That is absolutely absurd. The chopper must have been very, very much out of adjustment AND dull. You can't grow corn big & thick enough to make 150 HP work hard cutting 1 row at 1 MPH with a properly adjusted machine. You might get some of these folks to buy in, but I've cut wayyy to much silage to swallow that.
I have never cut any. All I know is what had been told to me. I have seen two others cutting silage before both chopped grass hay. And both pulled chopper with articulated tractors and very slow. So I thought this guy could be on que.
Could you pass along some details of tractor requirements speeds and any other knowledge you have gained?
