Inpatients of youth,been there done that. Was trying to fix a bent stabilizer bar, got made and had a Tim moment started cussing and throwing tools.my dad came out told me to knock off for the day that dinner was ready,to get after it in the morning when I had calmed down and rested. Got up early the next day, walked out to garage, my dad was was headed in to house, said he fixed the stabilizer.thank you dad. Sure miss not having him around.
There is also ''Impatience of the Farmer''...My friend farmer was baling hay one afternoon and there was a thunderstorm coming in on the horizon...So he got baling in high gear! A knotter like yours broke while he was baling the last row of hay...Result:about 30 loose bales in the wagon! What i did was unload the good bales in the barn and give the loose hay to the cows in the pasture!
I never get tired of hearing that old 720 startup I was just using my 730 yesterday doing some square baling for a neighbor who has horses ,just something magic about the sound that old beast makes
Tim, I done the same thing but with a John Deere 346 square baler, wire tie. I was 19 at the time and we were baling Bermuda grass hay. Baler missed a bale, then another and another until I finally sheared the bolt in the twister shaft. Twister was catching the wire due to wear of course but me being a young man and in a hurry, I thought it would fix itself. Needless to say, my Dad was pissed and I learned an important life lesson. I'm 42 now, still learning but it's a bit easier now. Keep at it buddy. If your not making mistakes it cause your not doing anything.
It would be nice to see the old girl out in the field making some bales. It is nice to see you and your son having a bit of fun too! Hay isn't turning out great up north here, too much rain and not enough heat...hard to make hay in a mud puddle! Hope the weather straightens out soon, a lot of hay down and more rain forecast for today. :(
yea I see your farms like mine my boys do that stuff to and then dad comes to the rescue but that's what dads do I wouldn't have any other way though .Suer is nice to be able to have three generations working together .We only have 2 generations now since my dad has gone on now and we sure miss him but moving on like he would want us to do .I really enjoy your videos lot of good stuff there be safe get your hay made I think rains coming our way the weekend .thanks for the videos . ROLL ON FARMINGS GREAT
When I was young, I did that once... just once. Lesson learned the hard way. Took a few hrs to fix though and back to bailing. I've always enjoyed the ol' two lungers working, need to get mine back up an running again. Cheers :)
Thanks for the tip on different bill hooks for twine types. Also, noticed the Lock n Lube on your grease gun. One of my Wife's best Christmas presents Love mine!!
Dang, I would have loved to see a slowed down step-by-step explanation on that arm replacement. I had the local JD guys replace one for me last winter, to the tune of over $850, and they made one free field adjustment earlier this year, but now that knotter is giving me issues that I'm trying to fix myself because I cannot afford to have them work on it any more. It's downright aggravating when it misses 1 out of every 7-10 knots.
Wes, you have the patients of Job. Good to see a family farm work like yours does. Everyone doing their part and nobody shooting each other. Lol. I did quite a bit of square baling with an old Ford 562. I detested that thing. I would get sick to my stomach when I knew I had to run that cantankerous contraption. It didn't like to tie and was notorious for breaking needles.
I used to have an old (1954) Massey Harris baler with a TVO engine on it. That was an absolute bastard with the knotters, if the tenssion was not right or the knives were not sharp enough the knots came undone or were not tied.
Reggy_ S it because with the john deere dealers around the whole US when it comes to john deere parts work together and send parts that are needed to other dealers near by that why the local dealer probably had just sent there's off and have gotten a new one for the self yet.
Thanks for the explanation Sam... I suppose it must be efficient for John Deere but it sounds disastrous for a busy farmer or contractor fighting the weather. Thinking about it though they probably want farmers to buy in advance and stock their own spares instead of the dealer having to do it.
Do you make Tim wear hearing protection when using the older tractors without cabs especially since you are loosing your hearing-just hope all the young ones learn from all us old deaf farmers.
Otto Seeger n the topic of hearing protection, I have found custom fit ear plugs to be the best.. I wear all day at work a pair of DB blockers , they are like $120 a pair. After having them I can't stand the disposable ones anymore.
Gierok farms was having trouble with the knotter on thier baler and asked viewers for advice, i mentioned you because you seem to know your shit when it comes to these things. nice vids
I envy your bail thrower, all the hay I did as a kid was had stacked on wagons, or when we ran out of empty wagons we balled it on the ground to pick up latter. Just realized I'm still kinda bitter about those days:)
Hey, I just got that baler! Just without the hydraulics and wire tie. And hay conveyer. Haven't run it, yet. Good to know a 720 can push it. I was worried when I saw a website that claimed it needed 67HP, and my Case 1390 is only 60HP PTO. I was skeptical that a small square baler would need that much. I like that grease gun!
