just at the moment when you said “there’s a lot of hay laying down“, I looked at all the clouds in the sky and went through a mini panic. With all those dark clouds, nobody’s getting to stop and eat a sandwich for lunch with all that hay down.

Those pieces looked really nice. They will make great sheds. Another use for the exterior of the logs. My brother used the bark side (not sure of the thickness) as paneling placed separated several inches apart for the interior of his "log room". He put some sort of white material between the pieces to make it look like the inside of am actual log cabin.

Them 1066 are good for getting locked into two gears if you don't give the old girl a little time to shift!

Your knives need sharpened and I'd say you could use a new shearbar that chop was way to long to suit me, never want anything longer than 3/4 of an inch.

Lots of hands is making the job go smoothly. Packing's a good job for Darby while the pile is smaller. Certainly not a place to get in a big hurry. Glad you're all patient with her as she learns the intricacies of operating machinery.

Please educate me. I have often wondered why ya just don't blow it in a silo Rather than bunker style. It's usually next to the barn or feed area. And mechanical drops. All yhe tarps sand bags etc pack tractor just looks labor fuel and spoilage potential hazard. Maybe it keeps better in a pile. I'm not a dairy farmer. More swine farmer. With that said eat more bacon!
@davidrichter62102 күн бұрын
I'm not trying to be negative. I used to help neighbors dairy farm years ago. Milk. Feed bed, etc. Just bunker storage seems so labor intensive. Please help me understand why? Dave
@MorganOtt-ne1qj2 күн бұрын
Upright silo's are a big investment up front. Unloaders are not trouble free, and when they break down, you have to fork the feed by hand until repair is made. Bunker/ piles are cheaper at the start, and you can always find something to load silage with. Properly covered, there's little waste, and even new silos get spoilage at the doors. I've done both, and if I was going back to farming for myself, I would not build an upright silo if it was free.

@@MorganOtt-ne1qjdid you see what 10th generation dairyman is doing over there?? building 130 ft tall silos cuz it's going to save him labor 😂😂 it's going to take him 1/2 and hour to climb one when he turns 45 every time he needs to change a door let alone when The silo unloader breaks. He's making the biggest mistake in that farms history

@@Otherrandomguy42 They are the ones who know what they want to do, and how they want to do it. I went to bagging silage because of the 1970's stave silos deteriorating to the point of being a risk every time I filled them. Poured concrete are the better of the 2.
