I’m elderly lady of 76 and this is a refreshing change to watch these videos in place of hustle & bustle of people arguing. I just happened to find this one day & now I’m watching all the time. 👏
In my almost 70 years i have come to realize that never is a really long time! That operator is doing a great job of hitting the wagons in my book. Another great video. Good shots of the airplane. I love to watch those crazy people that fly the air tractors. Thanks for bringing us along.
Dad and I used to do custom chopping out in Washington State in the mid seventies. We averaged 250,000 tons per season. Those wagons are really well built and awesome. Thanks for the great videos.
Lol as an operator of a class 900 for many years I find it hilarious your comments. People have no idea how difficult it is and everytime someone says... "I drove a combine... I can do it" fail badly! This guy is doing just great in my opinion!
I would like to see the diesel bill after harvest! I would think that's a big mountain of a bill!! Great footage of their operation as it's a big one! They do a good job that silage pile for sure! Thanks for your time Mike👍🏻‼️‼️
Those wagons are monsters! I remember when I was still a kid my dad did custom chopping in the early '00s with a big at the time John Deere chopper and a whole lot of bobtail trucks. Great video!
What a great video. We live in South Central Pennsylvania, and I have often seen farmers harvesting their fields, or just after, but never have seen exactly how they keep the siliage in storage. What a great video. Will share it.
no matter how good u are at silage chopping u do miss once in a while nobodys perfect this is so amazeing im used to seeing 4 row self propel chopers and my dad had a 2 row pull type he custom choped with this is so amazeing
Great to see some farmers in the US embracing jcb tractors. That is one massive pile of silage , would like to know how they feed out the silage to minimise loss. As to keeping the road clean that to me is showing respect to the other people who use the road, after all it might be your tractor/semi windscreen that gets broken when a stone gets flicked off a passing tyre.
I ran with a crew for a number of seasons back in Eastern pa and we were opening fields a much higher percentage of the time and we had so many trees, turns, telephone poles, and wash lines to avoid. But we had a very good operator and though I never ran a chopper I will say this: it is the equivalent of driving a pickup through multiple serpentines in your back yard with less than a foot on either side and not hitting any trees or shrubs. Plus you need to text, shave, eat, clean your glasses, change clothes, and negotiate between your wife and mother in law at the same time. That is why they miss sometimes!

