Straw Square Baling 

Thanks for adding me..Great example of what a real farmer like ourselves experience.. Let our American rural farmer live on!!!!

All those years of my childhood stacking bales. When my Grandfather could have just gotten one of those... ooh well

I think I could watch the bales shoot into the wagon all day

Very interesting video. We started using the half ton bales about ten years ago. You can haul your hay/straw MUCH quicker that way! Also when we did have them, we used an accumulator on the bailer that would put them in eight packs, and we'd use the loader tractors to load and unload them. They quit loading them by hand and using the elevator since long before I was born. Fun to see it done that way again!

Never seen that bale flicker before...still learning something new every day,eh?

tough work you're donig. glad we use roundbales on our farm.

Hi there, nice video,although it reminded me to a lot of work,when I was younger and needed money for my tuition fees... My boss had this crazy idea,to weld two trailers together,in order to save time going back and forth to the barn.I was on the trailer and piled them up-every 3 sec one kept comming-I cant say,that it was my favorite job.... Great vid about people ,who are not afraid to really work! Until wednesday,they have done more,than city folks in a whole week! Thanks for posting!

wow ye have a great setup there and loads of help. Some lovely countryside and blue skies.

That has to be the most fun baler I've ever seen :3 You can see the arm packing the hay together, and I can't get enough of watching it launch the bales XD

Be stack square bails by hand. We ride 2 people on the trailer. Efficient and looks nice. Good job though. For the cows we usually do round bails, although the last harvest we sometimes do it this way! Keep up the hard work!

I really did not know there was a differences from hay and straw. I have worked on farms gowning up and just did hay. Thanks for sharing.

good set up ya got here mate. well done!

Really good video. It's nice to see farmers from other countrys, because in Germany are not many farms which have a little strawbaler.

thanks Ryan, it was cool. in norway we back hay like we do with "silo balls" / tractor egg

I use to unload the wagons of hay and straw on multiple farms in my neiborhood at a younger age;i used a hook to unload bales...very useful!;)

loved the mario sound effects!

Nice work, boys.

Nice video. we have done our baling already. Broke our record this year and stacked roundabour 200 per hour.

Spent many, many, many, days inside the hay barn stacking both straw and hay. We did not have a kicker on the baler for the first ten years or so I was working the farm,,, every single bale had to be picked up by hand,,, two of us on the ground and one in a wagon with just a tail gate. No conveyer either at the out lying barns between fields. Most years we did between 7 and 9K bales.

good hard honest work

That's a cool way to do it. The local farms here (Goldendale, WA) bale either the 900# square bales or the 100# rectangular bales. The baler just drops the small bales then they use a harrow bed to pick the up and stack them. They use a squeeze on a tractor to load the trailers to deliver either locally or down to the Oregon coast (Tillamook Cheese). Each harrow bed holds 4 ton. I buy about 7 ton of 100# bales a year to feed 2 horses.

Wow this is amazing!

I liked the music that played during the video.

I had a 336 baler like that. We always stacked hay bales on its edge as the bale remains tight in its strings that way. Stacking them flat causes them in the pile to loosen the strings. Also the mice don't chew the strings as much stacked on edge.

I have cousins in Clymer,NY a brother and sister and the usually put up 2000 bales in the barn in a day. They used to have dairy cows now they just raise replacement heifers.

never seen a tractor kick a field goal

we mainly make round bales of balege that we wrap up. looks like a giant sausage in a paddock. but the cattle love the stuff. easier storage than moving these conventional bales around.

Hi I just saw your video and is super interesting as the packing launches bales. I wonder if Johnn Deeare has additional equipment for launching the bales. And that please me clarify whether the mechanism additional to the packing pitcher, has not given major problems in the field since The more I simple the things are less complicated. I ask here because the labor force is much cheaper than in the United States. I have my farm in the Dominican Republic.

Thats pretty awesome. My dad is a STRAWBERRY farmer.

Wow that bale slinger is incredible! How heavy are one of those bales?

this is cool i never knew how that worked thank you :)

If I was close, I'd buy some for insulation(garlic, Wisconsin Peaches, etc. Do you use the old biodegradable twine? I hate that plastic stuff

No always true our Dairy cows are bedded on wheat and oat straw and they will eat it, we also sometimes feed straw along with silage for extra fibre.

