Baling With The Hesston

[@whiteunicorn79]

Beautiful fields. Took over my family's farm last year. Old golden jubilee been sitting out there for 20yrs. Lol think I'll ever get her running again. All equipment just trapped in time from when our horse farm stopped existing. Love all you farm boys. Keeping America true!! I'm a rare breed for my area almost 40yr old female running a farm in the mtns alone.. pushing to make my farm self sustainable.. good luck with your tractor's.. 😉

[@davekimbler2308]

Nothing like working in those old tractors? My ass that’s heaven compared to the tractor I ran as a kid ( Oliver 77 ) and now Oliver 1850 really sucks to be you ! I’m glad you have good equipment, makes the job go so much better

[@phantomwolf6.7l65]

We on Smith farms in Belle Rive Illinois in my dad does have near tractors I have near tractors but my 4960 spend my all-time favorite cuz first tractor ever start out driving but I can say my 8530 is about my most favorite tractor now besides my dad's new R series

Great video Wes thanks for sharing have a great day

[@ginggur17]

Beautiful bonnet. Lush

[@myronparks3495]

Keep the Hesston baler. You may need it just as a back up in case the Krone goes down. If you get more ground or do more custom baling it will come in handy.

[@jeremysmits9784]

Looks like old times before the 4960 burned 👍

[@jankotze1959]

Great busy video on the old school equipment

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

I had to look at the time stamp. Thought it was ten years ago 😃. Keep plugging away at it.

Wes = 1 - ton of badass!!!

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks for sharing Wes..

[@chrismorris308]

Great to see your field video's again 😎👍👌👍👌

[@cjjack-qk9qp]

Great video wes Tell Tim he needs to wash his wndows more often

[@davidrowley8251]

88 bales/tons of hay from 50 acres, that's 1.76 tons per acre. Pretty good second cut in grass. The #6 string lollipop sticking up above the knotter assembly, indicates no string tension. Some problem with the knotter or just broken twine. The lowered hydraulic pressure on the cylinders that squeeze the baling chamber, is because now that he has increased the friction on the inside of the baling chamber and made the baling chamber longer in back, he can hold the bale back against the plungerhead with less squeeze pressure on the baling chamber walls. The baler is making flakes that are about 2 inches thick, and making a flake every plungerhead stroke, that is maximum efficiency and smooths out the shock loads on the tractor as well as the baler. Wes needs that 8120 with the loader to load and move bales, especially with 4x4 bales that weigh 1 ton each. These 4x4 bales may be too much for the bale stacker trailer, and this field he wants to load onto semitrailers right away, anyhow.

[@tdgreenbay]

You need to keep it... good backup baler for when you F up the pickup... this baler likes dry stuff... perfect for strawbales

[@onlygazza]

This vid reminds me of some of your first hay vids, I like old school cos it takes skill to run em 👍

[@klousy58]

Love this view

[@thomasadriaensen4148]

Why did you not put the Krone on the 8120?

[@colmone5592]

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin', Keep dem balers Rollin'.

[@andrewkiwi1]

Wes remember "you can only do what you can do!" So don't beat yourself up over it. You are a hard worker and you know what you are doing.

[@ainsleydunne2685]

Great work wes

[@henrytomlinson3634]

Timing you can tell you altered the links listening to the tractor on the ram strokes it's really taking the weight off the tractor, you have really transformed the old Heaston 4x4. Henry

[@TheSoloAsylum]

On the 907 in 27th gear, friggin rights he is.

[@aldenbullard1979]

Finally first love you videos Wes

[@tylerschierholz7534]

Great video

[@eddeetz493]

You'll have the minor kinks straightened out with the next weather repair window. A ton a bale is saving time, loads, twine and fuel. With all the upcoming baling contracts the Heston will be one hell of an asset to keep making money when the sun shines. I hope hay prices and prepaid customers justify a permanent huge poly covered storage hanger for winter rebaling, log sawing with board storage and equipment storage. WS Ag in Wisconsin type building. Screw the tarp work and expense. Hell of a job with the Heston and channel. The manure from a chicken operation with wood carbon to compost adds another revenue stream. Dump fees from sludge food waste and chickens free range would add value. Good luck with the weather for a change.

