Will the New Haybine Work? Cutting/Raking/Wrapping Hay Continues

We're dodging rain showers to get our next field of hay baled and wrapped. Alan uses the 820 John Deere and the new-to-us New Holland 489 Haybine to cut. Will it work? The hay got raked and was ready to be rolled up with the New Holland 853 Round Baler behind the International 1256. Lastly, the hay needs to be wrapped up. Some of the hay was on river bottom ground that has a pond between it and the farm, so the Case 530 is needed to load the round bales up. To do that, we use an Anderson RB 200 Individual Bale Wrapper. The Case 830 spins the bales while plastic gets layered on each bale to seal them and allow them to ferment. Wrapping hay like this is a great way to preserve hay to keep it from molding, heating, and burning.

Move right along with that haybine. Good to see people who can live without a discbine

[@richardhoover7569]

The man who does my mechanic work who worked at our local NH dealer for 15 years. He told me the 489 has one weakness, if that roller chain in there goes bad it will ruin the wobble box. He has one and replaces that chain regularly to prevent that.

Proud dad moment watching Justin doing the work

[@timlee2243]

My grandpa use to run new holland haying equipment he had a new holland haybine and a new Holland round baler

[@paulcasefarms9933]

That Justin is turning out to be some good help! Thanks for the video. I do not always comment but I watch them all.

[@johnnypurkey7545]

Great to have children that will help out great bunch of kids 😁

[@KeithFinkFamilyFarm]

Ah! This one warmed my heart. Love seeing all of the neighborhood kids having a ball out in the field where the work of the nation is being accomplished. Justin, you're doing a fantastic job. I'm sure you're a real encouragement to your parents. The hay looks beautiful. I'm taking a refresher course in patience as I wait for a weather window to finish up second crop which is now getting a bit ripe. We are in a pattern of every-other-day rain. About 3"/wk. Oh well, I'm getting many little jobs done around the shop as I wait. God is blessing all of us richly. Keep up the good work! Keith-

[@JamesSmith-ru2pw]

I just love people that gets in the comments section of videos and tells that person they r doin something wrong even though they been doing the thing they r doing for years and learn from years of experience it makes me smh great job keep the videos coming its nice to see u passing on ur experiences to the kids may God bless your family

[@mikei2141]

Glad you were able to beat the rain and get the hay done. Hopefully some day you can get a new clutch put in the 530, looks like it would be a very useful tractor.

[@andrewlemke2669]

I miss the 530 too. Had a 430 growing up

[@ileenmcminn2062]

That belt looks like it is the original because of the paint on it!

[@DonWelter]

Glad you got that bottom done. Hope you've managed to dodge the disastrous flooding in Mn, Iowa, and SD.

[@trinitydairy]

Yes, we have. It's horrible what people have lost from the devastation.

[@MichaelDoering-js2gl]

Hi Alan and family, I had a similar issue with my haybine once, both top and bottom rollers must run in time with each other, when I ran into real thick hay one roller would slow and make a banging noise, turns out one of the keys fell out of the keyway on the bottom roller. It is hard to see and maybe a 50 cent part. My machine was an older version of yours. Take care👍🇨🇦🚜❤️

[@br927]

I said to the wife that you were going to buy that 489, and I was right! I was as happy as you were ! I love the old haybines! I started on a 467, I believe it was a 7ft cut, traded it for a 469, 9ft! Run it with a 620 JD, and a 770 Oliver diesel! Loved both tractors! I'v run into a lot of things cutting hay, even naked people, finally they had nowhere to hide and they were about 8 streakers going across the hay field!🤣! Wait until you get a skunk caught in the rollers and have to pry it out!🤣! Justin, you the man! I was helping my Dad running equipment at your age!

[@nailbender7223]

I had a 469 and never seen another one. Bought it about 15 miles away, used it for 15 years and only changed the sickle. Granted only cut 40 acres a year.

