The First Bales of 2023!!!

[@JoeBJones]

Great video. I've never seen one of those stack wagons in action. Nice, certainly a future consideration!

[@thebalerman]

Thanks for watching. I have grown to like that stacker actually. The first year was a little rough just figuring everything out on it and becoming efficient with it.

[@jeffferanec4526]

And so it begins, happy haying & thx 4 the video!

[@thebalerman]

👍 thanks for watching

I haven't seen a twine baler since 1959 in a John Deere 14T model. Dad started farming in 1969 and raised all his hay for Dairy Cows over on the Coast of Washington. Everything to be hauled over the mountains had to be wire tied . He bought 3 John Deere 214 WS balers and put up 1000 acres of alfalfa 4 cuttings a year. We maintained a bale weight of 115 to 125 pounds a piece. I enjoyed your video.

[@thebalerman]

Really! Man just the opposite here, wire tie balers are kind of a thing of the past. I've actually never even seen a wire tie baler working in person. Everything locally is all twine tie. There are a few hold overs from the old dairy farms to the north and west of me that still run wire but that's about it. That's pretty neat to hear from others and how different things are done from region to region.

Nice looking hay. We are at least 3 wks from making hay in Michigan

[@thebalerman]

Thanks. We have hay that really needs to be cut in the next two weeks before it gets too far along. Hopefully we start getting some decent windows shortly.

[@jimcox6687]

@@thebalerman lot of our grass hay is only ankle high

[@thebalerman]

@@jimcox6687 Yeah you guys are quite a ways behind us. Ours is all waist high at least

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Please make a video of your tractor. A walk around and a look under the hood. Please let us know how you like it and have you had any problems with it and would you recommend one. Thankyou.

[@thebalerman]

I can do that easy enough. Stay tuned!

[@frfarmranch3837]

Fantastic looking hay. Any reason for not doing a tie tier on your Stackliner? Maybe you do, I just couldn’t tell.

[@thebalerman]

I haven’t had any luck with the tie tiers on the 1032. And for them to be close to working the bales have to be too long. So I use the wires to tie my stacks. The wires work way better than tie tiers anyway.

[@frfarmranch3837]

@@thebalerman That makes sense. I also run a 1032 and I found that using your tie-tier on the 5th layer rather than the 6th works better for my hay. I run a New Holland 575 baler and it makes super tight bales, also why the tie tiers probably work for me. But I get what you’re saying.

[@thebalerman]

Yeah I use a 326 and 575. Make rock solid bales. Tie tier just doesn’t work out well with 36” or shorter bales. Also the reverse tie doesn’t always work well and if you don’t do that that back of the stack will fall apart. With the wire I can dump loads anywhere it’s flat. I drop them in the field and load trailers and wagons and then at the years and stack in barns the stacker won’t fit in.

[@hansherygers4324]

Do you put the wire mesh between each level or just every other level?

[@thebalerman]

@@hansherygers4324 I put it between 2-3 and 5-6.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Forgot to mention that the tractor I am referring to is your Duetz Allis. Thankyou.

[@ronaldcrohn4020]

Did your 1032 come from Indiana? It’s a dead ringer for one I had. Thanks for the videos !

[@thebalerman]

Yes it did. Came with the quarter turn shoot even though I already had one 😉

[@ronaldcrohn6591]

I sold it to a guy in 2016. I seen that plywood side broken in same way mine was. Small world. Here’s to a great hay season for the both of us!

[@thebalerman]

Yeah I’d guess i bought it from the guy you sold it too. It is a small world after all haha

[@hattcreekfarm]

I’ve started mine too here in North Alabama!!! Just got the upper side cut this evening & it’s supposed to rain tonight, so I guess it’ll get washed, but that’s what they make tedders for right?

[@thebalerman]

Yep Tedder will definitely help with rained on hay. And if it’s fresh cut when it rains it won’t affect the hay that much. Hopefully you don’t continue getting rain

[@timstevens2866]

How long did it take for U to get used to that stack wagon?

[@thebalerman]

I’d say one year to get the hang of it and be efficient with it. You always get better but it definitely takes time before you’re happy you bought one haha. At first I was ready to park it. My suggestion is to bale some and then stack to be fine with Tom make sure your bales are set right. Length weight density moisture all have an affect. You need to make the bales to where you really wouldn’t want to pick them up by hand to work well with the stacker.

[@Art-ot2jn]

Bales with net wrap no sheds

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Some of us hate on board videos, want to look at the equipment working with no commentary.

[@thebalerman]

Thanks for the feedback. I have done no speaking videos before and they were a flop not to mention that's not my style. I like to explain what's going on and what I'm doing because not everyone knows. Also it lets those that also do hay learn from what I'm doing whether its mistakes I make or things I do that work out. So you're welcome to stick around and watch my videos but if that's what you're looking for there are other videos out there.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Only clicked on the video to look at your tractor as there are so few featuring Duetz Allis tractors. I just love the look of them. @@thebalerman

[@بندرابرتهيم]

need transport equipment like this, how much is the value?

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

How long are your bales?...... We went upstate and bought 245 bales of Alfafa and come home a were lucky enough that the J.D. baler the man used didn't make the bales too long to run thru our Bale Baron.....Only hands on was feeding them into the Baron..... The Bundles are mechanically handled with a loader..

[@thebalerman]

We make our bales about 38" to work well with the stacker. We are going to try to go to 36" this year and see if the stacker will work well with that size. With us not using tie tiers I think it may work with the shorter bales. We will see.

[@farmingforfunandprofit940]

@@thebalerman Marcrest Mfg Sends a bale length guage along with each Baron......Optimum bale lenght is about 34 in.....anything over 36 may create a jam where the Primary bale plunger starts the bale into the bundlle chamber followed by the secondary plunger that finishes adding the bale to the 3 stack,,,, Most Stoppage issues can be corrected with a minimum of downtime..

[@AmisCorolla]

Where i can buy machine like that?

[@thebalerman]

They're around. They're at auctions from time to time. Depends on the ares how common they are. More common out west.
