Yanmar YMRB32 Mini Round Baler 

I agree. I grew up in an area with an Allis-Chalmers dealership, some farms had their fields covered with those little "Cigars".

Aint it funny how whats old is new again, just a modernized spin on it.

True but any old farmer I talked to hated those first round balers with a passion. lol

@@skdouglas75 my grandfather had 2 of them. My dad told me they were a pain in the butt to keep working properly. He said there were about a 100 grease points that I'm sure was an exaggeration but he said if you didn't keep up on them it would fly apart.

I was born in 93 and dad still used one up until about 12 years ago

You should go to the Historical or Steam pageants and show the kids how they work.

For two horses. Buy your hay....

It's useless it's better just to let the grass grow year round and use a mower with a chute /bag then feed it chopped grass

I’d buy a land for that price in my country 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ you guys are crazy for paying that much money on a fricking baler never mind a fricking tractor

@@bekabeka71 don't group me in that bunch....

@@bekabeka71 $15k for something that your kids will still be using long after you die isn't a bad investment

@@CamoCollie lol

I doubt you have $15k to spend on anything.....

Same here. I hated those 80 pounders that the AC spit out.

Would shed water better than a square bale, probably.

Oop, probably not what you were expecting when you paid that much money for it.

@@davidvogel6359 Yanmar did repair under warranty, the local dealer after having for 7 months got it fixed and asked if they could test bail, hell yes you can. 2 months go by and I called..... well it made the prettiest bails and then capooy. It blew up again. They decided not to test it this time. We will in a couple of weeks.

@@79xlch wow, not a good recommend if it keeps blowing up. We had a allis chalmers roto baler that ran for years. Ours was particular about the twine we used but it made thousands of bales. One time a big wad of hay went into the bale chamber just as the arm dropped to wrap it with twine. The tractor govenor opened up and the baler groaned but it made a bale that was twice the size of the regular bales. I didn't even try to pick it up just drug it into place on the wagon and it took up the room that two bales usually went into. When I fed it I just drug it out of the electric fence enclosure around the haystack. Never weighed it but it was two in one by size. If Yanmarr can do that then i would be interested, if not i would buy a roto baler. Your experience tells me it can't so no deal. When the dealer is afraid to test it that tells me all i need to know.

@@davidvogel6359 The little bailer was perfect for us, 10 acres for 3 horses. When it let me down I panicked and bought a new MF 1840 square bailer. Now what to do with the little one.

@@79xlch sounds like it needs to be returned to the dealership as a rotten lemon, not even good for lemonade.

Three weeks and no reply? There is your answer.

Going by how the internals look in this other video I would say you will be lucky if it lasts 3 years. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FkXCZNpfjt8.html

I believe that’s a rebranded IHI. They’re typically don’t last more than a year in the pine straw industry

@@Mtbambenothat video isn’t a yanmar

It's not an improvement. It's made so people with sub compact utility tractors can act like real farmers. Anybody putting up hay for real will buy real equipment. Anybody who only has a few acres or a few head of livestock is better off buying hay.

@@jpoppinga8417 But compact tractors can also use the square bailers! I guess from most of the responses here, people just like something new.

The 3-point lifts it off the ground for turns.

@@97TRAKIN So you don't bale the hay when you turn or on the head lands?

The company is Japanese owned, but has manufacturing facilities in the US.

Last line of the video: "There's also a complimentary disc mower that we use to cut our hay"

​@@willhorting5317 then how come all these baler's & other hay equipment being shipped from overseas?

Where are you from? We have a full set that just came in that are in the shipping crates

My thoughts exacty, or something similar.

Even if you got the yanmar baler and a Ford 8/9/2N... You'd save a lot of money.

look in the background.....

A regular square baler still requires a much larger tractor to operate. Which not everyone has or needs. This is aimed to customers who want to do their own hay that already own a subcompact or compact tractor. It's also for getting into small areas much bigger equipment won't touch. :)

A square baler is the way to go. RU-vid has plenty of videos of folks pulling full-sized, small-square balers behind subcompact tractors.

No

Why the fuck you wanna bale wet alfalfa?

You shouldn't be baling wet alfalfa. Baling hay that still has more than 20% moisture causes mold. Too much moisture in the bale also causes heat within the bale, which can cause combustion.

Baler is between $10k and $20k. Can get you an exact quote. We have in stock in Ohio currently

I've seen some recently (different brand) for less

You're exactly right.

Good luck hiring anyone these days. We are looking to get smaller equipment for our 10ac because contractors aren’t reliable on the PNW. Not enough contractors to cut everyone’s fields in the short periods of good weather we get for 1st cut. 2nd cut is easy tho as July/August has lots of dry periods. Plus they charge close to $150/hr now.

@@paybax An hourly rate for custom farming? Everyone around here is per acre or in the case of hay, per bale. Either way a good square baler would do you better then these novelty bales. How you going to handle and stack these bales. Allis Chalmers already tried small rounds. I'll give you a hint. It was a fail.

Wellington, OH

Awww man, do yal have any sister stores in Texas?

Small Farm innovations Caldwell Texas is a Dealer.

he said about 40 lbs

@@Wolfiecolada Thanks Brother

@@Wolfiecolada so its a go on a small farm, nine acres.

The baler can produce bales from 40 to 60 lbs.

@@Ukrainaperemoga á

it's called a husband although they're expensive to run with the current prices of steak and beer 😉

@linda Wilson at only 40-60lbs, the "thing" to pick them up, is called a human.

