We are Round Baling the rest of our Hay. Hopefully the Baler is fixed and cuts the twine.

- I believe I fixed the Twine knife on the Gehl 1475 round baler. It's time to test it out.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.
Save yourself a trip next time you use the round baler. Don't dump the final bale in the field. Leave the last bale in the Gehl, skewer one additional bale on the forks, and then drive both bales to your hay barn. Then deposit both bales. That'll save you one trip in the future. Love your channel!!
We pretty much always do this, and the partial bails almost always go directly to the sheep feeder.
Evan I love watching your videos. Especially how you seem to be able to fix almost everything yourself.
Given all the effort you guys has been put in I think you achieved a huge amount towards a beautiful farm. I at the ripe age of 60 started an Urban Farm here in South Africa and allowed myself 5 seasons to get it in shape. The tiller broke, irrigation broke, fire destroyed one water tank, storm water destroyed half the garden, but all is God's way to teach me, research and fixing. He sent a real farmer to move in with his son across the road and his advice has been invaluable. I even rented a tiller and now are all cylinders firing. Just look back and as the scrptures says eventually in Psalm 128:2 (ESV): "You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you." Love 😇🤗🙏🇿🇦
Lesson learned to always use a hitch pin clip, and nice recovery with repairs and to keep moving forward to get the hay off the ground, when you're not at work. Thank you for sharing your struggles and accomplishments Evan and Rebecca, you've come a long way since purchasing your property. Nice drone shots. Stay safe y'all!
Evan : You are definitely the hardest working guy with a YT channel !
John Rodgers, I respect your comment, but there are many more than him on YT.
If you are digging around your pond or spreading dirt and planting grass seed, this would be good to spread over the fresh planted seeds for protection from wash out and birds.
Good to see the dogs helping you so much. They are a treat.
Hi..... Evan, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Make a big pumpkins out of the spoiled hay bales! Orange and green paint!
Evan I enjoy the video .
At least you got some bedding out of it Evan or even to put down in muddy places to keep from getting deep holes drilled into the muddy ground. Bless you, you have a patience of a saint. have a Blessed day.
Good idea
Something to remember, temporary is one of the most permanent fixtures we do. Lol. Enjoying your videos.
Your torque limiter is not designed to protect the drive shaft. It is in the wrong place to do that. It is there to protect your gearbox.
Exactly I concur
I don't think the joint broke from over torque necessarily, it was basically forced 90 deg in the crash which is certainly not within the design parameters.
Regardless, the yolks can be found online, the shaft might be able to be straightened, or if nothing else shaft stock can also be sourced. They either weld, press, or pin on and remember, it runs at 540 RPM not 6k. It's farm equipment not a racecar.
Evan your drive and refusal to give up is admirable. Hopefully you can figure out the random thing that was causing the issue with the round baler so next year baling goes smooth. That square baler seems to always fight you.
Evan, the clutch is not designed to withstand the draw pin coming loose. Neither is the PTO shaft designed to replace the drawbar. What the clutch is designed to handle is a stump or large rock. If it hits something like these, the clutch will function as designed and stop the rotation; thus prevent further damage,
Hopefully this will clear up what the clutch is designed to handle. I can tell you a similar story: Quick release hydraulic hoses don't really release that well when the draw pin comes out (just like yours) Thoses hoses don't release; period. Live and Learn and smile always.
Hey guy's, I know you have a beautifully pond on your property but sadly the pond needs some help and I watch the Stoney Ridge Farmer and he did a video on the 5 ponds on his farm and a gorgeous pond on his neighbors property. He gives a lot of good advise to solutions to fixing the ponds on his property that he has used to keep his ponds at there best. CHeck it out and I hope and pray that he can help your pond to get back to as beautifully as it once was. Good luck guy's.
Even with all the problems, I enjoyed seeing the square and round bales of hay come out of the machines. Like magic.😊
Regardless of what you call what you baled of the field, it will sure beat a snow ball this winter….
Hi Evan! I just wanted to let you know, back in the mid 70's we were doing some custom hay baling for a guy. He had a field of red clover that had about 1 to 2 inches of rain on it after we cut it. This was very thick clover and was going to be difficult to dry out. Long story short, we had to wait two weeks to square bale it and it molded on the guy. Just wanted you to know that your not alone in those types of mishaps. Keep up the great videos, thanks for sharing and have a great week.
cows and steers will love that hay, rained on hay gets like a Carmel, it is like candy to them, they will stuff them self with it,, i have bought hundreds of bails at a cheap price, i can put a nice fresh green baiil in for them and one that been rained on and looks bad, but they will eat the bad looking one before the good looking bail, many years doing it
With this hay that got rained on you can use it as bedding this winter, the feed quality will be next to nothing but at least you can keep your pens dry and somewhat clean
Love the old 730 Case. Please give her some love this winter
Hi my name is phillip winders from morganfield Kentucky be watching your channel and video seen you brought the 42 acres farm from start until today it is August 23 2022 you have you and your wife done great job on this farm oh how is your 2 feed wagons holding up great ideas on them oh have you ever thought of growing some corn for your beef oh I said about 2 acres that would make better beef corn feed beef it is at thought love you'll farm guys
Love from New Zealand
I agree it was a good idea to get the hay picked up as it will cause new hay not to grow. I saw the idea about using for bedding over new grass seeds
Let's hope the bales don't get rained on again
as the site will not allow me to edit, another use maybe used as ground cover for a project?
