Chopping & Bagging Corn Silage near Lancaster Pennsylvania
In this video I am out at a family dairy farm near Strasburg Pennsylvania as they are having a custom crew chop and bag corn silage for their dairy herd.
Several different machines in this video.
Claas Jaguar 870 self propelled forage harvester
Case IH 8950 Magnum Tractor pulling an Artsway forage box
Case IH 7140 Magnum Tractor pulling an Artsway forage box
John Deere 4840 Tractor pulling a Miller Pro forage box
And a Deutz Fahr 9340 Warrior Tractor hooked to a Versa Silage Bagger. The Deutz Fahr 9340 Tractor was sold by Iron Advantage from East Earl Pennsylvania and I was out here with them for this video.
I recorded this video in October of 2023.

It was really cool to watch them finish and then start a bag. Those old Case tractors were so good looking, especially compared to the things they are putting out today at Case.

Beautiful farming country. I've been in that area several times over the years. The folks take a lot of pride in their farms. Land is scarce and expensive, so they utilize every available acre. Interesting to see how they set up and complete a bag.

Thank you Mike for another great video .I never get tired of watching your videos glad to see you came to Lancaster County pa glad to see the bagging machine in action in this video . I always loved filling those silage bags silage smells so good when it is totally fermented after 21 days . My aunt used to fill 8 x200 ft bag . In somerset County PA when she had the dairy cows 🐄 . I miss those days so much . Again mike thank you for all the work you do to put these videos together .

Jesse at Restoration Tractor sales sold us that 8950 (7250 pro) probably back around 2014? and we sold it last spring when we reduced the tractor herd after switching to beef/crops from our previous entity

Some farmers use those bags for grain storage also, only negative is deer and racoons, etc will tear holes in them to get to the grain. LOL They give you glue on patches to do repairs to keep water from getting into the grain and rotting it. Love those Claas choppers, they really do a nice job. Thanks Mike !

Very interesting video, Mike, especially showing how they start a new bag. I never saw bags like this before watching farming videos. We didn't use them in northeast Indiana where I helped farm back in the 60's. I chisel plowed with a JD 4840 back in the 80's. I certainly enjoy your videos, especially the drone footage!😊

Hey mike, just talked to my dad, you came to arcanum high school not that long ago and I had no idea you were my neighbor 😂 I lived right next door on butler township road I think it was called, can’t believe I didn’t know it was you. Congrats on everything man. I used to go behind your shed and look at all the deer skulls.

Our ID900N Versa Bagger uses our exclusive Density Belt System. No need for heavy backstops or long, dangerous cables.

Hey Mike what do they do with the plastic bags when they're emptied? Seems expensive and wasteful if they just go to a landfill. It seems like it would eventually be more economical to put up another silo not to mention a lot of hand labor just setting up the bagger.

@farmhandmike 2 ай бұрын

I think the plastic on these gets recycled. Bagging silage like this give it a better feed value than an upright silo and upright silos are slow unloading, can be labor intense at times and the unloaders need maintenance. Also the gas let off in an upright silo can be very dangerous. There is a reason lots of guys got away from filling the upright silos.

What was the field with all the white poles or pipes sticking up in it between the corn and the bag?

I'm guessing those are small trees and just being protected with plastic around them.
