Great job on the video. It takes a village to run a great farm. Be safe 🙏❤.
Nice hay. Did the pto start going out on the 4430?
Hey Kip, I love the voice over with the music The video actually turned out really good.
Good video , enjoyed the narration.
Premium feed going in the silo.
Always a great video.
Good job Kip
Not a thing wrong with a voiceover vid, Kip. Just fine!!
Nice working families
Loved the video with the music. Be safe
Nice to see you
Should put a decent size piece of bunker plastic or tarp on the ground in front of blower so can cleanly shovel up the spilled feed while filling without collecting so many pebbles.
Another great video Kip! Really enjoy watching get the hay in the silo.
Great video even without the sound You really come close to getting your hand caught in the new cable Stay safe and come back whole
Hi are you a video was awesome and you tell the talking in the background that was super I enjoyed your videos I'm a 70-year-old farmer from Northeast Iowa keep up the good work be safe around farm equipment John your chopper boxes make sure you got all the shields change everything check over because you're around that shop a box to the front for you know it you got one arm off I know I was working for a neighbor he has three John Deere chopper box with chopping the bunker and the bunker I had a pioneer jacket on I put a sweater and the sweatshirt and a shirt my neighbor didn't have no shoes on all three boxes no more the telescope goes over the PTO chap all three boxes with missing we had I guess it went in the bunker my jacket got wrapped up in the PTO and I wrap between the tongue and the shaft and I don't know how I got free but all my clothes will take it off my back pull my shoulder out of socket I was just staying on there there that ground down to the maybone and took all my muscles off that is this green strap for my legs and my shoulder arm had a busted bones over my arm I still have my arm but I can't bend my arm I can't rotate my arm I was in Rochester Minnesota St Mary's for three and a half months plus 400,000 but the hospital and doctor bills my neighbor 300,000 my lawyer worked with the hospital remember it took a long time to get it to balance of pay question nowadays how much farm insurance you got to have an employees that's a good question I live 100 miles from Rochester they charge $1,200 for 15 minutes helicopter ride yeah I realize this happened 92 can you imagine what happened today if you have a million dollars they will not cover this the bills is outrageous one farmer another farmer be safe I can see you got a lot of employees but your nephews working around there and everybody got busy and your concentrate and one job on the farm and forget about the other they got to be done but always remember to be safe that's so easy to get hurt take care of yourself
How does your 5065e pull those wagons but my uncles 5410 couldn’t it is the exact same tractor setup but the 5410 is a bit bigger
Go ring drive when that unloader fails
I would recommend perhaps putting a paint line on the winch cable where you need to stop it. That what you can see it coming down when your raising the unloader
Nice looking feed Kip . Good to see a good running family farm ! 👍👍
Nice to see someone else has a pull type cutter!! We cut our own haylage and corn silage with a pull type. Looks just like yours!!
Really great video love all the John Deere. From watching your videos you are blessed with a great family. I hope the rest of the harvest goes well looking forward to seeing more. Best of luck to Lance at college.
I think the background music and vocal commentary is good if not better than the sound usually in these vids
Thanks for another great video Kip. It was interesting and enjoyable.
No problem on the video as far as voice.
Matter of fact I thought your narration was interesting and most enjoyable. Thanks for doing that. Job well done.
Brothers. Saw a little more of Greg I believe you said. His beard is just like yours. That is brothers. I try my best to identify your family but sometimes hard to remember them all. Now I may have this wrong but I believe you said you and one sister and two or three brothers. Sometime give us that rundown again.
Nice to see the younger family members pitching in. Your family is great Kip.
Filling silos. Lots of memories there. We did not have one but our neighbor did. He had me help a lot at haying time. Was interesting work. He feed beef cattle.
I find your milking operation real interesting. Never been around one before. You explain a lot and is appreciated.
Thanks for going over tractors. I think on your blower you just needed more horsepower. Agree with you on that. The process of cutting and blowing and filling silos is interesting. You have yours down to a science. You go right too it and make it work.
Silo unloading equipment can be hard to keep in adjustment. You got your running good. Nice work Kip.
You have a great line of green tractors to do the job with. All with good hours and nice condition.
About it for now. You all take care and be safe.
Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for everything Kip.
The Iowa farm boy.
Steve.
Great video the narrative was very informative. Learned something new. Take care and be safe. Greg
5:34 Paint your cable and the side of the silo. Won't keep you from putting a guy up top to monitor progress, but is sure helps having two guys watching. Or if you are confident in the equipment you only need one guy.
Rock star
Do you guys ever use inoculant when you guys chop haylage
Great video even without sound. Thank you.
What part of Michigan are you in? We milk in Ontario. Crops look good there!
Narration was GREAT! Kip… Love watching and learning….
Love your videos, God bless
As with the calving famers are constantly multitasking either physically or in your mind. We always added water even if the silage was not dry and we felt it helped pack to make a better ensiled product. Thanks Kip and so happy your family got closer because when my dad past my sisters were evil.
It sure is great to have the help you have!! You've got a great crew with the family help and all others. You are blessed! To really appreciate the Creation I always like to say that the precious soil and the cows do all the work. You'all just gotta take good care of them, and you certainly do!! God bless all!
You have a great group of hands the look on their face says the are enjoying the work can’t say as I blame them my heart is a lost displaced farmer stay safe my friends
The only way cows drink 65% less water is if you give them 65% water. They are not Democrats and they are not on a diet. And Michigan has more than enough precipitation. Love you anyway.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Narration is fine. You just need to add Varoom, varoom for the tractor engine. Thanks for bringing us along. Really love the views of your operation. An old farmer at heart.
Great video.. thank you for sharing.. they bring back memories from long ago..I still smell the hayage and the barns..lol. we had pop shower down here in lower Michigan too. We used a 4640 on the blower the 4630 seem to plug on us. Just that little extra horse power made a world of difference.
why not paint a line on the cable and a line on the side of the silo when they line up your unloader is at the top?
i enjoy your video
Great job narrating kip. Hope you had a great harvest.
Love your content /work ethic…
So why do you still us silo's?
Used a JD 4230 with a New Holland blower as the blower tractor rig for 25+ years. Curious why the 4430 did not perform… perhaps the hydraulic pump is failing.
First video I’ve seen that shows what did for years while we milked cows! Hated coming down with the silo empty! We had a cable snap and dropped the unloaded from 80 ft! Thanks for the great video!
on the rope you use to pull the blower up why don't you mark the rope with tape on the point when the blowers at the top so you don't need to go all the way up to make sure you don't hit the roof
The narration worked well. Good video
Real safety issue when you're climbing those silos without safety harnesses. $100 is pretty cheap compared to an accident.
