As someone with a background in agriculture, I can attest to the game-changing impact of these machines. They're revolutionizing the way we farm.

My grandad built the first self-propelled chopper in the country. His model “G” JD didn’t have the power to suit him, so he mounted a 550 c u tank engine on the hitch, put a model “B” tri-cycle front end under the tongue, and a seat on it! He would have been amazed to see how these machines gobble up the corn! Thx Mike!

When the quality of the video is as good as yours the longer the better, stay safe and keep these awesome farm videos coming please!

Thanks for taking the time to make these video. My daughter and I have learned so much about tractors now.

Now it's time for learn something about combine's:) kzread.info/dash/bejne/fW1pppmscr2plLg.html

I like the long videos, thank you. Im older now, but back in the day I worked for Furman's Foods in central PA and these videos bring back memories, of course using different equipment. Take care and thanks again.

I used to watch a huge farm plot get combined, when I was a young teenager. I remember the stalks being thrown away and the corn kept. It looks as it the whole corn plant is used for this silage. I never knew that. Cool. I have to say that it's kind of satisfying to see the combine going through the lush field and mowing it down so slick and clean. Sweet operation.

By the way, that's not a combine, that happens to be a forage harvester which chops the stalks into silage.

Good video, I can almost smell it! They put up in 6 hours what we used to take 6 weeks to do. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Great video. I live in Greensburg and several years ago I visited this farm, and since I had a history in farming, I walked around with the owner and we talked about the farm operation. It was a great time for me a I really enjoyed talking with the boss. Quite an operation! Very impressive!!

I've got to say that I'm a Mike Less fan, I watch all you videos or as many as I can find and if I may say, rock on. Big tractor power is another favourite of mine. Keep up the good work.

*I'm a fan of your combine and silage videos! The diverse angles and footage are top-notch. Your content stands out with the best variety I've seen. It's truly enjoyable to watch and learn about the equipment and techniques. Keep up the fantastic work!* 🚜🎥🌾

Was great to meet you mike. All of us drivers are always very proud of this huge, efficient operation

nice to see the Fliegel Trailers build only 10 km or about 5 mails away from my home town in Germany nice to see them in other Countrys also.

Great video Mike !! I would like to see this whole farm, feeding, keeping and caring for the animals .. 👍💪

Another first CLAAS silage video!!!😉 Thanks a lot for showing! 😊👍🏻

Great job Mike! That's some excellent footage! 👍

The smell of silage reminds me of fall. Grew up around a feedlot and that smell always coincided with the start of school. I remember riding the school bus with the windows down and the silage trucks would sail past and that smell would fill the bus. Good memories.

My God that's a huge farm!! So many tractors and trailers o.O Fun to watch though, thanks for recording ;)

That's a serious operation😁👍 that silage pile is massive👍👍 Nice video😉👍

Something about the way the Forager turns a lush green field of mutant grass into a barren wasteland with a little hp left over is mesmerizing to watch. Amazing photography Mike.

Always enjoy your chopping footage, even year old, still great

I really enjoy the combine videos but these silage videos are my favorite. You get awesome footage from every angle. You have the best footage and variety of anyone else I've seen on here. Really fun to watch! I can spend hours just watching all the big equipment and think it's really interesting how each one does things and why.

???? How is silage corn different than table eating corn ???

@fbh31118

@@TheMilwaukieDan There basically the same in most regards. The only difference is that sweet corn is a hybrid that is bred for a sweeter taste. The other big difference is that sweet corn is harvested in it's 'milk stage' or sometimes referred to as 'high moisture corn. Hope this helps.

Great video. a few years ago I visited this farm. It was a wonderful time for me. Very impressive!!

Awesome video Mike! Man thats one heck of a farm!!

Love huge farms like this. The way that forage harvestor shoots the corn just wow

WOW! Great video, Mike!!!

Here in Oregon Willamette Valley we grow a wide variety of crops. Some of it is corn silage. I never seen how it’s accomplished though. One day the corn is there. The Baxter day it gone. At some point later I gave dairy products snd meat available. Thank you for feeding America

There's something about watching forage harvesters eating everything in sight so quickly that just mesmerizes!!!!! Love these videos!!!! Thanks Mike!! You rock for this. I needed this today.

Great Mike Less Video, thanks for sharing

Loved it Mike great video.

Hello from Mexico Mike Less you are the best

That was such a good video I could smell the silage.

Great video and fantastic music

Awesome! Where I was born..Our farm is 10 miles south of Greensburg, near Millhousen

Just a few Fliegl wagon herd😍😍

love the corn siliage vidoe,s mike keep them comming great as i did do that at 1 stage in my life but great mike

Great awesome video mike, biggest corn silage video ever

Great job, very very nice harvest.😃😃😃

I used to work for my Dad doing custom chopping back in the 70's. I've seen 100's of thousands of tons done but I've never seen a pile built like this.

Looking at the corn blowing from overhead, I was thinking your Mavic Pro has a pretty strong prop wash.

Couldn't help but to watch the entire video.

Wow, what a massive dairy farm

ahhh i still remember that sound of a Claas Jaguar forager chopping maize. Done thousnds of hours driving them. My neck still hurts from looking out that left side all day and night long.

Nice big flat fields, no mud, what the heck! To do that much silage is a monumental job, I know I help the very large dairy near me. Around 85,000tons, running 3 choppers, 5 tractor trailers and 7 straight trucks! One thing that caught my ear was them having a drivers meeting, I wish we would do that! Good work Mike!

