Orrson Custom Farming Corn Silage Harvest in North West Ohio

- In this video I am out in the field with Orrson Custom Farming out of Apple Creek Ohio as they custom harvest corn silage for a dairy farm in Northwest Ohio. In the video Orrson is chopping corn silage using their two Krone Big X 1180 self propelled forage harvester with Krone Easy Collect 1050-3 headers that can take 14 30 inch rows of corn per pass. They are running 10 semi trucks and trailers to haul the chopped silage from the field back to the dairy farm where they are unloading then pushing and packing a pile of silage using their Case IH 500 & 550 articulate 4WD tractors with front blades plus their 3 Fendt 927 tractors all with front mounted blades.
There was a lot of action going on making this quite a long video. I shot this video on the evening of September 8 and the morning of September 9, 2022. The video includes lots of drone footage from 3 different fields plus some ground shots with some in cab footage as I rode in one of the choppers.
Orrson Custom Farming is based out of Apple Creek Ohio and does custom forage harvesting from Georgia to Michigan.

I think Krone Big X 1180 is the coolest forage harvester currently. Amazing video! So much action! These guys are doing a good job with good equipment.
14 rows is chompin some corn, that spout is blowing hard in those trucks..Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
*love your video*
Omg my one of my favorite type of videos corn silage and harvest
That's some corn chopping sons of guns right there.
These guys will be in central MI next week, our custom crew has worked beside these guys a few years in a row now, they don't screw around
Great Video. Something you dont see everyday.
blues and bluegrass? you bet. I like the choices
Krone is the best ever . Best hay tools ever too
That's a really professional looking outfit there. Choppers, trucks, trailers, tractors, the whole crew is spot on. Great video.
Awesome video Mike!! Thanks for the amazing 52 minutes of chopping action! I didn’t realize Krone’s biggest model could run an easy collect head eating up 14 rows!! That’s impressive!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
OMG I love jackfruits ❤❤❤❤ Ahao was so proud sharing his sister’s food to his friends 😂😂
Nice video Mike like the way they did everything
Probably one of my favourite videos by you Mike. Love your content! Cheers from Ontario!
They have good communication and work like a well-oiled machine👍👍👨🌾👨🌾🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
This is amazing I come off a small farm in SE Ga
The krone choppers look nice😉👍 that's a great silage video👍👍
Se vieni in italia passa a trovarmi Mike!!!
Great video Mike 👍👍
You guys have so huge farms😮😮😮
Excellent video ,I enjoy watching these machines in action
Awesome video! I remember following Orrson's blog probably over 10 years ago when they got their first Krone and Fendt machines. Great video as always Mike!
I love them 113 cascadias. So easy to maneuver.
Dual chrome tips exhaust. Krone is a BEAST!
That's a heck of a nice stand of corn. Really even and not a single weed. Great video as usual Mike . Thank you
Excellent video, love watching the Orrson crew whenever I'm lucky enough to see them, they sure don't fool around, thanks for sharing this Mike!
Great video!
Greetings from the UK, your footage is as always, awesome, with plenty of varied interest and you can make them long as you like ! You are the boss man Mike ❤️🏴🇬🇧✌️ 7:14
Thanks 👍
Mike you've done it again what a fantastic video you have captured every thing top man looking forward to your next video thanks again Mike 👍🏴
Thanks Mike good stuff. GOD Bless !!🙏
I like Mike less videos on TH-cam from the imperial county California 🌽🌽🌽👍🖐️🇺🇲
Me too! From southern Tennessee
Thanks Mike another great video
Awesome action packed video Mike enjoyed watching thanks!!!
That's crazy how you encountered one of the custom harvesting crews you filmed at the Bob Evans you ate at, and even found their equipment sitting on the back of semi-trucks parked in the parking lot of the hotel you stayed at! :0
Awesome
Those choppers are impressive, and the head looks simpler than other brands
Work at krone dealer they are very good choopers, just sold a 1180
I did noice that sawitchoff which makes a lot of sense. Some of the others blow a lot back into the field trying to get the truck full. But I also noticed a lot of green in the field where these guys could execute better. Great video that we can see all this stuff!
I love the Banjo music in this video as well as the video
Great video Mike
Absolutely love your videos! The way in which this people work is simply fascinating. If that corn silage is for a dairy farm those dairy farms must be massive? Gives you a whole new appreciation for what these people do and likewise your vantage points are amazing shearing this with others.
Thanks Mike I appreciate all your hard work.
A well-coordinated effort by an experienced crew!!!
Look how neat they work satisfying my eyes 😊
Love your videos! Get to see so many machines I never knew existed!
Hey Mike, if you're back up at this dairy again during silage with Orrsons feel free to come take some shots of the manure pumping if you want! My family pumps the manure for this dairy they're at! We use a dragline system for stuff that's within roughly a 2 and a half mile distance. Then we have a semi tanking crew come in to haul the manure farther distances to a frac tank that we pump out of from there!
Sounds good! Send me an email to mklss686farmhand@gmail.com and we can exchange contact information.
I find the two tractors piling just going in circles following each other an interesting concept as well. Seems to be very efficient.
We do the circle packing for safety. It is hard to see behind the tractor and for the operator always trying to turn their head and watching the mirrors is very nerve racking
This crew is like a well orchestrated symphony where all know just when to jump in to contribute their part of the movement! Real sweet! This crew must be gone for 8 months a year. Not too bad if you are single. Mike would it be possible to film one of the big dairies when covering the silage with the plastic covers? Curious to see how the do that when it is a few hundred feet long and real wide! Thanks again Mike. Happy trails!
so good❤
I know it’s probably not easy but I would love a good shot/over view of the controls in the cab of the chopper or the tractors too. 👍. Great video
Great video! That must be a very skilled and well seasoned crew, because they make it look flawless! I’m digging & appreciating those live bottom trailers where they don’t have to dump and risk tipping a trailer, with a little side, hang up.
The green truck looks like an old Transystems truck
I was wondering what they where doing, but it makes sense to do it what way. That is a mighty expensive tow job
Great video Mike. Always wondered which is more efficient when unloading at the silage clamp face, whether drive across the pit or to reverse into the pit face. Brilliant piece of video showing the header folding up, cab and spout returing to road position.
Waw..dahsyat
Super les machines😅
Super matos😅
You should have had a few minutes of the radio chatter. Show us what it’s all about!
The radio can be very entertaining from time to time. Would have to have a beep editing out some of the stuff to keep it kid friendly. We are usually just letting the trucks know when to pull forward or drop back. Telling the next truck to line up on the next sets of rows if this one is going to be full at the end. We will let trucks know if we find wet or holes spots so they can avoid them. Truck dives talk about road situations or hazards. Packing tractor drivers talk about where they might see a low spot on the pile or if someone like the dairyman, the sample takers or a nutritionist is approaching the pile. We stop all of tractors on the pile if a person walks towards the area.
it seems that the easy collect head pull in a lot more at the end of the rows, no big clumps falling off the head at the headland
I've heard really good things about the Krone easy Collect head. Year Ago I was out in Arizona and seen Claas choppers with the Krone header on them.
@@farmhandmike I know that the Orbis type heads are very popular for corn, but these seem to knock over far less at the end of the rows. thanks for replying, Mike
45 trailer would be the best because well if you know you know
I do know.