Yeah...there’s no way in hell that they miss the wagon on purpose, that’s a bull crap excuse. The other one I’ve heard is excuse that different parts of a field need extra fertilizer. Just man up and say some gets wasted..l can respect that.
That 3 point packer almost looks like it could have used rail car wheels. Except I don't think Case would use them. The Claas is keeping those 3 tractors busy on the silage pile. Nice drone shots...especially with the crop duster.
Nice to see, or rather hear machinery without being drowned out by thumping music. Good job. Perhaps the crop duster had finished his field and just wanted to either get in your shots or watch the chopper in action!
great video Mike thats a really nice looking crop, Im glad theyre havest is going good compared to other videos Ive watched where they were working in really muddy fields and were forced to shut down cause it was getting to hard for the choppers and tractors to work
The Eastside Silage Corn Harvest 2020 channel provides sharp, full-color images of the corn harvest process for animal feed. With detailed footage of advanced harvesting technology and the smooth coordination of machinery, the channel helps viewers gain a better understanding of larger-scale farming. This is a great resource for anyone interested in the agricultural industry.
Sure does. It is very important to add some organic matter to the soil these days, it supports all sorts of soil processes and life and prepares nutrients to get ready for a next crop.👍👌🚜
Nice footage. Always a reliable Claas chopper doing the heavy job, and indeed what a huge trailers. Some of them seems to be of Claas brand as well? Nice to see the quad trailer with 3 out of 4 axles being steered and one lifted. These JCB Fastracs also looks impressive 👍🚜
Hi Mike. I'm in Ireland looking at this video has made me happy. I am offering my assistance working with you for a week during tour nxt harvest. I don't want any pay only accommodation for the week. I would sleep in the cow barns for the crack. Would be one hell of an experience.
Nice chopper nice tractors. I always love this season, the smell and the sound of the harvest. Great job at filming,just watch out for the shotgun, lol !!!!
Great video! 👌🏻 Interesting trailers there..... nice and big💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😍 Strange way to push up the pit/clamp/silo via one corner......not what we’d be used to in 🇮🇪 but a well made/built none the less 😀
What that farm can harvest and pile in a day is probably more than we could could put up in a month with the one row silage cutter we used in the 70s. I think we switched to a two row silage cutter around the mid 70s. Farm equipment has come a long way since back then.
Reference the comment about missing the wagon. I can honestly say I have never missed a wagon while harvesting silage. Not one time... (The amount of times I have actually harvested silage has no bearing on the accuracy of the previous statement)
Pound on the ground is better than a row in the snow. You *can* adjust the spout tip and boom controls so that they don't flip around like a slap-sprinkler tho.
Hi mike great drone footage love watching farm videos everything seems to run like clockwork well put together greetings from near sydney australia ❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺
Do you Guys have the same problems as we have in Germany, with Wild Boars, Hogs in the Cornfields? The reason is, that i cant see any evidence in these Video of the Feld.These Fields you have over there are huge , and these traktors in Orange are impressive, Greetings from Germany and thank you for these nice harvesting video with explenation
Thanks, Wild hogs are a huge problem in several places in the USA and their range is getting bigger all the time. Don't really hear of it up here in these parts of the midwestern United States though. I know parts of Texas and Arkansas they are terrible.
The corn they are harvesting is a different variety. It has a lot more leaves and less corn on it. Most likely they are getting aHigher percentage of tonnage per acre because it is for solids and not eat Air corner. You can Google that sir. Recommend going to Andy on farming fixing and fabricating New York. Excellent you tuber excellent Does a great job of explaining everything.
I dont blame the operator if he misses a bit considering how fast the silage is being blown out of the spout and yet the wind can also be a factor noones perfect doesnt matter how good you are I can see it being tough blowing righ over the tractor cab that is quite a distance the chopper has to blow the forage rather than when the tractor is right beside it.
What does it cost to have custom harvesting done? It would be interesting to know what percentage of farmers use custom harvesters compared to owning the equipment themselves. Please share that will everyone.
what is "silage"?? what is done with all the plant leaves, stems and stuff, when the corn cob is harvested? (Oh never mind: i figured it out. it means harvesting the corn plants for cows, after the corn cobs have been removed from them earlier)
So this is very late, but thats not what silage is. The corn cobs havent been removed from them first. How would you even do that and still have the plant left standing. By hand? It just means that the entire crop is chopped, put into a big pile, covered with foil and then it ferments. Then its uncovered bit by bit and fed to cows. Whats fed is whats called silage. The fermented chopped corn, or grass, or triticale...
@@egomania2792 That is what was said: first the whole plant is cut by the harvester, then cobs are removed from the cut plant by the harvester, with the rest being chopped up for fodder/silage.
@@TWOCOWS1 the cobs arent removed! This machine doesnt separate anything. It chops the entire plant. There is ZERO separation happening. I implore you to watch corn harvesting Videos. There it is an entirely different harvester, with an entirely different process.
Question, why don't they drive backwards with the wagon half way up behind the conbine? Thats how they do it in Europe and you will have less loss of crop.
Brilliant video, too long, noooo, but will have to knock one point off, you missed an excellent opportunity to ride in a JCB Fastrack at speed pulling a full load, show N.America how smooth a ride you can get in a JaCoB.
I’m elderly lady of 76 and this is a refreshing change to watch these videos in place of hustle & bustle of people arguing. I just happened to find this one day & now I’m watching all the time. 👏

As i sit here watching this , i am enjoying my bowl of Corn Flakes with milk.
THANK YOU FARMERS. you're the REAL MVP here.

