[@jerrybarlar9768]

Amazing self attach device on these pieces of equipment. Great Video 😊

[@keithpowell2786]

Things For another awesome video. I really like the way you focused in on that cool hitch System they have on the tractors and the chopper, what a time saver. Again that is awesome the way you focused in on that Connor you don't get to say content like that anywhere else. Great job and keep it up brother

[@jdtractorman7445]

That's a nice looking farm. I like the red buildings with the white roofs along with the blue Harvestore silos. It's a clean farm too by the looks of it.

[@danbontrager9410]

THAT’S AMAZING HOW THEY CAN BACK UP TO THE WAGON TO HOOK IT UP AND THEY DON’T HAVE TO GET OFF THE SEAT TO PUT THE PIN IN THE HOOK UP

[@xSCHEF]

It’s a quick link my guy it’s such an easy investment although you will still need to get off to hook up the hydraulics ;). there’s modern quick links that include hydraulics too btw.

Super Cool. Never seem that before. Definitely saves a bunch of time in a day.

[@keithlowrie9319]

Nice video when i was a kid growing up my cousins used to farm some of my grandpas property before he sold it i used to watch them harvest the corn

[@chrisgossman6512]

I love the ingenuity of that hitching setup. 👍 Happy subscriber 😊!

[@404nitro]

I love that 4020. It is probably my all time favorite JD overall. I love all that old school equipment they have here.

[@coryfritz295]

Some good looking John Deere equipment on that farm. Thanks Mike. Great footage as usual. 👍👏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@raymiller9391]

I like these corn chopping videos. Thanks for posting Mike!

[@ScottPykare]

Forage harvesters never cease to impress me. Just corn eating machines. Great video Mike 👍🏻.

[@MATTREBARCHEK28]

thanks for awesome video Mike Less

[@markreetz1001]

Great looking farm and video. Gives you a yearning to be back on a farm.

[@rickperry4960]

Hello everyone great vidéo mike

[@jerameyleipply3735]

I remember going to less farms as a kid getting apples and sweet corn I grew up in new Springfield

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@eduardooberto408]

Belleza de trabajo ...

[@alcoja5530]

Nice 4020

[@TraktorAnyar]

Sangat mengesankan,..

[@xSCHEF]

In my opinion together with the old Jaguar the most beautiful chopper ever made and I’m NOT a modern JD guy, their old equipment just oozes power!

[@TheCritterWindow]

I would like to see more about the Blue Harvesters. I see them everywhere.

[@franciscosandiego3026]

I like Mike less videos on KZbin from the imperial county California 👍👍🇺🇲🚜🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽

[@MrPummi88]

Intetesting coupler System. But how do they connect the Lights and electric?

[@P0w3rPlay]

they don't

[@farmhandmike]

They really were not doing much road travel here.

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Wow thats a heavy duty crop

[@farmhandmike]

Yes it was. They plant all their silage corn on 15'' row spacing and it was really tall.

[@bobnistler]

😎😎

[@leonzermeno2854]

Where did you get those quick link hook ups for the wagons? Are they being sold or it´s a made up thing from you guys?

[@christianhollauer881]

How the bring out the silage from the different high silos again?

[@farmhandmike]

These Harvestore silos have a bottom unloader that discharges the silage into a conveyor in the barn.

[@dalebargen]

How many HP is the chopper?

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

For the 15-in rows, is the seed drop spacing longer than used for 30-in rows? Also, does each stalk produce the typical two ears per stock, or does the stalk typically produce one ear?

[@farmhandmike]

I'm not sure what population they are planting here on 15'' rows but since this is for silage I would guess the seed population was a little higher than corn that will be harvested for grain. I think it was just one ear per stalk.

[@rightsideofthegrass8114]

@@farmhandmike Thanks

[@ileenmcminn2062]

Was that downed corn wind damage or animal damage?

[@farmhandmike]

Wind, I believe this corn was too thick for any deer to wander through it.

[@tommyk1073]

I’m curious, as I’m not a farmer, but how does that corn and stalk not mold or rot in those silos? Is it used up to quick or is air blown inside that silo?

[@farmhandmike]

Corn silage goes into the silo and is packed in as it goes. The silage goes through a fermentation process but once the silo is filled on these Harvestore silos the lid is closed and its air tight. The silage will not spoil like this. Harvestore silos unload from the bottom so first feed blown in is the first feed used. Its a little different with a concrete silo as the unloader is on the top and blown down the chute on the side. Usually once the farm starts feeding from these silos they would generally feed twice a day and its always new silage being augered and blown out using the silage before it was exposed long enough to spoil. Also once a silo is filled the silage will let a gas off of the silage while it is fermenting and they have to be very careful when setting the silo unloader down into to silage as this gas can quickly kill you or make you very sick.

[@tommyk1073]

@@farmhandmike very interesting..thanks for the information

[@dalebargen]

How many trailers are required to keep up with the chopper?

[@farmhandmike]

They were running three wagons while I was here.
