I told my pops their was something like this back in the day but hey kept saying why spend money on something fancy when I got free labor, it may not do the best job but you try. Lmao still can hear his voice to the day. Lol
@@wadebrewer7212 Back then? Yes! Looking back? No. But I did say to my wife the other night, "I wish I was 25 again." I had just stacked 200 square bales in my barn that afternoon. At 61, I felt it a few hours later. 😅😊
@SPCLPONY I hear ya....just did a small welding project just now where I had to kneel and squat...Im checked the balance of the day. Knees are trash these days and I'm not but 2/3rds your age. Sounds like you are doing just fine sir. 😆
@@alierrtrillo9368 you're probably one those people that talk shit about the youth of today being a bunch of pussies and afraid of work. Buckin hay gave me gas money when I was a kid, tought me the value of a dollar, to be on time and finish a job that I started not to mention got me in great shape for football. As a HS football coach now all I hear are parents complaining about how kids are soft can't make a decision on the fly or the coaches are being to hard on their baby. Point is that everyone wonders what's wrong with kids nowadays and that problem is we've taken work smarter not harder to the extreme and left generations of youngsters to be "programmers" not workers that understand the value a hard day's work.
I remember back in late 70's early 80's kids talking about playing a block stacking game on their Ataris video game, when I saw it for the first time, I invited them out to do it for real. They actually enjoyed it a couple times.
Wish they had these when I was growing up on the farm. It was hard enough loading, but then once that was done, it all had to be unloaded into the lofts😵 it was back breaking, itchy work. But wouldn't have change it for the world. Growing up in the country was awesome!!!
I agree with u. Obviously they dont realize how labour intensive hay baling is. I have never done it myself. But l have picked one up. Real cleaver Idea & a nice drive from the operator 👍👍
A farmer in Saskatchewan I worked for in the 90s made one of these and a special loader to boot. No handwork necessary. His was way quieter and faster. Sorry guys!
SWEET!!! I have hand loaded, unloaded and stacked thousands of square bales. When I started there was no such thing as round bales. At times we sold and delivered hay to other farms also. I would have given my eye teeth to have a set up like this! Sweet!!
Yowser Mr. Bowser ! 45 years ago I unloaded semi's like this by hand and bales then were a 100lbs plus. This reminds me of an 8-10 round bale processor where the large chains pull the bales forward to the processor. Excellent innovation. Dont tell my Dad !!
What's so easy about that? That looks really hard and have a specialized piece of equipment? All you need to do is put straps underneath the hay and then stake it to the ground and just drive the truck out from underneath it. That's how we unload 1,000 Christmas trees at a time.
If you cant do this as a farmer that has been farming for a few years then you are not much of a farmer this is way easier and quicker than using a loader of this is specialized equipment that is quite costly
Excellent. Farmers generally know how to used the up to date, efficient methods. Many were early users of computers, spreadsheets, etc. Back in high school in the fifties I say one of my classmates working on homework before a sociology class. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Bookkeeping," he said. I was on a "college prep" track but he wasn't. He was a farmer. I then realized that he was getting a more useful education.
You mean the lazy way. I remember being 15 years old me and a buddy just the two of us loaded and unloaded 5000 bales in a day by hand no automated trailers
Respect your hardwork. We had unloaded and attacked hay. But this is the smart way. Last month I bought a 1750lbs blast of alfalfa. There is no other way. Strapped the bale to my tractor. And he pulled the trailer dropping the bale to ground on top of a pallet. You can only handle smaller ~100lbs bales.
I've loaded hay on my rollback tow truck 3 things I learned: 1. those suckers are heavy! 2. Its a pain to load. 3. its an equal pain to unload. Even when I unstrapped the load and tilted the bed all the way up, the damn hay not roll off. I had to lift the bed footing a few inches off the ground and jerk the truck forward and back to get them off. Was not easy on the truck. I won't do that anymore unless they have a forklift to unload.
One of the most miserable tasks on the farm was stacking hay bales up in an old wooden barn on a hot summer day. The heat and the hay dust was terrible.
That’s is super cool, saves a lot of time, energy, severe amounts of sweat, bad backs, etc… Wished that was around when I was younger. We had a stacker out in the field finally to pickup hay and stack it. That was amazing. Now they need to come up with something that will load the semi trailers. That would be the ultimate with this. Loading, unloading, the easy and quick way.
Pretty good, depending if you're selling the bales to consumers. For big-eating cattle feeding, nothing beats the 1-ton bales unloaded by a squeeze-equipped frontend loader.
Think about all that weight at the very end of the trailer wanting to pull the front up. Even if it's attached to the tractor, gotta be careful about it.
finally respecting necessary labor. im sorry yours wasn't but thats really no excuse for being annoyed that your successors found a way to mate efficiency and worker health in positive ways ya grouchy old douche
