Baling Crazy Thick Rye 200 Bales Per Acre

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

Dennis, retired and closed my HVAC business in 2019 after 31 yrs, the last 5 was a wake up call, a generation taught that college was the all answer! Lazy no work ethic, Generation, Sad. Take care and watch you back when unloading them😂🚜👍🏼🇺🇸

[@DLHFarms]

That’s the honest truth right there.

[@jerrystott7780]

I can't believe nobody wanted to work for that price. I remember bucking bales for $0.02 a bale, and how excited we got when one farmer went up to a nickel. Then I went logging and didn't return to the fields.

[@thr8061]

As a dairy farm kid on the 70s, what's getting paid?!

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

I ran my new Kuhns AE15 and grapple for the first time a couple years ago, it was awesome!!!!! Thanks so much Dennis!

[@DLHFarms]

[@almyers8074]

Good morning Dennis! Watching this video reminded me of the first video I ever saw of yours when Shannon came and bailed you out (Ha Ha) so you could run the grappler. With all the new equipment, some things can never be replaced.😉 Thanks for the ride-a-long.

[@DLHFarms]

Nice pun haha

[@johnezell1366]

Glad you had a good crop. Hopefully a good year for farmers. I like the Massey tractors, looking at a 4707 for myself. Thanks for all your videos, I wouldn't have looked at a Massey if I hadn't watched you. Have a good day!

[@DLHFarms]

Love my 4710

[@thomasmccrea8149]

I’m in Lexington at a horse show with my wife , an hour or so away from you I reckon . If I had known you needed help I would have brought some Amish boys with me. They charge $20.00 per hour for hay labor but a 12 year old Amish boy can do the work of 3 Mexicans! Oh I just remembered, November is “Amish Wedding Season” , seriously, that’s when farm work has slowed down and they are getting their sons and daughters of age married off. Amish weddings in my area are on Tuesday’s and Thursdays , an all day event ! Anyway sorry to be rambling on . I always love seeing that accumulator work! Thanks for the video!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

That was a great yield from that field!! I was thinking of planting some rye next year for straw bale sales.

[@DLHFarms]

Go for it. It was fun

[@bjenkins803]

Glad y'all were able to stock up on rye. Awesome amount! I bet you'll get to make some good snow videos this year too. Supposed to be a real winter this season.

[@DLHFarms]

I hope we get lots of snow

[@nickandres7320]

How is the clutch in that 4710? Mines got 500 hrs calibrated twice and after awhile it gets jumpy again

[@DLHFarms]

Mine is jumpy occasionally

[@jamiepeeler9660]

Just got a tie grabber. It is definitely going to take some getting used to. What rate did you plant your rye? Thanks.

[@DLHFarms]

Planted at 3 bushels to the acre.

[@doctorevil7352]

That is an impressive yield for a field that size. Incredible quantity of straw. Must have got the soil condition just about as perfect as can be for a straw crop.

[@DLHFarms]

Must have even though it was on accident.

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

Great video Dennis. Glad to see you back. Hows the firewood cutting going?

[@DLHFarms]

About 100 loads sold so far since September

[@joshuawitter4269]

I sure do love watching your videos and watching that Kuhns accumulator work! I'll have to come down from Ohio and see you again sometime and bug you with some more questions!

[@DLHFarms]

Sounds good come on down!

[@randynbham]

You and Shannon are a great team!!! Lowest tractor speed I believe I've ever seen you run while baling!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks! Definitely the slowest we have had to bale

[@mikesavavge3365]

Good to see another video posted Dennis .Great crop shame wheels weights haven't arrived yet. would have been a good chance to try them out . Have to ask Dennis .6715 S repaired and gone back ? Hope you finilly had chance to run it. Mike

[@DLHFarms]

Still here and still not repaired. 🤷‍♂️

[@mikesavavge3365]

@@DLHFarms Any idea why they have not fixed the tractor yet Dennis? I can't understand mike

[@tombeiting3868]

I went with the same accumulator that you have last year. It worked perfect then but now this year I am having the same issue of the gate not opening all the time. At first I thought the bales were to light so I tightened them up and it worked for an hour then started again. What did you do to adjust yours and also what number massy are you using

[@DLHFarms]

Look up Kuhns/Norden KZbin channel they have some good tips on there what to look for. The tractor on the baler is a 5711D and the tractor on the rake is a 4710.

[@jeffferanec4526]

Nice job, I plant cerial rye every fall for straw & love it. It really produces. Thx 4 sharing.

[@mikesavavge3365]

Hope you're work load is getting less Dennis ? Alot of field work finished for you. Remember one year on the farm had 18000 bales a good year .all small stacked manually. Later years went to all round bales .Has the 6715 got front linkage?. The way it's going you might get chance to snow plough if it has the front linkage. Would be good to see a video of that.Mike Ps are they waiting for a part ?

[@DLHFarms]

It does not have a front linkage. They just haven’t had time to work on it I guess. They told me they were going to come get it soon.

[@joeculbertson3602]

I got concerned hadn’t seen ya in awhile and was wondering if you had pull the trigger on the 5711? May a had by now, but hay will pay for it soon enough if things continue as they are. Fertilize is going to be outrageous!

[@DLHFarms]

I didn’t buy the 5711 I let it go. Think I want to go bigger when I do buy.

[@joeculbertson3602]

@@DLHFarms hey do you lime every year in lieu of fertilizer?

[@chrisrexroat3240]

I feel your pain of finding good help. We only do square bales for ourselves and have started doing contract jobs for other horse farms around us. We can not find reliable help to put in the barn. And we live in the heart of horse farm area. We have one neighbor kid that will help when he's not at his construction job, but that is difficult to coordinate. When it's good hay weather it's also good construction weather. Have offered some farm helpers that we know the same $20 an hour plus food, and they just don't want to show up.

[@TH-od1nk]

Bale baron is the answer, I can do 2000-2500 bales in a day, baled ,loaded, and parked under cover by dark

[@chrisrexroat3240]

@@TH-od1nk I built my own grapple last summer which made a huge difference in getting it out of the field. Planning on building my own accumulator to match it this winter.

[@TH-od1nk]

Great awesome video Dennis , I thought you were done for the season. , last minute straw Is this the field that the disc bine took off to the road cause it was wet lol

[@DLHFarms]

Yes same field. This was filmed in June.

[@josephmelson7591]

Just curious what you get for straw in your area here wheat and oat straw is 4-11 dollar's a bale ..rye is unusual to have small bales here but when we do see them they are around 6 dollar's most is put in big bales tho for export and cow hay filler

[@DLHFarms]

$6 per bale right now

[@dougvaldivia3395]

gotta keep that production up...yea virginia

[@DLHFarms]

👍

[@madampolo]

Amazing amount of grass to bale! Why is this straw and not hay? Do straw bales sell better than hay?

[@DLHFarms]

We use a lot of straw ourselves

About 50 pounds

Wow, my cousin and I worked for a farmer when I was 14. It was a one day job and I made $10.00 for the day and my cousin made $20.00 because he knew how to drive a tractor. That was a long back breaking day, but we filled the loft just the two of us.

It’s definitely back breaking work. I’ve been delivering a lot to customers and unloading by hand.
