I have the 3x3 baler that I use every year. Like you it took me a while to figure out. I put up 300 bales last year. Great size bale for sheep and goats.
This was a really cool video! I have seen these mini bailers advertised and was always curious on how well they work. Looks like it did a good job. There is always a learning curve but you got it dialed in really fast. Nice work! Take care Brad and Deb!
@PineyGroveHomestead it does really good on auto. But you do have to adjust the weight sensor setting on the baler. Otherwise they will be too small for your liking. In auto it wraps when the beep goes off. But you can set it to only beep when you get aheavier bigger bale
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate your tutorial. Very helpful and interesting. Blessings to you, your wife, family and neighbor that owns the Bailer. Stay safe and healthy. ☝🙏🙌💪🇺🇸
Ya might want to try lengthening the top 3rd point to raise the front up rather than the chain adjustment which still keeps the nose down. Good little machine.
Thanks for the kind words. I was a little rushed due to the rain and Deb really wanted to be there, but she couldn't even open her eyes due to the hay dust allergies.
Hi Brad, Nice job. I see what you mean about the learning curve. Its a little bit finicky to deal with but you got it done. We call them Tie Wraps or Cable Ties arourd here. Dan 😊
Nice Video. I use the Ibex TX31 twine baler from Tractor Tools Direct with Kubota L3901. I essentially experienced the same lessons learned, having used a JD346 square baler in my youth, A couple suggestions: Adjust your 3pt top link to angle the pick up upward
This is a better video than the factory version 😂😂. Interesting machine. There's also a self-propelled model. I love the wrap too. I found this video through the short of your wife stacking.
Under different conditions, this could be fun! It was just a stressful day getting it raked and baled before the rain. Hay seems to be more about timing than anything!! Thanks for watching.
You did a great job with the little baler but I think you should try to find a bigger baler something like a 5x4 or 4x4 so you wouldn't have to stop that often and it would make it easier to stay on the wind row these are just suggestions of course but something to think about
@@PineyGroveHomestead yes I understand that but those bigger balls are too big to move Tham by hand so you would use or tractor unless you are Soper man
With the loader bucket....stacked 8 and then dumped them in the pole barn. It was sprinkling, then downpouring. The bales would fall off and I would have to pick them up again. Lightning. It was a MESS....but I didn't have time to film it!! Thanks for watching.
I call them zip ties. The first electrical contractor I worked for they called them Tie Wraps. Now I work in the solar industry and they call them cable ties. I use all 3 terms depending on who I’m talking to I guess.
Why min roll instead of the old square bails? I understand the big rolls that are like 20 sq bails. But it looks like you have the same draw backs with the min rolls.
Mini round balers will work on compact tractors. The mini square balers for a 25+ hp tractor cost about $25K. I paid $8K for an Ibex brand twine wrap mini baler. The mini net wrap balers are about $10K...so less than half the cost of a mini square baler for a compact tractor. I debated getting a net wrap, but prefer the twine wrap because I can use hemp twine and just throw the bale over the fence and not worry if the sheep/goats eat the twine - safe to consume and will eventually compost.
@@mycenae2 i didn't mean a min sq bailer I ment the old type of square bailer that we used for years the standard sq bailer. I had no idea that they made a min sq bailer. And the old sq bailer worked with a 1972 mf 135 pulling it 18x14x36 about 50 or so lbs the old 2 string sq bail
@tbjtbj4786 I wish I could pull a standard square baler on the Kubota L series tractor that I have, but it's just not enough tractor weight and horsepower for a standard square baler. For me, I was better off just buying a mower, rake, and baler that would work for the tractor that I have, instead of buying a larger tractor and bigger hay equipment.
Great video. These balers cost a lot more than $5,000 new. More than $10,000 for sure, I believe they're around 11-12k. There are other less expensive brands that are just as good.
Here in New England it is "zip ties", or "tie wraps". Zip tie is more common, but I don't bat an eye if someone says something different. Live and let live!
@@PineyGroveHomestead eh. I guess. If a person has an inkling of mechanical ability, I would recommend an old John deere 336 baler or the like in model sizes. They just work and eat hay. I'm sure you found out. It took forever to finish that 5 acre patch.

