Raking and Round Baling Hay/New Holland 853 Round Baler

After getting the hay cut, Alan decided to round bale and wrap the field that had a lot of Alfalfa in it, making it hard to dry this time of year in Minnesota. Alan gets to work on the 820 John Deere and V-rake combining the rows. After letting the hay dry down some, Alan was ready to start round baling. The International 1256 and New Holland 853 Round Baler are put to work. Meanwhile, Barnum Spring Fever Days town celebration is happening. The kids got to have some fun and throw candy in the parade, check out the car show, and catch some rodeo action.

Good you caught those bales heating. Had a neighbor years ago who’s hay shed burnt down from hay being too wet.

[@canvids1]

Great video as always love the old baler and the rake. Old but still does a great job for you. Thanks for the video.

[@DonWelter]

Always a good feeling to get hay up on a nice sunny day. You folks are like us...get a lot of mileage out of older iron. Nice interlude for the family enjoying Spring fever days.

[@henryjohnn]

Good video One of my favorite channels!

[@davevonmuenster6649]

Baler tractor sounds real good. Thanks for the video. I have baled a lot of small squares in my life. Started out on the rotobaler. Have a fun summer kids. Love your channel.

[@davidbarnes706]

Really nice looking hay

Nice video

Great job explaining why you’re wrapping this cutting.

[@jesseford7231]

Love the smell of fresh cut hay.

[@alfredomarotta6604]

I enjoyed the raking and bailing video. Ty Alan.

[@TomNorton-wz1rx]

Nice looking hay, my NH baler is the same way if you go to fast you get a big fluffy bale, I found that single windows make the best bales if you don’t mind going round and round

Bad weather coming at you. Be safe!

Yeah, we're in a tornado watch now.

[@user-ed4ep1pd8t]

Love the videos. Great job ty

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Looks like beautiful hay and I really like that rake. Hope you had a fantastic day at the fair. Looked like fun to me. Thanks

[@ronniewayne5748]

Great video.Need smellvison for the hay

[@jerryjohnson8268]

dusty baler is just fine

[@ronmetz9172]

I was told New Holland doesn't sell the air bags anymore, maybe that number will cross reference with one that will work. Thanks for the help.

[@trinitydairy]

The replacement bags I got were Goodyear ,and I think the ones on the baler were also, if you have the Goodyear part number, a place that handles truck suspension, should be able to find them.

[@br927]

years ago, you always had to rake & bale very carefully so you didn't knock off the leaves the alfalfa!

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

We would chop first cut alfalfa, square bale second and third, and chop the fourth after the frost. I switched to a NH Processor baler for the fourth and wrapped the bales to avoid messing with the unloader or making short bags. Cows loved the stuff! Great video!

[@Chico-td2fy]

I like the wrapped bails looks like giant marshmallows 😋 🐂🐃

[@adamkonopko3580]

Good work 👍

[@ADSC2006]

Nice looking bales.

Good job guys

HI Trinity Dairy

[@ralphriddle8864]

Very nice job and God bless y'all

[@Rollinghillsfarmsmn]

Great to see baling so close. Little early here, my ground is pretty wet. We ran a chain baler similar to that one and had great luck with it. Your pickup/feed system looks just like our RB450 belt baler.

[@harvestingharrolds1086]

Just bought an 852 New Holland, never baled before.

[@Scotthobart1086]

another great video!

[@arthurok327]

Howdy Alan, Family, I hope ya'll are doing well, That was a great video, we got to see some Farming, a parade, and than some rodeo footage, all three brought back some Cool memories, I don't rodeo anymore, that's for the young, but I still Farm, and partake in our towns parade every spring lol Great video ya'll, Stay safe, God Bless and Farm on my Friends

[@rodneydickson3944]

I always thought you dont need nice and shiny equipment

[@johnhenderson299]

If it still does the job keep using it

[@brucesuperman6120]

I like the double hydraulic hay rakes better and leaves the fields cleaner for you to. But love the video's

[@anthonyhengst2908]

When those baled heat up like that you readjust your method real quick or else you get burned literally. Hopefully all your hay doesn't see any rain.

