Have you ever considered planting rye for a cover crop and or feed for next year? Could do winter wheat for grain and use the straw as bedding too. Im just north of milwaukee and have not started harvesting yet because it keeps raining here
Amazing how you can make as mundane a job as shredding stalks into a neat and interesting video with good angles, shots, and good music selection. KUTGW!!! Spent a LOT of seat time over the years shredding cotton, sorghum, corn stalks, and pasture. Bout the most boring job there is IMHO. Later! OL J R :)
I'm in Central Illinois and we have rain in the forecast today through this weekend. Everyone is scrambling to get as much done today. ✌and God bless stay safe 🚜🇺🇸🚜
Yea, I'm in Potosi Wi like Ryan and Travis. Weatherbug is saying 70% chance every day for about a week... We've had some massive flooding in the area so this isn't going to help. My uncle Gary's corn that hadn't been harvested yet at one of the farms was all flooded. :/ Feel bad for the farmers trying to get what they can done before the storms.
Thank you Ryan. Enjoyed video and nice job mowing, flying drone, probably doing business with your smart phone. You are a multitasking wizard. I feel fortunate if I can walk and talk and not trip. Keep up the good work.
Should try a gas powered leaf blower to blow off equipment. Used to blow the combine off with an air compressor; the leaf blower is much faster and we can bring it anywhere.
Down here in Jalisco, México we have a grinder implement that breaks up corn stalk bales and we feed the ground up stocks to cattle. Makes for great fill-up feed.
Heey Ryan! I'm curious: Will you ask Krone if you can bale the fodder with the Krone V 180 XC? That would be a awesome video and you have the benefit of checking out how cutting up the fodder would be for soaking up the cow waste.
You might find it handy to have a leaf lawn blower to blow off the bush hog out in the field. Would not make a big mess by the shop would be handy to keep the top of the combine clean also.
When you plant corn or soybeans do you move left or right of last years rows to plant the new crop? On the farm I visit they told me that the computer guidance would move over to accomplish the situation I describeed. I guess one of the reason the move over is that they want to take advantage of the sub soilers they have on each of the 12 rows.
My great grandpa said when he was young, they use to rake the bean stubble with horses and burn it. They thought bean stubble poisoned the dirt, funny you mentioned it....
As usual, the Rhino 4155 does a great job cutting stalks. The amount that clung to the top of the decks looked like it could have made a decent sized bale on its own. Any idea what you'll be using in the future to take down those annoying trees along Abing Road other than a couple of Stihls and a bottle of Tordon RTU? Thanks for the video, as always.
Hi Ryan, I listened to your explanation several times about the PTO & Guards and still don't quite get it. What makes the guards spin at all? I agree it would better to have them spin then not, to give you a visual confirmation that the blades are spinning and to stay clear. Great video, the drones give us a great overall picture of what you are doing.
Hi Tucker, They're shaped as they are to reduce erosion. Every wheel track and row in the field creates a small valley, increasing water infiltration and reducing runoff. These are called contours and were popular in the 80's.
If the PTO guard IS functioning as designed, the chains are unneeded. If the guard is working properly, you can grab it with a hand while it is spinning and stop the guard's rotation while the PTO shaft continues to turn. In the winter if you have a long scarf wrapped around your neck and it some how gets tied around the spinning guard, it will stop the guard's rotation. If you are standing on the mower deck while it is running and your leg contacts the spinning shaft, either covered in long pants or exposed by shorts, the guard will stop spinning instantly. I have observed all these scenarios and many more all with no "safety chains". Far more important than the chains in insuring that the bearings at each end of the guards are properly lubricate and functioning properly. Instead of taking the mower back to Air-gun in the yard, use you hands and/or feet to push all the chaff of the top of the mower in the field. That way, you do not have it blowing of onto other motorists on he road and DO have if retained in the field as natural tilth. Carrying a broom on the tractor would be a good idea too. sdh in the Tobacco Valley of CT
I would imagine the corn stocks have organic matter and nutrients for the soil so I guess my question is how much money are you saving by bailing the stocks up versus leaving them in the field for fertilizer?
They will be returned to the fields after the cows use them for bedding and bathroom. When they are spread the next time they will be even better for the soil. Not saving any money in the long run.
Even though your description says you educate the ones that don’t grow up with rural roots, I’d bet that 90% of your viewers are farmers or have rural roots. 😂
Well talking 2 different places. I run no guards. I snapped a PTO shaft before. Ya, it beat the hell out of the deck, but the 3 point saved from more damage. Even the new shaft i took the guards off. Doesnt fit the safty clamp on the inboard shaft incase the shearbolt fails. Either way, 2 different countries and different laws. UK is pretty ignorant compared to the US on quite a bit and the same for the US to UK.
It is what it is !
Thank you for sharing your video...
I used to do that with a 520 John Deere gas and a brush hog boy you make it look easy

GATEKEEPERS 98 where at in central Illinois
@@kyletate2122 just east of Urbana
That’s about an hour north of me

