5:14 "haven't plugged the blower pipe yet" 😅
Plus no risk of death from falling 70 feet.😀
I've been bagging haylage and corn silage for about 15 years now. No issues at all. I do however bag at 1500lbs pressure.
Southern Ontario.
I know you are in Michigan so a bit tough in the winter but no more silo's and a mixer wagon absolutely think your gonna love it Kip!!
Funny thing I watch 10th Gen and he is putting up new silo's when everyone else is getting rid of them good guy very knowledgeable but believe he is making a mistake!!
@@justinstraks7128opinions it's his mistake and he is a very good man and family as well for the siegaler family
10th gen farmer is young, he is going robotic feeding also.Its his choice his family farm.
Yup, time to get on with it for sure. Bagging time..... Your "new" silos.
Kip keep the great videos coming man I just love them. What I wouldn't give to be there helping with the rest of the lads.
I always liked filling silo best way to do hay. We had beef cattle. great videos.
I worked for a farmer that had a 3970 jd chopper he switched the pulleys around on it so that the blower would spin faster to get the hay out of the chopper. Then switched it bad when we chopped corn. Good looking first crop hay. God bless
Great Video Kip. Busy Days. Stay cool and safe 👍
I grew up on a 65-89 size herd dairy farm, in New England, 'bout 33 years is all I seen. keep it up man, I wish I would help you! I used to yell at my bulls so that they would know to make it very clear to me as to whats up
Super trucker in the farmall. Always love it.
GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR YOUR TIME TO DO THE VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU DO ON YOUR FAMILY'S FARM
Corn looks really good. Looks like you’re going to have a great hay crop!!
Interesting Video - I'm glad those Bags are and will be working out .
Thought it was "Let's Go"
I can't believe you're bagging already .. just seems it's going way too fast . Already almost July ......😮...the gravel looks really good!!! 🙏❤️🇺🇲
You guys are amazing! Your videos are always an education! Thank you!
Kip. I think you would love some Agri Speed Hitches. They even come in handy if some mistakenly unhooks on a grade. You can catch the wagon. Been there done that! Lol!
Kip, that conveyor chain slapping had me lookin around for a 2 cylinder tractor somewhere. A nice G would really be neat to see there in the lineup.
Awesome
There is no doubt you have a good wife who takes care of your hunger L O L, but you can keep on doing what you’re doing. Love your videos as always thanks Kip you do a awesome job with your videos and obviously with your farm
looking good you are so close to bunkers and dump trailers good job
Quite a fleet of wagons. Your crew performs like a well-oiled machine.
That's a nice haylage bag for your first one!
I watched another dairy farmer just put up 3 - 132 foot cement silos. They changing from bunkers to silos, I like silos, push buttons and you feed. I don’t think I would like cutting and cleaning up plastic. Thx for the video !!
You must like climbing. IF everything works perfect, someone has to climb almost weekly to change spout on the blower. When things break, you climb with a bucket of tools. Sometimes twice. I watch the same thing, but I know you can find another loader for bags/ bunks even if you have to beg, borrow, or rent one.
Great video Kip!
Bergman agri speed hitches will change your life
One of the best investments I ever bought!
Absolutely, a great investment. Time and safety
You might want to connect with 10th generation dairy in Pennsylvania. They had pit silos and upright. They are retiring some uprights and are stopping using the pits. They have built 3 132ft silos with 2 more planned. Going to robotic feeders. Hope this helps. If you can please acknowledge this comment. Take care.
Nice looking first crop. Glad you had nice weather. We are getting 6-10 inches of rain here in MN this week. Definitely gonna like the TMR and bags. You will love the piles if you go that route. Keep up the great work.
Take some spray paint before bagging and run a dotted line down the gravel that way you can line your bagger tractor up with it and youll know its stays straight.
That looks like so much fun.
I can see both sides here. I like Silos but I also understand limitations for all versions of feed storage to an extent. Not an expert by any stretch here. Just my observations to follow.
And for the record, when we moved farms in '92, we did away with ALL forage, and just did round bales, Grain. Bought a 530 Hesston (4x4 500 pounds) which matched up to barn design .
10th Gen: appears to be Limitation on farm land, not expanding past current size of herd, hires in major harvesting and manure spreading (for the pits under barns). Harvester has a blower they bring, that can reach a 150' max height, and has the capacity to unload wagons quick. They believe the 24x132 silos will hold all the feed they need stored, and are going to a Lely Vector automated feed system.
I have concerns on robot going between buildings outdoors. We'll see how it goes.
Kip, has similar size, I think? But, appears to be room to expand.
His stave silos are pretty old, staves decaying, and the unloaders, surface drive Van Dale Magnum types, are on the last leg.
For his size, a poured silo is only way to go for endurance, and size he would need.
I do not know how much he would need. But would venture it will be a few million in debt.
This economy. Allot of risk.
At this point, he has the equipment at harvest to match his temporary storage system. 1 less expense.
He put a nice pad down. He thought it out.
Both farmers did put thought into their choices. I don't think either farm made a bad choice.
Kip has the room to go his route.
And he is modernizing his feeding ration when he gets a TMR machine.
Keep going Kip!! Silos, No Silos, I will be cheering for you to suceed, just like I want 10th Gen so suceed.
