Absent Minded Farmer Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Tony, that must be a great feeling seeing it in action. Congrats on completing your project. That baler is just gorgeous! Doesn't seem to be pushing the MTA around much either, which is good. BJ, many thanks for hosting & posting the video(s). Mike 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowaboy1965 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Always liked watching a baler work. Something about nice hay going in the front and nice square bales coming out the back is just satisfying. Or maybe I just enjoy all the motion and commotion? ? In any case it looks great Tony! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There still is a decent demand for three ties .

Saw his men going through forking out any grass in windrows to the burn pile . when you buy a truckload of his hay every slice is going to be perfect .

hardtail Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 What does he use to pick them up a bale wagon, self propelled or pull type? I had said earlier when I was 15 I did 10,000 bales that summer touching 3 times, one guy made huge bales they were in the 80-100 lb range, he had one of those Ford pickups were the box and cab were one and would crack, that was a problem but the loads we put on it helped those cracks travel a little bit, should have drilled the ends thinking back now, might have slowed down progression 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nepoweshiekfarmalls Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Wow, that baler is so smooth and quiet in those videos! That hay just vanishes in front of it, and the ground is nice and clean after it passes. Excellent work, Tony! Any Herb updates soon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
