I’ve said this before and I’m going to say it again I’d love when you have your children in your videos. It does not get any better than that. Thanks, Kip you’re the best.

[@danielhurrle7008]

Kip we always sealed of the bag like others have said. Not telling you what to do but the little extra bag you use is well worth it. Great video.

[@randybedker1584]

Can you keep the hay in the bags for a second year just in case the weather doesn't cooperate next year. Never know when the rain turn off..

[@kevingordon7426]

Super trucker holding his own. Good crew

[@bryankeator8396]

Always enjoy seeing the 4430 and the 40. Great tractors. Have a good one guys

[@stevewalker9449]

Old hay is old gold it’s way better to be looking at it than looking for it never know what next year brings

[@jerryfish1303]

Your videos are the most informative videos on the Internet. I absolutely love them thanks, Kip. You’re the best.

[@chevyguy-hf1yq]

Great work brother. A beard makes an old man out of every last one of us!!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

After the first bag, you have the idea of how far the next one will go. Beats trying to blow it up a silo, no climbing to see if you are close to full. I ran the chopper AND had to do the climbing. I won't say that things didn't get screwed up, but I couldn't be in both places. Bags made it easier.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for another great video Kip. It was interesting and enjoyable for sure. Love wrestling match. Got to have a little fun every once in a while. That was good. Lonnie is really stepping up to the plate with more and more responsibility. That is really good for him. Appears to be a real good person in the team. Hang in there Lonnie. Doing a great job getting the hay chopped and in the bags. You are getting this bagging down pat. Seems the process is going good. I never was around this system. I always helped in a pit silo system. I thought that worked pretty good. But you seemed to get along real good with this bag system. Each to their own I guess. About it I guess. You did pretty good on the pregnancy tests. Believe you said that out of 50 only three were not pregnant. Bulls doing good overall it seems. About it I guess. You all take care and be safe. The Iowa farm boy. Steve.

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys

[@brandonschott5909]

I've learned to not pay attention to the red lines. I had a whole pallets of bags be off on both ends. My rule of thumb is to quit when I get to 3 folds left of bag

[@tomhall7250]

Hay I’m wearing the same shirt…LETS GO

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

💪💪

[@Husker3435]

G’job to all y’all, it is nice not having to worry about slugging a blower, with the ag bags, just let her eat, no worries 👌🏻 God Bless Y’all 🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸

[@chadpaider1009]

If you leave the bag hooked up to the bagger and not fill it in a couple days. You will get mold into the feed. Air still gets to it. Might be better off to pull it off the bag and cut it start the second cut bag in front of it. with what's left of the bag you have on. Just my thoughts.

[@davidbrinckman9301]

Where does Lance play football?

[@jasonnehls1083]

I can honestly say you can unload into a silo that fast and not plug up 6:40

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

If you are lucky. Been there, done that.

[@bodiehot]

sorry you are wrong

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@bodiehot I have done both. Even with a lot of HP, and silos less than 75', they can plug up, especially in haylage/ grain silage. Baggers worst enemy is too much moisture, and they can "puke", but some dry hay will let you keep going.

[@bodiehot]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj well i am 73 years old and i have filled a lot of silos and bags are better

[@jasonnehls1083]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj luck has nothing to do with it. We do it all the time. Got to keep up with a self propelled

[@tucker4450]

To not have the access feed in the bagger when The bag is full and you are pulling out make sure you have the bagger on but the tractor idling it save that little mess that’s what we do👍💪👊

[@ericschmitt2597]

Always a good miscalculation to have more feed than expected

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

That’s what I thought!

[@jerryfish1303]

Tell Lonnie, he’s doing a great job. Don’t think he gets a lot of comments. Maybe I’m wrong but I think he’s awesome.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

I second that 👍👍🍻

[@lesterhertel2945]

Another very interesting video Thank you😊😊😊😊

[@damoh4803]

Have to agree. Close the bag after done chopping for best quality feed. Just cut it off and leave remainder on machine for next cutting. Thirty plus years bagging experience here including some custom. Great job!

[@TylerHymers]

You will regret leaving the bagger hooked up until second cutting. Cut and seal the bag and start fresh with second cutting.

[@jameschapman6908]

Better too much feed than not enough. Where's the commodity shed going?

[@jamesforman6587]

I'm so happy to see you not climbing those silos

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Hey, hey, there boys you're getting in the corn with your shenanigans. That would get my Pa all worked up. It's always good to have a little extra silage then you need. Don't want to come up short.

[@toddjohnson7972]

John deere hasn't changed there pull chopper much. I used to use a 3960 back in the 80's that looks just like yours

[@kevingordon7426]

Never know what 2nd and 3rd cutting will do. Take advantage and put it up.

[@stevenhancock7462]

Good things about bags there on the ground

[@hermanbishop5275]

I love putting up silage

[@stevenhancock7462]

Tell the guys doing awesome job thanks for sharing bags look good kip. LETS GO 😅

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Another goid video. It was fun to see those guys wrestle. Need a break once in awhile.

[@DanielJock-nl6wz]

If you put a bunker up you’ll free up a lot of shed space and not have the maintenance on the wagons.

[@matthewbinger7465]

I love the energy you guys have ! I would definitely not leave the bagger on the bag 1-it will get oxygen and mold 2-it will destroy the inside of the tunnel and rust it horribly. The amount of plastic you use to cut and seal it is far less than the value of feed you will loose.