How is your progress on smellavision? I can only imagine. Happy subscriber 😊!
How many acres can they harvest in one day? How many tons per acre did this farm produce? Just curious. I can not imagine the expense to start and then actually run an operation like that.
As a city boy, I love watching your channel because I can't see this in FL.
As the chopper does it's job and then pumps it out to the wagons I wonder if the choppers have a "cruise control" that keeps it straight and who controls the chute to the wagons?
The choppers have auto guidence the operator controls the chute
If they are like a combine, if you push the hydrostat stick forward and let go, the stick will day there and keep you at that speed
Зарплата у механизаторов какая 🇰🇿🙋♂️👍
Nice video farmhand mike 👍 have you ever thought about coming up to wny to make silage videos we have tons of action up here combines too.
Yes if it ever worked out I'd love to come up there for some silage videos.
That would be awesome someday
How do they haul when it is too muddy in the fields for the trucks?
We have side dump carts and tractors that run beside the chopper and then go dump on the semi beside the road. 2 dumps for a semi load
Have you been or will you be going to Tripple R Farms in Georga?
How much price of Cron sailge today per ton
Gute Qualität und er labert nicht so viel schöne Video
How many tons per hour can they harvest
I'll see if I can find out.
In this video with good corn, and good conditions we are harvesting about 375-400 tons per hour per chopper. Not all fields go this good
How many tons per acre was this field yielding?
It’s been a year plus but I think it was 27-28 tons per acre
Just wondering do these contractors charge by the acre and type of crop or is it hourly rates for the equipment and employees?
How many tons to the acre do they average where I’m at in central Washington it’s 30-40
We charge by the ton on a dry matter corrected basis. Try to make it fair for everyone. Add in some mileage if the haul is further than 3 miles.
OCFcrew
Do you know the farm name in Georgia?
Not right off I don't.
We cut for multiple dairies but Godfrey dairy is on of the main ones
Mike b 😊
How do they figure cost for custom operations
It varies but I think most charge by the ton they chop.
Every load crosses a scale at the dairy farm and samples are taken to track moisture level in the crop to adjust the per ton price. Wetter feed less per tons. Cows diets are balanced on dry matter consumed daily so we charge accordingly
Yeah, everything gets weighed on a big scale at the farm
Who makes their trailers?
MAS out of Dalhart Tx
now get steiner custom farming out of orrville if you want to see the real deal
Awesome video Mike!! Thanks for the amazing 52 minutes of chopping action! I didn’t realize Krone’s biggest model could run an easy collect head eating up 14 rows!! That’s impressive!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
