You run what you have to work with. Older barns were built originally for loose hay, but easily were adapted to small squares. I was never in better shape than when I was handling 10k square bales each year. Twice to get em in the barn and again to feed them! Great video, Bill. Keeping the old iron employed!
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 I am waiting for you to show the magic mystery cure for hydraulic oil leaking around the bottom of the housing of 40 Series JD, esp the 2840. The oem seals just don't do it. 👍
I learn something new every video! Thank you! I helped on the farm when I was a kid. Simple things. Pulling wagons in and picking rocks were among my tasks. I never really got to learn more in depth. We don’t farm anymore. We rent it to Mennonite’s. But still have some tractors and equipment. So this is really cool to see how things work.
I was a La and L junkie. I had 2 L's and 3 LA's. Knew every nut and bolt. Fixed a many a one for customers over the years. That little tractor will pull a farmall cub backwards all day. Glad to see you still have the original throttle setup.
Round bales have worked well for us for a while, but a lot of that has to do with the way you feed and where the fields are. We throw out a ring feeder in the pasture and let them go at it, we also have a bunch of small fields not all connected, so it is better to bring a loader tractor and the 1 ton dump truck than the baler, wagon extra pair of hands to stack and then drive the wagon home unload it then back to the field
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 That was the point everybody can find a system that works with their equipment, storage, feeding style, help, field proximity. I like seeing other ways work. Back 30 years or so we had a 336 and 24t with bale throwers and sided wagons, but things change.
Good show ! LA reminds me of ours that we still use to cultivate the pumpkins. Does the same thing to you, get a little to high a gear and you can start it again. Guess I should fashion myself up one of them there custom choke rods!
I realize there are reasons for round baling, large square baling and small square baling but I can’t comprehend when you see small squares to be dropped on the ground and picking them up later. Like you said put them in a wagon and they leave the field when you do. Also ground compaction is a big issue and why all the extra driving around the field picking them up. But to each his own.
South of Springfield IL, since 1:00 pm we have gotten 5 inches of rain. 8:30 pm now. Love the old green. What did you put under the strawberries to keep the wagon bed from rotting?
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 thank you. Thought maybe it was tin or metal of some kind. And yeh, gonna be some replanting for the neighbors. We have nothing in yet.
That when farming was great . Thankyou Bill

Thanks to The Lord, someday that LA will have a rebuilt starter. Excellent video.
Haha, good thought!

Hey Bradley! Glad you got a system that works for you. We always had help and extra wagons.

Enjoy watching this old equipment still in use. Have a good weekend Mr Bill
Snoopy got his exercise. Another interesting day with Deere power
Keep up the good work God bless you and your friends and family

Hey, sounds like we're on the same page!
Little square bales save money.
Saw that splash of gas on the hood. Now you'll have to re-wax it.
Awesome show tonight,Bill, God Bless
Thanks Jimmy, always a pleasure to hear from you!
Enjoyed the video. I'm glad I found your channel.
Hey Terry, welcome, l'm glad to have you in our group!
👍
Great video but there is just one thing strawberries got me a craving a strawberry cobbler
Wow, my wife makes a great strawberry pie, but cobbler is a new one on me!
I see you musta learned not to wrap your thumb around the crank handle! I did! the hard way!
The strawberry patch IS NOT safe,,lol.
A friend of mine had all three of L series don't know if his wife still has them
Lots of respect for you but I think I stick with my little red tractors for the garden 😂
HaHa, yeah those "little red tractors" are a little more refined than this old JD.😁
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 i saw a LA at a show and they are neat. Those little JD 40s look like they would make good garden tractors also

Hey Dan, hope the rain doesn't make too big of a mess.
On the wagon floors, been a long time, one is a plate of 1/4" steel, the newer one is old 2X 10 treated planking from a demolished pier.
@@so.md.dirtfarmer2226 thank you. Thought maybe it was tin or metal of some kind. And yeh, gonna be some replanting for the neighbors. We have nothing in yet.
😃😃😃😃😃!
LA sounded good. How much HP in those tractors?
An Earth-shattering 14 HP. 😳
Just enough. 😂
