That’s awesome Evan! Looks to be in great shape. I think you’ll really like it compared to your old new Holland
If you follow Pete from Just a few acres he runs a Gehl 1860. He could give you a few tips on repair and running it
You would have thought the dealer would have checked it over and got rid of the birds nest before delivery.
Now we're talkin Evan..That thing will save y'all a lot of work.
Do you do a straw because then you probably should use a square baler
@@jamescarnes5550 no when I need straw I just buy a few bails. I never need more than 3 or 4.
Congrats on a round baler.
It’s always good to see spring/summer farm preparations happening!
congrats man, enjoy watching your progress. Good luck this season!
Good for you!!! Praying it works good.
That's a very nice baler! Enjoyed watching!
Baling you’re own hay will be wonderful! Love your channel
That’s a nice addition to your farm. Can’t wait to see it in action! Take care Brother
congrats on the new bailer, looks and sounds like a tight machine.
Very nice looking baler. Glad you are able to finally get you one. Will make haying easier!
Love hay season. Glad you found u a baler 👏👏
Very interesting video....thanks for explaining everything....Great Job !
A step in the round direction! Congrats!
Good job on the purchase! 👍
Always nice learning from you
Looks like a great buy, hopefully everything will work when you start bailing hay. 🤞
Awesome you got a new to you baler I would be so tempted to pull out some of my square bales and try it to play with it
Looks like you have your bases covered. Good work Evan.
Evan the bailer look like it's in good shape hope you have great luck with it.
Evan great purchase Homestead! My grandfather said patience is a value and you waited what you need
Looks great !
Smart decision switching from small squares to rounds.
Hi, Evan and Rebekah! Nice purchase.
Look at you all fancy! Good looking baler. Now you're going to need a bale spike to haul those bales in from the field. More fun to come!
Hey Evan, that's great, I can tell you're very excited to use the new baler. You and Rebecca should be very proud of everything you have accomplished..........outstanding job.
looks good Evan
GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW PLAYTOY!
Great video looks a really good baler
Love the way you get excited when something goes your way, like when the belts began rolling.
congrats with the baler. Wish you all the best with it. Greetings from Belgium
Wow! That's great, Evan. Another new farm toy. That should make baling hay a lot easier. It looks good. The fields look great.
Good luck Evan. Nice video
Looks awesome man congratulations!
I’m glad for you having hope everything works out for you I think you’ll like the round baler less work
You are so handy !
Major back saver, congrats
You will love the bailer. I have the same one and belts often slip until a bit of hay gets in the chamber. Makes great hard bales and if you buy standing hay it means less bales because of the tightness of the bales. Also incredible to see the bell as it’s getting bigger in the chamber very easy to make sure it’s level and straight so you don’t make pylons but nice bales instead
Good luck getting parts.
Congrats on your new baler! I too just bought a baler, snagged the last new Krone F130 4x4 baler in America. Looking forward to baling, should be in a month or so.
Looks like you going to have a nice hay crop the end of may and the end of June.
With you having three tractors you also have the bonus of hooking the mower or haybine on one, the rake on another and the baler on the third. No worries with unhooking and hooking on implements. Plus if one breaks down you have options.
Congratulations Evan, you won't be under the gun to get your hay stored now. Looks to be in great shape too. Now if it rains on hay day you don't need to worry about your hay going to waste. Thats a win, win.
Done watched it 2 times it looks like a great bailer
Evan,you are so smart.
Yessssss. Been waiting on a hay update
Awesome can't wait to watch it work awesome video ✌️💯 great investment
Evan this day and time options are great spare wear parts are great too. It's like all the way from lawn equipment to farm equipment part are becoming more scarce. So get them while the getting good. 👍🇺🇸
First time watching your channel and it will not be the last.. congrats on your round baler nice
Hi.... Evan, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🏡🎥👍👍👍
You need the round baler love it hope it will work out for you hay will let longer from steve c from state Oregon
I believe that I read an interesting thing about alfalfa in that the plants naturally thin themselves out as they in some way "poison" the land to other alfalfa plants. So the alfalfa plants gradually thin themselves out and about every three years an alfalfa field needs to be planted into something else for a year before it can be planted in alfalfa again.
I grew up on a small farm and we raised sheep. We would pasture them during the summer on different small grass areas like around areas where equipment got parked. They kept the grass nicely trimmed and made it easy to get at the equipment.
