Great video Mike. One of the jobs I enjoyed the most was, chopping 12’+ corn through a harvester. My experience was with 2 row 718 New Holland with a 180 A/C. It’s been 25 years now. Just the sound takes me back. Thank you for the moment of nostalgia.
Mike I always enjoy everyone of your videos.i never get tired of watching them even if they were from year or two ago .I always loved this time of the year chopping corn silage and filling silo or again bags. Especially when my aunt had the dairy farm .but unfortunately she passed now 10 years ago and the farm was sold . And yes miss those days wished I could go back to those days when I would chop corn silage and smell that fresh cut corn silage. And yes I do miss the dairy cows to as well . Just wanted to say thank you very much for all the hard work you put into your videos. Really would love to meet you in person some time. Lord willing that is. Keep up the good work and again thank . GOD BLESS
Brings back a lot of memories when I was teenager. Although I was pulling those wagons with an old Massey 285, and no self-hitching. Held on tight and prayed a-lot in hill country.
One of my neighbors back home runs a small dairy and and quite a bit of custom hay. He has two of those 6 series masseys, he swears by them. Uses them to mow and bale with his NH stuff. I also know a feedlot guy that switched from 8rts to Massey 8 series for his kinze planters. Feels like agco has been growing a lot in the past decade
Kinda Sad Gehl had to get out of Ag, but understandable. Dad always wished we could have had a 600->750 (small) Gehl chopper in the day. Years later I got to run a 750 with our old Deutz 68-06 after it was sold to a relative. Damn good choppers!! Dion makes some nice stuff! Uncle had 2 Dion forage boxes. 16' and a 20' with the auger in front. Very nice wagons.
Nice to see some farms run all masseys. My farm has masseys to but they're a lot older. Got a 1080 and a 285 as the big guys. A 65 as the daily driver for putting out round bales and my dad just bought a 270 loader 2 years ago
Great video Mike, I love the whine of a trailed precision chopper running at maximum capacity. Reminds me of when I was a kid in Northern UK with a NH 717 and 719. Nice to see that not all farms are now running huge self propelled, or using custom contractors, and doing it themselves with reasonable sized equipment, instead.
Like everyone else in the comments section of this video, it is great to watch. I do have a 'hang up' about vertical silos however. To me those silo ladders along the loading pipe is not at all safe. When near the top of the silo all's a guy has is those rungs to stand on. What if it's a rainy and windy day and the farmer has to climb to the top of the silo? I mean one wrong slip and it's bye bye. I feel that there should be some type of elevator idea, like an enclosed box to ride up in. Just my opinion. At any rate thanks for showing.
Farming is a dangerous occupation for sure. Most of the time though the silo is accessed through the chute. Probably wouldn’t be climbing the outside on a wet day.
@@ROCK-s1t Well, okay, I'm glad you asked. If there would be a way to install vertical railings on the outside of the corn silo, and then attached to it would be some enclosure and with an electric motor, throw a switch and then the farmer would SAFELY -- move up to the top of the silo to perform some type of task. When he is done, then all he has to do, is climb back in the small enclosure and come back down. Of course with this contraption you need steel cables and the like---anyway some such idea like that similar to an apartment elevator. You will now ask, well if such a contraption is possible the cost would be enormous and you'd be right. Just look at it this way. How many farmers out there spend 100,000 dollars plus on a brand new pick up truck? Lots of them. Moreover, how many times, little sons and daughters secretly fear when their father has to climb to the top of the silo fearing he might slip and fall? The same for his wife. Under certain circumstances it is always best to dismiss, economics and practicality. Human life and peace of mind ALWAYS come first.
The self-hitching coupling is so impressive and genius. Liked that part of the video. The drone shots were just amazing. No wonder why I like Mike 👍. Happy subscriber 😊! We need a new term for silage on top of the trailer. Cab corn does not work.
Hello everyone good vidéo mike Iess A farmer friend of my boss and I we have an nh 1880 and direct to hitch a meyer forage trailer of 35,000 liters Personally I love me I drive an oliver 1900 105 hp engine 4-53 strait diesel and the trailer of 35,000 liters I tell you not like he yells the nh 1880 to do 3 field tours and after the jd 4520 repower detroit diesel v8 295 hp and the gehl 2 row forage harvester
Nice setup The Massey Ferguson on the harvestor doing a great job What horse power would it have Back in the seventies would have been nice to not to hook up and unhook wagons 😂
Man that Dion chopper can eat!! Sure would be fun to watch a 8S 400hp in front of the chopper. Great video Mr Mike! Just wondering if this is the same farm that the Dairy bros live on??Was subscribed to their channel but everything was deleted.
Yes it is Dairy Bros Apparently TH-cam removed the videos because the boys we’re working on the farm and YT said it was dangerous. They said they disputed but nothing happened. This makes no sense to me as they are just good farm kids and not that young. They aren’t doing anything different than any other farm kid those ages.
That's sad! I started running tractors and machinery at 7 years old. By today's standard I guess my dad was irresponsible 😅 and me with my son when he was younger. If you don't teach them young they'll never learn anything, especially a good work ethic. Thanks for the update Mike and hope you have a great day! Give those boys some encouragement and let them know that there are a few people still needing to see some Massey videos!
All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of the Farm Equipment Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏
Love video Mike I am a huge MASSEY FERGUSON fan & an anti deere john guy I am a very proud owner of some old MASSEY FERGUSON tractors an 1150 V8 Perkins powered ag tractor as well as some other models too. I also like the old white & orange case tractors. Not the new case international models. MASSEY FERGUSONs are the only REAL RED farm tractors. No green & yellow here. JDs are thee most overated tractors on the market period because deere johns combines are always literally burning down they use too much plastic on there equipment that's why they are more prone to burning down to nothing. NOTHING FALLS APART LIKE A DEERE.
Nice to see red tractors then green tractors for a change
I love the SP harvesters, but there's something special and cool about the pull type. They're just more fun to watch.
love massey tractors
Great pull type chopper😉👍 it's always nice to see massey ferguson tractors in action👍😁
Thanks alot for the video👍

