Chopping Corn Silage at Shady Oak Farms! Part One (2024 Harvest Season)

[@jimwhite1061]

I really liked that auto-hookup from the chopper to the wagon.

[@hturbo1007]

I forget what there called, but they're made in Iowa and they still build them

[@JeffRonsman]

They always run a special on them at the farm show in Oshkosh EAA end of March

❤😊we had those Quick Connect Hitch Back in 1980 when I helped a farmer Fill up the Pit ❤😊

[@19661650]

Those speed hitches are worth every penny, They save alot of time over harvest. And saves the crew from climbing up n down hunderds of times. Thanks for sharing!

[@johnbeam-d3v]

Great video. Silage was my favorite time of harvesting. Loved it. Can not wait for more. Thank you for letting me ride along!

[@jpeel2066]

It's great when everybody helps one another out. Thanks for the video. All the best 🇬🇧.

[@process-stories]

Wow, what an incredible day at Shady Oak Farms! How amazing was it to see those powerful machines in action, especially the 8930 Case IH Magnum? Can't wait for part two!

[@ryanwaege7251]

Some real nice equipment! Thanks for bringing us along.

[@DonWelter]

Quite a line-up of machinery. I was impressed with the automatic hitches. Takes the danger of having someone hitching wagons to the chopper or hauling tractor. Always interesting to see different techniques in doing the same job.

[@craiggrant3511]

Years ago we had a couple auto hitches we used for ear corn. What a life saver

[@clinthochrein888]

Two way H&S chopper wagons spretty slick a they look long . Great video!

[@bradtevelde6025]

Love to see the older Equipment working!

[@dennisdole1764]

Great and cool video! Great to see you helping out with your neighbors farm 😊

[@CraigSmith-l2w]

I remember back in the mid 80s chopping corn. We didn’t have those quick hitch pick ups back then you had to get out and adjust the tongue on a wagon and hook it back up to the chopper if you were by yourself and then back up and locking place.

[@MartyHenderson-ie9sp]

Well THAT was cool! Thanks.

[@tractordan933]

Never seen a wagon hitch that worked like that one, looks like a real time saver.

[@glenschumannGlensWorkshop]

Me neither. That is nifty.

[@jeebolard]

Glad y’all get to enjoy some real equipment painted the right color.

[@krissyb1980]

I love those magnum tractors ❤️ that's a pretty efficient set up they have there. I could tell there was some corn down, I was thinking maybe the copper was doing that.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Yup seeing how other people do things is educational to what you can do on your farm. I bet those rear unload forage wagons would be great for your silage piles too.

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

Rear dump for bunker/piles is the way to go. Way safer. I’m amazed you guys drive up the pile like you do.

[@bradjenkins932]

Nice chopping equipment.

[@Meshedupatx]

Great music on this one!

[@Dwthomas1946]

Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I really enjoy them

[@noehueber6602]

Hey gierok farm great vidéo and great equipement red power and john deere is the beast and great choise music and great sound of red equipement 14:23 love this view

[@FarmingDocumentary]

Great Chopping Corn Silage ! Nice Bro

[@RichardMartin-j6r]

Love the red

[@mweisen1001]

I don't know what those hitches cost but worth every penny

[@geraldsundberg3610]

That automatic hitch system is sure a time saver and makes it good for the operator!

[@scotthawkins1538]

Those hitches would really be a time saver and a person would feel much better after a long day. !! Saving You from getting out after every load would be nice 👍

[@JulianKeller-om6wz]

Thought I was on the wrong channel. Had to stop and look and start over again. Really nice job with the drone Aaron. I bet that was fun doing it for someone else. Not as much pressure for everything to go the way it should as when you are doing your own. And nice to get another perspective. I know you said there was some down corn from the weather. Seems like a lot of corn left in the field. Was that all down from the weather? Is the head not cutting properly? Should they be going a little slower? Those auto hitches look like they are cats meow! You n your dad should each buy each other one for Christmas! I saw the Deere tractor on the pile there for a short time. Seems like they should constantly have something heavier than those skidsteers on the pile at all times for packing. Those things aren't that heavy. You all stay safe out there at Gierock Farms! Or wherever you may be!

[@johnsheeran1908]

Cool hitch/unhitch system they have!

[@EricSimmons102]

Just when you seen it all. I had to look that up, Agri hitch or fast hitch and some home made versions. Initial investment probly a little steep looks like a big time saver.45 some years ago helping on neighbors farms to close to far back and run to the tractor or wrangling the overbuilt heavy ass wagon slip Tonge poles.thats really slick.

[@Leadback-s6y]

Thanks I like your idea to !

[@jeffclinch7448]

Great corn!

[@KevinBraun-oe4om]

I am not a farmer, I am an engineer, but I grew up on a dairy farm and I love red tractors. Currently I own a 1968 IH 656 and a1951 Super C.

[@joelwindsor525]

Now that's a real tractor on the chopper

[@aaronwilson4083]

Those are some pretty clean red tractors, but it's hard to beat your fleet of 10 series Deere!

[@larryklostermann5779]

Nice video Aaron

[@billwieland8497]

"Beautiful Red" is right!