Boy that little pony engine is a real screamer! Square balers can be a real pain sometimes even when you understand the mechanism and how to troubleshoot them.Never could get use to that darn lunging of the baler. Like riding a bucking horse.Can you give us a shot of it running?
Yep, things never end well with knotters if you don't get off and see what's going one. Finding a good baler mechanic is tricky in my area when you need one. Most guys are just grain farmer anymore so most shop don't have a guy that specializes in balers.
ih1206 that's a shame. TBH they aren't super complicated machines, you do need a service manual for them them if you're working on one. Yeah there are a lot of moving pieces but ultimately it's all about setting gaps, timing, and tension. You get those three items right it's gonna tie knots all day long and not give you a lick of problems.
jayss10 Yeah is a shame, but most shops just don't deal in hay equipment anymore. Fortunately, we are usually pretty good about getting things set as the book says. That usually solves 99% of the problems. The trick is with that 1%.
I Agree. .You have one bale not tie STOP ! ! see whats wrong ! Got a 570 NH in 1997 (I think) 14000 a year 2nd crop hay+1000 straw every since . start again in 2 weeks.NEED TO BEEF UP wagon hitch under thrower if u have hills! ! ! IT BROKE OFF in 98 my 9x16 thrower box (NEW) ended up in the pond ! ! !
best you tuber ever good work wes, tim makes me laugh hes a good worker, the videos are better when tims in the video. how did your other half get on chucking grass out
Hey Wes, I know you sell your hay to mushroom farmers but I'm just curious, what do they do with the hay afterwards. Do they make mulch or something? I know you gave us a tour sort of showing how they grow their mushrooms, but I don't remember you saying what they do with the spent hay. Just curious. Good video, shows how sometimes you can be working and just kind of forget what you are doing and mess up. Everybody does it some time or other, no big deal, but sometimes it can be quite expensive. Keep up the good work and I'll keep watchin'.
What is your brand preference for square baler twine Wes? We have used Titan in the past but started to have some trouble with consistency. Same with Orangeline from TSC. The name brand new holland stuff is decent but cashy!
field wax I love it but don't go to hard on tim he seems to be a good kid in training I think he will work out as long as he can keep his mind off the snatchsquatches just kidding tim is a good kid keep up the great videos be safe thanks.
Completely random question.....how tall is Tim? I read in comment a while back that he was 6'4" but he doesn't seem that tall. Ya the exuberance of youth, glad you were able to fix it.
love the 720d. if i had a problem with the 520 i could ask gramps about it and he could shed some light for me. it used to be his ol girl then dad bought it. now the ol girls mine and im the only one still alive that has owned the 520. rip dad and gramps. oh and co2 kills that how the 520 killed my dad
onelonleyfarmer it sucked i was in west virginia driving truck. my family came out and got me since im from michigan and i left the truck for a week and a half. it sucks getting a call like that. when i just spoke to him within a week prior and everything was fine
Must be having an early day today Wes. Cheers mate. If you get a spare 10 min some time check out sugar cane harvesting in Austalia by Luckie22 older vids but you get the idea
How lax are your safety laws that still allow tractors to be used on farms without safety roll over frames? The Brit pound is down a bit at the moment, you might find Tim a classic John Deere 6400 (or 6330 etc) to use with the NH baler.
asbornbros Yeah I know i was just wondering why he chose new holland for small squares, i like Deeres feed auger design it seems to feed more evenly to me
that's not why he has 1 new holland he use to be all new holland for hay related stuff until the no rower and new holland big square gave him a bad taste in his mouth bought small square long before his bad taste for new holland!
For a number of years New Holland WAS the go to for hay equipment end of story. Not sure how their newer small bale equipment is but their older stuff was and unless abused is still rock solid. My dad still runs the New Holland 275 that we used to put 20,000 a year through for the dairy when I was a kid. Still does all his mowing with a 488 haybine too.
Wes I need your help! I was baling with my old NH 68, it rained I was impatient and jammed up the bale chamber. after digging it out I had to pull the string out of the knotter and thought I knew how to put it back but I'm missing 2 bales to everyone that ties, I mean WTF? very frustrated and rain on the way I just rolled it up to get it out of the field. can you post a video on how to run the string in the knotters please? I need to get the old girl baling again. thanks!
Ben Bryan it nothing big just thread the needles and tie the string to the frame some lace and cycle the knotter. Done !! Just remember to put the string through the guides oner the needle
the joys of how things appear. More than likely all Wes had to deal with was the hiss of the liquid as it was sprayed past his ear. Good joke on us Wes. Fun humor
This is what a healthy father/son relationship looks like.
Inpatients of youth,been there done that.

