We Can't Figure Out How to Run 6 Balers

- One of the last big days of the year presented some unusual problems for us, when should we stop raking? The 3rd cutting orchardgrass at the home farm produced well, combined with good weather and another baler we didn't exactly know how to handle it!
I bet it smells wonderful around there with all that fresh cut hay. So cool seeing all the bales sitting in the field.
The barns smell great!
Unfortunately, both of my wife's siblings from hay fever, so that part of basically be a death trap for them 👀👍🤣
You should try a freshly harvested corn field, unbeatable good smell
Can't believe I just sat and watched baling hay given how much I never liked doing it. As the youngest/smallest it was always my privilege to mow the peak of the mows
It’s changed a little bit over the years!
Definitely like the 360. Great video!!!
thank you for the review!
I like the 360 camera.
thank you!!
Good video ,,,love you ,👍✌✌🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰🇱🇰
Thank you! Many many thanks
Great sound. Great videography. Smooth production. Nice James Cyril Bamford tele handler!
Giant barn at the home farm. It's got your utilities, scale and equipment ready to send it 👍
Yep, you are right about this
As a city boy i don’t know how often fires occur with bails of hay but with financing i know they say don’t leave all the eggs in one basket in case of. I think its best to spread out your bails in case of storms fires or other issues and you get desperate for hay and can’t make it to one area. Also depending how far your traveling with trucks might be more economical on fuel and time wasred in road travel to transfer bails of hay from one area to the next 😊.
These are awesome points you bring up. Thank you
The cameras you are taking are excellent, I enjoy listening and looking for, seeing you, a big thanks from Canada..
Thank you very much!!
360⁰ Yes
Sound quality was fine to my 80 yr old ears.
A bit different than how we used to make hay when I was working for a farmer while in high school and Community College.
I stacked hay on the wagons nine high and kept 7 or 8 guys busy stacking hay in the barn.
Mel held his bales to about 65 lbs ea. I'm not sure about the flake count. My mother sewed a leather piece on the right thigh of my haying jeans. I used my arms and right thigh to put the bale where you wanted it. It was good honest work. I earned $5 per day, and the farmer's wife always had a bag of vegetables, fruit, various meat types, etc. that she sent home with me every weekend and also on Wednesday in the summer. It wasn't until I was grown and taking care of my own budgets that I realized I had pretty much provided the groceries for the family. I look back today and realize that farming, for me, was my favorite of all jobs.
Cool video with the new camera.. Carl always brightens my day .. seems like a good man
You got that right, he's a great guy
Nice to see Carl starting this video.😀
A bright start!
that morning crisp sound
Geese, growing up at our busiest time on tue farm we ran up to 4 balers at once. More often than not we were all in the same field. Maybe 3 here 1 there or Rena’s of 2. But was always awesome when all 4 were together in the few big fields we had leased. I could never imagine keeping 6 balers running full force. That’s insane. The pickup has to be something else to see.
We try to really get after it when it is time!
As always a great video. Six balers is awesome. It will be interesting to see a new barn constructed if you decide to go ahead with that.
I can't wait!
Awesome camera
Thank you!
That is impressive.
Thank you!
Always a good video.
thank you!
Yay on the 360 camera. I think if you change from view of the tractor to you talking to the camera (or dual view) helps retention. Weird faces and squinting is a good thing! The human element.
I think it works great in the cab. It makes it look like the arm on the JCB is fully extended. I think when it comes to checking out hay quality, i dont think the 360 camera can fit that bill. Huge value to audio and visual when it come to that hay inspection, talking to the team, etc...
Def gotta dig into the barn discussion! Nice work guys
Thank you for the in depth review! Noted and appreciated! Yes, we'll discuss the barn situation in a little more detail soon
This video is nuts!!! 1 mil views Inc! 🚨🚨🚨
Thumbs down for the 360. That was amazing to see that day of farming. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for the review!
Great video! Would like to see other aspects of your operation. Grain farming planting and harvesting as well as grain bin system. Yay on the 360 camera!
Thank you! I don't seem to get into the grain side of things as much anymore. The hay is a full time gig for me (personally) but I will try to feature some more diverse content
Always love your videos.
