Thank you so much for this "How to" and "Why " video. I hope to see more.
Great video. I'm not a farmer so everything I learn from you is interesting.
... so that’s how you do it.....more to it than meets the eye...another fine video ... city boy says thanks ...
Love the lesson on baling! Thank you.
Great job and informative too!👍
love watching kendal xxxx
I remember those days very well but we had the square bales and when we got done with 3rd cutting my Dad would take us to Canada for the day or to the local Fair as our reward for getting it done
Were your square bales 4'x4'x8' (big bales) or "idiot blocks"? When I was a kid, I was the "idiot stacking the blocks".
nice I learnalot from you guys and will keep watching all videos are fantastic keep it up
Hay that was a great video, That bailer was impressive.
Interesting and informative - Thank you!
Thanks for the video guys!
Congratulations Laura!
Thanks for the info. Good job explaining.
Nice! God bless y'all!
Keep up the good work 👍
Awesome video learned a lot also the channel is great 👍
I like that Kubota baler
yeah they are acully 100% alot easyer to work on and parts are accully cheaper then deeres and newhollands plus kubota balers can run twine and wrap wich deeres and newhollands has to use one twine or have to get another baler with wrap wich kubota is great it can be used either ones wich is nice
Thank you!
Haha. Y’all wait for humidity and dew to bale the hay to keep it from being too dry, and here in the southeast we fight to keep the hay from being too wet. Usually have about a 5 day window at the most to get it done before the next rain too. Looks like it makes a pretty nice bale. We still crank them out with a 1985 Deere baler.
When its really hot and dry you can’t get the bale started, the hay just spins around inside the belts, makes a mess and thats about it!
Lovely video love ur channel
That's pretty neat
Great video, ı from Chile
Good work! "What's the origin of the phrase 'Make hay while the sun shines'? This proverb is first recorded in John Heywood's A dialogue conteinyng the nomber in effect of all the prouerbes in the Englishe tongue, 1546: Whan the sunne shinth make hay." Thanks for sharing!!
All works out for flat ground Square baling the way to go though never have to stop or worry about your bale!
Can you store square bales outside? Won't they get bad with rain?
@@dfarmer_ you just put a tarp over them like you should with any bale if you run out of room in your barn round bales take up so much space and net wrap is a pain to work with...
@@CountylineFarming yikes! Tarping thousands of bales? I like squares when you have inside storage but I don't think they can compare with rounds outside. I haven't seen a big square baler in a long time... seems like everyone makes round bales here (in the thousands!).
@@dfarmer_ they use round bales because they are cheap you just put them all in one place but you should have a barn to put them all in like I said wrong wheels don't work when it s hilly...
A monitor that tells one to drive drunk. :) square nailer here.
I drive truck, and I sometimes haul hay. One of our main outbound in summer and fall is 4'x6' round bales of organic. I very much prefer to haul hay (and straw) that has been baled with a newer machine that rolls a tighter core. The older balers that make sloppy, loose cores don't ride as well on the trailer.
Thank you for the video. ive been seriously considering buying a Kubota baler. your the only guys I have seen any feedback from. looks good. is your the silage baler?.
I'm curious to know why do you need to wait until there is some humidity? Does it effect the bail or machinery in some way?
What made you all choose a kubota baler over Vermeer or Deere?
The baling looks really easy but it's the computer I'd have a problem with possibly. I had no idea that little humidity if preferable to bale. Glad you have that in the day at times. If it rains in the night, do u have to postpone baling the following day when it doesn't rain or can you still bale if the crop is damp?
Yes, we usually have to wait a day if it rains! This alfalfa was rained on so it doesn't look the greatest.
@@PetersonFarmBros Thank you for your answer! I'm in North Central Oregon where there is quite a bit of both wheat and alfalfa farming and we don't get hardly any rain in July and not much in August either but the farms seem to irrigate when necessary at times. We just came out of almost a week straight in the 100's and are down to low 90's now which is a relief all without any moisture.
Have to admit I thought it was a square baler at first glance
Ye should try get a McHale baler either a fusion or the more average farm size baler,the fusion packs the bale very well and you don't have to weave along the swarth to get an even bale as it distributes it going through the knives anyway I have 27.5k bales put through my fusion 3 baler and I've never had to weave along the swarth to get an even bale
Ciaran Creedon You have to understand that this is a 5’ wide baler and often times the hay is not heavy enough to make into full width windrows, without raking it too much and knocking too many leaves off. When that occurs, you need to weave from side to side. From my knowledge McHale doesn’t make a 5’ wide baler, but Kubota makes an excellent line up of 4’ balers, as well. Hay producers in the mid-west U.S. and Canada mostly prefer the 5’ wide bales, as they typically don’t truck them off the farm, or at least too far. The larger bales mean less bales to feed each day.
