I alway enjoy your content. I must say though. What i really love about your channel is that i remember in a video of your son eating spaghetti, i just love how your wife said, " don't forget to pray ". That right there is why im a loyal subscriber because it tells the world that doesn't want to hear it, that your a Christian, and your not afraid to take a stand in this sinful world we live in. Your an inspiration to me and i pray im an inspiration to anyone i come in contact with. Im 29yrs old, blind in one eye from premature birth, 5 months premature. And id never change anything about my vision. Yes i can never get my driver's license to drive a car on the highway, but i always manage to figure out a way. God bless you and prayers from the ebie family.

[@DLHFarms]

Thank you so much for the support. I am a Christian and we are doing our best to raise our children to be Godly men.

I have dearly missed your postings and so glad to see you still doing your thing in the fields and trucks. enjoy you showing the new tech with the way you do bails. Missed your postings but yes when you get busy it is go go and no time for videos. All the best.

Hello from Bristol, hey Dennis what a great crop. It’s funny watching today when you’re working in a beautiful spring day and now the 6” of snow finally melted and 2-6” in forecast this afternoon and tomorrow morning. Have ya had a chance to plow yet ? See ya on the next one. Warren

[@DLHFarms]

We had a skiff of snow the other day. I didn’t even film it. Vdot didn’t call us out.

[@mikesavage9325]

Great video Dennis missed them last year .Great you still have the 4710 in the family, i enjoyed seeing the 47 and 57 working together. Did all your tractors go ok last year no problems i hope ? Mike

[@DLHFarms]

Both Massey have been great assets to the farm. No problems with either one to speak of. The 47 has 1400 hours. The 57 has 500 hours

[@willardlocks]

That was some nice straw.

[@eof3100]

This is the one I have been waiting for to get your opinion on the Massey Ferguson 1840, I'm pretty happy with mine this coming summer will be my 3rd year using it. Just need to get my new tie grapple set up to use on 2 different tractors, and I plan to by the quick hitch set up for my hay wagons should save on the knees getting in and out as much , the closer I get to 60 I will take all I can get on the in and out of the cab less .😉

[@DLHFarms]

When I get time I’ll do a review on it. If you use wagons like I do you will love the Bergman speed hitch

Middle of January and weather down there is still beautiful and warm…I live in the wrong area of the country 😢

Haha no this was last spring. Last week here it was 7 degrees Fahrenheit

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

We have had our! 1840 MF baler a little over a year and the plunger started to clunk on the return stroke... Pulled the plunger and the two lower bearings on the lower side of the plunger closest to the front, one was missing the balls and the other was close... and the bale counter was showing about 52.000, We cross referenced the bearings and the J.D dealer had some that went on the Thresher Bars in an AMADAS peanut combine, I think the New Holland it replaced was close to 500,000 bales, went we pulled the plunger for the same reason

[@markgray1119]

When the camera drew back from baling, that was cool.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@JohnJohnson-vx2wr]

Great video Dennis. Dawson sure is getting big. How is Darcy doing? Why are they clearing off the mountain sides down around Stuart ?

Dorsie is great. They are building a four lane road up the mountain.

Good to see u have good help god bless

Thanks!

[@boomersudden6257]

Love baling hay or straw. I know you know but just be careful of those bigger windrows it could wrap the dive shafts of the tractor and could get in the pto shaft and wrap up.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah sounds like fun. Not

[@nalley6815]

On Facebook I’m on a page called the hay patch and the really big hay producers swear by those Masseys. New hollands used to be the thing but these days if you’re a big producer you’ve got a Massey inline. Personally I’ve never ran one but they seem like really nice machines. The new Massey round balers are frickin sweet too. Anyway I hope yours has been treating good still. Hope the family has been good too! Getting spoiled with all these new videos 😂

[@DLHFarms]

I put 20.000 bales through mine and it ran flawless unless i run a stick in it.

[@nalley6815]

@@DLHFarms they’re definitely good machines and make a good bale. I think the move to the Massey is more so about capacity. Some people really don’t like the pickup being behind the cab. You had anything like that or does it just feel like round baling? I wouldn’t figure it would be a pain

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Know ypu have been busy but sure have missed your videos Dennis.

[@frankscruggs4749]

Good video.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@gatecity5284]

Well are you glad you made the switch to an in line square baler. Looks like I may have to do the same ,it looks like it speeds up the hay production.

[@DLHFarms]

It has its pluses and minuses but overall yes I like running it better than the offset.

[@monk4786]

@@DLHFarms I gotcha here in Tennessee we got about 6 inches of snow last week everything was closed for a week. The sun zero temps at night did not help the melting every night so it come harder to drive in. Watching Facebook comments just makes me appreciate the guys out there trying to clear the roads more!

[@nalley6815]

@@kaseytanner4347in central Kentucky we got about that too. Maybe less. They called for this huge big ol number and it didn’t mount to much. Maybe 4” I guess. In some places you could still see the grass over the snow. It was just enough to play around in on my new side by side. Other than that that’s all we’ve had. They always tell us we’re gonna get over a foot and we never do. I don’t remember the last good snow we had like when I was a kid

[@nalley6815]

[@johnkemp4370]

What are straw bales worth in your region? Square and round? I ask because there is a mushroom plant near me that buys a lot. Very little bedding market here in Texas

[@DLHFarms]

$6 a square $45ish for round

[@johnkemp4370]

About what I figured, check with your state highway dept about selling contractors construction hay

[@Guri55136]

I am using mf 1840 in india for bailing paddy straw and sugarcane trash. I found its pick up is giving more choking problem than newholland BC5060.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it is easier to choke

Sir have you made a video showing how this squeeze ties the pak? I can’t understand how it’s ties the pak.

[@longviewfarm226]

Was that field combined or did you just cut and bale? If it wasn’t combined do you have problems with rodents eating the seed heads

[@DLHFarms]

Cut and tedd and tedd then let it rain on it then tedd some more then bale haha. Takes about a week and some rain to make good crisp straw. I know we have rodents I see some occasionally when moving straw or hay but never had an issue with them messing up anything. Got a cat or two that works on them too. And sometimes a black snake.

[@nicholisking9272]

Any firewood videos in the works?

[@DLHFarms]

No cutting videos yet but I’m making one on doing some repairs to the processor and cleaning up around it.

[@tricountyfarmer5640]

Does the 5711 steer as well as you make it look with hay in the grapple?

[@DLHFarms]

Steering isn’t an issue especially when moving.

[@jamesberg3106]

What do people use straw bales for in your area?

[@DLHFarms]

Cover seeded areas on construction sites and animal bedding. Sometimes decoration in the fall

[@Doogie_Causey]

Dennis, what is the baled straw used for

[@DLHFarms]

My dad buys a lot of it. We use it on jobs to cover bare ground after seeding. I sell the rest of it to stores for them to resell to contractors for the same purpose or farmers for animal bedding. Some people use them as decoration in the fall and some people use them to bed their dogs in the winter time.

[@nalley6815]

also forgot to ask the other day but hows the 5711 doing for you?

No problems so far. Got 500 hrs
