Thank you!

[@danaedwards5464]

another nice save on the fawn and glad to see you getting some rain

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Yeah! We really could use some more!

[@stephenkeller6894]

Good thing you have that nice newer chopper to get all that feed put up!

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

You got that right!

[@davidvogel2592]

Looks like a beautiful crop of triticale harvested with the best tractors made

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Sure was! And they sure are!

Wie hoch ist die Aussaatstärke der Triticale im Herbst?

A nice video again ! Regards from germany

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Thank you!

[@kennardjohnson7875]

Probably have to make a hydraulic line I doubt you can get new parts for white tractors? I would think their is custom parts makers. But in my youth I found out that rubber line will wear thru steel on a deere radial pump.

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

You can still get stuff from agco. (Some stuff) and different places around the states. Biggest one is a place in Ohio! Have a bunch of parts and can try to make some things new too

[@markniemann4493]

[@dakotamoon8131]

@@leuenbergerdairy6038 they carry distinct memories for me as a kid. My grandfather had one. Only ever used it to pull the disc because it was the only tractor with duals that could handle the hills. I even made my first bale using that tractor. Unfortunately it punched a hole in the block and was basically stripped of all the good parts so others could live on. Now he runs what’s left of the farm with a Ford TW25 and a a farmall super C with the smallest front loader I’ve ever seen 😂

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, thanks for sharing

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Thanks for watching!

[@dylanflynn429]

How many tons per acre did you estimate you yielded?

[@kimculver1038]

Did you run a cost per ton ? Here in Pa with spray fertilizer it is pretty high

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

We did not spray this triticale. Only thing it got was manure for fertilizer.

[@Husker3435]

Talk about a green wave of feed…whoo!!!

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Lots of it!

Rain is a beautiful thing

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

It sure is! Especially when really needed!

[@vuduminerx3491]

Hey man, im new to the Chanel! What tractor and model is that?

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Welcome! Depends on which tractor you’re taking about! But a White 2-135 on the mower. White 140 on the chopper. And Oliver 1850 hauling wagons

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

What year is that white?

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

I’ll have to check! But before we bought it we think it was recently repainted

[@davidnovinski6809]

are you from southwest Wisconsin?

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

We are from northwest IL. But Wisconsin is right across the road from our farm. We are on the state line

[@davidnovinski6809]

I'm from Dodgeville WI

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

@davidnovinski6809 very nice! We are just south of browntown. In Winslow

[@themerrigans2734]

Music,yah!

[@rebelgaming7718]

Wanna leave less of anything on the ground not being rude or anything by any means but get an older roll bar rake and rake your crop up for chopping so it doesnt leave as much waste

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

We have 2 roll bar rakes and have them connected to rake 2 rows together. They were down for first crop so just didn’t use them but have been using them for second crop. Don’t worry I know you weren’t being rude! But no way could we have raked 2 together during this triticale me row was enough!

[@user-zu2bw7ig5v]

Would have been way to heavy of a windrow putting 2 together

[@rebelgaming7718]

Be careful don't let the tribbles find it.

[@shealy265]

You are definitely color blind on brands for silage wagons. Do you have a preference for one brand over the other, or is it all about price?

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

I guess you could say that. No real preference just a nice looking box for a good price is about it. Only wagon I ever hated was our REX wagon we got rid of it and got the small meyers box!

[@stevenbetassa7329]

Ok im going to ask you something stupid, why not use a swather? much wider windrows

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Well we have a discbine already so just use that. And any wider on the windrow our chopper wouldn’t of been able to pick it all up. And our rakes if wider can’t turn them thick of rows.

[@Thegrim326]

​@leuenbergerdairy6038 can't also forget why spend the money on something when you don't have the land or right equipment to justify having one

[@stevenbetassa7329]

@@Thegrim326 I understand, where Im from our county and 2 or 3 other countries next to us, you never is a pull-behind swather, unless its someone with 30 or less acres, or a cattleman with range land, the hay farmers have all swathers, infact most have the rotary head units. in fact a few farmers have 2 or 3 untis. that can add up in money, not sure but a new JD Swather im sure is $160-$200K

[@r.scotthill3082]

Why wouldn't you just plant the corn no til?

[@leuenbergerdairy6038]

Last time we planted later corn in a dry year we tried to no-till. Corn only grew to 4 foot tall and we broke our marker arm off with how dry the ground was.

[@r.scotthill3082]

@@leuenbergerdairy6038 That looks like an one time happening. Over all no til is an economic and agronomic winner.

Just seeing how it does tilling In a dry year see if it works out or not
