MANUAL HAY BALER

An easy DIY project for anyone, who owns a few squaremeter (squarefeet) of owergrown grass. Made it out of 4 pieces of 150 x 4000 mm freshly purchased lumber, a few pieces of left-over acacia boards and a slavaged (broken) snath. Rough measurements at 01:04 (in cm (mm /10)), I don't and didn't have a plan, I just figured it out during the process.
I like to use old fashined scythe to do moving around my property. I'm just tired of the sound of modern whipper snippers and respect how my ancestors made hay for their animals. Also I didn't want to waste a lot of good forage. The best way to store hay in small spaces is making small square bales...

Whaaaaat! I totally expected the compression mechanism to be way more complex. I was anticipating some type of spring loaded thing. You made this look totally doable! Thank you!!

[@christokaloudis2050]

That’s one the coolest things I’ve see man well done brother

[@joehackney4828]

The needs of the coming future. Thanks for reviving the lost arts.

[@jvennings5595]

"stay home keep making" i like that

[@sore5246]

So inspiring to see a man working, that thrilling soundtrack, I would love to make, do, create, also in harmony with the nature, thankful for learning opportunities, though all lot times I don't have enough energy, doubting or catch cold easy (idea of a strawbale building seems far away, have to consider what I can/can't, need to plan whats going to happen when it gets colder), still inspiring to watch smth like this, just 1 guy

[@Abe18874]

I like the upright bale design. helps for compression and unloading. Sweet!

[@Rumade]

I love it. Have been looking at small scale hay production for our chickens and guinea pigs. Don't need much but finding a small amount for a reasonable price is becoming difficult.

[@BarrRunForge]

I've seen those done before. I love the simplicity of it. I believe I'll stick with my PTO/tractor powered unit for now. Great job. God bless.

[@steffenheinrich70]

Tip top danke für das Video und die Anleitung zum Bauen der Heuballenpresse.

[@bruceshearer1719]

Amazing ...very well presented. Thank you ,Sir.

[@theresalovell2103]

Hi Many thanks for this video looking into hand making hay on smaller area where we keep our horses. I’m already into using a scythe!

[@AGRIMOVIEemi]

Hard work bro.. Good job.. 👍👍

[@ramashinti3180]

simple is great

[@grigorstankov4605]

Bravo!

[@josephbarker91]

Sweet design! The only question I have is if you feel like you have enough leverage?

[@morganbeasley]

Cool!

[@dabigguardian5138]

Maybe a much longer lever gives more compressed bales,save much storage space

[@silviofontana5144]

great, but should have that ramer with a longer reach and ram after about 10 inches layering and ramming as you go.

[@Meisters4Q]

genius

[@cjjamison]

Do you have plans for this? Looks great and would be perfect on a small farm like ours!

[@MarkKMake]

Check out the description! Thanks for watching!

[@alexeygorsky]

SUPER !!!

[@lucioflavio2649]

parabéns chique de mais

[@davidmendoza7516]

Slappy hay baler.

[@timothy435able]

Feel like that handle is too short. It will require extra energy to pull down. The longer it is, the less effort expended

[@nogoodcops6557]

Then use a cheater bar. Length can always be added.

[@mrpanther7013]

Cool

[@fiducialpoint1]

where'd you get that music....

[@jaidenlawrence2438]

How much would you sell one of those for?

[@22airgun]

Awesome video! How do you go about peening your scythe? I have been trying to figure it out but I think I’m missing something.

[@rameshgajmer1208]

Hi Mark, What is the name of the cutting tool you are using? Please let me know

[@kambailasimooya1747]

Awesome stuff can you make a video on how to make a syethc

[@MarkKMake]

Thank you! Yes, when I'll have enough time to make one.

[@ketayapwarrior560]

Wondering.. Is that bracihiaria humidicola?

[@KuzweKanfarms]

Great video! Thanks 😊.. I am impressed that you got that many bails from the area you cut... So did one row give you that many or the whole area?

[@MarkKMake]

Thanks! Yes, it's more than one row

[@ericbouv4070]

Alors là, je dis bravo.

[@sergey1kalinin]

Красавчик!👍👍👍

[@blackstone0072]

What grass name sir?

[@pingechelon9389]

Someone needs to do this but with a hydraulic log splitter ram and small engine or electric pump.

[@hugueslne2667]

Bonjour, pourriez vous me donner les dimensions de vôtre boite? Longueur. Largeur, hauteur et épaisseur des planches. Merci

[@ednilsonmoreira3352]

é a besta fera, cuidado com a cobra doido

[@manuelsalvadormezacastillo7459]

Quiero ver la cortadora como ensamblar el machete en el mango

[@LeonBrainSatan]

Können Sie bitte die Bau Anleitung reinmachen?

[@joaosarraipa3755]

Pode dar as medidas exatas ?

[@doceboworld9260]

What do you use to record your videos?

[@MarkKMake]

Nikon D3200

[@NateOffGrid]

How long does it take to get one bale with this setup?

[@MarkKMake]

around 4-5 minutes

[@georgvonsauer2618]

The next question: how much do they weigh? Are you getting value for the effort? None of my customers like light hay bales...even price adjusted...loose bales tend to fall apart, if not carefully handled.

[@keithclark486]

@@MarkKMake Do you think you could speed up a little or is that the average time you're trying to stick to?

[@stephenduron4540]

How longs is the bale?

[@MarkKMake]

around 800 mm

[@DarrenDeansSouthernBreed]

any chance of sendind plans so I can build one over here in New Zealand please

[@ramniklalthakkar5801]

😊

[@gingercox6468]

Something like it was made for baling tobacco

[@Afadarknet]

Клас

[@TheArtofRVing]

Saw at you at Ken's Maple Leaf Forge. Ok, i love low tech that works everytime...so I love your channel. We have some videos you would like check us out

[@MarkKMake]

Thank you! Have you seen any shoutout from him?

[@planetgrapehead707]

I don’t have those tools 🥲

[@CiscoFunk]

A esa velocidad haces un fardo x mes, con suerte, dedicate a otra cosa 😂

[@jimmason1072]

Crap....I fell asleep for 3 minutes 😴...when did the world END?

[@neilwhitcombe9526]

I wouldn't be showing off those bales. They look very loose.

[@allomallo9958]

and in just three hours you have a bail that won't last 30 seconds lol

[@blockededited8280]

At least he has a bale.

[@commonsense6725]

Lol

[@turnafraze]

Guess that depends on what you're feeding

[@GotrekGurninsson]

I mean I make bales with a large plastic tote and my feet and they last a year so I’m sure these last just as long

[@luiznevessilveira2478]

Que droga, assistindo um vídeo muito interessante entra um comercial irritante. Dei um dislike e gravei o canal para não assistir nunca mais.
