Great video!!! I always enjoy watching your videos. Learn something new everytime. Thanks for the great content!!!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@bigjim5723]

boy i tell ya -way different than how we made hay when i was a kid. ur set up is nice for a one man outfit for sure. very nice equipment. thumbs up for ya every video-thanks

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks!

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

I hate when that happens! Seems like the knots in the poly twine don't always want to stay tight. I've actually started to lightly melt them with an open flame after I tie the knot and that seems to help!

[@DLHFarms]

That’s a good idea

[@canvids1]

A great video Dennis. Picking up bales with the tractor sure saves time and your back. I can see you have had lots of practice just by the way you handle the grapple. Practice makes perfect!!!

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah I’ve done it a time or two haha

[@strangefruit8776]

That’s a good time to be carrying a pitchfork. They are a life saver for cleaning up wads of hay. That’s about the only time I can say I want to use a pitchfork. Lol

[@DLHFarms]

Haha !

[@joesanders652]

Brother i hope you make money off your hay cause you damn sure work hard for it! Hats off to a hard working family

[@DLHFarms]

I make a little but that’s about it

[@marhuf]

Dang, I hate when the twine breaks, it's always a pain. The hay looks super Dennis, and the bale count was great. I'm glad it's going good for you.

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks 😊

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Good team work..love watching your videos..you work hard to produce good hay..

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks! Yes we try hard

[@stephensfarms7165]

Hey Dennis nice hay field. Looks nice all stacked. I remember having twine problems too. Just if you don’t get that tie knot just right, it breaks every time. Thanks 🙏 enjoyed watching. 👍👍👍👍✨

[@DLHFarms]

Yep sometimes it tries to tie right on your knot too and that will cause an issue

[@stephensfarms7165]

DLH Farms : I remember those days. Very hot work. Had no cab with NO a/c back then. LOL 😂

[@MrTodd51]

Country girl comes on the job and says "what happened". She then climbs on board and starts pitching hay. Can you imagine one of those frail city girls, that are out protesting for what ever, coming on the job and doing that, not going to happen. Country folks keep this country going God Bless you all.

[@DLHFarms]

Exactly! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@newhampshire-bob1604]

Looks like that field produced some real good hay!

[@DLHFarms]

It did great

[@donmacdonald7758]

Good year for hay it appears, difficult with the rain. Thanks.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah the rain won’t stop now so I can start second cutting

[@jimoakley3436]

You have a nice line of hay equipment, as a kid on a cow / calf operation I would have loved to have equipment that nice.But we got by and never had to buy hay or hire it done.

[@DLHFarms]

👍🚜🚜🚜

[@tristanmartin6037]

We also have a Kuhn accumulator love it but we spray furniture polish on it so that the bales slip down it and it seems to work really well

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah i use slip plate on mine it’s a graphite paint

[@cntslesfabrication]

You can definitely tell how steep the side of the hill was

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah that hill is a 19 degree slope I measured it the other day

[@cntslesfabrication]

@@DLHFarms it looked like it

[@jeremylastnamenunya907]

You aren't kidding about the camera not capturing the steepness of the hills around there! My wife and I just got back from spending a few nights up at Olde Mill in Laurel Fork and we did a little bit of driving around in that area. I would think there's quite a pucker factor operating equipment on some of those slopes we saw. I'm pretty sure we passed by the company yard on our way to and from Meadows of Dan, although I must admit it wasn't until about our third time going by that I said, "Hey, I think I recognize that place from KZbin!" Beautiful country up there and SO much cooler than where we live.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I bet you went right by here 👍

[@nailedt0thecr0ss]

The kuhns accumulater is the only way to go we got one last year n they are so user friendly n pay for themselves in no time love watching your videos of them n had same problem as you this year n oh boy is it a job to clean out lol

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah they are great but nothing is perfect

[@casto-]

I couldn't help but laugh at the mess in the sledge! I know that feeling all too well 😂. I was helping a mate of mine do some baling this last Saturday. He's got a 8 bale (uk type) sledge behind the baler. I was in a ridge and furrow field doing the headland, next thing I know is the sledge has run over a bale which it let out going over to a ridge,, followed by the rest of the pack 😂😣.

[@DLHFarms]

Haha stuff happens

[@casto-]

@@DLHFarms 😂 yeah but why does it happen when you take ur eye off the game for 2 seconds?!

