One huge paddock, marathon effort Dennis, well done to all that helped, Dad, Shannon.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@faithplusnothing2668]

Wow! definitely is some beautiful hay . Wish I could have been there to catch some of that aroma . Love seeing the rolling hills as well! Haying videos are my favorite. Brings back childhood memories. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@DLHFarms]

It did smell awesome!

[@dennisryan7487]

Good Job Shannon! Dennis, You are so Blessed!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks! Yes we are!

[@robinlance]

Dennis, Why do I get the feeling when Shannon is working and talking I feel that I should sit down and shut up and Listen to the teacher. It must be my child hood of a teacher making sure I had her attention.

[@DLHFarms]

Haha I have the same problem with her

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Hello Dennis, tell Shannon she is brilliant at baling hay. So good to watch.👍😊🇮🇪🇺🇲

[@DLHFarms]

I will tell her thanks!

[@donstravelsandrants.]

Cool.👍😊

[@almyers8074]

Good morning Dennis, Shannon and Dad!!! Fields of gold to golden bales.

[@DLHFarms]

Amen

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

Nice video Dennis. All the hay looks good this year. Glad to see you have some good help.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@ianbetts4435]

Good family effort making hay while the sun shines.👌

[@DLHFarms]

Yes!

[@ericstyer2890]

Hello Dennis I like your system nice neat bales currently I use an John Deere 327 baler John Deere #40 ejector and when I bale hay is off. Shannon is a awesome baling hay I enjoy watching her bale. Thankyou Shannon. Would be nice meet yous one day. See you then have a good Sunday

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@conrayjones9290]

if you stop fo 20 seconds to unload a bale and you bale 120 bales that adds up to 40 minutes wasted. Good figure. Love your videos keep them coming.

[@DLHFarms]

That’s a lot of wasted time

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Great video Dennis! Glad you had plenty of good help.

[@DLHFarms]

Me too thanks!

[@DonegalTDI]

Great family team work 💪💪

[@DLHFarms]

Yes!

You baled, your dad baled, Shannon baled, and Gavin BAILED! Cuzza it bein work n all... 🤣

[@DLHFarms]

Haha Gavin got him a Cat service truck now

[@justinwatch]

@@DLHFarms Good lord. If that things got AC, now all he needs is an old barn to park behind in the shade so he can sleep and a fellas got it made.

[@DLHFarms]

Bahaha

[@johnbarefield733]

I like your videos I'm from Texas

[@jontanner6878]

Good team work! Really dry up here in Pa… not much hay to be made, hopefully we get some water for third crop. Great vid!🇺🇸

[@DLHFarms]

Praying for rain for y’all

[@jrgenthomsen3841]

Amazing video you got a great team 😀😀👍

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@tonygough8713]

Shannon tell Dennis to buy you a Kubota to bale with. Ha. Good videos thank you.

[@DLHFarms]

No kubotas allowed

[@eof3100]

The New Holland square baler sure has worked well for you.

[@DLHFarms]

Still banging out some nice bales

[@southtexashay777]

Dennis got the wife to stack and load some rounds, still learning but she is patiently getting it. Have a great day!!!

[@DLHFarms]

Just takes practice.

[@southtexashay777]

@@DLHFarms Thank you sir. Slowly but surely.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@stoddern]

Check out the Sonne Farms channel and their round baler, they got an accumulator on it that lets them drop all their bales in a line so they are all in one part of the field for pick up as well as dropping on the go

[@DLHFarms]

If you drop on the go here they will roll off the mountain somewhere

[@rare_wubbox360]

Dennis, ive seem som new balers running without stop.. one of them was a Kubuta i think..👍🇳🇴

[@DLHFarms]

Can’t do that here you have to carefully place each bale or they will roll off down a hill

[@docmagame9089]

Love that Virginia countryside. How's that new Massy doing?

[@DLHFarms]

Doing great!

[@dougvaldivia3395]

yep its dusty...time to get it up

[@bjenkins803]

You need to work more often lol. Nice video!

