thanks

helped a bit to have an eye in the sky...thanks though

yep i have 100 ish acres we will chop and pile. Its not this tall though

I have very good sudangrass hybrid and sorghum silage hybrids that yield like this but only 10-15 lbs/acre seed rate. aerc.ca

How TALL can it grow?

What kind of fertilizer inputs?

lol it was great... i think ill have to film more cutting of this stuff people seem to like it

@@tedkahler9738 still waiting! :D

i did... that was great

that would have been interesting

@@tedkahler9738 it was, I kept getting lost!!!! Couldn't see too many trees along the edge to follow. We used to cut 8+ acres/hour with that, after four hours in a 16 acre field my dad came to find out what was going on... I probably only had about four acres down, he couldn't believe it was that tall!!! About 6' is all we had ever had before, or since..

thanks

Yes. The answer is yes.

Lmao

thanks everyone!

yea it is some crazy stuff

she says thanks....

haha

no problem

I think this well have to lay a bit longer than a week

@@tedkahler9738 we cut ours at 6 ft but it's hotter here in tn but cows sure like it

just put a tv out side in their pen and put it on my channel

Thanks for comming along from across the pond...

thanks

A lot of people mistake Sudan as corn.

similar plant structure

nice

yea... more natural feeling

I love that job wish son day iff have job for my plese contacme mail carias32snur@gmail.com

i have planted this for quite a while. Generally chop it but it will make some great feed in a round bale too...

Yes I agree

harvest is always long and stressful. Too much to do not enough time

Well it's not necessarily fun

"as welcome to the jungle" song plays in my head LOLOL

Looks like elephant grass alright

Fill the land with smoke let the people know my wisdom.

yea it takes some time to dry ... and a pretty good machine to cut it as well

I have noticed that some... The new Holland doesn't run a top shield but when its windy i adjust it to it doesnt throw it that high cause the wind can cause problems but if feel it fluffs the windrow more when its flying

Isnt this a roller conditioner instead of a finger conditioner

Valtra 6400 yess it is a roller conditioner

That's what I really was noticing too! Holy shit it's throwing it way back there!! Cutting really clean too for the amount of material going thru it.

very tall

We have some pretty good dirt for this crop. I have some other stuff i plant but its shorter ... was planted later though but is way more leafy. So even thought how tall it is is impressive sometimes you have to step back and really look at the end result lol

@@tedkahler9738 Grandpa and Dad used to plant a lot of haygrazer... Grandpa liked to plant it super-thick because if you do it that way and cut it when it's about waist high, it's almost ALL LEAF and therefore VERY nutritious for the cows PLUS it's SO much easier to dry, which was important to him because back in the day all they had to cut it with was a Ford 501 sickle mower-- no conditioner! Stuff gets thick as hair on a dog's back but it SURE makes pretty hay! Now for maximum tonnage, yeah you want to cut it right when it boots out for maximum quality at maximum tonnage-- after it heads out it starts turning to wood fairly quickly, so boot stage is really the ideal time to cut for max tonnage yields. Of course when it gets 8-10 feet tall there's a LOT of stalk in it and those stalks take a long time to dry, even if they're conditioned, but even more so if it's just straight cut with no conditioner. Planting it really thick of course increases the seed cost, BUT when you cut it at waist to maybe chest high and it's all leaf, the stems will only be about the size of a pencil or maybe a touch bigger maybe like your little finger, not big or bigger than your thumb like when you cut it at 8+ feet tall... Later! OL J R :)

thanks for watching.... its been a great machine

yea it was pretty cool

naww... just watch enough videos and you can see what i have

LOL sure

But uhmmm

Reckon I only heard it twice.. that's a quite night on it.

500 ml shots will do the job anyways XD

seems to do the job

@@tedkahler9738 why do you have no mower in the Front?

tractor here very seldom have a hitch or pto on the front.

@@tedkahler9738 Ok, here in Germany, almost every one has an Front Mower

Jojo yea I wish they were more commen here but I have only seen 2 of them my whole life

thats nice

thanks

Like, the camera? I think youtube does that when they render the video before it gets posted.

@@f-j-Services It's a joke.

@@TheMetalButcher Oh lol! To me it seemed like the video has been compressed though in parts of it.

yep

Yea maybe……

yea things has changed alot even in just a few years!

kinda looks the same

This stuff isnt as sweet tasting as some of the kinds... but i think it will be good feed either way it ends up

We are going so far to

LOL YEP

Thanks

The rollers weigh several hundred pounds each and take a lot of energy to get up to speed.

tractor is tuned some so it just smokes when you speed up the engine

@@tedkahler9738 oh, understand, thanks. I thinked it is because clutch must "start" pump or something :-)

chopping id assume?

Yeah you bet

yea i seen that ... i think its just getting pushed ahead of the hood then goes through in wads but not really sure

I was waiting for someone to say that. I believe you can't see the back of the mower from where you're sitting in the tractor because of how tall the crop in fact you're were telling us about it clogging as it was clogging again, lol. I think that tractor has enough horsepower and that's a nice enough mower that it was taking care of it itself. You can also see the crop being pushed by the mower in the front of it. That is one heck of a good yield for that crop I think you were very smart for planting it. Nice set up 👌 too. Thanks for sharing!

