where did you get the mini hay baler??
Our round bales are 900 to 1000 lbs never saw a small round Bale like that 😮
Nice hobby. Not economically viable, though.
@@72marshflower15 Agree.....you're not going to get rich baling hay.
@@PineyGroveHomestead ~ just amazes me what people with money do to throw it away..
Your alias makes me think of Pine Grove, California, but surely you could be anywhere.
Least you’re having fun. Guess that’s what counts most.
Those gotta be the smallest rounds I ever seen lol
Didnt realize the bale should be bigger than the baler itself
@@XxTooMuchStupidxX theyre not
Easier to handle with a compact tractor.
That's what she said.
Im wondering why they would even make a round bale that small.
Those are the cutest little round bales I've ever seen!!
That what my girlfriend says about my p3nis
He wanted to make hayyyyyyyyyy I think you know the voice im talking about.... he likes cute
*THATS WHAT SHE SAID*
@@goldiegolderman1842 hey your comments was pretty much what I said
Not the bale😅😅😂😂
These are the most adorable bales I've ever seen.
Russia 🇷🇺 is merking yall
@@WhiteOwlOnFire_XXXWhat? 🤔
Why are you supporting a corrupt country that shelled its own citizens for 8 years bro?
This my favorite part of social media learning about other life and watching them try something new.
Listen brother, I know people who can’t even imagine doing this. You did all this on your first go. Didn’t destroy the machines, learned from mistakes and continued to do it in the most optimal way you can. Job well done.
theres a first time for everyone, and this guy had a hell of a first time lol
@@ViisualsHD u play csgo bro u aint ever driven a tractor
Lol what. Have you met a farmer? If it was hard they wouldn’t do it
@@bennetttomatoFarming ain't that easy dawg. Just bc it's hard doesn't mean people won't do it, there are times where the difficult stuff is the better option if not the only option a person will have to make a living.
To be fair, Kubota machines are resilient
Those are the cutest bales I’ve ever seen. I’d need one per cow
Per day
For a mini cow
It's actually a good size. Cows only eat 60% of a normal bale. They will not eat hay off the ground especially if they stepped on it. Goats on the other hand dont waste food. So if you have a bin these small bales are better because they are easy to handle and you can throw them im a bin and nothing gets wasted
Then they can’t stick there head in like the big bales and eat the warm hay in the center
Nothing worse then cold food on a cold day
Imagine if you had rabbits though? These bales are a dream for rabbit owners lol. I would happily be buying those bales from the neighbour down the road if I could
Bought 20 acres & immediately deforested it. Well done sir. Another nail in the coffin
Cleared it as in cleared 5/20 acres to farm. You gotta pay the bills
fair point@@RatKingTerry
You say on a smartphone or computer that took thousands of gallons of water and gasoline to make. With resources mined by hand in impoverished communities. 😂
@@Cyndaqueernot to mention mined with child slaves and assembled from slaves who are confined to a factory forced to assemble the smartphone.
@@Cyndaqueerdeforestation is worse tbh
After a couple hours???????? I'd say you're gonna be just fine!!!! Most couldn't figure that out near that quickly! Great job my friend!!!!!!!
I worked at kubota for a few years. Never seen a baler that small. Very cool you can get it done with the 3901.
That’s not a kubota baler
@shaedynmaley19 I know, just not seen one that small before. Not that a 40 hp tractor can pull
Pro tip from an old farmer. If you are raising cattle or other livestock, rotate them on and off of this pasture and then let them naturally fertilize and mash the soil. If not, find a neighbor farmer (or two) with some cows, goats or other livestock. Do not get into the habit of buying fertilizer and trucking in and spreading it. It will actually lower your yield and the quality of your grasses.
He’s sounds professional enough to me.
this his helpful for people in the comments@@robjeanneret2966
Good tip! Makes sense. Chemical fertilizers increase salts, which can cause nutrient lock out asa well as damage the soil microbe populations that breakdown the nutrients plant roots thrive on.
Manure increases microbes, nutrient levels and soil aeration.
For anyone interested in the science behind this, checkout the book Teaming The Microbes.
Goats are also a good weed eater
Pro tip indeed. To add something, its a plus to have a good relationship with your neighbours out in the farmland (or anywhere) as they are more likely to accept such deals and or offer them.
Dont have a tractor but the bro next door does, deals can be made. 🙃
This guy for sure knows his stuff and gives solid advice.
There's a steep learning curve for all equipment. It looks like you figured it out. I wish they would have hade these small balers when I still had my small property. I'm glad the technology is getting better for the small farmers.
Thanks for clearing that forest to grow such a vital crop.
We don't need your thanks to do what we want with OUR land. "Murica. Freedom!!

