    Spectacular Video, interesting that it's under conditions that are less than average, thanks for sharing

    The ability of the combine to handle the size of windrow coming off the merger is amazing to me.

    Another great video. Dad and I used to custom chop hay and corn in the early 70's out in Washington State. We put up dry chop alfalfa for a cubing plant and then 200,00 plus tons of corn silage in the fall for a big dairy and feed lot. Interesting way to double crop on this farm I never chopped any "wheatlage" before. Good concept. Thanks for your technical descriptions. Even an old farmer/Retired Truck Driver can learn something new.
  • Interresting to see and hear. Here in europe I should say that making the pile with wheelloaders is the most common way to do it. Thanks for another great video Mike!!

    Wow! Really nice equipment and semis too. Slick looking chrome trailers on those trucks as well. Thanks Mike. Awesome video and drone footage as always.
  • Nice to see a BRITISH machines over the pond.!😁! LOVE THE VIDS KEEP'EM COMING RICH(UK) 🥰🥰🥰.
  • Great video mike love the sound of that forager and that windrowers awesome more of this kind of action please definitely!!
  • Great awesome video mike, best time of year again , chopping silage
  • A tractor with a front hitch and PTO. Having to run over the hay driving part of it into the ground. Because the windrow can not be mounted on the front. A front mounted merger would provide cleaner more nutritious hay.
  • Old school technology with the hay buck to build pile. Operator knows how to move material. Thanks.

    That maize silage stack is a sight to behold. Probably ten times the size of ours. Whole lotta face exposed though but I guess they wanted to get it out of the way so they could build this stack

    Spent the last week chopping triticale silage here in south east Colorado. 102 degree temps today had the handrails on the tractors too hot to touch. Be glad when we’re done
  • @SimonKL11
    Great to see some chopping action👍

    Nice thing the windrow doesn’t seem to rope the wheatlage like a rake does. The forage harvester works better. Just a observation. Thanks Mike 😎
