Vintage Hay Balers 1950's Part 1

Early American promotional film for baling & silage equipment

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

I love watching these old farming equipment documentaries...farming equipment back then seemed much more reliable...without all the bells, whistles or sensors to break down.

[@wrightfarmshoffman8663]

My grandfather would of loved to watch this , would of brought back memories

[@patrickbradley4339]

Get a real close up on the shit wagon Bob. Great video thank you

What ever you do, don't let the load of manure set up and freeze.

And always drive facing the wind.......

[@casedoumasr656]

Wrong title no hay bales here .Must be a over educated college person or some city slicker that put this together 😂🇺🇸

[@alanquail881]

Back in the good old days. : )

[@bmbpdk]

some one should really make these for Farming Simulator !

[@padraigmacmillan8292]

GamerBrian81 yes please

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

Yes. I like all the vintage American tractors and equipment.

[@ArmpitStudios]

Many are available.

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

Very cool video. I like all this old equipment. That Allis Chalmers B is nice and so is the Oliver. I think it was a model 70. The John Deere towards the end is a High Crop model. Those are highly collectible

[@albertwilliams8919]

Great history video,, remind me of those days in the mid 60est,at 9years old working with my dad,,

[@balmesh]

It's a great film - but bailing is what you do when your boat is sinking - or when you are threatened with jail! Packing straw into smaller packages is called BALING and it's done with a baler. Please put it right, you are leading the youngsters astray!!

[@seanmacdonald5255]

There are no hay balers in this "Vintage Hay Balers 1950's Part 1" video.

[@paulshimer1870]

Ya, all i saw was silage choppers.

[@brucethomas3100]

You're right, they may show a couple in part two.

[@thetchannel148]

It’s crazy to think that two row corn heads were such a large thing at the time.

[@bmbpdk]

Approximately twice as large as one rows.... :-D

[@paullyon-vv9tb]

Great video good old days ❤

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Those old tractors handling two rows was a big deal. My dad use to harvest corn silage with a 40hp Ford, maybe a 3000. Said the whole tractor would shake.

[@themonopolyguy4365]

6 foot cut width?! Two rows of corn?! People these days have it too easy

[@genechronister7085]

Nice vid! Nice to see things from the past!

[@8023120SL]

There's no way anyone but contractors would ever need gear that big!

[@willpierce4353]

What balers ? Interesting review but not a baker in sight.

Thanks for the video it was awesome

[@deanmeyer1815]

Great to see a WD45 diesel pulling a 2row chopper!

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

Id like to know the history of hay for pay. Maybe it started when man domesticated its livestock.

[@steveschierholz5272]

Do you know what a hay baler is?

[@greggergen4254]

What year is the film from? What year did the model 800 come out?

[@lancelot1953]

Hi Greg, this is a New Holland promo film about the Model 800 forage harvester (their heavy duty model), year ~1958+ and the ensilage carrier attachment that could be fitted on their manure spreader. It was pretty innovative for the time - New Holland had the most advanced R&D department of all the big agricultural manufacturers but they were not building tractors back then. Ciao, L (FoMoCo engineering).

[@greggergen9104]

@@lancelot1953 Thanks, I like the idea of converting your manure spreader to a forage wagon.

[@lancelot1953]

Hi Greg, NH made an incredible number of prototypes and unusual products especially when they came under the Sperry Corporation (1947~1986). Back then, engineering and manufacturing was relatively cheap compared to modern times - that is when NH really took off ahead (innovation-wise) of much larger established companies. We had a lot more farmers back then that used smaller machinery, this provided the ag-manufacturers with a large market with plenty of room for improvements. I wanted to be one of their engineers while in college - but unfortunately times/agriculture changed. Ciao, L

[@greggergen9104]

@@lancelot1953 It is always fun to think up new agricultural machines. The current machine that I think could revolutionize agriculture is 360 Rain autonomous irrigation. It only irrigates the rows, and can do the entire field on far less water.

[@jimtwisted1984]

That isnt a baler.

[@steveschierholz5272]

Where are the hay balers?

[@kirksway1]

where was the hay baler?

[@storminnormanz]

theres no balers!

[@mikecubes1642]

did anybody ever plant tall corn like in this video?

[@Antiquetractorsetc]

mike cubes not quite that tall. Maybe a foot shorter

[@farmcentralohio]

lol You just saw it in a video. Looks like it was planted and i'm sure it wasn't just for this video by that one farmer only.

[@oby-1607]

What apartment dweller said these were Hay Balers? These are forage harvesters and manure spreaders. Duh!

[@Alwis-Haph-Rytte]

WOW, what a baler. Can't believe it milked cows and planted hemp at the same time it slopped the hogs while sorting eggs.

[@pyroman6000]

I don't like the idea of using the shit spreader as a silage wagon. You're contaminating the silage with manure, and fecal microbes. Can't imagine that did much for silage quality or disease prevention. That's what they make chopper boxes for.

[@kirksway1]

they are using two different devices. One would never be used for the other.

[@farmcentralohio]

Ever heard of washing something out? The silage wagon part would be used once a year, summer into early fall. The rest of the time it would be a manure spreader. Back then cows were put out to pasture so there wasn't manure to haul year round. And then if someone's really concerned with it.. wait for it. You park the tractor and spreader facing up a hill near a water outlet, usually in the barn yard somewhere, pick up a garden hose, and your wash it out. It would be summer time at that point so there won't be anything freezing. In case you couldn't figure that out :)

[@ArmpitStudios]

So where’s part 2?
