Loading Dry Van with Only a Norden Hay Squeeze

[@boomersudden6257]

Welcome back Dennis. Hope the Wife and kids are doing ok. We got a blizzard coming in tonight, I always think of you when it snows.

[@DLHFarms]

Send some of that my way. Wife and kids are doing great!

Thank you!

[@BDN557]

Your ears must have been on fire because I was just thinking of you earlier yesterday about how I haven’t seen a video from you for a while. Glad all is well. Always a good time watching your videos.

Great to see a new video but I do understand the need for sleep. 😊😊

It's that time of year again to break out the snow gear! I always look forward to your snow removal vids. Be safe out there and take care!

[@DLHFarms]

Wish we could get a good snow

[@davidd463]

We use road hay squeezes with 3 tie small bales on the west coast to load various types of trailers. I’m sure as you get used to it you’ll find more efficient ways to move and load stacks. Appreciate your videos I really enjoy seeing how people farm and move hay in different parts of the country. 🇺🇸

I’m not one to comment on videos, this is my first KZbin comment ever actually. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and am glad to hear you and your family are well.

[@DLHFarms]

Well glad to be the first channel you commented on haha. Thanks!

[@chuckpreston4981]

Really glad to see you again. I know that you're extremely busy with work, farm, and family. Burning the candle at both ends is frustrating and exhausting. Hopefully things will even up for you so you can get the rest and relaxation your body and mind need. Before you took making videos it was apparent that you were frazzled and exhausted. Take care of yourself, your family needs to come first and you can't do what is needed if you're totally run down. Thanks for the video, it was entertaining and educational, as usual.

[@Volfarmer]

Such a cool piece of equipment, it looks super handy. I bet you were happy to get it to save from hand stacking all of it. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@samuelscragg7052]

Definitely fix the leaks. Good hay doesn’t need to be wet. You work hard at producing a good hay product and most definitely need for it to be dry.

[@bradygray424]

Was wondering about your shenanigans just the other day glad for the check in

[@misfire88]

Great to see you again! My two year old son loves your videos. If he wants to see tractors or hay, we come here. Good to see you are ok.

[@DLHFarms]

Awesome! Thank you!

It's great to see you again. I've been remodeling a house to rent 7 days a week for 23 months. It is nice to sleep. I got about 3 months left and I can sleep. Thanks for sharing with us when you can.

[@DLHFarms]

That’s rough! I hope you get some sleep soon.

[@HamiltonServices530]

I miss seeing your videos Dennis. I was really looking forward to more snow plowing videos this winter. Not sure if you still have the VDOT contract?

[@DLHFarms]

We do still have the contract just no snow. We haven’t had enough snow to get out and push in almost 2 years.

[@HamiltonServices530]

@@DLHFarms Wow! Didn't realize that. Good to know you are still out there and all is well. And glad you are getting some sleep.

Hey Dennis, glad to see more of your videos. I do small bales and use a grapple setup and I find your videos super interesting and helpful. Thanks again

[@gatecity5284]

I was wondering where in the world have you been. Glad to see ya can't wait to see some snow removal videos this year.

[@dukeboy-6645]

I was just thinking the other day I haven't seen any DLH vids for a while, I was about to cuss youtube.

[@DLHFarms]

Hopefully it will snow again here one day

[@rons4778]

There’s 8 foot and 9 foot high vans here in a Australia and I imagine in the USA that’s why they hit low bridges oh it fitted under there yesterday good to see you back and that is a very nice finish on that concrete floor

[@DLHFarms]

They can’t be over 13 feet 6 inches here but they can certainly be shorter than that. Most all new trailers or after about 1995 are about the same inside the older ones you never know about.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Hello Dennis nice to see you. I think most would not repair trailer people are to greedy. I would since its my product inside. Enjoyed your video. Have a great day.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it’s their trailer and really their problem if it leaks but somehow it still seems like the optics of it would fall back on me and I want my product to be as good as it can be to the best of my ability.

I'd get some of that paint used to seal the roof on travel trailers and coat the top. Have a great day.

Shew that would be a lot of work for someone else’s trailer. I would do that to my own though if it needed it.

Good to see you Dennis! Its been a while for sure. At any rate, do what you can do for videos we all will enjoy them when you get them out to us! Physical and mental health are way more important. If only it will snow up there, missing those snow plow videos. Im sure im not the only one who's watched them over a few times🤣 take care.

[@DLHFarms]

We can’t seem to buy a snow flake for the last two years. It gets cold and dry then warms up and rains then dries up and gets cold. It never seems to line up.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Walking floor trailers work well for hay. They can load and unload themselves. They put one stack in and by the time they get back with the next stack it's been moved far enough forward to put another stack behind the first.

[@bjenkins803]

Man that was quick to load. Totally worth it.

[@DLHFarms]

Oh yeah

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

How many bales can you get into a 53 ft dry van? Bale Baron Bundles laid down, so the bales are on end There is about 4in clearance between the sides of the bundle and trailer walls..... We use a Ramp and 5045 Deere with a 512 loader that fits inside the trailer..... Each bundle is carried into the trailer and stacked on top of the last bundle.... We can put 36 bundles(756 bales) in a 53 ft trailer and close the doors... Being as we load bundles as soon as they exit the Baron.... so load time is the same as baling time, I would estimate a little over a minute per bundle...... A nice feature about our way is The person receiving the load can slide, a 2x4 between the 450 strength twines securing the bundle together and use a strap to drag the 3 bundle stack to the rear of the trailer and use forks to unload the whole stack....

[@DLHFarms]

I can only get 560 in a 53ft.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

Before we swapped over in June A Bale Bandit bundle was 18 bales and we could only get 540 bales(30 bundles, into the trailers,,,, The Bale Baron allowed us to put 63 bales in the same area where we could only put 36 bales before..... Cost to deliver remained the same while the value of the load increased...... (42,336 bales sold since the change over) This figure does not include the loose unbundled singles or 4x5 rounds we sell to to driven in customers or deliver to Plantations with livestock....
