That was a wonderful video. Thank you for taking the time to make this. My 4 year old son was very interested to know how hay bales were made. He loved this video. Thank you again!
I never worked on a farm but always had an interest in the machinery at work on the fields 🙂. Awesome video and thank you for showing the how it works 👍.
When I was six and a half, I drove a tractor hauling a baler, and wagon. One man grabbed the new bale, and tossed it to another who stacked in on the wagon. That was how early a farm boy started working. I remember it vividly. In fact my memory is so clear that near the end of the first part I could smell the hay. Just a memory but the odor was utterly clear. Hay smells wonderful.
Wow! You created a very informative video! It was exactly what I was looking for. Well done!!! 👏 Thank you so very much for sharing your time, talent, and knowledge! God bless you! And thank you, Peyton, for asking . 😘
Awesome video !! I'm tired of raking so I bought a large lawn sweeper, but still . . . I'm left with piles of grass . . . just brainstorming my next move:) But seriously, great video-editing and commenting and straight to the point !! Very helpful !! Thank you so much !! :) :)
I can only imagine the amount of time you spent to take the video and put it together. It may look easy but Hats off to you. I don't have that level of energy and patience. Watching from Kenya.
Thanks for the comment. I always aspire to make more content but it does take time when you are actually trying to get work done. I plan to make some changes this season and will be sure to update w new videos
Thanks for posting, always wondered how the inline baler worked compared to a 14T. Part 2 can be all the uses for the twine string after feeding the hay
I was so curious on how all farm equipment works. This video was very helpful and pretty much the only one out there! Great vid helped a lot! Odd name I want to know the background of that😂
Many thanks for this video🙂 I'd like to make square bales for Hay Building applications. At this purpose, I'd like to have the possibility to adjust the length and compression of the bales. Do you think it is possible to "tune" the baler a little bit in order to achieve this. If yes, how ? Thanks in advance for your reply !
Fundamentally, it's generally the same to adjust bales. I would look into specifics when shopping for a baler. For ours, we can add wedges in the chamber to add resistance and increase compression. Also, there is a hydraulic press that is adjusted w a knob on baker to squeeze the end of the chamber down to increase density. Finally, there is trip that can be adjusted for when knotters go through to tie and complete the bales (this determines the length). So, yes, varying lengths and density is possible.
So when you feed square bales and you divvy it up by the “flakes” that are already pretty much separated from each other. I’m guessing each one of those “flakes” is one rotation of the masher. If any of that makes sense, am I correct?
Thanks for this great video! I've always wondered how these work, and your video does a great job showing all the steps. Do you have a lot of maintenance on that thing? It seems like with so many rapidly moving parts, it would break down often.
Surprisingly durable. I've heard of some guys doing corn stalks with small square balers and imagine the dirt and stalks would be more wear and tear. Ours gets the easy treatment with doing all grass hay. It's softer and doesn't get a lot of added debris. As far as maintenance, its essential to keep it greased as the manufacturer recommends. Also, there are shear pins designed to fail before there's a catastrophic failure. If we hit something thick, the shear pin will break and disengage the flywheel from the system. Then we just clear a jam, put in a new pin and back to work within 5mins. It's done about 4000 to 5000 bales a year for the last 5 years without any major repairs needed.
@@farmdadwordbarf4115 Thank you for the detailed response! I'm planning on buying some land in a few years, and am learning all I can in the meantime. You video and response helps a lot. Thanks again, sir.
There is a TH-cam video that shows how the knotter works. It is old and blurry, but it does show a baler knotter is slow motion. th-cam.com/video/ZoB_1meRa9A/w-d-xo.html
It's amazing how someone came up with that notter setup

That is a hell of a four legged supervisor you have there. Doing God's work. Good Boi.

All I remember from bailing is stay clear a way of the bailer. It’s magic when it works and hell when it doesn’t. Thanks so much for showing this.
Was just watching someone bale hay today and wanted to see how this machine works. Very good video explaining.
I do miss this so much, used to pull and stack small bales, used a different baler, still had a blast.

Love your dog... that's the happiest companion to help you do your work. They love this stuff :)

Great breakdown of the functionality of the baler. Never had a clue as to the workings. Ingenious!

Thanks for posting. I need a baler and had no idea how they worked until now.
Well done sir. I grew up on a hay farm and the engineering in these old bailers fascinated me.
And the knotters haven't changed much in almost 100yrs if you go to the binder days. Those were true engineers.

Got a neighbour working on his baler as the rice has been harvested, very interesting.
I am seven years old. There is a short article on hay baler .My teacher just shows me your interesting video . Thanks
That's awesome! Glad it could help explain a few things.

@@farmdadwordbarf4115 Thanks for these clarifications ! To you and your family all the best for 2022 !
How does the hay stay in that square shape even when somebody sits on it?
Does the "escort dog" come factory standard, or is that an aftermarket option? 😏
It's a 3rd party aftermarket part. Mixed opinions on its application for haying.
So when you feed square bales and you divvy it up by the “flakes” that are already pretty much separated from each other. I’m guessing each one of those “flakes” is one rotation of the masher. If any of that makes sense, am I correct?
That's correct.
So the flakes are from the ram in a cycle? I always imagined they were cut! This video was awesome thank you!

Nice relaxing video, thanks. For the 'knot-part' other channels have better explanation.
Zetor 👌🏼💪🏼
You don't happen to live in Tennessee and sell quality horse hay do ya???
Unfortunately, no. I'm in the flyover country of Nebraska.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Welp that's the end of thinking if a person could survive a baler
Somebody should make toy versions of these so us blind people can understand better by feeling how it all works.

Fs19 anyone?
I go through phases with that game. Play a bit... then get caught up with the to-do list I neglected.

Farm Dad Word Barf i wanna play with you on oakfield farm tho 😥
