Looking pretty good! Hardest part about baling with a letter series two-cylinder like that is the transmission driven PTO. Makes it really hard to stop and change gears, since every time you stop it will stop the baler. A 60 with live PTO, a 620 or 630 would run it a lot better. Only thing I can notice is that you may want to rake your windrows a bit tighter so that the baler can pick it all up. To those mentioning to move the drawbar over, while that's a pretty good idea, just make sure that it doesn't put too much stress on your PTO U-joints. I wouldn't think it would unless you make a hard left turn, but just something to be mindful of. Other than that, that Massey Ferguson sure puts out nice bales.
@@HumbleAcres yeah, that's typically the case with old equipment. It likes to be worked. When you keep using it, it keeps everything shined up like the pickup, bale chamber and knotters, and it tends to work better.
Looks like for the deere you need to swing the drawbar on the tractor over to get the hay closer to the inside of the pickup. We have to do this with all our tractors to get the baler over far enough.
Those windrows look a little weird. Like the rake didn't make full or complete windrows. The A does a fairly good job considering you don't have live PTO, Thanks for sharing.
Yeah the non live PTO is a pain. That’s where the John Deere 14 series balers with the overrun clutch built into them really shined, you could run them with an A or B and not be fighting gears and being pushed by the momentum of the baler.
Back on your raking video I made the comment that I would like to show you the correct way to rake hay. Because of the way you raked it is why your missing so much hay. Your winrow isn't tied together. Even though someone replied there's no correct way to rake hay.
Great video your baler works great. Mine is making me mad with all the misses but I hope can figure out. I understand using the kubota comfortable a. Hope you dont mind me saying your leaving to much in the field. Have a great day.
The reason for the hay not getting in the windrow is that you needed to finish it like you did then go around backwards to get everything into one row. The next time you mow this field you make get plugups on the sickle from the hay still out there.
The rear tires are adjustable on your a john deere. When you rake your hay make your windows narrower ,and as strait as possible. You won,t leave so much hay on the ground.
Cool videos mate! I got a Te20 Ferguson that I want to make hay with. I already have the sickle bar mower and the rake just need a baler, I'm thinking getting one like yours. Cheers
Goot! Nice job baling. I liked how you used the machinery noise for the drone soundtrack instead of the music, keeps that song from getting stuck in my head. I also noticed you removed the loader from the Kubota for baling. Not sure that's needed, but it sure looks better!
Liked watching the A, but the raking leaves a bit to be desired. I know Prairie Sunset Ranch would love to have what ya left on the field. Just sayin'. Edit: PS. Love the 'Safety' Flip Flops.
Don’t cut the jack, weld a piece of pipe on top of the baler tongue that will fit the pipe on the jack. You have plenty of clearance between the baler tongue and the pto shaft. The sleeve the jack will attach to doesn’t have to be mounted on the side of the tongue. Nice to see the old MF baler in action, but ya, daddy would have whipped my butt if I left that much hay in the field, lol. Takes time to learn, great video.
@@HumbleAcres I have the same drone and plan to video mowing my 2nd cutting using two-cylinder John Deere tractors next week. I just bought the drone a few weeks ago and experimenting with the active track and spotlight. To get sound I have to do the screen recording but don't like all the extra stuff on the screen. Thanks, enjoy your videos. BTW, as a kid I used to rake hay with the same rake (I think John Deere) you are using!
I enjoy watching your channel. I was wondering what do you do with the hay? Do you have to get it out if the field and store it or do you sale it? I know you have mentioned a family member had cows in a previous video.
Looks like the A does a good job but without a live PTO it may be a pain. The rake or raker operator needs some work. A lot of hay was left in the field.
open it up, wide open, and you might have to go down another gear! Just found your videos, and am catching up on the old ones! I'm an old JD Man!O.K, I quit watching when you put the kobota on!!🤣
I noticed you sure do miss a lot of hey when you bail.. seen it on your other video with the Kubota to.. but your defense I seen you were on your phone.. you might have to make smaller windrose
I noticed a lot of people complain about your choice of foot wear. If you really want to troll them, wear socks with the sandals....There is an old video on here called "Socks with Sandals" ( Guy Collins Animation ) that you'd probably find hilarious being a sandal wearer.
Nice looking farm. I started out small too. I started out using a JD B Somebody needs to do.a better job of raking your hay ...your losing to much hay. Nice drone shots.
Someone needs to show you how to properly rake that hay you're wasting alot of hay but with a little instruction you'll do fine
Wow those are some good looking hay bales. Loved seeing the john deere in action keeping pace and sounding great
Awesome video, thank you for baling some with the A, it really is a beautiful sight, 🤝
Hey those safety boots are something else again.

