In this video we went through the whole hay making process. We mowed, raked, and square baled. First cutting of 2024. Thanks For Watching! Like and Subscribe!
Ive found that my old international 37 baler likes a slower rpm & shorter bales and like someone said they don’t like picking up hay while turning, it makes inconsistent bales, what I mean by inconsistent is short one minute then long the next!! About 1400 rpm’s & second gear low with my Ford 3000 is where my 37 likes to run & does a great job!!
Nice video! And wow, I'm envious that you can skip tedding and double up windrows on day two - unheard of in these parts (New England). Any idea what % moisture you baled at? Anyhow, thanks for posting!
Thank you! The hay was dry to the touch! I’m not sure on the moisture %. The sun baked it after we cut, and the wind was blowing around 20 mph the next day so I’m sure it speeds up the process!
Just a tip with those old square balers stop at the turns and rows, let the baler straighten all the way up before going down the next windrow thats why it was missing bales.