I guess I’m lucky. My son is smarter than myself, so I get him to fix stuff.?
Liked
Thumbs up for you and Tim goofing around at 8:15
Awesome video on awesome baler NH !!
Tim has broke it, he sprayed in your eye Wes, Teresa bying a part, very nice again Wes bailer working very good 😲😲😲😲😲😲😛😜😂😜😛😜😂😜😛😜😂😜😛😜😂😜😛😜😂😜😛😜😂😜😛

It's nice to see the old machinery gooing so well Wes and Tim
3 top inventions to man kind...
#3. Space shuttle
#2 square bale knotter
#1 thermos. How does it know to keep things hot or cold?
yea I see your farms like mine my boys do that stuff to and then dad comes to the rescue but that's what dads do I wouldn't have any other way though .Suer is nice to be able to have three generations working together .We only have 2 generations now since my dad has gone on now and we sure miss him but moving on like he would want us to do .I really enjoy your videos lot of good stuff there be safe get your hay made I think rains coming our way the weekend .thanks for the videos . ROLL ON FARMINGS GREAT
Love it when you and Tim work together.
Great weather for bailing hay should be some good stuff
When I was young, I did that once... just once. Lesson learned the hard way. Took a few hrs to fix though and back to bailing. I've always enjoyed the ol' two lungers working, need to get mine back up an running again. Cheers :)

