we use them in Central Wash, baling timothy and alfalfa, mostly the 370sp model being used, good baling, can bale up to 16 to 17 tons per hour. I myself have baled over 800 tons in year 2018 alone. the folks in the Northern Eastern part of the US should watch this video.
That's a slick baler. Some of the issues in the north east for baling dry hay, first is the humidity. It takes 3 to 4 days in June July and August because of heavy dew. I don't leave dry out at night. I certainly can't let it set on the ground overnight. Second, a lot of fields are 10 acres. Most people who bale small squares here do it for side money. Most of it is for horses or hobby farms. Bales weigh between 30 to 70 lbs. John Deere and New Holland are popular here and many people use a kicker. My wagons hold around 130 bales. I have 5 wagons. My favorite method of storing is in a timber frame bank dairy barns. If I can find help unloading wagons it's not difficult for a small operation to make a little bit of side money. Since it is becoming more difficult to get help and I am not getting younger , I am starting to think about bale accumulators. When we had cows we used to put up 15,000 70 lb bales. Not bad for 2 guys who had cows to milk and 500 sheep to feed plus row crops. Farmers that do large amounts of hay are doing haylage bales and are now making it in large squares. Large livestock/dairy operations are chopping haylage and storing it in a bunker silo. The rest use round balers. This works good in they are stored inside. I live in south east Michigan. It looks like a cool baler and I would like to run one.
@@danw6014 i agree sir, i live in western Maryland and we sell hay in Virginia for the horse people there, we sometimes have to use preservatives, but we do get alot of hay at around 9% to 12%
@@danw6014 in Central Wash, when we bale, timothy hay, we have to cut the hay, and wait at least 5 to 7 days before baling, and we also, either fluff or use a rotary rake to stir up the windrows, which are 14ft. the tonnage for first cut is 4.5 to 5 per acre, with 2nd cut about half of first cutting. We also have a lot of warm winds to help dry out the hay, bale at 6% to no more then 12%
@@stevenbetassa7329 that's pretty good tonnage. When my hay hits 20% I start baling. It keeps good at that moisture but anymore and you start asking for trouble. I plant a variety of grasses along with alfalfa. We get 3 to 4 cuttings here. The dairy farms sometimes get 5. Small square bales are extremely inefficient but there is a market for them. Bale accumulators are gaining popularity but the down fall of that is the usability of the old barns is reduced and the increase investment in equipment. Like I said, here most farmers do hay for side money. I personally gross between $25,000 to $45,000 a year which is chicken feed but with a full time job, part time job, freezer beef and lambs, hay and corn, I'm diversified and never wonder where my next meal is coming from.
@@danw6014 almost most of our hay that is grown in out valley is shipped either overseas, or Calif, in fact a number of our rancher's bring in feeder hay from other part of the State to feed there cattle. and the hay we bale , is then rebuild again at the hay brokers and shipped in containers, thus the reason for low moisture %. Where I live is the crossroad of Central Wash , so we have like 9 to 11 Timothy brokers that ship overseas, here in our town, we get our valley hay, alone with hay from Columbia Basin Area, and towards Idaho also, then shipped to the ports in Tacoma Wash
I drove one in the 70’s. Ours was probably a late 60’s model. It had two engines.One that moved the baler the other engine powered the baling mechanism. Ours didn’t have a cab.
my gosh, it must be dusty with both doors and windows open, Ive have baled with this baler for 4 summers now, and with everything closed and it still dusty, have to wear a mask and special glasses to keep the dust out or myself.
Freeman was a great company, located in Portland Oregon on Vaughn Street. I owned 2 of their 3 tie Model 330 bought new in 1971. I still remember the Phone 503 222 1971. I farm 50 miles south so they were my closest parts source. Percy Freeman (short) always personally greeted me. His sons Mike, Perk would take me to lunch if I came in at noon. In 1977 I asked Short if they could custom build me a SP big baler. His response was they would provide parts and engineering if I wanted to do myself ! We constructed it and had them come to the farm and watch it bale. Not long after they began building their 1st big baler.
twine bales for the past 40 years, 3 tie bales will weight between 115 to 120 lbs for grass or timothy hay. Alfalfa will bale a little heavier, 120 to 140. Diesel powered, the older Freeman balers used AC diesel's and the newer balers of 1990's and newer, Cummings or JD
@@johneygeorgeowoseb7814 Africa? didn't know hay was grown there, these older Self Propelled balers made by Freeman wore sold in the Western United States, where the fields are big and heavy tonage, only a few are left, in my Valley maybe 30 to 40 of them, problem is the parts would be hard to get in Africa, and any Freeman parts are expensive, most of these older balers are sold in farm auction's, very slim chance on seeing one of these in a used equipment lot. Check Tractorhouse.com, I know in Montana, there wore a couple for sale, with smaller bale chambers then the ones out in Wash State, meaning, those balers in Montana wouldn't have much of a market here.
Freeman makes the balers outside of Portland Or. they have both pull type and SP Balers, they have been making balers since 1950's, used mostly in the West Coast, for bigger farmers and heavier hay, the new Freeman balers, that are SP model 380 or 385 sell over $200K and only a few are made, most newer balers are still the pull type, and now some of the farmers are going with the big bales, 4x3x8ft.
@@stevenbetassa7329 thanks for the info and staying in the country while making it sir. I guess you don't still make the original design anymore do you??
@@andrewbeckman351 that SP baler you saw on the video, that type of model was the same for over 20 years, just the 370 models wore bigger in size of the pickup and either had the Cummings or JD Engines. the older models wore 330's Freeman stop making these SP balers around 2000 or 02, and a Man in my hometown, started to make a few from diff parts, such as the cab was from JD, and pickup was from another brand of balers, ect, and few of them wore sold to the locals farmers, and a few went overseas, , but now Freeman is back making a few SP balers, but very expensive, heck even a pull type balers, 370 sells for 70K or more, with engine.

Stanley Steffen do you know if they ever made a self propelled 14x18 baler?
Frank Seber I don’t recall any but J D Russell has a resent copy of a Freeman 14x18 SP conversion made in Elennsburg WA
Are those twine or wire tie?
The bales look hell for tight, I'd guess wire.
Gas or diesel?
North Dakota so many questions.

Hi, interesting , really nice equipment.
3 wire bales - what do they weigh. And you don't need AC in the Rockies much
grass or timothy hay bales weight 115 to 120lbs and alfalfa will weight 120 to 140lbs
Ваууу 👍👍👍👍😁
Interesting that it drops the bales on their sides.
That’s so the can be picked up with a bale wagon
Keeps the strings off the ground too. Or wires.. which ever

Yes, initially going by the design and the scenery I thought this was in Australia at first.