It was all over for me, in October '96. Wasn't because of our feed either. F(BEEP) the Government
Another great video!
i'm stuck in the city love the videos
Another great video but I couldn't help thinking that if you laid a sheet under the filling point of the bagger the spill could be cleaned up as you go and it would keep the gravel/stone base cleaner for longer.
Kip I love your videos, but if you’re going to start bagging that much silage and Haylage, you’re gonna need to get a new bagger those baggers aren’t built heavy enough to take the amount you guys are going to use it for
A Versa bagger would be nice, no wires and hey are built damn tough
That was my first thought too. That bagger will be done before corn silage
@@desross2002Absolutely Versa bagger is the only way to go when doing all those bags
@@timpingel9607 i have a rotopress, for corn silage it’s amazing but with grass if it is too dry it doesn’t do the job
@@desross2002I have used a rotopress for corn silage it worked great.
great video
Hey Kip check out Farming Fixing and Fabricating Those boys get it done!
Yes they do!
Sure is a nice set up on the chopper the 8410
Those "pack drive" unloaders are a pain in the lower region! They always dig in and hang up when you have 100 other things to do. Especially on Holidays or before Weddings!
No more climbing silos. Have you looked at replacing or retro-fitting the feeding conveyor for the cows so you could off load from your silage wagons or is a mixer wagon the better route for the farm ?
Hey Kip, were you planning on adding another chopper? Looks like you can buy faster than you can keep the wagons chopped coming in to the bag.
Thanks for another great video Kip.
It was interesting and enjoyable.
Your chopping of the hay ground is going good.
It appears you have the bagger machine dialed in real good.
Like the dial gauge you have on the bagger so you know the pressure. Good deal.
Got the wagons going back and forth real good with the super trucker.
Your process of filling the bags is going real good.
Your feed for the cows is looking real good.
Thanks for everything Kip. You all take care and be safe.
The Iowa farm boy. Steve.
Lower your silos you still can use them
Awesome job it was like I was back on farm .to bad the video didn't have the smells of fresh chop haulage with all action not mention meals on wheels delivery by beauty
Its chopping time.
At least you do not had a strong wind from behind you while your unloading.
Kip, How often do you need to sharpen the knives on the field chopper?
Why not use the self propelled chopper and use speed hitches
At least super trucker knows a good tractor he doesn't need anything to learn how to drive his tractor that little jd sounds like its going to blowup
Why do you run duals on your chopper tractor love your videos bud I am from Ontario Canada
Kip what would happen if you fluffed up the swaths before you chopped it, would it plug up the chopper taking in a big swath.
So when all done with all hay & corn, how many bags you figure you'll have?
Whill you still use the silo at the dry cow lot
How does the capacity of one of those bags compare to a silo?
Curious to how many loads it took to fill a 9’ x 250’ bag.
What are you adjusting with the locking pliers on the back of the bagger tractor?
On the old john deere 30 through 55 or 60 series tractors, the visegrip or locking pliers is on the hydraulic flow adjustment.
I could be wrong but on the baggers I've been around, the feeding conveyor or chain runs off the tractor hydraulics. Then certain baggers also had a set of hydraulics to reel the tension cables back in.
Im curious, why not put a bunk silo instead of the bags.
Cement is over $ 200 @ yard .
That should answer your question.
Also unloading wagons on the ground is a pain
@burtzorn4059 the bags weren't cheap when we used them 15 years ago, then it's not fun making sure the rats, raccoons and pet dog doesn't put additional holes in the bags. The $182 per yard of concrete will go a ways if you can't keep the dog from running across the top of the bags
I’m kind of curious how much tonnage each bag takes just curious no big deal
Roughly 1.4 tone per foot
Get it done with all that grae id bud a pit
You guys ever think about getting a self propelled chopper?
I believe they have one. They use it for corn silage.
got one for corn
Jst wondering why your farm spent all that money the last two years to redo the silos and now you are not going to use them anymore?
Some people get goofy when they hear things and don't always think things through! Their payed for use them, if theirs a problem fix it! When people say to old to climb a silo we'll look at all the young blood coming up Teach them right about a silo and keep us them, but their are a lot of younger ones unfortunately coming up that must just don't have the drive in them to use them!?
The roofs on their silos were all replaced under insurance after hale damage I believe, along with all buildings.
You fix things, and maybe you find a better way after the repairs. Or you just repaired to get by until you are ready to make changes. Upright silo's are almost always a problem. I know some people are building new ones, but they are on a different track.
His family's farm let them make the decision to do things they way they want to.
Why don’t you use your self propelled chopper for grass silage?
Why don't you use your self-propelled for hay
Come on now you only need to eat once a day that's all I eat while I waste the food
Have you ever dropped a cam in the bagger?
There is no doubt you have a good wife who takes care of your hunger L O L, but you can keep on doing what you’re doing. Love your videos as always thanks Kip you do a awesome job with your videos and obviously with your farm
Hi Kip I'm a little north of you in Michigan retired dairy farmer used a Ag Bagger a lot our John Deere tractors would not steer straight when running the Ag Bagger so put down spots of white Ag Lime to aim the tractors right front tire at trust me it works to keep the bags straight 😀
