Sounds like a bunch of RC toys lol. Thanks for watching, welcome to the channel.

Yep, my thoughts exactly, Ha ha. Hay seasons coming up! work hard and God bless!

Not familiar with the Vermeer stuff, I hear a lot about them in other countries but I can't say I've seen or heard anything on them up here in Atlantic Canada. New Holland/Case, John Deere, and Hesston/Massey are most of what you see, and now some Kubota balers since they are pushing their products hard. But, like I said, my round baler knowledge is pretty limited. We don't even do much of it, maybe a couple hundred bales at most in a year. Feeding out of a silo is a lot easier then feeding round bales lol

+Dan Fike I have some around I think just haven't done it. We usually flip the drawbar on the tractor and that helps it a lot.

Single rotor Kuhn, I think it’s a GA301

We've been running it for a few years now, no problems other than this recent control box issue, which is minor. It's all a guy could want for doing hay, but I think if we were buying again we'd probably get something more suited for doing round bale silage. We really don't have a ton of experience doing round bales, up until when we got this baler we just did small squares as our barn wasn't set up for round bales. Once we moved the cows into the new freestall barn 3-4 years ago we switched to round bales as well. Anyway, it doesn't seem to have any issues leaving the PTO engaged while dumping bales.

I baled for years a round baler never turn off the pto to dump a bale of hay. Someone told me I should turn off the pto when dumping a bale . So I tried it. Big mistake. The pto cable broke because of over use engaging and disengaging continuously. Every time you have a bale ready every two minutes could be 100 to 200 time in a day. I only tried it about 3 times before the pto cable broke and stopped the whole baling process. Never again . I leave the pto running as I dump a bale out now .

+Angus Kelly the 375 is 60 PTO hp

Hey David, that was just a small piece I think around 3.5 acres or so. I think you'd have a tough time earning a living farming hay on 100 acres, but I guess it depends on what you call a living, plus really you'd have all winter to work off farm and earn money too. We got about 35-40 bales off that piece, say 10 bales per acre, thats 4x5 bales, decent quality 4x5's go for around $25-50 CND per bale depending on quality, time of year, if there is a shortage or surplus on the market etc. So if you did 100 acres thats 1000 bales @ say $35/bale would be $35,000 income. Less fuel, maintenance on the equipment, twine or net, land rental if you have any rented, fertilizer costs, etc. Hope that helps some? Bagwell Farms has a good channel too, he does just hay down in the US somewhere he might be a good guy to chat with about this stuff. We don't really sell hay, just make it for our cows, we do buy a little bit though.

Mac Farms I gotcha bud and thanks for your option bud and I was talking about having a normal job and the hay farm too
