50 YEAR OLD BALER BACK IN ACTION Massey Ferguson 20

[@garymemetoo2238]

I agree with Nick: If there's no breakdowns from morning to night, it's been a great day.

[@DaleFarm]

Absolutely!!

[@chrisgorst1798]

Never really understood how a baler worked was just glad to get the last bale in the barn 🤗

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you’ the baler is such a cool machine !

[@dalemarsh357]

A hard days work that. The old fella has a big smile on his face up there. Nothing wrong with getting upset at all. Remember, tears are units of measurement for the love of those that we've lost. I bet he gave you a big cuddle in your minds eye. Keep going and enjoy your surroundings. They are so precious you know.

[@DaleFarm]

Hay making in the heat is definitely a full on experience’! The sense of achievement is great tho!! Yeah missing dad a lot , especially on the days where I so wish he could still be apart of farm life, and feeling he was short changed … he didn’t deserve to die age 70, he is missing so much. xx

[@geroldsss]

Dear Joanna and Nick! You two did a good job. It's always exciting for me to watch you both. It was also very interesting to see how the old tractor worked. If I have understood this correctly, he works according to a simple principle, and you only need to spend a little longer with him. Am I right? 🤔 We had and have it very hot 🥵 here, and our farmers are also suffering from the weather. I think only our winegrowers are happy about the heat here. Unfortunately, this will continue here in the next few weeks 🌡️ I'm looking forward to next week and what happens next with the lambs. Kind wishes, Gerold and Ilse 👋🏻

[@DaleFarm]

Hi Gerold. I love the sunshine but not too much heat especially for working! Yes the older tractors and machines are simpler and slower to get the job done but they still do the job well and a bit of our fun farming history!

[@lockhartsteele3531]

Once again, massive admiration for you two from an ageing retired farmer who knows how impossibly difficult it is to make hay in September and decent hay it looks !

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much!. I hope it well be decent enough hay. Could have done with longer to dry but we really ran out of options and time x

[@FarmFreshIB]

Love watching that old machine getting the job done! Nice work!

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you!! Xx

My first job aged 6 Learning to bale with a David Brown 996 and a Ferguson bailer sat between my Grandads legs.

[@DaleFarm]

Amazing memories

[@davidmcgough6462]

That Massey Ferguson Small-Hay-Baler what a machine !!! Along with the David Brown 885 & Yes the British Weather being a Heatwave & now 16 degrees less than it was only 5 days ago - a lot of the Weather in the rest of europe was obviously grim you'll get that nice Sunny Break. I'm with you Joanna on your Grief feelings & your Dad is so very proud of you. Massive Lorry of Hay & nice to see Nick & your helpers x

Excellent work. Your dad would be so proud of all the had work your both putting in to keep the farm going

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much ! It’s not been easy but nick has been a great support , couldn’t have done it without him

[@jlonewolf7403]

Yeah, just got done watching your video. Sure brought back a lot of memories from my teenage years. In the summer months, if we wanted money, we would load the hay on a truck bed, 125 bails a load. Then go stack it the barn, was no fun place to be in 97-99 degree weather,haha. I really had a flashback, when you guys were unloading hay in the barn after dark. That would have been our last load for the day. This went on all summer long, haha. I was a go getter in 1975.

[@DaleFarm]

Farming memories are so wonderful ❤️

[@DaleFarm]

I grew up seeing it done as a child and I did what I could to help but wasn’t very strong or able - !! In more recent years I got better at moving bales but not responsible for the stacking / organisation x

[@garethparr9482]

Could watch that all day. Nice to see small bales you don’t see to many these days and proper tractors and implements instead of all the huge stuff they use today. Brings back many really happy memories for me spending summer holidays on my uncles farm gay making and harvesting 👍

[@GeoffreyMoore-i9k]

Your baler reminds me of my holidays on my uncles farm, 5 decades ago lol MF135 and MF165, MF 500 combine but I can't remember the baler, if that was MF or New Holland, but similar to yours, 2 cords oh n what I can only describe as a bed frame, to catch the bales into groups, rather than scattered all around the field Another amazing update, thank you Sympathise over your loss, worked with my father for years, surprising the number of jobs, tools, places that continue to bring him back to mind Miss his laugh, knowledge and wisdom, he passed in 2012 Take care Geoff

Hi Joanna & Nick...you folks are a class act, hard work I know coming from a farming family myself. Great to see the David Brown tractor working away, my brother worked for DB in Huddersfield, of course the tractor division was bought by Case; the gears part of DB still remains in Huddersfield and is doing well.

