Opening up the Silo/ Green Chopping with 830 Case

[@dawidvandyk296]

Good Evening from South Africa.

[@ronzezulka6646]

The Van Dale looks like a really nice unit.

[@travis9449]

Man that ole case will still get it done mister awesome video God bless

[@ronniewayne5748]

Alan thats what i like about you you have common sense like what you did firing up the blower putting air up in the silo before goin up into the silo we always did the same thing too .your grandpa taught you well i admire and respect that.

[@trinitydairy]

Thank you

[@ronniewayne5748]

@@trinitydairy you very welcome

[@karencary3312]

Watching you farm it reminds me how beautiful God's creation is. I thank God for it and YOU!!!

[@veesercattleco.4111]

It's a happy time of year. Great feed & vid as always!!👍👍👍👍

[@andreaharner5411]

Van Dale magnum unloaded is probably one of the best one's I have one that my dad bought in 1980 after all these years still working great

[@anthonyhengst2908]

I was very excited to see the Little B get a little action. Like to see classic tractors stay loose. I have learned more ways to use pails thanks to you. That pail at the bottom of the silo was a genius idea.

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

That's a handy farmall B! The 830 sounds great.

[@don66hotrod94]

Good to see that 830 earning her keep, not bad for a near 60 year old tractor.

[@trinitydairy]

Those old case's, just keep on going!

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@trinitydairy I can attest to that. Only thing wrong with our 630 is it could use bigger wheels. It does tend to get hung up on anthills but for power on the blower it does just fine and it does fit inside the barn. We drive it right through when the barn cleaner breaks down.

[@randymonninger9913]

We had badger uploader hate dam thing always get stuck one you have best one on market after we got solo empty we built trench I no what you all go thro did 35yrs God bless hard work you all do

[@sarahburkdorf8338]

I love your little Farmall B they're a handy tractor. I have a narrow front end Farmall c, that's handy to get around with as well. Your heifers look great ! But boy I don't miss going up in a silo ! Love your videos!

[@d17190xt]

i stood on a gate by the winch and pulled on cable when silage stopped coming if wheel was getting stuck. it worked 90% of the time. sure beat climbing 50 feet up a silo

[@mattlundeen9358]

Great video as always, and you’ve got a nice herd of heifers! I see you’re closing in on 15K subscribers, congratulations! Wasn’t that long ago you were doing a giveaway for 10k. If you’re taking suggestions for content, a video explaining how the silo unloaded works (how the cord wraps going up and down, and how the pickup rotates and the chute to the door remains stationary….) could be good for some viewers. Free suggestion for what it’s worth. Thanks for sharing your experiences with all of us!

Keep up the good work Alan!

Love that ol case and that farmall b

That A is a handy little tractor! My go to tractor was the JD B, did everything with that! Also had a JDH that was handy!

Great video

always liked jersey cows very calm and easy to work with

[@deanbrown4512]

I enjoy your farming.

[@kenmusselman4124]

Great video have some nice looking heifers coming up to add to the heard

[@farminstoltzfus]

Bout the newest looking Van Dale Magnum I've ever seen. We have one in a 26x70 and 18x50. Simple unloaders. Relatively cheap to run and maintain.

[@HumbleHaymakers]

I don’t know nothin’ about silos, but my first thought was, step out on the silage and sink to the bottom - LOL. The Case 830 is a cool tractor. It looked like you were riding and roping out there. Great video...👍

[@davidbaysinger3381]

Great videos loved the farm!

[@mikebrown1188]

You have a great crop of heifers. I saw a lot of kernels in that silage that will be good feed

[@edreisinger5757]

We had two 20ft vandals unloaders on grandpas farm and a 16ft on a rented farm. They were good simple units. Most of the time we had to put one of the weights on the drive wheels. Usually we had to put the other out above the adger once we got down in the silo. I don't recall ever breaking a pin in the drive line. We buried the drive wheels plenty of times though.

[@trinitydairy]

I've never sheared a pin on this one but the van Dale in the other silo shears pins on the drive wheels quite often .