Farm equipment is so expensive it’s cheaper for me to buy hay! Your videos are the real deal!
Thanks for watching. Luckily we were able to borrow this equipment but we do see ourselves owning it at some point in the future!
Truth! The guy where I get my large round bales from said "the best hay equipment is a good truck and trailer..."
@@mycenae2 right! cheaper to buy! Fertilizer was more than we could sell bales for!
@@PineyGroveHomestead
I have the 3x3 baler that I use every year. Like you it took me a while to figure out. I put up 300 bales last year. Great size bale for sheep and goats.
Cool machine but a little finnicky!
Love the patriotic bale wrap. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 That baler is so cool! I want one.
Yes sir. We all need one. wink wink
Neat job Brad. I like the red, white, and blue wrapping on each bale. Didn't take you too long to figure it out.
Yes, that was a bonus!! Should go smoother next time! Thanks for watching.
This was a really cool video! I have seen these mini bailers advertised and was always curious on how well they work. Looks like it did a good job. There is always a learning curve but you got it dialed in really fast. Nice work! Take care Brad and Deb!
I've actually never watched a bail machine work. GREAT video Brad!! Awesome to watch!
This is so interesting! It's wonderful to see how this is done. Thanks for taking the time to show.
Thanks for watching. Here's the cutting of the grass: ua-cam.com/video/HDmVxpDuHAM/v-deo.html
I've used one of these for two years. It does great for pinestraw. Never had a opportunity to use it for hay. I always use the auto function
I should have put it in Auto!! Thanks for watching.

Thank you! We're baling again this year! ua-cam.com/video/4Ep_rxt5MWY/v-deo.html
Cool video! Looks like you enjoyed it once you found your groove.
I retire in 5-years and hope to be bailing hay on my homestead then.
It was a slow start. The rain coming didn't help! Thanks for watching.
Ya might want to try lengthening the top 3rd point to raise the front up rather than the chain adjustment which still keeps the nose down. Good little machine.
This was a cool video!!! I really enjoyed it!!!! Thanks for making it. I have never seen a Baylor work before.
Thanks for the kind words. I was a little rushed due to the rain and Deb really wanted to be there, but she couldn't even open her eyes due to the hay dust allergies.
@@PineyGroveHomestead The allergies are no fun
Hi Brad, Nice job. I see what you mean about the learning curve. Its a little bit finicky to deal with but you got it done.
We call them Tie Wraps or Cable Ties arourd here. Dan 😊
I probably made it harder than I needed to....it wasn't my machine and I knew the rain was coming. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for showing us your learning curve, very informative
I think baling hay = mistakes!
good job with a tiny bailer
That was a day! Thanks for watching!
I call them zipties, but I've also heard them call zap straps, which I find pretty amusing. 😂 Great video, you got some nice shots of the process.
It's a trigger for some viewers! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. We don't plan on needing too much hay for our animals, and we're getting older, so smaller bales are easier to handle!
Go get you a small square baler.
@@dwighttipps414 even a used beat up is $5K
@@PineyGroveHomestead yes I understand that but those bigger balls are too big to move Tham by hand so you would use or tractor unless you are Soper man
I grew up on manual transmissions with a 2 stage clutch, but I like hydrostatic transmissions for certain things.
Manual better for ground engagement but I'll give up some power for the ease of hydro!
Hi, how do you load the netting?
It loads from the top and you let it dangle down into the rollers. It catches on the wrap
What if the is un even road. Does the machines doest need to lift? Thanjs
It rides on wheels and follows the terrain.
😊 Cable ties
Look forward, center on row, side to side of row to even out your bales.
It was our first time....we'll get better!
Great video, very informative!
How did you pick up the bales?
With the loader bucket....stacked 8 and then dumped them in the pole barn. It was sprinkling, then downpouring. The bales would fall off and I would have to pick them up again. Lightning. It was a MESS....but I didn't have time to film it!! Thanks for watching.
The PTO should work when not on seat just warning buzzer
That's not true. You have to put most tractors in neutral and set the parking brake.
Do you know how your friend got that baler
Where you buy
How much do the bales weigh?
It's in the video...check out when I make the first bale.
I call them zip ties. The first electrical contractor I worked for they called them Tie Wraps. Now I work in the solar industry and they call them cable ties. I use all 3 terms depending on who I’m talking to I guess.

Making hay is EXPENSIVE in equipment!

It's got it's place! It's not for large acreage.
@@PineyGroveHomestead eh. I guess. If a person has an inkling of mechanical ability, I would recommend an old John deere 336 baler or the like in model sizes. They just work and eat hay.

Im from texas
Tractor Tools Direct has all the haying equipment you need! tractortoolsdirect.com/
why not just use square baler with small bales it is much easier to handle?
we don't have square bale equipment. and they are heavier. This was an experiment.
If it requires that much user knowledge it’s not ready for production- Back to the drawing board for the inventor
5:40 Get another person to help :(
Had to take the day off to do all this by myself.
Dont know if this is the newer verson of the kubo but if u lift seat up you can get off the chair and still run the pto
Good point....I didn't think about that at the time. Was racing the rain! Thanks for watching.
you cleared 20 acres of forest? 20 acres of the 1% of US forests that still exist?
No
Cable ties
I can never remember on camera! Thanks for watching.
Glad you did this video, I won't be buying one.