Hello I like me very much your channel regards from españa to the whole personnel of the farm

haha You're right, our cattle are picky XD I've seen calves eat straw in my experiences but our cattle eat around it every time.

well done videos

a job well done ...

GOOD JOB

Haha, keep laughing at 4:08 when the guy jumps on the bale, we do that sometimes out here, but I've never seen anyone body slam a small square bale!! ;)

Hello. You are right, I like your videos! How is the weather in southwestern WI now? is the droguht affecting you? The corn field looks alive, but poor. Sorry for that. We are worried about soy and corn prices...

Nice! First thing I thought of while watching the video was pancakes, the machine flips the straw like pancakes! haha

good video bro ... good job

got alot memories stacking those idiot cubes

Another hot dirty job that has to be done. Nice to see how you guys do it. You guys have some very nice looking equipment too. Looking forward to seeing more good videos like this soon.

Never seen that. Cool.

great video do some of your bales burst when they are thrown into the trailer

You got it easy on the stacking side your baler kicks it into the wagon we stood on ours an hand stacked .

nice video of that :) and farming is great thing to do that's for sure :)

My uncle use to have that type of kicker baker now it's just sitting in the shed with covered bird shit and old hay in it hasn't been used for almost 8 years since he last used it

I make the larger square bales, but I prefer the smaller bales as they are easier to sell!!

interesting..i wish i can work here..

Do u still have your small square baler

it would be easyer if we got that kind of square bailer :/ we fork that up on a wagon, how many kilos are those bales? (im not so good at english:/) greetz from belgium!

very neat 4230 jd we have a 4430

Travis you married one hell of a lady I was just watching her unload square bales from one of your brothers videos

Thanks for the video and all your hard work. That was fascinating! (I liked the bit with Mario music. lol) Please tell an ol' city girl - what do you do with the straw (if the animals won't eat it) after it's been saved and stacked in the barn?

I've never seen a baler do that

is that a 6430 at 1:43 ?

woh thats cool

have you studied at Ag College or just learnt as you grew up?

I wear glasses when I am bailing because I have to pull the bails off the bailer

nice videos,ill sub

Alot of annual labor is involved here I see

What are the sizes and the weight of the square bale?

at least sheep and pigs eat hay chikens aswell (cheap food) by the way have u tried mixing the hay whidt water Cheese leftover's known as (whey or squint I cant remember what the exact word was) in Norway we use (whey or squint) to soak hay so that pigs sheep chikens and deari cattle and meat cattle eat it ( just need to remember too grind it upp first) (unsure about animals in the U.S. will eat it tho)

ooh, any problem for this video ? 2:21 who is she? only for curiosity 4:11 ahaha super mario 4:20 ahaha

have u ever over shot the bales?

Nice Mario refrence

i have to do this alot no joke

Wouldn't this cause some square hay bales to break open? Whenever I throw one of our hayloft it becomes bent in a U shape.

AESOME

7 series baler

the combine

sweet!!!(:

1:35 very bad lift arms for that john deere small and light. i wouldnt be able to keep them on a big tractor like that i can bearly stick them on our 8550 and thats only 80 hp

Gotta ask-- WHY road a tractor (and wear rubber off those expensive tires) just to drag a hay wagon back to the barn?? That's a job for a pickup truck, I'd say... :) Nice job. Sure don't envy ya though being on the wagon or in that hay mow in that kind of heat. Dad and Grandpa paid for the 160 acre Shiner farm doing small square bales of hay to sell-- they sold a LOT of their hay to the auction barn to feed cattle between sales. A WHOLE lot of hot, dirty, dusty work, particularly in Texas where it's nearly 100 degrees (or more) every day from June til mid-September, and high humidity... Glad we do round bales now... Later! OL J R :)

Dairy cows are dumb and will eat many things. These videos are great. So much hard work is involved that you don't get paid for.

...um i dont get how my channels related?

epic

ah, you should do a video where there's your girlfriend to work, what do you say?

Shouldn't the guys be wearing facemasks because of the dust particles?
