Great to see our Southern Gentleman Virginian Farmer on his UA-cam channel doing his most favorite task , getting up his first cutting hay for 2020 . Thanks for taking us along Dennis .
Thanks Dennis for the great shots off the top of the Kuhns. You can t beat that square bale set-up you have. The bales were slidin nicely, and the hay is lookin good.
Thanks I really enjoyed riding along and sharing with us each piece of equipment. It was fun, brought back memories, I remember being the person on the wagon stacking the bales then the one throwing them off to be stack in the hay barn...
Hello from Bristol , hi Dennis, Another awesome video. especially liked the top of the accumulator view. much obliged for the effort and thoughtfulness. We've had some awful good weather here lately. HOT too. I know that's welcome sight for your outside work. I wish I could come and give ya a hand. Maybe someday soon. see ya on the next one. Warren
Hey Dennis, nice wind rows, looks thick, baling nice. It’s nice you got over three hundred bales. Beautiful field, I bet it smells good, too. With this equipment you can do it all your self. Nice 👍 Stay safe. Enjoyed watching. Thanks 🙏
Impressive especially the accumulator. I admire how well the mouth of it copes with sharp turns and once polished it seemed to work flawlessly. Just how wide is the bed on that baler - at times it didn't seem quite wide enough for the width of the swath when you were having to wriggle around some of those corners and obstacles.
GREAT Video, Dennis! There's nothing more satisfying to do or see that hay processing! It is so fulfilling! Back in the day a Narrow Front was the way to because of the zero turn radius ahead of the baler. What ever happened to Narrow Fronts? Does anyone still make them? sdh in CT
We do the same thing Dennis when we cut for dry hay bales (round or square). We cut it & lay it out wide, ted it out right away, maybe ted it again, then rake just before we bale it. We don't rake it way ahead of time because it seems the rake calls to the "rain gods"! (or so it seems doesn't it?!?!)
Only thing that would make this better is a couple of teenagers stacking the hay on a wagon behind the baler like we did as kids. Oh the good old days. Ron
I like watching this operation it's a lot different than the way we baled when we were growing up I could actually still put up square bales this way lol there is a question that I have does the acumillater ever seem like it might tip over on steep ground when it is full I just was curious because I have not pulled one good video thanks for the video
Nice video!! That new tractor seems to be working well for you. You might want to try that spray on graphite at tractor supply so those bales turn easer at the bottom
Thanks I use graphite on the top if you look closely you can see the gray on it. I haven’t really had any trouble with the bales turning unless they are to long.
Well done video! I’m considering going to an accumulator. You said it doesn’t like the slopes... that’s my only concern with using one in central Pa. My sons are going in the USMC and it’s hard to find kids to work. Blessings and Great Video!
Looks like good dry hay, were having a hard time to get hay to dry here. High humidity and no wind makes small bales hard to bale. Hay on the ground 5 days.
Cool video well presented great varied camera angles that good old retro bailer soon kicks them out.... But wats in the little yellow tank on the bailer and wats it do please??
It has hay preservative in it. If the moisture gets to high the hay can mold you can spray that on it up to a certain moisture and it will prevent mold it’s kinda like vinegar. I didn’t have to use it in this video the hay was good and dry
I can't even imagine having one of those accumulators back when i was growing up on the farm 70 years ago. It sure sames a lot of backs and hard work. Gets the hay off the field dry and in the barn.
City kid, now adult, here. I worked summers bailing hay the old way. That accumulator and the skid steer take all the "work" out of farm work. How long does it take to make that equipment pay for itself?
D, did your BC5060 come with hydraulic tongue swing or did you add it? I’d like to do this on my BC5050 but can’t find any info on it. Thanks much for the insight, I really enjoy your vids.
D, had to laugh when I saw you struggling with the giant first bale. I struggle with that every year, but don’t want to leave hay in the bailer over winter. Question for you; how tight do you have your bail twine? I have a couple of customers that want it like a banjo string and I can’t seem to get it that tight.
It’s banjo tight, the accumulator has a lot to do with that it puts even back pressure on the bales I don’t have to run the tension very tight. My baler also has hydraulic tension.
