How to Hay Small Acreage
Vložit

- It used to be difficult to justify the cost of putting up hay if you only have a few acres. You had to get a huge baler and a swather, and that can get expensive. But not anymore!
Varner Equipment has a package deal that's tailor made for homeowners, horse enthusiasts, and farmers who have 5 to 20 acres and want to plant hay without hiring help!
Check out this video where Devin shows how you can cut, rake, and bale using a small 47 horse power tractor. Turn your field into small, manageable round bales that you can feed to your animals.
Go to VarnerEquipment.com to check out everything else we have!
I think the mower and rake would be awesome, as for the baler though, i feel at that point it would be easier just to get a small square baler. 😂👍❤️
I can honestly say that's the first time I've ever seen a round bailer airborn 😂 great video sir.
Great video. Thank you
Love that bailer y'all!!!
I run a Deere 1209 haybnie. A 2 wheel rake. NH 271 baler with a bale basket towed behind. With a Kioti DK45 no problem
Looks cute and neat but I think the worn out antiques are more in my price bracket and I'm good at fixing worn out stuff so I think I'll live by my means lol
Nice machine
Better yet buy some good used older real sized equipment for half the price.
we have a lot of hobby farms around here I bale 5x5 rolls im buying one of these I couldn't tell you how many times people have asked me for smaller rolls for their goats and ponies.
That’s how I started…and why I am now buying new and smaller. As an older fellow I was alright with climbing in and around the older tractor and impliments fixing this, replacing that, sharpening and asking a mechanic about the other but in the end I was a half time farmer and half time mechanic. With new smaller equipment I am a farmer who can come back in the evenings to do an hour of maintenance.
Would love this
thank you,,,
Nice
Wow mate you need a Harley power rake over your place to clean up the rocks, good vid though
Cheers from Aus
What is the weight/size of the bales and does the baler come with net wrap?
Hey Bob, this mini baler makes 20x28 round bales, and they weigh between 50 and 100 pounds. It uses 9600/170 twine and comes with one sample roll. Great questions! Thanks for watching!
If you have a small farm operation (which is why you'd buy these in the first place) the payback period for this equipment is so long that it makes no sense to buy it. Somehow the equipment needs to get cheaper or it just makes no sense for anyone who can do math.
Can't find this set on your site
Saw you watching the bailor (sp) how do you know when it is full? How does it know to tie off?
A buzzer goes off when the tie is started, it knows to tie based on the size of the bale. Thanks for your question!
If I had the cash I'd could get into bailing hay like this.
Interesting but think you would be better off buying used square bailer
How do you get the bales nice and tight
do you sell packages
47hp will run a small square baler and they r easy as the round to handle but will store and keep so much better, sickle mower and a side delivery rake will get u started for 3-5 thousand and the rake is twice as fast
I just got into this myself and found a New Holland 273 only needs 17 HP to run efficiently. I am still repairing the side rake so don't have a total cost, but so far between a JD 1209 mower, NH 273 baler and an IH 35 rake I am all set to mow, rake and square bale for $4K. While I could run it all with my 2001 Kubota B2410, I got a deal on a new L4060HSTC, so will have two tractors that will save time since I can mow with the big one, switch over to the baler, rake with the small one and pull a trailer behind it as I bale. My biggest outlay is on the tractor, but it does much more than just hay, and needed a bigger tractor anyway. The baler needs NO work, just some paint, the mower needs a bearing installed, which was included with the sale. The rake got damaged transporting it home and required the left drive axle to be replaced.
I was really hoping this video would give a true representation of the equipment. Let me know if you remake in a grass field and give some actual setup and maintenance too
I have small hay equipment similar to this. I love it for my small time operation. What questions you got?
@@travnat1 I got two questions.
1, Appears each bale needs manual discharge?
....seems time attention
2, How do you stack round bales in the barn?
...I'm old school, Sq bales
Can I use these with a Huskavarna riding mower?
No, you need a PTO
Have a New Holland TC30 tractor how much to get equipment to do the hay and can it be done?
At this time, the price for everything shown is $12,180, and your TC30 could run all these implements just fine!
That tractor will run all the old eq uipment and at a quarter of the price
Where you location do I like to buy one dose cutter tank.s
Hello Could you send some info on the mini round balers 2050 3rd st. ne Bemidji MN 56601 thank you
Good luck stacking those round bales!
thewest newyorker,
I worked many summers back in the 70's haying over 600 acres with the original round bales/baler
Stacking on a wagon or in the mow wasn't complicated, you just have to be smarter than the hay!
Farmers stack round bales every year.
Can you tell me, please, if there is a market for such bales? I could see it being great for fall decorations, homestead farmers with 1-2 cows, etc. Any help to educate me on getting a return for my investment would be great!
It depends on your area. This set up is mostly for hobby farmers, or farmers with only a few acres. This small round baler is a little more cost effective than a brand new small square baler. You can purchase used small square balers for around this price, but they may have more maintenance than a new baler.
Hay to Carry to horse shows for a few days of feeding or hay for cows at fairs and cattle shows.
