Yes enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing with us

[@robertmeyerholtz8504]

Amazing the speed you go and the pick up doesn't leave much more.

[@TheBayoutransplant]

Back in the 70s I was a new holland service manager in the northwest when NH came out with the 1069 Stack Cruiser. It was one of the first with a table that tied the bales and that system was triggered by a magnet passing by a trip. In the area where we were was volcanic soil which is- magnetic. After a few loads the tying system would quit working because the magnets would get loaded up with magnetic soil. It gave us nightmares.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

That’s crazy! Who would have thought? That’s impossible to foresee that coming. Once you new the problem, was it an easy fix?

[@TheBayoutransplant]

NH solution-clean the magnet area often. It was considered an extreme and unusual condition.

[@TheBayoutransplant]

We began using onboard compressed air and blew them off. We also rerouted the air intake.

[@dsvidhill3409]

I'm new to your Channel. Have very much enjoyed your videos that I watched so far. First time I've ever heard about steamers. I used to be a Dairy Farmer retired and I had 160 Acres of irrigated alfalfa. I farmed in North Dakota

[@ollie-lk5dx]

Have you ever thought about a suction a device on the front of the baler to suck in loose leaves? With steam you could use ventures to suck the loose leaves into the baler. Or maybe use a orbit motor to drive a fan to suck in the leaves. Just a thought.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

No, because you would then be picking up more than just leaves. Dirt. Rocks. Old dead alfalfa sticks. Bugs. But mostly dirt. I think it would be cool, especially if there was a way to filter it. But man that also sounds expensive

[@ollie-lk5dx]

@@BalesHayFarmandRanch didn't think of that

[@scottfrazier131]

It seems to me that Brian is a no bullshit kind of guy! I love it

[@stevenicoson6670]

Thanks for another great video. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all. Sending Best Wishes to all of you for a nice Xmas and have a great holiday season. Thanks for the rundown on the baler and steamer and the outfit that picks up the bales. Brian seems to be a no nonsense kind of person. Go get em Brian. Interesting to see how the steamer and baler work together. Can see where you need the right kind of tractor to do the job. Nice units. You can cover a lot of ground with that setup. Your gas storage tank turned out well. Looks good after all the troubles getting it done. Good job Treavor. About it for now. You all take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. The Iowa farm boy from years ago.

[@oby-1607]

A good place for the air intake would be up above the cab with some piping and clamps to make sure it is well secured. Great video.

[@JacoBadenhorst]

From what you Showed, it seems that re-routing the air intake to the old style high level intake would not be a major hassle. And the savings in down time and air filters would pay for itself pretty quickly.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

They make a kit for it. They will be installing if for free this winter.

[@JacoBadenhorst]

@@BalesHayFarmandRanch Thanx for the reply. I enjoy seeing how your hay operation works. hope you and the family get well soon. Blessings from South Africa.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

It really depends on the size of the windrow.

[@jaimedancer736]

GREAT VIDEO We have a beautiful horse farm here in central New Jersey My husband farms and grows our hay We are close to the ocean so its very hard to make hay as beautiful as yours We grow a lot of orchard grass and timothy mix When we want beautiful Alfalfa hay we get it from the west Can definitely see the need for the steamer when the hay rattles like that in the row Keep making that beautiful hay Oh G P M Gallons Per Minute

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Horse farm on the ocean!! Sounds beautiful! And very cold this time of the year.

[@richardtozer3959]

How long will the hay stay damp

[@johnearhart8811]

Merry Christmas

[@gerardaholt6540]

obviously the steamer helps keep the leaves on, but how much moisture does it add to the bale and how does the hay keep wit hour molding?

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

It’s different every night. We monitor the moisture as the bale is coming off the baler. You could add too much moisture to already wet hay. It takes a good driver watching the moisture monitor and bale weights

[@perryschultz2468]

[@TheMr9fingers]

What are you burning to creat the steam and how fast can the bale wagon travel when picking bales

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Diesel. And it depends how far apart the bales are. 5mph to 15mph.

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! merry Christmas to you and your family

[@bigears4426]

Was it worth cutting with that poor crop and the steamer as well , i had never seen a steamer before, it does seem to work well

[@johnwarren-649]

[@richardradawetz6192]

Nice pump setup but no galvanized pipes. They’re for water only. But a nice setup

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Yeah, I’m learning this all the hard way.

[@ajskab99]

How long does a tank of water last in the steamer?

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

It depends on how dry conditions are and how windy it is. It could last 100 acres or only 40.

[@harveystephens6115]

Can air filter bet relocated higher behind cab?

I understand the frustration, but the engineers who designed this air system have driven one of these in a working hay field. We all put up with "Harrassment Features" on new vehicles. So, work around the DMF's !

[@jasonthomas7995]

@@BalesHayFarmandRanch1st) Absolutely all manufactures without exception have to control their bottom line period. So a lot of this new "innovations" are about their billfolds not ours. I know you aren't able to comment on this so I'll do it for those of you who can't. 2nd) It isn't the owner's place to modify existing OEM equipment on these new machines after all the monies that are spent buying and maintaining them, only to void a warranty. Now rest assured, there is an update or a manufactures upgrade for a "few" dollars more and sometimes has to be brought back in to their approved shop or by their approved mechanic, for these said "upgrades" which only increase our cost. 3rd) A lot of times their innovations are so bad that we have to upgrade, just like the air filter and breather system under the platform and behind tire which is the worst possible place ever in the history of a clean air recovery system. The engineer who come up with that setup is definitely got a bonus for that year. Okay I'm done now I have to go and scatter lime and fertilizer.
