Unloading Silage Wagon of Wood Chips

[@michael7423]

I love the way nothing goes to waste on your farm

[@leesteele9290]

Your enthusiasm , ambition ,and sarcasm are very entertaining ! Thanks for the video!

[@PlanetMojo]

"you just get straight out worn out dragging branches" -- I know the feeling. I've been clearing woods by hand on hillsides, and it can be pretty damn exhausting. Same stuff in our woods -- old fences, honeysuckle, junk trees, and other garbage to clear out.

[@toddlaesch3444]

You will probably have to dig the fence out with end loader …………. I’ve found it to be the best way especially when fence is under the ground

[@daviddaniken7248]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking to buy an older silage wagon just for this purpose. It looks like it unloads just as easily as silage.

[@maxdamron4020]

“Shove it all the way back in there.” “YEAH”

[@RoederFamilyFarms]

My dad told me once that the easiest way to rip out old fenceline is with a moldboard plow.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

near the end of the video when the clouds were messing with the sun light, you got a neat special effect. this seems to work pretty dog gone good. WD-40 might be the ticket for the sticking PTO pin and that thing having trouble with long slow strokes.

[@gregorythompson2251]

Look like a job for a bungie cord

[@deanfulford69]

Instead of the corn 🌟 your the wood 🌟

[@garywaxler7866]

One year used a Allis Chalmers WD to pull in & unload silage wagons (used 2 Massey Fergusons & 1 Badger wagon that looks just like yours). It would pull them in & did just fine but I wouldn't recommend it every year. lol

[@ryanchapmanfarms7458]

You should unload on too a Elevator so you don't have to move and it's in one tall pile

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That worked well!!

[@jankotze1959]

Looks like a possible cheaper alternative for cow bed and manure,

[@boehmfarm4276]

And it doesn't weave like straw will.

[@BedeMeredith]

get your uncles bobcat, At one point you said he had a wood, mill, might be another good spot to get wood chip from. you could look into building a basic pole barn, if you smash the concrete up a bit more you can use it for fill in your roadways. there's probably a lot more junk under that bank than you want to know about, id try not to do to much earth work there than you need too. You should still look into mole plowing, that creeks a fair drop so plenty of height for the water to drain out to .

[@garywaxler7866]

& on that ratchet problem, i'd definitely replace the spring first & then grease that rod up really good.

[@blacksheep9734]

Gary Waxler nahh just need to be used

[@andywilkinson3792]

Hi when you go to get the right size bucket for that tractor. Mine on my little grey fergie is bigger than that and your tractor is twice the size. L.o.l. good video. I think you need a new grease gun wich works or some one to go around doing the greasing for you. L.o.l from Andy in UK

[@MrMagnum7220]

That stuff will probably heat up and get hot. Be careful unloading heavy stuff in the wagon, something could very easily break. Chain, gears or the ratchet assembly

[@edbenedicto]

For your leaky tires try “TireJect”. Cheers

[@noname-zs4ev]

You might be able to use an auger if it's dry enough.

[@jasonmushersee]

"its not going back all the way" there suppose to be a spring pulling it back against that big cam. without that spring takes forever to unload if anything. spring attaches just below that greasable roller and back to that green angle iron frame. heavy loads of corn silage like over 72% moisture those ratchet dogs may slip off/not hold and need to be replaced or welded squared up again other than that this is a good box should haul thousands of loads. when i chopped corn i would fill this badger box completely totally full both front/behind the beaters and it always unloaded good without having to pitchfork. just don't unload with tractor full throttle or the apron chain breaks goes up the silo.

[@boehmfarm4276]

The spring is there, probably needs more grease.

[@marcusworkman5045]

Was just wondering if you have to stir up your wood chip pile, sometimes they tend to build up heat, was worried a little at first that it may be to much weight for the drag chains to move but saw you didn't have any problems, keep up the great videos

[@RumbleRoverTV]

You need a kipper insted of te silagewagen

[@ftfarmerfix9778]

Can you put a exten on it to put it out farther

[@darrellnichols6179]

Are you worried about that pile heating being close to building? Seen a lot of mulch piles burn over the years.

[@boehmfarm4276]

I never though of it, but if it does, it'll force maintenance to be done to the barn.

[@shawnfox8002]

I take it your making bedding for your cattle and hogs

[@shawnfox8002]

Will you put more hogs in the barn where you took the hogs from to go to market and put these chips in to keep dry

[@boehmfarm4276]

No more hogs.

[@shawnfox8002]

Perfect place to keep dry chips at least that's where I'd put them

[@chrishoffmann4763]

Does this not have an end dump and reverse the floor chain?

[@boehmfarm4276]

It is forward motion only.

[@anthonygostling]

If you reverse backwards you wouldn't run over it.

[@tomalberts5195]

one thing I asked myself once you got the pile knocked down Why not move closer? Tractor and wagon are on wheels legs get tired dragging 1/4 of small trees is harder work than moving closer to the work? Enjoy real family farmers working together.

[@boehmfarm4276]

We relocate the machines, we were running into terrain issues at the last spot.

[@cadenmoyer6425]

Are you excited for silage season

[@boehmfarm4276]

Yes, if we ever plant something.

[@38klootzak]

a small excavator would do you really good and it's not that expensive

[@shellumfarms9523]

His Voice cracked at 18:34 But I liked the video

[@farmcentralohio]

do enough of that and you'll be in the mulch business before you know it. looks great for what you're using it for

Question? I see you are wearing a Wilmington Collage tee shirt, Did you attend that school? My son looked at going there 2 years ago. Very nice farm school. As I remember they seam to use a lot of John Deere equipment.

[@boehmfarm4276]

I graduated from Wilmington College in 2014. Sadly, they have green right now....

[@farmcentralohio]

@@boehmfarm4276 maybe agpro will screw up those deals and they'll get a different brand in there. jd equip. was good about making those deals good for the schools, we'll have to see how it works out. fingers crossed lol

[@shawnfox8002]

The big bare trees are probably ash trees the ash bore killed

[@ethanlee9441]

Spring is wore out

[@moman0166]

You didn’t lock the PTO shaft into the tractor PTO. More farm accidents have been caused by careless handling of the PTO and most of them are fatal.

[@ghenry85]

Do you have anything worked or planted yet? I remember having trouble years ago on a New Idea manure spreader with the ratchet drive. Great concept for having variable speeds in a compact mechanical drive, just seems like they were a pain maintenance wise. How long has your family been on that farm?

[@boehmfarm4276]

We planted some sweet corn Thursday. Not a spec of dust, did make a few splashes. Not really that dry at all.

[@ghenry85]

@@boehmfarm4276 Same here but with cow corn. It is what is at this point.
