone today to drive a chopper for me, I would just ask him to use his judgment about efficiency. None of this applies to high moisture corn--a much more valuable product that common silage.
Oh yeah the interwebs is full of experts, during this huge storm that rolled up from the Dakotas to Manitoba folks were getting up on us because "why would you leave those poor animals out in the storm.....why arent they all inside a warm building???"...... yup.....all of them......folk in the cities are so removed from farming these days they have no real clue
Your gonna have some loss no matter what the crop is. I've been by cotton fields that have been harvested and it looked like they missed more than they harvested.

Great stuff Mike. Still waiting for that 2 hour long corn silage video.
Keyboard farmers the closest they've been to a tractor was farm simulator thanks for the videos Mike!

I think chopping at night is pretty difficult also
Oh my Deere!!! 👍🏻🇺🇸 Awesome footage Mike!! Hall Ag Services has some awesome equipment!!
Bring back memories I miss it God bless you all for hard work you all do
03:08 man that was a really good right turn lol
That sure is a nice looking fleet of trucks Hall's has!
That is a pretty versatile machine. I heard your plug. Cool how you got that in. I like Mike. Happy subscriber 😊!
I like how it shows how close the manure operation is right behind
keep the corn silage videos coming MIKE.
Another awesome silage-video!
Thanks a lot for showing! 😊👍🏻
As always with your chopping videos, excellent!
Love seeing that American Flag up there. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great Video mike, I'm not new to your channel. thanks for sharing
This will make awesome feed because it is packed down with a four wheeler😉👍
Nice video👍😁
Definitely a great way to break it in!
The video is great, thank you for sharing ❤
Good morning my friend and good video
Top quality video 👍, really enjoyed it. Great shots from the drone. Regards from Down Under.
Very cool Mike. Thanks 👍🏻
Great vídeo Mike.
Hi Mike great video

Great video Mike 👍
Love the longer videos!!
Mike, you just need to put some big LSW tires on your 4 wheeler to pack the silage.
This is called capacity!🤠
This is cool!
I like your video
I've ran a 3 row chopper pulling wagons and your gonna miss trying to watch, operate, drive, think about chicken, it's not easy driving or pulling a chopper plus listening and watching the chopper and tractor all day long 12hrs
I didn't know Versatile made side-by-sides? I thought you had a Yamaha? I'm sure it will make all the difference on that silage pile!! Lol!
Hi Mike I'm not a farmer but I do have common sense where I know things will happen like sometimes operators may miss the trucks time to time
Like you said fields or un even wind might blow it it happens and I wish people stop criticising
GREAT VIDEO
Mike, great video as always. I was wondering, why don't they put these 1000 HP engines in the tractors? They only go this high in the choppers. Tractors top out under 700 HP. Just wondering.
A 1000 HP Tractor would have to weigh around 100,000 LBS to get the power to the ground. It would be gigantic then and maybe too big for transport.

Your 100% right
so none of the tractors on the corn pile are owned by Lambs so all of their crop work is custom done?
I believe some of the tractors belong to the dairy and others to the custom harvester.
The 9320 on the pile is owned by the dairy.
Splitting A Field Can Be A Pain In The Butt
on our farm we dont really chop it we usually harvest it.
Like your vids. Do they push very much gravel up when pack in the bunk ???
No not really. Most farms are dumping the silage and pushing it up off of concrete.
Just curious way are they cutting the corn so high off the ground, back in the day they much closer to the ground.
Great video as always. Question..why do they only off chute to the right side of the chopper. I've never seen a video where they go left. Does the chute not swivel around to the left? Is it for the ease of the tractor/semi driver to maneuver around corners. Just curious.

How much price of Cron sailge per ton today
Hey Mike, cool video. Do you of any farmers near Michigan looking to hire?
Do they use all that silage in bunks see they have few silage piles or what do they do with it.
Yes they will use it all.
Hey Mike, nice video but where did the 8260R get to?
It would be a more versatile toy if you had at least duals on the polaris
How many cows do they milk
Hello!
I like Mike less videos on RUclips, from the imperial co California.

AND MOST WHO ARE CRITICAL... NEVER HAVE BEEN IN THE COMMAND CENTER OF MACHINE. Alright to ask questions and have insight... No criticism!!
That’s a tiny chopper

Mike this is just not fair to me you use the same music in every video switch that up maybe bud and say manure like manure not like manir.
And no dep
