I like it to. They are good tractors. We've ran a 3000, 4000, and two 5000s in the past. Got great service out of them. My son-n-law was lucky to find this one in great shape and a great price. Thanks so much for being here!!
The Ford looks like a really nice tractor. The JD is really pounding out some nice bricks! One thing we added to our JD baler which is nice is hydraulic bale tension. Makes for a consistent density bale throughout the day. The hydraulics are self contained to the baler - no remotes required. Even though we use a pan kicker, they are not as popular today with grapples and accumulators, but they are still a very effective way to pickup bales on the fly, but you can sometimes find used one pretty cheap - yet in very good shape. Best of luck!
I've been curious about the hydraulic tension system. The one thing I'm struggling with is keeping the bales a consistent tension, shape and length. I know the strokes per minute are less on the 328 that on the 348 and I'm wondering if I'm pushing the baler a little and getting too much hay in the throat at a time. It seems the thicker the hay the longer the bales. Any thoughts? Thanks for watching!!
@@stinsonfarms6724 First thing is to run the baler full out at 540 PTO rpm. Everything is better at that speed and you get the full effect of the flywheel on the plunger stroke. Deere recommends 3 inch flakes max. The 328 is a 80 stroke per minute baler and the 348 is 93, so while some difference, not a great deal. The last flake of hay determines the bale size when it trips the knotters, so if you are pounding out 5 or 6 inch flakes, the bale can vary by that much, so smaller flakes make a more consistent bale. I like to set my tension so it’s almost hard to get fingers with a leather glove under the strings. We use 9600/210 plastic twine with zero breakage, I’d think 9600/170 would be good for you. I would not run 130 twine. The old New Holland balers like your 311 liked to be fed on the plunger side of the bale chamber. Hay bunches up there and it would fill the bale chamber when the fingers pushes the hay into it. The John Deere is opposite. Feed it from the far side of the bale chamber and let the auger move it over to the plunger. If you notice, the auger rolls the hay up at the bale chamber, sometimes falling over in front of it. I believe this vertical height charge of hay makes for a full charge of hay pulled in by the packer fork and a more even flake of hay. You’re in a learning curve, so keep with it. That 328 is an excellent baler with many diaries back in the day making 20,000 squares year in/out. Good luck and ask any questions and I’ll tell you what I think I know...👍
@@HumbleHaymakers thanks! That make since. I've been running it like I've always ran a baler but with not the exact result. I'll try that and play with it a little. Thanks again.
Nice little Ford tractor. We will be praying for you. I was in the er Monday night 2 weeks ago. I got over heated and was severely dehydrated even though I had drunk over 100oz of liquid. They thought my kidneys shout down. It was medication and now they are trying to figure out why I am sweating real bad. Kidneys are fine now just trying different medication. Food for thought.
Thanks ! I think he got himself a real nice tractor. Thanks for the prayers! I'm better now. The medication I was taking for the tick bite caused me to burn real bad in the sun. It was more like an actual burn than a sun burn. I'll know to read the prescription label next time. Hope you get to feeling better soon and the new medication works. We're not as young as we used to be! Lol
Bummer about that tick bite! Those dang things seem to find a person. That Ford does a good job and the balers working great too. Take care and get cooled off👍
Thanks. Tick bite is all healed. Hay is what we do the most of during the summer. I need to be working on roads and doing some cleanup and fencing but mom isn't doing well right now and I've been with her. I'll get to it sometime. Thanks so much for watching! Means a lot!!
I enjoy them all my friend!! I know how the repetition can be, trying to figure out how to make it more interesting! Bring on the videos, we will be here my friend!! Man, I do like that tractor. Would love to find dad one like that in my budget range, but the hold value very WELL! Enjoyed seeing it on the deere baler! Have I mentioned btw I love that ford truck!!! Hope your burn goes in soon, that's very painful! I saw in a comment you were better from the tick, but be safe out there my friend!! Look fwd to more hay!!!
Justin was lucky to find this one. He ran across a man that had this one and a 5610 and was really needing to sell them. Got a real deal on it. It's proved to be a good tractor. I really enjoyed driving it. Hard to beat the old fords. Thank you for continuing to be here. Means a lot!!
@@stinsonfarms6724 Sounds like he did for sure!! They are hard to beat!! Always sir throughly enjoy it!! Your channel is growing alot, congrats!! The views are amazing that tells you we all love it😁
This is my first John Deere baler. I've ran New Holland in the past. I think it may be a newer version of the 336. They look the same to me. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
In this video I was baling hay for my son-n-law on a rented farm. This farm doesn't belong to me. It could use some cleaning up, you're right. Thanks for watching!!
Love the old fords.
I figured you'd like the 6610. Kind of wish it was mine. I really enjoyed driving it. Thanks for watching!!!
Love the ford...i wish they still made tractors
Me to. I've had 4 ford tractors through the years. Always had good luck with them. Thanks !!
Sorry to hear about your illness friend. Praying you heal soon and we’ll. Thank you for the ride along. Cute Grandkids you have 😃
All better now. It was rough being in the sun for a while! Thanks and thanks for watching!!
I like that Ford, looks in a great condition, we had two of them in the 90's, thanks for sharing and hope you recover quickly

Love those Ford tractors! More great looking hay. Looks very good sir. Great video and good camera views!
Thanks! I really like the ford tractor. They are hard to beat. Glad you enjoyed the video and I really appreciate the support!!
@@stinsonfarms6724 yessir I like them as well

Not hardly!! Lol

They find me for sure. The weather is much cooler now. Thanks so much for watching!!
I’ve got a 328 also, love it. For a small baler they’ll really eat the hay
I've been really happy with it so far. I was a little surprised at how well it will take hay. Thanks for watching!!
Y’all boys knocking out some bales
Got a good stretch of weather and took advantage of it. Been raining the last several days now. Thanks for stopping by!!
Awesome video as always. Will never get bored. Love seeing all type videos including baling. Sorry about the tick bite hope you get well real soon 🌞👍

We had a 336 baler, looks very similar to yours but I’m guessing yours is newer. Chewing up the hay and spitting out nice looking bales.

You need a bulldozer to clear some land
