Stay with the setups you have

I’m sure there’s times/situations where this machine/system would be beneficial but as with most European equipment, they just can’t handle the volume. As far as transport, they have different weight/ height/length restrictions for their trucks than we do. In fact, they do a lot with just farm tractors on the road! Thanks for the video!

I like the 14 bale count. Plus it’s the same size as a 3x3 square bale, I believe.

The operation seems very inefficient - please post another video explaining why this process is beneficial. Thanks for the video

We got a new Kuhn's 510F tie grabber this year. Same challenges with the length's of the bale and height's however with some adjusts it has become the greatest invention since the Autopilot!

I have to agree with Btian. Stick with what works.

Good thing for transport lock for roading farm equipment down the road from the farmyard to the farm field

Continue to use your current setup. If you're going to go after new sales because you have extra hay to sell, then make your own bundles to load into a van trailer. Loaded with a forklift.

I think there would be lots of people who would buy these bundles. They would be easy to move around with equipment they already own. Those 3 string bales are heavy even for the "average" person.

I use to do 16x18 two string x4+ feet long with my home made spear squeeze on bobcat articulated, stacked with 1049 NH only two wide, load my step deck myself 14f hi about 100 inch wide, my customers didn't want a secondary set of bundle string it was awesome no finger print but to slow to bale now 3x3 with same h m squeeze straw n alfalfa hay

Arcusin is a cool set up. Gotta do alotta hay to pay for one though. Thank god ya pulled it with a Deere.😁

Maybe this is what the 14” chambered 3 string bale was made for. Did you haul any bundle blocks with retriever?

I understand the purpose it has and understand the thought of the design and everything behind it I can’t knock it one bit at all, it’s got its purpose for the right operation and yours is focused on a different direction and unless you wanna take that million dollar gamble is up to you not us we arnt signing the cheques. My two cents in my area as someone who would buy it and sell it this set up would be great, we could run step decks, 2 high on the front and 3 high on the back every farmer has a tractor or skiddy to unload in 20 minutes

Are you to maximum length for truck and trailer and weight wise? If not add a foot to the front and back of each trailer and make your hitch on the back trailer a little longer

Have you put pencil to paper and figured out if it’s cost effective. When will you be able to make up the equipment investment. Looks cool. Long gone are the days of hiring high school kids to work for some spending money.

I may have missed something but you said 97-98" long and it looked slightly narrower as 2 wide. You might only have 96" wide trailers but 102" wide is legal basically everywhere. There may be a few locations that still say 96" but almost every trailer built today is 102 wide. Maybe a west coast guy can step in and clarify if the doubles makes a difference on some of the smaller roads but as far as I know, it shouldn't. For example technically 96 wide and over 65' long needs permits in NYC. Every 48'+ open deck or van is longer and wider than that but nobody abides by those ancient rules.

Steamed bales or marginal moisture bales packed in bundles, more prone the heating compared to loose singles that can breath?

Hey Trevor! Is it Hot yet!🤣🤣🤣

My man Clint @ All Stock Hay runs the Arcusin. Check out video and channel 🤙🏼

Would it be feasable to run 48' or 53' stepdecks instead of the double strait decks?

How many total feet of of string are involved in a "regular" bundle compared to this "new" bundle?

how much longer can you make your trailers legally like what if you add a rack to the back like guys that haul roundbales

The bundles of hay are a way better method of getting hay put together. The bale bandit is the one I run.

I know your area specializes in the 3 string bales. Would it ever be worth looking into changing over to two string balers and a bale baron? The two string are easier to handle by hand and the 21 bale bundles would handle like the big bales you sell for others. The baron bundles are so tight that feed stores can handle with a normal fork lift they already have completely eliminating the need for specialized equipment on the receiving end. Bundles also fit perfectly in van trailers. I personally only do a small volume of small coastal squares using a Steffens system accumulator and grapple. I struggle to compete with the convenience other producers offer in the local area by selling baron bundles. Huge expenses but may open up new market opportunities for your farm.

You're messin with Brian's Cheese. Let us know how that works out for ya!

Does the bale bandit have a model that works with your size bales

Ever thought about trying a Baron?

Never seen 1 of them b4

Oi 👍👍👍👍✌️

I’m no expert and I realize it so I have no unsolicited advice to give you in the comments about how to run your business. 😂😂😂😂😂 Have a great day!!!!

How is this better than a harrowbed?

Why? Don’t Change anything! More $$$$$ extra Twine! Brian is a Smart Man! Sloppy Stack!

That looks like you're losing a lot of leaves.

Whats the purpose of the bundles?

mite work for two stringers better but still slow. the balewagon is made in USA

Bale math.

🤔🤔🤔

I thought edge bales were 15 inch wide x 6 equals 90 not 96

Too slow it seems. When Mother Nature is coming this would be in the equipment yard. Bring out the stackers and get it done ✅

Instead of buying more hay technology take ot from me... bou property and plant walnut trees in Dolan springs 😊

Made it first . Stitting in the 4030R

Doesn't look like too bad of a setup. I was gonna suggest if you do more live videos to get some moderators. Helps to keep the trolls and such out. Like the guy wanting you to say nea ger which was just trying to get you to say the n word

That looks like a complicated, high maintenance machine.

Que te parece la máquina de mi país,aquí llevan 30 años con su evolución pero el ganadero prefiere ya el paquete grande 80x80,120 x70,120x90 cm ,además aquí tienes prohibido circular en tandem tractor -empacadora-agrupador. Está misma empresa copio y mejoro el recogedor de pacas NEW HOLLAND con los que trabajas

So what is the purpose of this thing? Fuel is the most important thing of any operation it seems to me that you adding an extra piece of equipment and another operator.. you still had to bring in a harrow bed? Im confused!

Your loosing leaves and you can't make a nother way to stack the balls and it's slower

Your loosing Leaves!

Sorry to say they are not packed as tight as the way you now do it. To many little problems, they need to fix it or don't buy it. Old saying, "If old method not Broke, DON'T CHANGE IT.

Not enough upside IMHO.

Nice machine and all but.. look at all of the loss you guys had with way too much movement of those bales.

Bale baron is faster and better

Extra tractor, extra employee, extra string expense, extra step. Nah.

Stacking and handling not working to your standards. Your current system seems much better

Waaaaaaaay too much Trevor face time.

I dont like it. It changes everything, not worth it.

Go back to drawing board please. That machine is just crap.
