Baling Hay bales without a tractor or any equipment!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Equipment-less hay; using only a lawn mower, a cardboard box and some string we bale a few hundred pounds of hay off our front lawn. We will use this to feed our goat this winter, but this method would be great if you just need a few for decoration or for hay bale/straw bale gardening. These bales of hay require no baler machine, no baler wire, no equipment whatsoever!
Innovative, effective and low cost. Great to see the gals having a go and getting the job done.
I know it is a few years later but this was a great video. You did a great job.
Thats alot of work, me and my dad got into doing hay, and started with a 3 acre field that used to be lawn. I bought a baler for 800 bucks, he had an old tractor, Bought an old wagon for 200 bucks Then had a neighbor cut for us and rake it the first time. We turned the windrow before bailing and it was alot of work. I give you credit. We have since bought a new tractor, upgraded baler, bought a rake, and still have neighbor cut for us, but we put up 3000 plus bales a year now to sell and for my horses. IT really is rewarding. Keep up the good work. That is a nice way to do a few small bales to keep your critters fed.
nice! I hope to get to the point where a small tractor and bailer will be necessary, we have alot of work clearing and planting new pastures first, in the meantime this is great for a goat or two.
Awesome. Beautiful woman working hard in ⛅ I could watch and enjoy for hours. That's a great bail idea with box works great. Nice video thank you.
Nice. I couldn't even get my girl to do the dishes.😂
LMAO!!! YEA SHES A KEEPER
Very awesome! I have 4 pgymy goats & an area of land unused that can be left to grow. I was looking at lawn mower bale attachments but this will save me a ton of money, thank you for sharing!
This is amazing! Thank you so much, this will help feed my heifer and sheep
that is making you young,healthy,and pretty.also smart. good luck.
Best idea I have seen for the urban farmer that doesn’t have a bunch of money to spend on a complicated contraption.
Very cool. The box idea is the simplest idea I've seen.
That's pretty slick,I like it.👍🇺🇸
The mice will love it! They will be moving in overnight. Keep that in mind when you go picking one of your bales out to use it.
Great idea, I'll have to try this!
Thanks, and you got a new sub here! :D
Take care!
Good Day Far in the future of our barbados not the
Barbados nation
Краса, умничка! Я восхищен. Еслиб моя женщина соизволила бы заниматься таким делом, конечно перенапрягаться я б ей не позволил. Ну просто само желание трудиться - это восторг!!!!!!!!!
Thanks this was very helpful.
Good job
Works great on a quarter acre.
goodjob , lady you madeit happen
I need one of these! oh and the hay idea was good too! lol
Note! If you use a standard rotary or shredder type mower it will crush the cells in the leaves of the plants and will begin fermentation and rotting, which means you should not feed this type of hay to most animals.
That's the kind of girl you have to marry! Thank God such women still exists out there. :)
good vid but i have to say it thought you meant without a tractor what did you cut it with? and you took it off the feild with utv
I’d never drive by a neighbor doing that without coming back with a bailer. It would be tight in there, but it could be done. Normally, I’d say you better learn how to use the equipment and borrow it next time, but for the sake of your fences.. I’d just hit it with the SP wind rower and come back and bail it.
seeing as I don't have a hay field I will have to keep buying square bales at the barn $3 ea. wheat straw for lanscaping
watching from south Africa, wonderful
my wife won't even take the plates off the table...nice girl
If you don't mind my asking, about how many square feet is that yard?
110x150 aprox
Good Onya love!
That's a real lady!
do the bales stay together
Clever!
From which country
Was a pretty day bu you young lady made it Beautiful
What state do you live in?
bravo
At 0:48 mark- you point at a big tractor and trailer and call this - "actual farmer"
Sorry but your operation is just as much of a farm as his. Maybe more so. The big "farm operations" are more machine operations than anything else.
Keep up the good work and onward to more success.!
jason mcmillan Yay!! Someone has realized this! People say we aren't farmers bc we only do hay for our horses but we use the same implements a lot of the big scale dairy farmers use to do hay. We just use square bales and a small new holland. Same do concept. Keeps the horses fed. Keeps us happy
Clearly you've never farmed. Equipment is still a lot of work to maintain, and rarely does it work perfectly. I guess being a firefighter you would never know, as someone else likely maintains your fleet.
I like her box....
you are so fast!!!omg
im in love lol
эх мне бы такую бабу
a lawn mower is equipment
For the size of hay field, this method works very well. Like the use of the garden tractor to cut. One suggestion I would make to her is to cut a piece of 3/4 inch plywood to fit inside the box. Should be able to get the bales tighter & more uniform. Great job.
excellent example of a beautiful natural woman.
gotta respect a girl thats not afraid to work
Yes and hard work
she's pretty + she farms = super hot!
