Bagging Silage with a Versa Silage bagging machine

[@rickmayer3749]

Very professional and informative. We only did conventional stave silos when I was on the farm. Excellent drone footage. Once again thanks for letting me farm from my sofa haha.

[@The1850x2]

Love the drone footage Andy! That is some neat stuff right there!

[@rodneyerdmann1545]

Never seen any bagger work up close, this was a real treat to watch! That rotary head is the cat's ass when you have wind damage in the field! The last corn I chopped for my uncle was with a two row pull type and I remember some corn down from the wind and that head wouldn't follow the rows very well!

[@johndouglasdawson7298]

Great vid love the way you explain everything always like hear 👂 how big the motors are in the machines.Keep the vids coming THANKS.

[@bradducharme3628]

Those truck ag baggers do a nice job and yes can put up ALOT of feed. The bagger we use could push our trucks as we dumped. Our trucks are rear unload HnS and meyers boxes. Love your guys vids

[@onealfarms9967]

This gets me pumped up for the spring planting so ready bro get started

[@ericgroat626]

Nice bagger , no back stop or side cables to deal with. Your lucky to have a nice place to put the bags most guys have them in the mud up to there ass with too much waste . Good luck chopping ,lots of rain here.

[@DeereFarmer09]

Versa is the way to go. We have a 912 we use for our custom chopping business filling 10' bags

[@blaneheinrich5743]

Excellent video great explanation didn't know a cable was pulled through the feed like that thought it worked with the braking system on the tires thanks for your time

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I think the larger ag bag machine use wheel brakes not sure

[@jefferymohney7557]

Morning from Michigan Great videos very informative. Have a great day.

[@johnhatt1219]

Awesome video and music there Andy I really enjoy this video very much

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks John

[@hayman1971]

Thank you just couldn't figure it out. Having a little trouble keeping up with the videos but don't stop I'll catch up when it rains

[@Erated78]

Great video Andy, I've always wondered how exactly those bags were filled. I have also seen round hay bales wrapped and looks similar. I didn't hear you mention how you get feed out of these bags...? Seems to me they'd be a pain to get feed out of no? Thanks for taking us along, Cheers

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Hey Ed I got you covered on that one. We just did it out with a front end loader.kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSxfqqPedOZo9E

[@jimcivitello3913]

Great vid andy. Thats a nice bagger, we have an old kelly ryan with the back stop and cables its a bit of a pain to set up and pretty old it doesn't get much use anymore for feed. We mainly use it to bag sawdust bedding, and that is about the worst job to have do.

[@bjl1226]

Thanks for doing the video. Great job, and uh yeah, 😉

[@dougmeyer4649]

"Hollywood Hourigan", another great production! Peace!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Those bags are really nice made. Uniform, and tight

[@jimwesselman]

Video is very interesting. What determines whether you bag it, put it in conventional silo, or put it in the bunks ( or does only haylage go in bunks)?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Jim Wesselman we put everything in bunks for the most part.We needed a little extra storage and decided to fill a couple three bags.

[@stubarry3206]

Excellent vid Andy , drone footage great 👍

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks Stu

[@mikep7810]

Great video. That's a sweet bagger!!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks Mike

[@leslillie9585]

Great camera work Andy.

[@johnhatt1219]

Thnks u again Andy.

[@BarendvL]

Nice video Andy!

[@robpeters5204]

Famous last words. " I should climb in there" Lol!!!

[@jessmillar8614]

Just curious what he charges per ton to bag silage....here in Nebraska hardly anyone bags but we've been looking to try it and minimize our spoilage.... love the videos and streaming, always something interesting!!

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

$14 a foot that works out to be about $7 a ton

[@johndeere709]

nice i never did it from a dump truck just used wagons

[@johnhatt1219]

Thnks u Andy for the video

[@m.j.l.abulle9107]

About to start tubewrapping rounds for the season and the 500 hp bagfiller comes up on my yt feed , NICE !

[@svennilsson8459]

Wow, as from 10.25 the thing goes into high gear! Feels as if you've got someone from the "Mission Impossible" film team in on the music production side. 😎

[@svennilsson8459]

And around 12.40 ... 🏎

[@davidschmidt1780]

See a lot of these bags at farms in my area now I know how they are filled and sealed this City Boy is always learning something new from you guys thanks

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Thanks for the comment

[@arkansas1336]

In my area, I've never seen that bag system before, seems unique. Great drone footage! ....13

[@antonyfarming]

Great vid looks great feed question how far does the bagger move with each truck load? How many tons in a bag? Would a bunker be cheaper?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Antony farming bag held 2 ton per foot.we were putting on smaller loads and the Bagger would move 5-7’ per load.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

At the end of the day the costs could swing either way.

