Raking Hay with 560 Farmall/ Baling Hay With a New Idea 551 Square Baler
Vložit

- Saturday the 13th, we spent the day at our nearby consignment equipment auction, where Alan purchased a wood splitter. Come Sunday, the hay was ready to be raked and baled. Alan's brother Paul raked with the 560 Farmall and V rake. Alan got the elevator set up, and got the baler and wagons greased. We use a New Idea 551 Square Baler that Alan's Grandpa bought new. It makes a nice tight bale. We use hay baskets instead of flat racks for the most part, because it's hard to find help to stack wagons and unload. With two fields cut, we got 4 loads and 413 bales. We could definitely use more hay, but until we are blessed with some much needed rain, we are grateful for what we got so far.
Growing up on the farm summer holidays from school meant haying season and work for me and my brother. Still was way better then sitting in school all day by far. Square bales turns boys into men my dad always said. Why would I buy a bale picker, God blessed me with two.
First time I seen a New Idea square baler. Interesting.
Those balers are the International 435 or 445 balers painted a different color
Ok. That's where I have seen that style before
A BIG shout out to Grandpa who can even chase them around the field! I’m so jealous. 😝🤣😂🥰
I miss days like that but I don't miss days like that remember working on the farm you wasn't done til ur done with everything
Paul is a great help on your farm. Hopefully one day you'll be able to pay him full time. Alan needs help and they seem to work well together. Be blessed.
Watching your videos brings back a lot of memories.
I have never seen hay baskets before until your channel. So cool. Thank you for sharing.
I had never seen a New Idea square baler nor knew they ever built one,
Manure spreaders, corn pickers, sickle mowers, side rakes, cut-ditioner............but NEVER saw a New Idea square baler.
Learn something new even when you think you've seen it all.
Aah, I remember baling hay very well... Thousands of bales... It was hard... hot work, but it was fun too... And you could look back at the end of the day... and see what you got done... A lot of jobs you can't do that😔... That's a well made barn... Lot of timber in that roof... You've got a nice family... Cherish them while you can😌...
Yes everyone's hot and tired, but still ready to goof around with the kids. Thank you so much for watching!
@@trinitydairy Kids runnin' round the hay field...Us kids were always told to never play hide and seek underneath a windrow, 'cuz if you got through the baler alive you were stuck in that bale until it was opened to feed in the winter. Of course the "older" boys would recant stories of how they did just that in years prior.!!
That balers makes nice uniform bales. Wood splitters supply heat twice when you split and burn wood. My dad always used to say that. Another quality video!!
Perfect farming life, in my opinion. Work and play. ☺️. Thanks for sharing.
You guys do a fantastic job. Your love for farming shines through in every one of your videos. Pleasure to watch. God bless.
God bless you guys not just because bein from MN brought lota memories back with gramps 😆 with everything goin last year made us smile wife said gotta bring grand baby's with me in the truck more often but they ride with there dad's anyway THANKYOU 4 a smile helps all
Thanks for watching!
Good thing about farming, it involves the whole family!
Watching this my poor back was sore LOL spent many days as a young lad and those darn bales of hay. prickly red arms sore everything.
Pitched them up on a wagon with a fork sometime two of us per bale as the load got higher. Did the barn things too. Thanks for the memories. Enjoy your videos.
Haha glad you enjoyed it! We just put up 275 more bales yesterday.
Great video. Great memories has a kid with my grandfather..
Watching this brought back memories of my dads farm in the 70s where we made little bales all summer long and fed them out all winter long. Bought a round baler & wrapper & then an in-line wrapper and never looked back. God Bless your family, stay safe!
I grew up making hay on every day it didn't rain all summer long. Usually 1000 bales a day. At least we had an international baler with a thrower. I worked for a guy with bale baskets. I preferred the wagons with the thrower.
Thanks for posting that clip; I'd never used, or even seen, those hay baskets before. Sure wish my uncles had some of those back in the 1960s, when we did all that by hand! Looking forward to the next one already!
Thanks for the great video. We use a 15 bale stooker behind the baler. Someone (me) has to be on there to stack and then we have the forks on the tractor to pick them up. We haven't started cutting yet, weather is too unstable. Soon enough.
You never forget the clickety clack of a hay conveyor or how great it sounded when it was shut off.
Phew, that's hard work!! God bless Trinity Dairy. Praying for more rain for ya'll.
Consignment auctions and farm toy shows are deeply missed!
the auction looked like a good place, lotta stuff i know i would have wanted to see.