We planted hay fields that were primarily red clover combined with a couple of grasses. The hay fields were never in the same place for very many years just due to standard crop rotation. There would be corn and soybeans plus oats for feed and bedding straw (we also used corn cobs as part of bedding) and the hay field. The oats field would change every year along with the corn and soybeans but the hay field only moved once every 3 or 4 years.
Baling red clover hay is interesting as you couldn't handle it to much, like you can grass hay, or you would loose the leaves and you can't let it get to dry before you baled it or you would again loose the leaves but you couldn't bale it too wet or you'd burn the barn down. Baling it always seemed to be such a gamble as we didn't have the assistance of things like moisture meters and such things. The cut fields would have to be closely monitored and when it was ready it seemed like it needed to be baled right NOW. That is a bit of an exaggeration, but still, it was always critical.
Evan, i am glad you found a round baler and it looks like it is in very good condition, so you will probably have little maintenance on it and I like the round bales. The round bales can be picked up with a hay stake and drop them into a round feeder for the cows and goats and the round baler will be quicker.
Looks like a good find with the Gehl 1475 baler. Always good to have options when baling hay. Just like the square baler, you want to keep that round baler stored inside out of the weather. Good luck with it.
Good luck with your new toy
Make sure your sickle-bar is tuned up. You are well versed in how it works, keep that in your back pocket.
It is nice you got the round bailer and a hay bine.
Do you remember when you tried to the spool of wire the first time? The lessons then prepared you for this season.
Looks like it a nice working baler
Very nice, buying local is the right thing to do. You might get a hydraulic hose wrap protector and run your electrical line through it as well. The tough part are the turns and bends. Congratulations on the purchase. Enjoyed your potato planting video, as well as the baby goats being born.
Congratulations Evan and Rebecca on the new to you baler, hopefully it will do you folks a lot of great work . Thanks for sharing with us, it looks like it's going to fit right in around there. Fred
There are many reasons that Gehl is no longer in the Agriculture business. Spent many hours on D17, JD 4020, JD 830. Keep chains lubed on that baler. Considering carrying a laser thermometer gun. Bad bearings is what burn the balers to the ground. Lots of people around here also carry a water fire extinguisher.
Addition: proper belt length is important. Same stretch Sometimes they say it needs a minimum splice length. And same stretch in splice replacement pieces.
Good looking baler Evan. Some people will use a leaf blower after use in the field to keep the mess away from the homestead. I’m jelly
I had the same Bailers for a couple years and fought it intil I got a Deere.....good luck my friend as you will need it!!!!
Nice find, pays to search and wait
Hello Evan baler looks great. You may want to run it for half hour hour and then make sure the bearings are cold. I never liked making the big bales because of having to drive side to side to make the bales even but its necessary. Will be waiting to see how it works. Have a great day.
That’s a solid baler. I had a friend with a single man operation, he round baled to get it off the field then as needed he would break them down and pitchfork it into a square baler next to the barn so it was easy to manage by himself. He only square baled what he could sell to to small operations that needed 10-20 bales at a time. That first field looks like you could take a crop anytime. Good luck and have fun.
Your red weed that looks like clover is "red dead nettle" (it goes by other names too) (Lamium purpureum). It is a common invasive. Nice baler! You're going to love that along with the new hay bine! Hay season will be much different for you this year!
Good for you. Work smarter not harder!
I do round bales with a vermeer. I think you'll like it but you'll still probably want a few squares to keep around. That actually looks like a really clean baler to be that old!
I think it's called a constant velocity joint at the PTO
Good job showing telling,will be watching for the next video of you cutting racking and baling. So we’ll see you next time see ya bye.
Love the baler, you'll like the ease of feeding it the the animals. Those weeds in the hay field are "Creeping Charlie". At least that is what it is called in northern Illinois.
I got to look over one of those years ago when I worked for a Deere dealer. They looked like a well built machine. I’ve only seen a couple in my area, we didn’t have a strong dealer for them here. That one looks in really good condition for its age.
Don’t forget to add oil to the belt pressure accumulator. A good looking baler. I agree it looks like someone took good care of it. Another great video. Keep up the great work!
It maybe a good idea to fuse the bailer power line. I had trailer package installed on my truck and it shorted and melted the wires. I think it was a breaker they installed the second time. Things happen and it all worked out. Just thought it might be helpful along with a good fire plan. The good thing is you can check your bearings with the laser temp prob. It looks like a very nice machine. You can tell when they are used hard. It was a great find. Our local equipment dealer seems to be stocked on used equipment. Now it quite a lap around the building to see it all. Seems like a lot of nice stuff is showing up on the market.
