Finished corn silage

We finished corn silage yesterday. Me and the wife made a 7x200 silage bag yesterday and had filled the 14x40 last Friday and Sat. The corn way goosenecked from an early summer wind storm and after getting opened up good we chopped most of it one direction. The yield was good but the field is very messy with down corn. I ran the 4020 with a 35 chopper and 2 row head this year. Usually chop with one row. I could pull it in second but was working it hard so I ended up chopping in first. Made for a slow day but the wife could keep up good unloading. We chopped 8 acres and filled the bag and most of 14x40 silo. My guess is around 25 tons to the acre. On Friday a friend came down with his drone and filmed my chopper collection. He is going to give me pics sometime and I will post them. All the old choppers worked except for the IH 550. It just would not feed corn in. It would cut it off and then it would pile up in front of the feed rolls and either feed in in a slug or just pile up in the head. Tom