The hitching and unhitching mechanisims are kool.
Been waiting on this video after seeing the short....awesome setup!
Brings back a lot of memories when I was teenager. Although I was pulling those wagons with an old Massey 285, and no self-hitching. Held on tight and prayed a-lot in hill country.
Sweet video especially liked that 2wd Massey
I could watch these all day. Great video as usual!
That hitch system is certainly a time saver!
Great video Mike, that harvester is awesome. 😊I always loved chopping corn when our family did it. 👍
Great. Well done 👍.
Nice looking equipment. Thanks for sharing the video Mike.
What a difference comparedto my youth. We were chopping corn with a 35 hp Deutz D4006 with a single row Mengele Maisblitz mbj…
Mike I like those fast hitch. Makes life a little easier. Sure beats getting up& down from tractor all day.
Good video good to see you

Good content, Mike! Very good drone work....a true "bird's-eye view!" Much appreciation.
Great footage of an awesome family set up. it's nice to see pull type chopping, dont see many doing swath chopping tho
Neat video
dion and john deere have joint partnership in choppers and blowers.
Great video Mike. We run all Massey's as well. They are fantastic tractors that really are overlooked by a lot of people. I have run every color
I like Mike less videos on TH-cam from the imperial county California 👍👍👍🇺🇲🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽
I grew up in Mercer County near Celina.
Great video Mike you do a awesome job enjoy your videos
Neat video Mike
That chopper sorta looks like a scorpion from the right side.

The backside of those wagons is gonna be rounded by the end of their season!....That chopper sends it in!✅️💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one mike
How silage is taken out of silos
Hello everyone good vidéo mike Iess
A farmer friend of my boss and I we have an nh 1880 and direct to hitch a meyer forage trailer of 35,000 liters Personally I love me I drive an oliver 1900 105 hp engine 4-53 strait diesel and the trailer of 35,000 liters I tell you not like he yells
the nh 1880 to do 3 field tours and after the jd 4520 repower detroit diesel v8 295 hp and the gehl 2 row forage harvester
Nice setup The Massey Ferguson on the harvestor doing a great job What horse power would it have Back in the seventies would have been nice to not to hook up and unhook wagons 😂
How to choppe silage the other way. They don't have to cover the pit. How clean, that farm. Do they have otter massey's?
Man that Dion chopper can eat!! Sure would be fun to watch a 8S 400hp in front of the chopper. Great video Mr Mike! Just wondering if this is the same farm that the Dairy bros live on??Was subscribed to their channel but everything was deleted.

C'mon, c'mon... everybody get to da choppah! -Ahh-nold
How long does it take to do an acre of silage with that setup?
I wonder if thay make a cutter that fits on a front PTO trackter???😳😳😳
😎😎
how many acres of corn do they chop a year ?
How many mph was they chopping at? I’m looking at buying one of these choppers
When I rode in the cab I was thinking 4.5 mph is what the display said.
😊
Mike what is the tank on the cutter for?
The tanks for inuculent helps furment the silage.
Probably all from North Star
