That's cool how you do that!! My distant uncle got some corn silage bails for the beef cows he has ever since I saw him get some I've always wondered how it gets bailed, I was thinking it got chopped by a forage chopper but gotta say I should have known it could be mowed. Thank you for posting this educational video I really appreciate it!!
Hey just curious how this turned out I am tempted to try this did the cows choke was one of my consernes and did they wast very much with the big stocks of the corn
Are you running the chopper in the baler if you have one was thinking of trying this also. Curious if it works great was thinking on trying standing sweet corn feilds if I can get them..
How many wraps of net and film to keep them tight and airtight? We're in drought and short on hay this year. I'm thinking of buying some standing irrigated corn and baling for feed but don't want to screw it up on the wrapping.
How do you like the kubota 5160 baler? Have you had much trouble with them? I have just bought one but I would like to hear other peoples first hand experience. Thanks
Since I've had to hire others at a very high cost to chop my corn and bag it. I do have all my own haying equipment and wonder if this will work just as well for my beef cattle. I could do it myself but not sure the cows would eat the course stalks too good or get much out of the corn because it's not crushed up some for them to be able to digest it. Do you do this every year or is this a first time? Thanks for the video!
firewoodguru you need a silage chopping baler and they need to be rapped for a month before feeding. a mix mill with some grains and your cows will love it.
I have a JD Silage baler. No mixer though. I was thinking I might be able to bale it like this, then try and drop them into my bagger to help crush them up that way. No need to wrap them or hire choppers and wagons. idk. Thinking maybe the bales would be too much for a 7 ft Kelly Ryan bagger?
firewoodguru corn bales need to be rapped for 1 month minimum to silage. If you don't do it the feed quality will gas off and quility will significantly be reduced.
Yes I realize that. What I was thinking was to chop it myself they way you are, then dropping the entire bale into my silage bagger and Ag Bag it like traditional silage. Just not sure the bagger would handle the bales or not.
@@firewoodguru if you can set the bales in to the bad with a loader, it would work great... But if you have to go through the bag stuffer, it might not work so well..... They make machines to bag bales with also. When we did haylage many years ago, we used the AgBags that would hold two bales... I would think you could figure a way to use the tubes.
Please show me how a guy makes better corn silage with nothing but haying equipment.... NONE. This is way less costly than buying all the special equipment needed to make “proper” silage while killing two birds with one stone with your equipment