How much would a 60 lb bale cost?
I'm Anthony buying a farm soon how find equipment like that I live Houston texas
How do you get bale out when shear bolt broke bale packed to tight.
We have had some customers with this problem. To fix: Open the gate and use the valve to lock the gate up. Then use a saws-all or chainsaw to cut it out.
2 of the 3 pieces of equipment that you show, use the 3 point hitch. I don't have that on my tractor. Do you make the mower and he rake in pull behind?
Unfortunately, there aren't any options for pull behind. There is a pull behind caddy that could be an adaptor for you, but those can run $8000 or more.
Buy the older qu
Equipment ad it’s all pull behind, checked over so it’s in good shape and it will out last all the new stuff with no electrical problems
The dirt!
What's the advantage of a small round bale? I can tell right away it uses alot more twine than a equally sized square one would.
with a 47hp tractor, you can almost run, or maybe run, a regular, small-ish square baler.
We ran standard small square bales with a 27hp gas tractor from the 1950's for 40 yrs on the farm. 47hp would barely noticed a square baler.
47 you can run a Kuhn drum.
I have a 43 hp TYM and baled with a model 47 for 8 years with no problem.
We ran a New Holland super 69 with kicker on hilly ground behind a Ford 8n for many years on hills in upstate NY. Today's lawn mowers have more horse power than 8N had grant it we only used 10 foot hay wagons behind baler and tractor knew when they were getting full. These pieces are over priced toys for people with more money than brains just the price of the baler and the belt rake you could buy a decent used older hay operation including tractor. For the whole operation shown here including tractor you are up in the 50,000 range or more you can buy a good used 100+ horse tractor and all the other needed equip to bale hay for far less money. I just got an International 1466 with 4000hrs and a nice New Holland 7450 mower from our neighbor that is retiring for $16,000 that is pretty much the price of just the baler shown here.
@@mrbrown3462 Did Mike ever put that other dual wheel on?
Would like to see how big of a bale it would do.
Dwight Young the bales r sitting on the ground in front of him
Watch the video again bud
How much does the 3 pcs. Cost
About 15k
Is it ok to do it with an 80 hp tractor?
We have ran into this a couple times. Both times you could use the mower and the rake no problem but the baler had a hard time hooking up and the drive line sat at a really steep angle on the baler. So to answer your question the mower and the rake would work fine but I wouldn't recommend the baler for that size of tractor.
So for the same weight bale, I have to stop, tie, then dump, then start going again?? Seems counter productive, with the small square baler you have no stopping, sorry seems more like a gimmick or a neat toy
BINGO. Just for rich horse 🐎 people, with no horse sense
Why not just use a square baler?
You definitely could, Scott! These round balers are one great option that seem to be a bit easier for hobby farmers to use and maintain!
@@VarnerEquipment the older style 3pt square balers (from the late 70's to late 80's - when you hand Red&yellow New Holland) I think they are great for hobby farmers /small holders / small farming. Small round balers whilst easier initially have alot of parts to go wrong and fair bit of maintenance. The old style ones like this...i.ebayimg.com/images/g/Po0AAOSwrndcbxPw/s-l400.jpg are brilliant.
@@mwnciboo the problem with square balers is when the knoters give you problems. had knotes drive me nuts for 2 yrs, went to a mini round like this and yes it takes more time per bale, but way less headache.
How to hay small acreage:
1. Get tens & tens & tens of thousands of dollars
2. Sell all the hay you manage to bale every year for about 250 bucks
3. Rethink your life
Emailed your company and never got a reply....not sure the reason for your marketing videos?
Hey Brian, we work hard to answer all our emails, yours must have slipped through or ended up in spam. Devin said you're welcome to email him directly at devin@varnerequipment.com. Have a good day.
When u say small acreage u mean small
Why r u cutting so slow can that mower cut any faster
These mowers can cut about as fast as you can drive. Watch our video here: czcams.com/video/Rhj9BgJ6usg/video.html to see a more in depth example of how they work. Thanks!
Doufám, že takhle zaprášeným senem nebudete krmit!
To je seno s hlínou 1:1, dobré leda do kompostu.
this should be how not to do small acreage hay. For just the price of the the baler displayed here you could buy an older larger tractor and and a fulsize decent older square baler and for the price of the belt rake you could buy a wheel or rola bar rake and tedder. this miniture toy collection isn't cheap. Just for 2 pieces out of this collection you can buy a complete hay operation including a tractor that you could actually go out and do a hundred acres if you need to.
They are cute little boogers... but i can only handle square for me...the cost would do me in..also if this is just someone who has a big grassy lawn..i would not buy it...might not be good for my horse...it could have Johnson grass in it...weed killer sprayed on it...or could have been done by someone with more money, but not very knowledgeable about hay for

Too much dirt / dust put into the windrow !
Sure is! As stated in the video, this field is one we use to park machines. At the time we recorded this video, this was the only hay ready to cut. When the field has normal density, you won't see the dirt and dust flying up!
could have at least bailed some nice hay instead of weeds
You have to be mad at your money.
