Very cool pics of equipment you will get it going you and your Dad seems to me can fix just about anything Very good video taking the time to explain things keep them videos coming 👍 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I love those bale wagons. I sat on the fender with my grandpa while he drove. Its mesmerizing watching if you can just look back and watch. And its a pretty cool engineering marvel to think this is done without any electronics.
Wish I would have had this 60 years ago? Sure got tired of sweating and etching? Both loading and unloading but sure you know all about that. Lol, thanks you sir, another great video and can’t wait to see you fine tuned machine next time. ❤
I'm sure you will make something good most probably awesome out of it great work excellent video from your biggest fans in Australia my son Blake was the happiest boy alive when you gave him a shout out while you were cutting your wheat thankyou very much
wow the bailer and the stacker are so neat! the bailer looks like a hand pushing the straw into the bailer, once full ejects the tied bail.while the stacker, turns up, then drives it down until it is pared with a second and flips it into the next row of the stack. it is neat how it flip's it up for the next stacked group to be placed. the belts that move the bail over might need some adjustment they might be slipping. or it might be odd shaped of the bail catching the sides. great video, thank you for showing off the great equipment you have repaired and rebuilt. have a great weekend!
wish we had one of those when i was a kid. i have no idea how many bales i picked up off the ground and threw up to some one on a trailer. by the way, all those days were spent walking behind a John Deere bailer much like the one ya'll were using. only difference is we did not have the part that turned the bails up on their side. this video brought back a lot of memories. all of them good.
We run 3 1010s the more you use them the better they work the tables can get so slick you cant stand on them, we have to paint the second table every few years, the moving hay wears the paint off
Put some clock springs on the last table hooks. This will ensure the tier stays in vertical position, especially if you load going downhill.. Put a hydraulic cylinder on the pickup chute to jiggle any bales that get stuck. Only needs to be 1-way.
go with faster ground speed. bouncing frees up stuck bales.. also, put a 1 way cylinder on the pickup chute. you can then 'shake' stuck bales loose when it happens, too.
Just a thought, maybe you've already thought of it, a little bit of wax on the table that the bales are moved across front. I'm sure after you guys get the kinks figured out and hopefully find a place to store it in doors, it will be a great tool to have around. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you soon.
Turn that angled solid rod in the middle of the chute towards the 1st table. It will deflect the bales so they fall on the 1st table. Solves a whole lot of feeding issues. It has a set screw and probable loosened up.
I feel like I have loaded a million bales with an old fashioned elevator that picked up the bales an merely delivered it to the truck or wagon bed so they could be stacked by hand. I started as a 6 or 7 year old straightening the alignment of the bales in the field and then driving the truck. They adjusted the carburetor so the truck would run at about the right speed. Wired a huge block of wood to the clutch pedal to I could put it in gear and then just drive for the bales. When I was strong enough, I became a stacker on the truck bed.
We just got done baling 1550 straw bales. We use a Norden (used to be called Kuhns) accumulator and grapples. Love that system! We do about 10-12k of hay with it and never touch one bale!
We have a 1033. Straw is more challenging but it will handle it fine once you get it slicked up and adjusted. It makes a big mess, but put hydraulic oil in a pump sprayer, and coat every pivot and linkage under it. Slicks everything up and saves a lot of headaches. Also, dont turn with the pickup down. Lift it for every turn to keep it feom binding.
i like bying old equipment and tractors and making something out of them and selling them when i find a deal i bought my kubota tractor and fixing it up to use on my side job work
Hell better than hand loading, even if she is still a bit rough.. need a good few bails to go through just to polish it up so shes all slippery.. keep at it, thanks for enjoyable content.. D
Quite a machine. Having grown up helping Dad make hay, it looks overly complex to me. Just seems that a bale thrower and wagons would be much more efficient (and less prone) to mechanical issues.
Those bale wagons have kind of short tines on the cross chain on the first table. You can weld some new spikes to the top to extend them a little, then it will bring the first bale all the way over and not double stack like what hapened a few times in the video. They are cool machines and can be extremely frustrating to figure out
Use to borrow and work on one of those from another farmer. You have nice flat ground. We tried using on hill ground. Works good with the pickup up the hill. not so good the other way.
If you can find my video on our 1002, you'll see my brother walking beside the balewagon giving the bales a push on the first table. Not sure why they're so much more finicky than the bigger machines, but it is what it is.
Adjust your forward speed so you get the same number of plunger strokes per bail. Bail length is critical. Do you turn a tie bail on the 5th row for stacking? Straw bails are springey and often require additional push from the table to set the tynes for the last layer not so for hay.
Your bales need to be in 45" range and need to be square and no tails baler needs plunger knife Sharpened . It takes time to figure out you need a tie level in the stack.
