The BEST Way To Load Hay

[@susanreutter4576]

I think I saw my old ford. And tell your dad he did a great job holding and talking to the camera. Love you guys

[@FarmingInsider]

I bet you did! And thank you! We really appreciate the support

[@John_Straker]

Satisfying to watch. I wonder how they will unload the hay. And that truck tho, what a beauty!

[@FarmingInsider]

I think this load is being unloaded by hand. BEAUTIFUL truck

[@chrismccray1932]

Your dad did a great job with the camera and talking about what was happening. I think having him do more of the camera work would be great as you get to hear some of his farmer wisdom. Overall, impressive work and a great video.

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you sir! I wish he could be around to spectate more and hold the camera. He’s a busy guy but no one understands what’s going on more than him. I’d like to get more of his thoughts coming through the videos

[@chrismccray1932]

@@FarmingInsider makes sense the bossman is the busiest guy there, but you are doing great either way.. keep it up.

[@leighcowley9869]

The best way is to go to big bale. I use to put up about 40 thousand every year by hand. Then we got a bale wagon and then I went to ton bales and now I have 3x4s. Wouldn’t ever go back to small bales. I have loaded ton bales into a dry van like that with ton bales. Loved it

[@FarmingInsider]

Large bales are very very nice for handling, I’ll give you that

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

As we convert rounds into squares as needed.... We load directly out of the Bale Baron with a heavy duty Ramp and 5045E / with loader that will go inside.trailer....... 40 rounds converted into 36 -21 bale bundles loaded in about 3 hours.. by 2 people......

[@zacnelson0628]

Carl needs a Diet Cola shirt! Awesome video as usual.

[@FarmingInsider]

Excellent idea!! Lol maybe we can make that happen

[@mattstaks]

I’ve never loaded a semi full of hay before. Some other cargo though I have done. Thanks

[@FarmingInsider]

What is your typical freight? Thank YOU

[@kevinbutton4580]

An equipment tour would be cool

[@FarmingInsider]

That could be a possibility

[@charliegood1967]

Out west, we use a squeeze to load 88 bale blocks in freight boxes

[@FarmingInsider]

I’ve seen that. That’s a wicked good system

[@aidenkoster6427]

That accumulator system looks like it works pretty good for filling a semi the only thing I find I'm not a big fan of with it the how the bales sag when you puck them up with the telehandler always love your videos

[@FarmingInsider]

They sag bc they were a little too long for the grapple dimensions. Baler guys were moving too fast that day lol

[@aidenkoster6427]

I know the feeling of being a little rushed when the weather is good and your baling

[@bigbriankansas8362]

Great video. How do they get unloaded off of the trailer? By hand or machine?

[@jorrittiemens334]

I love your vids!!

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you Jorrit!

[@kellyhorter5381]

So you really are doing work over there? Really nice video!

[@FarmingInsider]

We do occasionally work! lol thanks for watching

[@samanthaolee2910]

More Carl!

[@FarmingInsider]

We are trying! Lol

[@alexolee798]

Agreed!

[@chrissilsby4312]

I have never seen loading in a box trailer like this, usually watch them load on flat truck and/or trailer.

[@BirconuGaming]

Nice video 😊👌

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you!

[@johnpringle9967]

At 9:00 minutes in, regarding the big fella holding that board like if it had boobs, he'd marry it, and as an electrician myself on a job-site, whenever an electricians passed a big husky carpenter carrying one 2x4, we would say, "Feeling a little board are ya?" Get it? Feeling a little board.., and .... Feeling a little bored...? From Canada, where we have a bit of big farming here as well, love your videos. I always wanted to be a farmer and operate machinery. To me you guys are livin' the dream.

[@FarmingInsider]

Haha I like that! Thanks for the support John!

[@aidenkoster6427]

Also love the weekly vids

[@tylerw2464]

Good stuff

[@FarmingInsider]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@barrychouinard4019]

How far away was this load of hay going? Do you sell much that goes a long way from home? Carl's not going to give ya a good grade without earning it!

[@FarmingInsider]

This was going about 700 miles. Yes we seem to sell more and more every year out of state. There are no free hand outs with Carl! When you get a compliment it is sincere

[@falfas55bgas]

Carl must be a wanted man they way he avoids that camera. How do they unload the trailer?

[@FarmingInsider]

They drive in with a skid steer usually or hand unload

[@jetegtmeier71]

just a question... Wouldn't the trailer doors work just as well if not better than that plywood that Carl is using ?

[@FarmingInsider]

Lol, yeah maybe, The plywood helps in a pinch and keeps Carl busy

[@amandaboutton2099]

An A- from Carl? Did he agree to this? Big if true.

[@FarmingInsider]

He eventually said, “I for incomplete”

[@pakviroti3616]

What is Carl supposed to be doing?

[@FarmingInsider]

Haha... Acting kinda like a funnel so the hay doesn't catch

[@LoefflerFarms]

What model number is that telehandler? And do you still got a bunch of hay for sale?

[@FarmingInsider]

JCB 535-95 We have very little available. I wish we had more

[@LoefflerFarms]

Ya same here we are out and I was looking for a couple hundred to get by until first cut and I don't think you are terribly far away

[@stevenloheac7655]

How much weight you get on that load?

[@FarmingInsider]

Did not scale out, but probably around 18-19 ton

[@chrissilsby4312]

How much does a box trailer like this weigh?

[@FarmingInsider]

Probably 18-19 ton load weight

[@chrissilsby4312]

So a standard load with hay along with tractor and trailer is 80,000Lbs.

[@FarmingInsider]

@@chrissilsby4312 never over 80,000

[@constructionwatcher5381]

How do they get the hay out of the trailer? Do they break up the bundles?

[@FarmingInsider]

Yes many will just break them up. You need a loading dock to effectively machine unload them

[@constructionwatcher5381]

@@FarmingInsider Thanks.

[@Matevz96]

@@FarmingInsider Are curtain side trailers not widely used in the USA? Over here in Europe they are most popular trailer type. They are great for hay, you just open one side and load/unload from there.

[@ryanorange310]

Do a 1 hour video one day

[@FarmingInsider]

We aren’t that interesting!

[@ryanorange310]

@@FarmingInsider Oh can you do a equipment tour

[@kridder6268]

You have a really interesting operation and I enjoy your videos. Only suggestion I would make is if Carl doesn’t want to be on camera respect that and move on. I’m sure Carl is a character off camera and probably funny as hell but grant him his wishes. I look forward to watching your channel for the upcoming seasons.

[@FarmingInsider]

That is extremely nice of you to look out for him, and thank you. At moments I do see how it would appear that way but I promise that he regularly asks for us to get the camera out and his family loves watching the videos. The farm would never put him in a public position he isn’t comfortable with. He means far too much to us

[@kridder6268]

@@FarmingInsider I appreciate you correcting me and my intentions were not accusing of trying to embarrass him or anything like that. Just that I’m one who doesn’t like to get my face on camera. I have an excuse- I’m short, bald, and UGLY....😂. Thanks again for your reply.

[@Oldtruckguy37]

If you knew Carl, and I am proud to say I do, you would know he thrives on the attention...even if he won't admit it. He loves when people recognize him in public! We're all waiting for the Carl t-shirts!!!!

[@leviwulff]

Come on. Give a grade....lmao

[@FarmingInsider]

Hahah! He eventually said “I for incomplete”