@@HumbleAcres no problem. I've never had experience with Massey balers, but it seems like they work pretty good
@@NEAFarmKid4010 Seems like the more I use mine the better it works.
@@HumbleAcres yeah, that's typically the case with old equipment. It likes to be worked. When you keep using it, it keeps everything shined up like the pickup, bale chamber and knotters, and it tends to work better.
Exactly.... We use a John Deere A on our John Deere 14T baler all the time the "no live power" is a little inconvenient but not a deal breaker.
Looks like for the deere you need to swing the drawbar on the tractor over to get the hay closer to the inside of the pickup. We have to do this with all our tractors to get the baler over far enough.
Thats a good idea thanks
Good job cant wait for more videos like this
A package of twine ( two balls ) will make approximately 500 bales.
Those windrows look a little weird. Like the rake didn't make full or complete windrows. The A does a fairly good job considering you don't have live PTO, Thanks for sharing.
Not raked properly at all
Yeah the non live PTO is a pain. That’s where the John Deere 14 series balers with the overrun clutch built into them really shined, you could run them with an A or B and not be fighting gears and being pushed by the momentum of the baler.
Great video love your videos keep them coming cant wait for next

The Kubota works well also the Bailer works well
The rear tires are adjustable on your a john deere. When you rake your hay make your windows narrower ,and as strait as possible. You won,t leave so much hay on the ground.
I noticed too that PTO was not hooked directly to the A, but was on a swivel extension. Was that because of the 3 point?
Thats just how the bailer is so you can make sharper turns.
Just puts less stress on the u-joints when turning sharp as he stated and makes it easier on the tractor and whole driveline.
Cool videos mate! I got a Te20 Ferguson that I want to make hay with. I already have the sickle bar mower and the rake just need a baler, I'm thinking getting one like yours. Cheers
I have had very good luck with the old Massey Ferguson No. 3
Goot! Nice job baling. I liked how you used the machinery noise for the drone soundtrack instead of the music, keeps that song from getting stuck in my head. I also noticed you removed the loader from the Kubota for baling. Not sure that's needed, but it sure looks better!
I removed the loader mostly to keep the weight off the field and for better visibility. Its also very easy to remove.
Baling hay with flip flops!
Living life on the edge ;)
The drawbar on the John Deere is adjusts from side to side so you could have moved the baler over
The A works well
Liked watching the A, but the raking leaves a bit to be desired. I know Prairie Sunset Ranch would love to have what ya left on the field. Just sayin'.
Edit: PS. Love the 'Safety' Flip Flops.
just wondering, why is this unlisted?
How did you watch it?
I figured it out. Apparently if its in a play list people can still watch it even if it’s unlisted. I post my videos on Sunday
Don’t cut the jack, weld a piece of pipe on top of the baler tongue that will fit the pipe on the jack. You have plenty of clearance between the baler tongue and the pto shaft.

It looks like you are using a DJI drone. Are you using the active track, spotlight or both while filming the action?
It is a DJI Air 2. I have used the active tracking before but I am doing 4k 60 now and it doesn’t work when filming that high res unfortunately.

I was selling it to my brother for his horses but he no longer needs it so I will now be storing and selling it.
@@HumbleAcres Small bales always have buyers with a horse or two, especially if you can keep it inside.
Looks like the A does a good job but without a live PTO it may be a pain. The rake or raker operator needs some work. A lot of hay was left in the field.
Una sombrita para el sol
You need To make one more pass in when you rake your hay
open it up, wide open, and you might have to go down another gear! Just found your videos, and am catching up on the old ones! I'm an old JD Man!O.K, I quit watching when you put the kobota on!!🤣
Thanks for the tips!
Hope your going to rerake that field, you will get enough hay to pay for all the fuel.
I noticed you sure do miss a lot of hey when you bail.. seen it on your other video with the Kubota to.. but your defense I seen you were on your phone.. you might have to make smaller windrose
Yes I am bailing, driving a tractor and flying the drone for video at the same time. I could do better but you wouldn’t see it. 😆
I noticed a lot of people complain about your choice of foot wear. If you really want to troll them, wear socks with the sandals....There is an old video on here called "Socks with Sandals" ( Guy Collins Animation ) that you'd probably find hilarious being a sandal wearer.
Good to know. I'll take a look. Thanks!
why back over all that tin??
It was there already and not in great shape
Nice looking farm.
I started out small too.
I started out using a JD B
Somebody needs to do.a better job of raking your hay ...your losing to much hay.
Nice drone shots.
IT'S A MASSEY FERGUSON BALER, NOT KUBOTA!
I switch tractors later in the video to a Kubota.
Umm. Your yield is very small. Perhaps you should put the phone/camera down and observe what you are doing. You just might double your productivity.