I guess you haven’t figured out the drone yet but you had some good views goin on there anyway. When you had the camera on the top showing the bales going down the accumulator you were getting a bale every 8 or 9 seconds, pretty cool. Stay well, stay safe and we’ll see ya on the next one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks I’ve got lots of videos with drone footage but it takes a lot of time to set up and concentrating once it’s in the air, I just didn’t have time for all that on the day I was baling I have some videos coming with drone shots of the baler.
Awesome job with the different angles! Is that a high capacity baler? How how many bales does it bale an hour? What does a square bake go for in your area?
I’m constantly changing gears to try and keep the baler fed consistently anywhere from A3 to B4 for first cutting you can go faster in second cutting normally you could probably pull it with 75 pto hp
what a gear and lever paradise! i guess you don't feel like having a camera get eaten by showing the raking and packing? is the raking arm hitting the top cover? sure be nice to watch without the covers on. the cam system on the bail catcher must be like a old linotype setter machine! yep i'm a gear nut. thanks for the video
We have a bc 5060 as well. Bought 2 months ago. We are have trouble with the baler tieing. Did you have any trouble when you bought the baler new? We are running New Holland twine as well. The baler will bale about 4-5 then miss one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Yes actually I had that exact problem. The problem was the twine disc brake each knotter has one the bolt to tighten it is on the right side top of each knotter it has to be pretty tight but the main problem with it was that the hole that the brake (witch is just a thin piece of spring steel) goes through is a little to big and the brake can slip off the bottom (or it could be the top I can’t remember) of the twin disc therefor it doesn’t hold the correct tension on it. Loosen the bolt on the brake then make sure the brake is up on the disc then tight it and it needs to be pretty tight. If it’s not tight enough it can let the twine go occasionally if it’s to tight it can tear the twine but it would have to be really really tight for that to happen. Im using plastic 7200 170 twine
Have you learned to drive that Deere with no clutching like stopping while round baling/loader work,is it pretty smooth like going from forward to reverse without clutching thanks
In the field I alway grab from the 2 side they don’t fall of the grabber when you pick them up the other way the 2 will tend to fall off the hooks if you hit bumps going across the field
I’d like to see how you get your bale tension set up and what the bales weigh. I got an af12 last year and struggle still getting the bales just the right weight and tension.
Weight has more to do with moisture than anything. I make my bales 36 to 38 inches, make them tight they run about 55 to 65 pounds if they get heavier I know the moisture is getting high.
That’s about right. Where do you set your baler tension at though? I know the bale chute on the accumulator adds to the tension of the bale When it’s full of bales.
That was a very good video....The only thing wrong with it was..it wasn't long enough!! I could have watched it till the cows came home for milking time..So, I had to restart it all over again...anyhow, I wish you and your family God's Blessings and upon your farm.
Wow, that baler will really eat some hay! I have a old New Holland 315 and it isn’t even close to being able bale like that. Pretty place where your at, what part of the country are you in?
I have a 5050 and it will eat a windrow of hay out of my uncle's v rake in medium rang 1st gear(2.7mph) and not even think about it spitting out the bales. Just baled 400 in less then 2 hrs.
No it’s not worth your time you can re-rake 5 acres and maybe get 5 bales. Also whatever is left behind will rot and add nutrients back into the soil so it’s not a total loss.
That’s what was on the lot at the time and got a good deal. They have the same stroke count per min the biggest difference is the pickup width. I do wish it was wider at times but other than that it’s a great baler.
