Pretty neat. If it works as good as their balers, you probably go to field and find it parked under a shade tree with error and all the bales still in the field.
Yep. Had a family friend run over their dog for this exact reason. Tried everything to get that dog to stop doing that. He didnt. Slipped on the cattke guard and crushed by their SUV. He crawled his way out then fell over dead...
that lazy? like i can see this thing being used for farmers and ranchers with massive 250 acres of baled ground. but for a avg 1000-3500 acre farmer. yall can pick and stack bales just fine.
This would be a good idea for square bales, if only they were stacked 3 high and placed near a tramline it saves a lot of time. Maybe Claas or Krone can build something like that, it saves a lot of time and soil compaction compared to the usual teleloader.
@@dozer1642 that can be refined in programming, this is just the concept prototype, so a lot of refining will need to be done, including turning conditions.
Probably. The ai just needs to be changed a bit (they have to make a different one) and then it could work better than with normal bales, since wrapped bales stand out most of the time.
@@MrThisIsMeToo but a lot of picking bales does. However I think with one of these you would have a better chance of getting them all picked before the snow comes
It's very interesting and I've been thinking of (just in my head) some autonomous machine to pick up bales. But for hay or straw where the bales are quite low weight I wonder if the solution this is solving a problem that should be tackled earlier? Using bale accumulators, something like JD's Plus2 accumulator that drop things off in a line and then have any type of baler mower/trailer that loads them in from the side seems to be efficient. But here in Sweden, if a dairy farm is using round bales it's wrapped bales with silage, not hay bales. Fields aren't as flat always but since they put down the bales on their sides they don't roll off. I would also think a bale accumulator for wrapped heavy bales will be quite heavy and it might get a bit too much to pull along. So an autonomous bale mower for wrapped bales that are tipped on their side could be something. If the bales aren't moved directly they should sit for a few weeks until the pressure drops inside them. So either the machine has to be very quick (unlikely) or it may have a lot more time on its hands later to collect them (with minimal energy input).
this is for the like the farmed used in the video. massive open land scapes. not something like in the UK or small 1500 acre farm with small contour landscape i bet.
dude the music is so loud I can barely hear the speaker. Your company needs to learn that just because you want epic sounding music for your advert, doesn't mean it should completely dominate the ad.
Vermeer says imagine spending the time gathering bales how you want, health and saftey won't allow it. Tractor manufacturers have had the technology for decades to build unmanned tractors but health and saftey states that there must be a manual override ie a man in the seat incase the machine goes haywire and leaves the field and crosses a busy road or something similar so unless you want to stand at the gate for hours on end while the machine goes to work then why not just get in your tractor and gather the bales, from the looks of this machine a manned tractor and loader would be quicker anyway.
Also most hay gets hauled close to a feed lot via truck so could it load a tilt trailer rather than stacking them. Also it would probably stack wider that a tractor and loader could so it takes more space
That sounds like a UK type rule, so it may not sell over there, but I don't think it would be an issue in the US, or a lot of other countries lol I mean, Walmart runs autonomous floor scrubbers in the store with customers around, it's just programmed to stop if it sees anyone near. As long as it has a reliable geo fence, there are no rules about running something like this on private property as far as I know.
@@CraydenGamingOfficial Be careful. I grew up on a farm but had to leave. I've done a few different jobs over the past 20 odd years but now find myself back on the farm. Once it's in your blood it's hard to get it out! At least I have nice big toys to play with now 🤣🤣
@@CraydenGamingOfficial I'd love a Magnum but we run John Deere. Our biggest is a 7310R. We are in Wales in the UK. Just started harvest last week. Good luck with your farming.🙂
I'm not advocating for this machine at all, but most farmers wouldn't be sitting around while the machine does all the work, they'd be doing something else that needs doing on their farm.
@@phill6983 sitting in a big tractor picking up bales isn't hard work, but if a tractor can do it without a human, then the human can be doing something more productive, like running the baler in the next field, or getting ready to plant the next crop. The most expensive part of running a farm is the employees, so if you can get more work done with the same number of employees, that's just good business sense. Do you say the same thing about circle irrigators? Lazy farmers don't want to move sprinklers by hand? Or does it make more sense to be able to program it to run from your phone app, and not have to spend weeks in the fields?
@@ke6gwf I think you have misunderstood me. A lot of people seem to think that farmers should still work stupid amounts of hours and do lots of physically hard work when they would not really expect that from any other profession. My dad and a lot of my friends Dad's were old school farmers and pretty much worn out by 60. New hips, new knees, arthritis in the neck. These days I am still working on a farm but the machines do all the work for me, well most of it, and I am thankful for it.
The baling machine should plot every bail, that data should tell the auto where they are, thus allowing max efficiency for the auto mover,
What if bales rolling down the field?
@@michaeljager362 yeah I dont think this system is that perfect..
Thank goodness you are not engineering the thing.
Pretty neat. If it works as good as their balers, you probably go to field and find it parked under a shade tree with error and all the bales still in the field.
Funny since they make the best damn balers out there. Not a chance in hell a Deere or a new Holland could eat as much as our cornstalk special
Always great to see the innovation coming from shortline equipment manufacturers.
“Hey Tom, that new contraption of urs is over in my feedlot chasing heifers bruh”
fucking laughed so hard my slpeen almost burst again.
@@ADogNamedStay 🤣
🤣🤣
And it already picked up my old lady!!!! I know I watched, didn't think it would lift her. LOL
If I was a farmer and I bought one of these, I would call it Wall-E 😁
Bal-E
Sonic The Balehog.
Any video of this in mild terrain? If it can handle small gullies, dips, etc. it could change the game...
These kinds of machines are what will make large corporations more efficient and keep small farmers small cause they can't afford this stuff.
That dog was a bad dog runnin out in front of that truck!!
He wasn't running out in front of the truck, he was just pasing the truck. Lol

@@brandoncaldwell95 and no one asked for a life story.
Nice concept, at one end of the spectrum. But, will it put the hay out for the cows during the winter?

It's the new Farmer's Roomba!
Seems a cool invention to me, possible to add a wrapper?
Need something for big squares
I wonder if can detect a suck hole in the field, plus turning on a dime in a alfalfa field can do a lot of damage.
I noticed how hard it cranks a turn. Soft conditions would not be pretty.

My luck it would take the bales to the neighbours place.
@@brentreid7031 🤣😂😂😂
This i need, does it stop when it starts raining though
Easy to add a rain sensor on it, or from a weather station. If they wanted to anyway!
Not that it happen but what happens then it gets stuck or move them in snow ...... Just wondering
Newsflash. Hay bailing does not occur in winter.
@@MrThisIsMeToo but a lot of picking bales does. However I think with one of these you would have a better chance of getting them all picked before the snow comes
Yeah as long as you have level fields
When can I buy one?
And what happens with a 5 acre field on the side of a mountain that can really only be gotten to with a 4x4 tractor?
It's for gentle laying land only
But it has to be trailered from field to field. I'll just use a loader, it's easier.
and the loader has to be driven to the field.
Looks like a 24×40 drill...

There is to many coulees, rock piles, old farmsteads, old well pits, stock ponds & zig zag fence lines around our hay fields for me to trust it.

Little true secret. There actually is a Mexican inside running the thing, so no.
I don’t think so I Hayfork is way cheaper
Just three
😄
Now do that on big square bales and sold
Not a chance in hell ever
Why not just have twin spikes on front and back, simple
who needs it? if ya don't have farmers you don't have America
comment made no sense.
Great now robots r taken the farm jobs
So you spend thousands of dollars so you don’t have to work a day or two.