[@Samuel-li9nk]

You almost need a big pole shed to store these bailers

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man...I've got wet hay on the ground that I gotta rake and bale later today....hoping for wind myself! I gotta get plugged in to a mushroom guy to sell too!

[@Gustav4]

Why do you use that old tractor for the heston? Dont you got a newer one that has more power?

[@billdill6715]

Man that cab is loud for a 60 series. Should be nice and quiet I'd think.

[@stanleyjones4180]

thanks for the video wes

[@America-First2024]

I thought you were going to pair the JD 8120 with the Krone?

[@GeneHunt406]

I think had was the plan, but the Hesston was acting up so Wes jumped on the 4960 to see what the problem was...

[@America-First2024]

😁👍🏻

[@woodman1241]

what happened to putting the 8120 on the krone

[@NorthEastOhio]

What's the 2 black things stuck to the windshield

[@ihus9950]

Great video Wes, but what happened to the Hesston. Guess we'll wait for part 2! 👍

[@ajmac5735]

Hey Wes. Could you not ted the outside round further into the field? I know it would be thicker on the next inside round but would it dry better all over? It might work better on second cut as it’s lighter. Or I could be completely wrong. 😂 keep up the great work.

[@hartsfire5706]

true you do not need to have a third baler. but having a back up the you your self have tweaked and you know works really good would be a nice thing.but as you say do you need it and or have the room to store it?

[@benjaminbauer4883]

Thanks 4th

[@thomaspenny6685]

Resently found you channel only for the 4960 cought my attention love the old girl if I had the money I would buy her. Do you have any scottish ancestry in your family because you are blunt and straight to the point just like us

[@4gauge10]

Holy crap Wes,that rear window needs some serious power washing. The 4960 cab is LOUD,LOUD,LOUD!!.

[@alexclairehall7530]

great vid good job .. screenwash would be good! lol

[@tonygreen769]

It surprises me quite how noisy that cab is....

[@4gauge10]

I think the Hesston knew that you were talking about it.

[@jimjackson5836]

I would keep it for a spare in case 1 of the Krones go down!

[@truckinchihuahuaalvieschre2494]

You know just watching this video I just realized you have never done a video on something you've talked about you hate doing a lot. And I don't blame you for hating to do it but I know you have had to do it at some time. And that is rebaling a bail that came apart. I don't think you've ever done a video on breaking a male down and showing why you actually hate doing it. Just a thought on another video. Anyway great video and one I have been waiting to see you for a long time. Love your Channel.

[@warrenpost1502]

After driving your newest tractor you need to drive your worst tractor and the drive your 4960. Maybe Tim keeps beer instead of wrenches in the cab

[@WilliamTMusil]

Mornin Wes

[@kennycraze]

If the back window was cleaned, the operator could actually see behind as he works!

[@SlipShodBob]

I know you don't choose the ads that KZbin put up but I think they either believe your viewers are billionaire businessmen and Hollywood stars or farmers in America are a lot richer than over here as they decided to show one for private luxury jet

[@jondunn5986]

You broke Tims baler............

[@unitc994]

Heston went to touch screen in 2004, also you seem to know very little about knotters, In less than ten min you can set up all six knotters to be miss proof

[@piperdoug428]

Yeah I thought you'd just park the 8530 and pick at it on rainy days, you have enough tractors to keep going.

[@jfulton-ak]

When you started the video and said "A view you haven't seen in a while" I thought you were going to refer to the sun......

[@farmerjoe8169]

So if your buying a 2nd krone. What are you gonna pull it with?

[@kain545]

Probably put one back on the 8120 and the other on his 8530

[@illinoisfarmboy2457]

kain545 but the 8120 has the loader on it now.

[@kain545]

@@illinoisfarmboy2457 yeah but he said he would just take it off which isn't hard with this new loader and put the weights back on the front. But really who knows he could have something up his sleeve that we don't know about

[@2xxx2xxx21]

Like you could put 7530 on it i think

[@drewwilke1733]

I heard he might be getting a new tractor

[@beauhudson7758]

Maybe the problem is the guy who is wrenching on it lol
