Beautiful hay and nice operation! We had an old Vermeer 504 Super I. It would clog if there was the slightest bit of moisture on the windrow. We couldn't start baling until after 12 and had to stop before the sun got low in the sky. They all have their peculiarities. . Glad you got it rolling again. Cool net wrap!

[@williambrewer6346]

We run the same 604Select, last year it was plugging more than normal.Our dealer support helped us solve the problems. They suggested removing the rubber flappers on the center top bars to allow the hay to fall down as it gathered in the baler. We also added rubber flappers {4" x 12" baler belt with self taping screws} to the augers on each side. While baling huge 4.5' x 2.5' wind rows a slower start is required. Also on super dry "low Moisture" days slow the bailer RPM down while increasing your forward speed. I have found 440 to 460 RPM works well. Happy Harvesting!

Great video Sir. God Bless America

[@gussoefje6430]

Had the same issue with our 5410 rebel. Has that guard in the pickup. I adjusted where the guard could go all the way up and I was able to go from like a 2 to like b 1. It restricted the amount of hay that could go in as far as I could see. Raefelt equipment is a good dealer. We just purchased a Vermeer 810 disc mower.

[@Amaranthian450]

How many wraps are you putting in the bales? I’m new to net wrap and going to be using it this summer on our new to us baler.

[@jeremycook2837]

John deere balers do that to. Start off slow lower rpm until your bale appers on the moniteor and then you should be good. Works for me.

[@nicholasalo7145]

Centex Wholesale in Lorena, Tx is also great for net wrap, tires, ect. Free delivery on Fridays too.

[@wallyyuriy8912]

Awesome video. Now u got me worried about my 605n lol. Hasn’t rained enough here since I bought it to know what it is like in thick hay. Baler still performing good after the adjustments?

[@GolschHayFarms]

Yes. Very well

[@joshuahutchinson6337]

I run 2 605N's and 1 has never been plugged, the other would occasionally plug and gradually got worse, and having 2 in the same hay and only one plugging I knew the one had a problem somewhere. Eventually found on the left side of the baler on one of the sprockets they put an aluminum bushing between the sprocket and the shaft and that bushing had slipped, providing enough tension in dry or lighter hay but it would slip in damp or heavy hay causing it to plug. Replaced the bushing and they both start anything the tractor will drive over.

[@krusejonathan01]

Very impressive crop. I knew all that rain y’all got would pay off. If y’all had a way to ship it north west this year I know it would pay huge dividends. Some of those folks I’ve been seeing have had 1/10th of their normal production.

[@nathanlivengood974]

I like it looks good. I like you setup also. Nice rig

[@billybobs841]

Thing in bottom at pickup is comperser rack and the spring is to make bale tighter im guessing its a bad bearing on your mainintake roller

[@boknight3269]

Check the level of the pickup head. On my new holland it’s gotta be level to almost leaning back a little to keep it from wanting to clog. Mines only clogging on the left side now and then.

[@rrmtnfarmer3273]

Have you had any issues with the flex rake? How do you think it would do in 5 acre fields with turns or is it only something that works with longer fields?

[@GolschHayFarms]

No not many issues at all. Just typical maintenance. Small fields aren't terrible. 5 acres us doable. We do those all the time. I wouldn't want it in smaller fields though. It's possible, but not ideal

[@rrmtnfarmer3273]

@@GolschHayFarms How does it do on tight turns as far as having the baler pick up the windrow or does it leave half of it if you turn real sharp?

[@michaelsailors7794]

That's some crazy thick hay. I like the flag net wrap. I need to order some and make some American hay here in Georgia. Great video and see yall next time

[@billybobs841]

The lift cylinders on the tailgate have alot to do with the bale tighnest. Hey change them quick connects thats probaly your problem if it is loosen hydrulic oil thats your problem bud give it a try and let me know if that works ...when tractor gets hot i bet the problems get worse

[@shadybrookangusfarms531]

With the plugging need to change the clutches our jd bailer was doing the same thing and we changed them and it fixed the problem

[@ronnierivera3991]

Is the video from a few weeks ago , when said net that don’t go on KZbin on Facebook?

[@GolschHayFarms]

Yes. We were having those problems a few weeks ago

[@ronnierivera3991]

@@GolschHayFarms I hate plugging these dang balers. I was on place the other day that I was getting about 6 bales an acre, I don’t run equipment big had yours and it took everything I had to get it finished. I could only go 1.3 mph. It was miserable.

[@brandoncreech8810]

How many wraps do you put on a bale? I put 2.5 on a 4x5 and get 300 out of a roll of net wrap.

[@GolschHayFarms]

We have it set to 3. But prolly about 2.75

[@treyhutchison4526]

How is the Mahindra holding up? Isn’t this season 2?

[@brushycreekbunch2124]

Our old Vicon did that and we would spend three hours digging it out so we got a John Deere and it will swallow some hay. I don’t have very much experience with Vermeer we just run there rake.

[@heathergrube3145]

The reason it only does it while starting a bale is because the core doesn’t start turning for whatever reason. I run 605n and only time I have that problem is if you happen to start a bale in a damp spot in field. Too high moisture will do it everytime. Once bale starts turning you can’t choke it down.

[@bryancovert9821]

Its the RED , WHITE , AND BLUE in the great state of TEXAS , YA'LL !!!!!

[@kerrybullard3831]

It's plugging because it is a Vermeer. We've tried 2 of them with no luck. You should try to demo a McCale baler it is really good baler. 10 to 1 better then Vermeer. It sounds like you have more luck dealing with your vendor then we did.

[@terryalextexas8638]

Where are y’all located?

[@billbates9098]

You should have a leaf blower with you and blow it out before you burn it down.

[@gilllandaverde8918]

Have you checked you chains?

[@chrisgilbert2152]

You can override the restriction on the drone

[@poparcherdunn3189]

Slow the ground speed and lower the baler pto rpm. Building a core.

[@donnacasey4872]

Your baler doesn't have stuffer teeth like a john deere. Its for getting the bale to start

[@BigTader]

You need to buy a Krone baler best on the market they're expensive but well worth the money.

[@houstonsides4005]

I like that net wrape

[@jasonburroughs5157]

Go back to a John Deere Baler. I have ran both & Vermeer is good and their service has always been good but the bottom line is, if you are going to run high production you basically have to run John Deere. We have had the same experiences that y’all are having.

[@GolschHayFarms]

She runs well now. But JD definitely starts a bale better

[@farming4g]

Vermeers have always been harder starting out of all the major brands mainly on a thick, heavy, wide windrow. Other than that they are simple solid machines and company support is the best out there as far as I'm concerned... even out of warranty they stand by their machines. Don't have to run JD to have high production, that makes no sense. Take any machine that's dialed in it will perform great regardless of paint color.

[@cirogarza3351]

Check you clutch by gear box tighten it up

[@gregkurtz4374]

Good stuff

[@mikew732]

Man the baler issues your having are no fun. The jd baler is better at starting a bale no doubt, but I understand the dealer support issue as well. I have the same issue with the jd dealer in my area, but over time I learned my equipment & tend to not rely on the dealer as much any more. Do you think you should have stayed with a 5x6 baler so your not making & handling so many bales? That's a lot of extra stops to wrap a bale so really increases the baling time. Then there's all the hauling & stacking afterwards. There's a lot of hay being made in Texas right now, that's for sure. How many acres was that field & what did the bale count end up at?

[@GolschHayFarms]

More money to be made on the 4x5s. We switched from the 5x6 bales to go 4x5. Definitely was a profitable move
