KUHN VB 560 VS JD Bale Comparison

[@kuhnnorthamerica]

Really great video, Ryan! We're happy see the VB 560 worked very well for you.

[@jasonkotara2135]

Why so slow?

[@FoolOfATuque]

That gate opening and closing time is pretty amazing. We have a JD 459 baler with mega wide pickup, high flotation tires and bale ramp. The density is comparable to the Kuhn I would say. It rolls some really tight bales.

[@hungary191296]

I'm glad this comparison wasn't a crap on one and brag on the other. I've watched videos that would (using your balers for example) say that they Deere baler was old, outdated and doesn't do the job of baling. Then they'd praise up and down on how the Kuhn was a far superior product. I like that it was more of a here's what this one does and what that one does. Good job, keep it going and be safe.

[@OldTimerDave]

Always interested in see you with the new technology out there.... it amazes me how much things have improved in the last 40 years in farming.... thanks for all you do Ryan and thanks for bringing this to us

[@flatbedtruckergaming2974]

I’d be interested to hear your dad and Travis’s thoughts on the bales. But a comparison of a new JD baler vs is would be interesting to see too

[@donparker8246]

I love that you're showing how all this equipment works. The view from the drivers seat is great.

[@cashcow9584]

A trick I've picked up with our New Holland, If you drive ahead when opening the tailgate they tend not to roll as bad when ejected.

[@Tired_Geek]

I love the side-by-side of the bales, as well as the video you did when they delivered the baler. It was nice to see a good comparison!

[@jimsullivan9710]

Impressive how the gate soft closes. Really nice feature.

[@leonardkerns6602]

The new bailer is impressive. Really good looking bail.

[@NEAFarmKid4010]

That baler works extremely well! We have a John Deere 458 at the farm where I work, and the bales are a lot less dense. Then again, the faster you drive, the less dense they tend to be, and that's definitely a factor with ours lol

[@benflint9877]

Once again awesome video,real honest review this is why you are my favorite small farm channel.

[@wnrailway]

I was impressed how far that one bale rolled. Thanks for making these videos.

[@tomasbyrne6571]

Irish viewer here. Very surprised at 1 bale to the acre. Here the average is about 10-12 in any crop. Very good video. Enjoy see how yous do things different

[@drewwilke1733]

Now I want to see you try out a Vermeer pro series baler. Just from watching this I think I could beat that Kuhn on cycle times. With the Vermeer as soon as the tailgate is up the tractor is moving down the windrow before the gate is even shut. That’s a big advantage in the baling game. Might only be a few seconds but those seconds do add up over a few hundred bales in a days time

[@not_me3286]

They've been working on this one for some time. Cycle time wouldn't matter much.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWrOXqZsZtWUoLc

[@DiscGolfing]

Love the suspenders!!!

[@ronaldjennings8057]

I really did like the way that the Baylor worked tight fit Works real well for you wish you and your family the best this year

[@dylanmidkiff6669]

Some of the nicest bales I've seen, congrats buddy.

[@matthewchoma8271]

Ryan i have to say its really nice to watch your videos. You explain how and why you do things and I think that's great for viewers that may not know what your doing. Keep up the great videos!!

[@donk6737]

Good Video. Very impressed with the Kuhn baler. Will consider Kuhn for my next baler purchase. Thank you!

[@christaylor1533]

Awesome looking bales, Kuhn always makes good equipment!!!

[@larrynicholsiii8562]

Awsome video, that bailer looks really nice, never thought i would se the 82' n a round bailer

[@jddriver9565]

wow the 8235R and the Kuhn baler look so nice! Love the vid,thanks!

[@afarmerslife992]

I love that combo! They ain't no such thing as overkill! Great baler and video as always! Thanks for posting Ryan!

[@jdquebedeaux]

Thanks for the video Ryan! It is good to see the 8235R in the field again.

[@ezekielwillmott9735]

Thanks for the video Ryan. Now I need to get up and go round bailing here in New Zealand!

[@markdobson8513]

That was nice of you to shovel the hay off the road. Enjoyed your video. Thanks

[@dankarp5477]

Love the videos Ryan. Can't wait to see you and the baler down at the valley. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

[@mendozamedoza6737]

like seeing the 8235r working

[@t.s.tractorworkstrickland5828]

That new Baylor does a good job

[@daleley7645]

Saw that hooked up a while bsck, glad to see it in action.

[@23431]

What a great baler and I think the orange and green make a great color combo and of course NOTHING RUNS BETTER THAN DEERE

[@Adam_Poirier]

Great video man! It’s amazing how tight the sides of the bales look

[@scorpionsedge]

Enjoyed the video as always. Your mom kicking out your dad was hilarious! LOL

[@richdillon2157]

I have been waiting to see how well The New Kuhn Baler worked out, Not that I have any hay to bale ! Impressive I'll say that. Fast and Compact Bales. And hell yes we all make mistakes with something new, Your Human. Good job and on to the next field of hay. Thanks Ryan. Hey, Miss Hannah in your Video's, Got to get that Intern back to work.

