Chopping Corn Silage & Filling Silo with Allis Chalmers Tractors

In this video I visit a farm near Fort Recovery Ohio that has a nice collection of Allis Chalmers Tractors. In this video they are using several of their Allis Chalmers Tractors to chop corn silage and fill silo.
Chopping the corn silage is an Allis Chalmers 7080 & 8070 tractor both pulling New Holland FP230 forage harvesters with 3 row corn heads. Throughout the video you will see several other Allis Chalmers tractors pulling H&S forage boxes back and forth from the field to the silo and some others tractors on the silage blowers.
This farm also has 3 New Holland 1880 self propelled forage harvesters and they are using on on this video to open up and split the fields.

Man it doesn’t get better than seeing and hearing all this AC power still out there getting it done!!

[@bobtuckosh9870]

Very nice collection of Allis Chalmers

[@ronzimmerman8968]

These AC vids are my favorites. We farmed with 4 Alliis's and a White. Good to see someone taking good care of theirs.

Those good folks do have a right nice Alice collection for sure. Made better because they use them for what they were built for rather than spending time being only polished and started just for shows if at all. Also nice videos found here. You do a most fine work of getting the shots and putting it together with thought instead of just disjointed clips spliced together.

[@seanconnolly7576]

Great video of the Allis Chalmers at work again Mike!

[@jdtractorman7445]

Nice to see the Allis Chalmers tractors still out there working. I like the sound of those 7000 series tractors with the straight pipe. They have a sound all of their own.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Good video Mike, we still use Allis-Chalmers on our farm also, our 8070 is a repowered Cummins 8.3

Ho nice it is to see the old orange tractors chopping corn.The multi row new machines sure do have their charm but the old ones are stll going strong too!

[@Rimrock300]

Enjoyable see this oldschool equipment going strong! They must save quite a lot not being dependend on the new highly expencive electronic tractors

[@diersirrigation]

Great to see orange tractors working not just parked. My brother still runs 4 of them.

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Id like this a hundred times if i could. Thanks Mike!

[@kahlerfamilyfarms]

Awesome video mike! Love seeing that orange power 💪🏼

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Amazing!! I don't think that I have ever seen that many tractors working cutting corn, let alone all A-Cs. The quick hitches are great, never have seen them either. Great video Mike! Thanks👍👍👍🌽🟠🚜

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

Always grand to see some ACs in the field. Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻

[@jakeguli5538]

First off, most of there damn equipment is older than me, cool as hell to see some of these farms using equipment that old, and keeping it going. Second, I cannot believe those little blowers can force all of that silage up into those silos like they do. Incredible. Idk how the piping doesn't get plugged constantly. And Christ, that's one hell of a good looking collection they have going on

Great video Mike! The 3 row heads will clean the carbon out of the engine. I love the sound of corn going threw the harvester. I also would have liked to have the "hitch catch" when i was cutting silage. thanks again!

This was a really cool video. Love the old school stuff. I'd love to own that two twenty on the silage blower. Love seeing all this AC machinery in one place like this. That 4W-220 is simply amazing to look at. Not many of them made IIRC.

[@craigmiller5372]

My families farm has modern tractors, but also has like eight Allis Chalmers tractors. In the 80s, I learned to drive tractor on a D 15 and a 190. They still use the tractors today, even though they’re in excellent shape, but they like to stretch their legs every year.

The dumbest thing AGCO did was discontinue the orange tractors.

I've heard others say the same thing. But I was always told the Massey brand worldwide was/is the most popular so from a business point of view I get it.

Yes the 8000 series had a very nice cab and possibly the nicest cab of any tractor during that era.

[@jimweiler4839]

The farm across the way from where they were chopping with the seven silos is the Meiring Farm and was used back in the early 1970s by New Idea for a backdrop for a manure spreader brochure. I have a copy of it but not sure how to post it here. ¨Sharpsburg, OH.¨

[@lostinlox]

The open station 7060! Do you know if they took their D21 to Rantoul for the gathering?

[@jamesharrod8733]

i grew up maybe 50 miles from there filling silos was a big deal for us but we had fox choppers could never really plug them

[@PenDragonsPig]

Why do farmers in my corner of Rhode Island let their corn near enough die before cutting it for silage? I haven't seen this in either Europe or anywhere else in the US. I bought a truck load of dung off one farmer and it was full of little undigested discs of corn cob.

[@farmhandmike]

Most places chop corn when its at the moisture level they want that will give it the best feed value. Can't speak for your area on that. Now the little discs of corn cob you are talking about would make me think the chopper used did not have a crop processor in it.

[@m988022]

I went by there on 36 the other day it was a field of orange

[@marilynterry1700]

Ok, I’m really old school. We had to get off the tractor to unhitch and hitch up . Some explain this big time saving feature, please.

The one chopper tractor sounds identical to my gleaner M3 must be a similar engine

[@RJ1999x]

@@joakrage3972 Allis Chalmers had a very distinctive sound. They were high injection pressures and advanced timing that were 40!years ahead on diesel engines.
