We have a 2810, 2910 and a 6610, plus a TC30 New Holland. And I'm always keeping an eye out for a deal on a small Ford.

In 1960 cut silage the same way in the UK, Fordson Major tractor, silage cutter, and Weeks trailers. Dumped into a silage pit cut into a bank and lined with railway sleepers (Ties) The cattle would self feed from the open end, managed with an electric fence.

Eh, maybe, but the smaller tractor is so much more freeing to drive. There is a video of the 6610 green chopping far from home.

i used to do A LOT of flail chopping as a kid and my early farming days (and a lot of fixin'). rotational grazing is the only way to go imo.

You can't put cattle on the road sides. And they would trample more sweet corn than they could eat.

@@boehmfarm4276 That's a good old technique from the 50's... chop just what they need for each day. Make better use of the forage because the chopper gets ALL of it, where cows selectively eat what they like best, and trample and sh!t on a lot of it. I would recommend new chopper blades and it didn't sound like you had the thing at full RPM's which a flail chopper and blower needs to run at. Interesting for sure. I read about a guy in FARM SHOW magazine down in Florida (IIRC) who is a small cattle raiser and his baler pooped out, and when he went looking for one he was gonna have to spend like $10,000 for a decent machine that wasn't falling apart, and he didn't want to spend that much. A neighbor had one of those old flail choppers like that so he decided to start putting up "loose hay" with it. Got a grapple bucket for the tractor and collected it and moved it that way, but got a better idea... he took some old mobile home frames and built feeders out of them... basically four tin walls and a tin roof, with a hole for the cutter to blow the stuff in at the front. The sides of the walls, the bottom sheet of tin folds up and chains up out of the way creating a 3 foot feet opening at the bottom, with bars to keep them from digging out too much at one time. He cuts his hay with a regular mower or haybine or whatever, rakes it, and lets it cure in the windrow just like he would if he were getting ready to bale it. Instead of baling it, however, he then hooks up to the chopper and hooks one of his 'trailer houses' to the back of the chopper, and goes to chopping his hay, picking it up with the flail chopper, feeding it into the blower, which blows it to the back of the trailer house and fills the thing up with chopper hay back to front bottom to top. Puts up his whole hay crop in several of these "trailer houses". Then parks them, they act as their own 'hay barn' and keep the hay high and dry until winter, then when he's ready to feed, he pulls them out to the pasture one by one and opens one of the bottom sheets of tin on one side or the other, alternating as the cows eat the hay, working from back to front. Said the whole system only cost him about $2 grand and it's working MUCH better than the round bales stored outside he was doing before, because the hay can "breathe" in the trailers and is covered and protected from the weather in storage...

You should be fine with a 4000. We mostly only use our three cylinders on the green chopper.
