We tried a little experiment with our left over sweet corn. It was still green, 8 feet high, and with a lot of cobs left. Mowed it down with the discbine with flail conditioner(beat most of the cobs off) side raked it up with old ground drive bar rake to clean up the cobs and round baled it for silage. Interesting to bale (hard core, 848 New Holland chain and bar baler)had to leave it spinning for a bit at end to pound stalks flat. Lots of plastic (8 layers) to wrap and heavy. Tipped over the wrapper when loading. 4'x5' bale is in the 2600 pound range at least. Let you know how the feeding goes this winter. I think I'll need the big loader for feeding them out, heavy stuff.
