That's an amazing machine... VERY cool. Did it only do straw or hay as well? Last time we did small squares was back in about 79 IIRC... Grandpa and Dad paid for the Shiner farm (160 acres) doing up to 40,000 small squares a year... LOT of work back in the old days it was all by hand except for the old hay elevator to go into the barn with it, but all picked up off the field, stacked on the trailer, unstacked onto the elevator, then stacked in the barn BY HAND. They sold a LOT of their hay to the Hagen's cattle auction barn in nearby Hallettsville, TX and that basically saved the farm, because cotton farming on it was a bust LOL:) I was about 9-10 last time we handled small squares, but I remember it well... no fun at all, particularly in SE TX in 100 degree plus heat in summertime. Lots of manpower required and even feeding was a pain-- Grandma drove the truck while Grandpa and I cut twine and flaked bales apart off the back of the trailer as she puttered around the farm slowly. Hired help to pick up bales off the field and stack into the barn was getting hard to find even by the late 70's as people didn't want to do that kind of work anymore for the going rates. Grandpa decided in 79 or 80 to trade off the old Ford 532 small square baler on a Ford 552 (Gehl 1400 painted blue) round baler... night and day difference! Good thing too because he passed away in Feb of 83 and Grandma and I basically ran the farms within a couple years after that. Load up hay at Needville haul it 90 miles to Shiner to feed cows, pull the bales off the trailer with a rope and tractor. NO WAY we could have done that with small squares. Had something like this been available we might have stuck with squares. Rounds DO have their drawbacks-- transport and storage losses primarily, which can add up. Only real benefit is low HP requirements for round baling and no-hands-on-required hay making, moving, stacking, transport, and feeding. That's HUGE right there. Another biggie is "no barn required-- outdoor storage CAN work" reducing overhead costs, taxes on buildings, and upkeep, but the losses to the hay are higher outdoor stored than indoor, though we take steps to mitigate it as we can. If we had these modern bale accumulators and grapples to stack, we might have stuck with small squares... But these "medium squares" make a lot of sense. Too bad it wasn't commercialized and didn't catch on in a bigger way. Later! OL J R :)

I made a lot of hay with a truck mounted loader. I have to wonder what was the set up of the loader truck - was there a reverse driving system in the cab so that he didn't have to look backwards and were the multiple gears in reverse/loading position? The loaders I used had the transmission and seating and controls reversed so that the driver was always looking toward what was the back of the truck. The reason for doing this instead of a loader on a tractor was that you had the dual wheels and suspension to support the weight, could go 30+ mph and had a suspension ride. Made haymaking much faster.

I've seen lots of modern trucks that seem like they only have reverse drive, because it always seems the driver is looking backwards, especially when driving forwards.

Interesting concept but I find the bale size strange. If you are going big why not go taller as well and pack more in each bale.
@haywhatbringsyouhere4 жыл бұрын
Craig Simon the reason for the height was no big square balers existed in 1977 so we obtained standardized 16” chamber tying parts and just multiplied the width to 10 ties or 5 -18” wide 2 tie bales feeding hay from the bottom had not been done before so to make a taller bale seemed to difficult. The 8’x8’ x16” gave us the same dimensions as 10 small bales and stacks were very stable. Also curing was better than thicker bales. We built 3 of these between 1977 and 1996

Also it didn’t require a double knot system that is used on most big balers.
