Hauling & wrapping round bales for baleage on our upstate New York dairy farm. Wrapping bales with a McHale 991 LBER wrapper and a John Deere 3010. #farming #equipment #agriculture #newyork #hay
Even though it creates a lot of extra work more Hay is always better then not enough Hay! As always a great video and thanks for taking the time to post a video during the very busy hay season!! 👍😎
Very nice Mike. Kinda makes you feel good when a job is done for the time being. I say if you don’t have storage for dry hay wrapping is a great idea too. Be careful in this heat.
This balage is a neat thing especially in a year where getting hay to dry is a challenge. We experimenting with it. 102 round bales.... That's a bunch. Ha!, hopefully going forward you can leave the neighbors alone but never forgotten. You can only haul with what you have. That's how it goes. Once more it was nice to see the 3010 helping out too.
Hey keep up the good work Mike I enjoy the videos. I’m still in the old days using John Deere 420 , 530 and John Deere 301 Tractors but they keep on going and I love it
The squeaking loader seat made me laugh… every time I borrow my brother’s loader (Volvo model of yours) the seat is always squeaking and I fix it for him because eventually it makes you crazy! Nice bales you put up .
3010 did its job. I actually put the 4000 on the wrapper this year, runs it about the same as the 3020, but picks up the wrapper better with the added weight up front I thought, and the side console is a little more user friendly. I finally counted yesterday, wrapped 36 bales the other night. Not a record for either one of us 😂 but it was a lot of work
Not a bad idea, I don't have any black plastic though. I got a pallet of the plastic you see in the video. I'm just putting the baleage in one area and the wrapped dry hay in another area
So what do you do with the plastic after you unwrap it recycling ot trash is the wrap cheap and would it not be better to build barn to store it in just question i have
We are wrapping it for baleage. The plastic isn't just to keep the weather out of it but we bale the hay wetter and the plastic seals it up so the hay will ferment inside like silage in a silo. Even if we had a building to store all the hay in the bales would still need to be wrapped so they become baleage.
We use Flavor Seal which is a 1.0 mil. I demoed wrappers at the end of last season, this is the first year we really have wrapped everything. I really have only used this wrap. My neighbor sells it so I just get it from him. I have nothing to compare it to
Also, I have a Mchale 991be wrapper which is a tow behind version. You should try just letting it start on Its own at the normal wrapping speed. My machine is fully automatic and I rarely have issues with it ripping plastic at the beginning.
3010 for the win! My favorite tractor of yours, I believe. The canopy makes it cool. I’m not criticizing at all, but did those bales look a bit squishy when you grabbed them with the grabber?
@@mikep7810 I'll tell you one thing it's hot we are no heat wave if it's hot stay in the air conditioner if you're outside day in the house and stay cool all right
