FIRST Grass Silage 2019

A chance to get the kit out and put it through its paces after winter.

[@onlygazza]

Always nice to see you back at the grass George 😎👍

[@AndrewHecker85]

Hello from the Canadian prairies! The grass here isn't even thinking about getting green yet. I love that there's a stone church just in the corner of the field.

[@davidcutrumbes2148]

Excellent video, from across the pond. Our John Deere silage special always has net wrap problems the first time out of the shed.

[@alfienicholls8471]

Another great video George keep up the work

[@MrBusdriver63]

Great video George, that silage looks good. It is still extremely dry here we have not had our usual Autumn break.

[@JonDingle]

Great video young man! When I saw the title I thought no way! Saying that, up here in sunny (today anyway) Lancashire I watched a field being cleared of silage taken last week. It will be similar to the stuff you have baled and not much of it.

[@Agriculturespotter]

Very nice George! Here it is cold with -2 !!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Great vid as always George. Early season start

[@thearcher34lindenmann66]

Are you kidding me?!?! Already?!?! I live in Canada and we got snow yesterday.

[@cibie01]

Great to see George the grass has gone mental here so far should be a cracking 1st cut.

[@antonyfarming]

Great vid George looking good 👍 👍

[@terryh5060]

I could tell it was windy, but no problems hearing you. Good job.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Nice little taster o the season to come 💪💪

[@Mrgreendragon3]

@ 3.05 i see george had " follow me " switched on for the fendt !!!!

[@liamsmith1310]

Hi Terry how are you? Can't believe George's fastrac is the oldest they got

[@thecrazymanfromireland]

Fantastic i love this channel

[@nobodypersonsomeone]

It seems to be a rule that the first few bales come out without net wrap haha. It happens to us every year too. We have just mown a field for bales here in South Wales, too.

[@samueljamesmullineau3428]

The v660 main problem is it doesn’t like short grass we ran one for 3 years and then this year swapped in for a krone Comprima combi wrap going to be sitting on a 4220 limited edition

[@MrE30]

George roughly how many hours do you think the Fastrac will go to before replacing? And do you think it’ll be for a new Fastrac or Fendt etc

[@sbfarmer5453]

Love your videos George and shared on facebook, hope that's ok

[@colmkennedy3109]

Good video George 👍

[@johnny4915]

Great video 👍

[@JoshuaSmith-xw6jp]

Do you guys handle your bales more than just to from field to storage and then to feed them? Just curious cause it seemed like you use a good bit of plastic is why I ask. I'm not criticizing , I'm not very familiar with wrapping but I do know the plastic is costly. And also why black over white? Any reason or just what's available? Thank you for your time and your great videos from a farmer in Pennslvania ,USA.

[@tomwe11ings]

Nice one George!

[@bewleycustomag5868]

What was happening with the net wrap George ? I had a 660 on demo 2 summers ago that would explode the bale when i opened the door at pto speed drop the revs and it was fine . there was a sharp edge on the ramp that would cut the net wrap .

[@bigtractorpower]

Enjoyed the video. The triple tire John Deere 9620Rs common in my area would not fit well on your roads. Great job navigating the cars. I have seen McHale machines at the National Farm Machinery Show. This is the first time I have seen them on a farm.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

I'd love to have a go in something like that but not on these roads!

[@bigtractorpower]

George Saunders the 9620Rs would not like those opposing parked cars and trees. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesmcmahon7091]

Do you still to front wheel steering when doing road work with the fastrac

[@jussikujanpaa9386]

Looking good! Finnish farmers are only dreaming about that. Maybe in june or july..

[@genesis4567]

anybody have the pros and cons of a krone comprima?

[@egan88817]

The roads are barely wide enough for a car let alone farm equipment, great driving and dealing with the the drivers that can't understand that you have a right to use the road too. How long did you mow before baling and wrapping? How long before the grass will be able to be used as silage? Thank you for bringing us along on your day.

[@crawl3ysnipe]

Hi George. Great video. Curious, about how many bales can you wrap with one roll of plastic?

[@bobgallaghar4716]

chris crawley 25 to 30

[@ArchersView]

Good video as always, how many bales a acre did you end up with? 👍

[@karldenton]

Apart from you and Henry is the other driver permanent? Do you just have the 3 tractors on the fleet?

[@SlipShodBob]

No wonder they were wary about coming near if you were flashing then but weren't you hot in a mac?

Many bales did u get of that crop

Great vid George you must the first in the country to do silage lol

[@TJMack-]

Do you guys always bale and wrap, never a pit?

[@colinpullen9295]

Hi George Enjoyed your video as always, what news of Ben?

[@liamsmith1310]

Great video George do you only run 3 tractors

[@t0mall870]

Have you been spraying recently?

[@hubertjohnsen7460]

who are you loyal to? the jcb overalls but the new holland cap makes it confusing😂😂😂great video

[@oboyoboy4579]

Silage? In sweden we get snow yesturday and minus degree😭

[@kaj-agehenneberg6312]

Thank you for showing the making of silage bales. I've just sent a mod for Farming Simulator 19 on using real-life numbers (FS19_RealLifeNumbers_UK) to testing on FS-UK, but I was very uncertain about the parameters for silage bales. I would be very greatful if someone very familiar with farming in the UK can give me ballpark numbers as to the bale dimension, weight, water content and a typical sell price in the UK. Also I would like to know how many silage bales you get per acre per cutting (average numbers are fine). Are two cuttings per year standard in UK? Thank you. Kaj-Aage Henneberg/ArmChairFarming.

[@SinkyYT]

Next time you get a failed bale can you should us how you deal with it?

[@edbalcombe4068]

you just re bale it

[@carlstevens4981]

Unroll it and rebale it. I had to do it a few times with the straw bales

[@jpw1490]

Can you reupload the wise words from the legend video please the whole thing is muted

''All looks good'', gives thumbs up, bale is a pile on the ground. lol

[@duncanblanchard334]

All that plastic, where does it all end up going too. Pity there is no environmentally better solution. Anyone got any ideas ??. Nice video 👍

[@JonDingle]

You need the shrink wrap to perform two jobs. 1, The main and most important job is to seal the bale from exposure to air which will spoil the silage and 2, To protect it from wet weather. The net wrap or in some cases string is there to hold the shape of the bale in it's rolled or square format. The waste plastic is a problem on several fronts. 1, Black plastic of any type is limited on recycling because it cannot be coloured. 2, shrink wrap is not as dense and not easy to recycle as other plastic products like bottles for example. 3. Plastic used to wrap bales or silage clamps is not clean, it is contaminated with other plastic (net wrap or string), silage or hay and quite often other contaminants like silage effluent, oil, animal muck and or water. Because it has a very low (little or zero value) financial value it is not worth a farmers time to separate and clean it. However, they are supposed to dispose of it carefully. So, could it be incinerated for energy? Yes, however, contamination is a big issue because it affects calorific values, emissions and as biomass boilers are designed to burn a fuel at optimum performance any contamination can impact on performance and life time of the outfit. Unfortunately there is no easy answer because natural products have little resistance to the Sun, rain and frost coupled with silage effluent, birds (they do attack bales even wrapped with plastic) and other wildlife looking for food or nesting. I hope that brief description helps to answer your concerns.
