- We catch up with the Galusha Farms operation as they wind-row and bale newly cut hay. A Ford 6610 Tractor and a Kuhn GA 7302 DL Rotary Rake handle the wind-rowing chores. Then we switch locations to watch a New Holland 8670 Tractor towing a New Holland BC5070 Hayliner Square Baler followed by the interesting Model 100 Bale Band-it.
The Bale Band-it takes small bales directly from the New Holland baler and combines them into a larger 21 bale bundle. The unit can unload on the go; ready to be stacked and hauled away.
The field was cut with a New Holland HW365, shown in a video from last year. • Galusha Farm - New Hol...

Thanks to the Galusha Farm folks for their cooperation.
We've been using one since they first came out. Saves so much time and is so much more convenient. Worth the money too.
Like everyone else, I've never seen something like that. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Thank _you_ for watching.

I have a friend that makes high quality hay for horses and uses the same model of Bale Band It. As he explained to me, the reason he uses it is because it allows him to use less labor to put up the hay and allows the buyer to move the large bale into position and use hand labor to feed to the horses. Idk, how he explained it to me.
Great stuff bill!
Thanks much.

My first time seeing, too. Thanks for watching.

We're in the UK and we run two!
Would think in Europe you would more likely see a Bale Baron.
cool farming video its rea cool
Looking for tips... My father just passed away and I am trying to keep things running at least this year. I now hAve the same rack and baler that I see in the video. Any suggestions that I could use? I have not farmed for 15 years and things are starting to come back to me but something I never did so any tips are helpful.
Would it be more economical to upgrade to a larger square baler?
the bale band-it is an interesting labor saving machine...how do you collect the hay to put into the barn? Also that NH BC5070 looks like it can handle a good size windrow. Have you used other brands of balers?
Oft as not a tractor with a loader using bale spears, pallet forks , or bale clamps. Anything that can load large squares will work.

What is the liquid on the tank on the baler?
I was wondering the same exact thing. never saw that ( The liquid tank on the baler) nor a bale bandit, As a kid I used to walk behind the baler all day and put the bales on a trailer, I wish my uncle had on of these back then,
giodazip At least I''m not the only one who does not what the tank is for. I thought some hay farmer type might enlighten us.
It is an inoculant tank that puts a preservative on the hay.
Michael Sekavec Thanks Michael for answering this question. Now at least three of us including you know what the tank is for. :)
really, I would of never guessed that, preservative on hay. Thanks!

My last name is related to a farm; ironic, I know.
