We intended to get a good jump this weekend and fill a 10x200 bag by tonight, but instead the bagger never showed up and we were lucky to get 8 loads chopped. 7 are in our small silo that'll hold 9 if we let it settle some before adding more. Our other silo used to hold 18 loads, but now with the roof blown off from a wind storm a few years ago (tornado just 1 mile North of us) it'll maybe hold 13-14. Just can't pack it like we used to...
I have our Massey 285 set up now to be able to run the chopper and I used that to open up 2 fields as it'll straddle 2 rows w/out running down the 3rd like our 1855 will. We really like our NH 892 we picked up last year. We picked up a second one this spring for cheap, and I'm gonna try it tomorrow in the sudan grass I cut today. Not a whole lot of it, but it'd better than the big open spots. Might get 2-3 loads of it. I'd prefer to mix it 1/2 & 1/2 with corn, but without a bagger here, it's hard to work it in.
Next weekend I've got a wedding on Saturday, so I'll probably end up just going to the reception that night (it's at Lambeau Field) after chopping all day. Hope to have Friday to chop also. We should still manage to get most of it off this next weekend if we can get the rental machine soon.