I was hoping Alan would've gotten more video, but he got distracted visiting lol! Hard to believe I know.
I would have broke the bank at an auction like that!
Looks like you guys got some nice looking bales in the barn. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Yeah, it's seems like really nice hay. Thanks for watching!
I say it’s the best way to put up and keep hay...been their
Love the sound of a baler.Sure beats stacking on the wagon.
What a loving husband, buys his wife a woodspitter!! Lots of supervisors during the unloading!
I just read your comment to Jen, she doesn't seem to agree lol!
@Acer Acres you guys are gonna get me divorced yet haha!
what a deal a lot of lookers no buyers
All the farmers I knew said same thing it's hard to find help bailing hay and straw but I did it I'm glad I did.
Brings back memories
Iv'e ran forage king hay baskets for 25 years. Best money i ever spent. No more looking for help.
Yes exactly! When we did get help, Jen could out work teenage boys, even when she was pregnant.
I just started watching your videos they're great
Awesome! Glad you liked them!
Great video!!
The best machine out there was pulling that NI baler!
The heart of America !
Allan at the auction unsupervised? He buy you a log spitter but you Jennifer? Red tractor? Pretty? Lol now you be looking at green...lol. And you did good running along side the baler... Lol.i know. You was in your truck. This brings back memories when my dad and uncle would run me though the hay fields.. Great memories.. Thank you.. You hit me close to my heart... Thank you... Hay looks great too.
I know, I know it was red. But they did such a good job on that little B. Oh no that log splitter he can run, he cuts logs that weigh a ton! Glad you enjoyed the video. God bless!
@@trinitydairy oh yeah all those Farmalls...A B and the C's all good little work horses. But red? Lol
Oh sorry.. I for got.here a heart back.. ❤ thank you for replying. Tks for your heart on my comment.
I love that little B Farmall, one of those was the first tractors i ever drove.
When I was a kid, many my neighbors had an H and a B.
The offset seat was to make it easier cultivating corn as you sat directly over one of the corn rows of a 2 row cultivator.
Small family farms make for strong families
Totally agree!
Happy birthday allan!!
Thanks, same to you.
Some one had a birthday! Happy birthday Allan!!
nice looking hay bud
I enjoy watching your videos 🙂
Ok,lol. Spoke to soon on the unloading. I like it.
I use a new idea wire tie baler for straw and it works good still.... its really hard to find people willing to do hay work anymore..... great video really enjoyed it.....
Yeah with the hay baskets I can keep baling while Jen and my Dad milk cows.
@@trinitydairy easier to pull out bales to put on the elevator than bales on a throwing wagon all interlocked
@@trinitydairy easier to pull out bales to put on the elevator than bales on a throwing wagon all interlocked
@@arthurdewith7608 yeah they're nice for that, and if there is no one to unload right away, I can dump 2 loads by the elevator so I can keep baling.
Loved the Video! I sub. Good down home work . People these days run from hard work . I love it !!!! And Pops is in pretty good shape! Run across a hay field after Grandkids and then go back to stacking hay . They don't make them like that anymore . Lol. Tell him to keep it up . God Bless you guys !
Good video, I'd say that hay basket works faster and more efficient, looked like there was a lot of equipments at that auction sale
There was a fair bit, but there was way more people at the auction than usual. I think everyone was itching to get out.
Yeah, they seem to work good.It was a good auction, not as much stuff as previous auctions but it was a good sale.
Joirdan says" I'm just gonna hang out here in my IH hat and look cool" lol

WOW! I had never seen a hay hauler like those....That's pretty slick when you're short of help! Nice purchase on the log splitter too!! Your videos are awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!! I do hope you've gotten some more rain?! You stated in your previous video that it had been hot and dry. 💦☔️💦☔️
We just got a little shot tonight, have to check in the morning to see if it amounted to much.
Trinity Dairy I was just talking to a buddy of mine who is fishing right now up in northern Minnesota, and he said it was raining pretty good there....Up by Leech Lake I think.
Oh okay that's about 100 miles Northwest of us. We desperately need the rain that's for sure!
It's still gets me to look at other areas of the country and see how much forage equipment is out there. Around where I live in NC it tobacco and sweet potatoes. We are hard pressed to find forage equipment on an auction. We normally have to haul it back from 4 or 5 hours away.
Wow! It's everywhere here
I agree. It's interesting to see how different things are.
