    How come you didn’t flip the second bale into the same location before removing the net as you did the first?

      Good question. The second bale was a little misaligned. When I lifted it to cut it over the table it was against the back brace and couldn’t go forward onto the table. So I put it back, hoping the bale was tight enough to hold on until i could flip it up. It wasn’t. Also I couldn’t set it down and realign it cause I was surrounded by cows. Thanks :)

    • @guernseygoodness

      I know how it is having a bale within reach of cows without the net removed, they eat the net while trying to get to the hay.

    Sometimes I don't know how you guys do it (Mike and Erin). 172,000+ subscribers and many of them know exactly how things "should" be done. No one bothers to read comments. Unfortunately I see this everywhere. It's so easy to have all the answers or be so rude from behind the screen. People just don't give a crap anymore about what they say.
    I like to tell people, "sorry, my perfect button is broken". "let me know when you get yours fixed"

    Just happened across your channel today as I was researching Hustler Chainless feeders. I watched the video where the salesman showed up with it and did a demonstration followed by watching this one.
    Bit of background on me. I’m in Western Saskatchewan. Young farmer doing it all on my own pretty much as my dad passed away a few years ago, my wife works off farm, and my kids are still a bit young to be helping much yet. I’m mostly grain (just under 2000 acres of wheat, canola, barley, flax, oats, chemfallow/summerfallow). We got rid of our cattle herd after the devastating droughts of 2001-03 we had up here and went straight to grain farming only. I worked off farm and took days off during seeding and harvest and did whatever else I could on regular days off. It was hard but doable as I always only very busy in May/June and September/October.
    Anyway, three years ago, I crunched some numbers and decided that I was living fairly comfortable without off-farm income and decided to solely farm. However, with my smaller number of acres compared to some farms around here I found that I got a bit bored at times. I also have some marginal land (three quarters) that are full of sloughs, rocks, and just poorer soil, crop-able but not great compared to the stuff closer to home. So, I seeded the best of the three quarters to alfalfa/brome for hay, and the two other quarters to grass for pasture. I redid the perimeter fencing and the corrals at home, bought a used haybine, baler, and loader tractor, and a retiring neighbours herd of 40 horned Herefords.
    Long story short, I’ve been using stationary bale feeders and find there is a lot of waste. I don’t have a flail type bale processor because I think I would have just as much waste. So, I’ve stumbled across the Hustler Chainless. Most of my neighbours are like me (mostly grain farming, some also have cattle but usually not more than 100 pairs) so I’ve never seen one around here. It makes me wonder if they’re more geared to the larger farmer/rancher and I haven’t priced one out yet. But, with the size I am (and I do want to expand both my grain operation and cattle herd) savings with a machine like this could be HUGE for me. After watching your videos I think I might be doing some phoning around in the next couple of days for pricing. If it’s too high of a price for me to swallow, I might ask a close neighbour if they would be interested in doing shares on one. Only thing is that feeding times might become conflicted and I don’t want to have hard feelings with any neighbours as most are family friends for years. Ah well, if I can swing it, I’m going to get one.
    Your videos are very awesome and I’m one of your newest subscribers now. I want to thank you for the informative videos from one cattleman to another.

    Yep! It's when you cut the net off! Cutting the net off when the bail is over the bed to catch what falls works much better. Don't blame the bail. It's that old learning curve.

    • @OurWyomingLife
      @OurWyomingLife  4 роки тому +8

      I agree however if the bale was tighter it would have held together. Normally it would have been cut above the table as I cut the first one, but the last bale was off a bit from lined up and I had to cut it as I did. I couldnt drop the bale and pick it up again with all the cows around. its all part of the learning curve.

