In this video I am out in the field with Orrson Custom Farming out of Apple Creek Ohio as they custom harvest corn silage for a dairy farm in Northwest Ohio. In the video Orrson is chopping corn silage using their two Krone Big X 1180 self propelled forage harvester with Krone Easy Collect 1050-3 headers that can take 14 30 inch rows of corn per pass. They are running 10 semi trucks and trailers to haul the chopped silage from the field back to the dairy farm where they are unloading then pushing and packing a pile of silage using their Case IH 500 & 550 articulate 4WD tractors with front blades plus their 3 Fendt 927 tractors all with front mounted blades.

There was a lot of action going on making this quite a long video. I shot this video on the evening of September 8 and the morning of September 9, 2022. The video includes lots of drone footage from 3 different fields plus some ground shots with some in cab footage as I rode in one of the choppers.

Orrson Custom Farming is based out of Apple Creek Ohio and does custom forage harvesting from Georgia to Michigan.

    Awesome video Mike!! Thanks for the amazing 52 minutes of chopping action! I didn’t realize Krone’s biggest model could run an easy collect head eating up 14 rows!! That’s impressive!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    I think Krone Big X 1180 is the coolest forage harvester currently. Amazing video! So much action! These guys are doing a good job with good equipment.

    This crew is like a well orchestrated symphony where all know just when to jump in to contribute their part of the movement! Real sweet! This crew must be gone for 8 months a year. Not too bad if you are single. Mike would it be possible to film one of the big dairies when covering the silage with the plastic covers? Curious to see how the do that when it is a few hundred feet long and real wide! Thanks again Mike. Happy trails!

    That's a really professional looking outfit there. Choppers, trucks, trailers, tractors, the whole crew is spot on. Great video.

    I did noice that sawitchoff which makes a lot of sense. Some of the others blow a lot back into the field trying to get the truck full. But I also noticed a lot of green in the field where these guys could execute better. Great video that we can see all this stuff!