I appreciate that!
The new camera seems good to me, plus it’s probably easier for you having both hands available when operating equipment. Could mean more videos since it’s less of a hindrance.
You're spot on! it's so much easier
New camera isn't bad but I prefer old camera better. I enjoy the content. It's nice to see how other farmer do things in other parts of the country. You definitely have a great setup.
thank you for the review!
That's fine and good around here 1 baler per farm
Gotta have some extra for breakdowns haha
Having run bales from two separate yards, I would suggest that it would be much better to build another big barn at the home farm. It takes the stress out of loading trucks and trailers with different types of bales and travelling between sites. Very impressive operation!
I share very similar thoughts with you and thank you!
Love the operation, and the care you all put into it
new barn at home farm. that way you dont have to jump around and you have the scale there. Everyone who picks up goes to the same place. May be a little more costly for hauling, but it will be more convienient for you all
I agree with you!
Freaking love it keep up the great work I just wish you had more subscribers because this is an amazing channel
Thank you so much!
What the fuck dude... we miss you guys!!!!! What a beautiful trailer.
That 360 is outstanding dude, I'll send my cv over. Lol. Great family. Do you want a kiwi operator for a season, 25 years experience, ?
We’re back!
Yes for 360 camera!🙂
Where I'm at in central Oklahoma it's becoming less and less profitable to bale hay. Making the switch to grow more silage and cover crops to use and switching hay fields over to natural prairie grasses to grow year round. I think it makes more sense to go this route considering organizations like the WEF and big corporations owning 85% of the beef industry and keeping seed prices stagnant since they haven't really increased for inflation since the 70's let alone 2023's inflation rates and increased fuel and input costs that aren't profiting farmers in our area as much as it use to. The usda recently did a detailed article on low-cost vs high-cost farm profit margins and shed a lot of light onto this problem which could be the reason farmers are losing their farms at such high rates today. The WEF admits on their website their goal is own 50% of farmland by 2050, I can only think of a few ways they can manage to do this and the way our agriculture system is set up in the US that would not be difficult. Local markets are our safest bet, at least in the central plains.
Listening to you talk makes my head spin but yet I wish I was you lol
Hay can be a seriously involved project, but it is rewarding!
You could use a stackwagon for real! Love the operation you guys are running as well as your camera setup and editing! Subscribed! My compliments dude keep it up!
Thank you very much! I appreciate that
Ever use a bale squeeze like Kuhn SQ102 seems like it could save lots of time especially unloading or moving stacks
Satisfying seeing those bale stacking skills.
Man if you got some repowered bail wagons and two hay squeezes from us out here in the west could pack and stack that field way faster...still pretty cool seeing how other areas do it.
Yeah
thank you!
Love to see young people farming.
That is lots of bails those squir are where the money is
yes sir!
There is a little bit of glare from the windows on the tellahandler. Otherwise pretty good
A suggestion when 2 are unloading a trailer, 1 grabs stack off the trailer and sets down outside of the barn. The other grabs the stack near barn and stacks in the barn. This should speed up unloading and is safer. Wish you guys were closer looks like great hay.
You don’t need to build a dedicated loading ramp, make or purchase one or two portable metal ramp for unloading/loading trailers.👍🇨🇦
360, yes.
Thank you!
Bit late to the comments here, but if it was me I would be thinking of a barn somewhere else if you were to have a major disaster i.e. a fire better to have some kept somewhere else so you don’t lose it all!
Wow, what a great farm with a lot of operating capital.
Thank you sir! Still less money than grain equipment by far
Why don't you have a combination rake and Baler in one operation
How to do a large field with any number of balers.
1: Open your end-row cuts. 1 baler per end row.
2: Start the main field with 1 baler per row with a timed offset of 20 seconds between each baler.
3: When a baler hits the end of a row, each moves over to the nearest open windrow that doesn't have a baler already coming up it.
With 6 balers, Baler 1 moves to windrow 7, baler 2 to windrow 8 and so on.
If done right and no one has a break down a field of any size with any number of machines should be able lt harvested without any two or more machines taking up too much space at the ends.