[@rogernighbert5436]

When they wrestle around and play like that it's good sometimes it means they care about each other. And it makes working go a lot better. And you still get the work done. Good Job Guy's.

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@alfredomarotta6604]

👍👍🍻

[@ethanschafer9721]

Dang that thing burns the fuel! Our 4440 only uses about 1/2 tank when filling a 250ft bag...wonder what the difference is!?

[@randybedker1584]

How much rain you get yesterday I dumped 3.75 inches crazy. That's in Scottville by lakeshore.

[@canvids1]

Kip I watch all your videos enjoy them all but the fall time and crops coming off the fields always my favourite time of the year/ as a kid that was my time working.

[@tomhall7250]

Carry on sir ! I’m having ice cream!❤

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@drumhillerfarms6858]

Those bars look a lot easier to load. Maybe a little more work to unload? Is a pit less work?

[@edh8144]

Is there a reason you chop the hay with one chopper and the corn with the self propelled? I know you guys have a system that works and works well. Just wondered. Thanks for the videos Kip, keeep them coming!

[@danmartin9558]

Mr. Cool split A/C units are awesome maybe they can hook you up they have done some units for other KZbinrs and systems are dyi

[@Travis_Rivers]

I'd say a stellar 1st crop right there !!

[@gatorguy7711]

Great content! Take care and. be safe...

[@jasonrhodes7047]

I also to silos and bags. 4 8x200 bags of haylage and i fill my 20x60 silo with corn 0lus fill another 200ft bag of corn. The only thing i hate about bags is the cleanup.

[@stevebiddle8912]

Looks like a great first cutting. Always enjoy seeing the family in your videos. Stay safe

[@tomhall7250]

Retired from owner operator OTR trucking….kinda sad 😔

[@markgreen9763]

Good job buddy

[@bobhover3863]

I’m very happy to see you won’t be climbing up those silos in sub zero weather this winter. So much safer for you and your family to be working out of bags. May god bless you all.

[@jasonbeecher509]

We always sealed up the first cutting and started with a short bag of second cutting

[@randybennett5417]

If you can unload from wagons onto the feed conveyor that would be great.

[@michaelwood5327]

Is your Dad running the chopper?

[@scottkrieger6386]

How are you from Lake Michigan

[@jeffreyjohnston8765]

Nice 👍

[@geoffhirsh2402]

So what kind of feed setup will you have at the dry cow lot?

[@nickjewart9351]

You are very lucky to have so much help on your farm!

[@jerryfish1303]

Your videos are the most informative videos on the Internet. I absolutely love them thanks, Kip. You’re the best.

[@scottkrieger6386]

Your first crop better or best it's ever bin.

[@tquick3321]

I work for an Eriks Bike Sop in Minnesota. I have reached out before success for a huge store and operation. You gotta be joyful and send love to all staff. Not sure you seem my message years ago. It’s prime time now keep growing in love for them. Not sure you read that before but you’re doing it now so well. I’m blind we all have journeys adapt and conquer.

[@tquick3321]

I was hesitant to say and I don’t want a pump for me. We all have dreams and adventures to feel

[@rubenmanitowabi5671]

Good stuff I work construction up here in Canada and my dozer ain’t got no A/C good call super trucker talking the a/c

[@KipSieglerFarming1]

👍👍

[@robsherman8963]

Get those girls some a/c! 😂

[@darrylhauswald8956]

Skip I know you have a lot invested in silage Equiptment. Likewise so do we. Of all the money we have to spend one of the best investment we have made is the Agri speed hitches we have 10 wagons. Man every one that helps us is amazed at how they work. No getting on and off to hook and un hook. Retrofitted a receiver on the chopper. The people hauling in never have to get out of the tractor. You can find them at the Bergman mfg company. Just a suggestion. I’m 77 and brother is 80.

[@joelmoody1569]

It's Kip Not Skip.

Thank You

Hay

[@jd2181]

If your going to do A/C on the house do it this year. First of the year all refrigerants are EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE and the cost of install is going through the roof. Thanks SEER2 🤦🏻

[@DonWelter]

NIce to see the well-coordinated effort !!! Glad to see the family time despite the busy days during haying season. Still need more rain in N. Central Ohio. Had a nice shower Sunday morning...helped green things up a bit.

[@burtzorn4059]

How much does a bag cost . You put a couple of window shakers in your house would help a bunch. And a couple of fans to move the cool air around. We don't have a big place, one a c unit and two fans. Makes a huge difference.

[@CGW116A]

Not sure why you need to go full RPM filling those bags. It was unclear what the tunnel size your filing. Certainly not running a silage blower anymore and old habits die hard. I also seem to recall baggers with a chain will jump off at high RPMs.

[@CaryGuyer]

What you ran into was the expansion/packing factor. Not a bad thing to have because you are actually storing more per bag which equates to more efficiency.

[@randyphillips5713]

Now you can fill more bags to keep for when the crop isn’t as good. Great video.

[@DarrellRobinson-ob1sk]

I wouldn’t leave bagger on cut bag off or it will spoil all the way back trust me you don’t want to leave it on made bags for 30 years

[@homey3051]

[@brucemckeown3283]

Are you hauling on the road? I don't think you have safety chains

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Yeah, so?
