I quit dairy farming in 2004 and the only thing I miss is cutting the silage in CO with my neighbour Seamus Gibbons with our tarrup double chop driven by my DX90 DEUTZ AND a crystal drawing and seamus on the pit on his MF 50B GREAT MEMORIES GREAT FUN I definitely miss those times and this video brings back a time gone by
Yes I agree with you there was lot's of manpower around when we started our first silage in 1965 mowing with a cub international & a mid mounted mowing and da pushing 10 acres of meadow with a Ferguson 20 & cocklifter or buckrake into a pit dug out off a hill in the feild.
This continued for five years
Pure hardship it was.
Then a neighbour bought a 43 inch tarup & pulled it a mf 65 and three hand tip trailers were made 12x7 and 6ft high sides.
And they were pulled by a 35x and we had a red 990 Davy brown.
But there wasn't any rams for tipping back then so you kneeded 3 / 4 well built men to hand tip them.
Ahh Pure hardship.
In 1977 I bought a mf168 multipower tractor and a tarup double chop and made two 12 x 7 tipping silage trailers I used the red 990 David Brown for drawing in and a 3511 Zetor pushing up.
The mf multiepower 168 was a great tractor to cut.
@@jamescasey4102 wow The 168 would have been around 70hp maybe ? I had a tarrup double chop 25yrs ago and used it for 5yrs but we had an international 885 driving it but the masseys were brilliant tractors my father had a davey brown 990 and a Massey 135 too I miss the silage every year since I retired from farming in 2004 My farm is rented to a local guy now and he cuts the whole farm for silage 2 class self propelled harvesters and wipes it out n a day No fun in that😎
@@jamescasey4102 in the early 70s my uncle Jack Tierney outside Tuam coGalway had a davey brown 990 cutting with tarrup single chop when the trailer was full he jumped off the track and disconnected the PTO shaft and left the harvester behind n field and brought the trailer into the yard ,tipped the load and back out to the field and away to cut the next load A fordson major with a buck rake pushed it up I remember when he upgraded to a David Brown 1212 He told me it had 12 gears I was around 10 yrs then I'm 59 now and those people and the machinery are a distant memory Thanks for your interesting comments Seamus Hennelly from navan
Can you store this green chop in a trench silo? Where l'm at they let it wilt before chopping. How well does it keep in the trench?
Great to see David Brown Tractors at work
Yes, nice to see them at work alright 👍
Still have my granddad's david brown 990 from 1973, .... still runs like a dream 😊
Lovely to see the David Browns at work. The choppers seem to be well set up
Yes There's a great blow of grass coming from the shuts As u said the choppers are well set up New blades and paddles great video
Great video brings back lovely memories of my youth , thank you 😅
Good video nice to see the old tractor's at work.
Love the man on the single chop
I'd say his back was broke afterwards
when i was a young lad thats what i used to do.the old days.
The DAvid Browns are a credit to also the choppers .Go`s to show you do not always need a tractor full of computers , the Case 1494 was nice order also , well done
No smoke must be well set up 😊 none of tractors missed a beat 😊👍
Some very smart tractors there highlight for me was the 1200 at full chat
In my time, I used to leave the draw bar on the single chop harvester as its a handy guide to the cutting width.
Nice to see the old stuff working🙂 Its amazing how far things have progressed to the modern day stuff of 2023! These machines are 40+ years old , I wonder what will be happening in another 40 years
Self-drive AI tractors with multiple cameras and drones will auto-edit and upload videos to be viewable by other AI tractors which they hope to impress with a view to establishing a meaningful online relationship.
The Green Party will have eliminated every methane belching cow by then, so we won't need to cut silage. Farms in Ireland will be theme parks and tourist attractions like thatched cottages are today. Our milk be synthetic and we will all have to go vegan.We are well on the road already.
You'll be drinking Chinese or Brazilian milk before you know it.
We had Shultz flail similar to that one in late sixties with the dairy cows for fresh grass. It would definitely give you great cut. Cut just as good as some of the products out there today.
Well kept tractors
My parents both worked for a Tarrup and Fahr importer in South Devon, many years ago of course, great to see one still working.
Sorry about the comment about your wagons, it is just that I am accustomed to much larger ones. I must admit you are blessed with a lovely country I am jealous. The David Brown is a true work of art. Would love to spend my days with it, lovely video, again sorry for my comment about your wagons. From the USA.
Great video thanks boys
Excellent video and machinery
Good video thanks for sharing 👍
Still see my Dad sitting on his old 880 doing exactly the same thing on our old farm. All three are long gone sadly.
Good job💪
Class video 👍
👏👍 great
❤
Very nice
Job to keep the grass out of the 3CXs rad! Put up a lot of grass with a 550 in early 80s!
These machines not only make farming easier but also contribute to sustainable practices by reducing the environmental impact
😅
Pretty nice veido
I remember doing it like this...but don't cut it too short if you want a fog for fattening lambs.
That's why I am deaf as I am now thanks to hours of cutting silage with no ear protection.
Those tiny wagons just kill me.
Hello! I bought a 1100 in Taarup and I would need a picture of the attachment to the tractor, I don't know exactly how it attaches to the tractor, whether or not a central tie rod is needed. Thanks and congratulations for the youtube channel!
The jcb is a luxury, put up silage with a 995. Wasn't too bad, actually. Had to do it with a 66 and q cab one day, omg, the spool was under the seat in front - an utter disaster.
A neighbour of mine had a 7600 with the spool valves under the seat. A day backing up silage was described as " all day scratching my a**e "
@@daneenmurf1043 ha ha 🤣
Great going.
What make and model silage cutter is behind the case at 2 min 15 secs?
Thank you.
I think that’s a Tarrup Double Chop. It’s hard to tell from the distance whether it’s a 5 or 6ft cut.
@@hughmarcus1
Thank you for your reply Hugh Marcus.
You clearly know the machines. And I not a jot.
Does 5 or 6 cut refer to the number of blades. If any fitted that is?
Because. In a future dream. When granted. Must I silage, also twigs in the silaged matter, of which some, not many, may be 12mm in Ø.
Not a hard wood. And obviously green sap-material.
Regards from South Africa.
@@antonhuman8446 It refers to the cutting width. Also New Holland had a 339 5 foot D Chop and a 442 6 foot D Chop back in the day. They were Red and then changed to Yellow
@@nialldaly7108
Many thanks Niell Daly.
My dream castle for it is still in the painting-phase.
But for the application can I not imagine any better than a six foot cutter.
God bless!
Just wondering would ye run a wrapper with the 1200 or would she be struggling if ye trued
Tried*
How do you dry the silage?
You don't.
might be small trailers but id wager theyre heavy loaded
Definitely m. It’s fresh cut grass, so full of sap. You definitely knew when you had a full load of that stuff behind you. 😬
My farther came from a farming family and ive worked on them in my teens. For some reason i enjoy These videos. Especially the older equipment that can still do the job. But one thing that bugs me. Your chopper cuts and loads in one go. So how can new methods be more efficient with separate cutting, and a dam expensive classs chopper or alike that only picks it up. The fuel costs must be so high. So why haven't farmers got improved versions of your chopper. Less equipment and not tied to any one machine. Then finished in one go. I don't get it. Can anyone enlighten me please.
Must be tiring AF all day sitting in and driving a tractor it's a job I don't think I'd fancy
Cutting was fine. Got the insides shaken out of you drawing. Your neck and clutching if you were on the pit. Worked a lot better if you were young!!
No rollbar!!!!!!!!!
His ears are not happy…..-
@gerry6420 you might make an appearance next year 🙏🤞
