Bagging corn silage on a beautiful day in upstate New York. Bagging with a John Deere 4040 and a Roto-Press bagger.

Haylage silo full, corn silo and two bags full. Just need your hi moisture corn and your beans combined and your harvest will be wrapped up. Stay after it. Amazing what you can get done if you get the weatherman to.cooperate.

Definitely a good crop year. Yeah I think I have a better chance of winning the lottery then having the weatherman cooperate!

Interesting video, nice explanation of the filling bag process. I get the wanting the silage at the right moisture for the seal store. Back when we fed high moisture corn out it the Harvestore, you didn’t want it much over 22%. Any wetter and you’d get some very nice water coming out when you ran corn out.

Interesting to watch a bagger work. We never bagged as we really don't have a great place to put a bag without making a great muddy mess. I'm familiar with Itty Bitty Farms. They produce nice stuff. I've gotten soaps as Christmas gifts for my mother and sister.

Pro tip, Bungie cord on steering wheel on the bagger tractor helps keep it going straighter for longer, still have to keep an eye on it if there is internal leaking in the steering ;)

Thank you Richard. It will probably be a little bit before we start feeding out of the bag. Here is a video I did a year or 2 ago feeding out of the agbag. Hope you enjoy... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fsBpktN5savXnYk.html

May I suggest the next time someone is milling a road or parking lot that you try and get every load you can. They make a great and cheap pad to put the bags on and keeps you from mudding during the winter

Once you get all set up and get rolling bagging actually goes by pretty quick. I enjoy bagging. Also it means we have more silage then the silo can hold which is a good thing

@clinthochrein888 2 жыл бұрын

I like the “extension arm” for the pto lever. We tried bagging hayleage once end result was lot of mold spores from not packing in tight. The guy that brought it over never told dad we needed a high horse power tractor. We had the Massey Ferguson on the chopper an on the ag badger which is a 80 or 85 hp. Had it running at full power.

Great job Mike! With the bags don't you have to let the gasses escape for a period of time before sealing it up? One of the few things I never got to do on the farm was silage.

@mikep7810 2 жыл бұрын

I have heard that. In the past I just sealed it up the night I got done bagging. Never had an issue. I posted a video a few years ago and everyone yelled at me for not waiting for the gasses to escape. My buddy does the same thing I use to do. He sealed it up as soon as he filled it and never had an issue either

Do you get any spoilage? I always wondered if they were better

@mikep7810 2 жыл бұрын

You get some. You gotta make sure its sealed up really good and packed pretty tight and spoilage will be a minimum. We had 1 year where the birds pecked holes all in the top of the bag so we got a lot of spoilage that year and another year we had animals digging into the side of the bag. As soon as air gets to a spot there will be spoilage there
