Dry Corn Silage Disaster for Old New Holland

The late planted corn (July 4) is cut and the silo has room. So let's top off the silo with this dry corn (June 10). I think we had ear jamming issues because the lower gathering chains were loose. Why were the lower gathering chains loose? probably from wear. And this was my big fear for why we put new chains on the previous head, then we buy a head to fit our row width and Bam, it all goes wrong. Good this this was close enough to being the last load.

A short time fix is remove the broken knives and the knives opposite on the drum to balance then should be ok to finish
I have a friend who farms with old equipment (like I do ), he says "I can run pretty hard for a week or so, then I have to stop and lick my wounds." Looks like their is wound licking in your future.
Broken machines wait, loan payments do not.
I’m so sorry for your troubles, stay positive and stay awesome!
That’s when having metal alert pays off. It saved my knives who knows how many times.
Good thing you didnt pick up big rock wood be bad.
That stinks! At least it happened towards the end of chopping.
Ouch I’m sorry for your loss. That hurt my insides when I heard it go through. I thought you were just gonna stall the chopper.
Antique equipment problems.
Are you gonna add water to the dry silage? While running into silo.
That looks awful... its gonna be annoying to fix and in a rough spot lol.
Keep working hard tho because I’m loving these vids!
dust/leaves plug the alternator diodes get hot burn out inside the regulator huge expensive problem on modern tractors to. at work we're still copping corn 11/14/19 ground is froze so is the header for the claas chopper. boss got stuck in the water left the head there and now we can't get it out so hired a custom outfit to come finish filling bags as of yesterday corn is 31% soybeans is 16% adm wont accept beans over 15%. corn beans triticale oats/peas was all planted august triticale was a total fail
Yep never fails... always something. At least you guys were just about done. Coulda been worse coulda been halfway through the first load! Hope repairs go easy and not too expensive. OL J R :)
That's usually where my hearing protection is " What did you say I can't hear you the choppers is too loud"
I am so sorry. I really like this chopper. You cannot predict machine catastrophic failure, I thought I could see an animal down in front of the head just before failure. I do not see too much additional damage which could have failed the main shaft.
Never walk backwards in a corn field!
we now will not put that off for a later date we will repair that before it gets to be put away
Friend of mine chopped for 20 years with a John Deere 5400 and he always said the worst days they ever had were when they chopped a gathering chain. Thanks to this video I finally understand haha
Metal cow cant eat.
Try Joe's Machinery in Willow Street Pa for NH chopper parts
We get his catalog every year.
A good PVM Program would have prevented that I wouldn't wait till spring to fix that you'll be getting ready for planting season if learned the hard way better to fix immediately than to put it off otherwise everything gangs up on ya best of luck those old fox choppers were the to have back in the day
figure out the problem get some replacement parts fix and get back out it seasons over not where I come from
Murphys law
this make good silage?
Sorry to hear what happened, tough break .
Oh dear, sorry about that. Time to get the combine out🙂
If it ain't breaking down then you ain't farming at least that's the way it works for us
Jay, I always say it don't break sitting in the shed 😆
We used to have a JD 5720 with a 4 row conversion head that dad ran a gathering chain through and destroyed a bunch of knives on. Finished chopping 120 acres that year with a pull type 3970 and a 2 row head.
We had a 3' snow in September and froze hard so by the time the custom chopper came to my place the corn was only 50% moisture at the best. To bad about your chopper.
Three feet of snow???
It was a pretty awful early blizzard
Oh No!!! Really sorry! Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks. The repair will make a project to video and post on Utube 😀
he is putting more on the ground than the wagon
Wow painful but not terminal , give your self a while to soak it up and you'll be able to access the damage better , I know it sucks but if it was easy everyone would do it!! Good luck and thanks for the video !!
No more green yay
There are some breakdowns that sound minor , and then there is the other kind !!!!
That one was very definitely in the Latter Category 😢
PS the repair will make a good video .👍
I'm sure there will be video. Plows rarely break.
@@boehmfarm4276 I had a Trace Chain break once and Feed itself into the drum of A old MF 510 combine , you would not believe the noise that made . I’m sure your budget mechanic skills will win through. Good luck with the fix 👍
We had that happen last year on our jd copper. We had to replace all the knives and some other odds and ends. We will just say it was not the most fun task lol. It was a pretty expensive thing to have happen. Anyways sorry to see that happen to ya. Good luck
Ok so the brandy new to you chopper is sick, when your shower is over get the green chopper hooked up and finish filling the silo. Overly dry silage corn, granted is not the most desireable silage but running water into the blower as you load the last of the dry silage will still cure just fine and make reasonable feed. As I recall you don't have a silo unloader so the green chopper made green feed so what is the diff. a full silo is a full silo? Let's roll !
