In this video I am out at Three Flags Dairy Farm near Forest Ohio as they harvest their 2021 corn crop for silage for their dairy cow herd. They are chopping the corn silage in the field with their Krone Big X self propelled forage harvester and hauling the silage back to the pile at the dairy farm using a fleet of semi trucks and a Massey Ferguson Tractor and Penta dump wagon. Also in the video you will see a John Deere and New Holland tractor pushing and packing the silage pile.
Every time I see those Penta wagons, I like them more and more. Oh of course. I forgot. 5 stars for Mike!
That kind (but not that brand) is quite popular in Europe. Krampe, Joskin, Peecon, Kröger, Veenhuis and Perrard are popular examples. I've got a Hilken, but with just two axles.

Great Video Mike, there's something therapeutic about watching maize silage being chopped into bins and taken back to the pit! thanks for sharing
German Chopper and German flag at the Massey Ferguson.... Greetings from Germany! 🧐😁😉👍👍👍
Nothing better on a Saturday morning than a fresh cup of coffee & a Mike Less silage video!
nice to see one of my favourite youtubers at my friends´ farm in the USA. Greetings from Holland
Nice to see some NH tractors working and watching a SP harvester chopping corn is always great.
My hat is off to those hard working dairymen.
Grand silage operation!
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
First time watching your video I really like the variety of equipment your showing. I'm from south Texas corpus Christi.
Good to know. Still, I'd adjust them to avoid wear and the noise. Then, if you hear something in a noisy tractor, you'll know to stop & check it out. Nothing works like a well-oiled (greased) machine. Love the big farm operation. Wow, Great video
Well the scrapers need to be close to the disk blade but It only take a little flex in a blade or the gang and you get some rubbing.
Just what we used to do at the alfalfa pellet mill i worked at but i ran a harvester called a field queen and fill the trucks 🚚the last three years there i ran loader feeding the pellet mill, the best times and job I've ever had- this was in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan DEHY Plant 👍
The Big X is a nice chopper😁👍
Another awesome silage video👍😉

اااهههه
great video love all the corn chopping action
I really enjoy watching your videos Mike. I bet it's more enjoyable out there with the equipment making videos? Very cool Mike 👍🏻 😊.
Very cool video Mike. Great job! I enjoyed the farm’s eclectic collection of equipment!
Great video Mike! Can't believe how fast that went by! Very good drone views. It's funny the things that stick out watching videos. I noticed the German flag on the Massey and the yellow dual on the New Holland pit tractor. Just observations, not judgments. Cool stuff!
This family migrated here from Germany
@@farmhandmike The family is originally from Holland, then they farmed in Germany and now already 10 years in the USA. Therefore the name Three Flags Dairy.
@@nhts90 i live right around the corner from these guys. Great people to have as neighbors. They was actually chopping. on my road in this video maybe a mile from my house
Great awesome video mike , great operation going on
Great. Well done.
As always, love the chopping videos, they're excellent!
Very cool Mike.
Love your videos especially the ones involving silage & wheat harvest , I've been close to several places you've been to when filming the wheat harvest ones
Please keep up the great work presenting your videos . What is the music you play during the video I really enjoy it . Thanks
Hey, big blue has a serious bearing squeal. A little grease keeps a big operation running.
That the disk scrapers hitting/rubbing the disk blades. It’s not the tractor.
Nice video!
They have it going on
Must be a new silage blade, the paint hasn't worn off yet.
Was just there yesterday
Lot corn silage rember those days
Just a question,how often do they replace knifes and do they sharpen in between on those big choppers.
Depending on how many acres are chopped, you may change the blades once a year, and the harvesters have an inbuilt sharpening system, I used to sharpen ours at least once a day sometimes twice a day chopping maize/corn, and at least twice a day chopping grass silage, we used to take half the blades out to chop grass to get a longer length of cut (just what the farmers here in New Zealand wanted 44mm), used to cut maize at 17mm.
Darren answered your question but there are lots of factors that go into this. Not only is keeping the knives sharp important but keeping your shear bar adjusted up the knives very important. The life of the chopper knives also has things like if the crop has dirt on it that will really wear the knives faster and keeping rocks out of the machine. In corn you are usually running the head off of the ground high enough that its not an issue. But yes I would say most guys do sharpen knives everyday and then set up the shear bar. I believe this is all done automatic on most of todays machines.
How were they able to plant over those irrigation lines? They would leave very visible gaps across the field.
You chopping twevel rows at time we chopped three with fox self propel
Hey mike on those silage kings do they have to replace the blade edges very often or at all it doesn't seem like it's on the pad for any length of time, thanks

สวัสดีเพื่อนแดนไกล
sounds like that disc needs a tube of grease!
Nope, That's the scrapers rubbing disk blades.
What does silage smell like?
It smells great is all I can say.
Money
Wet corn,it ferments during storage,like a still.
How many acres can they chop per day?
They tell me usually 80-110 acres per day depending on field size and such.
@@farmhandmike i thought maybe a little more but haul length factors in....thanks ML!
Where it is from
I like Mike less videos on TH-cam, from the imperial co California.
So you said that these guys were in the states then how come one of the tractors has a German flag on it
This family migrated over here from Germany.
I understand why they fly that flag, but to me Old Glory should be displayed also. Change is not easy for many folks...
@@louispaparella5766 they have a USA flag flying out in front of their farm
@@johndeereman3363 Cool...Guess I missed that...
@@louispaparella5766 it wasnt in the video. I live right around the corner from this farm.I go by it all quite a bit when i go places. I was just saying that they do have an American flag flying. Just not on the tractor
