We have a MF 6180 and a NH RB460 now and he definitely thinks he’s gone to heaven running it. Back in the day he worked full time as a welder and when he got off at night he’d go to the hay field and do it all again the next day. He would haul 10k small squares a day with a couple other guys and always had a day job. I have some health issues but I don’t think I could handle what he did in my best shape. I have to have some sleep.

Awesome video once again btp this video really excites me because in the past few days I finally have it set up again and I will be doing farming almost full time again this summer I was able to score a decent amount of acres and I will be going back to square baling because there is quite a demand for small square bales I live in a real rule area but it's in between two of the biggest cities in Minnesota and people pay a crazy amount for square bales and now that I was able to get some of my great grandpa's equipment back and I got a green jacket on the way and I also picked up another Massey Harris 44 so I should be almost all set and I'm going to be having one happy summer I know for a fact this first season or two I'll be losing money but just to be able to farm again after selling all my farming stuff for the first time when I went into the army it's going me making me one happy man. I have quite the strategy to there's about 50 acres of perfect a Fields but it's in real low Land were these newer bigger tractors can't get in with round balers and I'm setting up my Ford 8N with duals even on the front and duels on the square baler and I already have one hayrack with duals, I'll also be using a sickle mower instead of a haybine because a haybine is too heavy to get in there and I have a conditioner anyways I may have to hand stack for these 50 acres but it'll be worth it with a quality in the amount of hay. I'll be one of the only people to get in there but just with the minerals and the wetness of this dirt even in Minnesota I'm going to be able to get for healthy nutrient crop bales. I'll have to send you some videos with the Aiden on duels it'll be pretty funny looking and I'll have to send you some videos of a hay stacker in action this is also a reason which I'm going back to square bales. I will probably be picking up some bigger fields for round bales if there are over twenty miles away because I've already have one contract for round bales with the rest will be small squares in the twin cities of Minnesota there is a lot of rich horse stables and they will pay top dollar for quality square bales. I'm sorry I'm just so excited it's taken me six years to get back into farming so I am one happy guy I don't even care to make money as long as I break even and my other businesses can pay my bills I'll do it for the rest of my life.I'm going to be doing it in a way that I don't think anybody's ever seen it but doing it this way I'm able to pick up a lot of fields many people haven't been able to get into unless it's a drought year because of the larger equipment don't get me wrong I'll still be using larger equipment but I have a lot of smaller equipment already set up with duels like hay racks with a duals and ext from when my grandparents had to farm the marshes during the real heart droughts when they grew up. A lot of these fields will take at least a season or two to bring back to proper nutrient level with fertilizer in plantig with migraine drip but I guarantee you it I'll have the best square bales in my area. I also was able to pick up a pull-behind sprayer for some tractor work. I did also for the first season my main goal is to be redoing and getting the fields back in proper order and then I will expand and go back to round bales to help some of the local farmers that need it I'm not going to be one of the guys who ships round bales where do they need them for five times the price I'd rather break even and make a few dollars and be able to help the local farmers out who are still running family farms Psagain sorry for the long comment but I haven't been this excited for a while A lot's happened for me in 3 daysit's been real exciting to be able to get my hay rakes back and migraine drills backplus just being able to find a square bale stacker that's in good shape that runs is like finding some gold in Minnesota I will also be baling straw and fodder in the fall time toonobody in a 20 mile radius does this anymore so it should give me a little advantage for the competition

Wish I still had my AC 190XT, for a 90hp tractor. It handled more like a 50hp. But had to have something newer. Bad ideal on my part.
@bigtractorpower4 жыл бұрын
The 190XT is a solid tractor. I have watched one plowing with 4020s, 1206s and other classics at a plow day and the 190XT was smooth running and just walked away from the other tractors.

We had to stack the bales on a flat rack. I prefer the smell of corn silage myself. Cool videos like to see the old school tracters.👍

Smallest tractor on the farm and the farmer likes his 1850. No need for a smaller tractor for just one job.

I just have to laugh. My Uncle and I picked up bales one at a time with a pitchfork and slung them onto a truck bed. Those alfalfa bales! OMG! Thanks for the video

Would love to see similar video with the large square baler. And handling equipment. There are only a couple in our area western NC. I live Near North Wilkesboro Motor Speedway. Dry storage keeps round bales relevant in our area.

How many acres of hay does it require before the expense of owning such equipment becomes cost effective?
