First Time Rolling with NH 848 FastNet Baler

[@springrunfarms1810]

Glad to see your enjoying the baler as much as I did. It’s better to see it bailing again then just sitting in the corner of the barn catching dust like it has for the last year.

[@MrAnnadrew]

love the amount of videos lately

[@oldretireddude]

Needs something under the hitch to stop product from snagging on the frame.

“Peyronie’s” LMAO! 😂

Coffee and Boehm video, not a bad Friday morning.

[@dawsoneubank1432]

Next time you are running the baler could jump out and show us the bales it makes

[@GenAfterNextTactics]

I couldn't jelly my hand fast enough on that like button. Good video!

[@ghenry85]

Those bales look good. Nice and square. Big difference from your older round baler. I'm pretty convinced that open throated balers are better than the feeder rolls on dad's Gehl. The hoses for the wrap actuator sounds like a good idea. Tidy up the cab. Im glad you like your new toy.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Welcome to the world of netwrap! No way would I ever go back to twine! I've put over 20,000 bales through my New Holland 648 and its been a great machine

[@williammcniven8984]

648 and 644 are damn good balers, ours is a good machine. Ours also has the net and I would sure hate to go back to 100% twine.

[@seadog6351]

Always a lift to see Jacob excited about work.

[@patrickdorman8120]

Soooooooooo much nicer hell you will need to run the rake again to get a few more bales.

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Looks like it was a good trade!

[@wannabefarmer6056]

I found a needle greaser I use for sealed bearings. It's basically a grease fitting with a needle on the end. It was not expensive and it allows you to jam your jelly past the seal ;)

[@boehmfarm4276]

Hahaha, yes.

[@rogercarrico4975]

I'm just impressed as hell! That thing makes a super nice bale! Pretty heavy wind rows too. Eating them up like me after a ribeye steak!😀 NOW you can see how much time you were losing. Stringing bales with that one arm 846! I'm thrilled for you! 😁👍

[@rogerholloway8498]

My old Swede uncle used to tell me... I yest started calling it YAM, and you change it to YELLY!

I need to do that weigh test on our new vs old balers. Interesting!

[@martinbenton742]

Nice! Hopefully you get years of great service out of it. MB BAR RANCH

[@jamesmullis6827]

So glad to see you're doing fine with the 848 ! I should have known you'd have it baling . Thx for the video!

[@lorengolliher2712]

Sweet machine you know if you're on a mud flap underneath your drawbar on your tractor the hay won't ball up like it does anyways enjoy what you do keep doing what you're doing

[@Northern_Farmer]

I had no idea new holland had net wrap in the old chain balers

[@boehmfarm4276]

Me neither.

Yes, just waiting for finishing touches

Oh, one season at a time, I'm getting there.

[@dougvaldivia3395]

don't need to ohm out search for shorts or look for burn spots with mechanical

[@brian_2040]

Get a old mudflap on the hitch, hay will slide right under the machine.

[@TheFarmingLife]

overall it looks like you made a very good trade. If you get a chance will you be able to weigh some of these bales. Have a great Friday

[@haweater1555]

I thought the chain balers were gone before net wrap was put on belt balers.

[@onealfarms9967]

848 NH balers we’re the best one they built I still have one I use and bales over 500 rolls a year no electronics just a easy machine easy to work on no belts to worrie about

[@joshk.6246]

That's why they quit making em, can't sell more stuff if it's good quality.

[@lukestrawwalker]

That works pretty darn slick! I've seen the bar balers but never actually run one or seen one run before. I like it! Shame they don't make them anymore! OL J R :)

[@mtozzy11]

"we have an oddity hopefully parts aren't hard to find" famous last words. Baler is doing well you won't know yourself with a netwarp. Next thing you'll be buying a rotary rake and discbine. International did do a rotary rake model 10, 8' raking width made by pottinger France mid 70's mines a 76. Have never seen another one like it and very little info on it.

[@ihd-3603]

Rotary rake would definitely tidy up those windrows and make it easier to bale too

[@mtozzy11]

@@ihd-3603 yup alot neater, you don't leave anything behind and it produces a cleaner baler

[@joshp901]

I just purchased one of these bakers. Does anyone know what years they were manufactured.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Late 80s, early 90s

[@langer4602]

I've had 3 Nh 848 balers they work great if u don't push them to hard. Also buy another complete baler for spare parts u never no what ull need till u need it.

[@4bfarmsllc262]

Good looking bales.

[@larrycorey9596]

jam is jelly with the lid stuck

[@jimwalker2894]

I had a 848, run great and no issues till........it has a rubber roller and the rubber came loose and came off and fried a bearing, the dealer told me that the rubber roller part is obsolete, so you will need to find a another source to apply another rubber coating

[@powerram92]

I'm new to baking but can you tell if the bale is uneven in the baler since it's hard to see it the video

[@boehmfarm4276]

I can kinda guess a little.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌🇨🇦❤, squeaky bearings, a little oil and we roll

[@jakespoon8723]

I was wanting to know if you could do a video on how to hook up the hay equipment and how they work and how to get them ready for hay season and a walk around and an overview of the tractors and hay equipment?

[@brianlarie2770]

How is the net wrap set up? I run a 848 would love to convert it to bet wrap

[@boehmfarm4276]

The net is buried in the front of the machine. It's either twine or net, there isn't room for both.

[@train1962]

I am going to sound like a politician… The only comment I can make is, no comment. Thumbs up.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Good looking rolls. So much better than what you were making last year.

[@bbsandtts]

how fast do you go about? i just purchased an 848 and have never ran one.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Third gear.

[@bbsandtts]

@@boehmfarm4276 so like 4mph?