Hello Dennis, your 5060 sure can chew up some hay, I have 570 think there the same baler yours being newer of course. Are your bales consistent in size all the time? Mine gives me long bales sometimes. And are you going to fertilize after first cut? Thanks for sharing this great video Bud👍👍
Yes it’s the same baler. They are mostly the same size. The trick to consistent bales isn’t the baler it’s the windrows and the speed you bale if the windrows get heavy you have to adjust the speed if they get light you have to speed up if there are big wads in your windrows that will cause inconsistencies in bale length worse than anything. Raking with a wheel rake will cause inconsisten bale length because they have a tendency to make wads in the windrows
@@DLHFarms I use a Kuhn single rotary rake, I never tryed the slowing down for the heavier areas or speeding up for the lite. I'll give it a try for sure on my 2nd cut Thanks again Dennis for the tip👍👍
What happens is that it depends on hw much hay goes in that last stoke on each bale right before it ties if it’s a big wad it makes a long bale if it’s barely any it will be shorter that why you have to try to feed consistently all the time makes each flake about the same size in every bale. It’s hard to do but that’s the trick to it
@@DLHFarms Thanks again Dennis, I'm going to try and work on adjusting my speed like you suggested. It doesn't happen alot but I think your rite sometimes I plow rite threw the heavy hay area's and I need to slow down. Thanks again and take care👍
I need to find a way to hold the bales in the shoot coming out of my 5050 baler and going up into the bale basket I have. If I make a turn too sharp they pop out of the side.
I enjoyed that way too much 😂. Funny you mention wet ground, my mate swears it doesn't ,at ter if the ground is wet, I on the other hand seem to find the hay stays wet! Don't ask me why 😂. Where's your dear wife this year?!? I've kinda missed not seeing her in a tractor making hay with you... put she's better looking than you Dennis 😉😂😊
Gerard Gallagher no I mean I’m used to hearing the klucky PTO on the T5. I’m not used to not hearing the klunk is what I mean. Because the Deere doesn’t do that.
DLH Farms oh I bet! Sometimes when I watch your videos you’ll start the engine and there’s no sound and I’m like am I deaf or is that cab that quiet!? Haha. That 6330 I got was a huge upgrade cab wise. In the Massey 393 that used to be my main tractor the cab was so loud you wouldn’t even think about trying to talk on the phone. Crazy
I think there is more work going into moving the camera around than there is bailing hay lol. If I was just a little closer I would come help you get it done. I'm just a few hours away. 🤷♂️💪😁
Great to see our Southern Gentleman Virginian Farmer on his UA-cam channel doing his most favorite task , getting up his first cutting hay for 2020 . Thanks for taking us along Dennis .
Haha thanks 👍
Thanks Dennis for the great shots off the top of the Kuhns. You can t beat that square bale set-up you have. The bales were slidin nicely, and the hay is lookin good.
Thanks it was some awesome hay!
Thanks for taking the time and effort to place the camera in interesting locations. Great content that shows this amazing machinery in action.
Thanks 👍
love watching your videos,they are so relaxing to watch.
Awesome 👍
Thank you Dennis, I always love your baling videos. By the way, a lot of those windrows looked really nice and thick. Good looking bales.
Thanks! Yeah it turned out really good I was happy
I never get sick of watching and hearing a little square baler working. Another great video dennis.
Me either!
Thanks I really enjoyed riding along and sharing with us each piece of equipment. It was fun, brought back memories, I remember being the person on the wagon stacking the bales then the one throwing them off to be stack in the hay barn...
Yep I’ve done it that way too!
Thanks for the view of the accumulator. A lot of thinking went into that design. Simple & effective.
Yep that’s why they are so popular
Hello Dennis ,great day of putting up square bales .Like watching the acumater stack to bales .Take care,stay safe .👍👍😊✌
👍
I was afraid you were not going to show the accumulater in action, but at the end you did. Thanks.
👍
Love watching small squares getting made
👍
Great looking hay. Glad to see you getting it up. Great video and keep the videos rolling, take care and stay safe
Thanks 👍
Great awesome video Dennis, love that baler ,
Thanks!
Great set up there Dennis, good to see , we still waiting for weather in North Wales UK.
Hopefully you will get some soon seems like it took forever for good hay weather to get here
Sweet angles! Could watch this all day lol.
Haha 👍
Dennis...I've been watching you so long I recognize your fields.
Haha 👍

DLH Farms awesome on the 700 bales. 👍👍👍
Great job keep up the cool vids
Thanks!

Just how wide is the bed on that baler - at times it didn't seem quite wide enough for the width of the swath when you were having to wriggle around some of those corners and obstacles.
I think it’s a 65 inch pick up head sometimes it’s not quite wide enough for first cutting hay but I get by.
