Chopping Corn Silage in Hardin County Ohio 

It's a pleasure to watch these videos takes me back to young boy time. Neighbors worked together as a team to get each other's silage cut. Was wagons to begin with then pulled farm truck back wards then dump wagons to semis lived it all and always liked it as the combine harvest as well.

We would like to thank you for letting us ride along, y'all are AWESOME thank you...

I’m amazed at the size of these dairy units in the US. I was brought up and worked on the family 80 cow dairy unit in the UK until I was 24. Great videos you publish Mike and thank you for a look into the impressive US dairy industry.

I like the longer videos

Fantastic video buddy wonderful field and nice work! Have a wonderful day!

Awesome as aways keep coming for the new year right Mike .

Wow mister Mike!This images are amazing!Thank you for your new uploading!Many greetings from Hungary and Happy New Year!

Have both Deere and Claas currently, there is a reason the new Deere lineup resembles Claas.

Love these longer videos, thx Mike, keep em coing

Yes, I did notice those birds. Great stuff, as always, and I do love these corn silage things. As the year draws to an end one reflects on things past, and I remember when you passed 1000 subs about a couple of months after I started watching you. Hope you and your family have a safe and great forthcoming 2019.

I think you hit the nail on the head. It is as much or more the dealer that makes the difference.

We had to resort to tractors and wagons few years ago on account of wet fields know the struggle

Class is by far easiest to service and gets the job done

We had a freak accident first year we helped out cutter was running the truck along side cutter and corn stalk caught quick drain valve on oil pan drained oil out but caught it in time very lucky to have seen it before engine was wrecked. After that we learned to tie the lever on the valve with a plastic tie

cracking video Mike our contractor in ayrshire Scotland reckons the 970 class best on planet at minute and he's run quite a few different ones over the years!!!!!

I'm gonna vote for the John deere chopper tho the claas is a pretty good unit as well

And I thought the last video i watched was a big dairy. darn man!

Wow that is sure putting up feed eh. Should be good consistent feed. Thank you and Happy New Year Mike.

Awesome, Big Equipment , great video

Beautiful video. I get a big smile on my face when I see and hear all the machines. I was wondering about the forage harvesters spout. They can recognize the trailer automatically? How does it work? A big thankyou to you for all the work you put in to make these awsome videos.

Looks like the Claus moves faster than Deere. Deere has two extra rows but it appears a ten row head may actually be better. Claus makes a mean machine.

This farm is on the once know as the ( great scioto March), and was the onion capatial of the world back in early 30's to mid 50's

Our neighbor runs a John Deere 7980 ad he likes it and they chop a lot of corn with it and plus it's got big huge flotation duals on it and they get their some tractor Central in Wisconsin here by Ellsworth Wisconsin

The Claas is going faster but has a smaller head,it also has more horsepower than the John Deere. The John Deere is going a bit slower, has a larger head, and has less horsepower. Claas makes a good machine but I have to go with John Deere here. But I'm a New Holland fan myself. I see a lot of them up here in Wisconsin.

Very nice Video Mike...Happy New Year from Germany

Excellent

Watching the drone footage I noticed quite a bit of over shoot from the Class harvester. And not near as much with the Deere harvester. Then ground shots directly from behind with more bounce in the offload auger on the Claas than the Deere. Is it the shoot, suspension, tire size and inflation? Or some or all of above.

Like the videos. Nothing runs like a deere

Thanks for the video! Do you know why a lot of the dairy farms are running Volvo trucks its also nice to see a farm moving away from green gear!

ran both Deere and claas and claas by far is better. and k&l is a very good dealer worked with them when I worked at my previous job now we deal with burnips.

The new Deere choppers have the new technology to set up on the trucks and the chopper operator controls the truck and they are self loading... there’s a few videos out there of an eight year old running his dad’s chopper and it doesn’t have the technology I just spoke of... It’s something watch an eight year old running an almost million dollar machine!

Hardin County, OH....that’s Ada isn’t it?

As always, great video from Mike! Does anybody knows what is that white thing on tarp covering old silage, with tires? Is that just a color of tarp or something else? If it was winter, I would assume it is a snow.

What kind of camera are you using?

I wonder why they wouldnt upgrade the header on the claas. I know for sure that the claas has more horsepower and it has a better drive system. I believe they can go to a twelve or sixteen row header(pushing it) and still maintain speeda

Awesome farm and video. How to they decide which chopper to run trucks with and which one to run wagons with? This video deserves way more views by the way.

Mike, that Claas looks to me that it outclassed that JD, it sounds like it is hardly being pushed and it has power to spare, one mean machine. Your intro of the dairy looked like a catering hall, but I guess if your a cow you'ld have your wedding there. Worked a summer on a family farm, 40 girls, tail to tail in the barn, I was the master of the pitch fork & shovel.

Krone Big X 880 with Krone head hard to beat.

Do you know how many head of cattle they have looks like a lot with the big barns.

Is this silo storage system feasible in the tropics with high rainfall?

Any idea how many head they milk? Here in Michigan Dairy farms are closing fast. They better be diversified In there income sources as its hard to make money selling milk.

Hello Mike. Question, watching these combines in the way they cut the corn stocks swirling around the way they do. It's almost hypnotic. Does it have any effect on the driver watching that all day? I don't know much about farming... All I know is what I learned from the Mike Bloomsburg School of Farming.

Mike, what's your drone setup that you are capturing sound?

John Deere chopper kind of chokes sometimes, the claas seems to pull harder

Seems as though the head on the Deere is cutting the corn closer to the ground than the clause and that the corn is also drier

14:45 John Deere but claas is still a great brand

How many head of cattle is this operation 3 or 4 thousand?

Nice vid Mike 👍

Hello have a good day mister Mike!I've got one question to you.Those big trucks which are loaded by the corn chopper,how many cubic meter of chopped corn are able to carry?My estimation is about 100 cubic meter,but of course I suppose you know something more about that!Thank you for your attention,and I hope,I will get your answer soon from you.Furthermore I wish you have a good day from Hungary!

That's unreal with the birds. Yeah is a worry could damage drone

@ 17:50 What was the screeching noise from, and @ 22:30?

I need to know the spacing of the corn row

Claas all day long

Why dont they fill the semi all the way up?

Claas...German Power...

Trucks need stay back more so the chopper driver is working really hard to put weight on drive wheels of the truck so he will not get stuck but every buddy dose it here in California..

Rohrs farm use to chop for that dairy but stopped can you video rohrs farms someday there really good people I use to work for them

I'm glad I finally looked up how these industrial sized lawn mowers work. Pretty nifty toys. Which is better? Don't know, don't use them but they all are using the same basic technology. Who makes a more reliable package I guess is what experience would tell. I did hear elsewhere that John Deere is being called under fire for keeping their software near and deer to their hearts. And after telling farmers they would release the information on their equipment so they could service their own equipment or through third parties, they have sandbagged. So whoever is best, John Deere gets a no vote of confidence for yanking the farmers around. Boo..........

the front of the silage pile needs work ,,to much fluff so it cave off ,,as a packer man just saying ,not good

Hey mike how acres did they chop

I know exactly where that farms at I live in Northwest Hardin County my dad and I used to farm just down the road

😲👍💖

Nothing runs a deere 830 hp

Class is better..

John Deere is better too me

Today is my birthday and im wasted