[@jacobswendsen5837]

Nice upstate farms shirt we're still waiting for dry weather in upstate New York

[@mennoreuten1563]

I think pretty Nice stuff only problem i see is that hay is not cut makes it harder to feed whit machines but thats my thought, greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@markcovault1413]

That hay will make some milk

[@jimvanderlinden7249]

I used to have 2 farmers that had chain New Hollands one was small pipe the other was large pipe. I used have to weld them together after they hit a rock and vibrate while baling.

[@trinitydairy]

If These pipes get bent at all, it will shear the main shear pin.

[@jimvanderlinden7249]

I'm sure that happened, but they had extra pipe and replaced them so they could finish the job. One customer would do custom baling and make heavy bales. I even had to weld the round roller a few times in the bottom.

[@trinitydairy]

@jimvanderlinden7249 I always keep some spare pipes too, I've been able to straighten some of them, but some just get bent to bad. I've never had one break though.

[@MrGiantstpss]

Your new rake probably moves slow because you use older tractors that have lower hydraulic pressure than the new stuff. We have a rotary rake that our case 400 won't even pick up we have to use a 930 to do it.

[@trinitydairy]

I think it's because it has small diameter hydraulic lines, our old rake is much heavier and it lifts it really well.

[@danr1030]

What is the moisture level running? Also did you have any trouble shearing bolts on the driveline on the silage hay? I would think that would be more likely to shear vs dry hay.

[@trinitydairy]

I didn't check the moisture, but I would guess around 40%. Never had any trouble shearing the main pin.

[@stevecolwill5681]

Thank you for a great vid . Lovely to see the baler working . Do your tractors have hour clocks ? . Have they many hours on them .

[@trinitydairy]

I think only one has a working hour meter, but I would have to check it.

[@johnplatt8369]

Great vlog I really enjoy watching the more retro farm machinery working, all doing a good job. We had a John Deere bit like yours here in the UK but it was an 1120 cracking little tractor, first tractor I ever ploughed with. What horse power is your John Deere. 👍👍👍

[@trinitydairy]

About 38 horse power

[@RodneyZiegler]

You have to do what works for you.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦

[@colorado1088]

Maybe wash the slow moving vehicle safety triangle sign.

[@matthewthomas5494]

I have a current model new holland baler and in the manual it states that ground speed affects density so in other words drive slow

[@fullers1966]

How does the monitor work on your new Holland round baler I'm looking at one just like you have never did anything with round bales before

[@trinitydairy]

This one doesn't have a monitor, it has indicators on the front of the baler, and the twine is ran with the hydraulics.

[@fullers1966]

@@trinitydairy I don't know nothing about round balers and I was watching a different video and there is like yours but it's electric he mentioned the hydraulic kind just wondering how yours worked because the one I'm looking at is hydraulic like yours it is really reasonable looks like it's in decent shape

[@trinitydairy]

It's been a good baler.

[@trinitydairy]

@fullers1966 I could talk a little more about it in an upcoming video if you want?

[@fullers1966]

@@trinitydairy it sure would be nice maybe I would understand it better God bless take care stay safe throughout the farming season

[@gregwilson3371]

I thought that rake was a 3 point style minus the kart

[@Stephenklausmeyer-hr9rb]

You're right. I would never wash a baler. You are just asking for trouble.

[@ronmetz9172]

Alan, what horsepower do you need to run that NH 853? Where can you get replacement air bags when they leak?

[@trinitydairy]

I would say at least 80hp to run that baler,I ran it with our 830 case, but it was a little underpowered. We had a machinery dealer that was able to get me the airbags but I don't remember the name of the place he ordered them from, I think it was a truck suspension place. I couldn't try to get ahold of him, he probably still has the contact.

[@ronmetz9172]

Thanks Alan, appreciate the info. All the best to you and the family from Texas.

[@trinitydairy]

I tried calling that guy, but the number I have doesn't work anymore. I think when we pulled out our old airbags, they had a Goodyear part number on the end.

[@Timkrenz-gr6ol]

❤😊 FAIR IS THIS WEEKEND??

[@trinitydairy]

No, just a town celebration held at the fairgrounds.
