I hope you really know what a lucky young man you are living this kind of life. You don't need me to tell you that though, as we can all hear it in the excitement in your voice and you always seem eager to get in there and fix it and get right to work those long hours. You cant do that kind of stuff if you don't love it. I am quite jealous to be honest. As a 1st gen farmer I've fought tooth and nail for over 20 years to get any kind of farming operation going in these rocky little hills and valleys that grow houses faster than anything else. I haven't got that many more good physical years left so I've been going all out lately and just about begging land, equipment, sheds, barns, and cows. To no avail so far but there's always tomorrow.
@@boehmfarm4276 Thanks for the kind words. It's odd these people, they build in healthy farm fields and then pay some lawncare contractor to come in and mow, vacuum, fertilize, set up sprinkler systems, and everything to keep it looking like a golf course, and only spend 2 weeks out of the year at this house while the rest of the time is spent in NYC or NJ. Sometimes I wish we could build a wall not by Mexico, but along I87 and 90 (the major interstates that get these people into our land)
Good luck with the baler, traded up to a old krone KR120 4 x 4 net wrap, they are a roller baler. Does a great job like the chain balers. Cheers from Australia
We had an 848 for years. We ran 35 to 40 psi in the bags. It will pack a good tight bale and not wear out the chains too fast if you run the pressure there. I was thinking it made a 4x5 also. I run a 654 NH now. If you ever go to a belt baler, you'll never go back. The belts will bale anything the chains will, twice as fast.
@@boehmfarm4276 I'm in northeast Alabama. Our terrain looks a lot like yours. A big hay patch is 20 acres. Most of mine are 5 to 10 acres. I bale with a 766 IH. In heavy hay, maybe 4th. I was baling some late Bahia grass yesterday in 6th. The belts are nice, but the chain baler is a great baler too. I've never seen one with net. I look forward to your videos of it working. I did see one with a wide pickup, and I thought that was uncommon. Hope you have the best of luck. I'll dig around and see if I can find an old owners manual on the 848. I used to have one, but no promises. I'll mail it to you if I can find it.
@@boehmfarm4276 LOL:) I bale almost everything in sixth gear (6mph) with my 40 year old Ford 552 (Gehl 1500) belt baler... 5x5.5-6 foot bales. Slowest I've ever baled was 5th gear... Later! OL J R :)
I have an old Ford new holland book of the era that mentions that these balers had net wrap. That's the only way I know that the pre Rollabelt balers had the option. There are many people on here who know abot net wrap through experience, I'm not one of them, some day I want one! The Gehl has a similar system for tension. It's like a water pressure tank for the house. Works good!
My Papaw always the run the needle on the gauge until 1 30. I can remember the numbers on the gauge but whatever number is at 130 always made great rolls. That ole NH probably had 60,000 bales threw it when it retired
we have a 4 by 4 new holland 630 belt baler bought new 28 years ago or there about. we replaced 1 hydraulic line 1 tire and teeth and 2 belts since we bought it new. my neighbor said the bales WONT weigh up. i met him at the scale one day my 3rd cutting were weighing 894 a bale his 3rd 5by 5 bales were weighing 918 a bale
Not sure if they’re the same Goodyear bags my 855 had on it, but I’d bet so. Shoup used to have them for half of dealer price, same bag. Truck shops can get them cheaper than CNH will sell them to you as well. They last a long time if they stay shedded.
I gave you a like as I always do but this saddens me a little because my favorite thing about your content is the square bale video’s, I hope you still have a need for some square’s in the future! Stay safe and keep well. I love y’all
Sure he'll still make plenty small squares... big money for the compared to round bales particularly if you're in an area where you have a ready market (horse and hobby farm people with small equipment and not too many head where rounds are just more convenient). Later! OL J R :)
I run 60 psi on my 855, if you run slower (mph) it'll pack them bales heavy. My only problem with my baler is I snap shear bolt all the time, I've heard it's a common problem with the chain balers.
Yeah, good luck putting 800 psi in those bags. New at about 200 they’ll explode. Weathered, I’d be scared to try 100. 60 makes a bale tight enough it’ll tip when you try to put the spike in it. Lower than 45 or so and the chains will start banging and clanging. 50-55 is a good solid starting point.
I don't usually comment 2wice but.... 40- 60 psi. And it's a blue oval baler the last of the run . I am excited for you. 855 guy myself . Hope to get poked by that needle myself someday. 👍👍
Hope you have a few acres you can cut. Try it out see what it will do. I think that's the only way your really going to know "if" it will bale and wrap okay. That might " tell off" on what it needs. Give you something to do this winter. You know..... In all your spare time🤣 hahaha BTW I run my 648 hydraulic bale tension @ 2,250 psi
we got the same baler but in string
My dad and I both enjoyed meeting you and the day’s conversation. We look forward to any future equipment deals.
I am very interested in that plow and papec silage wagon.
I'm not surprised you got another dinosaur for the farm lol .
It's a newer dinosaur.
Congrats on the new machine, I hope it works out for you!!
Its so Nice to see farmers that uses old equipment. And takes good CARE of it💪🏼😃 keep on the good work. Looking foward to see whats next upgrade💪🏼
I think it's just fixing for a while around here.
Congratulations on your new score.Hope it works well for you.

Keep at it!! If these houses have big yards, you could convince them to let it grow for hay.

