Franks Bale Stacker
Вставка

- This machine was invented by Francis Henderson of Oathill Farm Enstone Oxon. It has stacked over two million bales over the last 20 years, in blocks of 40 bales. They are then picked up by his sister with his bale squeezer on the front of a teleporter. See Louise stacking bales.
Probably the best accumulator I've seen for small squares. Well done
That’s a NEAT piece of kit and it also saves a lot ground pressure being applied to the grass/arable land and whoever came up with this wonderful piece of engineering deserves a giant beer 🍺.
Very impressive! Very few British farmers use small bales . They have handling systems for feeding large bales.
The designer and builder of this stacker Frank Henderson, his father wrote a book called the "Farming Ladder" and several other books in the 1930s. Graham Harvey who wrote the "Archers" for 30 years has written a play about the Franks mother, its called "No Finer Life" and it has been touring southern England.
Awesome machine! We stack by hand here, tieing as we go, and I've always criticized bale stackers for not doing it. Problem solved
Brilliant Invention👏, the guy who created this is genius in my book👍 if anyone ever has one for sale I'd be keen to hear from them
Well it’s interesting your stacker you built . I have a 1033 New Holland bale wagon 103 bales loaded bought it for $5000. Used and it works great.
That is a hay handling system that I'm impressed with. Where was that when we were back on the farm putting up hay in the 60s?
Where was it in the 70s😀
sweet that looks like it could help. racks work well to though. just need more than one person working.
That is just plain old slick and beats the heck out of a stooker that I spent way too many long days on.
My wife drove the baler, and, i stacked, and, depending on how heavy the windrows were, i could easily bale a thousand bales a day. That was about eight racks, of course i was young and strong, one day, i had a lot of hay down and the weather was perfect, i borrowed racks from a neighbor and i baled 1500 bales in one long day, easy to do when you are in your twenties, not so easy as you get older. Neat machine, surprised someone is not selling them in the US.
Very impressive machine
When that thing is full, that's an awful lot of leverage on the back of the baler. Could do with the addition of a large castor wheel at each rear corner to relieve the leverage on the baler. Other than that, looks like a clever piece of Engineering for a home built device
That sounds interesting would be good to see a film of that to
Do YE still make them as we have 8 bale system but always fails for ous
Amazing 👌👌👏👏👍👍
What happens when neither does not work and don’t tie send me home what would happen to the machine
is there a video of stacking the stacks on the trailer
See louise loading bales, not the best demo as the field was really rough.
👌💯💯💯💯💯👍😘Grande invenzione
Be nice if you could load the whole stack at once on a trailer since it already crisscrossed.
That's what we do!
Beautiful countryside there I looked it up on google earth
I see so many of these complicated fancy devices, what ever happened to just pulling the wagon and loading the bales. seems to me with these things there is the need for more and more handling. I farmed for many years and wagons always served us just fine, me and my father could easily put up 700 to 900 bales a day, baled, loaded, hauled home and stacked in the mow.
There are always farmers completely unwilling to move forward with technology. Usually those farmers are the ones working 14 hour days, with no vacation time, small profit margins and little to no life outside of their farms. 700 to 900 bales of hay is all well and good, but with a machine, it is possible to easily quadruple that number.
This system also makes sense from the monetary aspect, even for smaller farms. It is very difficult to do 1000 bales of hay in one day without at least one additional helper. Figure on the $10 bucks an hour for 10 hours, that is $100 a day. Won't take long at that rate to make back the cost. Plus good help is hard to find.
Back in 1968 my family put up 1000 acres of alfalfa hay 4 times (cuttings) per year for a man in
Washington State. My sister ran the swather putting down 100 acres per day. My Father, mother and brother ran three JD 214 wire tie balers after the dew came in every night. I ran the Haro-bed and put up 4000 bales per day stacked at the edge of the field to be loaded out for sale to dairy farms over on the west side of the cascade mountains. Mechinazation is the only way to go.

In most cases machinery replaces labor. Labor to do baling is nearly non-existent. Kids will not work at a price that we can afford to pay.
Dónde puedo conseguir esa maquina???
Wer baut sowas ?? Ist echt cool
I was the stacker until we bought one with a thrower. And different wagons
How much does this equipment cost?
Who is the manufacturer?
Homemade
Do you have anymore videos of this
Yes but this is in HD and to 4 hours to load up. It just shows more stacks and bales, if you want to talk to the inventor call him on +44 1608678164. Chas

Which country are you in...
We are in Oxfordshire in the UK
Is that a old machiene or a new one....
Thomas Hayes It was made in 1983 with minor modifications since then, but is basically as originally made. The figures stated on the video went awry it should read 2million bales in 30 years. The most bales stacked in a day is 4200 and the best run was over 3000 bales a day for 11 consecutive days
Is that for sale? I want one.
ok, cameraman, we don't need to see the driver or the fucking baler, what we need to see is the workings of the bale stacker
cormus1 Do you get this angry over a youtube video?
Mack Thompson Do you ask stupid attention seeking questions?
2 million in 20 years thats 100,000 a season! We used to do 20k and thats a big stack
Actually it was 30 years, the most was 80000 in a season, more normally 70000, last year was 50000 as not so much winter barley is grown now which gave us a longer baling season also we seem to finish harvest by the end of August now whereas 20 years ago we would be baling until mid September.
That's pretty impressive, did he make the rake as well
Stephen Gunner yes, it is air operated, the large box section in the middle is the cylinder and the are all lifted by lorry brake servos. Its is for second cut hay where the is less crop.
Wer cool wenn Mann ein Video machen würde wo das erklärt wird wie das gesteuert wird Grüße
That is awsome. I was thinking of something similar. Would I be able to get the inventor's email address. We are in Canada.
Yes its frankhenderson452@btinternet.com. and his father wrote the famous book "The Farming Ladder" in the 1930's and was a personal friend of "the" Harry Fergusson
That what I’m talking about

Kinda boring to be honest
You have only watched it for five minutes, imagine how the novelty has worn off for me after driving it for 38 years! Frank
I understand. We've been round baling for years. At the moment I can keep just over 1,200 5x5 round bales completely inside and no I don't have the capability to stack on the end. Wish I did though. Wasn't meaning any disrespect. I just thought I was gonna see something different. My mistake. Sorry
John Deere sucks.
