Just got a good start on chopping corn today after spending 1 1/2 days working on getting the chopper tuned up to give a good cut. I chopped 2 loads last night to make sure I had it set.
We were planning to start by filling the silo, but then after a little mis communication a bagger showed up without us being quite ready to go, which meant Dad hadn't rented the tractor we needed to run it. After useing our 285 on the bagger for the 1st 2 loads (We've done it before but it's SLOOOOOOW) Dad called the nieghbor to see if we could get their White 2-100. While we were having a family meal (brothers drove up from Madison and Plymouth) he came over with it and we were off to the races.
Last weekend we took 2 loads off just to give the girls something to eat, and today off the same 10 acre field I took another 8 loads and 2 more are standing on it. It was our last field we planted so we put in a shorter maturity corn (85 day vs 95 or 100) and it's still piling up. We've still got a long way to go and it looks like we're gonna need a second bag to make sure we can fit it all. This corn is up to and in some spots over the tractor's canopy. I took some outside rounds off another close by feild and it's well past the tractor and comes close to going over the wagon.
Great year here for us, even with the wind damage. So far a total of 13 loads off and we've only just begun....

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
