Unloading chopped alfalfa haylage into the sealstor silo

You guys do such a good job. Crop looked great. I enjoy your videos very much. To me you guys have the right size dairy farm and you get it done. You know your cows, you milk your cows, you do all your cropping. I would take an operation your size any day of the week. A true family farm . Thank you.

This reminds me of when I worked on my neighbors dairy farm in high school, running chopper wagons and unloading into ag bags. Thanks for sharing!!

[@heartlandfarmer2720]

Thanks for the video. I do it exactly like you do it, except my chopper tractor is a 4450, the chopper is JD, and our wagons are New Holland. My dad is in the nursing home so I now chop and haul alone. Hay drying weather has been hard to come by this year. Blessings!

That's great you got it all in. Some nice you take your son with you. I try to take my son as much as I can to, they learn a lot just being by your side. Good job and your a good Dad.

Send like it was just yesterday that we were Filling silo with a self unloading wagons and blower. We had badger wagons they were only 2 speeds I would stay in the tractor run the speed of the wagon in low until the pole tipped over then I would switch to high. If I wanted to run slower or faster in our or high I would speed up or slow the engine rpms up or down. Worked great with the foot pedal on the 4020. We had a 4430 on the blower, same blower you have. Couldn't plug it if you tried.

Great video. Love seeing the pull-type forage harvesters out in the field. So many self propelled choppers now a days, but growing up all my family farm even had was a Gehl 1285 and then a Case IH FHX300. Nice seeing your unloading part too. That blower is really eating the hay.

used to do that job from sun up to sundown running wagons with the old H and M Farmall's used the old JD 720 on the blower.... our big tractor back then was a 4020...lol. Miss those days.

Ahhh, I've been waiting for this video. Good looking feed going into the silo. Hope the rest of your crops are doing well. We are at a stand still with 4 wet days and looking at another tomorrow. Got a bunch of hay to do but no hay weather to do it. Keep the videos coming i enjoy knowing somebody is getting their work done

Looking good we just finished second crop and it remind me of my time in West va. I worked there for a year on a 250head dairy way back in time anyways thanks Mike have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

When I saw the first load, I was worried that Dad wasn’t filling the wagons all the way up this year, he didn’t disappoint 😂

[@antonyfarming]

Great vid Mike good to get in before the rain 👍👍

I always enjoyed helping my cousin with haylage. I preferred running the chopper. I'll always remember his warnings "Dont engage the augers or beater bars too fast, you'll plug up the blower"

[@murrayhalbert2988]

I love farm vids, I put in 1000's of acres of silage in, both haylage and corn as a young lad, father was into "custom Farming" along with our own beef. Looked as if you were picking up second cut and was cut the day before, I can tell because of the water spray on the blower infeed. I can date myself I was 14 yrs old and running a New Idea Unisystem with a chopper. On second cut we would pick up 5-7 acres an hour, I would literally catch up to the 9 foot Owatonna swather. With the equipment I seen in this vid you should throw in a little old tractor with a rake and at least double up those windrows. Just say'n ..Awesome vid

[@bigtrukkbigchevy4808]

Nice job chopping mike. That was always my favorite time. How many acres do you all farm.

[@patrickcourtwright1326]