    Hi Mike:
    New Mexico rancher here( formerly from Dubois, WY)
    Been following for some time and I can feel your pain with the drouth. As a yearling operation, we don't winter feed. just range cubes in fall before shipping but a little more this year.
    When we had our ranch in Wyoming, all we needed to pen cows was a hay wagon and two men on horseback. My maternal grandfather had Catahoula dogs on his ranch in SE Texas.
    All the best and Merry Christmas

    I had a double merle catahoula, he was such a good boy. Predominantly white and had a few leopard patches on him. Very protective dog. Sadly, his previous owner used to abuse him regularly and dumped him in a shelter when he couldn’t hunt anymore because of his hip problems. I had him for 1 year and 15 days before kidney cancer took him from me. He didn’t trust men he didn’t know and would usually bite people he didn’t know. It was stressful but I couldn’t give up on him. I miss that dog every day. I plan on getting a lab next for waterfowl hunting, but I will be getting another catahoula for hog hunts.
    I’m happy to see a rancher with a catahoula as their breed needs to be worked constantly. Too many people get them without researching them and then they end up in shelters. She will serve you well, they love pleasing their masters.

    I have not used as Hustler but with most other bale feeders when you have a bale that has fallen apart in the bed all you have to do is lift the bed up just enough so the back folks don't move and then just tease the bale out. I don't know if you can do this with a John Deere but if you can slow the hydraulic oil flow rate down on the spool that you feed out on I find that you have more control on how much feed goes over the side.

    Good looking puppy! Don’t let all these hay/cattle experts get to you! I’m sure you have rolled out more bales than these people have seen!

    Mike, it sort of was your fault. Bale #1 you cut the wrap when it was over the table. #2 was out behind on the bale spears, you took the wrap off back there, and then the bale fell apart when you flipped it onto the table. It may have been a looser bale, but what you did sure didn’t help.

      I agree however if the bale was tighter it would have held together. Normally it would have been cut above the table as I cut the first one, but the last bale was off a bit from lined up and I had to cut it as I did. I couldnt drop the bale and pick it up again with all the cows around. its all part of the learning curve. I guess I'm allowed to make a mistake.

    It all worked out. It will be better next time.

    Our BALE PROCESSOR cradles the bale no matter if no rap or sting on it. Then all of the feed goes in the tub. Team up with Renn Jiffy made in Alberta u will like that unit and your cows will love it.

    interesting, seems like most of the ranchers here in my little part of MT just have Hydra-beds on their pick-up trucks for putting out round bales..

    Question I have is.... can you lower your spears in the back lower ? Seems they are over two foot off of the ground when stabbing the bale ? And noticed you placed two bales together ? Is it a problem stabbing them......that you end up just pushing them instead ? Consider removing two tines which will cause less friction and make it easier to stab the bales....and or..... adding two longer spears so they enter the bale deeper so the bale dont tip over backward when stabbing them ?? Seem like a nice machine.......but something tells me there also something wrong relating to loading the bales ?

    Would the square bale attachment clamp down to hold a soft bale together to unroll?
    The calves look great!

    What type of pup did you say cocoa bean is. She is a cutie. Looking forward to seeing her training. Or your training.

    Mike I think if the roll if you know what way it will unroll you can put it where it will unroll counter the way in what it is turning. I hope that makes sense plus you did not cut the rap on the first roll until you had already flipped it over the table and the table caught all of it of it. I am sorry if you dont under stand this back woods country boy. good luck

    I saw another youTuber with this same unroller he was a little bigger (ranch wise) than you and took 4 bales at a time and his worked as well as yours does

    😄 I love how you set Coco down because she didn't seem to want to handled and like the typical 'child' she whined to be picked up! 😁 I like the way the new machine works, I can easily see the merits of it. Even makes me wonder if the cows sometimes think, "Where does Mike get all those wonderful toys?" Thanks for sharing Mike and Merry Christmas to you and Erin and your family.

    This going to sound crazy. But have u ever though of digging a hole in ur land and when it snows plow it to that area and compress it then when it melts use it to irrigate the land? Maybe even multiple holes strategically. Idk if that is even allowed in your area

      No moisture in western dry land snow, and that would rob the land of what little moisture the snow provides.