[@southjerseysound7340]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating you're right about costs. Our cutter that retired bagged for pretty much the same price as the new cutters charge for packing our bunks by the time we pay for the plastic etc. But we prefer the bunkers now that we built them.

[@andynelson1958]

Do you like the big drum header better than the small. Curious on your thoughts?

[@stevenavila9969]

The dairy where I used to feed cow's at used the ag bag. It was a pain in the rear when we had to cut them open and make sure not to get any pieces of the bag in the feed trk and make sure we didn't feed any pieces to the cows.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yeah that's one of the down falls to it

[@hayman1971]

Are you getting all the rain there like they been talking about on the TV. They said it's pretty nasty

[@matthewosterhoudt1176]

Another great video thanks again Andy

[@samkom33]

440 MM = 17,32 inches so yes its probably an strech indicator mark

[@rebelcounty2078]

I would say it would be very tricky running your own bagger. You would want to be filling alot of bags.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes there would be a few of them

[@trentongarringer2588]

How many tons of silage do you do every year

[@arnimk.2128]

Nice video and great explanations 👍

[@sharonromer6606]

Do you have a master schedule that keeps you on task throughout the year so nothing goes undone...I can't imagine keeping all that info in my head.

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No, we just do things in order of which they need doing

[@jamespetty9545]

If you stop using your bunkers. It would take a 100 acres of ag bags. How long do you leave the small hole in the bag?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Couple 3 days

[@nomerc3608]

Andy, Looks like you are in need of a large pole barn to keep your very expensive machines out of the weather?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes we need a couple new sheds

[@hayman1971]

Sorry haven't been keeping up lately but what's healthy heard?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

It's a seed brand that we tried.

[@Melting_Fireman]

Watching the most current FFF ag bagger video from 9-3-2024.

[@louisvargas-tapia9416]

I have two of these machines

[@johnhatt1219]

K it should be there tomorrow or tonight just let me know please

[@rambobroughton7456]

How long do the bags last until they deteriorate. ???

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

2 years, it's best not to go more than 18 months

[@jamesmckay9966]

Andy, A dumb question from a non Farmer. Does the corn silage in the bag Ferment ?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Yes

[@andrewsarles3520]

How many ton 300 ft hold? They don't have burp vents on the bags?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I don't remember what that actually held

[@iantattam9266]

12 foot tunnel is in the neighborhood of 1.5-2 tons per foot depending on what you’re bagging. There are vents you can buy that you put in the bags or you can cut small holes and tape shut later.

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Is it a storage thing or does certain corn do better in the bag instead of the bunk???

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

No not at all really, we needed to put up bags for extra storage and it just worked out that we had that one variety that we wanted to keep seperator.

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

@@FarmingFixingFabricating with you Andy. Informative vid again 💪👍😁🐂

[@padairyfarming6489]

Why do you choose doing the bags over another pile ?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

We were just out of room every where else is all

[@dairyinc.3651]

I was wondering how that worked lot safer than cables running along the sides

[@mikebonge7206]

Very nice

[@isaacschute476]

How many rows can it take

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

The chopper is a 10 row

[@jeffmarek1237]

Get your Flashlight turn it on and then you will see the motor

[@tysonwalsh8193]

Just like dumping it a paver but slower

[@egan88817]

Are you still in chopper with Sarah as you filmed the bagger, or did you let her go on her own?

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I was in the chopper

[@frankdeegan8974]

Have you ever stated in your videos the dangers of the gases coming off the bags, pits or silos so the non farmers understand not to mess with these things, they are deadly, till the contents are cured and off gassed

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I haven't really no, orange silage should be a good indicator of how bad the gases are though.

[@frankdeegan8974]

The ensiling process produces "silo gas" during the early stages of the fermentation process. Silage gas contains nitric oxide (NO), which will react with oxygen (O2) in the air to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is toxic. Lack of oxygen inside the silo can cause asphyxiation. This is a part of Farm Safety and Awareness. Just wanted to bring some awareness to your subscribers. Keep up the good work.

[@StillenG37]

research the newest 14 ft Ag bagger which I own three I would love to come bag for you! seven bucks a ton I'll save you alot of money and space!

[@davidstewart1943]

Really annoying music during the begging portion of the video

[@johnhatt1219]

Let me know when you get ure cheese 🧀

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I'm almost home now

[@StillenG37]

green baggers have anchors which allow the bagger to pack 3.2 ton of corn silage per foot! versa cable is a joke

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Is that right

[@agrifilmapp]

We are a silo bag manufacturer, we can provide OEM production, and hope to cooperate with you

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

Ok

[@tomhall7250]

How dare you repurpose tires and eco friendly !

[@FirstLast-ze7sl]

nice video until you cranked up that stupid music

[@FarmingFixingFabricating]

I'm sorry
