Making Small Square Bales! With A John Deere 5085M & John Deere 328 Baler

- A couple of weeks back we were baling some second crop alfalfa, and for the first time we tried the 5085M on the baler. It handled it fine, and we put up some nice, but older hay (the wet weather this year had really made it a challenge to make anything that involved 'dryness'....).
One thing about making little bales is that you still have to put your back into it!
The year before we baled with the John Deere 6300 on the baler: • Baling Hay! With A Joh...

I love that John Deere baler sound.
yeah - evocative af
I have the same set up(same tractor and baler) without the hay wagon. I don't use a kicker but instead I have about 5-6 young men pick it up, haul it in and stack it. It's hard work and usually on the hottest day. I think they love it! They always come back with friends. Great guys! Memories of hard work build character and grit! BTW, I am the farm girl who runs the operation.
It's a decent setup!
Did it just this way for many years- brings back fond memories. We used to bale in the afternoons till all the wagons were full- then unload em in the morning after chores- when it wasn't so HOT! Our girls used to LOVE second cutting clover hay.
If we can, we'll save a few wagons to unload when it's cooler out! But the cows definitely appreciate all the work it is.
I grew up next to a field outside of Carlshamn in Sweden and got to see many agricultural machines working for a whole 16 years. The baling machine was cool, among other things, because it was like a "rolling drum machine." Also what memories and nostalgia it brings. 🚜🔊🥁🎼🎶⏳️❤️😁
@@Sebastian_George that's cool to hear!
We did not have throw wagons or bale thrower baler. We had an old Case (pre-Case IH days) baler and open MF 265 tractor doing the baling. Mom would drive tractor. I would stack the wagons (usually we could do 8-10 wagons per day). I usually got 200 or so bales per wagon (5 per layer, 7 layers high, 6 rows = 210 14x18x40" bales). My day was the only other person over 6' that could unload. He would unload the wagons and my 3 sisters would be up in the hot barn stacking up there. I would "eat" so much alfalfa/red clover dust/chaff. It may have looked funny, but I would have a nice hat on, set of good leather gloves, shorts & good sneakers to not slip on the wagons. I can still smell the hay! I miss those days of being a teenager on the farm.
Wow, you guys could really handle a lot of bales in a day! It isn't very often we have to stack bales in the wagon, but we do once in awhile. Stacking in the barn though is a lot more common!
That classic John Deere bailer sound.
whoah it proper yeets em
as a ranch hand of 47 years I have got to admit!! them bales flyin threw the air! had me laughin like a dam Lil tike! lol I have bailed N hauled N stacked hay all my life boys and I honestly have never!! seen a setup like you folks got there!! dam that's some good twine! lol ty for this vid! fellers!!
Haha, thanks! That's funny, because around here nearly all the little balers have kickers or throwers on them.
Che spettacolo!le balle che volano e non sbagliano un colpo!!
Enjoy this channel .. did that a LOT in Central Illinois when I was in my teens .. nearly everyday in the summer .. worked on a hay crew !! thanks for the vids !! Gary
Yeah it keeps you busy when you're at it! Thanks for watching!
That last part is how you build some solid muscle.
wow! never had it that easy when I was young working on the farm, great video thanks.
Hey, thanks for watching!

Good video! Thank you for sharing! Still alot of hard work there, even with the bale thrower, wagon with no stacker(s) and conveyor.
Yeah there's definitely still some work!
I call that the John Deere baler and bale yeeter
Good job! Hay may be older maturity, but at least it is dry and green, and that's always better than rained on.
Definitely!
o'K. Farmer l,
wauw
o'K. Farmer ..
Awesome video keep up the great work
Thanks, and I'll keep posting videos!
Good that is what I am doing on my channel I have a video idea for you
+Travis Dusenbury What's the video idea?
I was thinking that you could make a milking video sometime but if you can't that is ok
+Travis Dusenbury I'll have to!
What do you do with all the hay that was raked up durin' the off load? Put it through the baler again or just feed it to your livestock by the fork?
We just fed it to the cows right away. There was a couple of broken bales on that load...
We always just pushed it to the side, then kicked it off into the hay feeders in the pasture.
If there are only a couple of bales, we will just feed it
Where did you guys get the bale thrower and will it work on other males of balers
The thrower was an option from Deere, though New Holland actually had a different type of thrower option on their balers. I imagine it would work on other males with some fabricating. The thrower itself is a hydraulic ram powering a steel pan that gets triggered to 'kick' as a bale moves across it. It is all ran by a hydraulic pump.
How much would the baler and tractor cost? Inquiring from Nairobi, Kenya
Is that an old Suzuki in the background behind the hay wagon?
Yep, good eyes! It's an old 1992 King Quad.
+Farm Grown, Country Strong on CZcams those are good bikes. My dad had a 1987 lt230 for years, then a quad runner 250 for years, now have a Vinson 500 and a newer King quad 500. They've outlasted any other bike we've ever had.
+Christopher Williams. It's been a great 4-wheeler. I forget the miles, but it's been reliable as anything!
Awesome Video. You are blessed to have such nice equipment. How many acres does your family Farm?
It's definitely a blessing. We're farming 200 acres in Northeast Wisconsin right now.
Wow on 200 acres. That's awesome. Thanks for all the videos. May you have continued success in all your future farming operations.
Thanks, and thanks for following!
You should buy a John Deere G love the videos
A G is on the list :)
How many bales on a load.
I think I would put one or two guys in back where they could stack hay as its being thrown, more to the load
We do that sometimes, but that day we were just hauling across the road so we weren't packing the loads too much. It was only a two man operation that day too lol
Ok
Lol, good luck finding help.
Does the thrower bend the bales when they hit the wagon??
Not too much. For the first few bales that are kicked into the wagon, we'll set the kicker low so it's more easier on the bales. Otherwise they hold together fine.
Nice looking farm!!! What state/area are you from?
We're up in Northeast Wisconsin, a little north of Green Bay!
Farm Grown, Country Strong Hi, could please tell me how much this machine has been costed?
I feel sorry for he person in the hay loft, that is a hot nasty job.
It's warm up there!
Yep, been there done that.
Ben, same here
And they always have wasps to deal with. At least we did back in the 1960's when I was growing up.
Nice video and I am a John Deere fan and I was wondering if you could make a living off of just hay farming and have a nice day
I think you could, but I think it would be hard to do. A person can make 30,000 little bales and sell them for $2.50/bale and get $75,000 gross, but paying for equipment upkeep, fuel, fertilizers, etc. would really cut into that fast. You can find some good markets for hay too though. Some farmers are willing to pay $10+ for premium quality hay. We have purchased hay in the past from farmers in Montana, and I believe making hay is the only thing they did.
I gotcha and thank you for your opinion and have a nice new year
david travis Same to you!
Thank you
david travis n
how many balls in a trailer ?
A little over 150 with the kicker kicking them in.
that is torture at $2.50-3 a bale this year
