    Nice variety of hay harvesting equipment. We have a small alfalfa field that the farmer mostly does the large round rolls, but sometimes does the small squares. I helped bale hay by hand for a farmer when I was young. Everybody should try that once to appreciate farming.

    Fantastic operation...... We run multiple Round Balers.. because of the speed and distance enable us to get it under cover faster. Also we can convert to small squares as needed.... The integrity of the hay is preserved...... Bundles have a just baled look.....

    • @FailureatRetirement
      @FailureatRetirement  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you. I think round bales are becoming more common here in the last couple of years. Still only a few people doing it though. Big square bales are more common and also growing in popularity. I will be making a video about stacking them as soon as I can. We have dry summers so outside of a spring shower getting them under cover isn’t really a thing. Appreciate you watching.

      We Sort of were thrust into the "Commercial" Hay Business by a landowner whom we were renting open land for Cotton & peanuts..... Within 3 years row crops had ceased and we were providing small squares by contract to a national known Ag supply (TSC)stores in our general area....... We Are adding more as we locate and purchase more 53ft enclosed trailers.. We drop and hook deliveries.....always keep at least 1 trailer loaded (39-21 bale baron bundles)..... We usually rebale every weekend, rain or shine......

    Fantastic to see the New Holland balers still going strong. My Father used several New Holland balers over about 30 years contracting to neighbouring farmers here in Australia. I well remember one of the first models was powered by a V4 Wisconsin and pulled by his Fordson major tractor. He baled thousands of bales with that baler. I helped bring in thousands of these bales into the hay shed.
    These days I refer to them as idiot bricks. New Holland bales were by far the best.

      It was. Not the worst I’ve had but bad enough. We got a serious rain about the time we should have cut and it started going down then. From there it took about two weeks for the ground to dry and for me to get my turn in the line.
