Great idea man I like the simplicity of it. I've been wanting to do rebaling for a while now. Just curious on ur feed if u have any issues with how fast u feed it
How big is the round bale and how many small squares did you get out of 1 round bale ? Round bales don't go for much around here but small squares are easy to sell . The last I can remember small squares for horse hay was like $5 a bale
Looks like a great process for rebaling hay. What is in the funnel like chute that pushes hay toward the baler? Can you post a walk around video of the chute? Inside and outside of it while working?
Gravity. It falls through the funnel and onto the factory windrow pickup. If you are unfamiliar with the process.... 1) Pickup lifts material off of tne ground in direction of travel. 2) Pickup fingers stuff hay into a cross chute. In this case, the falling hay. 3) Timed fingers fall into the cross chute and drag hay into the bale chamber. 4) A packing hammer plunges into the bale chamber and attached shear cuts the hay square where it enters the bale chamber. 5) spring loaded dogs from top and bottom hold hay in place, hammer retracts. Springs or hydraulic pressure on the discharge chute determine how tight the bale is packed 6) A traveling wheel with a mechanical trip determines bale length and tie sequence. My New Holland drops bales on the ground. I don't have any experience with bale ejector.
Guessing about 20' or so. Later on we had some fun seeing if we could hit one of our slow feeders in the paddock...ua-cam.com/video/mFoncr_RXqA/v-deo.html
Cool but why not square bale it first from the field rather than spend more energy and fuel and time round baling it and then square baling the round bales? Doesn’t see the too efficient.
Hay was very short supply that year...small squares were ridiculously priced, so it was actually less expensive for us to buy rounds & large squares for re-baling into small squares.
We buy all of our hay and it was in short supply that year...small bales were outrageously priced as compared to round bales. Since they're not feasible to inside with stall feeders...we re-baled the rounds into small squares. Saved enough money to more than pay for the baler.
Neat. Depending on where you are, you may have more customers wanting small squares. Great way to get them what they want to buy.
I didn't know you could do that , AWESOME
Is this rebaler something you built I would love to see more of it
What size is your tractor? What new holland model is that? Sweet set up
That's kick ass, product don't go bad 👍👍👍👍

How did y’all make the bale roll like that? Put a straight rod on post hole diggers
I notice the videos stops before dealing with the core. That was the challenge when we rebaled.
I think it took longer to get the core off than it took to unwind the bale. We probably could have just fed the core as a small bale...
Looks like a better setup than most have. I'd kinda like a video of the treadmill and how you use it
Called a bale kicker, throws the bale into a wagon with high sides. Needs no people to fill the wagon.
@@donaldcampbell5277 he used a $10 treadmill to feed the hay into the pickup. That's what I'm talking about. Not the kicker
Excelent
Wow Just wow
Has anyone just for fun modified bale kickers like on the back of that baler to see how far they can get a bale to fly?
Not sure, but we were launching a bale a good 30' or more into a bale feeder...
I want to know how far those square bales are being shot

Apparently the cows were not getting a square meal!
I just feel sorry for the guy catching the bails flying out!
No one catches them, they land in a wagon with high sides.
Simplest method I have seen. Where did all the parts come from
Used a $10 treadmill from FB Marketplace...couple sheets of 1/4" to make the funnel. The bale unroller was a barn find.
Genius. A treadmill. Well done!
One way to make small squares
Did you build the chute?
Yes...mounted it to a treadmill.
How is a treadmill being used? I feel like it would get wrapped hay around it and jam
soo this is how farmers lose money Hmmmm

Thanks for the reply. That clears it up and makes sense.
А потом обратно в руллон!!!
Why.not do it right the first time
We buy all of our hay and it was in short supply that year...small bales were outrageously priced as compared to round bales. Since they're not feasible to inside with stall feeders...we re-baled the rounds into small squares. Saved enough money to more than pay for the baler.
Round baling is so much quicker and less labor intensive…when its not hay season, you can make squares all winter long
Why?
Easier to feed small squares inside vs. round bales.
So why not square bale them in the first place?