Looks good!
sweet video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oppenheim's future son-in-law, Synck, worked with him to perfect the invention. After months of "trial and error it became obvious he (Oppenheim) had solved the problem of manure spreading...... that he had created a "New Idea." .....and that a name and an invention had been born!" Oppenheim died in 1901 and was buried in Maria Stein. Following his death, his wife, Mary Ellerbrock Oppenheim, invested in New Idea and made decisions to move the company forward. The "New Idea Spreader Works" was established and built in Maria Stein. The "New Idea" caught on quickly because it relieved farmers of the back-breaking chore of manually distributing manure from a wagon. Mary Oppenheim died in 1907. New Idea continued to grow and in 1908 the company moved to Coldwater, Ohio, where a railhead existed to ship the completed spreaders. Henry Synck remained involved with New Idea.
Very cool!

Thanks for subscribing!
20:26 "Done milking cows, now he gotta' go stack hay" !! That statement returned me to the late 1960's era. Two wagon loads before the evening milking then 1 and sometimes 2 wagon loads after milking. Often was way after dark when we called it a day. Your third load made my back hurt and some fifty years later !! But HEY that was farming and still is in many cases.
Next time you do the baler I would like it close up on how that runs if that can be possibly done. What kind of string do you use or do you use wire? Great video, love seeing the children. God blessing on you all.
We can definitely try to get a closer look. We just run a plastic twine in it.
I went to this auction too! Unfortunately 😔 nothing followed me home
I love your farm family life, your farm reminds me of my grandparents farm in Maine. I think your farm is the perfect size and scale to raise the perfect family. I’m a new sub and I look forward to watching all your farming adventures. Stay safe and God bless you and your family farm!
Thank you so much!
Al, your dad is in great shape! Who made those hay baskets? Haven’t ever seen them here in the Texas panhandle. More great memories for the kids.
The one says it was made in Saint Cloud, MN
I think I only saw about two farms in my entire life use those type of bale racks.
Nearly all dairy farmers (except me) had a bale thrower/kicker and "kicker racks"
The drawback, a farmer told me, was the type of rack shown in the video puts too much pressure on the plunger of the baler as the plunger has to push all those bales uphill over the top of the rack.
On my last trip back to my former area of central MN, small square balers were very rare as most dairy farms switched to haylage or big squares.
For those still small square baling, I'll bet there is some real bargains on small square balers.
The one in the video looked in great shape.
Actually in our area, small square balers are priced on the high side, but once in a while you can find a deal.
Sounds like an old steam locomotive! Does a good job though.
Fantastic!
That baker seems to work really well. It’s neat to see something a little more rare. Another rare one was the Gehl small square baler. Is that machine hard to get parts for?
I can imagine that Gehl would be hard to get parts for, they are a nice looking baler though.This one hasn't been to bad, I found that some of the parts are the same as New Holland, so that helps.
Unique
Never saw one those before .
I just found your channel. Really enjoy your videos. Did you say Sunday? Where I'm from we do chores and and go to Church on the Sabbath, that's it. No field work. It's a day for family and rest
We believe that rule too, except in the case of necessary field work. Otherwise yes no unnecessary work on a Sunday because we go to Mass.
I work full time job. Sometime Sunday after CHURCH is the best time to eat and do a little FELLOWSHIPING IN THE FEILD ! And spending time with friends and family . It ain't work if you are having fun!!!! Thank you JESUS for your work on the CROSS ! AND THE Hay fields to come ! God Bless you guys!
👍👌🇨🇦❤, Alan left unsupervised at an aution, now what kinda trouble would he get into, lordy knows,🤔😉🤣, would be like a kid in a candy store, excellent video
Great veido, sweet hay. How are you doing on rain? Will you get a second cutting? Kids are growing like weeds. Good, clean air and sunshine, with tons of love. ❤️❤️
We are still really dry. We are definitely hoping for a second cutting.
I knew New Idea had quite a selection of equipment but really never knew they made square balers. With a local dealer, I now understand how you ended up with the Uni System. Be careful bragging about the baler while dragging that fist full of twine from broken bales! Won't be long and the kids will be big enough to stack hay, they grow fast.
We did another 275 bales last night and the kids were helping roll the bales closer. They are eager to help.
Doing good you guys thanks, must be smelling awesome in the barn now, are you making hayledge or chopping alfalfa btw,greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer and have a good day
No we put up all of our hay dry. It does smell good in there!
We do make balage some times, if the weather won't cooperate to get it dry.
It’s nice that Alan’s family helps out. What is the bar a crossed the font of the case for?