So THAT was my problem on the farm growing up. I never got to the point where driving our 720 made me excited. Good on ya, Tim!
I used to have an old (1954) Massey Harris baler with a TVO engine on it. That was an absolute bastard with the knotters, if the tenssion was not right or the knives were not sharp enough the knots came undone or were not tied.
Hahaha, Nice to see a new generation young farmer wanting to use old school tractors, way to go Tim.
Impatience of youth merit badge. I used the side of the shop door to retract the unloading auger on a JD Turbo 7700.
we all take our eye off the job sometimes damage is not too bad i hope thanks for the video
your a great farmer mate,love ya videos
Wow it is ridiculous that no dealer closer than 2 hrs away stocks a belt that common coming into the height of the summer season :-(
Reggy_ S it because with the john deere dealers around the whole US when it comes to john deere parts work together and send parts that are needed to other dealers near by that why the local dealer probably had just sent there's off and have gotten a new one for the self yet.
Thanks for the explanation Sam... I suppose it must be efficient for John Deere but it sounds disastrous for a busy farmer or contractor fighting the weather. Thinking about it though they probably want farmers to buy in advance and stock their own spares instead of the dealer having to do it.
Reggy_ S not a problem I don't like when questions go un aswered
Do you make Tim wear hearing protection when using the older tractors without cabs especially since you are loosing your hearing-just hope all the young ones learn from all us old deaf farmers.
Otto Seeger What??
Really!!!
Im Sure Tim is wearing headphones, and probably blasting the volume all the way up.
Otto Seeger I think I have seen Tim using ear protection on the older machines
Otto Seeger n the topic of hearing protection, I have found custom fit ear plugs to be the best.. I wear all day at work a pair of DB blockers , they are like $120 a pair. After having them I can't stand the disposable ones anymore.
I agree and I'm an 11y old farm son and I square ball for dad
Gierok farms was having trouble with the knotter on thier baler and asked viewers for advice, i mentioned you because you seem to know your shit when it comes to these things. nice vids
I envy your bail thrower, all the hay I did as a kid was had stacked on wagons, or when we ran out of empty wagons we balled it on the ground to pick up latter. Just realized I'm still kinda bitter about those days:)
Never seen anyone jump over a baler that quick! Hats off to you olf!!
Hey, I just got that baler! Just without the hydraulics and wire tie. And hay conveyer. Haven't run it, yet. Good to know a 720 can push it. I was worried when I saw a website that claimed it needed 67HP, and my Case 1390 is only 60HP PTO. I was skeptical that a small square baler would need that much. I like that grease gun!
"the impetuosity of youth"is the correct saying
The 720, love it!
nice video.
Boy that little pony engine is a real screamer! Square balers can be a real pain sometimes even when you understand the mechanism and how to troubleshoot them.Never could get use to that darn lunging of the baler. Like riding a bucking horse.Can you give us a shot of it running?
great video if ever have time would like to see bale thrower work on baler we always on rack staking never seen those work thanks
Tim ain't the only one I'll admit I screwed up today now I'll have too fix my mine tomorrow.
Yep, things never end well with knotters if you don't get off and see what's going one. Finding a good baler mechanic is tricky in my area when you need one. Most guys are just grain farmer anymore so most shop don't have a guy that specializes in balers.

That's when you start looking for something that got bent by somebody young and impatient
Great video Wes
8:10 😂😂😂 Savage
Can you show us the john deere 4320 running the NH 570 baler?
I did the same thing few days ago, on New Holand 366
Ryan Stuckey was this what u was talking about , lmao should bring back a few memories
I Agree. .You have one bale not tie STOP ! ! see whats wrong ! Got a 570 NH in 1997 (I think) 14000 a year 2nd crop hay+1000 straw every since . start again in 2 weeks.NEED TO BEEF UP wagon hitch under thrower if u have hills! ! ! IT BROKE OFF in 98 my 9x16 thrower box (NEW) ended up in the pond ! ! !
Pam Moritz what the fuck are you trying to do,caps lock us to death?
looks like good advice after 285000 bales . . HOW many small bales have u made tractorMAN
I had to make a 3 hour drive for the drive belt on the pickup head of my 410 baler today that sucked
best you tuber ever good work wes, tim makes me laugh hes a good worker, the videos are better when tims in the video. how did your other half get on chucking grass out
the 720 sounds awesome Wes.
THAT zerc fitting don't look wet GREASE that damn thing... Spoke to soon..
Hey Wes, I know you sell your hay to mushroom farmers but I'm just curious, what do they do with the hay afterwards. Do they make mulch or something?

Keep up the good work and I'll keep watchin'.
what the heck happened after Tim sprayed in the eye and you jumped over the bailer
probably gained a few lumps on the back of head :))
hey wes their is someone on craigslist selling 90 bundles of baling twine for 85 dollars is that a good deal he says it is cordex 9000 green
have old 315.went newholland got new bill hooks for plastic. serv guy said same as 570
Do you alternate colors on big bales to identify ownership? Hope the hail in MN and Wi missed you.
720 needs a JD umbrella !
the sun will burn Tim to a crisp.
What is your brand preference for square baler twine Wes? We have used Titan in the past but started to have some trouble with consistency. Same with Orangeline from TSC. The name brand new holland stuff is decent but cashy!

Impatience. HTH
i can't spell to good i guess.

