  • Making Hay near East Earl Pennsylvania | Raking & Baling
    In this video I am out in a field near Lancaster Pennsylvania with a Deutz Fahr 4080 Tractor pulling a Vermeer 2800 hay rake. After they rake up the hay they come back out in the field with a Deutz Fahr 5080 Tractor pulling a New Holland 311 Hayliner small square baler. They are then stacking the hay in the wagon to take in an unload in their barn. This hay will be used to feed cattle and horses.

    My favorite part was the look on the stacker's face as the bale went flying past, missing the wagon completely, on the corner. Been there, done that! 😳😅🤣

    Thank you for visiting Pennsylvania! My uncle lived in East Earl before he moved to New Holland. I grew up in Bucks County 60 mi east of East Earl. I live in Northeastern Pennsylvania now. We still do some small square baling. Send us some more videos from Pennsylvania!

    Nice to see you in our home state. Nice video,thanks. When i was young Dad baled all cuttings small square. Only started chopping haylage in 79. Now large squares. Actually enjoyed it,working together with cousins. I started driving 444 Massy Harris at the baler when i was 7,Dad stacked. He bought a new 4020 in 69 shortly thereafter i was promoted to the barn,sister got baler duty. Interesting she chewed gum in time with the baler plunger.

    I remember having one when I was a kid on the back of the bailer when we used to tumble pile in the enclosed wagons until we bought our first pull type bale wagon a 1033 new holland then went to a 1049 self propelled bale wagon traded this one off for a 1069 self propelled wagon

    Only about 10 miles from me, a lot of agriculture in this area. Thanks for visiting

    You don't want to have your back turned at close range to that baler when one of those bales comes flying out, getting hit by a 40 to 60 pound bale in the chest or back can flat knock you down or knock you off the wagon to the ground if you don't have tall railings around it! LOL We had a Kneib popup bale loader for our flatbed hay trucks and they worked pretty nicely as long as you didn't have super heavy bales. Loved baling hay, nothing like the smell of fresh cut and baled hay, especially Alfalfa. Thanks Mike !

    I really like the vintage farm equipment still going. Yes, I saw the look when the bail was just out of reach.

    Hope you went to Shady Maple while you were there. Also, a great tour at the New Holland plant just a few miles down the road

      Shady Maple is over rated these days. The food quality is not near what it used to be. I’d go to Yoders in New Holland, Dieners, or even Millers in Ronks before I go back to Shady Maple. Really, just need to find some small old school diners. They are around, just need to know where to look.

    Growing up never had one of them baler that throwed hay seems like an easy way of doing it

    Good video, but hard work, pleased we have large round balers for most of it these days. Regards from Down Under.

    Really heavy windrows...wouldn't take long to load a wagon. Sure is beautiful farm country in that area. I've been there several times over the years on family vacations. Some of the Mennonites in our part of N. Central Ohio have roots in that region of Pa.

    Couple of times there I could see the worker on the trailer standing in the wrong place, and found myself thinking; "You really don't want to be standing there bud..." and then a bale came flying toward him and he had to dodge. Not sure I'd want to take my eye of that machine for a second if I'm on the trailer.

  • @chadpaider1009

    I still don't understand why anyone would stack a kick baler wagon. You might get a few more in the wagon but is it worth the extra labor? That was the good thing about a kicker bailer only one person to do the job in the field. Just my thoughts

    • @benjaminlandis3680
      @benjaminlandis3680 Před 19 dny

      It is easier to unload a wagon that has been stacked. It also works well if you don't have enough help to unload the wagons while you bale.

  • @BRPFan
    @BRPFan Před 20 dny +1

    That bale ejector sure would make stacking a hay rack a heck of a lot easier than hand picking them off the ground! You have to make hay when the sun is shining and dang was it hot up in the hip roofed barns hay loft! Oh the good old days growing up on a farm!! Hey Mike do you know what kind of solution they were spraying the hay with? Thanks for the video! 👍

    • @farmhandmike
      @farmhandmike  Před 20 dny +1

      They were not putting anything on the hay while I was here.

    • @BRPFan
      @BRPFan Před 20 dny +1

      @@farmhandmike I see! Just saw that liquid tank with some sort of solution behind the twine box, thought maybe they were adding something to the hay.

  • @missflowerpower8724
    @missflowerpower8724 Před 20 dny

    I saw one bale fly apart in mid-air! What happened?

    • @benjaminlandis3680
      @benjaminlandis3680 Před 19 dny

      One of the knots did not tie. The bale came out of the bale thrower with only one string that was tied. That happens occasionally.

  • @halfwayfarmsandoutdoors3550

    Baling hay on the internet is equivalent to welding on the internet.

    Hi Mike, my name is Roan. I'm a 34 year old South African seeking employment on farms in USA. I was wondering if you perhaps hire foreign workers under the H2A visa program? Any info would be much appreciated.