Yes, for sure, it's a very big help. The bar on the Case is for weight,it's about 4 inch diameter solid steel, we use to pull a 4/16 semi mount plow and on the hills the front end would come up, so we put that on. Thanks for watching!
farmauctions are rare here now in southern Ontario
Oh really? There's a consignment sale about 3 times a year here.
Do you have more hay to make? Those hay baskets seem to work really nice!
We did another 275 bales last night. We have about 25 more acres to do. Yes the baskets are great.
5:59 jeez you sure look and sound like a NORWEGIAN !!
How do you like the bale baskets? And do you see a difference in weight when your almost loaded with them pushing on each other at the top of the basket?
I like the baskets, I don't notice much difference in the bales.
How was uncle able to keep running??😂😂😂😂😂
Throwing small square bales, is the fountain of youth.
Hey Allen,,,how do you think a thrower stands up against a basket? I see a couple things,,less moving parts,not as much leaf shatter?
I guess there's pros and cons to both, but I like the baskets better. No thrower to maintain, and I think you can make a better bale with them, than you can with a thrower.
👍👍👍👍👍
I have a case 5420 baler NI built for case same baler as yours for what I'm told can't get a part one.... scrap material if a needle breaks.....
I can believe that.
I replaced can bearings in the pickup last year, and they were for new Holland but they were exactly the same, and I've heard that the needles are new Holland but I don't know that for sure.
And how do you unload the baskets?
Great video. What camera do you use? God bless
Just our phones right now.
I have a New Idea 571W (wire) square baler. I would be interested to know how it’s different from your 551.
I have a paper that tells the difference between the two, and the 571 and 571w was a higher capacity and physically bigger machine, more sq ft feed opening, wider pickup, more teeth on the pickup, and a weight of 4200lbs versus the 551 at 2680 lbs, I bet that baler of yours really eats hay.
Cool! Thanks for the info. It has pretty good capacity, but your 551 seems to be moving along at a pretty good clip!
@@troyslant1582 yeah it has good capacity, the only thing I would like different is a wider pickup, otherwise it's a good machine.
Where is that auction located looks like a fun one to attend
In Rock Creek, MN.
Beautiful Country!
Have you considered using a formal super m or regular m for some light work?
I use to have a M , good tractor but used a lot of gas, the 560 is nice because of the better hydraulics and live Power, but it also likes the gas.
@@trinitydairy yeah 10-4 I know that's right I used to work for a cripple gentleman who had a farm he used the M and Oliver Minneapolis Molines and a small H sadly he passed on and his son sold the farm.
@@chrisbennett8538 I also had a H and that was a good tractor, I would like to find a super 88 Oliver.
How many bales do you put up a year?
The barn floor is getting tired, so we only do around 1500, we also small square bale straw if we have any.
What was in that hay mix there?
The first field is older seeding, some alfalfa and orchard grass but a lot of other stuff has come in, the second field is a mix of alfalfa, orchard grass, Timothy, and clover.
Yum, good cow milking fuel there.
What model Case tractor is running the baler?
830
What rpm are you running on the baler?
I'm not sure, the tach doesn't work on that tractor, but I run it about three quarter throttle.
Was that a big consignment sale?
With the Covid it was the first one of the year. There was quite a bit of stuff, but they've had larger sales in years past.
@@trinitydairy where abouts do they have it? It's been awhile since I've been up your way in MN. A few weeks ago I had to go to north Branch to Larson equipment to get some parts
It's in Rock Creek, just South of Pine City. West side of I-35. Heidelberger equipment. It's also Central Livestock, where we take our cull cattle.
@@trinitydairy o ok thanks! I know that place, I started sending my beef an steers their last year an were vary happy. How far are you from their?
We're about 45 minutes North of there. We've been real happy bringing anything there.
What did the new holland choppers go for. And where was this action at
And did you get any rain Thursday
I think the 782 with both heads was 1,300, and 790 with corn head was 1,000. About a tenth of an inch of rain Thursday
@@trinitydairy that's cheap. I need a good corn head for my 770 and we got around 2 inches by perham
@@dakotamcclendon5766 that's a nice rain. I will keep an eye out for a head. I'm heading home from Wisconsin, just bought a 790 New Holland.
@@trinitydairy 822 would do me fine and I think the 770 and 790 and about the same chopper
U sure that's a farmall. Looks like a case
The tractor on the baler is a Case, the one on the rake is a Farmall.
i use 5 ez trail basket's , no help
My uncle bought the first one I ever saw many years ago, his fields were close to home, so he could dump 3 loads by the elevator, then run them in the barn later, I would like to get a couple more so I could bale more without stopping, if I didn't have help.thanks for watching!