[@tammygurke7482]

5 seconds into the video, my husband says this is not Gieroks??? I stopped and replayed it again and said yes it is😂😂😂😂then the lightbulb went on and I checked to see, and bam you are at another farm 😅😅😅😅

[@jonathanwalker7638]

greetings from Scotland

[@Blackwellll3066]

Maybe it will be in part 2 but them speed hitches are nice to have

[@markschwab7829]

We use the same tractor to haul corn and beans nice Magnum

[@JeffRonsman]

Hey Aaron I’ve said this before I bet you love those quick hitches ! Tell your dad you want them !

[@tammygurke7482]

Aaron, any chance you guys will get stocking caps in???? Please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@greghamann2099]

That chopper is boss.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

We had wagons that lift up to dump the silage out which was alot faster than the wagons that you guys have in video

[@wadesellers7748]

Always good to help a neighbor. I notice y'all don't do bean rotation for field recovery. Y'all rotate pasture to corn and corn to pasture? If so, how often?

[@toddvandyke1023]

Is this a neighboring farm/friends? Great content. Be safe, and God bless

[@mikeburgan7675]

Wow !

[@jameschapman6908]

That's one thing about farming there's as many different ways as there are farmers to achieve the same goal. Make that milk

[@PaulTighe-e2n]

Awesome video enjoyed

[@garyforney9421]

How did you like those Bergman Auto Hitches ? They will spoil you.

[@gregcatlett1458]

I thought the corn looked a little messed up for sure as far bent over and missing it laying on ground 👍. Thanks sir!!

[@theatlanticdairyman7917]

We used to have a case international 7220 MFWD

[@zzzzzz1220]

Hört bei euch in der Gegend keiner auf. Denn wenn ich so das land sehe wird es mir ganz warm ums Herz

[@jeffclinch7448]

First skid loader I ran was a Hydrocat with Wisconsin engine never would have made it on pile.

[@danw6014]

The chopper tractor must have been from the era of the merger.

[@hturbo1007]

I can see you going out and buying a Magnum

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

They have a JD 7810, hard to beat that one! And yes, I have run Magnums before. Almost bought one, but it wasn't as easy to see the drawbar for everyone, and didn't seem as "natural" as a JD 7800 when you reached for the controls. Traded a Ford TW 20 that was having hydraulic issues, so I wasn't "color blind".

[@duddy1939]

What are them wagon hitches called!?!? I need one! Or three....

[@grantmagnuson4883]

What kind of automatic hits system do they have for backing up to hitch onto the wagons?

[@tc6573]

Would the trailer pick up (12:06) fit onto your trailers & harvest. Would save you having to get out every time.

[@jetegtmeier71]

looks like the Bergman quick hitch. I tried to leave a comment a couple weeks ago in the video you made comment of Iowa Ag Companies but I had a link in it to Bergman here in Iowa and You Tube don't like me inserting links in comments anymore ??????

[@shealy265]

Was the downed corn wind damage, deer?

[@daveallen7767]

Are the adding nitrogen to silage from the yellow tank on the NH forage harvester ?

[@ThomasWallace-yb6nb]

That chopper needs a kernel processor!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Aftermarket ones were available for the 900's, but you noticed it doesn't have one, too.

[@michelchartrand7257]

Witch is the best way to spread the sillage,at the bottom of the pile like they did or your way by spreading it evenly on the pile,and why are you guys not doing it like them ?

[@deancampfield4703]

How many big farmers are by you guys or are they kinda the same situation you know where spend tons of money or try to get b

[@douglaswhite7328]

why does the 8930 have a single right rear wheel but double left rear wheels? Is this set-up to maximize traction for plowing? love the automatic hitch at 12:04.

[@RhGuse]

A full set of duals would run over a row. The chopper would need a longer hitch to swing far enough for both duals.

[@bradjenkins932]

No reason to take the other 1 off.

[@danw6014]

We had a 2590 Case on a New Holland chopper. It had duals.

[@jackmill4235]

when i saw the red iron I thought someone hijacked your channel.

[@tomspielmann9220]

RED POWER!

[@dennislang4375]

Those tractors are RED??🤣🤣

[@markpigman209]

Was he driving on a flat tire on the chopper

[@veetwin75]

seems to be quite a bit of green left on the ground behind that new holland chopper

[@RhGuse]

Chopper is not the cause. A bunch of that corn was lodged (falling over). Once the stalk breaks, a clean cut is challenging for any machine.

[@bradjenkins932]

Did you listen to him?

[@bobearl7859]

Why do you guys only fill your wagons half full

[@markpigman209]

Why don't they drive on pile while unloading wagon

[@steveketchum9836]

I'm sorry, but I don't understand why the guy bringing the empty wagon doesn't pull along side the chopper, extend the tongue and hook to the chopper instead of all that backing up. Just so u know, I ran the chopper, and 😅 hooked the wagons

[@joshuasherman9967]

I love pushing corn. Hay sucks lol

[@strong40]

The red tractors are better

[@deancampfield4703]

That didn't represent right sorry .what I meant was ratio to huge diaries or smaller farms just sayin

[@beast62ny31]

Great pics and drone work. Seems to me there is a lot of green left in the fields with that chopper. Second to that why so some chop earlier vs later like you guys?

[@beast62ny31]

Ooops asked to soon sorry!
