That old baler sure makes nice bales.

Thank you for a wonderful video of how it was done. And there are people who thought baling with our John Deere 216W was too much work. But there was a lot of good times mixed in with that hard work! And the experience I feel paid off through out my life. Hard living, yes. But I would do it all over again!

Wow, quite an amazing piece of equipment. Makes you appreciate today's complex equipment even more.

Wow neat machine! Thanks for the video!

That makes excellent bales. You can see the one guy attempting to get his hand underneath the wire/twine and its so tight he pushes the bale instead. Good machine, good crew!

Never done it this way, but I have poked many a wire on a bailer driven off a tractor PTO setting in the barn yard. it a lot of fun on a lot day with no wind blowing. That was life on a farm.

We had a New Holland baler with a Wisconsin engine on it. Back then a bale of twine was $5, circa 1957. The real work was to load and unload the hay racks. Unloading in a hot pole barn was the worst.

When I was very young my father was part of an organization that had a belt driven baler like this one, but also had one that was powered by a team of horses. The horses were hitched to a beam that was attached at the pivot to a gear train. As the beam was rotated by the horses it would result in pulling a rod that was attached to the baler and thus provided the motive power to bale hay.

классная,и простая в использовании вещь👍

I wonder if there is anybody alive that remembers using these kind of balers other than in museums?

That looks like fun

nice video of that :)

Growing up my dad bought one of these type of hay bailers. The one that we have has a 8 hp gasoline engine that turned a big iron fly wheel. You have to bring the hay to the bailer. It was hard work and the press did not cut the hay so when you got ready to feed the cows you would bust one bail of hay and it all strung together. The new bailers cut the hay as they are pushed into the press, thus letting you to take a block or two of hay out and feed the cows. we fed our cows out of the back of a pickup as my dad drove and I cut the bails of hay and threw it out of the truck. This way all the cows could get some hay. Since then we have gone to round bails and have someone bail our hay. We just put it out and put steel hoops over it and they cows eat it. There is some waste but that's life in the 21st century.

Damn, when it said old fashion, I was thinking of our Farmall M pulling our PTO powered New Holland baler and dragging the wagon behind (my position).

How does it have so much torque while having a very loose drive belt

How old are the hay baler and tractor that are making these bales.?

I'm amazed that so many pieces of old farm equipment missed the scrap iron drives in WW 2...

Is the tractor powered by diesel, gas or steam?

And just yesterday the man across the road made 30 big rolls in a day. Quite a bit faster.

себестоимост работы дорого будеть обходиться ,много людей работает во первых ,во вторых с поля тоже надо доставлят надо до этой месты , лучшей спосоп просто трактором с пресподборшиком на поле один тракторист сделает эту работу у нас в Киргизии, а так молодцы мужики организованно работает

Yes but how did people do it before engines like this were common

How to tie the bale?

Them old boys don't know very much about what they think they are doing. First tighten up the belt and never stack bales string down on the ground.

1000 acres and all u get is 100 bales lol

K

I have one for sale.
