The First Automatic Hay Bale Ejector John Deere 1957 Documentary Infomercial

John deere always makes farming look so easy in their commercials!!! Lol.

[@rebelgaming7718]

I think that is every tractor company lol

[@joakrage3972]

There is a massey Harris combine commercial I seen a while back that is quite comical with how much they show that life will just be a cake walk on the farm after that harvester is bought

[@farmerbill6855]

Deere always had the farm wife on the tractors too. To show ease of operation and comfort. Heck, I think they still do.

I hauled hay all threw the 80’s and never saw nothing like that, Tennessee didn’t need one I reckon!

[@growthefarmup2606]

Never saw one myself either. I bet it doesn't work quite as well as depicted in John Deere land, add a 30 mph wind and real world conditions.... the less moving parts the better. It's a heck of a contraption to see run tho!

[@patloebertmann537]

14t was a very good baler

[@dodge-ut6ti]

Look's to be very short bales. = alot of handling

[@growthefarmup2606]

Definitely built for a world of manual handling. That is alot of "bale chuckin"

[@danw6014]

I think the idea was once you put them on the elevator you didn't stack them, just empty the wagon.

[@brianjonker510]

@@danw6014 Yeah that short they would tumble into a compact pile.

[@LedgemereHeritageFarm]

I wonder how many were sold? I’ve seen a lot of 14T and 14W and not one had a kicker. Once the 24 and 214T came out, they were more common I think. This barn conveyors I’ve seen were very interesting as there wasn’t really anyone up there stacking, it was just a big pile of baled hay

@@LedgemereHeritageFarm the farm I worked on in highschool was a great big bank barn with five mouws and two threshing floors as well as two granaries and two lofts above the threshing floors. We had a system made by Allied. The first section went up at a 45 ° angle above the feed room roof and then vertically up the outside of barn. From there it went horizontal across the peak of the barn was hung from the original hay trolley track. There where gates over each mouw, or they could all the way to the end and fall into the end mouw. We would use a John Deere 40 foot elevator to fill up to the beams across the barn and from there on fill all the way to the top with the Allied. The bales were 70 pounds from a John Deere 327 kicker baler and we stacked every one of them.
