It's Hay Baling Day! 

The big question - how long will 20 bales last you in the winter months? What does that math look like?

I watch a few channels about farming. You’re the first to put a camera in your baler. Very interesting and completely opposite of how I thought those make a bale.

Thanks for taking the time to give us a ride inside the bailer. Watching you drive the older tractors never gets old! 👍🏻

Pete you scared the daylights out of me when you put your camera inside the baler because all I could think of is I hope he doesn't lose his camera, but I have to say that was some awesome footage on the inner workings of the round baler. My dad used to tell me to drive like a drunk man when round baling to make a pretty bale! Love your videos!!! Keep them coming!

That was an awesome view with the camera inside the baler, also shows how good of shape your baler is in! Right on at 20!

Hey Pete, I’m 14 and I spent all day yesterday raking hay for my grandpa, love working in the fields, and when your done that great feeling of accomplishment. I rake with a Farmall B and I believe a new Holland 52 rake. I really like your videos, keep up the good work!

The view from inside the baler was great. It is the first time I have seen it from the inside do it’s job. Thanks for sharing your’s and Hillary’s joy of doing what the two of you love to do for a living.

Pete, I noticed that the squealing noise goes away as soon as you get hay in the baler. My guess is that one of the belts is just slightly longer than the others and that it is slipping on the drive roller until hay puts pressure on it. Nothing to worry about. I have been farming full time for 27 years and I think the camera shots inside the baler are one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

I’m impressed with how handy a former “city slicker” is with running old equipment! 😉

That squeaking sound of the baler is the sound of money my friend. When it kicks the bale out the back it should chime like a cash register.

My Brother in law is a Gehl. Related to the Gehls who bought that company many years ago. We live near West Bend here in Wisconsin. Gehl has kind of an interesting history but also sad. Going past that place in West Bend as a kid the place was huge. Now the old buildings are gone. But I think there's still a small presence.

Pete, this video is my son's favorite! He is three years old and if you ask him what do you want to watch he always says Pete make hay bale. Thanks for the great content that anyone can enjoy from three years of age to 65 and up.

Seeing inside the baler was amazing. Great idea. It's so fascinating. Ngl I thought the weaving at start was unintentional 😂

The camera view from inside the baler was incredible !

The whining sound looks like a belt rubbing until the hay gets started. Thanks for the interior view.

The baler is way too cool! Thanks for showing us! The hay is beautiful!

I already knew how round bales are made, but having the camera in there was so cool. What a great idea!

Best description of how a 5x5 baler works on the internet. Nice camera work.

How could anyone give this video a thumbs down? Pete works hard plus works hard on putting these great videos together! You thumbs down people don't belong here. Now run along.

In Cumbria, England they've been out grass cutting and picking up with forage harvesters; straight to silage. It was beautiful weather and I'm thinking, "Huh, they don't make hay here!" The day I left, the heavens opened. I guess those guys know what they're doing!

I liked the sound of the tractor idling at the end of the video

I helped make hay on my parent’s ranch every year from age 5 to 30. I miss that smell of cut grass and diesel smoke, watching the barn swallows dance through the sky as they catch insects, and the joy of seeing June Beetles on the field stubble.

I remember when we switched to big bales, my dad loved it, but I missed putting the small bales in the hay mow with the elevator.

Very cool camera shots. If this was a tv show with no drama, I'd watch it.. oh wait, I did watch it

I miss haying season on the farm I grew up on! I drove an old farmall like yours when I was young only we used loose hay at first until dad got an old baler! Square bales filling the hay mow! Memories of the farm!!!’ Oh that smell of fresh hay

I have a 1465. You can actually make those bales tighter by adjusting the TDC valve

a 4ft diameter, 4ft wide bale will be about 50.27 cubic feet, a 5ft diameter, 5ft wide bale is about 98.17 cubic feet, so the bigger of the two has 1.95x as much volume as the smaller one. Just how much hay is in each one will also be a function of how tightly it is wound, but the volume difference is almost double.

I don't see anything wrong. Those are good looking bales. Camera in the baler was a great idea! I have always wondered what it looks like when a bale is being made. Thank you!

If the camera had broken loose, and ended up in a bale, we would have had a "here's what it looks like inside a cow" video in ... a few months? Followed by a "here's what it looks like inside a manure pile" and finallly, "here's what it looks like inside a manure spreader". All stellar productions no doubt. I have a lot of faith in battery life, don't I?

