I watch you guys struggle with the bag almost every time, back in the early 2000's I worked with a farmer and over the 10 years I bet I was part of couple hundred bags. Putting the box in the skid steer bucket and starting at the top and working down makes putting the bag on so much easier, or the other thing we would do if short on help, is put the bag on the bale spear, lift it up and it would usually, I say usually, slid of the spear and then you just worked into place from both sides and the bottom! Trust me I feel your pain, they are nightmare.....but anything one can do to make it easier on the back, oh but probably do not want to put that video on here, people will yell at you for being in the bucket up in the air without being tie off! I always loved chopping corn and filling silo and bags, if you were bit closer to the western side of MN I would offer to help!
This field of corn looked more promising than some of your first that went into the upright silo. Our neighbors had a self-propelled chopper open up their fields intended for silage and went right to work with their pull-type chopper bagging silage. They spread lagoon manure on the stubble, worked it in and have drilled triticale for spring forage Their upright stave silo will be filled when it is empty. I've got to finish some repairs on the combine so we're ready for beans. Seems like this time of year gets things rolling toward maturity. Hope the Lord blesses you folks with a safe harvest without too much downtime. We're in the same boat running old iron that can be problematic at times. Makes me wonder if the new machinery will be going at 50+ years old.
So great to have your dad and your brother Paul and kids helping out. Blessings ❤ on them and you and the entire family. Think of you guys often while watching TH-cam farming .
Great content! I to am a farmer, started on my own at 14 in 1983. I love seeing the older iron that I grew up around still bringing home the bacon. You all are doing a great job! Have a safe and prosperous harvest, and blessings!! Luke
I sure appreciate watching a family make it with what they got and good older Equipment without all the computer crap. If it breaks you don't call the dealership to fix it. You fix it and keep going. Love the Channel Guys
Looking really good. Buying your own bagger was a wise decision, and will allow you to expanded your feed storage needs as necessary, with out encoring the heavy capital cost of permanent silos, ether tower or bunk. I see hundreds of empty tower silos sitting empty that may have only be filled 10-15 times, and have stood empty now 30 years.
Like watching your videos small farmer has my heart. I'm a retired construction worker layed brick for living. I would love to help you grow but my funds are not great. But love what you do you have a good soul and love your family
Keep on chopping, your cows depend on it. Looks like Paul has put that bag on a few times, he knows what he is doing and strong enough to do it. How much does that box with the bag in weigh? Nice pictures of the northern lights. Stay safe and God Bless.
Tks for sharing Alan. At first I thought that box with the bag in it was empty? The way Paul was handling it. Lucky to have a power house like him on your side. Your Dad looked like he was really enjoying chopping. Its great to see the whole family working together. Children include.. i did order a zip up front Hoodie.. Cant wait for it to get here...
THAT'S why you take the Right dual off! I get it now. Great video, and I know what it's like running older equipment. Y'all do a great job keeping it running. Red tractors are better suited for the hydraulic motor table than pre 1992 Green ones. I would have to swap out bagger tractor and hauling tractor to let oil cool down. 👍
You guys ever try using the skid loader forks to lift that bag up when you putting it on? Have to be careful of course but sure saves on the back at the end of the day.
Your lucky that you can get the huge plastic bags to bag your chopped corn. Here in Ontario Canada where I live, throw away Plastic shopping food bags no more, You have to buy a reusable plastic bag or other and the same with many more plastic products. Now stores are not carrying plastic bays at all you have to bring your own. Enjoy your crop bags while you can, they will get to you folks next. Great video and thanks for posting, keep them coming when you can.
Always enjoy watching the Trinity Dairy videos. Can you reuse the silage storage bags? Your brother Paul is a big fella, looks like he could pull a grain cart around by himself🙂
Jerome 2 is still under the weather? About 55 yrs ago dad came home from his second shift job. They woke us up. Put your shoes and coat on. We got in dad's warm pick up. Dad took us out on the road. It was the northern lights. (Mom , dad , brother , and myself). About 30 yrs ago I was on my way home from work (second shift) I seen the northern lights for the second time. From Sedgwick county kansas both times.
I always wanted to see how you prep the bagger. It looks like it takes some pretty serious effort to put a bag on the machine. I've never used a bagger. Right now we don't really have a good place to put one until a slab is poured. Doesn't look too likely we get a bagger any time too soon. I do appreciate you showing how it all gets put together. How long is the maximum for an Ag Bag? In the future we may make piles like how George Gierok does??? Maybe.
The newer baggers, have a lift, for the bag, that makes it easier. I usually use, 150ft bags, but some baggers, can 200, I think some of the bigger diameter ones, go up to 500ft long.
I usually have to put my 7x200 bags on myself. I hang the bag off the pallet forks on my skid steer by pushing it all the way onto the forks I can tilt the forks down onto the tunnel and work the bag on to the machine. I started a bag Thursday afternoon and hopefully will finish it off tommrow. The way its looking I'll have almost 3 bags before I'm done😳 I'm kinda surprised. Does the steering your 1066 like to wonder? My bag site isn't perfectly flat but my 1066 likes to wonder in the dumbest places, and I do strap the steering wheel.
If I have a 3rd person, I like having them in the skid steer while Paul and I get the bag in place. It used to wander, but I had a new seal put in the hand pump that the steering wheel hooks to and that made it way better.
Al, do you inspect the undercarriage of the wagons? I've got a nh 716 which is same as your badgers. The c channel under the front rusted out and collapsed when I was unloading. Looks fixable but I don't have a loader so getting it lifted up will be an adventure. Luckily the old artsway keeps rollin
One question? On our bags, when we grain the white of the bag is out. Directions say when doing silage the black should be out. I think if the black was out it absorbs the sun and makes condensation for fermentation. Don’t know if it really matters?????
Belo vídeo, mas uma perca de massa de uns 50% por causa de falta de chuvas ,uma pena . Aqui no sul do Brasil RS 🇧🇷 na minha região quase 300 milímetro de chuva por semana ,tudo alagado .
That's the first time ever that I have seen how you put one of those bags on the machine. You two make it look so easy
Glad to see the harvest is coming along. Having an extra hand to help out is a blessing.
Another good day of work done. No major break downs. 👍
Nice to see brothers working at it😊
Your LUCKY TO HAVE A STRONG BROTHER TO HELP YOU GET THE BAG ON THE BAGGER !!!!!!!!😊❤❤❤
I miss chopping cow chow!!! End of the day you lay down to rest, and still hear that chopper!!! Another great video! Thanks!!
Glad your back at it bless you and your family
My heart is always with the small farmers. Love to watch the chopper gobble up the corn.
Thanks for showing how the bagger works. It is very interesting

