Nice 124! I have a custom mounted thrower on mine, but the farmer I grew up working for had the original thrower on his, and it made that same whine that changed pitch when it throws a bale. Always a nostalgic sound for me. Thanks for posting!
Your very welcome! The baler and wagons were my grandpa's before my uncle inherited them. Let's just say I wasn't to sad to get to put my tractor on it and pull it for a bit.
Nice! I was looking at 300 and 400s as a second tractor but I ended up getting a Massey 165. I grew up around Masseys and decided to add a different shade of red to the barn.
The best way to learn how to rake, is to first operate a baler. really nice outfit. always admire a Massey 65. Here in Australia that baler is known as a 275.
I am very impressed with how this baler handled the thick windrows! If I am right that is a New Holland baler. I grew up on a farm with a New Holland Baler like that and a New Holland Haybine
Hello sir,, I spent 32 years army, now retired back on the family farm in witch I bought, doing exactly what you are with same equipment having a great time one side note , I have a 6 foot umbrella above me,, have a great day 😊
Thanks! I filled the ground shots with an older gopro that needed a plastic case on it to mount. The audio wasn't very good so I decided to cover it with music. Now if you'd like to hear it I got a new gopro this spring and the new mowing video has excellent audio and video.
@@thehobbyhayfarmer Same here. Middle of Wisconsin. Can't get rain for anything. Just goes around us. Lot of people around me think they won't even get a second crop.
Love your video! AAAAH brings me back to when i grew up on the farm, we had that same exact haybine, great piece of machinery! Todays mowers are just fast and easy, I personally like the New Holland Haybine and taking my time enjoying cutting hay and just enjoying nature!
First........check so the cranks turn freely....... check header weight adjustment. Around 40 pounds. Often the springs nearest the gear box would not carry the weight.....if the skid shoes were still installed. They alone might weigh around 30 pounds. Get rid of them ! Trap the gophers and pick up the rocks ! Last..... install a new sickle and guards after around 240 acres. Installing them takes time.......and adjustment on nearly every guard.......shim the guards from behind using tin strips or hack saw blades. Or..... might even need to use a pipe to bend the guard downward. Just because things are new dont mean they are perfect ! Every single guards when installed is different. Start on the ends....... then one or two guards in the middle. You can ruin new guards and sickle in just a few hours.
Too much weight on the header ! This machine should " float " not bounce across the field. Should be able to lift the header off the ground with one hand. 40 pounds .
Nice machine and video ! Just one question ? Most farmers never took the shims / spacers out between the hay bine rolls...... up to one quarter inch of spacers between the rolls. The were first shipped with the spacers in.... later shipped with the spacers bolted beside the roll housing. They were meant for cutting oats so the heads wouldnt be knocked off. Many farmers never knew this.....had the haybine cutting hay for years and never understood why the hay would not dry . Like cutting hay with a sickle mower all over again ! The last sale I went to there were 5 haybines there. All of them still had the spacers between the rolls ! Remove them and put full tension on the rolls......now the hay will dry !
Interested! I had never known that. When I bought it, the pervious owner had the rolls cranked down has far as they could go. I adjusted them some for my crop conditions.
@jerry lansbury it was actually ripping some of the stems in half. My guess is that to much pressure for a light crop. Either way I got it set now to where I get a nice crimp on it and I'm happy with my dry time. When we loosened the rolls up we latterly used a pipe wrench and a 6' pipe to break the adjuster free.
Writing from Australia, Love your video and love watching pasture/ crops being mowed. Had a Inter 696 tractor pulling a New Holland 469 Haybine , loved mowing oats. Sold the haybine 20 years ago, worst thing I ever did. Cannot beat Red Gear !
Cool video. You can’t go wrong with a 706. We have one with the 310 engine and a front end loader. We’ve haven’t had enough snow to clear with it but I feed round bales with it all the time and it works like a champ.
Nice video! When I was in my early 20's I worked on a farm I ran a 966 Hydro with a LuckNow snowblower clearing snow in the blizzard of "93 no cab either haha
Nice video! The IH 06 / 26 / 56 series used to be what I aspired to before I fell in with Masseys. Nice looking equipment combo, thanks for sharing it. How many acres do you do? Subscribed!
Just cruising you tube, and your video popped up......Being in the Hay Business also, Decided to give it a look see..... Thou What we grow is different the process is the same....
Great Video my friend! I miss the farm life myself as its been many years since I moved out on my own. I remember that ole New Holland Haybine tho, We used to have the same exact one on our farm and a New Holland Square Baler.
