WILL IT STAY ON?! OUR HAY ON THE MOVE !

[@geroldsss]

Dear Joanna and Nick, a nice video with a good outcome this time. During the trip, I always thought that maybe a hay bale would fall down. Sometimes it wobbled 😬 and the drive around the curve was hard. You both did a good job 🤗
 Kind wishes, Gerold and Ilse

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you Gerold and Ilse , it’s definitely a bit of a nerve wracking experience! Glad it’s safely in and then we start to focus on the next thing!

Great job on getting the hay done 👏👏 John be so proud of you both. x Jo why is a stick tied on back baler when baling ?? 🤙🤙👍👍

[@nickj5488]

I added the stick last year to try and encourage the bales to fall and roll out of the path of the next lap. It kind of works. I know there are sleds and stuff you can use but they don't seem worth the hassle for this small field

[@DaleFarm]

It worked! A little trick

[@gerryoconnor8751]

Make sure to empty all the hay out of the bale chamber before the winter Guys.

[@8023120SL]

At 12 years old I learned to drive on an International B250 tractor pulling a hay trailer very similar to yours. We had a hay elevator that hooked onto the side of the trailer and we’d just drive along the rows of bales with the elevator picking the bales up and lifting them up as high as you wanted to stack them. We’d normally stack 6 or 7 layers on the trailer at 25 bales per layer. Hay season in mid summer here in Australia was always rotten hot.

[@JohntyNich]

There’s a knack to stacking them that high though a bit trickier hand balling them up!

[@DaleFarm]

That sounds like a great machine to help stacking !! It’s a good workout when we do the job manually … as I’m sure you know in the heat it can feel overwhelming!

[@terrynoland487]

[@lazeppelin1]

Good job!!! I don’t know how y’all can handle stacking bales with shorts on. When I was young, like 10-12 years old, I tried but the bales shredded my legs. And I’d get the excess in my shoes. My legs itched just watching. 😞. But Nick keeps smiling 😊

[@DaleFarm]

Hehe the itchy feeling is horrible isn’t it Nick has tough legs haha

[@georgedoorley5628]

good job on getting all that lovely looking hay safely in the shed ..........nice feeling to put the baler away for the winter after another year of trouble fee service .......that mzt belarus looks in very good condition , you should give it a run on the mower some time .......your dad would be proud of you both .......the farm is in safe hands ..!

[@DaleFarm]

Hi George , yes we haven’t used the MTZ much but we did for muck spreading earlier in the year. Maybe next time we can get the MtZ on the baler perhaps. I know my dad did it that way x

I can remember having one of those balers when it was new. Yours has stood the test of time and should be good for many years to come. Small bales are a lot more fun than big bales even if a bit more work.

Thank you! Yes the baler has done many years of service , not made as many small bales the last few years but still good that we have the option as they are useful

Great driving Nick! Wonderful job to you both!

[@DaleFarm]

Thank you so much xx

[@adrianbew9641]

Hi Nick and jo, safe bale handling on trailer, build with bales length way on outside runners and cross ways in middle first row, then 2 or 3 across the front the second row and then as first row, this should break your joints and tie all bales together. This allows you to build a square stack and more on the trailer and safer to transport. Good job done though. Haymaking as a child was my highlight of the farming year and my job to stack the trailer ftom the age of 11 until I was 21.

[@nickj5488]

Thanks Adrian, every year we seem to stack them differently. I'll try and remember this. 👍🏻

Not easy explaining in writing 👍

Hey casto, I was meaning to ask you about the string method to get post heights. Not sure I've seen that. Obviously not related to this video.

[@casto-]

@@nickj5488 it’s just rather than a measuring stick/tape measure. Get a piece of string with a weight on the end (better a chain to be fair) the same length as the height of the post and attach it to the striking plate. It also gives you a plum line in the same way. Hope that makes sense😆🤦‍♂️

You put one row across the trailer, the next row along the trailer, and so on, then you tie in the corners by using two bales to hold one in,

[@DaleFarm]