Good vid Ryan,have a good evening
Thanks for sharing Ryan...
That mower shreaded it more then I thought it would, nice piece of equipment! 👍
Ryan, isn't this so much better than the 7' you used to use? Kinda like a ZTR, once you've used one you never want to go back.
Awesome video!!! Can't wait to see the new rhino ag equipment!!
That dash is a nice reminder that my 7210 is my favourite tractor. Although your 7600 is in a lot better condition. 😂
Good evening from Finland, great video!
Suomi!
Watching from poland super video
Down here in Jalisco, México we have a grinder implement that breaks up corn stalk bales and we feed the ground up stocks to cattle. Makes for great fill-up feed.
That Rhino mower is a beast!
after you mentioned the pto shafts, all i could was watch them
I love your videos
Nice to be able to go, snowing here in NW North Dakota makes for soggy harvest.
How much have you harvested already. So much rain here in the northeast. Been so wet, nobody can do anything really!
Heey Ryan! I'm curious: Will you ask Krone if you can bale the fodder with the Krone V 180 XC? That would be a awesome video and you have the benefit of checking out how cutting up the fodder would be for soaking up the cow waste.
Great video Ryan, as always!!!! Hope harvest is going well...
That Rhino equipment never lets you down! Another good video, thanks.
I use a leaf blower to clean my brushhog and tractor in the field and don't have the chaff or wead seed around to cause problems.
Nice mower! Built good.
How long does it take for the corn stalks to rot down if field is only mowed after corn crop has been taken off?
Great job! I like this video a lot!
Good vid
Congrats on hitting 180K subscribers !
Thanks!

Whatever happened to the Rocket cam?
I love this channel! keep up the great work!

Hey Ryan, can you make sure to video soybean harvest this year and just like explain it thoroughly? Thanks
Another thing with using corn fodder vs. Bean fodder is the shear number of acres it would take to have a decent amount of bedding with beans
Good morning
i used to chop stalks more cotton than corn either 630 or 50 john deere with 5 feet bush hog two rows at a time
Love your vids man ! Da best
Is this mower any good for rice stalks?
I have used a stock chopper on my cousins farm. Do you use the mower too get finer pieces for bedding vs using a chopper?
hi here in New Zealand it is against the osh rules to have the outer covers spinning and i like vids Richard.
Nice!!
How many acres have you harvested Ryan?
What is the benefit to using a mower for cutting corn stalk instead of a traditional stalk shredder?
Being able to use it to mow pasture and 4" trees

Just watched your farm sale video and didn't realize how many tractors u had

A small amount of bearing friction.
We always use chains on pto guards.
do you feed fodder bales to your cows?
is that a 15 foot bushhog?
i was wondering if a flail mower would work better
how come the fields are planted in such odd shapes?
Hi Tucker,

Another great video. Like your videos so much. from india.

Like from Romania
I would imagine the corn stocks have organic matter and nutrients for the soil so I guess my question is how much money are you saving by bailing the stocks up versus leaving them in the field for fertilizer?
After being used as bedding , the corn stalks return to the field as manure . So it makes no difference.
They will be returned to the fields after the cows use them for bedding and bathroom. When they are spread the next time they will be even better for the soil. Not saving any money in the long run.
Why not use straw or sawdust?
Very nice
Did you get this baled before all this rain?
Nope. It’s just fodder though so it doesn’t really matter. It’ll dry out eventually
@@HowFarmsWork Exactly
You should get a battery leaf blower and blow that in the field. Mom's don't like dust in the house.
its new mower rhino 4155 ?
What rpm are you running the batwing?
Up by Wittenberg we are in a tornado watch
Hey love ur videos do u need any help if u do let me know
Why don't use wheat straw?
Even though your description says you educate the ones that don’t grow up with rural roots, I’d bet that 90% of your viewers are farmers or have rural roots. 😂
What I meant to say was when you post do you post it the same day you video or do you film then edit and post the next day?😜🤔
I film, then edit as soon as I can, and then post it whenever the next scheduled day is.
“Oh ok” thanks Ryan
What is going to happen to the mower?
Thanks!
Loftness windrow stalk chopper. Check it out,waaaaaaaay better.
You guys should really get a stalk chopper
I’d rather have a rotary mower that can be used for a wide variety of applications.
That is true
What is this music?!?
I got away from my gf for 15 min so I could catch up on HFW.
I was not disappointed.
"Bathroom break" lol my husband does the same thing lol
Lol.
I choped cornstalks with a flail chopper & jd 60 that was the dirtiest job I've ever had
The problem with Taking soybean straw is the beans burn up so much organic matter and put very little back.
When you post do do the stuff the day before then post it after editing it post it the same day
music?
Looks like you should push broom it off first!
Why haven’t you started your harvest beard
It’s already going! I didn’t know when for sure we’d start so I hadn’t shaved
DO NOT USE BEAN STALKS! That s**t is dusty, super fine and does not work very well. Corn stalks look better too.
First. Watching in school
Anthony Wakulenko same
Probably learn more on here.😂✌
GATEKEEPERS 98 I’d say so
I'd be making stove pellets out of it
Ah I’m so early
Can you put your videos with subtitle in Spanish, please?
In the UK , it’s against the law to not have your PTO guards chained up, health n safety would have a field day if we did that
