Great video! Love seeing the tractors powering that specialized machinery. I never knew unrolling rounds and rebaling into small squares was a thing. Very cool.

This is the first I've heard of this being done but it makes sense when doing it for a farm store. I've seen bales of hay unrolled out in the field for cows to eat. Thanks for making this video.

Good day Dennis ,you have some neat equipment to help keep the cash flow moving inthe right direction .Great video , you are keeping the little one busy so he will be a great asset down the road of life .See ya .

The Ford 4600 looks in great condition, It's nice to see older equipment being used and taken care of.

Good morning buddy. Hope you and your family are doing very well and staying healthy. Great video as always. God bless you and your family.👍🙏👍🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey Dennis, Great video as always.And it warms my heart up to see the way you interact with Dorsy, That is one hell of a smart kid and the... way you are teaching him is excellent he will be one hell of a helper some day Be safe and God bless you and the family..

Haven't ever seen this done before here in Sweden and even thought about it! :D Thanks for the demo, Dennis!

Your son has it figured out! No easier time to build all that muscle than as a very young kid, and it doesn't even feel like work. Anything he gains now he can maintain well enough for life, but no way to build all that strength all over the body. :thumbsup

nice setup Dennis I really like your videos and content they are very educational and informative; thanks! have a good night.

You've got your helper with you this morning!!!!

Kewl Beans! Didn’t know there was such a thing! Thank ya and God bless ya

Good morning Dennis. I guess I have never seen this operation before. A great tool to convert roll of hay to square bales. I have done lots of this baling hay with that type square baler. Enjoyed watching as always. Thanks 🙏

Great video Dennis thanks for showing us

Well done Dennis with a very good explanation, good video. Nick, North West Farmer

Pretty cool setup, never seen that before. I spent many years loading and distributing hay to a bunch of hungry horses but never got the chance to grow,cut and bail the hay, maybe one day I'll get lucky enough to own some land to grow some hay. I really like your videos stay safe and God bless. Kevin and Karen

I've got a system that rebales hay, but on a much larger scale at a slower pace. I unroll a round bale on a gradual hillside, then the cattle come and eat all of it over the next couple of days. During this time they digest it and crap it all over the pasture, which helps fertilize the growing hay, which I then cut and bale it as squares. Simple, cheap, and I don't have to have additional equipment or labor to do it.....lol.

Fancy thing you guys got there. Pretty neat to watch too. Good to see the the ol' hay liner on the FORD 4600 just chugging along. Stay safe.

Pretty interesting. Nice setup you had going on there. Stay well, stay safe and we’ll see ya on the next one 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Glad y'all have the straw to sell like that. That unroller is pretty handy for sure.

Thanks Dennis, that was interesting to watch, I've never seen one in use like that.

I think it's really really cool when people take their kids with them when they work with equipment. It's teaches them a lot about the equipment even if they are just sitting there. And it helps them not to be afraid of heavy equipment too. A father couldn't ask for more whenever he gets to take his kids to work. I'm sure someone will complain about it though.

Great video! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing Dennis. I have never seen this done before.

Hi Dennis I agree with Luke about the Equipment Tour Take care from South Africa

Interesting. Thanks. You would make a good teacher/instructor.

Boys getting better every time we se him awesome

Very interesting glad it all worked out.

This is awesome!!! Not a bad looking Ford hooked too your square bailer either.

Little man was ready to rock and roll wasn't he ? LoL 🤭🤭 🤭

Very interesting for this city boy, Thank you

Like you said it’s not something you would choose to do. It does work good.

When I was younger I worked 3 months at new company, unloading large alfalfa bales into 4 big "stripping mills" that were feeding into "chopping stages" and then into the blending tanks and then into the "pelletizer heads" for ... rabbit food mostly. After I left they got larger pelletizers for zoo feed and ag feeds. I was staying with my mom and dad and every night after work I'd have to hose off outside because my dad was really allergic to alfalfa. Luckily it was summer. LOL

Thanks Dennis, another informative video. Kind of a pain rebaling but sometimes its necessary. Nice bale unroller though.