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you, glad you like the old tractors too and thank you for the praise and encouragement. We really appreciate it! We do our best , not always easy to get things right . as you know x

[@corerlt]

Why don't you just hook a hay rack on behind that baler and stop dropping them on the ground?

[@DaleFarm]

I don’t know ??

[@padraigbeag]

@@corerlt To do that the ground needs to be reasonably flat and the tractor would need sufficient horsepower as well.

A well earned beer you two, I think hay making is always a little more stressful as the weather window is that tighter. Nice big cab on the David Brown, your Dad was sharp with his machinery choices. Sorry Spain was a bit of a let down.

Shear perfection to witness the marvelous hay baler cha-cha dancing thru the field making perfect square bales. Your sadness is a little painful to see but is a beautiful and heartfelt testament to your love for your dad. Be well, be happy as fall nears. I reckon that ironic is the word for the holiday weather. 🙃

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Nice to see old classic machinery at work and getting the job done. Needless to say they owe you nothing. Baler could probably do with having its knives sharpening and or shimmed to reduce the clearance between the ram knife and fixed knife.

[@andrewmacomber1638]

Hallelujah! No breakdowns! That is awesome. I was prepared to say the life of a farmer is machinery repairs/maintenance and fence building. T’is a blessing and relief when all goes well. Truly a cause for a toast and sip of beer! It’s Margarita Friday for me! Cheers! 🍻 😁✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇬🇧

[@kerryjlynch1]

Well done! That baler brought back some memories for me from the 1970's. I was always amazed that they worked at all, especially the twine-knotter. I sure understand the grief. I've got my Dad's hand-tools, and although I love using them, it can be a little bitter-sweet. (And my grandsons think my hand-auger is hilarious.)

[@DaleFarm]

Bitter sweet is definitely the best explanation ❤️❤️

Aww so happy to see the old Massey chugging away 😊 reminds me of summer hay making when I was younger. I know memories hit you with grief 😢Joanna but it’s healing ❤️‍🩹 emotional loss. Hopefully the weather stays well. Team work makes the dream work 😃

[@eddiek0507]

Hi Joanna, Good to see you have got the bales done. We had an unexpected, beautiful week of hot weather in September. You can't beat old machinery, there's something about it. It may be slower & more prone to breakdowns, but it still does the job...🙂👍🏻

[@DaleFarm]

I agree with you the old machines are kinda special x

[@Dave-gg8gm]

I used to hate that job as a kid, but I must admit missing it now. Nice to see that Massey Ferguson at work.

[@DaleFarm]

Nostalgia isn’t it !!

[@jeffweier4824]

Wonderful to see the Massey baler going again. Believe me they still make bales that are as good 'quality-wise' as the new balers. The fundamental mechanical bale making principle on the new balers is exactly the same as your Massey only it's more compact, faster (wears quicker) and smoother running. You sure do make more bales in a given time with the new balers but they are expensive and if you only bale for yourself and don't contract bale for others, it's well worth keeping the old baler going. I'm sure your Dad is so very pleased and proud of you Joanna. Excellent work.

[@DaleFarm]

Hi Jeff, we will certainly try and keep the old machine going! She’s getting wrapped up back again for the rest of the year and stored in the barn! I do love the sound and sight of it.. something exciting about it !!

@@DaleFarmI was referring to the hay tedder/rake - not the baler. That 'whine' I heard sounded like a gearbox low on oil or a shaft bearing getting ready to go south [bad]. Your hay crop was heavy this year. If it were me, I'd really clean up that piece of equipment, hook it back up to a tractor and let it spin so to try an isolate where the 'whine' is happenning - my 'ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure' maintenance habit...from the 'for what it's worth' department.