"I want to live in nature"
Cuts nature down and grows hay.
Fr
Some people need hay… and cutting grass is just fine lol
it's real life farming simulator
If they don't do that, they'll be living in the wild 😜
@@vulpritproozeno it’s real life farming
As a child, I would ride on the rake and push the pedal at the roe to release the hay. Uncle had a hey bailer that rolled out six foot around bails.
You're living the dream brother, I hope you guys live a long and happy life
I've never seen those baby hay bales before that's cool.
Bought a forest and cut it down to grow hay. Cool story guy
yes
Right ... thats the only thing I heard
"I bought a NATURAL HABITAT, then chopped it down (taking away from the already severely low acreage that's still habitable) and seeded non-native grass"
Why? Why would someone destroy nature?
Money.... it's always money that causes the environment to be destroyed.
Just to save a few pennies on hay, and it probably costs more after everything is calculated.
No person (with a soul) would think they're doing something positive, when they do such things...
I feel sorry for all the animals who now have nowhere to hide due to their land being mono-planted with low quality, short plants.
if you look at the way that "forrested" land is planted tight rows for growing pecker poles for harvest, that was re-prod replant forrest.
he just switched crops.
@@DES.REVER.DESIGNS this might have been a field already, they probably just brush hogged all the scrub trees that were overgrown to make it into usable land.
spoken like a young fool. Run along little dun dun
So you cut down what grows there best by natural selection just to grow grass as a hobby. BRILLIANT!
You are lucky to have such a generous, kind friend. Without them, you would’ve never been able to get started.
It was nice of them to let us borrow their equipment....we now have all our own equipment for this hay season.
That’s some really nice bales! Yeahhh,, you can’t overfill these little guys, but you sure picked it up quick! They make nice bales you can handle yourself & not need a tractor to move each bale. I’m up in Canada on irrigation land so we get 3 cuttings maximum. If we get an early frost, wellll. 😂. Gave away your first harvest I see. Big hearted people. Nice! You should make enough to pay the property taxes &some fuel. We have enough land in crop that we actually turn a profit. Our irrigation pivot is pressured with an electric pump to get the water to the right pressure& there’s an electric motor driven hydraulic pump to power the drive motors on the towers that keep the pivot moving around the field. We pull off a pipeline that if there’s not too many people pulling from has enough pressure on its own!! We are in a fortunate location. We will make a bit of $$$ to donate this year if the “big white combine” (hail) doesn’t hit us! Looking very good for 3 cuts of hay this year.
Thanks for sharing! Please stay safe, Eh!
This year was just practice....maybe next year we'll try and sell some. Thanks for watching!
Berta?
Tractor eggs!
@@PineyGroveHomesteadnobody that buys hay is going to buy small bales like that. Especially ranchers. Maybe some little weirdos like you that own goats, but for horses, cows, and so on that is not enough. Y’all are some goons I swear.
Wow arent you so special and morally superior to everyone. How many points did you recieve on your canadian social credit score for telling people you donate things?
Shrinkflation is even getting to the damn hay bales 😂
Stagflation?
@@johnjohnson9431wrong concept. Educate yourself
I don’t know what the weather was like, but 2 days is a while to lay out. Next time hit it with a fluffer/tiller the following morning and knock the dew off, should be ready to bale by mid afternoon. And if you catch yourself baling late in the evening (when dew comes in) stop, it can mold. You still want a hint of green tint in the blades before you roll. Let it sit out too long and dry too much, you’re loosing nutrients, bale to early, can mold and catch fire (yes happens more than you think) again, I’m offering advice from the sidelines so take it with a grain of salt, great work, beautiful grass! Keep it up. We will be doing our first cut in east alabama around late April early may, and last cut is usually around late September October, depending on heat. Should get 4 solid cuts a year.
20 acres of forested land, everyone’s dream right there! Now all you need is a well and cabin and I’d be in heaven!
It was a dream until they cleared the trees. Now it's a nightmare.
@@kevinm9246ikr why are people happy he CLEARED (MURDERED) the trees?? Leave the virgin forest unharmed, ??? Literal angry from me
“We bought 20 acres of forested land, cut it clear…” he says this so casually
It's his land he can do what he wants. And what is wrong with a grass field? I hope you buy all your groceries from farm stands because that grocery store you go to was Forrest at one time.
It's obviously cheaper to buy forested land and clear it than to buy farmlan.
@Jonhuntandfish i think he's saying that clearing 20 acres of forest is a shitload of work and the guy just kinda glossed over that.
@Jonhuntandfish if you want grass buy grass, your a special kind of stupid to buy 20 acres of trees then pay to have it cleared. but it appears your of the same mental capacity as this guys so im not surprised you needed this spelled out for you
"had it cleared"
Wow those compact bails are cool. I would bet there is a good demand for them for places that have a few head to care for.
This is awesome that you shared this. Not many people share experience, knowledge, and failure of getting into bail hay. Usually, you'll see hay videos with huge and expensive equipment rather than the personal budget. I heard that at some locations the local FSA office will rent certain farming equipment ( usual budget equipment )
Flying with the sickle bar!
Return the land
To who?
You know whats better than this? 20 acres of forest.
Why is that better?
Maybe you should buy 20 acres of open land and plant trees on it
@@Jonhuntandfish Weaponized stupidity in the form of psuedo snark on the internet. Impressive. Maybe he should have bought open land if that's what he wanted.

