I used to square twenty plus thousand coastal bales. Our bales were 34 to 36 inches. The bale Barron likes shorter bales to work consistently. That’s the way they pay for themselves. As a buyer of bale bundles, I prefer to buy bundles by the ton , so I don’t get screwed by 50 to 55lb bales. Of course the guy selling doesn’t like that. However most people have the mindset of : a bale is a bale mentality.

Dejavu. I know you watch Farming Insider. Big with th baron. 2 string tho. Seems ya would need those attachments for loaders to handle them. Also like you showed us you would have to get the height right for trucking. Few things to work out.

After watching all the previous videos on this set up and you explaining how you’d have to change your set up to accommodate this tool, is this something that could be set up in a stationary position, run your operation like you do now, bring a stack over and split it in half and have a guy loading this by hand, get yourself a ramp on a 25 degree slope, rollers on the bottom, safety screen on the bottom 4 feet for safety, have the guy throw on the ramp and the bales slide down into this bundler, makes a bundle and dumps it out and have a guy cleaning up the bundles in the back, that way you don’t have to change your set up and have to rent/buy/sub contract the bundle picking in the field

To Watch, Or Not To Watch Great video btw, love how everyone worked around the machine

[@brianocallaghan7716]

Definitley need to remove the hammerstrap from that tractor hitch. Your current configuration can cause binding.

Krone is making a big baler that can a big bale that is divided in to 9 small bales

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Is it the same one they had 6+ years ago? I looked at one. The 9 bales were still 100+ lbs.

[@flcowboy1328]

I make 2-3k bales a year using a Khrone 1270 Multi Pack baler These bales are 2x4 and we choose to make them 7 feet long. One bale of heavy alfalfa weighs close to 1000 lbs Each bale can contain 7 mini bales, and those would weigh north of 140 lbs each That’s a bit much for most buyers to carry around by hand

[@jamesleonard4607]

We have barns full of 21 bale bundles of green alfalfa . Last year we couldn’t sell them fast enough now we can’t give them away.

[@jefflawsonqwest]

Out of curiosity, where are you and what price are you asking?

[@jamesleonard4607]

New Mexico anywhere from 8 to 12.

[@dirklamoreaux5182]

I’ve still never seen a flat bed truck loaded with the 3 string bundles going down the road

[@JacobFernandez-cw1qt]

On the wrong coast

[@hansboni5285]

Check a old Krone Multi Baler ..

[@paulstorey9750]

Hello from ohio Trevor Probably won't work with your 3 tie bales but a bale baron is what you need. We demoed an arcusin a few years ago too slow and the bundles suck. Check out farming insider the made the switch!

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

The bale baron won’t work for these bales, and we can’t run 2 string bales. They are too slow for us.

[@SlipShodBob]

You would think with 3 strings bale baron would make one rather than limit their market. You could always carry it as you normally and set it up as a static unit with a roller thing to feed the only thing would be is turning a layer from your cruiser to a single line.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

The 3 string market is so small, I get why they don’t make it.

[@SlipShodBob]

@@BalesHayFarmandRanch but you would think if they are still making the balers there must still be a reasonable one as otherwise I would have thought firms like AGCO would have completely stopped them and other than being loaded into box trailers being you'd still be able to use your squeezes

[@orrinandkarenhoppe3974]

Looks to me if it helps you sell more hay in helps you more than the customer because you don't use it they don't buy

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

That’s exactly the point.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

ooh Trevor..... not a good idea to call your sister an idiot!

[@jefflawsonqwest]

I feel like we’re a little out of order here on videos.

[@daveevans2710]

Trevor, I'm confused. Is this the same bundler that was on your video 2 weeks ago??

[@GlennCrawford]

My crystal ball shows this will not work that well.

[@tomesguerra5495]

Dude why did you show us that equipment! with out the demo!🤷🤦‍♂️

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]
