Wrapping Hay With Cutting Edge Machinery

[@customwork7788]

You guys really hammer down when you have to! This is a well made video! Please keep up the content

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you! We have limited weather windows so when we get any opportunity we really try to abuse it!

[@Nick-B78]

Definitely agree about the steerable rear axle. We used to run the Claas Quadrant baler and that had the same thing, made it soooo much easier to turn and get in and out of the tight barn and yard area

[@FarmingInsider]

It makes a HUGE difference. It doesn't scuff the fields either

[@penningtonfarms6217]

Hey man, great content. Just found your channel and really like it. Keep up the good work and don’t ever lose your personal and family feel with your channel. Thanks for putting yourselves and your farm out there!

[@hoopsjk14]

We need more videos. !!!!! Really enjoy 👍keep up the good work !! NW OHIO

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you very much for the support! More videos coming!

[@aidenkoster6427]

I really like you entire setup it looks like it works very well together

[@FarmingInsider]

It gets the job done. Thank you!

[@2589rob]

Any possibility of showing how each piece of equipment works. It’s not always intuitive. As a non farmer I am amazed at how much work you guys do. I really appreciate these videos

[@FarmingInsider]

Rob, I’m glad you asked! It’s kinda funny. In 2022 we neither round baled nor wrapped a single strand of hay, but we are dropping another video today at 2 of a few different machines and I did my best to get up close and personal with the workings of the equipment. Thank you for the support

[@camdenscottt2558]

Making hay looks like a great time!

[@sinhnguyen4815]

You need a gauge to measure humidity in the soi. A stick 5 feet deep in the ground. Then when you water, you need to cover that field with a few inches of water. Minus rain.

[@FarmingInsider]

We don’t irrigate here

[@sinhnguyen4815]

@@FarmingInsider yeah but try that for some nice hay for your cows. Do you know how much people pay for animal beddings? A lot.

[@FarmingInsider]

@@sinhnguyen4815 we tend to get a significantly higher pay out for quality feed than bedding and it’s about the same process to make

[@sinhnguyen4815]

@@FarmingInsider Usually, people use woodchips or wood pellets for horse or chicken beddings for example. They're considered biomass, you know. But anyways, I look at the way people raise or treat their animals and I know a lot can be improved. High quality feed is definitely not provided in most places. In very specialized places, maybe, but not in commercial production. That's one of the reasons why we have so many fears going on in the meat industry. Just one of the reasons. But who's willing to invest? Mostly likely educated people, enthusiasts hopefully. I say it's a smart thing to do, a single direction, to evolve, and we have to learn so the industry can evolve.

[@kridder6268]

Very interesting video and educational. Great Job

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you very much! that's the goal

[@truckerjames7292]

Man! I was hoping to see some Carl lol. I did enjoy it tho

[@FarmingInsider]

He's a busy man this time of year! Lot's of coffee shop activity haha

[@aidenkoster6427]

Looks like nice stuff

[@sinhnguyen4815]

Grass is like a clump of mushrooms. They clump together to create a micro-environment with humidity below. People use wood chips to help with humidity and well, I guess, heat from the sun. Wood is good insulator and roots can be sensitive.

[@FarmingInsider]

You know your stuff!

[@chrismccray1932]

“Good baler guy pictured here”… #humblebragg :) Glad to see you making videos again and very impressive as always.

[@FarmingInsider]

Haha thank you Chris. I appreciate the support always!

[@Nick-B78]

That Kuhn wrapper looks cool but I think the McHale 998 is a much better bit of kit simply because you can process multiple bales at once. Basically you can have one going off the back while the next one is starting to be wrapped and another bale loading up the ramp

[@FarmingInsider]

Sounds like you're definitely able to hammer down with it. Can it wrap squares and rounds?

[@Nick-B78]

@@FarmingInsider I never wrapped rounds personally but yes as far as I know the McHale can do they all. And yeah, you really can bash out the bales pretty quicky

[@Nick-B78]

@@FarmingInsider Here’s a pretty good video of it in action… kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJDOeWWomayUgpo

[@TheFarmingLife]

Very nice video thanks for sharing. I am looking to buy a rapper for 3 by 4

[@FarmingInsider]

Our Kuhn has treated us well. It wraps large squares, round bales and our bundles. Very versatile

[@williamstentzsr.9568]

Nice berries...wow...do you sell juice?

[@FarmingInsider]

No juice, just the berries

[@williamstentzsr.9568]

Very cool

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you William!

[@lindalakota38]

When u jump out to move the stick was some one in the jd i apeared to move a few feet back forth

[@FarmingInsider]

That's the huge plunger in the baler rocking the machine back and forth

[@BirconuGaming]

Awesome 😊👍

[@johnh.7855]

how come the wrapper doesn't have an smv sign? and the telehandler too? i thought all ag equipment under 25 mph needs one

[@sinhnguyen4815]

Damn, that tractor looks too slow for the job but when it starts, it looks nice.

[@FarmingInsider]

It gets the job done!

[@aberlend]

If you had to buy a wrapper again would you get the 4014 or would you try a Mchale 998HS? Any regrets?

[@FarmingInsider]

My only regret is not having a bigger tractor available to hook it up to. It would be a lot nicer with some more stability and the ability to adjust the 3 pt arm on the fly. In order to get the hydraulic flow i need for the Massey I had it on, I need to toggle the 3pt arm “off” to push that flow into the the 1st hydraulic. I have no complaints about the wrapper except that Kuhn has been telling me for a year they can get the settings in the standard System but it’s still in metric

[@sinhnguyen4815]

The field looks unusual, or the yield looks unsually low. It must be a special field.

[@FarmingInsider]

It’s a very old field surrounded by woods. Not an especially high yielding piece for sure

[@uwe1_648]

Werden das Salische Ballen???

[@lindalakota38]

Those massy are good tractor i see your only farmer not broke every video mabe. Every one needs to go MF use to have them all over my area when we hade a big mf dealer. Now you only see old mf around hear

[@sinhnguyen4815]

Let the wrapped up bales sit for at least a month and you'll be ok.

[@FarmingInsider]

For sure

[@marykaywohlert9228]

So jealous of your hay we are burning up here in Minnesota only have one horse and hope to get 125 bales

[@FarmingInsider]

We are SO wet we can't get anything dry, but atleast there is hay to be made. I'm sorry to hear about your situation

[@markgibson3050]

Great content but your hand held camera work needs improvement. Suggest you enable video stabilization & try to move the camera in a single plane. The shaky jumping video distracts from your otherwise excellent content.

[@FarmingInsider]

Thank you for the feedback! I am aware and working on that. I need a different set up at least while in the tractor
