Fourth season with one of these bailers now. Took a bit to learn how but very happy with the results now. Total about 3500 bales so far. Best with the heavier hemp based twine but still good with the poly string too. MUST blow dust out regularly while baleing and MUST clean adjust and oil chains etc before winter storage. Found a lot of horse people and small acreage owners who prefer these small round bales over the square ones.
Me to. I baled 6,280 last year and 10,000 over the course of 2 years. People love them!
There is a Japanese, Italian and Chinese small round bailers out there as well. I prefer the twine to the netwrap so this would be good for me.
Is there an option for the quick hitch?
Where can i get plans for these?
if we dont rake it up will it still work and just take longer? We have some field that a larger baler wont fit
Yes, as long as it's cut with a drum mower. You can bale directly from the cut those mowers make.
@@VarnerEquipment what does a drum mower cost?
Making quality hay is far more complex, resource-intensive, and stressful than hobbyists imagine. When your equipment breaks down-- and eventually it will-- baling operations grind to a complete halt. A surprise rainstorm blows in and soaks your hay, and you lose it all and must then clean up and dispose of the mess. Mow your 10-acre yard with a zero-turn, continue to buy your hay from professionals, and save yourself the headaches.
So the baler slides side ways when you turn??
Hey Brad, the baler is hooked up by a 3 point hitch, so it can (and should) be lifted off the ground when you turn. Thanks for your question!
@@VarnerEquipment So what happens when you turn to do the headlands or to go around something?
@@justinsmith6118 On headlands, it won't hurt anything to leave it down on the 3 point, but if you were going to turn around and come back up a field row, you'll want to lift it.
Toy for wanna be farmers with too much money. Or more likely big dreams and equally big credit lines
So if your cutting hay on 0.5-10 acres how long does it take to pay off $7k. Of course the mower, rake, fuel, parts and maintenance. Twine. Etc. Are on top of that.
If you're buying because it's a fun toy then none of this matters. Bit if you're trying to justify it as a business expense,. Stop because you won't.
Thanks for your comment. Most of these are sold to hobby farmers that want to be able to process their own hay for their animals with a smaller tractor. Definitely not the most cost effective option for large operations.
In our area, we're seeing more of smaller 10-15 acre farms than large operations and this set up works pretty well for them.
I’d consider it if I was going to be doing some custom bales for a person or client that has that smaller acreage. That way you could just roll the whole rig up onto your trailer and shoot to the next job.
Not really if you think about it with hay prices right now. Not everyone has equipment to move big round bales once delivered. I bet you could get good coin for one of those small round bales. You could fit them in the bed of a truck or even a large suv.
I think you missed the point... Small farms can't get any idy to do their field, it's about that simple.... We have six acre and nobody will touch it(about 4.5 field).... So we buy hay and the hay guy runs out, or charges more because supply is down and...... This would offer a great option for us to be independent of the volatile hay market(hay guys rule the world you know😂)