Normally dont farm in small strips but this was intend for the cows just to graze after i cut it when grazing the corn stubble in the winter months Trying to spend less on feed but still provide enough nutrients to cows when its cold out

IF i bale it it will be throwed into a tmr and be fed to everything. We feed everthing tmr when feeding EXCEPT when catttle are out on corn stalks and we want to supplement them some feed... then we will unroll bales. But everthing we feed gets tested and have a nutritionist make a balanced ration

LOL i could have but it was nice to see the tops

thanks

It bunches some when. The stuff is that tall. I put lifters on and it helped that issue

thanks

inter planting things in our cain just wont work for us.... generally when i plant a field with cain its one of more weedy fields. and with having resistant weed problems all the way around us i cant afford not to use some pree emerge herbicides so that cuts out planting any broad leave plants along with it

i could BUT......

LOL kinda

haha

yea pry should have i coulda been rich over that deal

thanks

nice nice

Por que no esta haciendo buen trabajo???

english? but it seems to be doing a great job for me/

im doing a fine job as well as the mower!

you bet

Joshua Smith forage sorghum is real name. Was experimenting with narrow strip in the middle of a corn field to help with the nutrient needs of our cattle when they are grazing the corn stalks in the winter

@@tedkahler9738 ohh ok thanks. Yeah I figured you had a reason for it. Makes sense. Thanks for replying

Sudan grass*

yes it is

HAHAH

MrPummi88 it picks it all up when you go the other way..... most tractors in this area have no attachment or pto on the front

14 days in perfect world but one thing about baling dry cain is you just dont worry about it for a while... might get rained on... snowed on... have baled some in march that tested the same quality as the stuff we baled in the fall... If it lays a month so be it... just cant get in a hurry

does a good job

Well thanks for watching it here... i will try to get some more drone footage of cutting more of this stuff

yes they do

better get some sea legs

yes it does

The bales weather fine.... and i dont want to have several thousand bales in one spot at the same time.... seems like a good way to loose all your hay if a fire breaks out!

yep yep

No front pto's here as well as no front 3 points

That's when you hook one up to the back and drive backwards...

most of the tractors in the usa do not have front hitches or pto's so there few and far between here...

thanks

thankyou

sorghum sudan

its not chocking because of the rollers its actually getting slowed down by the front of the machine trying to push it down.... they are v style steel rollers

well thanks

pry 3-6 ton

seeding rate was 20 pounds per acre.... and it was some sort of sorghum sudan cross... i just walked into the local seed place and said i need some cheep seed and this is what i walked out with. I never even looked at the tag. planted at the end of june

mostly on my own...

Would you be able to get it to dry thought ?

that would be slow going....lol

our cows ate it

colt191169 I sure can !!! Thanks for stopping by

thanks i like when people talk durring videos

thankyou

half mile

we test all the feed that is fed at our farm/ranch i prefer not to just piss into the wind i like to know my animals are getting exactly what they need for nutrition

That's your M.O. Elm, pissing in the wind and pissing off fellow farmers. And I guess crying and complaining and claiming to be a victim. I could add more but I'll be nice this morning.

@@jrice1091 butt hurt is back AGIAN lol

Alta Seed is a good one. King Fisher has some called Sugar Pro 55. I planted it this year vs. another variety that I had planted last year. It did good. Some chop it I did baleage with mine last year I tried to dry it this year and basically ruined my crop from all the rain. Luckily it was cut early enough to make second cut on it. Will go into baleage for sure this time.

Ted Kahler so then what is the protein level maybe somebody on here wants to plant some to feed to their cattle.

it was channel brand

Yea.... crazy crazy

maybe... but maybe just plugg radiator

thanks

this stuff is crazy

I did bale some of it and some of it we left and the cows ate it off the ground

@@tedkahler9738 did it bail pretty good and about how many bills did you get out of it considering you left some for the cows

L & M adventure it bales decent but had to lay 3-4 weeks. Got around 6-8 dry ton an acre on what I baled

come on now.... there is only about 6 cans... and if you can get me 50 cents a can ill spit it with ya and i have a place i know where there is alot of cans

that is a forage sorghum never heard of biomass type

@@tedkahler9738 There are different types of sorghum. One is for grain (most grown), there is one which is for syrup and one which is biomass sorghum, the biggest one grows over 4 m www.google.com/search?q=biomass+sorghum&rlz=1C1SQJL_enAU786AU786&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic1Lzc6sPjAhXn7nMBHV-1AFIQ_AUIESgB&biw=1366&bih=657 And remember sorghum is a drought tolerant C4 plant.

in the usa there are VERY FEW tractors with front hitches and even less implements for the front

Somehow doubt a front mower would handle it either!

it wouldn't pick up what was ran over
