The 310 is running strong!

[@defuse56]

I really like this one. I musta spent a thousand hours stacking wagons, and you had the exact same point of view. Thanks for the memories, Jake. I never minded stacking until it came time to get up in the hay mow and stack 'em up there. That was some hot, sweaty, dusty, back-breaking work. But I even enjoyed that part most of the time. Made ya sleep real good after a swim and a big dinner. Jeff

[@jakeziegler599]

defuse56 thanks Jeff I'm sure I'll will spend more hours on a rack. I'm like u I could stack all day on the rack but when it came to put them in the barn I dred that part. Yes supper never tasted so good

[@defuse56]

I know, right? We'd come in and dive in the pool, then change and go to the table and chow down. My boss's wife Elma was an old-time farm wife. She took pride in laying out a big spread for all the hands. She'd never let you leave till she was satisfied you'd eaten enough fried chicken and biscuits to fill an elephant! Have a good Saturday!

I have 2 cousins brother and sister in western New York that run a small dairy heifer replacement farm. They usually put up over 2000 square bales but they hay wagons are a lot bigger.

[@jakeziegler599]

By the time it's all said and done we usually do about that much. And that what I've been hearing we have small hay racks lol

[@Rdrake1413]

Enjoyed the video.Years ago it was a big family get together to help bring in the hay. My dad and I used to up and help them. They no longer milk cows just raise replacement heifers. Hate to see so many family farms shutting down. But it hard to make money in dairy unless you have a big operation. I have another cousin in PA and all his milk goes to the government to make cheese.

[@jakeziegler599]

+Rdrake1413 ya it is fun to get a bunch of pto it there makin hay. Grandpa said all the neighbors would get together and make hay but that was 60 years ago. He was the only one around with a twine tie baler. That's what I've heard dairy is tough to make a buck in.

[@Rdrake1413]

Yeah I remember the balers with baling wire . That is what my Uncles had. Don't see baling wire much anymore.

[@jakeziegler599]

+Rdrake1413 ya it's about phased out

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

What can I say? Looks like you have all the help you need,and all is running smooth . Black Gold, yep, I heard of that type soil. I used to farm a lot of round creek stone. I suppose it was from the Great Flood. Still it produced very well.

[@jakeziegler599]

Ya it went pretty good. All this ground used to be swamp 150 years ago till people drained it and found it was excellent dirt.

[@cgfarmer4012]

Watching that video brought back a lot of memories.

[@jakeziegler599]

Good times

[@DLHFarms]

That's some good looking hay! Ive got 315 New Holland. Very good balers!

[@jakeziegler599]

DLH Farms thanks! I saw that in one of ur videos I like that bale accumulater too lol sure makes baling easy

[@DLHFarms]

Jake Ziegler Yes Sir. If you do much hay the accumulator is the only way to go!

[@jakeziegler599]

DLH Farms I know I've seen a neighbor using one. But for my 10-12 acres of grass and 3 acres of alfalfa I'm gona have a hard time paying for it lol

[@DLHFarms]

Jake Ziegler. yeah that's not worth the cost.

[@jakeziegler599]

DLH Farms I could use the exercise too

[@michiganfarming1955]

oh boy! the 310 rides again, great video man having some quality time with grandpa too, im planing to cut soon, said were expected to get rain this weekend prolly monday is a go for us and ill be sure to show ya our 268 i didnt forget about your request! lol

[@jakeziegler599]

Yep she's runnin good! Grandpa drives kinda slow tho. I like to push things. Great hope u get it out down I'll be waiting for a video!

[@michiganfarming1955]

+Jake Ziegler oh yeah cutting will start soon, dying to make another GoPro

[@jakeziegler599]

Awesome!

[@jayss10]

Looks to be alittle on the loose side as far as your baler tension goes. I would have taken the tension down two or three rounds.

[@jakeziegler599]

We were still getting it set I've actually gone down 5 rounds since then.

[@jayss10]

+Jake Ziegler just thought of this, but there are a number of wedges that are supposed to be in the bale chamber. Should be 2-3 pairs of these wedges to help get tension in the chamber.

[@jakeziegler599]

+jayss10 I think it had them. Right under the knotter

[@jayss10]

+Jake Ziegler The wedges aren't directly under the knotter. They are actually bolted on the inside of the bale chamber. Part number 86626431. You may have them, but it's not uncommon for these to rot out and fall out particularly if a machine has been stored outside with hay still in it.

[@jakeziegler599]

+jayss10 that may be the case because this thing ain't sat in a day in its life till I got it

[@billwhitman1529]

Don't know that you could ask more of the baler. Nice bales and didn't look to be missing any. Good video Jake.

[@jakeziegler599]

Ya it's doin good! And the bales are actually square with the other NH sometimes they would be curved witch was a pain.

[@terrellfarms1]

I miss farming but I will never miss working with small squares. NEVER!

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha I got home and looked for bale accumulators on Craigslist

[@thebreakofdon5188]

you need the matching newholland bale wagon

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha no I need a matching bale accumulator with a bale grapple on a skid steer

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Looks like the 310 is working good

[@jakeziegler599]

Sure is!

[@rogerwilson9361]

well my friend you got old 310 singing again; have you ever had one of those bales break for I have had several as picking it up and just burst the twine break and got kick it off the wagon what a mass lol.

[@jakeziegler599]

Yep it's running good! And yes usually 2 maybe 3 a day

[@rogerwilson9361]

Jake lol, makes for a good day ever had the twine run out and have one long bale without twine.

[@Oliver66FarmBoy]

It would appear somebody stole the back rack off your wagon. lol Daggum flatlanders!

[@jakeziegler599]

Hahaha no body would steal it cuz they don't need it

[@randymaylowski2485]

nice video of that, and that is a nice looking hay.

[@powerram92]

stacking them a little different how we stack them in pa lol

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha u need side hill racks

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha u need side hill racks

[@cjfarms2239]

your 310 baler should have been pulled by a 310 wakashua, lol

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha it was pulled by a 283 wakashaw

[@cjfarms2239]

ahhhhh, thats no fun, lol

[@PeterbiltTruckin15]

I'd love to see a video of you stacking the whole wagon

[@jakeziegler599]

Haha it gets kinda tough at the end but maybe I'll do one