Very gratifying. Great job on your development of the field. I really enjoyed that. Thank you for posting. 🙏🏻
so you killed all the trees to grow grass? smh
cry harder😂
Looks like fun!
It was hot sweaty fun in Florida!
It is at first but after a while you’ll hate i know from experience
@@mattsimonson1374ive stacked, hauled, unstacked, moved, restacked and stored hay in Florida, there is absolutely nothing fun about it, i came here to say this, you beat me to it.
@@nickd3157all about attitude.
You have never done any farming. It is a hard job. Tell me it’s fun after 18 hour days. If you had to do this for a living day in and day out, I bet it wouldn’t be fun. I know I was raised on a farm.
I started mowing at age 13 with a small Ford tractor and side sickle. I loved it. Some was alfalfa, a lot was grass, and there was 40 acres of crested wheat. We used a dump rake at that time. I ran it some, but mostly it was a sister. Then we used a front mounted sweep and pitchforked into a couple old trucks we had. You just keep stacking it into the corners and the middle takes care of itself. Those loads got dumped close to the hayrack by the corrals. Then we'd stsck it into the hay racks. We did eventually get a side delivery rake, and much layer on swather. Oh for that simpler life again!
Congratulations and I wish you all the best!
Shame on you for cutting forest down😢
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@5joost do you use paper products in your life?
We make huge round bales and I love these little ones lol it’s like little weenies
That's what she said
Looks like it’s plopping our little grass turds lol
Whats the purpose of those small rounds? Large round makes sense and so do small and large square, but i have no idea what the purpose is for small rounds and the baler to make them. Does anybody know? A quick google gave zero answers.
Lightweight they can be marketed to elderly folk@@justlucky8254
The size of the bales typically refers to(as far as I know don't use hay much anymore) what/how much of an animal type you're feeding, for instance during the winter we had only a single horse and a donkey and we'd have loved these smaller bales for easier storage and transport to the feeder. Square bales perform about the same so I'm not entirely sure except that's the baler he has.@@justlucky8254
The red white and blue wrapping on the hay is the cherry on top for this video👌👌
It’s extremely satisfying to see others being able to experience making hay!!!
those are so small, it’s adorable
I've never seen a mini round baler. Pretty cool
I love the little round bales. I learned to cut with a sickle bar on our 135 Masey. Its way more satisfying than disc mowers.
A small round bale is about 15$ in my parts, so in 5 years, my man cleared a potential $1500!

Looks like honest work to me.🤠
Thats pretty neat! I’ve NEVER seen or hear of a mini round baler before
Its neat watching it fall in a wave behind the sickle bar. You can find a good basket rake pretty cheap at auction. Theyll make tighter and more narrow windrows that little baler may like better

