  • We haul bales in and test out the new trailer's capacity to see how many we can fit without a top row!

    CURRENT SCHEDULE
    Expect a new video every Sunday at 11AM Central!
    How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    Thank you for strapping down every single bale! I've been on the receiving end of bales falling off a trailer and rolling down a hill that then rolled completely over my car. Just because you "lock the front and back down" doesn't mean the rest of them will stay.

    One thing I have always liked about this channel is how you always use skid steers to move bales. I remember well the old Bobcat 773. Why wear out your tractors going back and forth to move bales when you can let them do the baling and field work and use the machine designed for loading and unloading. I guess with the dry weather hay will be in short supply later.

    Round balers sure made hay making alot faster.I bought a JD 500 in the mid 70's. It sure was not what JD makes now. The 500 got the job done but it did not like wet grass hay.Nothing look better than a field full of green round bales!! Thanks 😊.

  • @adamsherm29
    @adamsherm29 Před rokem +2

    Have you guys looked into a bale carrier for the back of the baler? Brian and Cole Sonne use one and they see a massive difference when they pick up. It allows them to keep a majority of the bales in a specific part of the field.

    • @RogerW9421
      @RogerW9421 Před rokem +1

      The bale carrier you refer to is called an accumulator, and can carry a total of 3 bales outside +1 inside.

      Since he is strapping every one any way he could fit 22 on that trailer but he better get a bigger pickup!
      We haul thousands of bales a year like he is doing or with an extra row down the top and never throw a strap.

    @brentkelsay3439 Před rokem

    When I was a teenager we'd haul small square bales, sometimes my uncle would do small round bales with his old Allis Chalmers Roto Baler and we'd break out the hay hooks. When he upgraded to a New Holland big round baler hauling hay got a lot easier and more fun haha! But I also missed hauling hay with my buddies. 🚜

      @chucklesx Před rokem

      Wouldn't be any real advantage. They are both roughly the same HP so will use about same in fuel and the IVT in the 79 will need a refurbishment after way less hours than the powershift in the 82

      Yep, then one strap over the top of the bales for any distance or just one strap in the back to keep them from coming off the back if a short trip.

      If he had a big enough pickup he could have put 10 more bales on top since he was strapping anyway. That's how we load semis for long trips. Short trips just 1 row on top and no straps needed.

    That's a waste of time and waste of a truck if you're not then go 2 high. I wouldn't waste time straping if the 2nd row wasn't 2 wide. And If it wasn't over 20 miles 1 way. I can do that many with a bale trailer.

    You have shewn how well the JCB improves your productivity. Two bales at a time without driving to each side of the trailer. How much time do you save compared to conventional skidsteers Ryan?