[@nogeek43]

Ryan, thanks for the new baler video. You are really a pro at drone flying and getting better at baling on the new Kuhn baler.

[@KingRanchW]

This video was awesome I love your channel and I have been watching your videos for about 3 years and love learning about farms my goal is to be a hay farmer one day in I couldn’t believe how big of a difference the Kuhn made. I’ve sent you some Snapchat’s and I have never seen a bale get catapulted into the bushes besides in farming simulator. Keep up the good work and you are awesome farmer and I hope to be as good as u one day

[@MichaelBerger1354]

I loved watching the Kuhn baler in action. Great video!

[@tonyburelle6633]

I like that Kuhn baler very much

[@not_me3286]

Guessing that hay on the road was from that last bale without net, possibly. It unrolled when ejected, and the hay rode on the ramp. Possibly some would have been closed/pinched in the gate too (not good possibly). I saw some earlier on the ramp, possibly from when you didn't have the gate closed all the way. If the bale was ejected before the road, I watched the video last night and forget if the road travel was after that. And if that hay was from the baler and not other equipment. I have an old JD 535 baler, 1996 model with the green pickup (last year, better pickup than the earlier ones, rarely plugs or anything, starts easy). Also has the kicker (wouldn't have one without an ejector/ramp or something). It had over 15,000 bales on it when I got it, ...18 years ago.... I only do about 1,000 bales/year (some neighbors do 15,000/year), and I buy several truckloads as well. I've never had a major breakdown with it. I've replaced 4 bearings before they were fully out (caught when I was going through it for the year, they weren't all out, I just replaced the bearing on the other end of the roller while I had it out, the ones that were bad were just a little dry), 2 in the field (I "smelled" them, end of the day, no downtime). One set of sprockets, one chain (that I had on some old equipment, so didn't cost anything). One pickup wheel pulled off on an ant hill, broke some bolts, I was down a couple hours. Plus sized the belts on it one time. I paid about $12k for it, less than or around $1000 in repairs/parts, and only a few hours of downtime in all these years. It paid for itself easily.... I do need to upgrade, and kinda need to get something with net. Deere is first choice, but I've always been "fond" of Vermeer (I got the 535 at the Vermeer dealer...). Kuhn, never seen any of their equipment in person. But, by the look of it, looks ok. I wouldn't get one this "fancy" though, pickup has a bit much to it. It would have to be 5x6, nobody uses smaller. And 1500-1600lb bales is what people like to load on trucks (for weight).

[@mikebauer9202]

Mom got to drive the nice truck. Use the MoCo to mow your lawn. Get the Inturn to clean the 82. Time to get the bugs out of the 82 before harvest.

[@nickolasburger5999]

The Baker video is very interesting to watch and learn what's coming out or going to be new on the market.

[@michaelchism6637]

Enjoyed the video. Can't wait to see how it does in the Valley

[@dennispowell1526]

I love how dense the bales are. When I was a teen and baled hay, we could not make any adjustments and the bales were very loose.

[@thomson125]

Nice to see the 82 in the field.

[@timadams2042]

Drone shots are great!

[@craigmilne2792]

Great video as usual Ryan. Awesome clarity and colour.

[@MrBigrigdaddy]

Thanks Ryan

[@Wizrd378]

Looks like an awesome bailer. Modern technology...makes things better I think.

[@morganottlii2390]

NOT a JD baler fan, but I also have learned a bit about Kuhn, and their equipment seems to be lacking in durability. It's always great when new, but after a few years things suffer from use, and not lack of maintenance.

[@jaybergman2306]

I really enjoy your videos. Nice to see the new equipment in action.

[@RKHarm24]

Very good first view of the KUHN baler in action. Newer and should be better technology/engineering than the older proven JD baler. Both balers have the same basic operation. The KUHN just uses improvements available now to hopefully make the operations smoother and more efficient. This would be a very good addition to the farm. You did discuss the 82 was overkill, but it is what you have. I totally understand that. What HP or Weight tractor would be an optimum size for the KUHN?

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Always nice to run new equipment.

[@daveblodgett9371]

Rock? I don't see no stinkin rock! Lol and I solely love this video cuz of the suspenders.

[@johnogrady9931]

Good video, would love to see a McHale baler over there

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Putting the Kuhn bailer on the 82 is a tade overkill, but its better to have to much that not enough in case you need to power out of problems. Great video Ryan....

