Chopping corn silage using Allis Chalmers Tractors and New Holland Forage Harvesters.
This video comes from a family farm near Fort Recovery Ohio as they harvest their 2022 corn silage crop for feed for their beef cattle herd. Lots of different Allis Chalmers tractors pulling New Holland Forage Harvesters and H&S forage boxes in this video.

My question is about the guy chopping having the blower spout filling the front only. Why not be topping off the whole wagon i stead of filling the beaters? Just curious, not being sarcastic as we chop all our feel the same setup.
Wow. What a beautiful collection of tractors. I grew up on 100 and 8000 series AC tractors, they are my favorite! I could listen to those 426s on the blowers all day!
Great lookin' fleet of the best farm tractors ever made!
Is there an advantage to running pull type choppers instead of the self propelled like they have in this operation?
The collection of Allis tractors on this farm is amazing.
that place at 2:51 was hit in the fort recovery tornados. my uncles farm out there was hit too
They don't use this equipment regularly do they?
In one segment of the Video we are running our test plot. You can see we are filling just the front of the wagons. We harvest 3 rows then weigh and take samples to send in for analysis of relative feed value. We had 15 different hybrids in the plot. We use this information to select the best hybrids to use for corn silage. You can get this information from Beck’s Hybrids or your local Beck’s dealer
That was a fun video watching all the orange getting it done.
I loved the allis cab when they came out with the 80 series tractor so roomy great view so much better than what other tractors had at the time thanks for sharing
That 220 is thinking " when are they going to give me a challenge!"
Allis Chalmers 👍👍👍
Another great video Mike and buy the way what a very clean and tidy farm merry Christmas Mike
WOW!!!! great tractors great farmsteads they are neet clean and well organized!! great video and great guy running the video!!!! the view from the silo top and the 220 smoking was great and length of the video was great too!!!! Happy New Year !!! l will be watchin!!!!!!
Great representation of older Orange Iron. Impressive condition!! The D 21, Two-Twenty and Two Ten are beauties! Thanks for posting and have a Happy New Year!
Awesome video! I bleed green but Allis Chalmers and IH are my 2nd and 3rd favorites! The 1880 chopper was also made with a Detroit motor, there was one on Tractorhouse probably a year ago.
Mike, awesome video of awesome old equipment – they look new still. I realize they have been repowered but the tractor using the PTO to fill the silos, that look like 50-70 ft tall tubes, approx how often do they change oil in that tractor – in harvest season? Merry Christmas!
Nice whistle coming off those Cummins repowers!
Do they have to use the AC for this job or is this more for fun, guys pulling wagons would drive me crazy if I was running the harvester
Pretty neat stuff,go farmhand Mike
Great video, great lineup of equipment too!
Do some Farmers sell silage to other dairymen or is it just usually producing for their own herd?
What does a silage wagon weigh when filled up?
This reminds me of watching old locomotives on small railroads still hauling trains and earning their keep. Some of these old locomotives are now 70 years old and as long as their parts supply holds out they will continue to work.
Thanks a lot for the video
ands merry christmas to y'all! 😊👍🏻
I see Allis and hit like! lovely to see these big Allis's working. My small collection is from the other end of the power range – a B, WC and D272 but would love to get hold of a 200 from the US someday!
Merry Christmas Mike. Thanks for sharing again. Looking forward to the next video. Great video shots on this one. Happy subscriber 😊! BTW I am like #900. Let's hope that number goes well up into the 7k region 😀.
Nice line up of older tractors, still doing the job very effectively too. Hope you and family have a great Christmas and holiday time together. Regards from Down Under.
Some very nice looking orange tractors!
Great video of a make of tractor you only see in the UK now at vintage vehicle rallies, and not that many either. – I get the impression that this farm whilst having a beautiful collection of, (dare I say preserved tractors), and machinery get it to 'work' for its keep. – Merry Christmas to You, Your Family, and everyone who watches your channel from one of your subscribers in the UK.🌲🍷🚜👋……….
Merry Christmas Mike from Dehring family
That ac 220 on the blower is absolutely beautiful
That D21 the meanest lookin tractor ever built
I'm a John Deere guy, but those are some beautiful AC's. Lots of hard work and care to keep them in that condition.
As much as I love watching corn forage videos, and wished I had a chance to chop corn myself, you could not ever get me to climb up a vertical silo. To me, those steel silo ladders incorporated into the silo wall is not safe. I mean one wrong slip and its bye bye. I mean I love vertical silos and admired them for 50 years now. One would think that after all these decades someone would have devised a much safer silo ladder. I keep thinking that some type of enclosed elevator would do the trick–a bit like an elevator in a high rise hotel. I know, yes my idea sounds freaky, but human life always comes first. At any rate , i enjoyed the video and Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas! That is one of the best videos I've seen! That line up of tractors is like a dream. I was so excited to see that 4w220 chopping on Instagram and couldn't wait for the video. Great job and keep up the good work.
Nice fleet of Allis Chamers tractors 👍
nice! I've never seen machinery like that before! v interesting! thanks mike
Very Clean very nice Operation!!! Brings back 1980’s memories! Neighbors Had 8060 I think first 4WD and Cab in the Hood!!! That’s all we wanted was A CAB Tractor!!😢😢😢😢😢 at 10 years old..
Great awesome video mike . Happy holidays and merry Christmas to your family from mine to yours . Hope to get out skidooing very soon , just started grooming trails here
Great video!
Wow that is a very well kept line up of Allis tractors. When I was a little kid we ran an Allis 7580 on a gehl 1250 chopper and wagons. It is cool to see big old articulated tractors on choppers. Merry Christmas!!
A whole lot of awesome orange in this video!
What happended to the original engines on those 2 tractors?
Awesome!! I am an AC fan and have been for decades. There's some beautiful old machines right there. While I love watching modern SP forage harvesters work, there's something special about a pulled FH, so this was excellent.
Was that you up at the top of the silo? Thanks
Mike I am a deere guy but love seeing those Chalmers working. Thanks
Awesome video Mike! Loved seeing all the Allis tractors in very nice shape!
Brings back so many memories (that kid @ 7:45 ) would have been me riding with my dad back in the day cutting silage up until I was about 12 and one day while disking one of our fields he stopped the tractor and told me to get in the seat and see if my feet could reach the clutch and brake pedals. Thanks Mike and a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all here ! 🎄🎀🎁✨
Awesome video!
I grew up running a 180AC, then we purchased a 200. Both were great machines, basic reliable and ready to get the job done.
Chopping corn silage was one of my favorite jobs. Hearing 12' corn stalks going there the 718 New Holland harvester is a great sound.
Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
Merry Christmas to you and yours. 😀
