As aggravated as you sounded and as many issues as you were having, you weren’t charging that man enough per bale 😆 You are the king of bale flipping 👍🏻
Great video Dennis. Always a lot of work rebaling and very dusty. Done many bales because we sold hay for extra income on the farm. Worst part was rolling the round bales out by hand.
Our Set up is under an open shed, so wind direction moves most of the dust...... sometimes at you sometimes away from you..The only time our bale count per hour was slow was when we used a Bale Bandit..... Being as the Bale Baron builds from the bottom and the Bale Bandit from the top.. the Baron is more consistant and less prone to rough up the bales.......causing jams.......
Very nice intro, I liked the music also. I would hate to rebale hay, doing it once was always enough for me. My dad always had us bale up all the broken bales when the barn was empty in the spring. Ron
Now I'm not one of them fellas that hollers first but since I'm here, first! Dennis, with all this music and new camera angles and effects and all that stuff, I'm starting to think I'm watching Dave Sparks Channel.
My son and I tried rebaling 2 round bales January 28th. We unrolled by hand and it was miserably dusty. We always estimated 20-22 square bales per round. We got 21, 55 # bales per round bale, which is nice to know. I just purchased a 575 and wanted to try it out. Worked pretty good. Looks like that unroller is feeding a lot of hay, maybe that’s why the bolts are shearing.
You made my knees very sore watching you getting in and out of cabs.. Won't be long you'll have so many people wanting you to rebale, it will be a full time job. LOL
I don’t want to be nosy but I wonder what people are getting $ to rebale. Wonder if it’s worth the trouble. But then again it’s something to keep you busy in the winter time
We been at it for 5 years and nobody is beatin down or door....... besides keeping 6 big box stores supplied with OUR hay demands most of our efforts....
There was an amazing amount of dust off some of them round hay bale's Dennis. it all looked stressful, I bet you were pleased to get finished. I think it's nice to sit high up rather than been in a skidsteer if there's plenty of room for the tractor to manoeuvre Still no snow for you Dennis ? Mike
When we first started rebaliing..... We considered a Hustler. but as fate would have a farmer who was buying hay from us wanted to get out..... He offered to sell us the whole kit and kabotal........The Simpson unroller tables, 5070 NH baler a Bale Bandit, trailers and the store Contracts...... That was 4 years ago....... We swapped out the NHbaler and Bandit this past June ..We now have 6 stores with 2 more new locations set to come on line this month......Presently we can load onto a 53ft staged trailer a 21 bale bundle. about every 7 minutes..

