Absolutely love the "mini" baler and dude one cld make a fortune with that around the south ESPECIALLY around fall for decorative straw! Kuddos bro,awesome vid!

[@dennislaughton1676]

When I was on my teens, 65 years ago, we did not have the luxury of mechanical handling of hay, 65 lbs. was our target weight. We picked them up by hand or 2 prong fork to put them on the 4 wheel wagon. Unloaded them by hand and stacked them by hand in the barn. It was a hands on job.

[@dominicdahlheimer6861]

Someplace is a picture of a brand new New Holland baler (circa 1963-65) being delivered to our farm in February. Needless to say the bright colors of the baler against our red barn with the snow piles all around it is quite the picture. I loaded many, many wagons of hay behind that baler in my youth. Your New Holland looks about 8 - 10 years newer than our ol' baler!

Had a friend in California whose daughter was a horse person. Kept it at a stable, but was responsible for taking care of it, exercising, training, and feeding. Her mother took her to a feed store and that was the size bales she bought because they fit in the trunk of the car. Called them California bales.

Hey Trevor, do you call your boys little bales? Geez, i crack myself up. Love the videos. Keep em coming

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

lol. I mean, yeah, I do. But usually it’s “you little sh$&s!”

[@billbooth4147]

I really like your videos,I grew up on a dairy and trucked hay and straw but just on s different scale.

[@pseggons9512]

Love the little baler, just the right size for an ageing old farmer like me ...... 😂 When I first saw the baler in your vid I thought there was some sort of camera distortion looking at the skinny chamber.

[@popswrench2]

i worked on new holland 30 -40 yrs ago .... NEVER remember seeing or even HEARING of that little rascal .... now i want one 😅😅

[@jimpolk]

Cute little baby bales.

[@stakman78]

Congrats on 50k. Holy shit balls Trevor those midget bales are cute. I thought our NZ 2 stringers were small! Mucho grande

[@1957Free]

Thanks for sharing your time

[@SonneFarms]

Very Cool to watch!

[@johndantice2577]

Small bales of straw should work for Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. Competing with Walmart for market share will be interesting.

[@johnkemp4370]

@@johndantice2577 Walmart buys them from some farmer locally. Each region probably has a supplier .

[@randywilson9611]

Good video good to see y'all

[@ChroniclesofKayla]

Omg -- they really are BABY bales!!! For bunnies? We’ve made some in the past where we just manually knit them 😅😅 but they’re only a few flakes. Not a cute little bale.

[@clintonliming]

I have the same baler, mine is NH 273 have made 5000 mini bales straw with mine past couple years. Thinking of trying alfalfa

[@SonneFarms]

Do you ever cuddle the Hay?

[@zanjero]

Still amazing a machine knows how to tie a knot. Show us how!

[@toddwitte452]

It looks like a 269 hay liner That needs the bail length adjusted.

[@nikphoenix]

You need to get a deal with Spirit Halloween stores to sale them bales. They would go like hot cakes. Also I bet a lot of the garden stores would like to sell the small bales for people with raised bed gardens.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

I agree. That would be killer!

[@ahhadon59]

Trevor: I think you will find that baleing straight from a windrow will give you a better quality bale than a rebale, especially from a retail perspective. Rebales never look good even with alfalfa, Bermuda, or any of the other grass varieties. FYI

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

I agree with you.

[@billbooth4147]

Looks like a 68 Holland

[@jerryfischer3988]

I'm a 99.4% retired post frame contractor. I still own our building business, but 1 of my son's runs it. Anyway I like your steel frame hay barns. Do you buy them as a package for or do you have a local contractor handle the project starting from a pile of materials.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

There is a local guy that builds them. There are three guys actually. There are a lot of barns just like these around the state.

Great video Trevor,is Coastal Bermudagrass hay grown in y’all area and do dairy farmers use Coastal Bermudagrass hay in there dairy rations,thanks have a blessed evening

You did say that you liked comments, but I don't know if you like questions.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Love question!

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

And congratulations on only working .6% of the time. I like your style. I hope your son is able to build the company!

[@dannmorris3465]

The labor shortage has become pathetic! I entered the labor market in 1968. During that time my peers and I didn't question the connection between work and earnings. Today it's almost impossible to find physical workers. That's the biggest problem for my son to overcome to grow the business 10:48 business.

[@johnkemp4370]

You are playing with why, outside of California,Nevada and Arizona, no one uses a larger than 14x18 small balers . Almost no one wants heavier than 60lb or so horse bales in the other states. Also straw bales for bedding and Halloween sell in all 50 states but no one wants them in your three string bales. Bale Barron is the future of long distance hay trucking

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Well, maybe. If they build one for 3 string bales. We ship 20,000 tons a year out of state. Then my neighbors do more than me. And we’re all only shipping more and more every year. So a lot of people want them more than 60 lbs I guess. We couldn’t afford to change to 2 string balers. Not efficient enough for us, I think making these 3 string bales a little smaller would help a lot!! This little guy, it’s just for fun. Oh man, we sale thousands of bales of 3 string straw every year. Bedding, gardening, decorative, seating, erosion control…. We send a lot! But I think the market for these little ones is bigger. So I wouldn’t say “no one”. But I agree that the 2 string is bigger.