Glad you got it done! Will it be useful for bedding perhaps? (I am not a farmer)
Nice looking rig.. Just a few bugs but that will pass , Thx Evan
had an old man tell me one time, any hay is better than a snow bank lol
Great video ✌️
If you have any deep ditch erosion problems, roll those junk round bales into those ditches. It's amazing how quickly those ditches will silt in.
But those tiny bails are so cute
Even with the issues the baler has, it makes great bales, as a former farmer myself, I can also say that you are doing good, it will work as straw and surely even the animals can pick something out from them, they are good at that :)
Good bedding!
good hay to make mulch on the garden
Nice video
Perservence pays off.
Thanks for the drone footage and the music! I know "haying" must be a real frustration for you, Mr. Evan.
Pups are too cute.
Great video Evan. Thanks for sharing. Remember that you can always just use the hay as bedding for the animal. Not all is lost. Just keep at it .
It's good you got the hay tied up.
Thanks for sharing your video. I enjoyed watching. Take care and God Bless.
the pto shaft bent because it stayed attached to the tractor and was spinning/whipping wildly until you stopped it in the cab.
Good bedding.
Hay you are working on it it will come to gather mybe next year guys but the first cut was good so I will see you on the next one God bless you guys from steve c from state Oregon
👍👍👍👍👍as you said you got it off that’s the main thing, hopefully you will be able to de-bug the round baler sensors enjoyed the content hopefully someone has had the same issues and will able to help.
Looks like you'll have a lot of fixing to do on both balers in the off season ! Keep up the great videos !
I'm with you both..I'm learning also. Love ❤️ my pup Ema.
Have you considered turning that hay into sileage? Not sure the spelling, but it is basically partially fermented hay.
I don't have the equipment to make silage.
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.
JUNK going into sileage results in JUNK sileage.
The ratchet clutch needs to be on the tractor side in order to protect the full driveline. Turn your PTO shaft around.
Every day it's a getting closer, you'll get it right over the winter. Best of luck with it Evan. Thanks for sharing with us, keep up the good work and get ready for winter. Fred.
Holy cow !! I know this is junk hay. This stuff would be perfect for the goats and cow flooring. It’s a blessing in a wierd way.
Glad you were able to get it off the field. There's a fellow near y who still has bales laying from the first cutting and it's ready to cut again. I didn't understand his methods.
Nice to see that you got your hay done fellow hay maker. I just put up 125 rounds and 150 squares of Irrigated and Fertilized Tifton 85 Bermuda. Man do I hate when you get rained on. Hope you get some benefits from you hay. Keep safe friend.
it will make good bedding for the animals. good job.
Nice job getting the hay picked up. Evan keep at it things will get figured out, great job. Great videos
good job Evan. you are learning and showing us. thank you.
please consider tedding that ruined hay (in the future maybe) and then chop-tilling it into the soil. thanks
Aaron, sometimes we learn more from our struggles as we do when things are easy for us. I definitely know that was a frustrating day when the Tetter broke, but it definitely made for an interesting video watching all the parts go flying.… Now you’re thinking new farmer would say that and you’re right. I’m not a farmer anymore but I used to farm and we would’ve been in big trouble if we would’ve dared to laugh at my father when it happened but we would’ve gotten together later quietly in another room and chuckled about it because it did look funny!❣️
It’s the part that came afterwards that wasn’t funny… The rain; more rain so that you couldn’t get out there and finishing the work with the Tetter, even though you had it fixed, causing a delay in Getting to Bale the Straw/hay as it was Not very good quality.
Nonetheless, I did enjoy watching all the struggles through the process and oh and having an opportunity to learn myself. I think you’re very smart about how to repair things and I like your attitude about how you work around conflict. I think a lot of people can learn from you so thank you for having these videos!!_♥️♥️♥️♥️
Great job looking good keep up the good work thank you love your videos
Red clover dies out in two years and grass should fill in But you need to deal with the Johnston grass
Will Be good enough for bedding Great video’s.
If it's that bad ( moldy) why would you bother to bale it? Leave it to improve your ground.
The bad bails might be good for a straw bail garden.
Too many weed seeds
I don’t know how many bales you have but if the quality is poor, offer them for sale as decorations. I’ve see the fall turkey decorations using round bales and these bales would work well for that if you can find a market for them.
Evan some gardeners use junk hay for Ruth Stout no till gardens.
May be a way to sell some of it.
