Making dry hay

[@MickyBellRoberts]

I came over from Shane Holst and checked out your channel. Very nice, I have just subscribed.

Shane is a good guy. Thanks for checking the channel out and subscribing.

Wow ! Tie rods in front. That's factory. Usually the M Farmalls i see have aftermarket wide fronts Thanks Erik.

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

It's a one of a kind. It doesn't turn as nice as a Schwartz though. Thanks Bryce.

We bought a Hesston 4755 this spring and I can’t wait to go try it out! There was plenty wrong with it so we’ve been busy during this wet weather fixing lol

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

I hope you like it, they sure make hay making easier. I have 70,000 on mine so far. It's crazy how the weather is completely different from last year.

[@stephenkeller6894]

@@pinesedgefarm1155I’m optimistic that I will. They seem like a solid well built simple machine. Wow I would have never guessed your baler had that many bales on it. Ours has 54k and doesn’t look near as nice as yours. I smiled when I saw the dealership sticker on it. We are about 20 minutes away from there

Lovely looking bales. The comments section seems to like the front end of the red tractor. I rather prefer that long green hood on the 620. 👍🙂🚜

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Thanks Will! A little bit for everyone. LOL I would agree, newer, live power, power steering, dual hydraulics... Hope the flood waters are going down.

Nice alfalfa. Love the sound of that big IH mowing. Tedder makes a huge difference for us as long as hay is damp when you hit it. No way can we make dry hay yet with fields standing in water. What makes you choose round for some and big square for others?

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Thanks. The tedder is proving to be a good purchase this year. It's wet here as well. I usually round bale most of my grass hay, as those areas are small and low, my square baling rig is quite heavy. The alfalfa will usually get put into squares. In my opinion a square bale is easier to fine tune the ration in a TMR.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Perfect timing!! And a busy day!!

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Glad the rain held off. Thanks Ed.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

I absolutely love that M, especially the wide front. Never understood why Farmall put the tie rods and steering out front ,but that is sweet!! Then the Johnny Popper on the rake, man that makes a beautiful windrow!! The tedder worked great!! The dumbest question ever I know, but what is the deciding factor with round bales vs big squares? Thank you sir for bringing us along, look fwd to seeing what's next!! Boy you got finished just in time it seems!! 😳😳😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🚜🚜🌾🌽🌱🍻

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

I do too. I think it makes it not turn as well, oh well. It makes it a rare bird with that front end these days. I didn't know what to expect with the tedder, but it was a huge help in drying the hay before the rain. I like to round bale most of the grass/meadows because they are low and small areas, the square baler is heavy and not very nimble. Most of the alfalfa gets made into squares, they are easier to control the amount going into a TMR. I wish we could send you some of this rain. Thanks Nelson.😁🇺🇸🇺🇸👨‍🌾🚜🚜🛻🍻🍻

@@pinesedgefarm1155 Thank you sir for the info!! Makes sense on the baler!! 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻

[@Travis_Rivers]

Boy that M sounds awesome with that stack on there !

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

It sure does, thanks for watching.

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

Good morning Erik ☕☕☕ Still dragging my feet. Pretty good chance of rain coming up.... again 🙄 and haven't gotten done with the new baler yet. UHG...... I've seen a couple of fields cut, all light, quick drying. Ours isn't that light.

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

It's been a tough season here too.🍻🍻

[@brenterickson1695]

Those are some sweet old girls you've got working .......Glad to see you got a window for dry hay, it's going to be a while here.. too wet and too cool. Thanks Erik.

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Thanks, they make up part of my own fleet. I couldn't have asked for nicer weather, it's back to swamp fest. Thanks Brent.

[@Travis_Rivers]

Wow Red to Green !!! Whoa !!! Lol

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Yep, I usually have a mixture of brands.

[@crazydave4455]

Was waiting for some prairie gold action!

[@pinesedgefarm1155]

Hopefully during 2nd crop both of them will be out there. Thanks Dave.