@@jtoddjb Yup its called "too much money, not enough sense". Later! OL J R :)
That must have been a high end baler for its time- it has some neat options!
I'm told it was.
Great upgrade, you will love the net, always liked the chain balers!

You will enjoy that baler.
I have one and have run it for years.
Great balers.
It's almost as much fun to run as the new TR86.
I delivered feed to this place once theres a gigantic power station next to it now
We need more nick
Haha

I have to agree Brandon. I had a 846 for years. Upgraded to a 648. Just a race horse compaired to my old 846.
Maybe my fields are too small, but going past third gear driving feels like the Indy 500.

Looks like a good piece of equipment. Can’t wait to see it work for ya.

So far, net wrap has treated me well, besides the mess left behind for me to cut off the baler.
Just a tip, if you need a air bag, there are much cheaper at a big truck parts dealer than a new holland dealer
There's a truck shop five miles away.
Didn't know they had net wrap on them old chain balers!
Me neither, until now.

Yere

👍👌🇨🇦❤, I think I am with you Jacob on this one, chains wrap with net wrap instead of belts, so much more you can bale with this new to you baler
I've got an 853 NH chain baler and the manual says 50psi max on the air bags.
I think you would wear the tires off your truck before you could find another chain baler with net wrap
I think so too.
Nice find man I personally like the krone chain balers better but there again I can tind a boat load of custom work around here
There's not much krone around here.
My Papaw always the run the needle on the gauge until 1 30. I can remember the numbers on the gauge but whatever number is at 130 always made great rolls. That ole NH probably had 60,000 bales threw it when it retired
Brilliant. Net wrap and auto oiler will save you a lot of time
Netwrap saves all the time. It feels like I make a bale so fast, I can't keep up.
@@boehmfarm4276 just brilliant
we have a 4 by 4 new holland 630 belt baler bought new 28 years ago or there about. we replaced 1 hydraulic line 1 tire and teeth and 2 belts since we bought it new. my neighbor said the bales WONT weigh up. i met him at the scale one day my 3rd cutting were weighing 894 a bale his 3rd 5by 5 bales were weighing 918 a bale
A lot could play into weight, bale with dew or moisture and the pounds add up fast.
Love that new Holland dont ya hope its great
I wouldn't have traded if I didn't like it.

Good thing there's truck shop five miles away, but I hope I don't need bags for a long time.
Nice video nice purchase
Congratulations! She's a beaut!
Thank you
If I ever got into round baling I think this would be the one I'd look for
It's the one I'd look for too, but I didn't know the options existed until it fell in front of me.
So we may not see dual combines in the field anymore but maybe dual round balers ?
Pretty cool find.
I really don't want to make twine bales unless I have to.
The hitch being bent made me laugh. Will fit in on the ol farm perfect
Great awesome video, nice baler
Iam truly jealous! Great find.
“Rub the side of a Dodge Pickup and I’ll majicly appear.” I that’s t-shirt gold right there.
Hahaha
I’m pickled tink when I see your notifications 😂
Time to call May West and get you some pickup parts that's the best way to improve that baler that thing should be indestructible
I gave you a like as I always do but this saddens me a little because my favorite thing about your content is the square bale video’s, I hope you still have a need for some square’s in the future! Stay safe and keep well. I love y’all
I'm still making as many squares as possible. I make rounds of slightly weedy hay.
Boehm Farm / thank you for telling me that
Sure he'll still make plenty small squares... big money for the compared to round bales particularly if you're in an area where you have a ready market (horse and hobby farm people with small equipment and not too many head where rounds are just more convenient). Later! OL J R :)
OOOOOOOOHHH I was thinking man what willl he buy next! now lets see that bale density increase
It's a very firm bale.
@@boehmfarm4276 now about upping your tonnage of forage per acre, some of your fields don't look as heavy as they could be.
hell of a trade! lucky
A squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.
my 848 says max 40psi min 25psi looks like same baler I have.
I run 60 psi on my 855, if you run slower (mph) it'll pack them bales heavy. My only problem with my baler is I snap shear bolt all the time, I've heard it's a common problem with the chain balers.
This 848 says 40 is max on a safety sticker. You might be breaking bolts because too much pressure cramming too much hay in bale.
@@boehmfarm4276 probably but I like big heavy bales
Takes black plastic net rap.
Don't have a baler like that but a fellow utuber did a video recently and he said he runs 50 psi in his
That's on the high end.
About 7 or 800 psi should make an excellent roll that will eat well
Yeah, good luck putting 800 psi in those bags. New at about 200 they’ll explode. Weathered, I’d be scared to try 100. 60 makes a bale tight enough it’ll tip when you try to put the spike in it. Lower than 45 or so and the chains will start banging and clanging. 50-55 is a good solid starting point.
Not a bad day for trading. I like the trailer. Looks sharp. Did you rent it?
The trailer belongs to my uncle John. It's very handy.
Ohhhh...... cute, a baby NH855👍👍
I don't usually comment 2wice but.... 40- 60 psi. And it's a blue oval baler the last of the run . I am excited for you. 855 guy myself . Hope to get poked by that needle myself someday. 👍👍

Yeah, spare time... The repair list for winter is already a mile long.
I have a cousin like nick. Likes to come “help” and break things. He lingers like a chili fart.
Hahaha.
With a little training, and a couple threats of do it my way or you will die, Nick does ok.
Lingers like a chili fart... I'll have to remember that one! OL J R :)
Nice!
U r spoiling yourself.
nice :)

Finally an upgrade ti that ancuent round baler.
