When the moisture gets around 50% the Lignin in the alfalfa starts sticking to the blower and the chute of the chopper. It won't blow near as far and it can plug the chute. A little water added to the windrow or to the blower will solve the problem.

The way you do grass silage is really differnt from over here in germany. Here almost noone uses a self propelled swather, they just use a big butterfly cutter. Also the rake seems rather small compared to the big circle ones used here. Also chopping is mostly done with self propelled choppers. Also bagging silage is rare. Most people use either a silage pile or silage bales. So its interessting to see how its done in america

You mentioned the Highland "branch" of the family farming business, maybe something for the colder month would be an overview about all different aspects of the farmin and how it interconnects? On another hand: are there self driving choppers arround in your area? Her ein Germany Krone and Claas are the main vendors and pull behind choppers are not used anymore. This just on the interested side as the size of your opperation might be fitting for one of those (maybe only for testing if available...).

What if you tighten the bolt on those long bars with like 5 ftlb and put a second nut on as a lock nut. Maybe the nut pulling on the threads causes it to break but if you just make sure its a bit tight and not loose but secure the nut with another counter locking nut? Maybe less downtime on the rake then...
@RockyMountainFarmer2 ай бұрын
I’m not sure because it keeps breaking at the base not where the threads are.
@dreiback1822 ай бұрын
@@RockyMountainFarmer My theory would be this: Because if the bolt is tightend it causes the base to also get tightend against so flat metal with the hole. But I guess the bars are in constant movement which creates leverage and vibrations and on top comes the constant clamping force. The reason why I think the threads dont fail is, because they are supported by the hole and also under a force in one direction (tension) while the base has got tension on it and is then also shaken around. Maybe it would also help if you could get some vibration reducing device like maybe some rubber or maybe even just a spring washer and then also not have that much tension on it with the 2 nuts trick. But honestly it should be a part where the manufacturer should be responsible for designing it strong and testing it. Also all that I said is just my kind of thinking, Im not an engineer or so, just my way of an explaination why it fails...

Just watching the silage coming out of the spout it looks to me that the moisture is low and is gumming in the spout liner. That is probably why the longer spout is more of a problem. I,m guessing the moisture is 60% or lower. Also the stage of the crop can also affect its blowability. I cut a lot of silage many years ago back in the late 70,s 80,s and 90,s.
@RockyMountainFarmer2 ай бұрын
Yeah, it’s probably a little bit too dry. The problem is when we get to this last crop it’s too dry for that chopper but it’s almost too wet for the bagger so it’s hard to hit a nice medium.

Throughout the year, it does produce a little less where that gets driven on but not very much.