Yeah, we usually use the bale spear,but didn't have an extra hand to run the skidsteer. Thanks for watching!
Yep part B of that plan, need someone to run skidsteer!!@@trinitydairy

Those are gorgeous, the northern lights. Good video as always.
Northern Lights are always beautiful. Both our silo's and a bag is full here in Southern MN.

Great video always injoy watching you and your family God bless
👀🙄🐾👍Great video A&J nice to see the northern lights
Thanks for the video. Been farming my whole life and I never saw a bagger set up start to finish
Like watching your videos small farmer has my heart. I'm a retired construction worker layed brick for living. I would love to help you grow but my funds are not great. But love what you do you have a good soul and love your family
Always wondered how those big white bags got filled. We had silos until hurricane Carol remodeled our buildings.
That is great that Paul helps you and your family
Very nice job and God bless y'all
Alan thanks for filming putting the bag on. I have never seen that done, definitely not a one man job.
That's some nice corn
Beautiful sky
Making progress 👌 corn looks pretty decent for the dry year. Hopefully everything keep working for you 🤞
Evenings are really getting shorter. Lots to do yet before winter.
Glade chopping is going good
As always a great video. Even though it was a dry summer your corn looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the next video. God Bless you and your family
Brings back memories you have to roll with the punches God bless
Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊
I am SO glad we never used bags
theyre more work than people know
Everybody around here in Ohio switched to drive over piles. Those are still a lot of work because they cover them and put tires on the plastic.
Awesome video as always
Another great one guys , be safe out there...Andrew
Good video.
I'm on day 7 of corn silage as well. Everyday something has broken. It's been a rough year
Keep on chopping, your cows depend on it. Looks like Paul has put that bag on a few times, he knows what he is doing and strong enough to do it. How much does that box with the bag in weigh? Nice pictures of the northern lights. Stay safe and God Bless.
I would guess it weighs about 150 pounds.
Paul big man
A real vintage farm. Mostly pre- 1980 equipment.
Tks for sharing Alan. At first I thought that box with the bag in it was empty? The way Paul was handling it. Lucky to have a power house like him on your side.

Thank you!
I have now been trained to prep an ag-bag for corn silage filling. 🌽🌽 Great video once again !
Great video are those bags very costly keep up the great work.
$420 for an 8 by 150
Hey them are aftermarket lights😊
wow doing that bagger alone would be something hope the cows produce after this

Yes, I have if I have an extra person to run the skid steer while Paul and I help get it in place.
Hey Allen,,great video. Always loved cutting silage. Looks like ya been doing a little logging?
That's actually the neighbors firewood.

The bags are just one time use.

Yeah, still under the weather, but getting better, slowly but surely.
In the old days people thought the northern lights were the sun shining off the ice at the north pole until scientists figured it out differently.

are you guys planning on going to heidelburgers fall sept 30th auction
Yes
Been meaning to ask (maybe I missed it) what ever happened to Paul's 560?
It's still around, but needs some TLC, he's hoping to get it in the shop this winter.
I usually have to put my 7x200 bags on myself.

Oh yeah.. forgot.. the northern lights must be very Beautiful where your at? Your up north more then where im at..

I've never looked at them really close, but I'll have to start checking.
@@trinitydairy you're welcome to give me a hand, then you'll know what not to do
One question? On our bags, when we grain the white of the bag is out. Directions say when doing silage the black should be out. I think if the black was out it absorbs the sun and makes condensation for fermentation. Don’t know if it really matters?????
I'm not sure either, the box for our bags say to put the bag on the other way for grain. What you are saying makes sense.
what's up with the log pile beside the corn feild
That's the neighbor's firewood.
Hi Allan how much do you pay for an bag for silage??? Thank you
$420 for an 8 by 150
how many acres of corn silage do you figure you get into one of those silage bags?
I'm not sure, I've never really looked into it, but I would guess around 20, depending on the corn.
👍
How long is a silage bag and what does the bag cost?
$420 for an 8 by 150
I was wondering if it possible to jam up the bagger by feeding it too fast?
You can't really plug it, it would just fill up the hopper and spill out if it was fed in faster than it ran it through.
Did you get your hi low fixed on the 1206
No.
