( I can see that its a "all hands on deck" type of program : even the cats has joined in )

I've seen pictures of those cribs sometimes on the net. Not something that exists here up in the north... I guess you will be selling the corn cobs then if you are going to harvest them separately instead of making silage as we've seen uptill now? Are they going to be feed for animals or humans?

[selmir_Bosnia]

We allways used to harvest corn knobs and later grind them - separate corn grains from inner part, I do not know how to name it in english. The I use corn grain for my cattle (I pulverize it) and later sell all the surplus. I had 40 years old wooden corn crib but it was falling apart, it almost toppled over last winter so we demolished it and started to build this one, it is more than twice as big as the old one so all my corn will be storaged in there.

Few years I used silage for my cattle but we gave that up last year. We simply had to much losess becouse we were not able to use enough silage in order to stop it from spoiling. Last year we collected 500 bales (small one, not round ones) of dried remains of corn plant that corn knob harvester mulches down during harvest and used that material as food in combination with hay and pulverized corn grain. We discovered that it is much easier and cheaper than silage and it produces the same results with no losses. Bulls like to eat dried corn plant, they eat almost 70% of whole plant and all the rest we use as floorcloth that later, mixed with muck, produces great natural fertilized. At the end, we use literally 100% of whole corn. Even the inner part of corn knob is used for heating my house in combination with firewood, it burns very clean and produces a lot of heat although you need a lot of it becouse it burns very fast.

Why is this post deleted, i do not understand?

[Michael Meier]

i repaired your Youtube-link, it ws a Little wrong spelled, and that did you do at the same time, doubleposting not so nice .. i deleted mine.

[jörgen.ottosson]

Nice!
Is it som kind of fruit trees that you are mending? ( not important, I am just curious )

[Bengt Erik Eriksson]

What cutting tool do you use on 240r?

[selmir_Bosnia]

Aaah, now I understandt! I posted YT link but something was wrong, then went to YT to take new link and edit my post here and you have been doing the same at the exact same time

Yes, Jorgen, this is fruit named plum,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum

We use it to produce marmelade, juice and strong alcohol drink "rakija" od schnapps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakia. I will sell all my production this year, I have only 50 trees and some 2 tonnes of fruit. Nobody in my family consumes rakija, i do not like it becouse it is too strong, i prefer beer and we have some marmelade left from last year so I do not need it. it costs from 75 Eur per tonne up to 150 eur per tonne, based on quality.

Bengt,

I use Husqvarna head for silk, model T35,



3 teets blade gor mowing,



2 teeth mulching blade for heavy grass and other problematic plants



and Husqvarna Scarlet circulas saw for small trees

When i bought 240R i also got metal silk head, similar like this one



I use 240R very, very much and use all these attachments very frequently. I regret only that I could not find Husqvarna 165R or 265R, the strongest ones with 65ccm and 4HP that Husqvarna ever produced as far a I know, they are very rare here. Once i found one on PIK.ba (something like Ebay) but when i went to check it i found out that it is in very bad state.

[Bengt Erik Eriksson]

I thought wich tool you used in the movie. It seemed verry efficient and strong..

I think 165 ans 265 is quite rare here too.
They are too heavy to carry and all power is not needed in tree thinning. Grass moving requires much more power.

Once i had both 252r and newer r345 at the same job. Before i had really liked the 252r but ven i had tried r345 i found 252r almost useless! Thus smaller engine cc it had moore torque. Less weight and handle warmer..

[selmir_Bosnia]

In video I used T35 silk head, found original here for 25EUR, not quite cheap but it is worth that money, Made in Sweden, very well built. Silk is some chinese brand Villager, square silk. It is very cheap but also very high quality, for 1000m2 i had to "release" new silk only two times and it also cuts like a metal blade.

I know that 165R is very heavy but I love those good, old overkill machines

[selmir_Bosnia]

Hi all!

I have a question for you. WHat is the best and most simple way to build mulcher capable of cutting corn stalks? Has anyone built something like that before?

[rospigg]

I found one at Youtube.... Can´t recommend that way to use a mower.

[selmir_Bosnia]

I meant mulcher like tractor implement, for cutting corn stalks in field.

[ja-bond77]

Is it the corn stubble you mean, that is left after combining? Or the hole 2-3m high plant?