Great video as always!!! I'm curious about how they take silage out as the open face would be more than 50 feet high.

They are great folks down there i live about 35 miles from them and use to deliver fuel and oil to them it is an amazing operation

Now I know what those piles covered in tarps and tires are. Lots of 'em in Pennsylvania. It's satisfying to watch the process.

Great video. Thanks 😊

Nice to see the JCB fastrac making a appearance. Don’t see many of them over in the states.

Great video!!

That farm doesnt look that big in person but man seeing your footage that place is huge, my wife even said the same thing. I remember Honda chopping all the corn and donating it to them when they bought the land to build the plant so they would have a stockpile to start out with as a welcome to Greensburg from a fellow new comer to Greensburg. I have a bucket list item to be able to drive a couple different types of those massive 4 wheel drive tractors like they use to pack the silage with.

Great drone shots...

What an incredible operation! That is a lot of activity going on and the corn started pretty green but was getting pretty dry by the time they were wrapping up. I have to agree with you o the way they build that pile. Minimal moving of silage, the wagons just drive in and never stop and back up, they are not pushing the edge of the blade into the pile but getting a nice even spread across the blade with each push making it a nice even spread on the pile. Nobody was in anybody's way. There is not an unsafe activity, i.e. not backing up where they cannot see, not an edge of the pile with a steep slope that is unsafe, lots of space for each to work. It makes a lot of sense.

Does the farm leave any corn to combine it for grain ? Thanks Mike for your great videos . And Thanks for also showing the pile of silage .

Nice video, specially in night time :)

wow lovely .. this work in very impressive . we dont know when can we be doing husbandry like the way you guys are doing ,,,, wow lovely and ,, even im engaged in farming life of animal husbandry. keep on supporting and sugesting us.

Thats some nice team work

Great Video! Why do they use twintyres only on the rear axle?

I am a trivia nerd. I love details. Thanks for saying the pile had 80,000 tons but in future videos please tell how many total acres, how many acres per hour they harvest, how many tons her hour, etc. Great video.

Selling silage is a great business opportunity! The machine cleans the fields, and the only lost cost that I can think of is the manure and chemicals for growing. Other than that, EASY MONEY!!!

My goodness that farm sure is big!

Oh yeah good cup of coffee and snacks and I'm good to go I was curious how fast are the choppers are running great video and keep up the great work

Hey! Interesting video. I'm wondering why are the packing the corn with the tractor? I'm not from USA, I'm from Sweden....so, at home we uses a packning machine for roads, it's like a big cylinder with a vibrator machine in the machine for packing the roads. So we can uses a smaller tractor that don't cost so much in fuel capacity? I might spell something wrong, hope you understand 😅 love to see how it works in the US!

Nice Mike...... don't see many JCB tractors around....!!!

Do they cover those giant piles of silage with tarps after a period of drying?

Woo i wonder how many cows you milk up in here, beautiful farm, i work in the biggest dairy in connecticut. I love farming

Do you plan to get any footage with the farm operation? I will be curious to see how big is the mixer that they use to feed the cows and other equipment that they have for daily activities.

love it x

That 8300 is such a great looking tractor. 160,000,000 lbs of corn.......that' a lot of corn! Maybe you said and I missed it, but do you know the total number of acres it took to make all that corn?

How do you get the rest of the corn out of the ground. Those roots really grab on.

All the land must be close to the dairy im assuming since they are using all them pull boxes????

Это лучше любого сериала )!!

On packing ground silo didn’t I see a BIG BRUTE with 8 tires front and 8 in back and were they the biggest tires made if so they would pack a sili

Machines are a great friend to man

Loving the content. Please indicate size of farms. Wouldn't mind just a tard bit more commentary with some details on the farms. Great content all the same!

They ought use the same wheel configuration as what they use in garbage dumps for compacting the silage .

I’m curious, since they shredded everything into pieces, what do they use all that shredded corns for?

How hard is it to drive that combine and steer that chute?

Mike, I love watching your videos very informative. Mike I would like to get one of your farm hats.How can I get one?

What a view...

looks like the CIH and JCB tractors have the faster hydrualics with the JCB having a slight edge. The John Deere's appear to take a little longer. Not a dig at all just an observation I love these silage videos see you at the national farm machinery show 2022 Mike.

@@coreysandness2529 Figured since we were both interested I'd do some digging and these are specs a pulled from tractordatabase.com. JD 8120 has a 37 gallon capacity, and flows at 33.5 gpm and 2900 psi max pressure. A CIH magnum 275 has a capacity of 45.5 gallons and flows at 44 gpm but they have a 59 gpm option as well as a twin flow pump option that flows 75gpms, they didn't however have the max pressure listed. Finally and I kind of guessed at the model number but the specs on a JCB 8330 is 39.6 gallon capacity and flow rate of 36.2 gpm or 47 gpm depending on the option and a max pressure of 3045psi. Would really like to try one of those JCB's on my hay roller just to see how it rides. All that said they were several minutes at the beginning and end where the CIH and JD were pulling tri-axle wagons together.

How long does that 80,000 ton of silage last the dairy cows?

Awesome set up, awesome video!!!! I bet those choppers are pretty ffffff...fpppp..phased out by the time the owners turn them in!!!.. They get caned to hell!👍

So what do they covered the heap with?