Camera is ok looking forward
thank you!
What was the reason to move away from the Arcusin D14s? Would love to see a video with your experience of the two and pros and cons. Have you had any customers bring up the size of the bales coming out of the barons in terms of length compared to the D14 packs ?
No one has said a think about bale size. We made the decision based on capacity. I will release a video!
Key words three rakes running star r with two bales then use two more 20 minutes later then through the others in an leave a nonbaled windwrow per each group and after the first 3 hours depending g on due put Ll of them running ery other widow and then after another hour all 6 pickup slack rows ND then get it all gathered
Time for a ARCUSIN MULTI PAK
We have them!
@@FarmingInsider how about a Four Stak for moving the bundles?
What is the preservative you use on the hay? Is it different than propionic acid? Is it omri listed by any chance? Awesome videos. 360 yay!
We use Sila prime and silo king now
What was the moisture content on those bales? Beautiful hay!
Very low! like 11-13%
The quality of the new camera is good, but I am not sure about the "rounded" view. I watch because of the quality of the content, not the quality of the image. How do you keep track of what hay is where in the barns ? I would think many small barns would be more $$$, than one large barn.
thank you for the review!! We try to stay organized with the stacks. It sounds crazy but in a 12 month running window I know by look, feel and smell where bales came from and what cutting they are.
No expert but wouldn't 4 in a line or diagonal line work better
Did you walk by bigfoot at the end ? 😂
I need to feature him!
I do not understand from AUSTRALIA why timber frame buildings not allowed in AUS.
They work pretty well for us and we battle severe winds at times, as well as high annual snowfalls
Termites
New camera 👍. Just the picture quality helps me. I can see your video a lot better
Are you considering buying the double baler Massey come out with?
Great video! Is "volumptuous" a word? Not!
I'm gonna make it one lol
How much $$ is the yield?
It really varies a lot
When you build new barns I would consider going to sliding doors instead of the garage door. Then you will not have to work around them
Whats the benefit of running 6 small balers compared to a big one? That makes the big 1000 lbs bales.
Was the hay not dry enough that you needed preservatives?
why don't you eliminate your small square balers, big square everything and get 1.5 times more storage out of each barn ? Re bale year round .
We would never be able to keep up Rebaling
Why have you not gotten into the haying mantis style of picking up bales? 6 balers should be ok. Just run them in different parts of your paddocks. Invest in a mower/conditioner sp
What is the haying mantis style?
Yay 360
thank you!
How many small bales do you make in the field ?
One Large Barn much better, less cost than moving barn to barn. Just in case moving inventory around.
Rake it into to a spiral and stay together
What do you do to eliminate foxtail in you fields ?
Nothing in particular, we just don't really battle it
Hey Jb how many pounds to the acre are you seeding your orchard grass?
Why, in the hay barn, do you put straw on the ground?
It helps keep the bottoms from going musty
@@FarmingInsider is that a concrete floor?
What are you bailing? Name of the seed?
Timothy/orchard grass/alfalfa mix
Are you running both arcusin and bale Baron?
Yes we do
@@FarmingInsider I'm considering buying one which one would you recommend the arcusin or the bale Baron for about 150 total acres of alfalfa and grass
Do you guys bale any round bales? If so what size ? And if you do how do I inquire about pricing? Tks.
no round bales
Don't you use courseplay?
Nice videos, to much of yourself on camera. I would to see more of the operation happening.
thank you for the feedback!
Really sad on cool call
With that baleage how can you not afford a bale accumilator? You already have the grapple.
We run bale barons?
@@FarmingInsider fascinating!
Then again put the spray tanks on and just bale the shit.
Buy Hesston bales they will be so broke down that they are equally to 2 balers
No 360...
thank you for the review!
$24.00 a bale for 120 lbers. it is killing ranchers, and goat farms.
I believe it :(
I can’t believe how flat ur land is
Them cameras are junk
they are a learning curve hah
@@FarmingInsider no just junk
The normal Camara is way better
Quality is definitely better for sure
p͎r͎o͎m͎o͎s͎m͎ ☺️
Man can you ever talk.
