Nice video. We've had the same incidents with bales chasing us down hills in the past, but we've learned that when we are baling on hills to back up and put the bale against the hill so it doesn't roll. Very well put together demo
Excellent work there sir... kuhn make great equipment. You treat demos with respect which is nice to see which will also help you get more demos 😁 reliability and after sales is always big players in the purchase of any machine.. stay safe 🏴
Brings back memories of baling with I 4240 and a John Deere 510 round baler back in the 80s and 90s !! We custom baled a lot of hay and ran a Vermeer before that but the Deere was easier to start a bale and just less problems then the Vermeer was back then
The Kuhn baler will make silage bales much better than the john deere. The European balers are just made heavier for silage while Deere and New Holland were just originally made for dry hay only then updated to do silage. That's just my experience with them and it not my money that will be spent. Good luck
Almost hit the 20K Mike, overhere in the netherlands the Kuhn brand stands for quality just saying, personily we dont make round only square bales, i wish you a lot of wisdom and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Hello from sweden 🇸🇪! We do roundbales of all the hay that not fit in the 3 silos we have on the farm. And we have plastic wraper on the baler so we can store all the bales outside😊
@@mikep7810 we did about 450 bales in 1 harvest . We do 2 harvest per year. I am waiting four your next video😇👍! Do you have a instagram that I can follow?
As long as you have a good dealer and can get parts for it the Kuhn looks like a nice baler. I still prefer the Case IH balers for parts availability etc. Mine is the older Case IH RS 451 with floatation tires, bale monitor, wrap, and kicker all for $8,500 used. The farmer that traded it went for a silage model. Round baling is the way to go. You should also consider a silage model as drying hay is not easy in NY.
Looks like a good baler Mike. I don't think you could go wrong with the Kuhn. Or Deere of New Holland for that matter. Get the one that makes you say "Dam that does a great job".
Really like the Kuhn equipment seems to be built really well we have a Kuhn rake and Tedder and like them both really well..always have kinda been interested in the Kuhn bailers but over here in Ohio the JD dealerships are Kuhn dealers as well and they like selling the Kuhn rake and other equipment but when it comes to the bailers the push the deer bailers they don't like to sell the Kuhn bailers and if u show any interest they always have some good b.s reason y they can't get them or something....wish I could of tried one but since Deere wouldn't get me one I bought a New Holland rb450 bailer and it is a really really good bailer 👍👍..
We don't have a round baler as you know. Not sure if we will ever get one but if we do, at least through you we feel we have an honest representation of the pros and cons of all the different makes and actually how to use one. Sonne Farms uses a John Deere round baler with a 3 bale accumulator. I don't know if all makes have one or not but I think that would be great for picking them up from the field. I look forward to which make you go with when the decision is made.
Hi Mike. Longtime follower love the videos. Kinda cool watching how the farm grows over the yrs , Equipment wise. Three thumbs up👍👍👍was that the 42 on the Kuhn baler?
Right now we are feeding them outside. The more we go to them and go away from squares I will more than likely put them in the hay mow and unroll them down the shoot
We are set trying them out. We made a decision and I'm going to make a video talking about the 4 different balers and why we went with the one we went with
Great video. Those bailers look like they make a good solid bale. How heavy you think they were? How did they stack up against the others you’ve tried out? Awesome job bud…
I know it's someone else's equipment but did you take the time to push the baler a bit. I see people running the new Kubota balers in road gear (almost). What's you think?
Instead of sitting there while baler is wrapping Y don't U just keep going and take the bale down by one of the other bales and drop it off next to it and save yourself some time picking up hay???
Beside drought I would not sell a bale less than hundred your looking at equipment over 125 k go figure not including land lime horse 🐎 people get ready
U stiil have to back up on every bale... u arent driving very fast for that size windrow. I would say its not worth the money! My 30 yr old new holland does better. I havent backed up in over 40yrs!
Well Ted I'm baling that fast for 2 main reasons #1 ground conditions. We just picked up this field and it was pretty rough and second is I'm flying a drone and baling. If you paid attention in the video I said if we go with this baler we would have the ramp put on it so indont have to back up. I've seen bales out of 30 year old new hollands and there is no way your baler is better than this one
@@mikep7810 my baler is paid off! Mine probably arent as dense so u might make a few less bales. The drone can fly itself. I still dont get the logic of a 40 yr old tractor with crappy seat and no suspenion. U could bale 2x as fast with a better tractor. Not to mention be way less exhausted at the end of the day. All i can afford is a 20yr old tractor but at least it has air ride seat and ifs radials. Rides fantatic vs the 4440 i grew up running.
@@crazyhass84 I'm glad your baler is paid off Ted. I'm glad you can go really fast with it across the field. If I put someone in my equipment and I saw they were bouncing across the field like I would have been in this rough field if I went faster then that would be the last time they ever worked for me. Beat the heck out of the equipment but at least you got the field done fast. Thanks for checking out the video and thanks for your comment man, good luck getting all your hay made. Have a great day