[@DLHFarms]

I agree! We need to petition for longer days and more sun in each day.

[@bjenkins803]

@@DLHFarms Lol. I always say if you are hotter you'll sweat more and stay cooler lol. Seems right.....

[@mikesavage9325]

Great you have plenty tractors and family to drive them all Dennis. You sounded alittle disappointed , like you were going to miss out doing alittle bailing when Shannon was quick to come out and help you bale . Am Pleased Shannon enjoys baling on the 5711.When you said you don't like using the 4710 on the bale grab was the reason just the weight of it ? Am enjoying your videos. Mike

[@DLHFarms]

I was disappointed a little I like square baling, but that’s ok I’m glad she came. The only reason I don’t like using the 4710 for that is because the tie grabber is so heavy it’s hard on the tractor.

[@ronvarner9327]

Which tractor transmission do you like the best? You should do a video on it.

[@DLHFarms]

Depends on what I’m doing. If the dyna 4 was a dyna 6 definitely the dyna. My Deere has a 24 speed so it’s easier to find just the right gear but it has those mechanical shifts for the ranges.

[@cuffy69]

If my math is correct, 100 rolled bales costs you 35 minutes. @ 20 seconds per bale. The one I like is that square baler that makes huge bales like 6 feet long by 4 feet. Not sure if that's right but close. With those you never stop.

[@DLHFarms]

Never stop but not affordable or practical for a small operation.

[@DumdocMTL]

Hey Dennis, what model is your Kubota rake? Will it make/rake 2 rows instead of 1 (will 1 rotor wheel reverse)?

[@DLHFarms]

It’s an RA2072. No it can’t do that only rakes to the center.

[@franklinbrooks9506]

Christian Bales…

[@georgiaswampman4542]

Down here I like to bale under 13 %. If I’m storing in the barn that is. I don’t use a preservative though

[@DLHFarms]

I will bale up to 17 percent on small squares without preservative never had a problem

[@johnkensek3907]

Do you ever have problems with the accumulater dumping the bales on the steeper hills?

[@DLHFarms]

Occasionally but usually does pretty good

[@dennismourits3362]

how heavy is your bale of hay and straw and how high and how wide are you making them

[@DLHFarms]

Hay is 55 to 65 pounds depending on moisture. Straw is about 45 to 50. They are 14x18x36 inch’s

[@williammatzek4660]

Equipment last longer stored out of the weather. You look like you are in a race! When I bale I don't have an easy chair in the AC.

[@DLHFarms]

It is a race always against the weather.

[@williammatzek4660]

@@DLHFarms I agree, it's a race in south central Kansas. If it rains!!!

[@jrbpa5775]

If your customers would take the bigger squares, don’t have to stop to dump. They won’t roll down the hills and safer to haul instead of a big wheel of hay… thx for the video !!

[@DLHFarms]

Most of my customers don’t even have a tractor. The farmers that I sell my rounds too are only set up to feed rounds

[@DLHFarms]

Also a big square baler is about $250,000 😬

[@jrbpa5775]

Yea, I watch Lonely Farmer bale big square hay. All his equipment is very big to handle the weight…

[@DLHFarms]

@@jrbpa5775 yeah it’s a different world, different market.

[@dannyboy6332]

Curious, what ground speed are you bailing at?

[@DLHFarms]

Probably about 2.5 to 3mph in this crop. I’ve been down below 2 in heavy crop and I’ve went as fast as 9 in light crop

[@dannyboy6332]

@@DLHFarms thank you for answering.👍

[@JROC734]

Dennis, you should buy a Kubota. Judging by your subs comments, you'd likely break the million subscriber mark. I guess everyone realizes that only Kubota's are good, and JD, MF, NH, CIH, etc are just not good machines, and it's truly impressive how you're able to get the work you get accomplished done seeing as how you don't own a Kubota tractor. Must be the rake.?.? EDIT: after watching farther I see why people are recommending you get a Kubota. Lol

[@DLHFarms]

Negative

[@gavinhowell2833]

Kubota’s last forever and do the job good

[@DLHFarms]

Haha
