Dear Bigtractorpower, lying in our couch in Berlin, Germany with my almost 2-year old son who is sick with high fever watching your videos one after the other. The little guy is a huge fan of yours and although he doesn’t yet says so many things that make sense he do say “tractor” all the time. Your videos is the only thing he is allowed to watch on tv/yt. I also think we have to plan a US-trip and visit a farm! Just wanted to give a huge thank you for your excellent work and making my sons sick-day a lot better. Best regards from Germany,

It's great to see a New Holland self-propelled forage harvester in action! This was the last series before the all-new FRs. The FX50 definitely came along later. Excellent footage once again, especially the beautiful panoramas from the drone and also the quick-hitch. Those would save an enormous amount of work and time, and I strongly suspect the operators can feel the difference at the end of the day from not manhandling those wagon tongues or climbing on and off the tractors so much. That pickup head is huge. You'd need pretty flat ground to use both it and that auto-hitch. Again, excellent video. You need to show some more New Hollands chopping!!

What a very beautiful farm all the trees in the Rollinghills absolutely magnificent and the harvester was really cool to

Great Video BTP, Interesting as this is a process which is close to obsolete, the towers and other supporting gear are being replaced with bags, thanks for sharing

Thanks for the video BTP. Your getting me excited to finish the restoration on our New Holland 1915 and get it out chopping silage this summer. It’ll be pulling covered wagons behind it the same as this FX40.

Great video and a beautiful farm. Love seeing them still using the upright silos. When I was young I used to help a local dairyman in Virginia fill silos with corn, brings back good memories

Beautiful machine and great catch!!!! And also amazing countryside!! Keep on buddy!!!

The land of Cream, Butter & Cheese. That is beautiful country, so green. 🐄🚜👍

One issue with chopping alfalfa in a dry condition is the spontaneous combustion problem that can happen in silos if there is not enough moisture in the haylage. This happened to a neighbor years ago in a silo and it, as far as I can remember, ruined the silo. Not to mention the loss of the feed too. The NH FX40 is a great chopper!! Really like your videos BTP!! Thank you...

Some beautiful shots there with the drone. Wisconsin looks fantastic.

Loved the last 2 videos

Nice video! I really like 2000s machines.

those hitches really save your back when working with wagons. they arent a Case New Holland item but are a product made by a company called Bergman Manufacturing. Agri- Speed Hitch is the key words to search for

Nice drone footage!!

Nice video sir! Great machine!!!

wow look at that, I don't think I've ever seen so much green

Very well done my friend thank you.

0:42 onwards that is a wonderful shot. Excellent work, good sir! :-) Is the sound in the drone shot from the drone itself or overlaid from a simultaneous ground microphone track?

Looks like that tractor has one of those quick hitches that OLF showed us ?

Loving these forage harvester videos, keep ‘em coming

I love silage!

I miss the farm.

that's a older machine with good upkeep...still runnin strong and saving the farmer 900.000 for a new one

That header is huge for a forage harvester

Love your videos

Great video!

Better shot of the quick hitch wound be nice it looks like the OLF uses. Thank you BTP.

JD Waterloo made tractors are the best if they make one in the size you need.

It was a great video as always, BTP. I wish you could've ridden & recorded in the cab.

I saw the video when you got your tractor and wanted to tell you that several years ago their was an equipment auction at Sikeston, Mo. where you might pickup some implements. Not sure if they still have it or not but just a thought. Thanks for all your efforts.

Beautiful area, one thing that blow my mind is how is it possible for the blower to blow that capacity of forage up the relative small pipe to the top without blocking, if it works like I think that blower must be extremely powerful and still blow my mind, great video BTP

Good vídeo btp!👍👍🚜

I hope they have some bigger fields, as this one looks very small.

Would I be right in guessing this was manufactured in the same factory as the older Ford-New Holland harvesters? I know this was introduced after the Ford partnership ended but I'm just curious. Nice machine in any case. 👍 EDIT: Sorry for my ignorance, I'm still learning about farming and all the machinery and everything. Might not be knowledgeable about it but I'm still intrigued by it. 😆

Considering a self-propelled chopper. What is better this type feature here or a John Deere 5830 self propelled chopper?

Lot heavier amount of material than the one yesterday. This is also the first time I've seen the silage unloaded into the silo. Is there an auger all the way up the silo or some other means to propel it up?

First comment

Thank you kindly. Do you have a JD Harvestor with a skip container please?

My dads second chopper was a similar model compared to his old Claas 860 he hated it got rid of it after 1st cutting first year he had it we have never gone NH and never will we’ve always been Claas except for about 7 years ago we tried a Deere it wasn’t great but it worked went to a couple more Claas’s tried Deere’s new 8000 series first year awful traded it for a second year was decent and now we run 2 Claas 960’s

How tall is the silo they are filling?

I don’t want come off as an ass but they made a fx 50 also big tractor power

We had one of these but it got to old so i sold it

Almost looks too dry! Lots of dust flying!

great video, chopper operator needs to invest in blower spot camera would save his neck lol

This mist be from last year?

Was this filmed in 2018. Didn't think there was any corn that far along in that area this year.

Are there any forage harvesters made in US 2019 or are all of them made in EU?

Ha ha ha I have one of these at my dairy

Please is this what it means when beef and mike states 100% grass and gain feed

Very nice,the 🐄⬅cows say thanks B.T.P.HAHA!!.

is this 2019 crop that corn looks dang tall for the weather that has been going on

Why is it you see so many self-propelled choppers for sale.

Obviously a 2018 Wisconsin harvest. 2nd crop it looks like. Because it is being blown into a bottom unloading oxygen limited silo the hay is a bit drier than what you would put into a bunker, bag or even a standard top unloading cement silo. Probably around 45-50% moisture. Higher moisture than that and you begin to have unloader problems. That goes for Harvestors too.

You never heard of bad content have you? This is so damn terrible my tv told me to keep watching, lol, little joke there, its an incredible video my friend, we need at least those trailers on FS19, but that hitch must be magnetic, or is there a little device that directs it to the hitch?

Whoever mowed that field needs to slow down or sharpen their blades. Pretty shitty job!