I agree. Most women around here wouldn't even sit on a tractor without a cab an AC to cut hay. This lady is not afraid to work.
cute lady, not afraid to work
Bill Rayvan yes she is working hard. I made homemade hay bales without machines and it is alot of work to make hay bales without machines.
Very awesome! I have 4 pgymy goats & an area of land unused that can be left to grow. I was looking at lawn mower bale attachments but this will save me a ton of money, thank you for sharing!
nice work, nothing like manual labor.
Ingenuity at its best. Keep up the good work.
Agreed, very cool.
Dustin Huser Modern machines are the ingenuity. This is how it was done before the machines were invented.
I also agree, this is alot of work!
overtoke ,and the only thing you do is run your mouth.
overtoke tosser
Simple yet VERY effective - just what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video, I have a few suggestions and or ideas. Try cutting the grass when its taller and has less leaves this way the hay has less protein so it wil not be as brown during the winter. And maybe you could make a wooden box with a garbage bag in it. and make a lever with a plunger and after that vacuum the bag. Or even easier get a couple of big bags and push it all in there. That way you will preserve the hay better.
Handy Keppy Plus generally hay cutting equipment use a one cut sicial bar style cutter. A lawn mower makes many cuts basicly destroying most the moisture content. Live stock need a certain moisture continue from the vegetation for digestion.
+Jason Buis They ALSO NEED PROTEIN as in leaves lol
I like it... Vacuum packed...
Thoroughly enjoyed your vid. We were considering making a baler, but this would be faster and save on costs. Thanks for posting!
Thank you. I am making my own hay to use as mulch formy Gardens. This is the way I thought I would make bales. Great video confirming how I thought it would be done.
When she said rush she wasn't kidding 🤣
How they used to do it in Victorian Britain! Well done for not being work-shy!
Not hating or anything but for the price of that UTV you could have bought hay for years or even a cheap tractor spreader and baler. Whatever works for you though
Better than this would be to use a Scythe. More work of course than a rotary mower, but you get strands of grass for hay rather than basically powered grass for hay. I can't imagine that a lawn mower exterior would be totally free of oil/gas toxins. The Scythe would be totally green.
We do agree, and are looking at picking up a sythe in the spring at one of the auctions around, bailing hay without any equipment round 2 hopefully coming this summer!
BALING please!
A string trimmer works good too.
Good idea, you go scythe 100acres lol

Nice job. Everyday we learn new tricks for our benefit. Thanks.
The cardboard box is great idea.
That is amazing! Tons of work, but looks great!
Do people seriously think that she did "two days of work in 2 minutes" ? Do they not see the sky LITERALLY CHANGING in the videos ? Do people not know about fast forward / sped up videos ?
I think its fairly obvious.
DONT HATE DARLIN YOU CUTE TO
Thank you very much for the information. This was just what I needed. Have about 4 acres to mow and bail. Think this will work just fine.
@GlennSan check out Empacadoro manual de heyno it's a video where two kids make two really nice bales in under 3 minutes with a manual baler. Their system really works well and they had it down to a science. I've also seen people mount that style on wheels so they can move them around the field but if you have a landscape trailer or something like that you could haul it and your bales on that and just pull it with a car, truck, minivan, atv, or lawn tractor.
I have 2000 acres to do. I don't think this method will work for me.
no sir, no it wont
I was impressed to say the least. Great job and one thing for certain is that you aren't lazy!!!
She's a fast worker. 🤣👽😱
Hot dame I'm showing this to my wife she's going to hate me😂
Nice quick and shirt video...a good solution to an expensive problem. How long will the hay last?
thank you for the info ...I Wanted to pull apart the large bale and make them into smaller ones to use for my Autumn decor outside...this was very helpful !
Baling hay is hard work even when you have the equipment to make it easier. That took some serious determination to do, but you got it done. Where there's a will, there's always a way. Nice job!
I'll never understand trying to use hand methods to mimic machinery results. Grab a pitchfork and stack it up instead of wasting time trying to bale it.
Go get um girl
You rock. Pretty too
Emmm...I hate to burst everybody's bubble, but grass cut with that kind of machine is supposed to actually be very bad for animals to eat, as the machine's blades are cutting each individual grass blade multiple times. It ends up kind of mulched. Not only does it reduce the quality of the protein content I believe, but more importantly, mulching like this leads to a lot of DUST when the hay is dry, which, especially with horses, can cause them significant respiratory problems.
Hay needs to be made and processed with great attention to dust minimisation. The integrity of each grass blade must be greatly maintained.
For this reason, one needs to use either a scythe, or a machine which only slices the bottom of the grass blade, as in, designated mowers for haymaking.
