Chopping Corn Silage & Filling Silo with Massey Ferguson Tractors
Corn Silage video from a family dairy farm I just visited in Southern Mercer County Ohio. In this video they are chopping corn silage and filling silo for their dairy cow herd. This Farm runs Massey Ferguson Tractor and in this video the tractors are.
Massey Ferguson 8732 Tractor pulling a Dion 2430 forage harvester
Massey Ferguson 7495 Tractor hooked to a Dion Silage blower
Massey Ferguson 6616 Tractor pulling H&S Forage Boxes
Massey Ferguson 5475 Tractor pulling H&S Forage Boxes
The Dion pull type forage harvester in this video has a rotary corn head that can take a 10 foot wide cut or four 30" rows of corn per pass.

    Nice to see some farms run all masseys. My farm has masseys to but they're a lot older. Got a 1080 and a 285 as the big guys. A 65 as the daily driver for putting out round bales and my dad just bought a 270 loader 2 years ago

    Brings back a lot of memories when I was teenager. Although I was pulling those wagons with an old Massey 285, and no self-hitching. Held on tight and prayed a-lot in hill country.

    Kinda Sad Gehl had to get out of Ag, but understandable. Dad always wished we could have had a 600->750 (small) Gehl chopper in the day. Years later I got to run a 750 with our old Deutz 68-06 after it was sold to a relative. Damn good choppers!! Dion makes some nice stuff! Uncle had 2 Dion forage boxes. 16' and a 20' with the auger in front. Very nice wagons.

    Great video Mike. One of the jobs I enjoyed the most was, chopping 12’+ corn through a harvester. My experience was with 2 row 718 New Holland with a 180 A/C. It’s been 25 years now. Just the sound takes me back. Thank you for the moment of nostalgia.

    Mike I always enjoy everyone of your videos.i never get tired of watching them even if they were from year or two ago .I always loved this time of the year chopping corn silage and filling silo or again bags. Especially when my aunt had the dairy farm .but unfortunately she passed now 10 years ago and the farm was sold . And yes miss those days wished I could go back to those days when I would chop corn silage and smell that fresh cut corn silage. And yes I do miss the dairy cows to as well . Just wanted to say thank you very much for all the hard work you put into your videos. Really would love to meet you in person some time. Lord willing that is. Keep up the good work and again thank . GOD BLESS

    One of my neighbors back home runs a small dairy and and quite a bit of custom hay. He has two of those 6 series masseys, he swears by them. Uses them to mow and bale with his NH stuff. I also know a feedlot guy that switched from 8rts to Massey 8 series for his kinze planters. Feels like agco has been growing a lot in the past decade

    Great video Mike, I love the whine of a trailed precision chopper running at maximum capacity. Reminds me of when I was a kid in Northern UK with a NH 717 and 719. Nice to see that not all farms are now running huge self propelled, or using custom contractors, and doing it themselves with reasonable sized equipment, instead.

    Yes it is Dairy Bros Apparently KZread removed the videos because the boys we’re working on the farm and YT said it was dangerous. They said they disputed but nothing happened. This makes no sense to me as they are just good farm kids and not that young. They aren’t doing anything different than any other farm kid those ages.

    That's sad! I started running tractors and machinery at 7 years old. By today's standard I guess my dad was irresponsible 😅 and me with my son when he was younger. If you don't teach them young they'll never learn anything, especially a good work ethic. Thanks for the update Mike and hope you have a great day! Give those boys some encouragement and let them know that there are a few people still needing to see some Massey videos!

    Like everyone else in the comments section of this video, it is great to watch. I do have a 'hang up' about vertical silos however. To me those silo ladders along the loading pipe is not at all safe. When near the top of the silo all's a guy has is those rungs to stand on. What if it's a rainy and windy day and the farmer has to climb to the top of the silo? I mean one wrong slip and it's bye bye. I feel that there should be some type of elevator idea, like an enclosed box to ride up in. Just my opinion. At any rate thanks for showing.

    Farming is a dangerous occupation for sure. Most of the time though the silo is accessed through the chute. Probably wouldn’t be climbing the outside on a wet day.

    Love video Mike I am a huge MASSEY FERGUSON fan & an anti deere john guy I am a very proud owner of some old MASSEY FERGUSON tractors an 1150 V8 Perkins powered ag tractor as well as some other models too. I also like the old white & orange case tractors. Not the new case international models. MASSEY FERGUSONs are the only REAL RED farm tractors. No green & yellow here. JDs are thee most overated tractors on the market period because deere johns combines are always literally burning down they use too much plastic on there equipment that's why they are more prone to burning down to nothing. NOTHING FALLS APART LIKE A DEERE.
