Making COW CHOW. Wheat silage HARVEST 2020

[@MrT79shakeshake]

Looks Like an Irish fella Buckraking...we are masters of the fork flick. Great Video again Mike.

[@tractors44]

Fork flicking is almost a trade mark.

[@Snowtruckdriver]

Another great video. Dad and I used to custom chop hay and corn in the early 70's out in Washington State. We put up dry chop alfalfa for a cubing plant and then 200,00 plus tons of corn silage in the fall for a big dairy and feed lot. Interesting way to double crop on this farm I never chopped any "wheatlage" before. Good concept. Thanks for your technical descriptions. Even an old farmer/Retired Truck Driver can learn something new.

[@andersisberg7658]

Interresting to see and hear. Here in europe I should say that making the pile with wheelloaders is the most common way to do it. Thanks for another great video Mike!!

[@AaronH42]

Another great video Farmhand Mike!! Appreciate all your effort in making them and thanks for sharing.

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks 👍

[@1striperon]

The ability of the combine to handle the size of windrow coming off the merger is amazing to me.

[@richardjellis9186]

Nice to see a BRITISH machines over the pond.!😁! LOVE THE VIDS KEEP'EM COMING RICH(UK) 🥰🥰🥰.

[@ScottPykare]

Wow! Really nice equipment and semis too. Slick looking chrome trailers on those trucks as well. Thanks Mike. Awesome video and drone footage as always.

[@clarencenieman9711]

Hi mike have you thought about using a sheeps foot for packing

[@farmhandmike]

Glad you liked it!

[@graemedobson6651]

Great video mike love the sound of that forager and that windrowers awesome more of this kind of action please definitely!!

[@farmshoffman8475]

Great awesome video mike, best time of year again , chopping silage

[@tonymckeage1028]

Spectacular Video, interesting that it's under conditions that are less than average, thanks for sharing

[@onionfriend9799]

Spent the last week chopping triticale silage here in south east Colorado. 102 degree temps today had the handrails on the tractors too hot to touch. Be glad when we’re done

[@fraserrose4209]

That maize silage stack is a sight to behold. Probably ten times the size of ours. Whole lotta face exposed though but I guess they wanted to get it out of the way so they could build this stack

[@richwielechowski5191]

Old school technology with the hay buck to build pile. Operator knows how to move material. Thanks.

[@OpunktSchmidt1301]

CLAAS! Feels like home...😉👍🏻 Thanx a lot for the video!

[@stanhensley3082]

Another great video! You fly like the wind 💨.Thanks.

[@jacobcheney3987]

love the old mack in the background and great video

[@kevincollins8014]

As always great videos and editing Mike. Thanks for sharing.

[@lenleblanc5912]

Beautiful views with that helicopter thingny Mike.

[@SimonKL11]

Great to see some chopping action👍

[@farmhandmike]

Thanks 👍

[@brentfarrow8125]

Nice thing the windrow doesn’t seem to rope the wheatlage like a rake does. The forage harvester works better. Just a observation. Thanks Mike 😎

[@levihemmel7798]

Great to see claas equipment. From my place of employment hard at work

[@ericschmelzer6243]

3:01 great shot with the reflection in the side of the semi trailer.

[@charleslloyd4253]

A tractor with a front hitch and PTO. Having to run over the hay driving part of it into the ground. Because the windrow can not be mounted on the front. A front mounted merger would provide cleaner more nutritious hay.

[@micahgrubb6867]

Im glad youre music is limited. These guys that play new age rock to all their videos. I move on. Some of the oride and glory of this hob is the sound of the machines. I love music bit i love the sound of a turbo tractor as well. 👍

[@zbigniewdudek2889]

Dziękuje bardzo.Faktycznie zielone zbierają To zborze Wheat na ziemi nie trawa Robię bale i owijają plastykiem aby fermentowało To ciekawe ze nie psuje się w środku

[@tractors44]

Nice to see JCB's working far from home.

[@MienTayTiVi]

powerful tractors good team

[@TractorCambodia]

Powerful machine 🤠 & great work

[@ronnieg6358]

Pity about that uncut strip, it stands out on a video like a sore thumb! Good to see a decent British built tractor being used.

[@charlesjenkins8078]

My hometown is Greenville.I love it there.

[@oldfarmer3001]

Cool video, thx for your work !

[@Ann-de4bw]

Greetings from Waikato New Zealand, great video .

[@toddjacobs5660]

Great video 👍

[@diggerdave.6587]

Hi ya Mike. Thank you for another fine video. That two tone semi is a lovely looking truck. Was the guy who mowed the crop having GPS issues? There seemed to be a lot of tufty bits across the field.

