Hesston 4910 In the Field

[@dexterscott33]

It is so nice to see the 4960, which burned to the ground, rebuilt, and running a baler again. Favorite tractor. Love it Wes!

[@thomasrouse3826]

Awesome job with those two machines. You took two pieces of equipment that a lot of people would have scrapped & put them back in functioning use. Thanks for taking us in KZbin land along for the journey! Hope the weather stays warm and dry for you.

[@ih1206]

That Heston looks like it’s working pretty damn good. The old 4960 is snorting good so its happy haha. It’s good to see it back doing its old job too. Tim’s doing a fine job running that baler. Once he gets over a few fields, he’ll be running it like a pro. Nice job fellas.

[@Loganlanfear21]

Imagine this setup in the late 90's. Top of the line

[@wht4132]

Tim = 4960. Good combination of Man Tractor and Baler. You can tell when that plunger hits. You can see a good puff out of the exhaust. Good to see the baler working well. Looking good Tim !

[@fatty409]

YAY TIM! What a sight to see there Wes. After having seen Tim grown up and watch him run this pair of machines is quite a feeling even for us. I'm sure you have a small amount of pride watching Tim get along with them as well.

[@onlygazza]

Great vid and it's a cracking looking outfit for Tim to learn the baling profession on. I love seeing older machinery doing what they were made for and that pickup design looks like it's taking the swath in with plenty to spare, big thumbs up from me 👍

[@larryfunk7514]

Wes great to see the 4960 working especially after all the work and time you put into that tractor and good second bayler

[@waynemurphy4119]

Good for Tim the bale master, new responsibilities is good for him. Glad it's working well.

[@11T872]

wayne Murphy dude, he is not 15 years old, he's grown as man🍺

[@MrT79shakeshake]

Ran one of these 20 years ago when working in the UK on a John Deere 7810 solid baler. Happy memories hearing the ram

[@canvids1]

Way to go and happy things pretty well came out the way you wanted them to Wes. Tim is in a whole new world now his favorite tractor and now hooked to a functional baler.

[@1944johndeerel]

Sure is nice seeing some of your older iron out earning its keep! That 4960 is a beast! Sure is nice seeing it out working again

[@boat6868]

Good to see it in the field and working as you had hoped. Also, it is cool that Tim has his own rig now.

[@markmortensen4341]

Looks like Tim is doing a really good job. Nice for you to have a second baler going and making good bales. Thanks for sharing.

[@jan-berendstoker6788]

Great job. Nice to see the heston working this well. Have a nice weekend.

[@robertdavis6708]

You guy;s put a lot of hard work into the Hesston Baler. Hard work pays off as one can see. Glad you've finally got a decent baler Son. 5 stars to William.

[@reneouellette9934]

Nice machine combo and glad to see it running.

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Shop videos are most interesting to me, but I watched the video all the way through - I like the live commentary a lot!

[@TravE85]

That’s awesome brother, when you bought the bailer and said it sat outside I thought you would have more problems when you hit the field, I know you know what your doing but I now have even more respect for your knowledge in bailing, this is impressive you are the man

[@grahampeters6609]

Hi Wes The Baler is A"MAKING HAY" from your recent post re the Mustang V12 sound it can sure make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I have had the privilege of witnessing and hearing the V12 roar from RR Merlin, RR Griffin, DB605, Allison 1710 all flying in Spitfire MK.1X, Spitfire MK.XIV, Spitfire MK.XVI, Hurricane MK.2, Mustang MK.D, Kittyhawk P40, ME 109G, all at Warbirds over Wanaka over the years. Goodluck with your Hay season. Regards from NZ

[@walkerv8530]

Awsome to see it working. I can see you will get behind fast stacking hay when the weather is in your favor now .

[@Blazer02LS]

Not if he has a couple other folks helping out.

[@deutzmans1]

Tim is getting into it by the end of the video and giving that 4960 a workout well done with setup and mods

[@Geeves8612]

Looks great. Definitely would like to see the Krone an the Hesston in the field together :)

[@orbits2]

how,s his drop seed baby doing ??

[@JDT-tk5fu]

Glad yall got it going bales look good. Not to mention Tim looks as happy as can be and I bet he would be as long as he is in that 4960.

[@corydevries3494]

Thanks for the input been around small square and big rounds but never one of those. 4960 good size horse and she blowing fair amount of coal

[@Ham68229]

Just gotta remember Tim doesn't have that experience you have with the big baler. He's learning, he's doing a good job. With anything that's used, and with all the work you've put in this baler, you still got some tweaking to do here an there. It'll work out in the end Wes. I could be wrong but, looks like the windrows could be a bit bigger than what they are but, if this has been down for 16 days like you said, explains why he'll have to go faster to shove that hay through. Great video, love the 4960 working, cheers :)

[@rogerquenault7207]

Glad to see all the hard work has paid off and hope the weather holds out for you

[@dhoop688]

Seems to be working nice. Very cool. Balls to the wall now brother!!

