A couple weeks ago I got to watch a JD chopper 8 row at 6-7 MPH. I got to thinking about when dad got the neighbor with his two row, and how we thought there was finaly the HP and big equipment, had went to far. I seen the JD operator boo boo, and miss the semi for a second or two--wow alot of feed on the ground in a big hurry.

When they chop hay, they pull 80 ft in to a windrow, and still chop at 6-7 MPH. You should drive across the field at a 90 degree angle. that big equipment sure makes ruts in the soft hay field.

Our corn silage is realy pumping out the volume, but the corn is very wet compared to other years is he story I hear in this part of the woods.

Also the farmer said it took 70 acres less this year compared to other years to fill his bunker silos.
 
where you at in WI? at work we started late last week but came to a halt on saturday due to brake-downs then yesterday and today because of rain and such.

Oh my god, someone is sitting on a fender!! The safety police will soon be out to chew your butt. Seriously though I love the pictures, I miss chopping corn, used to have a silo at the old farm. Now its strictly hay.
 
Mark - Thanks for posting the pictures - I was wondering what the trees were looking like up there. Our place is 7.5 miles east of Viroqua, between Readstown and Viroqua. Miss not being up there.
 
Wish I was chopping here. Still waiting to get the engine back so I can put it back in our 1855. If we don't get it soon, we're probably gonna end up renting the 986 again just to get going on it. Hoping not, I'm just not too fond of it and I end up being sore after driving that one. Plus it isn't set up for the electric spout control (early 90's S10 drivers side window motor) we've got rigged up, so it's eaither fill the wagons to the gills, or not at all. No inbetween...

That Gehl must really suck the corn in, I see all the stalks are leaned opposite the direction you are cutting. Ours all lean the direction you are going.

Actually the corn is leaning the right way going that way in the field it's the other way that the corn leans away from the chopper and into the tractor tires so you run over more than you chop :? Gehl has a belts as gathering chains on their heads! I tell you what those work pretty darn slick. Like you were saying it just sucks the corn right in! :wink:
