Yes true but too bad no cold A/C.. I had been thru same thing. Hauled hay and sorted them in barn hot humid and DUST… also wasps .. (when I was teenager) Good memories!
They are great, but unless you are more of a hobby farmer they are impractical. You can’t mow pivot after pivot without breakdowns. They are neat to tinker around with though.
can recall working on a neighbors farm for 1.65/hr..and then join them at their supper table..oh boy could she cook..the smells of the cut hay, manure..tractors exhaust were all agreeable...heck of a way to appreciate hard work that all farmers do..and how cook corn on the cob dripping with salty butter done right..thx for the memory machine..
I remember our bailer not having the thrower belt, so we would have to grab them from the tail of the bailer and then stack them accordingly on the trailer. Those were the days! LOL!
This channel just popped up just as I'm about to go bailing. We had a 376 NH for years never saw a bale thrower like yours brilliant job.I can smell that lovely hay your making over here in Ireland great video.
Ran a 316 for a long time with my dad, incredible baler for the age, sold our dairy cows and started doing more production hay, been about 10 years now, picked up a 575 new Holland, one of the later gens, low low bale count, havent found a windrow it wont eat. Running a 635 jd on our 1466, runs it nice.
that is great looking Case 730. my father bought his 50 years ago and my brother is restoring it right now. he will be using it in making hay, but on smaller acreage.
very few small bales made now in Scotland ,I used to make 90 acres a year back in 70s and 80s then summers got wetter and making hay very difficult most have moved to round bales haylege or silage wrapped in plastic ,some bale hay with a round baler as its quicker and rebale some into small bales in winter for horse customers
Ya but now people are using John Deere witch I like don't get me wrong but the old school farm tractors like the international tractor and the uholand hay mower and hay balor are the best farm machines todate
I never knew making hay was such a process,😀😃😄 a lot of things have to go right and how the framer takes pride in the end product....boy do you guys work hard, most folks don't know....... btim cecil pa
It’s a Gandy(preservative applicator). We apply Siko King to most of our hay. It’s a dry innoculant, which is much safer than acid, doesn’t smell, and doesn’t corrode equipment
Spent many a Hour bailing hay in Montana with my new Holland bailer in 76 with my Ford 4000 for tractor power some of the best of times I can remember I did a lot of contract swathing and bailing for several years fed the family that was about all and kept up the equipment but they awes some of the best times mat some great people
It is a mower conditioner. Big reasons it takes so long: it’s first cutting so it’s very thick, lots of thick stemmy grass, humid climate, and the added alfalfa makes it take a little longer as well. 3-5 days is the average for drying hay around here
Nice old iron, would have been better if you had 4020 but I guess you can't have everything : - )) I grew up in WI, both grandfathers were dairy farmers No matter how dedicated of an IH or JD guy a farmer was the odds were really good they had a NH baler Both grandfathers one was JD man and the other an AC man had an NH baler, I don't remember the model number but it was from the 60's and without the bale thrower
730? Can't beat a 316 baler. Dad bought mine in '84? Keeps poundin them out. Have a pan thrower. Unfortunately the motor for distance control is dead, can't find one. Used to be able to pretty much stack the front
How amazing. Tedded 8 acres without the stupid tedder breaking something. Or did you skip that part. I've never used one and not broke a tine, a PTO shaft, or something. I have a whole arm somewhere on the farm, never did find it even though I immediately knew it had broken off. Have nary a clue where it went. We searched for two hours fearful it would get sucked into the baler.
Maybe someday you will be able to get a Kuhn accumulator which attaches to your baler and then use a tractor or skid steer with grabber on front to pick up your bales and stack them in the barn by you in the tractor seat. Would save you a lot of work and you would not have to have several people hired to stack in the barn.
You cut it, teddered it, teddered it again, raked it then bailed it. Six trips to the field to get one crop is not profitable. If you just love haying that a different thing. You are loosing 10-30% as you are beating the hell out of it and loosing leaves. Give it some thought or not it not my money. That is expensive hay the way you are doing it.
Everyone does things differently. Yes we made 6 trips across the field, which isn’t ideal, but for us, it is the only way for us to make dry hay at that time. It was a heavy crop so either we ted it twice and make it dry, or we bale it at 30-40% moisture and risk all of it molding or at the least, getting dusty…and no horse person wants dusty hay. To you it may not look profitable on the outside, but on our end, it’s the most profitable way for our business. Unless however you want to fork over a couple hundred thousand dollars so I can upgrade all my equipment and be more efficient😂
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 Thinking back I suppose that mower does not even crimp? That is the only thing I can think of that would make it faster. If your equipment is cheap enough I guess you can spend more on fuel and still turn a profit. At least you are not in the office doing what you are told. cheers
Love seeing older tractors still in production,people don't realize how great these old tractors are compared to the new plastic ones
Pre def is a wonderful thing!
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 And you don`t need a degree and computer to service and maintain

