Finished chopping silage

tomstractorsandtoys · Nov 4, 2020

Started on Sat afternoon and on Mon and Tue made a 7x200 silage bag of sorghum silage. Working alone so I would chop three loads and then stop and unload. The field was on the back of the farm and had to follow a poor field lane thru the pasture. Took about an hour per load. Did get the Allis Chalmers 780 chopper out and the IH 550 chopper. They both worked great. Sorghum yielded about 15 tons to the acre. It should make some great feed for my beef cows this winter. Planted rye in the field today as well as baled 75 round bales of corn stalks. Tom

I don’t know anything about how hard a chopper pulls. Have never been around that type of field work. The 2510 was obviously up to the task.

Nice. I always loved corn cutting time

The 2510 has a 219 engine in it making it a 2520. I did chop most of it with the 4020 but the 2510 had enough power to chop in third. Tom

I was helping my neighbors one time. The ground was soft and I was pushing the dump wagon on the uphill side. We had made three loads since I had been helping and there was still three hours of daylight left when one of them said to the other, "well that makes six loads, best day we've had this year. Time to quit."
