@@farmingwithbiology Shit happens haha. Those bale chasers are badass, I run one with the side squeeze transport arms, helps get that stack perfect. Do about 15-18k tons of rice straw a year here in Norcal. Way superior to the Mil-stak pull behinds. Bale chasers are built TOUGH.
Apologize for the question, but I'm French and it's not so easy to understand you bro. What is the name of machine between the tractor and the baler? Its aim is to evaporate excess water in the hay? What is the final dry matter rate in your bales? Thanks!
That is the question that keeps you awake at night when you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipment, and have employees who look to you for their livelihood. We do live in an ancient lakebed that historically received a lot of water. It was a project created in the 1900 s By president Theodore Roosevelt. So when the water is gone I guess that means there is a famine and all those cows will be starving, the price of food will go up.
That machine makes my life immensely more enjoyable. I can bale hay without having to time the inconsistent humidity to soften the leaves. It is called a steamer But is basically a boiler on wheels. We control the amount of steam that gives moisture to the alfalfa and creates a beautiful leafy bale. The are made by Staheli. I ll do a video on it soon. Thanks for watching.
The squeeze is a Sunny D conversion done in Klamath Falls OR. If you bring them the right truck with Allison transmission they can convert it into a squeeze. I welded up the cab on the back. Thanks for watching.
I've never seen a hay steamer. We dont have such implements in germany, our fields are to small and its to expensive. We mow, let it ley for 3 days and tun it over dayly, and on the 4th day we make bales.
Depends on the drying of the hay, I am a hay farmer from the Netherlands. I've never aconpliched to get dry hay in less than 5 days. Cutted at wednesday 11:00 baled at sunday 15:00. It still wasn't all as dry as I would like. A few bales where too wet
@@KevinJD2030 you say it right: HAY, thats alfa alfa, you need moistoure for preserving the leaf, i dont know why the are baling with this type of tool bcs you can simply baling at night or inner morning for a good amount of moistoure. Hay i think dont need this type of treatment. i live in Italy and we baling at night for alfa alfa.
So you steam the hay just as it's baled. What is going on when you turn around and the steam shooting in the sky ? If you don't it will kill the alfalfa and grass in the soil ?
Maybe sometime I ll do a video on how the steamers work they are amazing machines that make baling so much more efficient. On the pickup header it has nozzles for the steam to come out. we adjust the rate of steam on how wet or dry the conditions are. The steam purge is so when you turn off the steam at the end of the row the extra pressure has somewhere to go. If we left the steam going on our turns the biggest effect would be putting excessive moisture in the hay that hasn't moved through pickup area or excess moisture on the baler. It wouldn't burn up the alfalfa, not enough pressure only 12 psi. Thanks for watching
It isn't a bottle neck if you run 2. Yeah the big mowers 30 ft wide are very cool, but expensive. The way they lay the hay out with the conditioners isn't as nice I think as the John Deere or Massey Windrowers. Also Driving a swather with hydro motors is really fun. Thanks for watching.
That is called a steamer made by Staheli. It's an amazing story of the creativity of one guy who saw the needs and brought it to market. It provides the moisture to soften the alfalfa and keep the leaves from shattering. With the steamer we can bale one when the temperature is below 70 degrees and allows us to be way more productive. The steam when it shoots out is to relieve the pressure from the boiler. Thanks for watching hope to do a video on it soon.
Hello, yeah the field was pretty rough with squirrel mounds so it was picking up a lot of dirt. I almost didn't want to put that shot in because of the amount of dust. As you can see in the second shot with the newer tractor he had the height set better and was smoother section of the field. Thanks for watching!
I m sorry I hurt your feelings. If you listen closely I was repeating what the Mexican man I was talking to said. So listen closely. That being said Trump is a friend of agriculture. I m glad you were enjoying the video before I offended you.
The name FastTrack speaks for itself!...They move!✅️🐎🐎💯💯💯💯💯⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍And that Hay Lift is definitely one of a kind 👍👍
Bro's got No idea that tractor is called Fastrac
Thanks for sharing this Curtis. Things have greatly improved since I was in Tulelake 😂
Thanks Barbie. Uncle Bill should have planted alfalfa. Ha
Beating the absolute piss out of that merger damn!
Yeah, I hesitated even adding that footage cause it was so bad. a bunch of gopher mounds and my driver having the hitch setting too low.

it's the first time I see steaming the hay.

Thanks!
The hay harvest scene is very interesting.
Rippin!
Why such a small self propelled mower ??
It has only one use
Why not a tractor with triple mower?
You can use the tractor for other work
Agree 30 feet a better baler feed! Even in Canada
Does all the dust when rowing up not affect the quality of the hay ?
Like this comment if you think @farmingwithbiology should make more videos with steamers
Sorry, but i have never understood the use of the those mowers, wouldnt it be cheaper and more efficient to use triple mowers on a normal tractor?
Amazing what you can do in the desert with access to water. What happens when it's gone?
That is the proverbial $24,000 question. And my proverbial guess is that they think someone will find another way to do it when that happens. Amen

Good job 👏 ❤
What does the machine in between do?
8:28 what its that a machine that first behind the john deere?

Google is your friend just type in the machines name and you have llama infos and details about it….
Where did you buy your squeeze? We need one for the farm, thank you!!
The squeeze is a Sunny D conversion done in Klamath Falls OR. If you bring them the right truck with Allison transmission they can convert it into a squeeze. I welded up the cab on the back. Thanks for watching.
Is the baler pre plumbed for the steamer?
I've never seen a hay steamer. We dont have such implements in germany, our fields are to small and its to expensive. We mow, let it ley for 3 days and tun it over dayly, and on the 4th day we make bales.

From the first picture I have never seen this and thought you had a steam 🚂 tractor🚜. Pulling modern equipment. Real nice.
@@farmingwithbiology so you are using superheated steam ?
Amazing...
Okay the bottle neck is the mower. Why do you use this small car? New mower on a tractor have a wide of 9 meter / 30 feet or more.
It isn't a bottle neck if you run 2. Yeah the big mowers 30 ft wide are very cool, but expensive. The way they lay the hay out with the conditioners isn't as nice I think as the John Deere or Massey Windrowers. Also Driving a swather with hydro motors is really fun. Thanks for watching.
what is that thing behind the tractor and in front of the baler, why do you need it?
why is something smoking like that?
