Im not a farmer, but I do enjoy your videos. Have learned a fair amount about your profession. Thank you. Keep up the great videos.

Damn. I love that baler, and I am not even a farmer. The way it devours that grass and turns it into perfect rectangular cuboids all day without complaint is fascinating. Except for the alarm perhaps. But that clutch is an amazing feature! Look at how it saves you from breaking things (provided you stay out of the ditch). I don't have a tractor or a field, but I want that baler.

YEARS ago I mowed some sorghum with a self propelled NH with crimping rollers...that stuff was a high as the cab or taller. Got windrows a lot like that...or better. Got a big bore raccoon stuck in the rollers that day too. ( at least it wasn't a skunk)

Have had both a 10 wheel rake (Ogden), and 2, 5 bar side delivery rakes, (NH Super 55 & JD, can't remember the exact model of it). When it came to wet/damp hay, always went with the 5 bars, they were able to tear the big clumps apart while still just turning the hay over to dry before baling. Used to feel like we needed a "rotary rake" until we got to see one in action... that turned into a "no go". Totally agree with you Wes about those rotary rakes, concept is great but, in reality, they suck.

When I worked on a small farm I would have killed for a baler like that. I remember being on the wagon stacking bales in the heat all day. I also remember that I hated it, now I kinda miss it.

Cathal Mod Gaming see i'd never want to buy a rake where i'd be stuck and not be able to rake it up in whatever conditions i'm presented with. I'd like a wheel rake but we cut very light crops but they can be in very wet conditions sometimes. we cut in late april and early october sometimes.

I can not believe the size of those windrows and the fact that you just keep stuffing it all in there so fast. Must be nice to have nice hay equipment. It was never our main thing on the farm so always made do with old junk. Dad would have made us go out and make two windrows out of one with a pitchfork probably.

Very cool baler! I was between a Kuhn and a New Holland both 10 wheel speed rakes like yours. I bought a rotary rake last year and I hate that thing. Like you said, it hates rough ground and it will break off arms etc. My neighbor broke his when he caught a piece of barbed wire fence laying on the ground. Really messed it up. Anyway, I'm going for the New Holland pro cart 10 wheel rake with the extra center wheel for about $7,000. What do you think?