Hey buddy that works awsome for rebaling!!! I've used my bale processor to put the round bale i a windrow but then ya still have to pick up the small squares. I like your set up better!! Have a good one Dennis👍

Excellent!

As growing up on a cattle farm Dad pushed us to 200 bales a hour in barn,he liked heavy bales.

Thats another cool video!:) I´ll start my own hay operation in maybe 5 years, and you do some really good stuff that I could do also...so you give some good ideas,thanks!:D

Simple setup and I might just have to look at one for bedding cattle with rye bales or corn stalk bales

I can remember prevailing hay in the barn for my grandfather. Only it was 3 grand sons with forks and grampa with whip! Lol

Glad to see your boy with you

I believe you on rebaling being a PITA. Looks like you have a good set up to get the job done.

Love his name Dorsey....good vid thanks for makin

The good old Hustler from good old New Zealand that's where they are manufactured

Get you a double low back bale spear for the FEL, and you can move pallets with them like they are forks, and never leave the seat.

Awesome video sir! I love to learn about what you guys do every day!! Very interesting for sure! How many square bales do you get out of the 2 round bales?? I had a little buddy like the one you have and all of a sudden he GREW UP!!!!!!!!. Enjoy your time with him now and thanks for the great videos. Oh and by the way it’s pretty exciting that you answer every comment and being the KZfaq star and all!!!

I can remember trying to re bale straw off the barn for from the chaff off the straw wagon turns out you can't keep a steady flow with a pitckfork.

Would love to see more videos of that attachment

Clever setup, thanks for posting. Wonder if it would work with an inline baler with the bale unrolled above and just behind the baler tractor or unit providing PTO power. I like using our refurbished 8555 Case IH inline.

Hey Dennis nice job on the re-baling. I sure like the old Ford, it looks in great shape, probably a Perkins diesel. I couldn t quite read which model it is. Nice!!!

Cool set up. Did you try blocking the tires on the baler. looks like over time it could be hard on the tractor's brakes. Them lil square balers are hard on drawbars and pins anyway. Thanks for the video.

What will they think up next, handy machine the old 315 was chewing it up good👍

A pretty neat machine. I looked into one for feeding cows in the fall on pasture but not sure I would get my money out of it. I been rolling bales down hill. Sure is a smart design though.

Trying to think back when I rebaled hay for Florida back few years now in that crazy drought. Small squares by the van trailer load @ 20$ a bale. Thinking I got all but 25 bales out of a 4x5. I rented an unroller @ 1$ a bale to unroll. I agree totally with putting small machine afield. But I was being an opportunist n make a few bucks with my case. Dealers will rebale mostly straw tho. Nice video.

Spoiled by my Haybuster. Paid $8750 new 20 years ago, only averaged about 1,000 1,500lb. bales/year, just now needed some minor repairs. Self-loading, can haul two, and of course it doesn't matter which way the bale unrolls. Most people around have the same kind, or one set on a mover for more bales. Processes an even windrow and the entire bale in under a couple minutes. No need to take twine/net off, very handy when it's frozen on. That just wraps on the rotor for easy removal (I do after every 40 bales). I see they have some on clearance, new, a bit above $20k now, higher than that when not on sale. I saw one of these like yours sitting at a dealer, they didn't sell it in 3 years. Looked well built, but I don't see the point really since it only unrolls it, when comparing the cost, vs. a lightly used other type, vs. a simple and cheap unroller (for feeding purposes, sitting still like you have here, maybe). If a person needed less hp, they make another type with sickle sections and hydraulic drive (local ranch used to make them locally, either with wheels, or it could go in the back of a pickup). My type, could slow it down, but 80 pto hp would be about as low as I'd want to go. I don't know of anyone that does straw. Very little use for small squares in my area, but my neighbor sells a few truckloads sometimes. He uses a Haybuster and bales the windrow. Some years nobody wants many, so he just does some on demand.

My nabors sometimes ask me to rebale. Bale buster in the field four 5' bales. Baled them all up in under an hour on a NH 296.