[@farawayfarm2520]

I know all about that belt. After 4 years of dry summers. 18-21. I had a terrible time cutting the first field in 22. Finally occurred to me that the belt was loose. My adjustment is getting short. I should probably get a spare belt.

[@davidbarnes706]

The haybine looked like it worked good

[@kevinwilliams563]

Looks like a pretty good yield Alan. Amazing what a little rain can do to spark that growth. Justin is learning fast and doing a good job for you.

[@strong40]

I grew up with a 489. I remember replacing the wobble box more than once. The pan that the guards bolt on to was also bent since the machine was new and would bind the sickle bar. It was a struggle many years. A discbine is a big improvement but you'll likely need a bigger tractor than that John Deere

[@ClassicCarRevivals]

I have 3 of them haybines they work great!

[@fullers1966]

Happy Fourth of July even to all your viewers God bless take care and stay safe

[@nailedt0thecr0ss]

I really like your videos brother. I just wanted to say that. God bless.

[@hartungdairyfarm0713]

Nice haybine 👍. I remember when we upgraded from a 477 to a 492 haybine, it was like a Cadillac compared to the old one. I like those old chain balers, I just wish the bales weren't so long

[@trinitydairy]

Yeah I wish it was a 4x5

[@davevonmuenster6649]

Thank you Jordan for your commentary. Loved this video.

[@dlzastera]

Good buy on the new used haybine Alan.

[@theburnhams2925]

Another good video, Alan! Noticed you kept a bale on your 3-point for a counterbalance when loading bales on the wagon. Always enjoy your videos (although, at one point there I was seein' a lot more "green" than "red." But that is a sweet little (and no doubt economical) Johnny. Why use "more tractor" than the job requires? Also: Farm Kidz! Ain't they GREAT? If all that energy can be properly "channeled" and encouraged, our Nation has reason to hope. God bless America (as, no doubt He has in the past)! btw, still no Thank$ option.....

[@rubenmanitowabi5671]

Another good video nice action shots lol good to see them young ones out to visit the farm and Justin running the tractor an such

[@gunnarbeck225]

Those haybines are tanks they run forever I know I am 50 years old and my dad and his lifetime only went through two

[@rc3226]

Nice video. We have a 492 haybine which is similar. We always ran our head raised up with the hydraulic cylinder for our cut height instead of dragging the shoes on the ground all the time.

[@ianrobertson4616]

our old new Holland the shoes were wore off it, just ran on the cylinder for cut height.

[@timkessler4894]

In my day everything was square bales the good old days of sheared pins and untied bales. I never saw round bales til your channel we never would have a place to put them. Great video. Tim ❤

[@mennoreuten1563]

Everybody loves good hay, enjoyed watching the video greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

[@anthonyhengst2908]

Those 489 haybines extremely popular machine. We use a John Deere 1209 and we are the oddity. Good to know about the belt, Our John Deere also has a belt that runs the reel, it seems like ours is easier to get at. Good see your 530 in action, our 630 was cheering it on!! Justin (??) is getting to be good with the camera too.

[@trinitydairy]

Jordan is our go pro expert.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

1209's were great machines in their day! But when they plugged (point rows), they plugged real good. Or really BAD, if you had to unplug it.

[@anthonyhengst2908]

@@MorganOtt-ne1qj we were fortunate not to plug it too bad thus far but we do carry a big pipe wrench to turn it all backwards just in case.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@anthonyhengst2908 YEP! 👍

[@fazeogrez7521]

⁠​⁠@@anthonyhengst2908haha we have a couple 1219s and a 1209 for our smaller fields and us too we carry wrenches so we can reverse it if it plugs up bad

Another very interesting video Thank you 😊😊😊😊😊

[@richardgash2349]

Great video thank you for sharing

[@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586]

Great video, wish I could smell the hay. Looks like the kids are having fun. The fawn story made me remember. We were in a doctors parking lot last year almost in the middle of where Lansing and East Lansing meet and two young deer (still had their spots) came out of the trees at the edge of the parking lot and started drinking water out of a puddle close to the edge of the pavement. Almost couldn't believe it. Got pictures too. Hope you didn't find the fawn. Thanks for showing them hauling the hay. Justin just keeps getting more experience all of the time and learning well how to measure with his eyes.