Where about in Wa?
@@thefarminkid We lived in Basin City. We started season clean up in Moses Lake area and followed a head of the frost line all the way down to Pasco
Lol as an operator of a class 900 for many years I find it hilarious your comments. People have no idea how difficult it is and everytime someone says... "I drove a combine... I can do it" fail badly! This guy is doing just great in my opinion!
Watching large harvesting equipment is just as interesting for men as it is watch large construction projects going up.
This is my hometown you were across the road from my grandmas house if I knew you were there I woulda said hey
I would like to see the diesel bill after harvest! I would think that's a big mountain of a bill!! Great footage of their operation as it's a big one! They do a good job that silage pile for sure! Thanks for your time Mike👍🏻‼️‼️
Those wagons are monsters! I remember when I was still a kid my dad did custom chopping in the early '00s with a big at the time John Deere chopper and a whole lot of bobtail trucks. Great video!
Those enormous four-axle trailers are something else.
They never miss the wagon on Farm Simulator! The Massey and the small wagon is the red headed step child of the fleet’
What a magnificent set up, great coverage, thanks Mike I could watch it all day!
What a great video. We live in South Central Pennsylvania, and I have often seen farmers harvesting their fields, or just after, but never have seen exactly how they keep the siliage in storage. What a great video. Will share it.
Watching from U.P. MICH.First time .Its AMAZING From BIG PAPA. THANKS!!!

Great Vlog, Those Claas harvesters have lifted the game in silage making, good to see a team with the correct stack weight.
Good work an vedio on such a beautiful farm.👍🇺🇲
Nice to see a corn silage video as we get snow today,i can just smell the silage,makes a dreary day better,as always great video
I like your videos and I like those new custom wagons they're really sharp and I love you TH-cam channel

Mike , Your videos are always great and the music only makes it one step better. Keep your videos coming ! THANK YOU
Nice looking cart's they are building.
Everybody misses when filling a silage box.
I ran with a crew for a number of seasons back in Eastern pa and we were opening fields a much higher percentage of the time and we had so many trees, turns, telephone poles, and wash lines to avoid. But we had a very good operator and though I never ran a chopper I will say this: it is the equivalent of driving a pickup through multiple serpentines in your back yard with less than a foot on either side and not hitting any trees or shrubs. Plus you need to text, shave, eat, clean your glasses, change clothes, and negotiate between your wife and mother in law at the same time. That is why they miss sometimes!
Chopped some silage the other day with a tractor mounted single row chopper, and this pretty much sums it up.
Silage videos are my favorite way better than tv or movies
WOW , GREAT DRONE FOOTAGE and camera angles , farming on that scale is massive 👏 👌

Good stuff Mike. The forage trailers are pretty awesome. Keep 'em coming.
If it lands inside, it's called "chaff", if not, then it's "mulch" haha. All good. Nice video. Love the FastTrack's! 👍
Great video! That chopper is just a little bit faster than a two row pull behind chopper. Lol 😆

When I miss the wagon, I call it putting some fertilizer on the ground 😂🤣
Sure does. It is very important to add some organic matter to the soil these days, it supports all sorts of soil processes and life and prepares nutrients to get ready for a next crop.👍👌🚜
Great video! Loved the shot of the 3 case compacting the silage!
You make the best farm videos, Mike!

