Thanks for the video. Only thing is that you have it backwards about the moisture needed for a round versus small square. Larger and more denser bales must be baled at lower moisture.

What is the stuff blowing into the hay

🤔

Looks like y’all had fun and that’s what counts.

Great video, Great content. But poorly illustrated of what is going on.

Those dogs are living their best life riding in the front of the boat.

Hi l am new to your channel, so i don't know your reasoning for rebaling your hay we just bale in small squares from the start

Great Video! thanks for taking the time to thoroughly explain the process. It makes perfect sense to me as a round bale producer I can run that round bale process myself - very efficient - as I can round bale the equivalent of 2500 -3000 square bales with my round baler in 7-10hrs all by myself. That wouldn't be possible with a square baler in the field - 1500 squares with a full crew would be difficult! Then reprocess later into a product that the market wants - some round and some square - with again one person. Really appreciate the insights into this business!

It would seem that New Holland solved the problem of putting away small square bales when they invented the bale wagon. That machine picks up bales in the field and makes the stack for you with no need to touch the bales by hand. Thats the New Holland bale stacking wagon. Great machine

That’s got to be the best customer service I’ve ever seen. Especially on a hay delivery. Bravo sir!

Great video. Who built your barn?

We run Massy’s and love them they have the Perkins which is a very good motor and would you recommend the 5711D tractor I’m looking at them

Our delivery method depends on the number of bundles... Below 18...... Gooseneck trailer- 5045 tractor/bundle spear.... above 17 bundles 45 or 53 ft trailer/ drop& Hook 30days free use......

Nice job backing the semi in Brian and it’s good to see the great customer service you provide still exists in some places of the country. Enjoyed the video and hope y’all have a blessed week my friend.

Keep the mats! It will help the cows stand better. Be Safe

Bad deal getting handed wrong parts put u behind 8 ball but see got it back cutting

That’s stinks about the bearing but at least you got her going. Take care Brian and hope you both have a blessed day and week ahead my friend.

I played football my 1st two years in highschool, but had to work the last two years in highschool & left me yell it from the rooftops that working on Ranches bailing square bales in the fields would put most football players in the hospital. That is hard work and will test your mental state and makes men out of boys!!! I do have a couple of questions about your setup... Do you monitor moisture content & if so, how is it being adjusted? Secondly, do you or could you add additional nutrients during this process?

I didn't hear you say why you changed from round to sq. bales. Was it that necessary ?

Very cool. My last interaction with field baled hay was 50 years ago. Hard work! This operation is amazing and I would think, quite profitable.

Making a rounded meal bailes into a square meal bailes.

Why spoil good hay. Why if you want small square bales why use the round baler first waste of time and fuel

You will end up with hay chopped up like chaff , like as if it has been through a hammer mill

What’s coming out of the shoot that’s dropping stuff on the bail that’s being fed into the machine

You can double that price plus here in Canada.

I've only seen this for high value export hay. But they are not not using standard fluffy bales, they are doing high compression to fit 2-3 times as much in a 45ft shipping container. The moisture needs to be spot on because the compressed blocks don't breath at all, even before they are locked in a metal box for 2 months. I'm in WA, it is usually alfalfa to Japan, or at least they used to I'm not up on the current market.

Wonderful job Brian. I like how you stuck with it and got it done. Enjoyed the video my friend.

Ok everyone right after this video the 140 got a full service all fluids electrical components (points, plugs etc) and a good bath and wax. Also drained the fuel tank vacuumed out some trash that was blocking the fuel line causing it to starve for fuel. She’s tip top now. She even gets some new attachments soon in an upcoming video.

Love that little tractor. My dad your grandfather Strader, purchased it for our family tobacco farm in the 1960’s over 50 plus years she is still moving along. She needs a bath and some wax on the hood don’t you think?

I love watching them old tractors works.

Hello from Clover .. looking good man love the old Tractor

you need some rear cultivators to mark proper spacing when planting

She’s old Brian, you got to treat that 140 with some TLC 😂. For someone that’s not monetized, YT sure loves placing ads in the middle of your videos which I’m enjoying seeing you make again. Your second corn patch looks like mine but I ended up with a couple of hundred ears so I was happy. Hope y’all have a Happy 4th holiday weekend my friend.

Why rebale turns low cost round bale into higher dollar square 🤑🤑im sure your buying rounds cheap and hammering nickels into quarters.

Man Brian that’s a big shed. I need one like that . Lol

I'm curious, what's the reason for netwrap if you're rebaling to square? I buy netwrap but because it keeps the hay tighter, if you're just going from field to the barn and rebaling, wouldn't it be less wasteful to just string wrap your round bales? Heck if you get the natural fiber strings you don't even need to cut them, your auger/cutter that eats up the round bales ought to handle the strings.

Maintenance it seems is a monthly to do, regular maintenance likewise. Keep it going.

Love that 140 Brian, hope it stays in your family for years. Take care and have a blessed week my friend.

Good morning Brian and Mason, get that hay baled and in the barn.

More tree service equipment?

My brother picked up a square bale in the field once that had a live snake baled up in it. I guess this process would probably run off any rats mice or snakes that might be in the hay! 😂😂😂

I grew up near Spivey Corner, NC

how many square bales do you get out of a normal size round bale

I was curios, didn’t know this was a thing. Basically baling has come full circle.

More money than brains coupled with to much time on your hands.

thats why square bales cost too much bailing twice double fuel cost and handling plus round bale hay is not very good unless done properly looks like chaff is being blown in

That does not seem cost effective. Too much handling. In Calif, we square bail as we cut. Takes less barn space, too ...compared to round bales.

This is the Hart Beat of America!

I see no reason why a bail of hay that has been bailed a second time would be any better than the original bail. It does make sense though if you have nothing better to do with your time and money and you just need to justify all that money you spent on the bailing equipment.

Whats it worth in the US? I'm in Canada
