Baleing hay and hearing strange noises in the baler

It never fails when you are really in need of a piece of equipment, it will break down, regardless of what brand it is. I have the same problem here as well.

[@diesel4life7410]

Couldn't agree more!

[@jayss10]

My granddad had a saying. The manure spreader never breaks when it's empty.

[@scottsherman8126]

Video became useful to me at 7:10. Saved me a bunch of work changing a roller today.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Right on

[@Boodlemania]

Glad to hear you've gotten good service out of that 535. We bought a Vermeer 505SI baler new in the early 90's and she's still going strong, though she's due for some new belts. Baler fires are one of my big worries - seems like every year a baler around here burns up. I check/feel all the bearings at the end of the day just to make sure none are too warm - and of course do the PM before I start in the morning.

[@howardyounger5456]

bummer with the bearing. well at least you got done.wow that is fast drying.i can bale grass that fast but not alfalfa. great video lots of hay. cow get to eat good.

[@roynelson7613]

You had me cracking up when you said right Sean when you was passing him man you don't even know how funny that was lol great video bro y'all stay safe man will see you on another one

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

It always something... Seems like we can't go very long without something breaking also!

[@AndersonCattleCo]

Glad it didn't burn I've used my fire extinguisher more than once and was glad to have it. Good vids as always Tyson those JD balers are $50,000 more than in 1993. I bought my NH new but it was 2 years old and got a smocking deal on it and when I wanted another I told the salesman I can't buy a used baler with 10,000 bales on it for more than I paid for a new one , he said He should've soaked me on my new one then I wouldn't feel bad lol he is a pretty good guy. hay looked really nice still

[@Northern_Farmer]

I have had a few get pretty hot....

[@jayss10]

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to mount a water/fluid based fire extinguisher on your balers someplace. A decent one would run you about $200 US each if not less. I've actually seen kits at the dealers to mount up one. If you get a really good one they have a tire shraider valve on the trigger body so you can recharge it at the farm yourself without having to monkey around with an adapter on the hose and pulling the trigger to charge it. Only problem with water based extinguishers is you should bring them in during the winter or empty them out. It's cheap insurance. While enclosed cab machines are so much nicer to operate it also blocks those noises from the machine when things like that start to go. You thought it was the radio, nope. Lucky you caught it before she lit off.

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yea we have them in the tractors

[@TheGhostOfLuciasClay]

I didn't know you baled over stone piles and through creeks too :)

[@Northern_Farmer]

Oh yea lol

[@tjb4030]

with that much land and cows to feed and weather its always good to still be able to bale with one bailer if one goes down like now. you got a good bearing ear LOL

[@Northern_Farmer]

Yea it got to the point that there was to much for one baler

[@johnfox1382]

I check to see if any bearing get warm when start and the warm ones I drill a hole in the seal and inject some grease. keeps email going for a while so you can change them on a rainy day.

[@farmrrick]

There are some needle greasers too. They slip up under the seal so you can lube them without destroying the seal.

[@jaysonmckinley3617]

My baler is making a thinking noise like a big rocks in there or something any idea ? Jd 535 net wrap baler

[@DennysCountryLife]

Bummer man! I hope they have the bearing on the shelf for ya.

[@Northern_Farmer]

They have tons.... One of the most common bearings on that baler

[@jamieshields9521]

😱nooooo, I hope fix doesn't take to long. Good luck with baling

[@Northern_Farmer]

Fixed in a hour

[@stanleyjones4180]

thanks for the video

[@davjociestanski1587]

👍👍👍

[@noelhohberger1188]

least ya found it before a fire

[@danielaltman9945]

Just bought a 96' JD 435 with 2/3 paint still on the chamber walls. Hope to get many years of service out of it! Any tips/tricks on these?

[@Northern_Farmer]

If the belts treads are wore...put new belts on...makes a big difference for starting bales

[@danielaltman9945]

The belts are the originals. They are not worn, but are a little weather cracked. They even have the original JD style gator clips. I'll replace all the pins and see if I can get lucky a few seasons.

[@jeremys6072]

How did you get the bearings out of the roller, I have a 530 that one just went out on.

[@Northern_Farmer]

If you can get a small l8ng rod down the hole and pound them out

[@northernvirginiahayandstra5570]

nice video we have two new holland baler

[@Northern_Farmer]

Thanks

[@blakeb1992]

What is the spin on filter for inside the baler where the twine is?

[@Northern_Farmer]

Twine pump oil filter

[@ashtonthornes1418]

What are those two old buildings at the top of the field?

[@Northern_Farmer]

Old school houses

[@HLfarms]

I had to replace the one right beside that one

[@stephenjones7211]

Have you ever thought about doing haylage or silage seeing that you don't get much good hay making weather were you are.

[@Northern_Farmer]

No...hate the stuff

[@myronparks3495]

How many bales has that 535 baler made?

[@Northern_Farmer]

Gotta be past 25,000 now

[@ralphstrucking]

Is hit hard to get parts??

[@Northern_Farmer]

Nope... very common bearings.... John deere has tons in stock

[@Oldvet1946]

Well that just sucks. And when you really need it to run with rain coming and hay down. Mike

[@Northern_Farmer]

Always hey

[@SteelyPaw]

I never use quick connects on wires. I always solider them then wrap with a bit of elec tape then shrink tubing and that is a trouble free for life connection. Can't you use a smaller 2 wheel drive tractor to pull the baler? Do you plant, cut and bale alfalfa? I think cows like alfalfa and cut corn.

[@Northern_Farmer]

I dont have any other smaller 2 wd to run the balers... these tractors are only 120 hp

[@SteelyPaw]

Thanks for your reply. I thought you had other tractors than the 4x4, but no doubt they will do the job I enjoy your videos.. Thanks......

[@roberthewson3783]

Why do use string and not net ?

[@Northern_Farmer]

No wrap on the balers... just twine....

[@ReolSPro]

the chain looks pretty dry to me

[@Northern_Farmer]

But it gets oiled every day

[@ReolSPro]

then it´s the dust accumulating

[@georgiaswampman4542]

Is Shawn your brother? How are you related?

[@koryleague8833]

[@koryleague8833]
