    In this video we are baling the first hay of 2023. In the last video we aborted baling due to high stem moisture. I’m this video we are down to our last drying day and have to bale either way. The hay dried pretty well but for some added insurance I use preservative to ensure I don’t have spoilage. Dad is baling with the New Holland 326 square baler and Oliver 1650 diesel. I’m stacking with the New Holland 1032 Stackliner and Deutz 6150. I also stack the hay in the new lean to addition with the Gehl 6635 skidsteer with my small square squeeze.
    Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy.

    Great video. I've never seen one of those stack wagons in action. Nice, certainly a future consideration!

      Thanks for watching. I have grown to like that stacker actually. The first year was a little rough just figuring everything out on it and becoming efficient with it.

    I haven't seen a twine baler since 1959 in a John Deere 14T model. Dad started farming in 1969 and raised all his hay for Dairy Cows over on the Coast of Washington. Everything to be hauled over the mountains had to be wire tied . He bought 3 John Deere 214 WS balers and put up 1000 acres of alfalfa 4 cuttings a year. We maintained a bale weight of 115 to 125 pounds a piece. I enjoyed your video.

      Really! Man just the opposite here, wire tie balers are kind of a thing of the past. I've actually never even seen a wire tie baler working in person. Everything locally is all twine tie. There are a few hold overs from the old dairy farms to the north and west of me that still run wire but that's about it. That's pretty neat to hear from others and how different things are done from region to region.

      Thanks. We have hay that really needs to be cut in the next two weeks before it gets too far along. Hopefully we start getting some decent windows shortly.

    I’ve started mine too here in North Alabama!!! Just got the upper side cut this evening & it’s supposed to rain tonight, so I guess it’ll get washed, but that’s what they make tedders for right?

    • @thebalerman
      @thebalerman  Před rokem +1

      Yep Tedder will definitely help with rained on hay. And if it’s fresh cut when it rains it won’t affect the hay that much. Hopefully you don’t continue getting rain

    Fantastic looking hay. Any reason for not doing a tie tier on your Stackliner? Maybe you do, I just couldn’t tell.

    • @thebalerman
      @thebalerman  Před rokem

      I haven’t had any luck with the tie tiers on the 1032. And for them to be close to working the bales have to be too long. So I use the wires to tie my stacks. The wires work way better than tie tiers anyway.

    • @frfarmranch3837
      @frfarmranch3837 Před rokem +1

      @@thebalerman That makes sense. I also run a 1032 and I found that using your tie-tier on the 5th layer rather than the 6th works better for my hay. I run a New Holland 575 baler and it makes super tight bales, also why the tie tiers probably work for me. But I get what you’re saying.

    • @thebalerman
      @thebalerman  Před rokem

      Yeah I use a 326 and 575. Make rock solid bales. Tie tier just doesn’t work out well with 36” or shorter bales. Also the reverse tie doesn’t always work well and if you don’t do that that back of the stack will fall apart. With the wire I can dump loads anywhere it’s flat. I drop them in the field and load trailers and wagons and then at the years and stack in barns the stacker won’t fit in.

  • @farmingforfunandprofit940

    How long are your bales?...... We went upstate and bought 245 bales of Alfafa and come home a were lucky enough that the J.D. baler the man used didn't make the bales too long to run thru our Bale Baron.....Only hands on was feeding them into the Baron..... The Bundles are mechanically handled with a loader..

    • @thebalerman
      @thebalerman  Před rokem

      We make our bales about 38" to work well with the stacker. We are going to try to go to 36" this year and see if the stacker will work well with that size. With us not using tie tiers I think it may work with the shorter bales. We will see.

      @@thebalerman Marcrest Mfg Sends a bale length guage along with each Baron......Optimum bale lenght is about 34 in.....anything over 36 may create a jam where the Primary bale plunger starts the bale into the bundlle chamber followed by the secondary plunger that finishes adding the bale to the 3 stack,,,, Most Stoppage issues can be corrected with a minimum of downtime..

      Thanks for the feedback. I have done no speaking videos before and they were a flop not to mention that's not my style. I like to explain what's going on and what I'm doing because not everyone knows. Also it lets those that also do hay learn from what I'm doing whether its mistakes I make or things I do that work out. So you're welcome to stick around and watch my videos but if that's what you're looking for there are other videos out there.

    • @thebalerman
      @thebalerman  Před rokem

      I’d say one year to get the hang of it and be efficient with it. You always get better but it definitely takes time before you’re happy you bought one haha. At first I was ready to park it. My suggestion is to bale some and then stack to be fine with Tom make sure your bales are set right. Length weight density moisture all have an affect. You need to make the bales to where you really wouldn’t want to pick them up by hand to work well with the stacker.
