Thanks again for a very good video the camera work is great. I really appreciate being able to see you folks work on a daily basis, both the rewarding and the frustrating. It really helps if you have a mechanical aptitude because with all the different machinery from waterwheels repairing round baler broken belts you need it. The two of you work as a team and the respect you have for each other is obvious and very real. I get much more satisfaction watching North Texas Hay than commercial TV because I learn something. Thank you for sharing.
Love the video! I worked for fire/ems beginning in 1975, & on my days off i created- founded an auto repair business. Tried it for a bit with hired help, but didn't need the additional drama. Also, the quality of repairs didn't suit me. So, i understand your reasoning on keeping your operation at a manageable size. Lol. Kim, your composition skills with that camera are excellent! One of my dads hobbies was photography, which rubbed off on me. I've been taking pics most of my life, & really enjoy seeing your results- Well done!!
Thanks, Belinda. I enjoy taking pictures and video, but I definitely consider myself a beginner. I'm honing my skills for future grandchildren. ;) By the way, our middle son is a paramedic/firefighter, and I'm a former NICU nurse. It's a tough but rewarding line of work - more like a calling. Thank you for all you've done! ~ Kim
Got to say, you have a impressive hay operation. Enjoy the channel immensely keep it up. It's so wet here in central Wisconsin not a lot of good quality hay was made this year.
Gotta say Scott and (Im sorry forgot wifes name) I found it amazing when watching a past video that your wife gave you the same "pet name" as my wife does from time to time .........."dork" LOL Keep up the great videos very enjoyable to watch !!
After 15 years of doing my own baling and 5 years when I added a large barn, I have some suggestions. BTW, I also handle 2 bales at a time. First, proprioceptive44 has the right idea with the trailer at 90 degrees. Think of it this way - the trailer position in the video requires tractor to turn 180 degrees each time. With trailer at 90, only a turn of 90 is required. However I back trailer up towards barn so a turn of 45 is required. Saves more time. Second suggestion is to stack bales in the barn - 3 rows if possible. Third suggestion is if you have a 2nd tractor (& operator), one tractor pulls trailer and one stacks bales. This is what my wife and I do. Fourth suggestion that I learned THIS year is that if I "pair up" bales before taking the trailer out, the trailer time is greatly reduced. Further, if you line up not just 2, but 8 or more, trailer loading is amazingly fast.
Beautiful area, thanks for the panorama! With all the water that fell in Huston, you could use a little but with irrigation you can control the rain and keep the sunshine.
It's funny how one can cut hay all summer long and yet still watch other people cut their hay. It's kinda funny how that works. I'm getting ready to cut second cut this coming week hoping I can get it put up without rain.
Thanks I appreciate the video. As a new hay farmer I am always looking at ways to improve on how we do things and I learned a few things form you video, thankyou. Is that a custom build bale spear or a name brand I would like to change mine for one like that.
Is your grass a perennial, or do you have to reseed after a while? You probably don't have to worry about winter kill there do you? Good job by both of you.
Watch your videos a good bit. The efficiency you use is impressive. How many acres of hay do you all make ? We make around 700 acres with first and second cutting no irrigation though. Get enough rain here in the eastern Panhandle of WV. Keep the videos coming.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I read you don't stack bales because of deforming. But with the quad spike could you stack the bales if you wanted too? I'm thinking of getting the quad spike but I would need to stack them in the barn. Thanks
I always wondered what does a round bale go for as far as cost to the regular consumer, and how does it compare to regular bales. In other words how many squares are in a round? Thanks in advance.
Slick operation! How many acres do you farm? I think I read somewhere that you have 150 acres, which doesn't seem like very much for a year round operation.
Keith Brettell it's all about yield for me. I use to do around 600 acres but my quality began to suffer. My goal is to get to 80 acres and make 25,000 bales. I don't want any employees and that includes family, other than my wife helping me.
+Webber Lewis it puts indentions on them. I sell this hay and the better looking the package the more desirable. If I knew I was going to run out of room I would lay down pallets and stack them on there sides.
Bale hauling it u make it look easy my second day operating the manitou telehandler but think gettimg hang of it. Great video great commetary love the accent and sum nice looking bales. Good yield considering the size the field?
"Baylor" is a university located in Waco, Texas. A "baler" is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut crop into bales. That being the case, Baylor is neither round nor square.
shows what I know, I'd thought more revolutions would make it tighter. Great videos and great to see you and your wife working together as you do, just so great, God bless ya both.
North Texas Hay well you two do a great job good luck with rest of season it is so dry up here we are done for the year again keep up the great videos we do enjoy them

You have a very nice set up seems thing go smooth and with a lot of less labor to produce good hay keep up the videos i enjoy watching them thanks.
tlowevpnv thank you
I was most impressed by the hookup to the trailer without having to dismount. Very efficient.
anon y mouse thanks
It really is we have one like that by preferft and it’s awesome

The "Boss" is a very smooth operator! And you my friend are a very good camera operator! Great videos.
Brian Mulligan thank you
excellent video. I sure enjoy watching the work on the farm. I would enjoy moving those bales around too.