@@Hassle68 the best comment

You can always roll them in your bucket or small dump trailer. Look for a round bail forks

Yes, people make things called children that can go pick them up and stack them. All those kids that want animals, and all the 4H project stuff, get them out there and put them to work tending to the food that feeds those toy animals they have. Many probably have no idea how any of that stuff is done, the parents pay all the feed bills for those animals the kids want, and the kids have no clue where all that feed comes from...I think it should be full circle...kids have to plant and grow the food just as they do the animals they want....would make a great process for them to learn...far more educational than sitting at a desk in school...lots to be learned out there on the farm/ranch.

I called my local Yanmar dealership. Total cost was around 25k. Rake was $4700, cutter $7000 and bailer was $14000. The dealer mentioned to me that they have 1500-2000 discount if you buy all three. The question I have is. Is there a Quick Hitch set for these pieces of equipment.

you can buy a lot of hay and compost for 25k, and import nutrients onto your soil...

@@dinglesdingler1211 I called a guy for round bales. 125 for a big one. That is for the acre garden. What about my animals that I want to have for next year? Chickens need something to lay eggs in. What if you want to sell? The guy who I am buying the hay rounds said he has hay from 2-3 yrs ago. What does that tell you. He even told me when I mentioned this. You might have something there. You could sell your hay bales because they are small enough like a square. So the investment, tax write off and money making. I could see paying this off in 5 years

@@American_Heathen Kinda of what I figured. It's a toy for wanna be land Barrons with too much money. For the cost of the equipment, hire it done. If your hay field is too small for the custom guys to mess with it's because they know it's not profitable.

@@jpoppinga8417 That's exactly what these things are. They're toys for those who have too much money and no brains. The amount of money you have tied up in just the equipment alone, not including the tractor is completely insane. $14k+ for the baler, you might as well buy a real baler and get on with it because those off-the wall no-name pieces of equipment aren't going to have any parts support when you need it 5+ years down the road, the company is out of business or onto different stuff completely. Yanmar exists, but for how long are they going to keep supporting this stuff that they don't sell enough of every year to justify parts inventory.

Except small round balers have already been tried

I would not feel comfortable unless I had two of them. If it breaks, you could lose your entire cutting.

Those are reliably unreliable.

Yep. That guy in the background left one maybe two windrows of hay just so they could play with this little baler.

Yeah, you have great class Tim.

"this is new and I'm an idiot so I'm going to insult it"

@@uncouthboy8028 you are certainly free to have that opinion of me. However, you would be incorrect on everything except for this being a relatively new item. Granted, I am definitely not a genius. But I am not an idiot either.😁 Beyond that, I am a retired farmer. And my parents were also farmers. I have been around haying and hay equipment for six decades. Yes, my previous comment was derogatory. But no self-respective actual farmer would waste hard earned money on those tiny balers.....Yes, I am aware that these balers are designed to be used on slopes where a large tractor and normal baler can't/shouldn't be used (for safety). Other than that, my original comment was honest. In most situations (where slopes are not an issue), these tiny balers (and tiny tractors) would be used by those who only own a few acres... and/or only own 1 to 10 head of livestock or horses..... But Mr. "Uncouth Boy", you just keep on believing what you want. It won't bother me at all.😁

@@willhorting5317 as a multi generation farmer you will appreciate how expensive land has gotten and how the good land doesn't go on market very often. Thus, people are looking to put land into production that would otherwise be fallow. I'm not a city person by any stretch and I'm looking at these for being able to make hay from paddocks. People use all sorts of equipment for all sorts of reasons. A fool runs his mouth.

@@uncouthboy8028 fine. Since you firstly called me an idiot, then secondly called me a fool, this "fool" will type one final comment. Yes, the cost of land is up. On that, I will not disagree. But where I live, in rural Kansas, agricultural properties (either crop or pasture) of 80 or more acres come up for sale often enough. Obviously I have no idea where you live. So I cannot guess what it's like where you live. But considering that you used the term "paddock", I will assume that you are not from Kansas. At least not originally. If I am correct in that assumption, that would possibly explain our different opinions on the use of these tiny machines. Good night.

@@willhorting5317 brother you started the insults, as I do not believe the mockery was made with kindness. I live in an area that can grow great hay but the tracts that are sold are either in the dozens or the hundreds. Looking at these small machines my biggest concern is the speed of operation. It all looks very slow. That may have just been for the camera though. And regardless nobody sells this in my area, although I reckon they'll catch on. No sense in buying equipment you have to drive two hours to get it worked on.

Not everyone wants to farm with antiques

@@wellingtonimplement no it's called everybody's too fucking stupid to run one

Yep, hauled many of them. Definitely needed a hay hook or two.

I agree, and the time you sit there waiting for the baler to wrap/tie one bale is ridiculous....get a real baler and get on with it. $14k+ just for that toy baler is a joke.

@@jpoppinga8417 That's what most people do where I live, its a lot cheaper, and most people don't use the hay, they just hire someone to come deal with it for them and whoever they hire will take the hay as well for their use or for resale.

You could get a used New Holland square baler cheaper than this and accomplish the same thing.

What does a regular size hay baler cost?

@@blessed7fold $10-100k. You can find them used for less than $10k, new full size round balers are over $100k. Then factor in the tractor to run them. Soon you've got 1/2 a million dollars tied up in hay equipment LOL. But people that do that stuff are typically in the hay cutting and baling business, not a little mini farm...they're out cutting and baling several fields. My neighbor does custom baling, and he runs older equipment.
