I got the call yesterday afternoon that the custom silage harvesting guy would be here this morning.
So the race was on to this morning at about 9. He brings the chopper, 4 wagons and the bagger. We provide 5 tractors and drivers.
There isnt much silage chopped around yet. I plant some early maturing corn so we can get his out of the way. Corn is much higher tonnage than last year.
This is a once a year project for us and I think we all look forward to it.
This is a kelly ryan bagger with a 9 foot tunnel. Takes a pretty decent tractor to run it. The 8920 handles it with ease. We usually stick someone in the seat just to make life easier for the guy running the bagger.
This is a JD 7200 with a folding 6 row head. It can harvest alot of tonnage in a hurry and I am told it is a small chopper actually.
This is the last load. We got done about 3 this afternoon. Things clicked along pretty well on a warm sunny day.
This is the final product. 3 9 foot by 135 foot bags. Should be close to 400 tons of silage.
It was a long day for wrigley. He spent most of the day riding around with my dad. He is totally wore out and sleeping very soundly on the floor. Its a good job done and done well. bill
