Reciently subscribed. We started out with a $65 auction sale 269 new holland. Was always fixing or adjusting on it. Then we lucked out and bought a 273 new holland that had baled less than a thousand bales. Cost $425 and its been great. Liked to video. 98 bales isnt such a large amount that its overwelming to haul it and stack in the barn. good luck to ya.
Good to see the old equipment working still. We had a similar MF baler when I was a kid. I have the ferguson 35 we used back then, that filled in baling hay when the bigger tractor was down, it's refurbished now and it plowed/fitted/planted/cultivated the corn field and garden this spring.
I’ve started running it at faster Rpms with the JD 55 but it still likes a slower ground speed.its a good baler. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.
Throw the outside round into the field and then go the opposite direction(double 1st round) then just follow the mower around the field. Just want to get it all turned over and laid on the dry between the mower passes. Rake out the corners at very end if ya want to but more you rake ya wont need to
Your drive chain on the three feeder forks is a little loose and run the baler at 540 rpm's. You aren't running it fast enough which adds more stress on the drive line.If you read an owner's manual you will see how to check chain tension is to be run.
Great stuff! Are you raising cows for hobby or as an income? Seems there are so many different types of equipment needed I don’t know how it’s possible to make a profit. How many cows per acre can the land sustain? I’m starting on perimeter fencing for future livestock but haven’t figured out the hay situation yet. Stockpiles? Bailing? Grazing? Etc. New sub!
Right now I have six breeding cows once they have their calves and are weaned and around 400 lbs I’ll sale them. The rule of thumb is usually one cow per acre of grass . I rotate my cows on different pastures but not every day, I feed hay too. you lose money when you have to keep buying feed. If you have a hay field or can secure a hay field it is worth getting equipment to make your own hay because you will pay yourself back in the years to come but buying hay is a lot less stressful. Hope this helps some . Thanks for watching commenting and subscribing I appreciate it.
When you rake go clockwise you'll end up rolling outside windrow in then take half without rake roll back out then go counter clockwise so you hay is always rolled out into a place that's already been raked your rows will look neater and your corner when turning slightly will always remain regular windrow width