Considering the purpose of the video is to work on a budget, and two wheeled tractors and cutting attachments will set you back $1,000 just to begin with, a good scythe is an excellent investment and for around $300 for the scythe and the *proper* maintenance equipment, it is a once off investment which will then serve you pretty much, for life.
Scything makes GREAT hay, and instills a sense of peace and harmony with the land and the Earth when one is using them.
God bless all, and happy hay making! The solar minimum is really becoming apparent, so more haymakers are definitely needed.
Slán, from Ireland 👍👍🇮🇪
That way of making hay is way to cool. I bail and pick up 5,000 a summer and fall. I wish the bails where that light
spence spencer I see what you did there.
Seen a Mexican cowboy on side of hiway one time picking up clippings after a mow. Now that i live nexto live stock. After i cut green belt i wat to make use of it. 2 we get free eggs & milk for it. However i do it cause i don't waist. Thx i was just curious on different ways
My yard is a mess after a long winter here in New Hampshire, limbs and branches everywhere. Can’t be bailed up but if you could stop by and help with the cleanup I’d appreciate that.

Thanks for your demonstration, it looks like it will work for me.
Truly amazing and very impressive. I tip my🎩to you.
God Bless🇺🇸🚜🌹
that is a pretty cute little trick.
And a pretty cute little chick.
@Hammerschlägen M Can you go fuck yourself or do you need help with that like you do opening a pickle jar ?
What r u feeding that hay to?
It looks much simpler at high speed! Nice job and it looks like first rate feed. Proud of you!
Amazing. Where there's a will, there's a way. Good job. You ever think of making haylage using that method? Supposedly more palatable and nutritious for the animals. I'm thinking lining the box with a black garbage bag would be the only additional "equipment".
More, and better, compaction wouldn't hurt any in either method, too, but would be especially better for the haylage.
Thanks for sharing this.
possibly, im not sure though, I believe they spray the haylage with some sort of preservative before putting it into the 'bags'. I can ask around.
The preservative is sprayed on as the hay enters the baler during pickup. It was/is mostly used on high dollar forage, like alfalfa, to prevent it from molding and/or rotting, and enables the producer to bale the crop without it being fully dry/cured (20% + moisture content, I think). Better enables you to get it in the string quicker without damaging exposure to rain, compacts tighter with no mold problems, and requires no further "processing" (wrapping)--just dry storage.
Haylage is basically fermentation of the crop, just like silage, hence the name. You can use a much higher moisture content hay (about 40%+, IIRC), and process the hay very soon after cutting. The only things: the tighter packed the better, and absolute air tightness in the wrapping is critical. Any air that gets to it will cause rot. Dead packing in storage helps with the process, also. DO NOT use rain damaged hay -- first quality is best. (Also, it would be better to "clip" the grass rather than mowing with a lawn mower, as the mower chops up the grass and allows nutrient leaching. But, with haylage, at least it won't have to lay out so long, which will reduce the opportunity to leach out. But either way, go with what ya got, if that's all ya got.)
I experimented with my sweet corn stalks after harvesting the corn. After baling, which, with conventional square balers is really hard to do (not so in your case), I put each bale, nine I think it was, into plastic bags, tightly secured, and dead pack stacked it in my basement. I fed it a little early because of the heat it was generating -- I got a little scared -- so it was not fully ensiled. It was so hot, when I fed it, the cows had to wait a bit for it to cool enough to be eaten. They absolutely loved it and cleaned up every bit. The higher the sugar content of the forage, the more heat will be generated in the ensiling process. All grasses have some, but some more than others. But all are made more palatable for the livestock. Some say more nutritious, too, but not really sure how, if true.
If you can't "pack" it while baling, stack it on itself as much as possible in the barn and throw a sheet of plywood over it and some weight on that--while it ensiles. If you want to experiment first, just use one bale, and weight the dickens out of it for best results.
Thanks again for the video, and for the response. You seem to be much like myself: always looking for a different way of doing things and always experimenting. Keep up the good work. Your successes will always win out over any not so successful endeavors. And you'll never learn what works and what doesn't work unless you do a little experimenting. That said, I think you've hit upon a winner here.
very cool, thanks for the info!
Tab Lature Thanks so much for all your excellent info. It was really useful thank you.
Your title is not quite accurate, you did use a cardboard box as a bailer, that is equipment, basic as it is.
have a another 1000 acres you can do..:D
She is absolutely gorgeous 👌💕
great work guys love your videos n the tunes are awsome . band available for a seguin farm gig. three piece straight up blues .
Always looking for copyright free music if you have anything recorded!
I think I'm in love.
Another fine piece of womanhood! Lazy, she definitely is not!
Was wanting to see the method of actual baling, but that's not what was shown.
Most people don't get it... what a beautiful video... Well done.... Now go enjoy a candle light bubble bath and a glass of your favorite refreshment..