The first Incline Table has holes worn over the supports under the bottom....but stil going strong......... When we gonna see yours operate?????.
Easier to unroll straw or hay? Those cores are such a pain, sometimes we just throw them off to the side until the end. Shearing pins just takes so much time! We are trying to incorporate some kind of 'fluffing', I feel like that helps quite a bit. I would think those two drums would tear apart the hay a lot more before going into the bale pick up. We got the SL360X with the chains and let it fall onto a conveyor into our baler. Hopefully breaks it a part a little more than just feeding it directly into the baler. Great Video Dennis! That 360 camera sure does come in handy
Thanks! It really depends on the bales more than the material I’ve had good hay bales that feed like a dream and I’ve had some hay that is terrible and same with the straw. I had baled some straw a couple years ago and those bales feed like a dream then I got into some that someone else baled and when I would cut the net off the whole bottom of the bale would fall off the spear, those are a nightmare to feed, mostly pitchforking then.
I tried rebaling 3 winters ago.. that was all I needed to give it up.. I was buying hay to rebale and could never find hay put up well enough where it worked really well.. like you too many clumps = lots of shear pins.. after all was said and done just couldn't get it to pencil.. hopefully your math is better.. sold my unroller to someone who wanted to get into rebaling and I won't do it again..for the few i was making I'm better off planting more hay, baling it correctly from the beginning and using my winters/rainy days to prep for next season and make sure all my equipment is ready.. best of luck.. I'd help you bale hay in the field any day but if you say we're rebaling today, I'm going to call in sick
Goodness! Someone needs to tell South Carolina about square balers. It doesn't have to be a Krone BigPack right away, just something that gives neat little squares. :)
Being smack in the middle of S.C. The reason we round bale is for speed of harvest, transport storage accomidations, and end product conditions........This past year 6 people cut, tedded, raked, baled, hauled, stored close to 2500 4x5 rounds in 3 10 day rain free periods during hay season.....That is 50,000 small squares.....that would have to be handled..... more than once........
When you were looking at new tractors did you ever look at a Deutz? I’ve been looking at the 6140’s online for a couple weeks. Their prices are fantastic. The only thing I wonder about is how they hold up. I don’t see a lot of people talking about them. But i know they’re big overseas
@@DLHFarms I haven’t personally seen any where I’m at but I do have a dealer about an hour away. The guy trying to sell me one seems like he would get you whatever you needed. I just wonder why they’re so much cheaper than Deere, Massey, etc… Makes you wonder if they’re cheap parts. But I’ve also heard they’re very high quality. So who knows. He’s got a 2022 6130 powershift with a loader he’d sell for $110k. Awful tempting
Hope you have some free time to get some good food and see some of the sites when you go to Charleston. Beautiful city, but downtown is not very large vehicle friendly.
The guy that owned the hay that was running the unroller will be the one that takes the hay down there. My wife and I did go on our honeymoon there though I still remember Bubba Gump shrimp
What cams are you using to follow you in the tractor like that along with the bluetooth? I want to set something like that up in our barn when we are bringing in hay with the grapple.
I’m using an Insta360 x3 to capture 360 degree video then I use the insta 360 studio to keyframe the movement to follow the tractor or anything else I want to show. I use a DJI mic for sound and sync it during the editing.
That is a crazy way to spend a day…at least there were no ground hog holes or nasty hills. Might have gone better if Shannon was there drivin the baler and tellin another good story 🤣.
So is this hay is being sold for animal feed or cover after seeding . South Carolina is a right good ways to travel from your area for a sale . Is it because of drought conditions in there area to being wanting it from you area ?
Is the owner of the hay able to make any money on that hay after the input costs of baling it twice? I agree with your comment about bale it in the field.
@@DLHFarms Ok. I am relatively new to your channel. I was watching things out of order. I got confused between the 5700 S and the 5700 Global. Not realizing there were two tractors.

Dennis my uncle had extremely bad hay allergies back in the day now he gets a shot or shots for that and never has to wear a mask again and loves not having to wear a mask
Most of them don’t have tractors to handle round bales and never will. Someone with a horse or a goat or two can’t justify buying a tractor just to feed it with.
@@DLHFarms ok i run 4x6 rolls and i always guessed 25+. I've never rebaled rolls before, an unroller is about 20k plus you have alot of equipment running and working as well. Those rolls were raked with a v rake i assume, very dirty. I used 3 kuhn rotor rakes. Keeps hay cleaner as you well know.
Yeah I hate a v rake. One thing that’s happening here is the guy I’m baling for had me turn the bale pressure all the way down those squares only weigh aboit 35 to 40 pounds. The first roll we did when we first started this at my normal bale pressure we got about 15 bales. The squares were about 50 to 55 pounds
Glad to finally meet someone who hates a v rake as much as i do. They are cheap and just scubs the ground, most people doesn't know what dirty hay smells like. Not sure what you charged the guy for rebaleing, but you had severl $$$$ in it.

Why don’t you have the tractor outside so it’s not so dusty set up on the other side of the barn. Rebaleing sucks that’s for sure but without help it’s a necessary evil

What do you think of the hustler Rebalers,? Considering one for our farm.
If you like breaking shear pins in your baler there great.
So is this hay is being sold for animal feed or cover after seeding . South Carolina is a right good ways to travel from your area for a sale . Is it because of drought conditions in there area to being wanting it from you area ?
Animal feed. Not sure why but this guy has been selling hay down there for several years I think he gets about 14 a bale down there.
Are the pins shearing because it’s being fed to fast? I wished I lived closer I could give you a hand.
Usually it’s the core that will shear the pin or sometimes a big clump comes off. A lot of it has to do with the operator.
How many squares do you get out of those rounds?
20 to 22
Is the owner of the hay able to make any money on that hay after the input costs of baling it twice? I agree with your comment about bale it in the field.
Hell he bought that hay I think for 60 a bale. I think he said he’s getting 14 a square in Charleston SC.
