OK rancherman.. Give me a clue what your avatar is.. I've had a number of people looking at it and all we can come up with is: A big flatbed truck with 50 gallon oil drums on it that just ran over one big, bad, green grasshopper. Not bad mouthing your avatar Bro - - Just curious. Not being a farmer or rancher I'm clueless on this one. Help me out guy.. Thanks....

HA HA HA HA All us farm boys know that it is a big *** Claas forage harvester or what I would call a corn chopper! It basically chops up corn or hay and shoots it into a truck to be hauled to a silo.

Here is a bigger of pic of one similar in action:

It had me stumped too.

Must be city folk. I knew what it was, although it's not the right color green. :draw

I confussed on the difference between a combine (cornbine as my 7 yo calls 'em) and a forage harvester. I met a big old JD a couple weeks ago at 6 in the morning. 8 tires (2 each corner) Needles to say, I pulled over.

I was Hoping HiWayMan was right. That would have made good story...

OK. It's making sense to me now. Thanks for the picture of one in action. Cool machine.. It looks like a lot of fun to operate - for the first 8 hours anyway. Sitting in there for 12 hrs would probably get old.... Thanks for straightening me out on that...

A combine separates the seeds of the crop from the rest of the plant. It is more complex than a forage harvester.

A forage harvester simply chops the entire plant seeds,stem,leaves and all up into small pieces and blows it out through a spout and into a wagon or truck. The silage is then packed into an air tight storage silo where it ferments and is later used for feed.

Hey before you know it, I'll have you city slickers calling out proper names of equipement like a little kid names animals as he walks through the zoo.

Hopefully the "right" color green you are talking about is OLIVER GREEN!

 

[pafixitman]

I think he meant this green! Cool. They used a sweet combine behind my house a couple weeks ago. Nice turbo whistle, and the correct green!
