    You guyz are far ahead of us Green Mountain Boys. Gonna mow this morning, as we have a 3 day weather window. Waist high grass that was leveled by a nasty thunder thumper, 2 weeks ago. Can't imagine starting the day with a rear window replacement. Always enjoy your musings.

    After watching your series of hay videos we are going to be buying an accumulator for our farm. Too hard to find help to ride on the racks but easy to find people to drive tractors and skid loaders. Looking forward to seeing the new twine grapple in action as we might add that later this year too.

    • @DLHFarms

    • @Dad_duramaxben4
      @Dad_duramaxben4 3 роки тому

      I feel like we get a big jump on the curve after how well you explained things. And also why we decided on new with updates instead of sourcing a used table.

    Hi looking good. The preservative you put on does it work well? I've never used it right now I'm not bale any hay but would like do some. I used to and when we had a heavy bale or damp hay we would set it aside. Never had moisture meters etc. was done all by hand. Great that your working together.

    Would you ever consider making a video on adjusting your BC5060 bale length and tension? I have your same set up but am having tons of trouble getting at 34-36" bale and having it work in the accumulator. Love your content!

    • @DLHFarms
      @DLHFarms  2 роки тому +1

      Your not going to get a NH to bale perfectly consistent bales but some things that help is to try to make consistent windrows and while baling if you have a thin spot speed up and slow down in the think spots so you get about 12 to 14 strokes between ties. I run my tension at about 2 on the pressure gage and shoot for a 36 inch average bale length but your going to vary a couple inches either way depending on how your feeding the chamber.