[@DLHFarms]

That’s what it always does haha

[@davegenske8973]

Great video as always. I always pickup or learn something I can use. How long is the flatbed trailer. I have a 10 bale accumulator also. That trailer just seems right sized

[@DLHFarms]

I think it’s 35 feet

[@matthewsims359]

Man, thanks for sharing these videos. I dont do hay or construction but have always loved equipment. Your videos are just good wholesome videos and dont have to worry about hearing a bunch of negativity and cussin or political nonsense. Its hard to find that these days on regular tv.

I'm new to your channel and I really like your videos, I have to agree that is some steap ground, I bet that can make some people's butt pucker if there not used to it take care and have a good one, I'll be watching.

[@DLHFarms]

Yes my wife will not bale that field it stresses her out

[@RobertJones-ey9qz]

I saw an accumulator once that looked like it just drug the bales along on the ground. When it got a certain number of bales in it, it would raise a bar at the back and release them. I would think that would be pretty rough on the hay. I liked the way yours works better. As far as the mess you had when it wasn't putting the one string on, couldn't you just go into it slowly and not have to rerake it? I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking. Interesting video. Good luck with the hay. Have a good day.

[@DLHFarms]

Actually that’s exactly what i did. I didn’t re-rake It

[@sunshaker01]

You could build a magnet mounting point for your camera in that cab out of double sided tape and a washer. Get some strong double sided tape and a washer about the size of the magnet on your camera, once you know where you want your camera to mount place the doublle sided tape and washer there.

[@DLHFarms]

Good idea problem is I never think about it until I’m trying to film haha

[@MrFakit]

This always happens at the hottest time of the day ;)

[@DLHFarms]

[@PhatboyHD88]

That would be the day my wife would help me clean up hay 😂😂😂25 years of marriage and i cant get her to wash her own Jeep lol , not a once.. whats your secret ?😂

[@bjenkins803]

Man the John Deere handles that baler so much better. I can only imagine how fun it would be to round bale that field lol.

[@DLHFarms]

Yeah it handles it great and so quiet inside the cab. I’ve round baled that field many times you have to be really careful where you put the bales haha

[@bjenkins803]

@@DLHFarms I bet so with round bales. Probably isn't too much fun fishing for bales in the woods lol.

Never realized it was so easy to pick up that many bales with 2 fingers. Lol

Not one bit! Haha

[@resharpsharpening3024]

Does the square hay bailer ever get chocked up with hay from feeding to fast ? Thanks Dennis. Love your videos

[@DLHFarms]

Yes it definitely can it will shear a pin and you have to dig it out by hand and then replace the shear pin. Not fun.

[@diesel4life7410]

I know you probably delt with worse but I did my first hilly farm this year and it was sketch lol most the farms I do are kinda flat but this one county not far from here is all large rolling hills

Haha I doubt it

[@ciaranthompson11]

Great video been watching your videos for a while now. They are fantastic! Just curious what type of knot do you use to switch balls of twine?

[@DLHFarms]

I use a square knot.

[@ciaranthompson11]

Thank you!!!

[@warrenklingensmith1241]

Dennis do you know every hay producer in the hall of shame had a kabota rake behind them. Warren in Florida

[@DLHFarms]

It’s the best rake I’ve ever owned

[@Northeastohio]

Our 5070 miss ties switching balled as well. Can't figure out why

[@DLHFarms]

Mine don’t always just occasionally

[@kennethheern4896]

Our 326 does it also. Ours does it because the needles have groove cut by the twine and every knot hangs up in them.

[@longviewfarm226]

The new Kuhn accumulator the top on the chute is open so you can just pull the bales out without that mess.

[@DLHFarms]

Yep I’ve got one sitting in my shed right now, new AF10 haven’t got to use it yet because of the rain.

[@karleenkuhns3487]

I was going to say the same thing. You'd have a lot easier time cleaning it out with the new open chute. You could also hand tie a couple of bales if you wanted to. Can't wait to see what you think of the new AF10.

[@DLHFarms]

Karleen Kuhns I have made an assembly video and I have done a comparison video with the two units side by side, I haven’t edited them yet but they are coming soon. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to actually use it yet but we have had thunderstorms everyday for weeks. Hopefully I can use it soon!

[@1harrymac]

is there not a way to manually trip gate to let the hay slip out the back

[@DLHFarms]

You can but it will only unload the tied bales and most of the loose will stay stuck in there because of the gate levers