They are great, but unless you are more of a hobby farmer they are impractical. You can’t mow pivot after pivot without breakdowns. They are neat to tinker around with though.
Those mechanical tractors will be just like their older brothers still working and showing when the computerized ones are setting in the hedgerow.

Amen. I had similar experiences. We’re prolly close in age given that hourly wage you mentioned 😅
I remember our bailer not having the thrower belt, so we would have to grab them from the tail of the bailer and then stack them accordingly on the trailer. Those were the days! LOL!
Yep they sure were 😊
Great video, love seeing the old machines powering along.

Thankyou!
Nice video. Glad to see you making square bales the right way.
Finally a farmer who puts his machines under one roof. Congratulations!
Great video. Thank you for sharing and I am glad that you made a lot of hay. Stay safe.

Baler appreciates being fed hay that is fit to bale. Stay safe.
I have the same mower, tedder and baler...
UNBELIEVABLE!!!
What are the odds😂
that is great looking Case 730. my father bought his 50 years ago and my brother is restoring it right now. he will be using it in making hay, but on smaller acreage.
There's a lot of men using the older tractors. They love them.
This is my last year of high school and i just bought a new holland 316 baler a month ago im planning to rebale and sell hay and straw
They just cut the Hay in a 50 acre Field yesterday across from my house, Rolls everywhere, those guys had a Great cut for the first cut ! ✌
Very nice old iron. Gets the job done for sure. Great video.
Thanks 👍
Congrats! Looks like you put up some awesome stuff. Glad everything worked smoothly, you definitely earned it!
I appreciate that
I have never seen a thrower on a baler!! 😊😅😊 That was cool!
Bales need to be smaller so they don’t fall apart in the process 😅

Hey Jake I love to see you useing old farm tractors my favorites are massary Ferguson and Ford tractors
Both are great pieces of old iron! I used to run around my grandpas massey 165 when i was younger! that was a fun old tractor!
Ya but now people are using John Deere witch I like don't get me wrong but the old school farm tractors like the international tractor and the uholand hay mower and hay balor are the best farm machines todate
I have a 316 new holland. I've had it for 14 years and it's never missed tying a bale.
New sub. Loved watching the video. Reminds me of my younger days. Take care of your health and stay safe!
I never knew making hay was such a process,😀😃😄 a lot of things have to go right and how the framer takes pride in the end product....boy do you guys work hard, most folks don't know....... btim cecil pa
Doing this is how I started farming.
New to your channel. Perfect , loved every minute. Thanks
Love the 66 series IH Tractors!!
congrats on 2k subs jake!!!
Thanks!!
What is the small thing on top of the baler and what were you putting in it?....is it a preservative?
It’s a Gandy(preservative applicator). We apply Siko King to most of our hay. It’s a dry innoculant, which is much safer than acid, doesn’t smell, and doesn’t corrode equipment
YOU SURE LIVE IN A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
nice tractors and equipment.. dad and i had to replace the knotters twice
What is that you poured into that box on the back center of the baler?
SiloKing(Dry innoculant)
Great Job Pete!
I’ve never had to take hay bails to auction to sell. There’s always someone who wants to buy it right now.
Nice barns dude
Good luck