GREAT Video, Dennis! There's nothing more satisfying to do or see that hay processing! It is so fulfilling! Back in the day a Narrow Front was the way to because of the zero turn radius ahead of the baler. What ever happened to Narrow Fronts? Does anyone still make them? sdh in CT
Thanks! Know one makes them that I’m aware of.
Man that is some nice looking hay I wish we were square baling all I bale anymore with all this rain is junk nice job 👍🏻
Thanks, hate to hear that. I been meaning to talk to you about the AF10 I’ve got one on the way I hope it’s as good as my old one.
DLH Farms there pretty good the new ones have all the updates it should be bullet proof
Thanks for showing the bale accumulator in action. Very interesting.
👍
We do the same thing Dennis when we cut for dry hay bales (round or square). We cut it & lay it out wide, ted it out right away, maybe ted it again, then rake just before we bale it. We don't rake it way ahead of time because it seems the rake calls to the "rain gods"! (or so it seems doesn't it?!?!)
Yep yep and not sure about calling in rain but it just doesn’t dry as fast after you rake so I put it off as long as I can
Some great views Dennis. Would be curious to see, if you have time, how that baler is threaded, how one roll connects to another. Thanks.
Ok I’ll try to do that sometime
May God bless you Mr. Farmer
Thanks for the ride along Dennis, nice camera angles #531👍
Awesome thanks!
Only thing that would make this better is a couple of teenagers stacking the hay on a wagon behind the baler like we did as kids. Oh the good old days. Ron
Nah I don’t want to listen to the whining haha
I like watching this operation it's a lot different than the way we baled when we were growing up I could actually still put up square bales this way lol there is a question that I have does the acumillater ever seem like it might tip over on steep ground when it is full I just was curious because I have not pulled one good video thanks for the video
I used to be concerned about that but I’ve took it in some steep places without any trouble.

Yes I would definitely recommend it
Well done video! I’m considering going to an accumulator. You said it doesn’t like the slopes... that’s my only concern with using one in central Pa. My sons are going in the USMC and it’s hard to find kids to work. Blessings and Great Video!
Get one all I do is slopes and it works well enough
another great videos buddy!
Thanks!
It's always nice to get stuff broken in at the beginning of the season, so that hopefully the rest of the season goes well!
Haha that’s right hopefully it gets broken in and not just broken
Looks like good dry hay, were having a hard time to get hay to dry here. High humidity and no wind makes small bales hard to bale. Hay on the ground 5 days.
Yeah it’s been really wet here but the days that have been dry have been good days to dry hay sunny and windy
Lol we appreciate you risking life and limb for these cool camera angles.
Haha👍
Thanks for taking the time to show this!! What size is your tractor and what model square bailer? Thanks.
It’s. John Deere 6110R and the baler is a New Holland BC5060
Dennis i got way behind but caught up on the videos and would like to say that you for the effort you put into them.
Thanks 😊

It did not come on it, talk to your dealer there is a kit you can buy.
Watching that hay baling is like counting elephants on a wall!!!
Haha
Good video. Where'd you get the green tractor? Sort of surprised to see you using one.
Bought it a Mast Tractor in Ohio
Hi Dennis .... Nice video . See you on the next video. [ from Springbok country WC 2019].
Thanks 👍
man ... that baler makes a nice tight bale!
Yes it does a good job, the accumulator actually helps with bale formation too because of the bales in the chute holding back pressure
D, had to laugh when I saw you struggling with the giant first bale. I struggle with that every year, but don’t want to leave hay in the bailer over winter. Question for you; how tight do you have your bail twine? I have a couple of customers that want it like a banjo string and I can’t seem to get it that tight.
It’s banjo tight, the accumulator has a lot to do with that it puts even back pressure on the bales I don’t have to run the tension very tight. My baler also has hydraulic tension.

Yes it is considered a high capacity baler it can bale about 320 to 350 an hour
Love the video. What gear do u bale in and what is the minimum horse power needed to run the square baler.
