    We use to stack the bales with Knots down and out so the rain would run off.

    I remember bailing hay and straw as a teenager. Nothing like your operation now. Took a crew of around 6 guys to do the complete operation. Three in the field bailing and three in the barn stacking. You could do with only three if you had enough hay wagons but that just meant those who stacked on the rack ended up stacking the barn too. It was a great way of getting an honest days work out of a city slicker 😂😂😂😂😂. Best shower ever was after a day of bailing hay

    We used a JD336 with a kicker. If we put up 1,000 bales a day it was a good one. All mowed in the barns by hand.

    @mitchellsmith9289 4 роки тому +1

    I wonder if you could put a flow control valve on the return side of the dump valve to make it come down slower to give the bales a bit more time to slide off. If not, it still beats the old method, lol.

    Ben-
    Enjoyed the video!
    Question, Towards the end of the video as you were loading hay in the shed, I noticed you have the hay on wooden pallets. Is there a reason for that?
    Also, looks like your hay storage building is fairly tall. Are you able to stack hay all the way to under the roof or can you only go as high as the skid loader reach?
    Thanks and keep up the great job!

    • @iowANFarmer
      @iowANFarmer  4 роки тому

      The pallets keep mice out of them somewhat and let air flow under the bales so they don't take up moisture. I stack the bales as high as the loader lets me.

    I love this season of hay! I just stared my own business in central Iowa as a 12 year old. I am looking for a efficient bale stacker. One like you have or like a new Holland 1012 bale stacker. Looking for answers.

      It went well after sitting in the shed for about 15 years, broke a couple of shear pins and re-timed twice . Did 80 bales as a tune up. Pulled it with my L3901 Kubota HST. Started baling the first time with a IH 45T in 1974.

    Gee,it’s true want they say. “Make hay while the Sun 🌞 shines. Looks like you have a good plan for making good hay. Hope the hay prices stay up for you. Be nice if some crop a farmer grows made some money 💰!!! Thanks.

    I have 5 ez trail hay baskets, like I said low hay production here in western pa. 30% less. Second cut? 30 per acre 👎
    First cut was 95 per acre first cut.
    Sell hay by weight, first cut $5-$6. Second $8-$9. 👍
    Let them go buy all the equipment.