[@harmab2]

I love watching it work, want to see more of it please

[@stevelutzke9600]

Making some huge bales there right Tim? Easing into it like he should give him a couple of Weeks and you might see an attitude change as he feels like he’s contributing more in the process. Always the challenge with kids the think Dad gets all the glory and they do all the blank blank work! It’s all part of the process, just the same odds are he will feel like he’s more of an equal to the old man now. Great video Wes, looks like you accomplished what you set out to do. Now we just need to see that loader doing its thing picking those bales!

[@bwinford1561]

I like the extension on the bale chamber. Wish i would have done that to mine when i had it. I round bale everything now.

[@pedrobatista4439]

Hesston 4910 OLF Special Edition! Nice.

[@fk4515]

the question is when he's done with it can he flip it for what he has in it or more? Does he keep it as a back up long term or does he pick up a side line buying the older Hesston balers, modifying them running a few thousand bales through them and dumping them at break even or a profit?

[@pedrobatista4439]

I'm sure he will have a production line running in no time! The first one values at least three times more than what he paid. :)

[@leol1682]

Nice to see the Hesston 4910 in the field and the Famus 4960 at work .

[@ginggur17]

Love love love this set up.

[@craigschofield64]

AWESOME!!! The new show hits the airwaves..."Bail time with Tim"! Wes I have to admit I was bit skeptical on the extensions whether they would work better or create issues but you have proved to me ur the bailer expert extraordinaire😉 it is also great seeing Tim stepping into more of an active roll in making product and less of a supporting roll Both jobs are extremely and equally as important but having dad give you more responsibility in the family business because he knows you can handle it is always a great feeling. I worked for my dad for 20 years and it always made me feel good inside when dad would gave me more responsibility that said even after 20 years I dad still handed me the broom at the end of the day and said clean up the place ..lol He never let forget where I started from and reminded me every day not to look at any position as better than the next position that was the best lesson he ever taught me. At the height of my dad's career with over 100 employees dad and I cleaned the office every night and warehouse Saturday morning. He never gave anyone a job he wouldn't do himself, and even though I am several years older than you are your style reminds me of my dad. Your dad did right by you and taught you well.

[@stevelutzke9600]

Great feedback, my thoughts are pretty much the same. Years ago I got stuck doing all the prep work if it was scraping and cleaning motor parts or doing some less than fun task. When Dad let you run the show you knew that you had earned his respect and confidence that he could trust you to do the right things. Old school teaching methods the good fathers used to follow.

[@super6954]

It's good to see it in the field working, if you filmed that with a 90's VHS camera you wouldn't know it wasn't a classic field scene from the day. once tim gets used to that machine he'll fly pretty quick. When I'm baling straw I don't pay any attention to gears or revs. I drive the machine to crop flow and the noise the baler makes feeding it. I've been on 36 ft fairly heavy wheat swaths doing on average 11-12 km an hour on good flat fields. The guys land I'm baling is surprised how many I get out in 6- 8 hours baling at night when the heats dropped, with my string tie 688 Holland. for me net wrapping would increase production even more being stopped less , but it would be a bitch when it freezes to the bales in the winter with how I use them .

[@chriscreech716]

You and your family did a excellent job on that baler .Have a good day.

[@3535gt]

Great job on the baler. Glad to see it’s working for you.

[@GerraldFarms]

The bales look good. Job well done. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@t.c.bowling1934]

Nice baler and 4960 action. I bet the new cab kit is nice too.

[@steamfan7147]

I think you and the boys did a fine job getting that baler modified and field ready.Looks like it does stand up on wet ground better than the Krone though.

[@gerardbonus5354]

Here I am playing American Truck Simulator and hauling Hay with Pete and watching you! :)

[@tonygreen769]

That tractor does sound lovely!

[@openstationloggingkevinbak4625]

Congrats all the hard work looks like it paying off. May not be as fast as krone but will be a big help getting your summer haying done with 👍👏

[@fun2drive107]

Love seeing the Hesston working so well.

[@NebukedNezzer]

It's obvious that you know how to make the Hesston work properly. I hope it runs reliably and produces a lot of bails. WooHoo!

[@dejanira2]

Happy Dance per R. Peek! Good to see the Hesston as desired!

[@jamiebarker7577]

Outstanding, great stuff Wes

[@neilboser3478]

Right on Wes! Glad it all worked out great job.

[@codystout8137]

Glad to see the 4960 doing work

[@TheZwerfer14]

Old power and new power in the field. Nice job.

[@martinbenton742]

Excellent! All of that fabrication and hard work paid off! MB BAR RANCH

[@1996turbocamaro]

Wes, glad to see it in action now and that it is working well for you!

[@kevinwillis9126]

Working great Wes.. Thanks for sharing ..

[@mikecanaday5731]

An amazing job from a highly talented man with an uncanny ability to know where to hit the right part with a big hammer. Amazing god given talent.

[@2ToneWalt]

Its good to see the 4960 earning its keep again, its a good looking rig.