👍👌🇨🇦❤
😎
Just another one of those "oh shit !!!!!" situations that you hear about from time to time
We had a gathering chain come off our Gehl snapper head and went through the chopper that had a screen in it. It was ugly but we put all new gather chains on and sharpened the knives and we were back at it. We took a big magnet that was off of a feed mill/grinder and went through the wagon and got most if not all the metal picked out of it. Unloaded the wagon onto the ground and went through it again with the magnet. We fed that load of earlage/snaplage up right away and had no problems. Good luck with the repair! We were fortunate to not break or bend any knives.
OUCH! I'd recognize that sound anywhere. As much as I hate the rubber gathering belts on the IH chopper, when they get sucked in they pass harmlessly through the chopper. Still looking for a New Holland because at least you can get parts... We only finished chopping this year because of Dad's cat like reflexes on the head reverser. It popped a belt but he stopped the head before it went into the chopper.
A few new knives, new shear bar, and the gathering chains off the narrow head, and she'll be right as rain again.
The narrow head is an older model and uses a different link for the lower gathering chains.
Man I know that must really suck
That spout on the chopper needs to be longer, but not taller. You're losing a lot to the wind
It was longer, which the extra length was too much weight to turn the spout.
Smash that 👍For the Boehm Farms .
Yes, thank you!
Will gathering chains can be bought and borrowing the neighbors chopper can happen to . A plan B is good to have
The plan B is that we were only a couple loads from full, so we called it a day.
Def only chop the headlands and where you expect poor yields! I was thinking the roof would be nice, too
I wish the chopper was faster on the road so I could go to all my fields and have them ready to ear pick and not have to wait on the combine.
Oh bummer, sorry to see that happen to you guys.
Why did he start it back up if he knew it was broke you guys cost yourselfs a bunch of money.
That’s smaller
I hate seeing that happen to you guys . I been meaning to ask how did your O.P. corn do this year ?
According to my uncle Jim, it didn't yield well, bit after the growing season we had, he's lucky his field had anything to offer.
@@boehmfarm4276 Save the seeds from the best ears. Next year it will do a lot better . It will adapt . It took me 4 years to grow huge ears and great yields .
If your on Facebook I could send you pics of what mine did after the 4 years .
Hope the rest of the year goes better for you guys
Dang, sorry man.
crash bang boom!!
Man I hate that for y'all
My wife picked up 2 rocks in the field and put them in the chopper box outfeed with the intent to take them out before pulling up to the blower. Well, she forgot about them and my nephew started unloading-well let's just say those 2 stones were worth $3000 a piece. That was a sound I still hear 20 years later 🤑
Was she picking up rocks just to remove them from the field or were they supposed to make it to her flower bed??
Does she still run the machine
@@boehmfarm4276 Just to get them out of the field. If they would have been for a flower bed 😈. She's actually very conscientious, just a brain fart.
@@chrismanning3911 She did up until we sold the cows. Stuff happens.😊
Ouch ,what a bumer
Real Farming 👍👍
It's always miserable when machines break,
Hope that silage is sufficient until spring.
We should be good, we are a few head below average.
@@boehmfarm4276 Good.
Steel in feed? Thanks
Oof! Was that all that was damaged? Hope it the damage isn't too bad.
We need gathering chains, at least a couple knives and a shear bar.
Oy...
Tough one there
Wish you lived close no one around me does silage...ineed someone to chop a couple acres of hemp....best silage inthe world
Best silage in the world, and I know why, cause I got high, cause I got high, cause I got high 🎶🎶🎶
Best stuff in the world to wrap fibres around moving parts...
You need really sharp blades...
@@boehmfarm4276🤣 I don't think he means that hemp! Ohhh... funny but poor Daniel!
woohoo...first
You need a drone for more fun farming action !!
We're getting there on the drone.
Rip. Greenchop on top?
We were really close to full. We just green chopped for a while longer before opening the silo.
@@boehmfarm4276 good call. Hopefully just the knife took an L
Hello
How do you determine how many acres of corn to plant ?
Dad's been doing this a few years, so he has a rough idea how much corn will fill the silo. As far as shelled corn I plant half of my acres in corn and half to beans and then switch the next year. I'd be thrilled to do continuous corn though. I hate soybeans.
Did metal make it into the wagon? What do you if it did?
We did absolutely nothing. So far so good with the cattle. Dad doesn't think they will eat it. If I saw pieces I picked them out when feeding.
