Making hand-made hay bales with a box baler

[@sharonallen6921]

What a fantastic idea. Not all of us need or can afford expensive equipment. This seems very much like what I need for my small acreage homestead. Thank you so much.

[@Beobout6]

Until now, I had no idea what I was going to get my wife for our up coming anniversary. Thank you.

[@daveb4026]

Be sure to make the wood box big enough that it can be rebuilt into your coffin

[@youmarali995]

Pretty sure hand mada hay bale isnt what she wants

[@leesmavicmoments5598]

That's OK for your rabbit. I suppose you skateboard it to the farm then.

[@intuii]

@@daveb4026 no worries, just press hard enough

[@KamranHaider]

Hahahaha, are you still alive after disclosing anniversary shoping plan. ☺️🙏

[@michaelbyrd2043]

You know I have seen boxes like that around old barns on my life and never realized what they were for thank you so much for showing us that

[@Bansheekilr]

I’ll probably never have to make a bale, but that home made contraption was well thought out. Nice job

[@me-ps3vb]

One of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I'm going to make my own hay this year as I'm very tired of paying for it and I can cut my grass with a scythe already just didn't know what to do without a machine to bale it . AMAZING

[@horseblinderson4747]

Look up some of the Latin kids balling their machine is allot more efficient.

[@jimjoslyn7222]

🐮😀🐫

[@tangokaleidos1926]

hay stacks! Even easier... much easier.

[@uhavemooface]

This was the way they did it back in the day and still do it in some places. This is incredible work.

[@MikeOrazzi]

I may have to start doing this. I just need to find a way to cut the hay longer first.

[@pamelamason6372]

Ingenious , how clever, well done!

[@archangel8322]

When I worked on a dairy farm, we wold put up 1200 bales in one day. I'm glad we didn't use that.LOL

[@zone4garlicfarm]

Those 1200 bales weighed 55-60 pounds each. You put up the equivalent of 4,200 of those hand made bales.

[@We_are_the_light]

I bale small bales with a 5 gallon bucket for my hens bedding. 30 small bales store very nicely

[@yurisabrori]

This is life changin machinary in developing country. Thanks

[@paulbriggs3072]

Splayed out throat pieces like a funnel at the top would help make the unruly hay stay where you can stuff it easier

🤣😂

Right like youtube tryna teach us how to go off grid

[@maina4576]

Wonderful innovation

[@TrickleCreekFarm]

This is a fantastic build option- great for a youngster to try too! This, plus a scythe, means you can do a LOT at an enjoyable pace. Thank you for sharing!! Did you also make the Hay Rake?

[@terryhatchjr6607]

Love this video this is how everybody used to do it back in the old days 1899

[@gholland5840]

They had better bailers for over a century before 1899. Keep in mind that 1899 had machine guns and telephones

[@Rockincountry]

No shit

[@guyh.4553]

Very nice. One suggestion for operation. You should compress the material more often as you're loading it. It'll save your back more and get a better, uniform bale. Just like a mechanized baler.

[@alpatronlhefehajromeromero4345]

Probably doesn't want a 90 lber, maybe? I was thinking the same thing.

[@rabbit-xx2fo]

I like how he runs with the rake that should be a Olympic sport

[@TM-nw8dj]

It’s brilliant! Good for small farms

[@variacenavsiav9945]

Very fine job. I clap my hands with.

[@saintracheljarodm.holy-kay2560]

That's a bit of the know how! God bless amen.🇬🇧

[@magicdaveable]

Pretty cool. Kind of slow though. I think I will stick with making a pyramid of loose hay and covering it with a tarp.

[@ruthnorman1922]

David Bennett in that scenario you would have little hay taking up a large area.

[@horseblinderson4747]

@@ruthnorman1922 it settles down and actually will last years doing it that way. If you have a buck rake it's actually a very quick efficient way of doing it.

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

Makes more sense to do it your way.

[@donaldsutherland1078]

As the price of hay continues to rise, I've decided to save & use every blade of grass I cut this year. Drying & putting up hay loose or if I can find the blue prints for this box , I'll be hand baling my hay.

[@ziran1158]

🙋‍♀️ Dear friends💖🤝 I watch slowly. . . 😍 Thanks for the wonderful sharing 👍 4034🌹 Blessings thousands 💕 Bless health and happiness 🙏

[@kennyclement2823]

Wish all my hay was on the shade!

