Unloading at the Blower 2009

[sammydwm]

at the farm we had a Allis 7000 diesel blowing smoke and a case international 5888 on the chopper box the Allis on the blower let me tell you some thing even though that was 2 years ago i still remember about it like it was yesterday

[MrDwayne1234]

[darkninetailedfox]

Allis Chalmers were the best tractor out there but they were to far ahead of their time and were bought out

[farmingpower1066]

I see the wagon is from empire tractor i like them ole fords u got we used to have two 7710s

[generationll]

grew up near many dairy farms who did exactly this

[darkninetailedfox]

we also have a new Holland 8 and a Dion

[darkninetailedfox]

yup it is better than forking sailage

[darkninetailedfox]

we have a gehl 980 and when we were unloading the bottom beater snap of and almost went in the blower

[salamander27001]

we have a pair of dion wagons that are constantly snapping the chains. never into the blower thankfully, but forking out a load of silage is never fun either.

[jasonmushersee]

@salamander27001 I put a aluminum grain shovel through the silo blower. Scared the hell out of me. Those Gehl 980's have a design flaw. Silage water rots out the beater from the inside out. :(

[salamander27001]

@jasonmushersee I've been lucky enough never to have put anything larger than a bolt through it, knock-on-wood...

[nothinsinkslikeadeer]

@jasonmushersee We sent a log chain threw a IH 56 blower and totally wrecked it, the old TW-15 Ford blew one hell of a smoke ring and then the shear pins broke and the blower was alll done! she never blew another load of silage after that one

[salamander27001]

@nothinsinkslikeadeer Rough! I wish we had a TW to blow with. I ran a TW-15 maroon special on a CaseIH 8370 Swing for a summer, but we've never owned one.

[darkninetailedfox]

we use a an old d-17 and unload with a 185 or a different d-17 all alis with a 27 new holland blower

[salamander27001]

we have a neighbor who restores a-c's for use on his dairy, beautiful machines. it's too bad the company didn't make it, they seem like a decent tractor.

not bad lot of blue how many u milkin

[salamander27001]

at one time we were up to 75, but right now 45. selling the milkers in april.

[9proctor]

I love your videos can you post one of you milking your cows

[salamander27001]

once blown into the silo, it will be allowed to ferment for about two weeks. after that it is fed to our dairy cows as part of a TMR(total mixed ration), along with haylage, corn meal, soy protein, and minerals.

Hi, I am from Mexico and I am new with the corn silage precedure, I started today to cut my cornsilge, I dont have a Silo, I am using a bunker, should I alow 2 week for fermentation? or do I need more time because is in bunker,

Thanks.

[salamander27001]

if you need it for feed, then it ferments as you go, otherwise after you cover it, let it sit a couple weeks. that should be plenty

[Jinete28]

thanks.