Park the trailer at 90 degrees will reduce unloading time considerably. Load back turn, forward unload, back turn, forward load etc etc
proprioceptive44 I was going to say the same thing. I have stacked at least 10000 rolls in barns.
At 3:50s ta 4:10 great looking view. And the sunset.
+Randy Maylowski we love it here, thank you
Was rebuilding one of my hay lot fences to keep cows out and a spark sent the whole stack up in flames 🔥
Cody Jones that could make you the winner of the chicken dinner
Nice camera work and a nice looking operation.
Dude Solfest thank you
Y'all got a nice place there.
Thank you
Good looking bales. If I didn't know better I"d say you've done this before. ;-)

Larry Stockwell it is a perennial. There are things you can do to help protect it through winter and drought

Kory Harmison I do 103 acres and when conditions allow an extra 55 beyond that
I'm curious as to where you acquired your double bale spear? Can't find one in my area so I'm probably going to have to order one online. Thanks!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I read you don't stack bales because of deforming. But with the quad spike could you stack the bales if you wanted too? I'm thinking of getting the quad spike but I would need to stack them in the barn. Thanks
If I'm stacking to feed I would stack on top but if I'm selling and I need to stack rounds I flip them on their side.
North Texas Hay Got it. Thanks

I was wondering how come you don't stack your round bales on top of each other?? It would take more hay in the barn if you did...
+Webber Lewis it puts indentions on them. I sell this hay and the better looking the package the more desirable. If I knew I was going to run out of room I would lay down pallets and stack them on there sides.
Everything big dollars tractors, pivots,trailers id hate to be paying for them. People used to make a living milking 10 cows and running a few pigs
Trying times
How many acres are y'all working?
You have a beautiful farm
+Sea Pilot thank you
+Sea Pilot thank you
How many bales do you fit on that bad Larry. And also what size are the axles?
I carry 20 but it would hold more on concrete. Don’t remember the axle weight but it is a lot
Bale hauling it u make it look easy my second day operating the manitou telehandler but think gettimg hang of it. Great video great commetary love the accent and sum nice looking bales. Good yield considering the size the field?
Thank you
Tell us about the cow birds (white egret )
Are those 4/5 or 5/5 bales and what is your baler model ?
Just wondering if you thought about a big square Baylor if you desde to replace the round Baylor.keep up the great video's
"Baylor" is a university located in Waco, Texas. A "baler" is a piece of farm machinery used to compress a cut crop into bales. That being the case, Baylor is neither round nor square.
Kenny Mysak thank you. I don't do enough acreage to have a big square baler
smartass
Buckhorn Cortez the word “douchecanoe” come to mind after reading your comment.
Clutch, I think Victor may have been talking about Buckhorn's comment ?
make it look so easy
David Legg thanks
We do the same thing just on smaller scale thirty foot gooseneck hooked on back of 4440
Wow... Weres all of the trees and your hills??? All of fields that flat??
+Ronald Feuerstein it's not as flat as it looks, and trees don't make for a very good hay operation
North Texas Hay i understand that it just eveything here i Michigan has trees around it and on a hill side.... Lol
👏👏👏👏👏
What do you guys do with the hay after ?
We sell it
What baler made those? No barrel ends!!!
+Karl Jacobson new holland BR7070
North Texas Hay makes a nice bale!!!!
+Karl Jacobson it does
Love your videos and I have to say ye do make nice bales and what part of Texas is it x 😊
+Nicholas Bennett thank you, we are about 1 hr north of Dallas
Yup. Another question from me....lol. How does the round baler pack a tight bale without a packer? Have something to do with the belts?
InjectorRick belt tension and getting a roll made with the fewest revolutions in the baler as possible
shows what I know, I'd thought more revolutions would make it tighter. Great videos and great to see you and your wife working together as you do, just so great, God bless ya both.
tarfoot thank you
how many bales per acre?
+Antonio Del Rio 280 per acre per year give or take.
+Antonio Del Rio small square bales
I doubt I'm even close
Why don't he stack the bales on top of each other
?
In the barn why don't you stack your hay on top of each other
Will deform the bales. When it's bales I'm selling i try to keep them as close to the same as the day I baled them
Why don't u stack 2 bales on end then third bale normal it saves a lot of space and hay color when u go to sell them
matthew cloud I would but at this point I won't have enough bales to fill the barn.
North Texas Hay up here we run most of our hay threw auction and hay color makes all the difference in price. So that's the reason I do it that way
matthew cloud color definitely sells but these are made for a specific custom who only cares about feed value
North Texas Hay well you two do a great job good luck with rest of season it is so dry up here we are done for the year again keep up the great videos we do enjoy them
matthew cloud thank you for the kind words, and I'm learning things from all of the people here so keep the ideas coming
How long is your trailer? Looks like a 30+5
mark197867 40+5
@@NorthTexasHay I was thinking 35+5 I've never seen a 40+5 good to know
Another great video! But where is the John Deere. I want to see it working with the loader .
Adam Ellenburg I will roll again and use the Deere, thanks for watching