[@austinjones5981]

Awesome set up, Ryan! My folks let a gentleman bale some pasture land and he used a tractor with about 220hp to pull a JD round bailer. Overkill ain’t bad!

[@piercebraatz5279]

The baler is actually pretty cool. Good looking bales. Love the vids

[@jefferymohney7557]

Great video Keep on keeping on and stay safe out there.

[@sabastan2]

You know I had asked one time about the baler and have you ever rolled one down in to the valley and I was told it can happen but so much. Well you all most lost the fence there...lol looks like a nice machine there.

[@dking749]

Good video. Nice explanation. fun to see what you are doing in your fields. wild seeing you fight the smoke. we ear 30 miles from one of the sources and having quite a time drying grapes into raisins with filtered smoke.

[@nashcobb3056]

this was good with all of you working at the same time

[@stikerdegrey]

Love watching and learning something new

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! The Kuhn does a great job. Now if they made it in green it would fit right in!!

[@tedwpx123]

👍Cool maybe the next generation balers will roll the bales back to the barn

[@billbonaguidi2855]

Thanks for another great video Ryan. I really enjoyed this one!

[@JamesDavis-fo7or]

Not a farmer but impressed with Kuhn

[@memyselfandifarmer]

I brush hoged all my second cut, too late, wet and cool to bale for the horses Nice Kuhn. Postie note's.

[@ginggur17]

The 82 looks a beast in line with that baler. Tidy.

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Vlog, the Kuhn baler seems to be the story with firm and even bales. well done

[@patkelly7999]

Good stuff Ryan, that baler makes a nice decent solid looking bale:):)

[@ryanharris20]

love the video, and i wear your hat almost everyday and could use a new one lol. good luck with all that downed hay

[@thevafarmer7749]

Ever think about chopping silage again for your cows like for your downed corn and stuff

[@flanneryfarmandgenealogy]

Enjoyed the baler video and also will be interested in the knives work in the next. Kuhn seems to be awesome stuff.

[@SomeGuyFromOttawa]

Got the 82 so may as well use it! I'm sure that power and stability will come in handy in the Valley! Love the videos Ryan!

[@ianhaggart1438]

Hellooooo. " THATS A WRAP FOR TONIGHT" 😂😁😆. Great machine and nice seeing that big jd getting something else to do. Are you running a new drone or camera as that aerial shows were impressive very sharp. Well done 👍 😊

[@Robertshrawder76gmail.comTract]

That baler is did a job I can't wait to see what does in the valley

[@jacobschlais7818]

I really enjoy the videos! Keep up the good work!

[@chadrotvold2058]

Hey Ryan & Travis I'm from Minneapolis,MN, I follow your videos they are very interesting.

[@augustreil]

Always a great video, love the wheels on those balers !

[@danbingen4708]

Another great video!

[@SimonKL11]

The baler makes some nice, dense bales👍😉 looking forward to see it working in the valley😁👍

[@jamiestrout1991]

My buddies put 40,000 through a kuhn 2/3 have been silage bales have replaced one roller and it could use belts but it's still running

[@tunintunin3417]

Not a fan of French machinery but that Kuhn seams to be a good machine.

[@SuperJohndeere4020]

I like bailing, didn't get to bale as much as I would have like to. But cool to watch.

[@stevemueller3705]

Love your videos! Keep them coming.

[@andrewsadler7701]

Have you ever thought of doing Square vs round. And why does round bales work better for y’all?

[@_________________________9790]

You have so much energy I love it 😂

[@marknewman5847]

Looks like it's making nice bales 8235 looks really good out there making hay

[@1995jug]

I like the baler i am a kuhn fan.

[@douglasrdeaton]

Looks like it ran pretty smoothly 👌 👍 😎

[@jakehice2275]

Great video keep up the great work!!!

[@waterskiingfool]

Nice video. Makes some nice bales. Hopefully you can make some money off them this winter

[@connordanielson3048]

Thanks for the great video Ryan that baler looks nice

[@tokencivilian8507]

It would be interesting to run an equal diameter Kuhn & JD bale across the scale to get a like-to-like comparison in how much actual material is in there, to go with your subjective assessment of the relative bale density. Here's hoping that plenty of bales come off the field near the river.

[@genechronister7085]

We use an accumulator on our j.d. round baler. Alot less travel on the fields.we feel we have more tonnage now,with the bales on one end of the field only

[@fernandoperez2682]

La Khun es una maquina de medio pelo, del monton!

[@richardpoe2461]

Great video! I always have looked forward to seeing your videos! How much does that baler cost?

[@maxobara1496]

Great video, keep drone shots coming

[@billwhitman1529]

On your hills (like ours) the bale kicker will be problematic. You'll get used to it to some degree but it will keep you watching.