I’m constantly changing gears to try and keep the baler fed consistently anywhere from A3 to B4 for first cutting you can go faster in second cutting normally you could probably pull it with 75 pto hp
Quite a rig Thankyou great videos
Thanks!
what a gear and lever paradise! i guess you don't feel like having a camera get eaten by showing the raking and packing? is the raking arm hitting the top cover? sure be nice to watch without the covers on. the cam system on the bail catcher must be like a old linotype setter machine! yep i'm a gear nut. thanks for the video
No it’s not hitting. What you can hear is the hay dogs
Interesting video Dennis. Thanks for sharing.
👍
We have a bc 5060 as well. Bought 2 months ago. We are have trouble with the baler tieing. Did you have any trouble when you bought the baler new? We are running New Holland twine as well. The baler will bale about 4-5 then miss one. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I could watch you bale all day.
Me too haha
man that accumulator is sweet!
Thanks 😊
If you had to do it over again would you still get a kuhns accumulator or would you go with like a Stevenson flat deck accumulator?
Kuhns all the way as a matter of fact I bought a new one today
Have you learned to drive that Deere with no clutching like stopping while round baling/loader work,is it pretty smooth like going from forward to reverse without clutching thanks
Yeah it’s no problem and smooth too
Your a pro UA-camr. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Which side do you grab the pallets from? The 2 or 4? Pretty cool setup. Hope we get to see you load out. Thanks for sharing...
In the field I alway grab from the 2 side they don’t fall of the grabber when you pick them up the other way the 2 will tend to fall off the hooks if you hit bumps going across the field
@@DLHFarms Everyone gets a heart but me : ( Still like your videos anyway. Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it...
Sorry just forgot
@@DLHFarms No sweat! I was joking...
I know there's a bunch of variables but on average how many small square bales can you get per acre? What do they weigh?
They are about 60 pounds I get anywhere from 50 to 100 bales per acre.
Dennis, I've notice a tight turn in the video. Do you ever have any bales in the chute get deformed from making a 90 degree turn?
Well it depends, normally no but it has happened
You’re livin the dream Dennis livin the dream.
👍
DLH Farms you need to stick a few trump flags on that baling rig and call it the trump train! FYI it looks absolutely beautiful where you live.
When are you going to start up the cutting up the firewood for this coming year?
I’ve already got the bin full I’ll try to show where I’m at with wood soon
I’d like to see how you get your bale tension set up and what the bales weigh. I got an af12 last year and struggle still getting the bales just the right weight and tension.
Weight has more to do with moisture than anything. I make my bales 36 to 38 inches, make them tight they run about 55 to 65 pounds if they get heavier I know the moisture is getting high.
That’s about right. Where do you set your baler tension at though? I know the bale chute on the accumulator adds to the tension of the bale When it’s full of bales.
I run the gage on 1.5 it’s about the middle of the green area and yes the accumulator also adds tension and makes the bales more uniform.
Your lucky with the good drying weather.
Lots of prayer to get that. Didn’t think it was ever going to stop raining
Dennis, That sure was a great video....Now that I watch it all...I'm Tard......God bless you and the family.
Haha rest up, more coming
It would be interesting to see how the machine ties the bails.
I there is a UA-cam video of the knotter I believe
Great Job.
Thanks!
That was a very good video....The only thing wrong with it was..it wasn't long enough!! I could have watched it till the cows came home for milking time..So, I had to restart it all over again...anyhow, I wish you and your family God's Blessings and upon your farm.
Awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. I enjoyed reliving it while I edited the video.
Wow, that baler will really eat some hay! I have a old New Holland 315 and it isn’t even close to being able bale like that.
Pretty place where your at, what part of the country are you in?
I have a 5050 and it will eat a windrow of hay out of my uncle's v rake in medium rang 1st gear(2.7mph) and not even think about it spitting out the bales. Just baled 400 in less then 2 hrs.
I have a 315 also and your right it can’t handle that much hay at once it has a slower plunger speed. I’m in Patrick county Va
Since i only know 1 person with an accumulator and they just bought it how does it work when you have a broken bale?
Haha it’s not fun, bale it out then go back there and clean off the table
With how much balers in general leave on the ground would it not be prudent to do a secondary raking and baling to maximize yields?
thats what i was thinking
No it’s not worth your time you can re-rake 5 acres and maybe get 5 bales. Also whatever is left behind will rot and add nutrients back into the soil so it’s not a total loss.
