Tractorspotter ploegen met oldtimer, fiat 1880dt met 4 schaar ploeg, in zuid-holland.

No, not at al. Mostly just farms or contracting companies i visit.

Ah dat ga ik onthouden! Prachtig zo'n Fiat en nog lekker dicht bij ook.

Tractorspotter woon je in zuid Holland wand dan kan je ook wel eens bij ons langs komen geen oldtimers maar wel mooie mfs 😉

ok, but seriously, that open-topped one looks amazingly awesome.

It really does, with that bale spike.

Bet it can do better tho

Ga zo door. Alvast gelukkig 2019 🎉

I thought the same. The startup cost must be quite high, but once you factor in the money you get back from the scrap metal wire being sent to a recycling plant, I would imagine it's less expensive than one would imagine. Especially in "the olden days" when a lot more farms did it this way, so it would probably make sense for local shops to specialise in recycling this kind of wire into new rolls, a closed loop system in essence. I'd imagine the wire in itself is still a lot more expensive than cords currently used, but there's something to be said about the value of keeping these machines running as well, of course.

At our farm we used to always press straw bales with the HP1600 and steel wires. In those days the bales could be pressed more tight with steel wires than with yarn/plastic fibre ropes, meaning less bales to store in the shed. A lot of straw was used in our farm on daily basis. The size of the bales is also different from the ones pressed with plastic fibre ropes and more convenient for us. Indeed the scrap metal trader was happy with the nice clean steels wires but we did not make a fortune with it :). I also can remember that a chopper could be mounted before intake to chop up the straw a bit before it was baled. Unfortunately the HP1600 broke down and was too expensive to repair.

these are restored, there are many who keep and restore old tractors as a hobby matching machines are more rare.

Nowadays yes, this baler is from the early '80's and build in the Netherlands. There are only few left that I know of.

Tractorspotter I'm happy to see something special. Today there are only used modern Balers, or sometimes older Versions of the late 90s. But I didn't know that Vicon has produced Balers since the 80s.

usually it is cheaper to do round bales (both in power requirement and purchasing price), but squares can work faster since they don't have to stop every bale, offer a higher density and are easier to stack for transport and storage

Dat ziet er zeker goed uit! Ik zet het in de agenda, bedankt voor de tip!

This video is made using a Panasonic GH5, but since a few weeks i use a Panasonic G9 instead.

Tractorspotter Ok thank you mate. Your videos are the best that I can see in the domain of agriculture. But can you tell me how they cut the metal cable around the bale to use it to feed the cattle? That's not so ecological. Can you watch my last video and tell me if it's good please. Continue in this way.