[@hoophil]

Hi Jacob! That baler is so cool! Glad it's working well for you.

[@ihd-3603]

Wonder why the augers push to the center? Usually you want to pack the edges of the bale to get a better looking bale. And I can’t wait until bale monitors are wireless (save for the two wires for the net wrap/twine actuator), it will be great. 😃

[@georgedoorley5628]

around here if the pickup is wider than the 4 ft bale chamber the 2 augers feed the crop into the chamber from the wide pickup ............you will make a better bale with a wide pickup and crop augers ., compared to a narrow pickup ........ crop can jam under the augers betimes , esp in wet silage .......

[@jankotze1959]

That was exiting, that 848 eat hay for breakfast, great video

[@jamesrivis620]

Wicked puffy windrows !!

[@bryanginder5903]

Mega wide! Lol!! Mega narrow for today balers!!

nice baler :) im a fan of the 855 baler..lol

i think you can get alot more money for those bales

[@thesmallscalefarmer1849]

Wow, that bailer is doing a good job! Are you going to keep the old round bailer.

[@boehmfarm4276]

I'm trying to stash the old one at my uncle's house.

[@jamesrivis620]

How exciting !! The windrows seem a tad too big at times.

[@gregorythompson2251]

And that's a wrap, insert cymbals

did yoy plant any toomy boy corn this year?

[@rogerfuhr8067]

You are definitely Mr. Fixit.

[@dustycreekfarm6093]

keep on farming

[@FF-lx9pr]

Those old chain balers would bale just about anything. If you can put it in a windrow it will would roll it. Well, everything but peanut hay. You do not want to put one in peanut hay.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Is it dusty?

[@FF-lx9pr]

Boehm Farm Sorry Yes. It’s very dusty. A lot of dirt which wears the chains out fast.

[@FF-lx9pr]

I have been baling many times when you could not see the baker behind the tractor

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Yay for net wrap.

One of those might be good for cornstalks, love having the net on our 648.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Now I just need a spectacularly dry fall to make corn stalk bales.

[@frankdeegan8974]

corn stalks are way too rough and abrasive on the equipment definitely not worth the price, an old baler, new to this farm, one they like and works well, corn stalks will prematurely end its life for sure.

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@frankdeegan8974 he COULD use the old baler for cornstalk bales, but yeah it's hard on it and will really wear it out fast, particularly a chain baler! OL J R :)

[@makingithappen5178]

Do you have to run drunk driving with this baler too?

[@boehmfarm4276]

Not if the windrows are raked big enough. The narrower bale helps to not have to weave either.

[@makingithappen5178]

@@boehmfarm4276 What a rest for the hands. The baler seems to be a good investment if it does not stop working.

[@retydeere1111]

Dang low pins, always messing up a strait windrow.

[@boehmfarm4276]

Size does matter, and need a shorter one.

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@boehmfarm4276 Get you a foot n a half long piece of old round baler belting.... cut the corners off the front end of it at 45 degrees, and then cut/drill a couple holes through it so you can insert a couple bolts up through it and through the hammerstrap bolt holes in the drawbar. Make sure you use big fender washers under the bolt heads before you insert them up through the belt and drawbar, then regular washers on top and lockwashers and nuts or locknuts, and tighten it all down. The belting will push the hay down and be pushed up by the hay against the underside of the baler or rake pin and hitch and prevent hay from getting hung on it and dragging along and balling up in front of the pickup. Later! OL J R :)

[@patrickkelly4070]

What horse power is your tractor, I was thinking about buying a baler

[@farmertyler8087]

Horse power is fairly irrelevant with most things hay, they make equipment small enough for the little bitty lawn mower things all the way up to 8r sized tractors. No matter what size ur tractor is you could find a peice of equipment that’ll do it just fine

[@patrickkelly4070]

@@farmertyler8087 I heard you need 100 horse power to run a round baler.

[@georgedoorley5628]

@@patrickkelly4070 yes you would in silage with a chopper turned on ........... without a chopper 80 will do if you take yourtime and do not have steep hills to climb .........have a claas 46 here , take it slow and make very hard bales ........

[@ghenry85]

@@patrickkelly4070 Depends on what round baler you want to run. A New Holland 630 or Hesston 530 or 540(4x4 belted balers) can be handled by a 50 pto hp tractor. The most common 4x5 variable chamber belted round balers lile the New Holland 640 or Gehl 1460 can be handled by a 60 to 65 pto hp tractor. The Claas 46 is a fixed chamber round baler which do need more power to run, so needing 80 hp doesn't surprise me. If you want to go small square, I like 50 or 60 pto hp to make solid bales in almost any set of conditions. But you can go as low as 40 or what ever the original hp suggestion was from the manufacturer. I hope this gives a bit of clarity. Hope you find a suitable tractor/baler pair.

[@lukestrawwalker]

@@patrickkelly4070 I run a 5x6 foot Ford 552 round baler at 6 mph baling heavy windrows with a 72 engine horse (about 62 PTO horsepower) Ford 5610S tractor... Course that's a 40 year old baler that doesn't roll up rock hard bales. If you get a new(ish) baler and crank the pressure all the way up, it'll roll a bale so hard it's like a concrete block-- AND it takes a h3ll of a lot of horsepower and fuel to do that. Really not necessary IMHO. "Tight" is tight enough for a bale, it doesn't have to be harder than granite tight! Backing off the pressure a little maybe means a few more bales to move (more bales to sell which is a good thing) and it takes a H3LL of a lot less horsepower and fuel to roll the bale, and a LOT less pressure and wear/tear on the baler itself. Later! OL J R :)

That baler looks like it was originally sold at harbor freight.