[@tweek857]

Me and my friend went to a dairy farm and removed the silo unloader and the conveyer also it was fathers day weekend hotter then hadies. Loaded all onto a big gooseneck and drove 4 hours home. It was a long weekend. Being in those silos is no fun! Be safe up there

[@ralphriddle8864]

Good job and God bless yall

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

Good to see the old b back in action this is a guy from Western PA that watches you I've had my be apart all summer. And we are slowly coming back together now engines back on fully functional got it together a week ago last Friday so coming almost 2 weeks now and we hit some hay down and some good weather to make it over that weekend used it a lot in the hay make sure everything was loose going to start well again and so on the since it's working good we figured we treated to a new starter converter to 12 volts so now we're waiting to get it back and in the meantime we're prepping it for paint and boy it's not like doing NH m or c you got to get them wheels off and then get in there and clean the wheel dish up and clean the final drive up we had an issue with the one final drive I thought we had a bad bearing or bad seal turns out it was just loose gaskets got them tightened up startedto degrees at the left hand side this afternoon supposed to be nice a couple days we want to get full grain ground ready and then be damp again Saturday hoping to get back at it degrees the other side and finish up the axle housings underneath and so on get it ready to paint get a sunny day next week and some time we'll probably finish painting it get the detail set on have it ready to go back to work your sounds good good to see it running talk to you later

[@fasrfreddy]

Thanks for the ride….

[@codyh3890]

Surface drive unloaders great unloaders only time they r a pain is when you just fill the silo and they r still a little soft on top but usually once u get a ring or two down then they r fine. We've got one surface drive and 3 ring drives...

[@deerespetes8849]

That b on u the blower is pretty cute.

[@stuartsplace100]

worked in a few silo`s in area farms here in Vt.

[@canadianHAWK3]

awesome.

[@MattgIH]

Damn Alan I'd say you almost got whiplash chopping on that 830 lol get r done

[@trinitydairy]

Lol!

[@thekibby8375]

Those old Case tractors are pretty non existant here in central PA. Was your grandpa a case man back in the day, or how yins come about getting so many of them? Love the vids

[@trinitydairy]

They did start out with case, but never were to brand loyal, I think it was mainly because they were cheap power.

[@Joey966]

We always had problems gettin it goin at first in the silo then pretty smooth sailin.

[@MrYeh2]

That unloader looks new.

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah it was definitely a rare find! Unloaded a 40ft silo 3 times, before I got it.

[@ronmetz9172]

That B Farmall is as handy as a thumb.

[@peteredelhofer6852]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@denanyr]

It's hard to tell with that fish eye lens... Is that a 20 foot diameter silo? How tall is she?Also, what model is that Case? We still use a 630 tripl range to do our light duty stuff like raking and tedding...

[@trinitydairy]

It's only 14ft dia, and 25ft tall. That case is a 830, case o matic.

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

How much hp do you need to run those silage blowers?

[@trinitydairy]

I'm not really sure what a minimum HP would be, I would guess, about 40hp on a smaller setup like this, haylage blows a lot harder than corn silage, so you would probably want, more HP for that.

[@ssmith1931]

👍👍

[@justinzimmerman5350]

Great video how many AC is your farm

[@trinitydairy]

We own 60 and rent 140

[@ronzezulka6646]

How many amps can you pull with it?

[@trinitydairy]

It doesn't have a amp gauge, so I'm not sure.

[@williammatzek4660]

Alan do still use anything that runs a flat belt?

[@trinitydairy]

Not really, I have a saw rig for the B Farmall, that is belt drive, but it's just a short belt.

[@irishlad8797]

I think it sheared a pin

[@french-canadianfarmer5049]

Boehm farms calls green chopping: mecanical grazing.

[@flossdaly8274]

Why do you green chop for the dry cows. Why not feed silage. Questions from a city slicker.

[@trinitydairy]

Just to make the silage last longer, and it's a good way to get rid of the weeds in the new seeding.

[@cassidylockard1527]

How much rain do u get a year on Average

[@trinitydairy]

31 inches of rain on average a year

[@bryanginder5903]

Looks like your silo is a little out of round at the top door frame!

[@trinitydairy]

This one isn't too bad, but the one by the barn is very egg shaped.

[@bryanginder5903]

@@trinitydairy you always have a spot by the door that needed a little more plaster or they didn't sit the door frame out just enough, it happens! O a egg shaped silo is not good, that can be hard to get unloaders to work right in some times!

Why don't you have people get up there to pack the silage down. It would make better silage, would it not. Been a very long time since I worked up-right silos. Blessings..

[@trinitydairy]

I no longer have the piping to hang in there, or enough help. It still makes nice silage.

[@jeeveswooster6922]

Simply need higher moisture silage to pack better and make it more air tight.

[@Samsmitty378]

That silage looks awful dry.

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah it was, it tested about 52 percent moisture.
