Nice video👍😉 here in east germany everybody has something similar on the back of the feeder wagon, it loads the wagon directly. I like the smell of corn silage😃👍

This was a great video, Mike! Thank you so much for sharing! We are also a YouTubing, farm family that tries to educate about agriculture. Just wanted you to know that you do an amazing job as an agricultural advocate….you’re a great teacher! We are getting ready to chop our first field of corn silage today! Great work and blessings on your ag journey!

This is awesome, I grew up on a very small dairy farm (about 100 head) and we never did silage like this. Only bales.

That is really a neat piece of equipment. Does a great job and doesn't effect any of the rest silage Pike. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻.

We’ve stopped grinding down silage for 10-15 years in Europe, and have switched to cutting down the pit.
@piperdoug428 Жыл бұрын
hey Mike yeah we were more using a sheer grab, cut blocks out the face and let mixer break it up, we've switched to alfalfa silage as it's less invested risk plus you can blend it with 2yr old straw for tonnage

TBH I'm surprised we don't have a compression machine to make large blocks of packed corn chaff into tight blocks to be bagged by a system. Imagine something handling wise the size of the stackhand-10's volume that is shoved into a tight block bag and has the air sucked out and swapped with nitrogen. Have you seen the grain drying stiring bunkers used in Europe? I don't think we're far off from crane-beam systems to handle and pack silage in immense and deep pits running only on electric power instead of dealing with tractors running over it. That's one advantage that the vertical silos had and have, the huge height really packs the hell out of the bottom. I think a thorough modernization creating a series of square chambers with interchangeable lids with a gantry system on top could be quite functional for processing.

I saw a machine at a farm show a few years ago that was just what you are talking about. I just need to find one in action for a video opportunity.

He looked like he was struggling a bit coming up from the bottom. I watch a dairy farmer on KZbin and he starts at the top and seems a lot smoother than stating at the bottom.

The defacer looks a lot safer than just ramming the face with a loader and causing a collapse.

You should come to NW Iowa and get video of covering silage piles. We have church groups that do this as a fundraiser. 100+ people covering massive piles in about 3 - 4 hours.

Hey Mike! Why they don't use self propelled tmr mixing wagon? In EU most of big dairy farms using such an equipment. Huge saves of time and labour cost. Anyway great video! Greetings!

yupyup . defacer keep less "face" exposed to air , less disturbed silage , less spoilage ..... iinstalled one on a KOMATSU loader years ago , then year later REPAIRED it ; silage is so tight , they can wreck deface frame if force to hard .