[@unidentifiable6152]

We also have an 8330 and it is our most fancy tractor

[@BRPFan]

Thanks for the video Mike! You sure can hear how uneven the windrow is by the sound of the forage harvester! Very hard on the drives! There may not be anyway to get around it?

[@davidouart9304]

Another great video!! Thanks!

[@FabianchoGamer84]

I like your videos, greetings from Colombia

[@andrewinbody4301]

At 25:00 we see the giant corn silage pile. Wow. Is that just for one year? How many cows does that support?

[@Voliere-infoNl]

seeing all the sheds, you are in the thousands ;)

[@keaganropp6617]

What is silage? These videos are cool as well

[@farmerjordanbelfort3803]

I recognize that place right off 47 west of Sidney? Going to Irish acres I assume ?

[@piperdoug428]

Nice Euro spec machines, weird why the tractors are cheaper but more options over there.

[@samspade4634]

Once again you make me feel like I'm out in the field, part of the team. It brings back a lot of great memories. Thanks Mike. Was that a hog finishing unit in the background? Dairy and hogs??? Wow great diversification in agriculture. Great stuff Mike.

[@farmhandmike]

Yes the field they were chopping in had hog confinement building in the background.

[@carsonnuckols8834]

Out here in California they do it the same way after the wheat is taken off for silage corn is planted in right behind the choppers, but we have everything irrigated so one pass with the swather is near bigger that that windrow that that merger is making😂

[@nialldaly7108]

It must be very soft stuff. That looked like 60' rows, You would not pick up 60' Grass row in Ireland or the UK at that speed. Also, you set corn after taking out the wheat?????. Wheat, Barley, Oats and Maize and others are all corn. Do you mean you set Maize after the Wheat. By the way can anyone tell me why in the USA you don't build the clamp with straight sides, Get more into a smaller space, less plastic for covering and so forth. I see clamps where they go up one side and off the opposite side, Why? Seems like a waste of space. Just curious. At 25:00, that looked like a nice clamp of stuff with nice high sides. What would be the average herd of cattle for such a farm and acerage of silage, all types.

[@richardkoehler9917]

Love these videos 👍🇺🇸

[@thepeoplespal5]

Great explanation as I've never come across wheat as silage. Do you allow the wheat to wilt, like you'd do for grass silage? As that looked mighty green in the row. Originally from Northern Ireland btw.

[@obryan240]

Beautiful farm

[@rubens9091]

Hi Mike how many cows do you have?

[@johnbonas8080]

Long time since I've heard it called a "buckrake", not since I left the UK. Must have had a rookie on the mowers, fair bit missed.

[@nialldaly7108]

I was just about to add a similar comment. It a guy did that in Ireland or the UK he would not get away without a severe slagging at the very least.

[@jimc4731]

Can you explain the imperfect cutting. It is not seen very often. JIM

[@bewleycustomag5868]

nice video mike love it do you happen to have a link to the song?

[@romeowhiskey1146]

See question below: Part 2 at 28:52 are those WHITE containers stacked up MILK? Where do the cows get involved?

[@MrT79shakeshake]

Those are haylage or silage bales

[@MrDabaja]

Great video!

[@michaelmurray11189]

Are cows considered picky eaters, or would they eat anything you feed them?

[@landtechnikmv-agriculturalvide]

Great video. Greets drom Germany

[@tywallace2379]

Is that an earth wall by the silage pile?

[@clarencenieman9711]

Have you thought of using a sheeps foot for packing

[@farmhandmike]

Some farms do that. Check out my corn silage videos from Convoy Dairy.

[@scottb2712]

If the empty cart would ride next to the one being filled instead of behind it the chopper wouldn't have to stop when the first one is full

[@romeowhiskey1146]

City Slicker Question: So,,,they feed this to DAIRY COWS...who make MILK. Is there a CHOCOLATE silage...for you know chocolate milk? Or...is it simply feed to Chocolate Cows?

[@randylevesque1504]

I like your videos but you never do an fall harvest as we call it up here in northern Maine potatoes you must have tater farmers out west ...

[@allenschmitz9644]

Popeye food for cows for 'victory'.

I wish Mike would have kept using some more of this music diversity in n his other videos. I love him and his production style but not his choice of music. Same old same old.

[@farmhandmike]

Ummm, this video is over 4 years old now. I'm seriously going to have to watch it again to understand what you mean as I don't use much music and don't have a lot of music to choose from that fits.

Yes I noticed that in certain clips. The key is to keep my lenses clean or clean it several times a day.
