All the equipment needed to make hay on a small farm 

Making hay was my motivation to go to college. Tractor was a VAC Case widefront for mowing raking and baling. Myself my mother and sisters took care of this chore. They do make hay making equipment for small subcompact tractors if you are so inclined. For $10K or thereabouts you can but a mower, tedder, rake and small round baler. Though the bales will not stack like small squares.

Great job showing and telling, learning how of what I need I am ,thanks again for showing telling and will see ya next time see ya bye.

Great video. Always learn from them.

To prevent swaying when going down the road....... try adjusting the " tow in " slightly inward. That way both tires in the front pull against each other.

Nice operation. That haybine is clean!

Thx 4 sharing! U got real lucky on that haybine, dealer gave it away.

Just found your channel. I have been watching your videos and find them informative. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing!

great video and very helpful!

You need to remove the hay from your baler. Each time you bale. Thanks Glenn

Impressive buy on your haybine !!! Had the same haybine for years ( 15) I bought it ......and it still had the shims between the rolls ! 1/4 inch of shims. That means I was cutting hay with sickle mower ! No crimping action ! They put shims in at the factory. They were meant for oats. Check for the shims on each end of the rolls. Take all shims out ! They say it will damage the rolls if they touch. Not true. Mines been touching for 15 years......and no damage ! Also....I see on the wabble arm end ......the rear springs are not tightened ? In other words when you put the hay bine down it drops like a rock....no floatation ! Those spring must be tightened nearly as tight as you can get them . Total header weight should be what you can lift off the ground with one arm (maybe 25 pounds ) Its to protect the sickle from rocks etc. Also.... there are skids under the front of the header. Get rid of them ! If you have gophers........trap them ! Pick up the rocks !

Great video.

Also....... are you sure you have the spaces out from between the rolls ? If you can pull a sheet of paper out from between the rolls.....you have a problem !

How big is your operation? I’m looking at purchasing about 30 acres of hay with no equipment. Would this combination of equipment be a good line up for that size of a farm?

What size is your equipment shed? I’m looking to build something that can house my equipment and a few hundred bales. I’ve got a similar lineup to you with a 311 baler, a 472 haybine and 3930 ford.

WHAT SIZE IS YOUR FORD TRACTOR? WHAT LOADER IS ON IT?

Do you use the hay or sell it ?

What trackers do you use To pull all of your equipment