Them some cute tiny hay bales🥰🥰
They look like the size of those wheatabix (hay bales is what I called them) we used to have for breakfast as a kid.
big breakfast!
Whoever designed that rake thing is a damn genius!
Right? Just drag it!
Trick for hay is to know when it's just dry enough to bale. My grandpa was the expert in the 50s.😊
what a waste money
no
If u dont want food
Those bales are so cute!
I love how that little machine just poops out a tiny bale of hay, looks fun.
I bet homeowners love those red white and blue bale wraps 👍👍
I like the way the bales pop out lol
Those are the cutest little hay bales ever. 😂
I cut 1200 full size round bales this year... Mostly bye myself.... Good job on your first cut
Many years ago I worked at a Datsun dealership that sold Kabota tractors.. They were shipped to us in boxes and we had to completely assemble them. If you were good and fast we could do one in 6 hours.. they had a 2 cylinder and a 3 cylinder models. Solid dependable machines. Very few repairs never had engine or transmission issues. Actually fun to assemble. Great days and paid 8 hours of commition pay for 5 to 6 hours work. Miss those days 😊
Guys guys! We bought a biodiverse forest with a tone of ecological and societal value and we cut it all down to make the most basic of feed crop! We did it guys!
Planted pine is a biodiverse forest?
@@jordanbell3469 first generation reforested land is still more biodiverse than hay. We both know that. Don’t play games with me boy.
Right, it could be more diverse in terms of tree species but it at the very least has more than a single plant species growing.
A lot of dedication and work but the pay out is formidable and satisfying knowing your land is taking care of you and you taking care of the land (:
Those are probably the most adorable round bales I’ve ever seen
Proud of you
I agree a sickle mower is satifying. But only when it works. They are prone to getting damaged and a fair amount of work to repair. Animals spread things into the field, rake tines break off, fencing breaks or sag and gets caught, etc and end up wrecking the sickle teeth.
I switched to a drum mower last year and the peace of mind knowing it will work even if you hit a rock or wire is really nice. It cuts closer to the ground and you get more crop too. The noise, and higher fuel consumption is not so nice. You also need more HP to maintain the same speed.
drums are nice!
Ye we have a butterfly mowers with a front mower and that is perfect no trouble or any sort of problems with it.Agreed
So you move to 20 Acers of woods an clear it I guess to look like the city? Wtf
no
Seriously what's the point? Move to the country to turn it into a suburb lol
@@Alex-mb8en this comment is nonsense
Well if I moved to 20 acres of woods you wouldn't see my house from any side. That's why it's called moving to the woods. So give us your reason to clear cut it? Us rednecks wonder about you city folk moving to the woods? Scared of bigfoot?
Could have bought a farm already set up for a fraction of what they spend there. As Granpa would say.....they've got more money than sense.
Damn, was anyone else amazed just watching the machines work? 😂 this was cool… I swear since I was a kid and even now as a old ass man of 46 I want to drive a combine just 1000 I mean 1 time 😜. Also who else wanted to hug those lil bales 😂
It's fun to run them!
@@PineyGroveHomestead I bet 😍
Whoa! I had no idea rounds could be made that small. That baler looks like the one our grandkids pull with their electric toy tractor. Pretty cute!
20 acres of trees cut down 👎🏾
Only 7 acres were cut down but they are our trees.
Should have said THAT then.
Instead you said "bought 20 acres... Had it cleared... Planted 5 acres".
We can only go by what you tell, right?@@PineyGroveHomestead
@@joaquinstabbington673 So there is magic number that tree huggers won't be triggered? The video is about baling hay and 3M non-triggered viewers are enjoying the heck out of it on YT and FB.
America used to originally be Savanah with trees scattered across. We've got an all-time high of trees planted because everybody thinks they're good. This comes at the expense of native grasses and wildlife. It doesn't really matter if he cuts down those trees because not much was living there anyways
@@legend00q People that make these type of comments are just ignorant! They love to tell others what to do. It's comical.

In other words, "We cleared forest, ruined habitat and destroyed natural drainage so we could plant hay.

Lmao, when city slickers see good honest work happening
Think of all the natural forests that re destroyed by large cities
Five years ago we spent more money then most people will ever see….
I doubt anyone watching this video came from a poorer background than us....
Nate from narrowway has talked about how he been broke most his life
Looks like good hay, time to throw it on a flatbed and sell off the excess that you don’t use. Central Kansas we’d be able to cut, swath, and bale once a summer, twice the following fall if we had enough rain the summer before
Who knew FS14 was so realistic 😂😂
Love the flag casing! ❤🇺🇲
Little tiny bails. Reminds me of tossing the old rectangles on my grandfathers small dairy farm.
After a few summers of hauling hay and manhandling 65-85 pound bales of hay, this is quite an improvement!

Sell wood and hay seems like a nice deal
You keep doing it year after year you have made more money