Damn she sounds mighty fine!!!
wes you are vary smart put tim good kid be safe mike
Hi OLF .. do you bale Mulch for landscaping or hay for cattle? Please .. Sorry I miss a lot .. enjoy the videos! GDT
How about some footage of the 720 running the baler.
Must be having an early day today Wes. Cheers mate. If you get a spare 10 min some time check out sugar cane harvesting in Austalia by Luckie22 older vids but you get the idea
wes, after the live or die video about using small tractors to do anything on the farm I'm surprised you let tim bale with the little jd.
wisconsin hunter Whitetail flat ground
Wes do you have groundhogs in your fields I haven't noticed any holes when you mow or bale? we have them every where here in PA
How lax are your safety laws that still allow tractors to be used on farms without safety roll over frames?
The Brit pound is down a bit at the moment, you might find Tim a classic John Deere 6400 (or 6330 etc) to use with the NH baler.
8:00 LMAO!
rofl bet that was cold as hell when tim sprayed u
And the youth only getting worse with all this technology we have. So glad I grew up before computers and cell phones where normal.
it sounds like it leaks a bit of exhaust gas while running. is there a decompression valve that is opened somwhere?
Well don't be two hard on Tim, my dad was extremely good at breaking things much worse than what happened here.
Hi from Belgium
Can you explain how to adjust the knotters, because we always have problems with our NH BB940
alex lan I can yes
So with all the John Deere equipment you run why a new holland baler?, I run a jd 328 and I love it
asbornbros Yeah I know i was just wondering why he chose new holland for small squares, i like Deeres feed auger design it seems to feed more evenly to me
he used to have everything hay related new holland!
Lee Ellison For every 1 baler John Deere sells New Holland sells 4… that's probably why he has a New Holland
that's not why he has 1 new holland he use to be all new holland for hay related stuff until the no rower and new holland big square gave him a bad taste in his mouth bought small square long before his bad taste for new holland!
For a number of years New Holland WAS the go to for hay equipment end of story. Not sure how their newer small bale equipment is but their older stuff was and unless abused is still rock solid.

Hi wes sorry mate but it nice to see that i am not the only one that shit break on . it was a PTO week for me take care mate hi tim
Meanwhile our baler is fixed and runnin perfect, jus sayin make compression 32, idk what else was done but hey. We got same baler.
can't beat the old 2 cylinder engines
morning Wes
Wes I need your help! I was baling with my old NH 68, it rained I was impatient and jammed up the bale chamber. after digging it out I had to pull the string out of the knotter and thought I knew how to put it back but I'm missing 2 bales to everyone that ties, I mean WTF? very frustrated and rain on the way I just rolled it up to get it out of the field. can you post a video on how to run the string in the knotters please?

Ben Bryan it nothing big just thread the needles and tie the string to the frame some lace and cycle the knotter. Done !! Just remember to put the string through the guides oner the needle
how long would it take to do the same job on the krone if you had to do it..... just curious wes....
Kevin Willis what a stupid question. Fucking hell do you just come on here to look dumb?
What are you going to do with the TR70 combind
You have one hell of a woman there, does she have any sisters or is she one of a kind....??
diesel engine sounds a little rough at 6:22 into the video.
8:15 you told him too, then at 8:22 looks like your chase him down because he did what you said,
Oh hail and hearty
Can we see some shots of the 720 baling?
Can you do some tedding with the 4020
Did you ever get those haycaps
Are you making the small squares for the person who stopped and asked
Robert Charlo no
ㅎㅎㅎㅎ 아프겠내..
hey wes
Impatients is a type of flower.... impatience is what Tim had. lol
well he is my flower... hahahaha
ikr?
blame it on Tim, oh wait :))
8:16 WTF? DId he really sprayed into his eye or slightly beside his head?
the joys of how things appear. More than likely all Wes had to deal with was the hiss of the liquid as it was sprayed past his ear. Good joke on us Wes. Fun humor
4hrs for a belt. can we say Napa store. better belt at that also.
your thrower belts are off to one side.
Excuse me 4320

To be an old man you sure jumped up on that baler and across pretty nimbly!
Does that work? Pretty nimbly, hmmm