The Baile seems to do a good job. Why don't you call the place you bought it from and maybe they can give you some tips. GOOD LUCK ‼️‼️🚜 Vinny 🇺🇸
Paint a pumpkin face on that hay and sale it like that 😂
When I carted 6 feet round bales we only had one spike on the loader it would enter the bale better and leave the bale better not two
You could use the bales to cover mud in the winter. It is what I do with spoiled hay. My chickens like to make a big mess in the winter and bales seem to always go bad before I can finish them. Keeps my boots from getting nasty.
Needs a bale kicker if they offer one for that baler.
Looks like its doing a much better job then the square baler. A few minor gremlins to work out.
I run a small JD round baler and I keep the PTO running when opening and closing the gate. Not sure what your manual says but this would help to eject the bales and keep the belts clear of hay when closing.
I have never been able to eject a bale with the belts running. The belt roll the bale forward, back inside the baler.
Nice Job Evan what I would do is have that hay analyzed and then you know what you have just a idea. You might know but clover is a hard product to make good quality hay needs more management. Weather permitting I think you can get another cutting. Enjoyed your video have a great day.
I agree, those round bales are just bedding material. I hope you get your square baler fixed though I have to say I dislike wire balers, I much more prefer twine balers. Who knows where small bits and pieces of wire end up. Often it ends up causing hardware disease in dairy cattle. But you most likely will not have your feeder cows long enough for that to be a problem. Still.... I dislike wire balers!! How many bits of that wire got left in the field for every bale tie failure.
I'm considering not square baling my hay this season. Round baling is so much less stressfull, fewer steps to get the job done, less equipment to hook up, etc. I feed a large flock of sheep and goats. I only use square bales when ewes are in lambing pens and a round bale can be put in barn flat side down and use a pitch fork to carry unwrapped hay to lambing jugs. I'll test it this year and see how it works.
Ah but square bales are so nice!! I always used to sleep out, before they were brought into the barns, on the tops of the haystacks under the stars with the sweet smell of hay! Happy days.
Evan did you get my message on Johnston grass I posted on the last video
“. Cross Timbers Bison “ lost a yearling from the prussic acid
Johnston grass gives off a toxic substance when under stress
Evan put it out on the pasture with the steers and let them pick through it
At least you might be able to use the round bails for maybe bedding?
You can always use it as bedding.
there's always next year 👍👍👍👍👍
You just have some tough luck with bailers, hang in there you’ll figure it out. I’d use that stuff in as mulch or compose I don’t think you want your livestock eating moldy hay. Also there’s no use ejecting your last bail until you get back to the yard, you just have to come back for it anyway, right? Stay safe.
The ratchet clutch is to protect the driveline in an overload situation, not when the drive shaft has gone to a 90 degree angle cause the tedder roled over.
It works good to put on to of freshly poured concrete or dirt with seeds planted to help with the bird problems.
jack
You are a hard working man. I am curious, what is your day job? Thanks
Nothing to do with this video but recently you were trying to catch a few catfish for sizing and freezing, suggest a chicken wire cylinder dropped in the channel with small live bait along with stinky bait for several days. Guessing you would need a production line to skin and bag. Lol
When we wanted to just get bad stuff "off the feild", we'd just run the chopper on it, without a wagon. Feed's next year's crop.
you probably need to get new sensors and get the machine serviced
We used a home the ratchet clutch side of the pto on the tractor, and not on the side of the tool that you're using. I don't know if it makes a different for the pto Shaft if it's used the other side arround, i never have tried that. Greetings from Holland
Evan, That clover hay may be better that you think. Don't sell it short till you let the steers evaluate just how good or bad it is. Dad bought a stack of clover hay that didn't look that good but the cattle would wait till the bale would thaw out so they could eat it. At a nickel a bale it was cheap feed. When your tedder hit the ground and jerked back causing the tedder to bounce up causing the pin to bounce out of the hitch. Then when the touge went into the ground the pto shaft pulled the tedder forward till it flipped over and the pto got a 90 degree bend in it that yoke didn't have chance with the 741 Case putting out 52 hp on the drawbar or 57 hp on the pto shaft. Yokes don't work well at 90 degree bends.
You will figure it out
you can use it for bedding
What kind of automatic twine control unit are you using? I just got a 2580 baler and it didn't come with the manual for the twine control. Can you do a tutorial on the controller??? Thanks.
Time to look at a Vermeer 604R Round Bailer that will bail wet or dry and you can bail in high gear
You should update us on the pond and I just subscribe
It can be used as bedding if they won't eat it.
Usually, mold makes hay less palatable, which can result in lower intake or even in animals refusing to eat the hay. Other problems from mold can occur because of mycotoxins produced by certain mold fungi. This is a big part of the decision problem since not all molds produce mycotoxins and the amount produced by those that do is unpredictable.
Are you going to save some poor quality hay to dial your balers in for next year so you can jump on your hay and get er done when opertunity comes, just a thought.
Take the last bale back in the baler as well as one on the spear
You can always use it for bedding.... they'll probably eat it anyway.
