I have made this channel to try to show a different perspective or view of hay/forage farmers. I operate a small operation that is trying to grow and compete with larger grain farmers. I want to spread and share ideas with other farmers so we can all learn and progress as well as share information with non farmers so everyone can get a taste of the farm life and what work goes in to what we do. So please subscribe, like, share, and comment. If there are any questions or suggestions on content or anything just let me know and I will see what I can do.

That 25 should not have that popping in the exhaust. Sounds like you may have an exhaust valve that is way to loose. That will make it pop because the valve is opening late.
Thank you so much for the in depth video I was has a creeping issue on my machine. So I removed the pump. Going to tear into it tomorrow. And see in my bolts are broken or loose. Or maybe something else. Just being able to to the pump assembly’s apart was a major help. Thanks for sharing 👏
Glad I could help. It took care of my issue and it is still working well. I still have one side that is slightly faster than the other but better after this. Good luck
You literally skipped showing how to remove the knife arm. This is what I was looking for.......
Hmm...didn't watch the whole video? 9:30?
I HAVE 276 SUPER SWEEP
Yes I wished I had a man come out and repair and make adjustments. 75 is good.
How can i reach out to you i need a help with new holland 135
Tbh I get you . I thought you were going piking 50Ib. Great set up. I d love get my hands,on likes of it!
Thank you very much.
My dad is out doing the same thing with our old ford 5000.
Thank you!
Finally some good country music.
After a bout with Melanoma and a skin graft, I’ve been wearing a safari hat and long sleeves.
They definitely work
I do the same now but should have been doing 50 years ago!
Yeah I have my mom to thank for making me when I was younger and now it's just normal for me.
me
I bet hay was a 1650 little bales lots of massive 12 Baylor Right international 47 Baylor by the 1655 or 1650 square bales big hay with 1855 to 85 white
Where are you from sir
Southern IL
Sorry but the sun doesn't cause cancer sunscreen does and lotions and every other thing that we normally put on our body that has aluminum and other bad chemicals in it
Well then I'm good either way. I think it's just like every other thing in the world, too much of anything isn't good for you. If you're getting enough sun to burn I think it can't be good for you. I don't think sunscreen is good for you either. Hence the reason for the hat and long sleeves.
www.dadant.com/catalog/m01049-dadant-white-plastic-helmet They're the best sun hat there is. We call them safari hats. Some call them bee keepers hats and sometimes they're called sun helmets. They're plastic so the don't get soaked with swear and they wipe off if you get them dirty. Has an adjustable band to fit your head and holds it off your head which makes it cooler.
I could use one of those
Check out my pinned comment
5 strokes per bale
Do you put the wire mesh between each level or just every other level?
@@hansherygers4324 I put it between 2-3 and 5-6.
I'm not a farmer, but why do you disk a field instead of plowing it? Or is that doing the same thing?
@jimhammer2012 just quicker and easier. I don't have a plow and don't have to worry about a dead furrow. I do rip deap and then disc. Sometimes I chisel plow too. Just depends on what's needed.
I'm still running a sickle - reel machine , it has crimpers also.
It would make a great bon fire!
Why not make and unroller out of it ?
@@garykoch3923 you could easily modify it to include an u roller attachment on it if you wanted. I could do that if someone wanted it. I don't need it though.
$100.00 per hour at least. I live in NY and do a few knotter repairs. I like New Holland square bailers. Last one I repaired was a Model 67. Just last week.
My knoter works perfect but wen te nife arm goes back at his normaal plas the twine coms on the rong side of the bilhook
Great videos. I mostly make hay and graze.
Thanks
I cringe every time I see tykes unsecure on tractors. Friends have lost young children in situation like this!
Looks like more lube would be beneficial after you get the new parts in.!!
Where does it look like we aren't getting grease to? The areas I point about wear don't get lubrication. If you did, chaff would stick to it and cause all kinds of issues.
@@thebalerman Grease the knotters after 1500 bales. Once I did 3,600 bales a day without greasing. No problems. But when we changed one of our three New Hollands for another make knotter problems started after some 1,800 bales.
Both knotters are lose on the mounting frames .
Then you're good. What issues are you having?
We used to stack our bales into heaps of 48s and lead them with a 48 56 bale carrier most of the time it worked but every now and again we had one little accident like maybe 3 bales left in the field mate its so interesting to see how you make hay in the States mate thank you for the education my friend
problem damp hay solution silage
Could be for someone.
I don’t get why you were hitting that piece with the hammer?
The knife arm? I was adjust it to rub on the billhook.
Is that pink bush hog a statement buddy?😳
I assume you have to be talking about the red discbine? It's not a bushhog, also it's custom faded red haha
This Guy Is A Real Life Hero, Fuck Soldier's. This Guy Feeds The Country 💗
Haha I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, I appreciate it if not. If you're being sarcastic I don't glorify farmers, I think we all play our part. Not even sure I qualify as a farmer since I don't raise grains. Either way thanks for the comment
Nice basic explanation of why. Most people have no idea of the problems that can come from baling damp hay.
Thanks. Absolutely a complete loss if it's baled too high moisture.
Make hay while the sun shines
Right on!
Don’t need no tetter some foot this more they flat rake couldn’t bail it. You got it wide conditioner naturally you have to fluff it up and let it dry out more trips.
I thought horses n cows were supposed to eat green grass?
They eat green grass when it grows. However winter time things don't grow they go dormant so this is baled while it grows to get livestock through the winter months.
What’s the number of the tractor you’re using?
White 2-135
I have a Vermeer 9 foot cut. I just cut it. Let it dry unstoppable. Worry about no crimper. Don’t need a crimper Bell hunters acres a hay always dried good. I don’t need no tater to dry it back out. Usually a big crimper will put it in a big wind row and it won’t dry out so you gotta stand it back out re-rake it again, 9 foot three point laid out flat all kinds of hay and it always dried for me. The rake bailed up up wonderful
I struggle to make sense of your comment. But I will say everyone has their way of doing things. Crimper work. I can lay it out flat. The issue is the ground is wet. I windrow so the sun can dry it out before spreading with the tedder. This also keeps me from driving on the hay which it won't dry where I have driven on it and smashed it in the damp soil. Where are you located?
It’s a good idea to shut the tractor off when you get off don’t leave the power running. You don’t ever know when one of them will fly apart and hit you shut the tractor off before getting off unless you’re gonna look at it.
Ok. Say you’ve never run a tractor without saying you’ve never run a tractor. Or… say you work for OSHA without saying you’re a commie. Men have to work.
Don’t have to shut the tractor off, but shutting the pto off might be a good idea. I’ve seen pto’s come off and they will get thrown all over if there isn’t a guard
I knew this comment would come which is why I addressed it in the video. I was no where near the pto shaft or exposed moving shafts. As for turning off the tractor. You never just turn off something when running it under load without cooling off some. Tha KS for the comment though.
What size of white tractors on there I got a 222 I got 221-052-85 1650 1655 and 1855 and 1955. I like the white and Oliver got along real fine. They’re good for you, but what’s one on your on the video? Can’t quite see what brand it is.
It's a White 2-135 on the discbine. I bale with an Oliver 1650 diesel
Love the video and Marty singing!
Thanks. I like the good Ole stuff
I always figured a bale cart is the way to go.
When you say bale cart you're talking about one of those baskets that you dump at the barn? Or an accumulator?
Wyatt does pretty good for a 11-12 year old.
How long are your bales
About 36"
Good looking patch of hay. Raked up nice too
Thanks!