Very satifying to see hay being put up for animal feed in the winter.

I didn't realize I was so spoiled running my grandpa's John Deere 535 in the late '90s. I guess that baler was pretty fancy - monitor with left/right size indicators, dual automated twine arms that kicked in when the bale was full size and the monitor beeped, a kicker so you didn't have to back up. My brother bought a newer Vemeer last year, I can't imaging the gadgets that thing must have! Also, I already knew how a round baler worked, but watching it from the inside was pretty cool. Good job!

Very Kool Pete....never had an inside look at a round baler!!

Love how you tell us rookies things that other people might already know 🤣.. I learn a lot from watching your videos 👍👍

Amazing shots inside the baler. Thats how you give the people what they want. Well done Pete !!!!!! 👏

Had a 656 tractor when I was a kid .best tractor we had .God bless you brother 👉👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

Really Pete, your camera work is improving all the time. That inside the bailer view was great!

I will sleep much better tonight knowing you got your hay bailed before the rain ! We made square bales for are dairy cattle in Iowa back in the 60's and 70's with a New Holland . Great bailer .

I have to say, one of the best videos on RU-vid. The amount of information he is giving AND the video editing. Great job and thank you!

So glad you are getting some hay and having good weather. It's a bummer having to buy hay for hungry cows

I started watching for the farming. Now I stay for the comedy. I enjoyed the video.

Safety Sam Approves of this video ! No limbs, fingers, or toes were harmed in the making of this video ! Pete has revolutionized the recording of making a bail from an obsolete great piece of machinery. Which was an amazing buy for $1,000! Score ! I’ve never seen a video from inside ! I might be new but still never seen one

That old baler does a nice job, very clean fields, not much wasted at all.

One of the most informative videos to us non-farmers. Very cool!

Thank you that was just wonderful! Especially when you put us in the baler! Was fabulous and now l know more than l knew before watching your video. Great job! I am sure others agree with my thoughts..🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾 Thank you.🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

This is just fantastic Pete! Really great camera angles. Inside the Baler was AWESOME! Really really good. 20 bales sounds pretty good to me.

Great shots from inside the bailer. That was real enlightening on how those round bailers work.

Wow I can almost smell that hay. What a great shot from inside the bailer. I always thought it involved a wizard, a monkey and a $10,000 machine. 😎

Excellent video. Your channel is the best!!

Peter Larsson , your produce my favourite farm videos and you are my favourite farmer.

We just our new property bailed for the first time, never thought I would be so excited about have big bails of hay stacked in a barn before! Maybe one day I'll be able to do it myself like you Pete!

5:37 Pete doing lines in the field rolling that grass. :-)

Wow! Another great video. I had no idea till you put us inside how the round bailer worked. Thanks!

The camera in bailing chamber is a great idea! 😀 And tractor sounds great! :D

That inside the baler view was very cool! Thanks for showing it!

This series has been really amazing to watch and learn. Love the drone shots as well.

Pete, thanks for explaining the lot of a small farmer. It says a lot about how farms are run a managed.I have always been interested in farming and some of the terms are beyond me, however you make them simple. Keeps up with the jokes....

That was cool putting us in that Baylor I farm for quite a few years as a farm hand that's the first time I seen a bale of hay made God bless you and your family see you later

Great way of teaching Y/T what your thinking,, self taught for sure.. You make a great teacher...

Yes awesome sight of those Bale's ...you're as fast or faster then it's supposed to be... great job Pete...

Thanks that demonstrated so well how the bailer works. I really enjoyed seeing and learning that, you are an excellent teacher.

This Chicago grandma enjoys watching something I know absolutely nothing about. I’m glad my folks got us out of the city but still lived in town all my life. I can see I missed out on a lot of hard work!

That bailer is pretty neat. This has got to be the best purchase you have made on the farm.

Loving the haying series Pete. Great job. Thanks for your hard work and video producing efforts

I’ve been watching your farming videos for years, but only now realized you have a 656 while researching a 1969 656D that I might purchase. Thanks for the great content!

Miss that smell, don't miss fussing with the small squares we always made.

Nice video! I can remember in the fifties riding the rack behind the old Oliver baler one would be 4 ft. long the next word be 5 ft. long and seemed to weight so much more. Looking through the comments love to read on how the young people who are interested in your videos.

Thanks for this video! The footage from inside the baler was excellent!