Good stuff which transmission is your John Deere?
Auto Quad
I’m curious, we are updating are baler for next year and I wonder why you have a 5060 instead of a 5070 ?
That’s what was on the lot at the time and got a good deal. They have the same stroke count per min the biggest difference is the pickup width. I do wish it was wider at times but other than that it’s a great baler.
Do you have any thoughts on the Massey Ferguson in-line Baler 1840?
Kacey Wilson don’t know anything about them
How many bales per acre did you average? Just curious.
I believe about 70
@11:42 was in my opinion the best view from the fender, there one can see all the haymaking godnees and the beutiful suroundings aswell, /J.
Awesome
Hello Dennis, your 5060 sure can chew up some hay, I have 570 think there the same baler yours being newer of course.
Are your bales consistent in size all the time? Mine gives me long bales sometimes. And are you going to fertilize after first cut?
Thanks for sharing this great video Bud👍👍
Yes it’s the same baler. They are mostly the same size. The trick to consistent bales isn’t the baler it’s the windrows and the speed you bale if the windrows get heavy you have to adjust the speed if they get light you have to speed up if there are big wads in your windrows that will cause inconsistencies in bale length worse than anything.

Thanks again and take care👍
..GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE...
Thanks Bob
is it just me or is the lower sections over by the road heavier
Yes it is that’s normal for that field
I need to find a way to hold the bales in the shoot coming out of my 5050 baler and going up into the bale basket I have. If I make a turn too sharp they pop out of the side.
Kuhns uses a big rubber belt it works really good
Ok. I will have to try to make something like that and try it. Thanks
Look on the Kuhns website it also has a pulley system behind the chute the belt rides on when you turn it works great
never seen ya'll have problems with the accumulator?
I actually have a problem with it right now, one of the gates broke
Everyone needs to own a hay baler and a grain combine! Then they would know what work really is!
👍
Thought you got rid of your NH? Wasn't the T.5 you had a real issue or something?
I did get rid of the T5 and bought the John Deere that’s in the video
How many acres of hay do you work?
Pushing about 200 this year
What’s in the yellow barrel?
It hay preservative. Kinda like vinegar
I enjoyed that way too much 😂. Funny you mention wet ground, my mate swears it doesn't ,at ter if the ground is wet, I on the other hand seem to find the hay stays wet! Don't ask me why 😂. Where's your dear wife this year?!? I've kinda missed not seeing her in a tractor making hay with you... put she's better looking than you Dennis 😉😂😊
Don’t worry I’ve got video of her coming soon
@@DLHFarms 😂sorry mate, I made it sound a bit wrong about missing your dear wife 😂😣. Be good to see her back though 👍
Haha I know everyone is really here for my wife 😂
@@DLHFarms 😂 😂364 days a year we wait while your on, just for that one day 😣😂
Hah. I’m not used to not hearing an obnoxious KLUNK KLUNK KLUNK on that square baler haha
There was a bigger KLUNK KLUNK KLUNK with the T5 :)
I had the camera outside a lot in this video
Gerard Gallagher no I mean I’m used to hearing the klucky PTO on the T5. I’m not used to not hearing the klunk is what I mean. Because the Deere doesn’t do that.
Oh yeah definitely much better running it with the Deere with the cab closed up you can’t even hear that thing back there!
DLH Farms oh I bet! Sometimes when I watch your videos you’ll start the engine and there’s no sound and I’m like am I deaf or is that cab that quiet!? Haha. That 6330 I got was a huge upgrade cab wise. In the Massey 393 that used to be my main tractor the cab was so loud you wouldn’t even think about trying to talk on the phone. Crazy
Don't you have a check list before you start baling???
Yeah I’m my head
The John Deere is soooooo much quieter than the whiny, clunky New Holland 👍
Yep much better
I think there is more work going into moving the camera around than there is bailing hay lol. If I was just a little closer I would come help you get it done. I'm just a few hours away. 🤷♂️💪😁
Definitely was a lot of work going into filming
Trip the bailer just before bailing. It will solve the long bale problem.
Ok I’ll try it
Snake in a bale at 30:41...👍
I’ll be danged it sure was!
press x to unfold baler
Haha
