In this video, join us as we dive into the challenges and excitement of harvesting our second crop of hay. After a tough first harvest, we're hoping for a smoother process this time around. The pressure is on as we race against the clock and impending rain to get the hay harvested and turned into silage.
Watch as we work tirelessly to keep all our equipment running smoothly. From early morning maintenance checks to late-night fieldwork, every moment counts. Experience the highs and lows of farm life: the satisfaction of well-maintained machinery, the frustration of unexpected breakdowns, and the relentless push to get the job done before the rain comes.
We’ll take you through our strategies for efficient harvesting and show the teamwork that makes it all possible. Will we manage to get the hay in before the weather turns? Tune in to find out and see if our second crop can redeem the challenges we faced earlier in the season. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to follow our farming journey and see how we overcome the odds!

I miss Idaho, but not the smell of hay. My allergies were the worst around hay. Yet I still loved the country life and would give anything to have it back. Farmers and ranchers are real heroes.

Maybe a help fitting the bag. We have a simpler setup. We lay some of the cardboard from the crate the bag comes in on the ground and onto the bottom bar. It makes it a lot easier to get the bag inplace at the bottom of the bag.

Like the guy in Texas said put like a 18 inch up spout, right on the blower and shorten that snout and park the truck closer to the rig. Don’t blow so far across

Depending moisture, us and most guys around us have to mount a water tank on the chopper with a small 12v pump and a 1/4” line into the fan. It doesn’t seem like much, but usually keeps the spout from plugging. Just an option in the future if you keep having trouble

@masonspieker1872
@masonspieker1872 28 дней назад
Just a tip for when your not using a wagon and direct filling trucks have them closer so you can have the spout pointed directly down into them. That’s how we do it here in SD with a self propelled Deere.

@kyleblair4764
@kyleblair4764 28 дней назад
@@RockyMountainFarmer Not what he said. You want the hay to flow as unobstructed as possible. If you drive closer, the end spout will be tipped down and the flow will have to turn 90 degrees- basically making a wall where it can back up and plug. Hard to explain in writing, but hopefully you get it.

I had trouble blowing grass silage through a John Deere trailed forage harvester some years ago. The problem turned out to be to big a clearance between the knives and the belly pan on the chopping cylinder. The back of the cutting chamber is adjustable ,after a lot of sharpening we were loosing air because of the gap. Closed up and went like a dream. Might work. This was in the UK with grass.

Check all ur wear plates in the existing part of the spout. We have it on our claas self propelled where the plates meet together they’ll wear out and create a rough transfer and it’ll affect the efficiency big time. Or even just the fan itself make sure the blades are still good shape. Doesn’t take much to make them run like crap Those Dion scorpions do kinda suck tho… havnt heard much good about them. Wet silage always blows better. As long as everything is working how it should. Dryer the lighter it is, just kinda fluffs out the end. Wet can be bad tho, it can kinda wad up. We don’t chop alfalfa so could be different but bit wetter grass silage blows far better. You Could also shorten your cut length from the chopper itself usually helps to.

Hello I’ve always found wetter grass blows better than dry grass, that is a really long spout, I use Kongskilde 1260 a great chopper very hi output for the power, I would only block spout if I had a forward angle, if it was angled backwards slightly it would be ok and much worse if crop was drying out . Great channel only found you yesterday 👍 I’m from Somerset 🇬🇧

From what I could tell from the first field, the moisture might have been a little high for the extension and the rake (have you tried a mower/conditioner). Another problem could have been that the extension was new and wasn't slicken up yet and causing problems in the heavier hay. The last time we did silage, we were using a pull behind New Holland and was blowing into peanut carts pulled behind tractors (we're in GA and the peanut carts were basically like your silage carts without the top and were high on the dumping side). Because we weren't going far to dump and were putting it in a pit, the chopper and carts didn't have to stop for anything, not even to swap carts.

That mowing machine san certainly make short work of cutting the hay in a large field. I can only imagine the constant repairs and maintenance on all your equipment. Hope you can work out the connection for the 'chute' camera before it goes back out in the field, as the operator will be able to load each truck to the max and reduce misfires :)