My dad's uncle (Gary Vermeer) invented the big round baler in about 1970. He was a farmer himself and invented it when another local farmer said he was getting out of the cattle business because it was too much work. Most of Uncle Gary's inventions were done to fill a need he saw like that.

Exceptionally Great Video!!! I have watched most of the hay videos on you tube at one time or the other, You by far just took the time to make one of the best Round baling videos i have ever seen! Thank You for taking the time to do that! I run old equipment myself and there is nothing like knowing how it works. Better yet nothing like knowing you can fix it if it breaks! Again Great Video..

Thanks for putting the camera in to get a shot of the round bale developing.

Thank you for showing how the magic happens. You got friends in Tennessee! Great production and educational

Farming is so fascinating! Love to watch your videos…….and love your jokes lol!

Thanks for the Demo Pete. That was Fun to watch. Cheers, Colin

It was great being inside the baler, that was a great idea thank you Pete. Linda's husband Dick.

The video inside the bailer was one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.

I've been guilty of grabbing the wrong lever and dumping the bale before tying it up :) Just had to hurry and get it unrolled and baled back up before Dad saw me :). The joys of an 846 New Holland baler... Thanks for sharing!

That's a fine start for the winter stores. Congrats.

It's good you showing how a bale is made. You have interesting and informative videos. I assume quite a few people also enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Glad I found this channel good stuff.

Love seeing the old equipment run. That squeal sounds like it's coming from one of those metal rollers in there. Squeals until it gets a little pressure on it. Might be out of alignment or needing a servicing. I'm not an expert though lol.

The squeaky seems to be just the belts slipping. Notice how when there’s hay inside and more pressure on the belts it clears up?

Awesome visual from inside the bailer. Thanks

I grew up on a farm in Benton Ontario Canada and it was a beef and pork farm my parents had .We owned a 44 Massey Harrison gas tractor and Massey Ferguson MF 65 diesel tractor with loader and a Ford N and I don’t know what number We did square bales .Massey Baler with a motor on the front and hand crank wheel to start the engine he had to start it by hand we had the exact same rake you have.we had 200 acre farm. Your videos are great good job. I enjoyed watching them this morning brought back great memories.

I never seen the inside of the baler when it wes working. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for the inside views of how the bales are made. For me, a non-farmer, that was very helpful and informative. I would really like to see a close-up, slo-mo view of how the knotters work.

It was fun to be inside the baler!

Nothing prettier in all of farming than the sun setting on a field of freshly baled hay. Thanks for sharing Pete!

The inside view was very informative. Thanks, Pete! Now, if you put one of those bales on your fence post, you'd be posting bale for a fence. :)

That was GREAT! Thanks for the peek inside of the Baler, I have been curious about that for years.

Rolled bails have it easy, I can remember being out and throwing square bails on the back of a truck in 90 degree heat, then having to put all those bails up in the loft of a barn

Think of the person that came up with the idea of round bales and to build the machine to do it and it actually works. Genius. Great video. Thanks

Holy Cow the inside view is incredible!

Hello sir my first time on your channel and I enjoy your humor and showing how the baler works. I have watched many round balers but never with a camera inside showing how the bale is made and thats pretty neat. That old baler must go back a long way ass I have seen many working on the internet. I grew up in Ontario Canada and lived with my grandparents. I worked on the farm every school summer holidays from about 8 years old till I was 15 so i go back a long way I am 80 now still love watching farming. Have subscribed to you.

Yay, fun inside the bailer! 11/10

Peter, I'm glad you're pleased with the amount of bales there are. I had no idea how many there would be. Now, freshen up, have a fine dinner with the family and relax, if you can.

No drinking and driving while bailing hay! LOL you just explain why you leave back-and-forth! 😂🤣😂

Ok, quick English lesson here, the machine is a baler, it makes hay bales. A bail is what you pay when you want to get out of jail- see what i did there? Maybe that will help keep the two synonyms straight! 😄 really enjoyed the view from inside, and you are a great teacher! Keep up the good work.

Thanks! A Lot! That was Awesome! I'm glad I got to see that without having to actually get in the bailer! :)

Another great video!!! That ride we got to take inside was awesome.

That was unbelievable!! Great video. You've become an expert at editing and filming. Your videos are so engaging due to the many different angles and comments throughout. I so love your videos. You old timers are the best...God Bless!!
