I operated same gear as a kid back in the 70's on our farm in NZ. Great to hear the familiar sound of the machinery and see the youth of today operating like I did back then.....Well done Fink parents raising your kids this way.
I ran a international 560 tractor with an international 47 baler with a bale thrower just like yours back in the 60s and 70s on my uncle's dairy farm. Thanks for the video, it brought back a lot of good memories
Nice video except for when the kids started kicking hey into the baler. I still remember as a kid on the farm. When a father of 9 kids went out to bail hay, and did the same thing. The next morning they found him in pieces in the Baler. I had to stop watching the video
Too close to the header and driveline for that young man. It makes me cringe. Safety first, especially for our kids. Teach them right, what they do as they get older can then be their decision. That boy has a long life of farming to go, and he's out there working hard. Im a firm believer in pushing safety 100% above everything else to my kids. Hopefully they make the right decisions as they get older.
Get that kid away from the baler!!!! He can get pulled in faster than you can shut it off. DANGER!!! Do you have any idea what he will look like after that thing is done processing him?!? Just make an extra lap and get the rest, you don't need to risk your baby for some hay.
I agree thats really bad. Whenever I have to do it, I always explain everybody that no hands/feets or anything should never get close to the feeder. I always use tools, so if something happens, then I lose the tool. And if I don't have any tools I will make windrows, takes more time but that way it's much safer.
Get or make yourself a good bale hook. The handle should fit in the palm of the hand, both sides, and the long hook should extend away with two fingers on each side. The movement of the hook is controlled by movement of the wrist. If someone tries to giv you one with flopping wooden handle, get rid of it, it is very dangerous,.
LOL- several reasons 1) at the time, the thrower wasn't working, and I didn't have time to fix before the hay was ready. 2) I like to stack by hand whenever possible because I can pack many more bales into a load. Also easier to unload. Keith-
There were multiple generations of IH balers, and several of those generations had different types of knotters that did indeed cause more trouble than others. Our baler is, I believe the last generation of balers produced under the IH name. This generation of balers had good knotters.

Ahh the memories, I miss that thrower working, old Dorothy running the bailer and shooting them right over the wagon.
Smooth operator. Good crew. And skilled driver. Thanks

Yes, that was a show stopper!
No shroud on the PTO shaft is mad. Do that on my farm and you will be out the door.
Always 1 crying

What kind of hay blend is this ??

Why don't you use the bale thrower?

Don't you have problems with the knotters in ih balers. I heard my grandpa say him and his dad had problems with them.

Hello 👋

Just wondering why you don't want hawks to land on the bales? Is it because they poke holes in the rap?
Exactly that. They like to dig their claws deep into that plastic!
@@KeithFinkFamilyFarm The dairy association doesn't allow round bails in my state anymore.
Biggetl why not?
@@maxinewoolston2296 Because the cows are not getting a good square meal! HAHAHA!
