  • Chopping Sorghum Sudan Grass near Fort Wayne Indiana
    #farmvideo #farmhandmike #newidea #forage
    Video I shot in September 2020 from a dairy farm near Fort Wayne Indiana as they chop Sorghum Sudan Grass with their Avco New Idea Uni System equipped with a New Idea 767 Super Chopper and 866 pickup header. There are several other machine and tractors in this video that I mention through the course of the video.

    Sure would be nice to see a Uni with a snowblower. Didn't know they made that attachment. What's really nice to see is all the tier 0 tractors running.

    Man that uni was hungry! Looked like a lot of material going through at any given time. Takes quite a bit of power to chop that sorghum Sudan.

    Mike. The historical society put on a get together every year for the New Idea factory. Check it out. A lot of good history and memorabilia etc. especially with the Uni’s as well as the manure spreaders and White Tractors that were built there. My grandpa was a traveling engineer for there manure spreader division back in the 40’s.

  • @christopherlovelock9104
    @christopherlovelock9104 3 года назад

    That was one great video. Never seen a White tractor here in the UK - in fact I don' think there are any over here. Their might be the odd M-M, pre WW2 and wartime models, but all the other stuff, (apart from some Allis tractors and that 'towed' NH forage cutter), I've never seen before in our Country. - One Question :- How tall is that Silo and how is it fixed to the ground.

    I worked on a sweet corn picking crew at Whitby Ontario when Stokelys had a cannery there in the 80s had 2 uni systems with picking elevator units. Kind of so so machines but always survived the season. 2 machines over 4000 acres for the 2 of them.

  • @johnmccarter5541
    @johnmccarter5541 3 года назад +1

    Hey Mike: Could you explain in a future video how the silage is blown to the top of the silo up so high? Is it air pressure or is there an auger inside that vertical tube on the side of the silo, or something else?

    • @arnielowrie2395
      @arnielowrie2395 3 года назад +2

      You answered it yourself, silage blower. The blower has large paddles that turn fast and throw it up the tube then air pressure pushes it up.

    As a kid Dad had a 703 Unisystems with a big GM V-6 in it I think it had a 713 or 715 combine unit and 4 row 38” corn head 13’ platform. Worked pretty good as I remember.

  • @nealturner7463
    @nealturner7463 3 года назад

    You did'nt need a lap top to work on it. I owned a 706 Uni with the 354 non turboed perkins in it. Had a 737 husking bed, 717 Combine, and a 729A sheller. It was a good outfit. I have been to Witmer,s to buy Uni parts, about 30 years or so ago.

    Cool machine, probably not with 4wd assist :)

  • @johnertel2957
    @johnertel2957 3 года назад

    Pretty decent shape for its age. Do you know if the rear wheel assist was standard equipment on those or did they by any chance add that as an aftermarket option? This may be the first Uni-system I’ve seen with rear wheel assist. Pretty cool to see where we’ve come from, when you see how monstrous and fast, current John Deere and Claas choppers are & run. The cool thing is that it’s still getting it done!

  • @robertslack4680
    @robertslack4680 3 года назад

    Nice. We ran a uni system, I believe at had a v6 GMC gasser around 400 cubic inches. We had a corn chopper and a sheller for it. Thanks for the video.