[@TheProphetsWhisper]

i think I would end up having to make the box a little bit bigger to justify the amount of labor involved in getting just one bale lol nicely done

[@horseblinderson4747]

Empacadura manual de heno Their baller it's way faster and more efficient.

[@littlebeavercreekhomestead311]

This would be great in a grid down situation if there were no gas to be had or in very remote region where you have very few animals to take through the winter. But even when machinery is available it is a very hard and wearing job.

[@littlebeavercreekhomestead311]

Great video BTW, may have to build one for my homestead, God bless.

[@luckyagribusinessfarm]

Great!; kindly could you make a step by step video on how to make this baler?

[@SmithPLovatt]

[@k.robertthedub1317]

This is what you call an artisanal hay bail. Extremely low carbon intensive operation. Very cool. Cute but impossible to replicate. I grew up farming in Snowville UT on 1,285 acres. The whole valley 20 families farmed and ranched is now all owned by Berkshire Hathaway.

[@JonnyCoolMelt]

Great video... I have one smartass comment if your using a machine no matter how primitive it’s not handmade. This is great to watch though..

[@segalanormand]

Very good. Thanks

[@mohamedorabi5606]

Very good ...i have a lot of wood can i make like this i need just the method and sizes

[@evansevans4439]

Nice work Farmer

[@pccodertech8699]

Make a miniature version of this. Make small bales and sell them at flea markets, etc. as decorator items.

[@julianpilbrow4963]

Could we soap get the Daleks to play this jingle when they Exterminate!! the horse and leave it to decomposing like 140 beached pilot whales?! If everyone has a horse you need about 900kgs to feed it over winter. Save the whales please.

[@simoneporzio1527]

I cant find the link for planes.... please can show it to me?? Many thanks

[@doceboworld9260]

What do you use to record your videos?

[@lasisirasaki8125]

How long does this last before spoil and also does this not need to cover? Thanks.

Here in UK good hay can last several years if stored in a dry, well ventilated barn

[@aleciawimer8506]

Is this how they baled hay in Farmer Boy?

[@SmithPLovatt]

Never read it but I suspect not. In those days they stacked hay in ricks outdoors, thatched with straw against the rain.

[@sydneyspringle495]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@janekamau7083]

Hi.. what are the dimensions of the box

[@paulusbambangsantoso650]

Can you give us the detail about the baler size ? Dimension and drawing please. Thanks

Good plan and nice music!

Flying Dutchman2 ; I recognize the tune from a children's show my son used to watch! I believe it was called "The ladybug's pic-nic"

[@lazio9492]

I could use that system next time my baler breaks down! I'll probably need about 50 of them ans hire 50 laborers. 😉 honestly thats pretty cool. I'd like to make one just to tey it out! Any plans out there?

[@fasx56]

Paul LS Is this an original idea that you came up with to make bales or was this done before machines starting baling hay.?

[@horseblinderson4747]

[@geoffphillips5872]

It’s a basic example from 19 th century.

[@RavenSaint1]

Well, now I know what to build to go with my family's scythes. That is sooo cool. Better than racking it over to the fences and piling it up for the animals there.

[@sonofeloah]

I am not liking the link as that version too much material. This one looks like it is using pallet wood, of which I have a lot of. I would love to see these plans. The university has a lot of money to play with and think nothing of a costly version and this one is more in my budget.

[@lasisirasaki8125]

Are we not need to dry it before keep,?

[@SmithPLovatt]

Yes this is dried in the sun and wind. Making good hay is a whole story in itself.

[@lasisirasaki8125]

Can we use another grasses apart from this?

[@tillzockt2925]

Can I buy that?

[@lr5425]

How can I get plans for this baler?

3.5 of those bale has the same amount of hay as one standard bale. It makes more sense to buy hay than baling it by hand.

[@SmithPLovatt]

The link i.pinimg.com/originals/22/db/a3/22dba381c0f8ada0395abf37e46c3502.jpg is for the plans which my brother-in-law, Raymond James used to make this box baler. He is a carpenter by trade. If you would like to contact him about making one for you, his email address is: [e-mail]. He is based in Herstmonceux, East Sussex.
