Square Baling Hay with John Deere 328 Baler and John Deere 4430 Tractor

[@chrischisholm4800]

So that’s how it’s done. Very cool. Looks like you have a good wife, and good life!

[@stinsonfarms6724]

You would be correct! I have a great wife and a great life!! Thanks!!

[@johngourley741]

Really enjoy watching that JD baler eat the hay. Big double windows and it took it.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. The hay was in good shape but the baler has surprised me on how well it takes hay. Thanks for watching!!

[@jankotze1959]

Brilliant video, nice to see the small NH do work that bigger tractors normally do

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I love that little tractor. I think it is perfect for that work. Plus my wife likes to drive it! Thanks so much for your comments friend!!

[@crslyrn]

Nice healthy looking windrows there, gonna be a lot of bales to pick up for sure. The ol' 328 seemed to handle those windrows pretty well. I agree with you on the bar type hay rake. Thanks for the ride along. Take care.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Hay turned out really good. I'm real happy with how the baler performed. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@stevenarnold1960]

Wish they still made the pto driven rake.

[@jaapbruijn1300]

Wenn you speed the baler up a bit it works much better. The strain on everything geta less. Try it sometimes.

[@SoybeanFarmer3300]

Looked a whole lot like that just rolled along with no problems

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Went pretty well. Hay was in great shape. Thanks for stopping by.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

Man that thing is a hay eating machine! You said before you had many NH, how do you like it compared? I was hoping to see the thing you got the bales up with, guess that one will be next time!! Thank you for bringing us along, look fwd to more!!

[@stinsonfarms6724]

It does well. The one thing the 311 NH had over the JD is it would take the hay quicker. The JD does good but I can't push it like I could the NH. But I'm not in as big of a hurry as I used to be. I'll load the grapple video soon. Thanks for watching friend!!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@stinsonfarms6724 I have heard that before about the Deere's but it seemed to be doing just fine for you!! Like you said not as much a rush as years past! Can't wait to see the grapple!! Always sir!

[@countrysidecowboy4464]

Those are some thick windrows! The baler seems to handle them well! Glad you got more hay up and in the barn. It’s all fun and games till you have to pick them up lol. Good footage and another great video!

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I had to run it 1st gear. Hay was good and dry though so no problems with feeding into the baler. I'll show how I got it up in the next video. I think you'll like it! Thanks so much for watching!!

@@stinsonfarms6724 ok sounds good can’t wait to watch it!

[@BrambleHillHomestead]

Your hay is looking awesome! We dont grow hay for our cows (we are a forested homestead), but we got all our hay in for the winter, feels good. I'm sure it feels good to have a cut in for you :)

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Thanks. All the livestock we have at the moment are the goats and a few chickens. Hope to get a few cows soon. We sale most of our hay. Thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@BrambleHillHomestead]

@@stinsonfarms6724 oh you definitely need cows. They have such fun personalities and are lots of fun!!!

[@stinsonfarms6724]

[@southtexashay777]

Would love to see you using your hay grapple.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

It's coming up next. Plan on loading that video this afternoon. I'm not real good with it yet but I will get better. Thanks for watching!!

[@kh2140]

Looks great 👍. Why are you square bailing instead of round bails?

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I only feed a small amount of hay per year. I sale most of the hay. More money in square bales is the short answer. Thanks for watching!!

[@roco4608]

That’s the smallest of the John Deere balers, I’ve got one and I’m pleased with it. I bale behind a Tedder rake and can do 200 bales per hour but if. Push it beyond that I start breaking flywheel shear bolts

[@stinsonfarms6724]

This is the first John Deere I've had. So far I'm pleased. The plunger strokes per minute are less than on the bigger balers and want take hay as fast as the NH balers I've had but I'm not in as much of a hurry as I used to be. I'll only bale around 3000 bale a year. Thanks for watching!!

[@billybrassel3814]

I just bought a JD 328, I haven't started baling yet. First time planted of Wrangler Bermuda not quite ready. Really enjoyed watched your swallow up hay and spitting out the bales. How long are your bales?

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I had it set to around 40" but some turned out longer. It seemed the dryer the hay the longer the bales were. Going to have to play with it a little to figure it out. They were a little long. I've baled about 1400 bale with it. Pleased so far. Than k s for watching.

[@etx._productions733]

Do you mind making more videos on the old farm truck?

[@stinsonfarms6724]

Sure. Anything in particular you would like to see or know about it?

[@etx._productions733]

@@stinsonfarms6724 ummm some more towing videos would be cool

[@jesusmejia827]

Please have a dron to see everything

[@stinsonfarms6724]

I have a drone I just haven't learned to fly it yet. I'll work on it!!

[@rossbeach707]

I like my FJ Cruiser alot ....

[@stinsonfarms6724]

It has been a good one. Pretty found of it. Thanks!!

[@rossbeach707]

What kind of grass is that? It's not alfalfa.

[@stinsonfarms6724]

It is Orchard Grass and Timothy. Thanks for watching!!

When we were in hay business I preferred having my wife raking than anyone I ever hired (Vermeer R-23 twin rakes) Only problem, she wasn't interested in fixing supper after raking all day

[@stinsonfarms6724]

My wife does a good job. It's just me and her a lot anymore. We do a little at a time. Thanks for watching!!

PTO rpm is too slow. Feeder forks should be going faster that this.

The machine works much too slow. Rev it up please. This hurts!
