[@patrickcourtwright1326]

Another great video mike! Those bales should make the cows happy!

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I think the cows will enjoy them

[@thomassojka2704]

Having a buddy with a nice hay rig like that is almost as good as a friend with a great boat!

[@mikep7810]

It sure is

[@massey375]

Thats a nice baler. Glad he was able to bale for ya and get things done.

[@mikep7810]

It's a really nice baler. It was great that he was able to come up and bale for us

[@jongregory5181]

Thanks for the Vid. New Green Tractor paint would be nice, but I Love how you All Run the Classics. Can’t beat em

[@mikep7810]

Gotta love the classics

[@jimcivitello3913]

Nice video mike thanks for sharing. That looks like some nice hay. We didn't make much 1st cut hay this year weather was against us. Ended up chopping a whole lot that would have made some nice dry hay. Should be starting 2nd cut pretty soon.

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. We are about to start chopping 2nd cut too

[@blaneheinrich5743]

That's one great thing I would take over square bales any day if you don't get them picked up and they get rained on does not hurt them one bit the water just runs right off excellent video thank you and also that baler is making excellent bales

[@mikep7810]

Thank you and yes that claas makes a great bale. I'd much rather stack these bales any day of the week!

[@ruthlowe4478]

Good Morning nice video you have a great day

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. You have a great day too

[@craigmonty8343]

I got 1328 round bales as of today with a little over 180 acres of firsts cutting left buddy! Nice looking hay there!👍🏻

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. Good luck getting the rest of your hay made

[@cliveatwood4752]

Nice one. Great solid even bales and perfectly netted too. Nothing worse than misshaped bales with the net not going fully edge to edge. A lot of hay packed into them bales.

[@mikep7810]

I agree. My buddy makes some really nice bales with that baler

[@walterlaubscherjr2011]

Nice video Mike! Ever think at some point you’ll get a round baler

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I hope we get our own some day

[@markmiller4685]

Nice 4440 mike!!!

[@mikep7810]

Thank you, it's my buddy's tractor and baler. Both are really nice

[@judiwhittaker8648]

That’s one awesome 4440

[@mikep7810]

It sure is...its ok you can say it, awesome guy in the 4440 and awesome camera man too! 😀

I know that the small squares work well for dairy farmers but we never regretted switching to round balers in the early 80's. Every time i see a roll come out of the baler i think that is 10 to 15 square bales i do not have to handle four times to get it to the livestock. Throwing it on a trailer, taking it off the trailer, stacking it in the barn, and then throwing it out to the cows. We did not have the bale conveyors like you have we had to tote each one. The only time we had to touch the round bales is to take the twine off them. Never used a Claas baler but it looks like it make a tight bale.

[@mikep7810]

Yeah the claas baler makes a great bale. Every round bale I stack with the loader or tractor is a small win because I'm not stacking the small squares!

[@michaelcook768]

Excellent video. Nice hay.

[@mikep7810]

Thank you

[@caseihmagnum279]

likes the claas does he

[@mikep7810]

He tried out 3 balers and chose the claas. I really like the job he does with that baler and think he made a good choice.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice hay bales

[@mikep7810]

Thank you

[@frankeem3820]

Have you ever had one of those round bales go rolling all the way down one of those Hills? That actually sounds funny but I know it wouldn't be good.

[@mikep7810]

If it's a real steep part I know he try's to back up and do a 90 degree turn so they dont roll away

[@countrylover40]

How can you tell if the bale is ejected from the chamber, can you "feel" it eject

[@ronmeier8850]

monitor in the cab tells your status

[@mikep7810]

The first set of beeps you hear in the cab is the monitor telling you it's full and to stop. When he opens the back door there are more beeps which is the bale leaving. If the bale stops on the back platform and doesn't fully eject the monitor won't stop beeping

[@countrylover40]

@@mikep7810 my monitor beeps and shows an icon when the bale is 3/4 and full and tells me everything about the twine, when it is tying and when the arms are back home and if one side is tying or not but nothing about the bale leaving the chamber haha, i can see thru the belts and see the bale being ejected or look for the shadow behind the baler

[@sharone6077]

Are you guys out of feed in your silos

[@mikep7810]

The haylage silo and high moisture corn silo still has a lot and won't run out and the corn silage still has about a month left still

[@sharone6077]

@@mikep7810 oh what do you do when a cow has a bull calf

[@hicktownpa1233]

How do u feed your round bales and we’re do u store them ?

[@mikep7810]

We feed them in round hay racks out in the pasture and store them out back by the silage bag

[@antonyfarming]

Great video nice hay the baler sure pack's it in 👍👍

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. Yeah that baler makes a real nice solid bale

[@noelhohberger1188]

Nice looking hay

[@mikep7810]

Thank you. I was happy with it

[@possleaholsteinspossbrofar8429]

Is he cutting them Mike?

[@mikep7810]

No we feed them in the pasture in the hay racks so we dont have him cut them

Neat video mike harvesting videos are coming up soon

They will be here before we know it

[@trainman071]

hey mike how heavy are those bales? i am thinking 500lbs

[@mikep7810]

At least. They are very solid bales. Lot of hay in them

[@user-A244F]

I would say minimum 1000 lbs

[@trainman071]

@@user-A244F damn thats heavy then

[@mennoreuten1563]

He mike better not baling on hilly ground i think they all disapere in the Woods is there a cuttingbar in the Claes is it all heifer food thanks Mike have a good day greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@mikep7810]

He is pretty careful and turns 90 degrees if it's real hilly. When you say cutterbar do you mean the extra knives? If so then yes this has the roto cut (extra knives) that makes the bale fall apart when you cut it open. We dont have him use it because these are going in hay racks out in the pasture to the heifers and milk cows

[@andrewcosh120]

How many square and round bales will you feed out in a year ?

[@mikep7810]

We put up almost 90 round bales and we'll feed all them. The squares vary from year to year