Down here in Ky I never missed the wagon on the left side, not talkin bout the right though
I’ve been driving choppers for years and I’ll be the first to say I don’t get 100% in the trailer when opening up a field
I just blame the guy driving the wagon for not trailing straight with the copper.
Tuyệt vời quá bạn ơi cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video này nhé ❤️
Nice to see JCB fastracs working in the US.
A few people run them in Wisconsin here, but they are poorly designed and an absolute pita to service, maintain, or repair.
Hi Mike. I'm in Ireland looking at this video has made me happy. I am offering my assistance working with you for a week during tour nxt harvest. I don't want any pay only accommodation for the week. I would sleep in the cow barns for the crack. Would be one hell of an experience.
Another great silage video Mike. Quite an operation Zimmerman has there.
First time viewer what a large operation that is ran with precision great work guys...
Wow, that 90 degree turn on the opening was impressive through what was NOT lost!!!😀 makes my 1990s efforts in the UK really embarrassing . Jeez...😳
Really enjoyable video Mike. Been a while since I've seen corn silage harvest. Two thumbs up!!😁👍👍
Why I'm this video they use that machine that mix all the green plant and not the other machine that separates the yellow corn 🌽 from the green plant?
How many people do two guys and a bunch of oil replace? I heard a barrel of oil is worth 15,000 labor hours.
Awesome video! First one of yours I’ve seen. Really liked the extras like the crop duster and the shotgun scene. Subscribed.
Thanks, you got some catching up to do now.
@@farmhandmike right
That is one big pile of cow food-good video
Nice chopper nice tractors. I always love this season, the smell and the sound of the harvest. Great job at filming,just watch out for the shotgun, lol !!!!
Great video! 👌🏻 Interesting trailers there..... nice and big💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😍 Strange way to push up the pit/clamp/silo via one corner......not what we’d be used to in 🇮🇪 but a well made/built none the less 😀
If this was near Wakarusa I followed the fastrac and 3 axel for a little bit. Very cool video
Awesome video. Love the Claas chopper.

Reference the comment about missing the wagon. I can honestly say I have never missed a wagon while harvesting silage. Not one time...
(The amount of times I have actually harvested silage has no bearing on the accuracy of the previous statement)
With all the effort to spread and compact silage, could sileage be "packed" into large square bales and stacked in the sileage bin?
Mike, to comment at 12:00, I never miss the wagon on farming simuator. Albeit, the game won't let you miss, so......yeah. lol.
That are some trailers👍😉 your corn silage videos are always awesome😁👍
Silage videos!! My favorite! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Mike!!
3-year-old and I loved it! Watched the whole thing!
젊었을때 이런일 해봤어요
소김치 담구는거죠
낫으로 하나씩 베어서 니어커로
날라다 캇타기에 넣어서 컷팅하고
구덩이에 소금뿌려서 다져서 흑으로 덥죠
사람힘으로하니 정말로 힘들어요
여긴 모든것이 기게로 어마어마
하네요 대단합니다
Great stuff Mike
Man that was a huge silage pile good stuff Mike👍

Hi mike great drone footage love watching farm videos everything seems to run like clockwork well put together greetings from near sydney australia ❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺
You don’t really think about how many tractors it takes to catch all of that or how fast it’s being processed and loaded and I can smell this video.
Epic work 👀🤝💖
What's the purpose of keeping the pile manicured? Wind erosion?

OK Mike. How many tons of silage on the large wagon? That looks like a monster. Do they have an estimate of tongue weight?
I don’t know the tonnage but did you notice I did not fill that wagon up all the way. Lol!
How many acres of corn do they have
i love farming and the video i dont want to ask a dump question but is that made from regular corn stalks just the corn has been removed first
The corn they are harvesting is a different variety. It has a lot more leaves and less corn on it. Most likely they are getting aHigher percentage of tonnage per acre because it is for solids and not eat Air corner. You can Google that sir.

Yeah, try shooting from a galloping horse at a moving target and see how many times you miss, right?
What does it cost to have custom harvesting done? It would be interesting to know what percentage of farmers use custom harvesters compared to owning the equipment themselves. Please share that will everyone.
Awesome Video Mike......they have a MX230 and we have a MX220 nice !!
Would you tell us the difference between field corn used for silage and corn harvested for vegetable packing.
Nice video. I from England Birmingham.
Another well done vid sir. You've got that drone flying/filming down pat.
Lots of impressive equipment being used.
Love the longer videos. Man thats a silage pile!

ow often do they have to stop and sharpen/change blades?

Man what a waste of silage, I could have gotten 100 percent of that into the wagon 🤣. But I won't make a video doing it hahaha
Beautifull job 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍
These trailers looks really good in Claas livery.
OK Mike - How many days and how many tons of silage? that is a huge pile!
You could move a mess of silage with those wagons
My God! Those wagons look like barges!