Hi Dennis I absolutely love watching your videos would you be able to do a Equipment Tour of your an your fathers equipment Thanks heaps From Australia

Is it safe to say that this machine is better suited for large square bales seeing they don't have a core to worry about or even having to mess with the unrolling aspect. I would like to see a demo with a large square bale. Eric

Well u beat me too it 😂. I've been trying to work out how to do it with hay. I'm a one man band with hay....literally no to help so was thinking round bale hay and reprocess when I've time. Was thinking either a straw chopper or bale u roller with a haybob (if you know what one is? Like a tedder but uk old shool job) to fluff the hay up

rebaling has it's place. in your case with the storage you have you don't need to rebale like us with no storage.

Wheat straw...olf will be bail n next weeks too...if you need another sorce...oh not good for sqr bails...oops never mind...haha...just keep rolling..cheers

I stopped helping on the families farms just before round bails came into play . I could never understand why farms went to round bails . I was told it had to do with storage . But it seems large bails would be easier to handle , transport , and store , than the round bails .

I saw there was a lot of straw on the floor. Is it swept up and put into the baler? I was thinking the store could sell the loose straw to someone willing to sweep it up and take it away for a cheaper price than a square bale.

what about using it with small square / rectangular balers ?

Always wondered how may sq would get outa a round. More money in sq than round up here. Thats nice outfit. I have an old 315 still works good.kept inside

Neat

Why did you not baled small bales in the field ?? Makes lota extra work ?????

Hi, where did you get the additional piece where you lay the round bail?

How many small bails do you get from a big round bails?

Good video, is it not worth hooking up the accumulator so you can fork them on to the truck in p[acks of 10???

That's how the boys do there horse hay every year down Stanley valley roll them in the field an bring them in an unroll them an square bale them right in the barn

My dad always had little toe heads helping him.

Good video I just started watching your again I kinda lost touch with your operation still a good video one question do you still have the John deer have a good one

Now that you have some time on the massy how do you like it and how much trouble have you had with I'm looking for a new tractor what hp is it

Hey Dennis, quick question for you, are you nervous or apprehensive with getting to much machinery with to much tech built into it? Just thinking about how a lot of farmers prefer to fix there own equipment, especially attachments and stuff, but eventually your going to have software locks on equipment forcing the farmer to send things to the dealer for expensive repairs, what your take on this?

How many square bales do you get out of a round bale?

I’ve been wondering how to do this thanks

A la rampa de salida de la empacadora está alta y saca el paquete combado.

Never seen anyone feed a bale into the pickup of another baler before, but have seen them roll it onto the ground first and then bale. I've had a Hustler chainless feed out wagon for about 20 years (the company is based here in New Zealand), but it has forks out of the back to load the table and to hold a 2nd bale, would make it impossible to get in close enough to do what you're doing.

Is this a second baler ?

That is pretty slick, I have never heard of making square bails out of round bales. Approximately how many square bales do you get to one round bale?

Goodness gracious if you make hay square bales into round bales you need a tractor driver and a guy to feed 20 square bales in. My goodness ya'll want to make durn sure what kind of bales you need to make. In rain and snow you need cover with two tractors running one for this bale ripper aparter and the other running either a square baler or a round baler. Sheesh.

How many square bales do you get out of a round bale

Or should use another machine for non round bales ?

4000 su. Super utility

We round bale and then rebale into squares........ Takes about 3 hours to bale 500 squares...... and load into a trailer

That's cool, but I also noticed a lot of waist tho

What make is this machine?

Have you ever figured out how much it costs to rebale round to little squares ?It seems it would cost more than what you can sell the straw for.

You might had said , but how many bails do you get out of a roll, if you know. Be blessed

The problem with hay is the cor is packed hard.

I never understand the point of re-bailing a bail. Seems like a lot of extra work. I get the having round bails and them wanting squares. But ive seen and heard of it done alot never understood the point

I have been looking for straw. If you have some to sell I'd be interested!

Maybe for your next upgrade you might consider a Ken Mills Engineering system? perfect for rebaling large rounds and square bales - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/acx9mrCVr9bDlnU.html

I sell all my unclaimed round rolls of Bermuda hay to a man who unrolls it and re-bales it to square bales. He doubles his money. But he unrolls the rolls in the field and re-bales it conventionally. He gets 20-21 square bales from a roll.

How many square bales do you get out of a round bale?
