€20K! IN THE PIT | IRISH MAIZE HARVEST 2021

In today's video - yes! we finally get the maize cut for 2021!. The irish weather is being good to us for now but its going to change soon enough so its time to get it cut. We were drawing with 3 tractors and trailers - the 6499 and the kane, the 6270 and a trainor, and the 6290 and the trainor. Bro finally has his tractor driving license so he can drive on the road drawing for the first time! The pit is worth around €20k if we were to buy it so it was vital to get it all in, harvested and safe. Our cattle can now be fed with 100% home grown feed, bar the biscuit meal.

Phil yet another day your uncle is prepared for the day and the college graduate doesn't even have a knife 🤣🤣we have a rule here you have a quick change knife, a backup,flashlight and a Leatherman quick tool or your not ready for the day 🤣🤣 6ft corn is heavy over there? Over here depending on where you are at it can be 5ft or it can be 12 ft just depends but crop looks good 👍 I think there is more in that stalk then you think but the 🌽 is the best great video

[@abbiejones1843]

Liked it when uncle lan brought out the sissers. Going to snip his way through the maize 😄

[@eamoncummins8419]

Cheers for the shoutout Phil. The sling will come in handy for pulling in a vintages into the shed for winter projects😂😂😂

[@PenDragonsPig]

That’s a point- drivers license. I worked for 3 farmers and a contractor in Cornwall. I drove thousands of miles on road hauling or between fields. For a couple of weeks I had a learner plate of my Fiat 780 and for the next 10 years we didn’t bother with one- I never got a full license on anything but a motorcycle. On getting to the US I learned to drive a car, driving up the east coast. We then convinced an insurance company my full motorcycle was full everything to get a good rate. In my little corner of New England some farmers don’t cut until the plant is dried up.

[@novakcustomharvesting6930]

I didn't realize that you have agri king silage preservative over there!! I put 40 bags of that exact same product through my chopper this year chopping maize 🌽. We are here in the 🇺🇸 Wisconsin. Agri- king head office is only a few hours away. Our family has visited it. It's a great product!!

Single ram in the front of a volvo is d way to go Phil. Far more visibility when on a pit when compared to jcb

[@Gearoid35]

A great video Phil you did a fine tasty job in the pit what a lovely shovel well done to all the crew

[@j.b.6577]

It took me a minute to remind myself of the difference in latitude when you were talking about having to use plastic... It's good to see that you had a good yield. Differences in the farming like that is just one good example of why I like watching... Best wishes from here in the U.S.!

[@matthewshine4056]

We also sell film for maize in USA also, in Wisconsin we have a few machine and a lot of them in Canada also. what part of US are you based in? is it grain or forage maize you are growing?

[@aubreywilliams6153]

Have you ever thought of sharpening the knives and setting the shear bar, it might chop the stuff not just chew it a bit. Will save a lot of diesel as well .

Oh my Farmer Phil, it is my Sunday morning here, and what do I see, you cutting maize. I have never seen this before. We get our fresh corn the end of August in our grocery stores in Florida. I don't know what I was thinking when I saw the harvester pumping the sileage into the trailers, but it wasn't the stalks and the corn all chopped together that I saw in the sileage pit. Wow! When you start feeding this out you will need to explain to us non-farmers how you feed it out and how much. With the starch and carbohydrates in corn, it should put some really juicy fat on the stock. Adrian (I Farm We Farm) was worried about cutting his hedges because of the wire... Thank you again for an excellent video. I AM enjoyin' watchin' your hair grow again this Winter. Blessings... When will the pumpkins be ready, Liv?

50€ a tonne for maize delivered to the pit down here Phil Would you look at growing it without plastic? The open varieties are very good now, would save another 120€ an acre

[@OOpSjm]

That would depend on location, no? Need the plastic for the greenhouse effect or else it'll just sit in the cold ground and rot.

[@matthewshine4056]

@@OOpSjm your right, 90% of maize in Ireland with grown using SAMCO degradable film. No point really growing without film

[@oliver69cork46]

@@matthewshine4056 grew maize for several years without plastic and it did very well on good years but like all maize crops plastic or not the weather at harvest was the problem, never regular. In South cork I was and it was warm enough ,had crops 7-8 tons dm. Never needed plastic.

[@aodhainflatley1556]

hi phil love the sound of the 3690 gives me goosebumps

[@seanoconnor8496]

I’d say a jcb 419 would suit the farm perfectly. Don’t think it’s much taller than the 416 and would have abit more power for pushing up silage and maize if ye ever get a bigger buckrake in the future

cant beat a proper loading shovel .......built for abuse from the very start ...........

The TM are a super machine but are they less stable due to the central pivot on uneven ground for example on a pit??

[@aaronfowley1348]

There’s some barck off the 3690

Lovely video .Nice lookig maize crop.just an observation. Why do you need to have to get a loader like the JCB into any cattle shed when there are more loaders on the farm ?

It's a lot easier to drive jcb loader with forad reverse switch on joystick. All you want is big wheels and tyres on the loader. It dose a better job for rolling the pit
