Excellent video Mike. Those are very nice forage wagons. Quite big as well. These guys can move a lot of corn running only one harvester. Looking forward to more videos.

Nice looking trailers for sure, curious how much they hold tonnage wise. Big MAS semi trailers are around 30 ton, bet these are close. I cringe everytime I see the empty trailer pull alongside the full trailer and they try to blow over the full one, over the course of a season, thats alot of feed on the ground, I prefer stopping for 5 seconds, for the empty to pull away.
We run the same setup here in Michigan with those wagons but 4 axles and we switch on the go but the loaded wagon moves outwards and the empty wagon comes in between the loaded wagon and the chopper headed we spill way less feed that way
Guys I work for run the spout to the right so that truck drivers can more easily see the chopper on the trucks left side. They also have a taller side board on the right side of the silage wagons to catch the corn as it nears the top.
Mike, Does it seem unusual to build a silage pile on top of dirt? or was there an oxygen barrier put down first? I wonder how tightly you can seal the silage.
I know where they are dumping looks like dirt but the pile itself may be on concrete. I was not here when they started or was very close to the pile. I was a few hundred yards away flying the drone as I didn't want to be in the way since it was tight.
Normally corn silage will not be fed to cattle for a minimum of 30-45 days after chopped, once it is packed on the pile it will ferment. Most dairy farms have a carryover of silage from the previous season to get them through.
It's nice to see a small diary still in operation
12 row head, 950 hp. Travel speed is not excessive and that chopper is working pretty hard. That’s some good yielding corn. Great video. Mike.
Grew up close to that farm, friends had that farm sold it moved to Missouri now I go to church with em, awesome video from the Wakarusa Indiana area
Great video Mike. Those trailers are brilliant. They look wider than normal, big capacity.

The custom made silage trailers look cool😉👍
Thanks for the video👍👍
Thanks for posting these chopping videos. I like to watch corn harvesting!
Great video as always Mike
Mishawaka is like 25 mins away from me, pretty cool
I like watching Mike less videos on TH-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍🖐️🇺🇲

That’s only about an hour north of us, we’re north central Indiana.

Cool video. I am very close to this farm & know the family well 👍
Nice video Mike! Hopefully you get back to get footage of the manure tanking sometime. These guys have a digester on farm as well

Wow those are some ginormous silage wagons. Who needs semi trucks when you have equipment that big.
I wondered if you went back awesome
Noticed a lot of the newer tractors in your video as having front PTOs. Is that becoming more common in the US? Great video!
Yes for sure. Seeing more all the time
Over here in Europe in the Netherlands almost every tractor is equipped with front pto’s, you can do so much more with your tractor like that
corn is always interesting
Amazing

2x 9560 on the silage pile for one forage harvester is a massive overkill. Unless they are both learning.
Wonder why they didn't chop the corn field closes to the pile. Everyone does things different as long as it works.
Not Sure, Most farms are always testing/sampling the silage as its being chopped so maybe that field didn't make the cut.

Pardon my ignorance, do farmers feed cattle freshly chopped silage or does it have to be fermented first?
Normally corn silage will not be fed to cattle for a minimum of 30-45 days after chopped, once it is packed on the pile it will ferment. Most dairy farms have a carryover of silage from the previous season to get them through.
👍
😎😎
I work there
Cool
Rhat corn doesn't even look to be tassled out yet..........WTF?
Well it definitely was tassled and at the right moisture stage for silage.
We sincerely want to work with you and hope you will reply to our emails(on farm)
Mike, since Versatile is owned by the Russian Rostselmash, will you be parting ways with them?
you should really pay attention
I really don't know. As you probably know I left Versatile back in June.
@@farmhandmike Didn't know that, thanks for the update!
