nicely filmed and set to dead right music. I love it when you put these harvest videos. Pure ASMR. Thanks tom....

And so the end of the farming year makes way to another one, nearly. Hope it's been a good year, Tom, Mrs Tom and team. All the best for the next farming year (once the harvest is in obvs).

[@justinworton1504]

That shot of the harvester, trailer and baler all running alongside each other was cool. And how amazing is that little baler!! Awesome stuff.

Thanks Tom for this epic video! We in Switzerland already harvested our main crops. (w. w. ,s. b. and canola) At the excat moment that I'm this coment, I'm sitting on our MF 5S tractor drilling canola for next year...! Isn't that amazing that I can watch your videos, a I'm sitting on a MF tractor aswell? Thanks to GPS I only need to realy pay attention while turning on the headland!

Like it. I now see that that big square bailer makes big square bails. The ones I remember are those much smaller ones that the small basiler made and were grouped into the small stacks with the front loader. All great to see. Thanks for making and sharing!!

[@jamesg2987]

Would be great to see why you square bale over round or vice versa. Great video as ever tom

[@flyerphil7708]

Safer for transporting and easier stacking I would say.

[@jg374]

From what I've heard, squares are more space efficient for transporting and storing undercover. They can also be broken up into small "biscuits" to feed out little bits at a time, which is much harder with round bales. Round bales can cope with being stored outside in the rain better due to the orientation of the stalks effectively forming a thatched roof. Square bales leave the end of stalks exposed and allow water to get in more easily. One way around this I have seen is to stack many square bales into a wall then place a plastic sheet / dome on top to move the water away. Round balers often use net wrap instead of baling twine and knotters, which makes them significantly simpler mechanically. I hear the net wrap also helps somewhat with waterproofing, but twine is much easier to repurpose later on :). The big factor is what equipment is available to make, transport, store and dispense the bails (baler, size of tractor and forks relative to the bales, shape and design of hay rings,size of herd and amount to feed out at once). If we are making our own hay then we tend to do round bales as that is what the equipment we have can do, whilst the neighbours making hay to sell tend to make large square bales. Small square bales tend to be higher quality stuff for situations and people looking after a small number of animals at a time (a sick cow in a yard or a hobby farmer with only a couple of animals for example).

[@alexandermcintyre4871]

really superb video tom

[@Tomlamb980]

Thanks

[@TheVillageIdiotUk]

Great drone footage ! (Again !) Lots of cutting, combining, baling here too down in Dorset - sun and no rain for once, 29C, means a small window (between 11:43am and 11:45am 😊) for decent moisture content for the grain. We have possibility of thunderstorms forecast late Wednesday or Thursday so the boys and girls of the land are under pressure. I wish them all well and work safely.

[@Tomlamb980]

Hey man, great vid, lovely shots. How do you decide to harvest /plant? Is there a pattern per field? Do you start one bit then base the rest around that? Do you coordinate much with the second harvester? Clarkson's farm and you i have so many questions!

[@andrewjeffs1839]

Hi Tom,great video… how many tractors do you run ??

[@mattinthehat6780]

Great video tom. Here's a question though. Why can't you tow the bailer directly behind the combine? Seems like you'd save a man and a machine that way. Originally I thought it was because you need a few days in between to dry or something, but here you're doing both tasks simultaneously

[@Tomlamb980]

Sometimes you need to let it dry but this field it was alright

[@mattinthehat6780]

@Tomlamb980 so could you run like a train? Combine towing the bailer directly behind? Maybe even have that stacker/organiser trailer directly behind it too.

@@mattinthehat6780 yes I’ve seen it done before in Australia where it’s really hot

Another wonderful video thank you. Quick question, how does it work with the combine harvesters, do you own your own, or do you hire in from other farmers or from a company?

[@Tomlamb980]

Own

[@dakaargamer]

think we could get a video that features the plough? why does it need turning either end of the field? plough vs subsoiler vs cultivator? dont really know the difference

[@dfross87]

The plough turns so that the furrows are all in the same direction. One side turns the furrows to the left, the other to the right. When you turn the tractor you need to turn the plough too so that all the furrows roll in the same direction.