[@johnnypurkey7545]

Jordan is a great narrator.

[@ADSC2006]

Good Stuff.

[@goatfarmmb]

Always nice to have enough feed for the cattle or any other livestock that we as farmers keep. Sure sometimes the feed can get a little mature then we like for the dairy cattle but at least second crop will be a little younger. I can remember one year we had the weather was rainy and first crop was a little maturer then we liked but strange thing was the cattle milked very well with that feed. Awesome video always cool to see older equipment still being used. Sometimes I wish companies still made equipment like that.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Try a piece of window screen in front of your radiator. You can just blow the stuff off, and it doesn't get stuck in the radiator. You just have to do it more often, but you stay on top of maintenance. Great video!

[@countryboy3201]

Great video

[@Andy-ix2ox]

How many wraps you put on a bale? Tried to count but got a bit lost. That little jd is an amazing little tool, she has to be the hardest working one left in the world, she’s well able for that haybine even with the good conditioner rollers and they take a bit of driving. Regards from Ireland you guys are getting way better weather than we are our stuff has stopped growing it’s that cold and harsh.

[@trinitydairy]

For this hay, I was doing 23 revolutions with the wrapper.

[@ronniewayne5748]

Great video as always

I love your videos. I learn a lot. Thank you for your time.

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Enjoyed your video think your right keeping the belts tight. Just my opinion belts stretch need be replaced but keeping the right tension makes a world of difference. Have a great day sir.

[@timlee2243]

Nice video I’ve been watching ur videos for a couple years now I look forward tor ur videos what was ur 4th of July like

We had a video covering the 4th of July.

Old Case tractor to the rescue

[@Thewilsonfarm]

Great video it's great see the family working together. Reminds me of when I was a kid now i do it all alone. What percent moisture would you guess that hay at.

[@trinitydairy]

I would guess around 40

[@deancampfield4703]

June grass

[@markpigman209]

You should haul a lot more rock in that swamp road to build it up

Carlton County is the 3rd week in August

[@deancampfield4703]

We had a 489 darn good machine outlived a couple owners just sayin 😢

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

Tks for sharing. Hay looked good. Really good. Was that about a regular count for bales? Who was driving the 1066? Out. I worked on my cousin farm he had a 530 D. That was the power house for the farm.

[@trinitydairy]

That was the first good crop of hay I've gotten down there. My brother, Paul, was in the 1066.

[@ronaldfeuerstein435]

@trinitydairy it looked really thick. Hope you get lots more. Hope corn going good? The corn here in Michigan is well over knee high by the 4th. Im 6'4 and some of looks over shoulder high already.

[@larryanglea3458]

I had nh haybine and nh hay baler just like yours they were great ,thick hay good luck how the milk price ?

[@trinitydairy]

The milk price is okay, about 20 dollars a hundred.

[@tractorboy373]

What is your favorite tractor you have

[@trinitydairy]

Probably the 1256

You are just making a slew of videos recently. Hope it pays off.

Good afternoon...trying to be first comment!

[@tm679]

I thought the kids or someone got a little ford tractor a few years ago? How come you don't use that

[@trinitydairy]

Something came apart with the clutch, so it won't move on its own. Just waiting for a stretch of dry weather to get it split and fixed.

[@pocketchange1951]

👍👌❤️🇨🇦

[@350mack]

If you got the fawn the birds would be all over it or the mother would be right there. 😢 hopefully you didn't 😊

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

I have witnessed a Bald Eagle laying claim to a fawn that I had mowed over, and the buzzards were just standing around, agreeing that it was probably a good meal, but even 15 didn't challenge the Eagle. Sad part of spring farm jobs, but it is part of life.