how much do those bales weigh? 100 plus bales an acre is a heck crop of hay
About 40lbs
I’m curious where you’re at in PA. No problem if you don’t care to be specific. Thanks for the content, great stuff
Chester county
I'm curious why drying takes so long?
Is it because you're not using a mower/conditioner?
It is a mower conditioner. Big reasons it takes so long: it’s first cutting so it’s very thick, lots of thick stemmy grass, humid climate, and the added alfalfa makes it take a little longer as well. 3-5 days is the average for drying hay around here
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 I'm in Ontario Canada and a good crop will be about 100 bales an acre. Usually cut one day, rake and bale the next
Nice old iron, would have been better if you had 4020 but I guess you can't have everything : - ))
I grew up in WI, both grandfathers were dairy farmers
No matter how dedicated of an IH or JD guy a farmer was the odds were really good they had a NH baler Both grandfathers one was JD man and the other an AC man had an NH baler, I don't remember the model number but it was from the 60's and without the bale thrower
How many bales you get in there just kicking em? I stack about 200 in one. Certainly pro's and con's to both approaches.
I can get around 150 when just kicking
You didn't look at the sky the afternoon you mowed the hay. There's a problem right there.
730? Can't beat a 316 baler. Dad bought mine in '84? Keeps poundin them out. Have a pan thrower. Unfortunately the motor for distance control is dead, can't find one. Used to be able to pretty much stack the front
Yessir a 730
Our neighbor Leo has his nieces in halter tops stacking bales on the wagon . It's really the simple pleasures on the farmI miss.
when you turn the hay over don’t you lose the alfalfa leaf?
Every pass of equipment will knock leaves off
Nice equipment all around
YOU JUST EARN MY SUB LOVE FARM VIDEOS
Thankyou!
What goes into the hopper on the baler?
Dry innoculant (SiloKing)
So it's bailed wet?
*baled
how much does a bail like this usually go for?
$7 around here
Go boating with the 966 ih. That's the ideal boat trip.
Erg mooi ding de balenpers
accumulator in the future?
Please
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 please?
Nice I got a 5209 I run with my 1066 to

What Tedder do you have?
just subscribed - great videos
Get you a big square or round baler and sell the small baler for scrap
Good video 👍🏻👍🏻
What state is this?
PA
cant beat new holland i have 570 it is a hogg for hay
They build some mighty fine machines!
Have a NH 316 and I can't for the life of be fix the random miss tie every 30 to 70 bales
That’s odd
The tedder is a little smal for that size of tractor😅😅 it should handle a ten rotor just fine
Oh I know it would!😂
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 a 60 horsepower tractor could handle it just fine horsepowerwise😅😂😂
Nice
Does same job as a 400k tractor can do😊
Saw those earbuds…. If you’re wearing them while operating machinery… enjoy your hearing loss and tinnitus
They have noise cancellation
Where do you live?i watch the veggie boys also.
❤❤❤😮
Where in the country are you?
PA
@@jakefromsteakfarm4177 OC NJ? We were just there. Cool baler.
👍🏻
😀🚜👍
When I saw your name I knew I had to follow and subscribed and lik😅
Thanks man😂
Your fortunate that God created the. Case c k 😅
OW please that's a lot of drama for hay bails.
Walk a mile!
New Holland small square balers weren’t any good when they were new if you gotta square bale idiot cubes get a freeman

Hate ride on videos. Want to look at the equipment. Need to find someone to man the camera.
I like both.

You would not have had to do all that tedding if you had mowed with a sicklebar mower.
sorry way to make hay as there is better ways
Small bales bring a nice premium around here
Average crop at best