I was wondering about that monitor how does that work like do have to have like a modern tractor or have it installed or something?
Kristian Lindås The monitor is a terminal that pulls up the information from the control box on the baler. As long as a tractor has a sufficient battery source, should be ok.
@@brucespidle8711 thank you
Cant run it on any tractor that has a power source if it doesnt have the modern plug then might have to do a bit of a wiring job
@@jerryodriscoll3691 thanks
How do you like the kubota so far? Used to be kverneland equipment from what I understand
Eat black angus Kubota purchased Kvernland in 2011. With Kubota’s backing, a great majority of the line has been upgraded, or replaced by entirely new products. Larger products, such as this BV4580, have been developed for the North American market. Trust me, Kubota is no where done developing their hay tool line up, or larger tractors.
Bruce Spidle for sure. Been eyeing out the m8 tractors with the 6.7 cummins and zf trans. Heard its partly to do with their fiddling around with versatile. Do you think they’ll purchase versatile yet?
Eat black angus Yes, the M8 is part of an OEM agreement between Kubota and Buhler, with both companies having been involved in the project since day one. Anyone buying anyone else is way above my pay grade!
i took m6-141 141hp for test it's nice plus my dealer selling it pretty cheap with front pto 3 point hitch,loader,bucket,forks,blower blade package for $99,000 wich newhollandt5.115 115hp with front pto 3point hitch,loader bucket and fork newholland dealer here were $139,900
@@justinmartin8887 kubota bought versatile accully wich now kubota is working with cummins,husqavarnas,toro and ventracs
I saw the video called it’s okay to be a small farm and I have to say you are not a small farm you have some pretty big equipment. I hope people are nicer to you in the future.
KUBoTA or John Deere which one is better tractor
When are you making your next music video?
Soon! Just made one last month
I was going to ask the same thing so nice to know
@@PetersonFarmBros I'm waiting for a "I'm gonna be (500 miles)" parody from you guys.
that would have looked a whole lot better with a Kubota tractor pulling that Kubota baler
Future video recommendation - "A day in the life of a farm dog"
Ye should try get a mchale v6750 working beside it in the field as a comparison
Jim Connolly That would be apples and oranges. The BV4580 is a 5’x6’ dry hay baler, not a 4’x5’ silage baler with chopper knives. Kubota’s BV5160 is the direct competitor for the McHale. Hay producers in the mid-west U.S. raise primarily beef cattle and prefer the larger bales, put up at lower moisture content.
Bruce Spidle that answers that didn’t know the chambers were a foot wider. Just looking at the video that baler looks awful slow compared to the mchale. Mchale need to up their game and make ye a bigger baler so. I saw the Deere equivalent of that baler when I was over and it looked slow as well
Jim Connolly Have personally baled with the BV4580 and BV5160 over 12 mph in heavy windrows, but every operator chooses how fast he wants to run.
Bruce Spidle can’t speak for the Kabota baler never had anything to do with them but in hay the v660 can do 100 bales an hour out of heavy 30ft Swards at its ease
Good video but you can improve your camera
Kubotas junk go new holland and never look back 60 000 bales still works like new lol
farmer farmer hahahahaha funny one kubotas are acully are the most affordable products in the world wich build in japan and assembled in georgia and canada wich kubotas are growing bigger and stronger
Where is your John Deere baler
How tall is this guy if a 70' barely makes it past his shoulder?
He said 70 inch not feet!!!
@@anstromwally6708 I didn't say feet either
Kendal is 6'3 And Greg is 6'2 😂
Stop, Bale Time!
Are u scared of thunderstorms
I'm first
I'm disappointed in this video. You guys normally do a great job, but not this time. That hay looks like it had been down for a week and provably rained on at least once. Don't you have dairy cows? Once you see the first bloom you're 3 days late at mowing. Peak protein happens before bloom.
We do not have dairy cows. Putting up alfalfa for dairy is a different task entirely. For beef cattle here in Kansas (location matters), we swath at first bloom. Yes, this hay was rained on and is a 6 year old field so it's not going to look the greatest. We just picked up this field this year. That is out of our control, including the rain.