Great video of your new Baler. FYI, a lot of farmers will loosen the belt tension, through the winter, when not in use to save the belt wear n tear.
Like the Baler Evan .
Great baler! 👍🏻
But you should get a cover for the PTO so nothing can
accidently wrap around it while it's turning.
Thanks lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Congratulations ! Bailer ,
simpler is easier to work on
Looks to be in top notch shape. Hopefully you won’t have to many issues with it. Like quite a few others commented, I would suggest you keep a laser thermometer to check the bearings periodically, mount a water fire extinguisher 🧯 to the tractor or somewhere easily accessible on the baler, and keep it cleaned out with a leaf blower after every day’s use.
Always a gamble but hopefully you've got a bargain that will serve you well! 🙏 Strange that the dealership didn't top off that oil? Welcome to the vagaries of farming and your own particular land when it comes to cropping!
Nice looks looking bailer. I have a New Holland 644 that can bale a 4x5 too. I prefer a bale a bit bigger than 4’ (but not a 5’) as it fits well in my barns. When you store in the barn turn the first two layers on their end and cap with a top bale as it lays in the field. I do this to protect the twine from ground moisture which will cause it to decay. Furthermore, your baler appears to be a close throat baler which bale extremely dense bales. This will require you to have extremely dry hay or it will clog up. My baler is an open throat and they are a bit more forgiving if you run into a wet spot.
Good luck baling this summer!!
Looks like a GOOD used bailer.
That looks like it well taken care of through the year. I hope it works well for you this year. Have a Blessed day.
@William Rogard Va.
@William Rogard It's been up and down all Spring. From the 40's to the 90 one day. This week it is to be mid 80's all week. Not bad because the humidity is low.
@William Rogard Rather not thank you.
I believe it to be purple dead nettle. It is one of the first things to forage for in spring. Chickens love it also.
You'll like that baler I have the 1465 model great balers
couple of tips Evan, before you go bailing let that run awhile use your temp gun check your bearings for heat, buy all the twine you need for the year early, your pallet forks will handle moving bails just fine,im thrilled for you!!!
Nice Baler!
The double U-Joint is called a constant velocity joint or CV Joint. Looks like a clean baler; I hope it works well for you.
Can't wait to see your new baler in action. With all the equipment you have you need to invest in a pressure washer
Agreed!
Awesome, Square versus round, it all depends on your operation, our hay storage is a large hay loft so round bales won't work for us, we do over 1000 square bales a year , but putting up in the loft is really the only manual labor we have, plus our cattle feeders are in a cattle shed, so feeding with round bales also would require more work or redesign of the cattle shed. It's all about what works for your operation, plus we also sell hay, small square actually sell easier for us.
Round bales are excellent in my opinion for many reasons. Time savings and one man operation from field to barn. Less trips, less feed runs. I was once doing 475 acres by my self, feeding two herds so excellent when also doing 6 commercial chicken houses with the wife.
Those weeds are purple dead nettle. They are a winter annual and after first cut they are done. Spraying a pre emergent in the fall will take care of them.
Make sure to routinely oil the drive chains inside the baler. Works good when baler is runing at an idle
looks like a good baler .we had a older model 1400 we tried to bale baleage bales and it sure didnt work to good for that,but dry baling was all right . make sure your belt splices are all in good shape . i have a jd 457 , i coverted the jd splices to alligator splices . because jd tool is expensive and you can put new splices on your belts without taking them out of the baler.
Looks like a nice piece of equipment. Should make baling hay much easier.
Good looking baler! We run the same model on our farm.
You definitely have a well maintained ,shed kept, not abused baler.will last you a long time.
Don’t forget the oil! Have fun testing it!
You’ll love it I own a 1460 fir ten years makes a very tight bale . Check for lacings on belts weakest spot of baler . Good luck
Watch your videos from time to time and i like them, like to watch you learn, i hope you got the baler really cheap because parts are non existent now. my 2 cents sell it while it still runs and you can get your money back and get something that you can still get parts for..........Look forward to see how it treats you tho because, you will try it now that you have it, and i hope you like it.....and i sure hope it don't break and you need anything more than a generic bearing that you can get at local parts store....good luck