[@samueljoejr5191]

That 4960 and 4910 are working well!!

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Glad to see that Hesston working for you.

[@davidmashburn6890]

Looks good there wes the 4690 looks like it's doning a good job after the transmission rebuild back in the spring

[@JPilot2]

G'day, Wes! Thumbs up! ! Suggest: I too, noticed the new responsibilities are good for Tim. By the way, I was so glad to hear, it's working well. Thank you so much for the Hesston 4910 'Big Square Baler' Action In the Field!! Terrific job! Cheers! 😊✌🏼🚜💕

[@chrismorris308]

Glad to see you back in the field

[@forestlawrencegrading9154]

She just good job sir that's going to be a valuable part of your operation now you will catch up no problem

[@jetegtmeier71]

great to see Tim getting promoted best of luck to you all :)

[@hillvalleypedigrees2255]

You should put a bale from each baler beside each other to show us a comparison if you don't mind

[@davekessing2266]

My thougts excacly, still the krone will make a better bale, im pretty shure of that

[@hillvalleypedigrees2255]

dave kessing oh yeah defo but still be nice to see the modified 4910 to the krone

[@truckinchihuahuaalvieschre2494]

I think the Hesston is a taller bale though. I bet the Hesston in its day was top of the line. If I remember right Wes said it is an 2007. Not sure. But the Krone is king now. Who knows in 10 years John Deere will be king. Or New Holland... NOT! (with these Engineers they have now)

[@farmercraig567]

Good job on getting the baler setup the way you want it.

[@chuckychuck]

You're a damn good mechanic.

[@MrVailtown]

Great Work Wes! Tims moving right along. Get Grant trained in on bale stacking & summer gonna fly.

[@FarmerTom08]

Well done Wes ! Looks tidy !

[@edwardstreet9532]

CINC on the monitor is constant increase on the baler hydraulic density pressure. That should normally go away. It comes on when you first start with a empty chamber. If it doesn’t go out you have a problem. Looks good!

[@ryangaynor9715]

Exciting to see it in action and working as it should!

[@ghenry85]

Good to see your effort pay off. It's making the 4960 huff a bit but it doesn't seem to be that bad at handling it. Never used a big square baler but I did work a jd 327 small square when I was younger.

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Tim must be in 7th heaven! he gets his own baler and the 4960!

[@orbits2]

and a brown baby to boot

[@rongrose3746]

Lookin good, especially the 4960 !!

[@jamespetty9545]

Glad you got it up and running

[@ustinman8446]

Great maintenance and improvements . You're getting antsy, stick with it till it functions like you want, then run with it.

[@kennycraze]

Viewers may notice the baler lurching up on the draw bar with the extra weight of heavy wet hay on the bale extension. This is a consequence of the baler being a single axle as well. This is a worry if the draw bar connection is not completely secure.

[@tdgreenbay]

Nice baler... Nice to see that 4960 bark.... Tim's gotta be grinning. Case International was built by Hesston for a lot of years... so the Case International Gray works good

[@ReverseProof]

Thanks for that! Really good video, Wes!

[@martinmills8458]

Good job Wes, better get busy we have about a week of rain forecast for the plains coming your way.

[@duncanblanchard334]

There is a huge amount of pressure on the bale/strings as it eventually falls off the back onto the ground, why isn’t there a better way of getting the bale onto the ground. Great video Wes, looks like a good baler.

[@dirtshower250]

This is awesome, I think it’s a gateway Into another Krone down the road

[@joelthompson7564]

Good looking rig!

[@notelling8240]

This is the vid I've been waiting on Wes. It would seem your hard work has paid off. Watching this hesston go through the field makes me think I'm seeing the reason for the tandem axles on the Krone now. There is quite a bit of tongue dip when the tractor rears hit a low spot in the field. When that amplifies through to the rear it really shakes the tail. I could see where if conditions were just right it could cause that bale to bust just before dismount. What I'm curious about is in the same field with the same windrow thickness, just how much faster does that Krone go over the Hesston when both are being ran to full capacity. I'm sure it's significant but I'm merely curious by how much.

[@onelonleyfarmer]

No Telling that video will be coming soon

[@notelling8240]

Sounds good. Thank You Sir.

[@waynemurphy4119]

That will take a lot of pressure off of you, hopefully make your job easier with Tim help. Good job Tim.

[@hartsfire5706]

awesome looking.

[@Ticdaniel]

9:50min thats a intro 💪💪💪💪 really nice driven

[@frankdeegan8974]

Wes could you speed up the pickup and increase the ground speed to build the flakes bigger and faster that would keep the 4960 under a steadier load too ? Don't want to overload the baler though.

[@klc317]

Wow, works great! Nice work guys.

[@stephendunham9597]

I think you'll be fine!!! That baler is huge

[@rick9031]

Wes, off the wall question, when the hay is that wet could you just chop it to a semi and truck it right to the mushroom barn?

[@MrLordBaer]

always nice when you get ' proof of concept "
