Kayla, you and Jason are a huge inspiration because of the way you support each other as you make 1,000s of bales. Springs break and you both remain calm and do the replacement of the spring as you smile. Your family is a blessing to us viewers.

Good move, might as well change them out broke or not when y’all have the twine box removed…y’all keep em comin guys🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Liked the music. You got some guns on you, Girl. Keep on keeping on.

Your can unclip the fan cover and fold it right over, makes access so much easier.

Great job on the repair. Should make many more bales for you guys. Take care and keep bailin.👍

Great video Kayla , the shade from the trees that’s a plus in the summer to work on equipment.😊

Good afternoon Kayla. Great video. My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry and stockpiling items long term for the whole family is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone. Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I order from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful rambling former farmhouse (circa 1867) I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I converted to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, just beyond the big pile of wood I maintain all year, (for use in an antique woodstove I keep on hand, in case the power goes out) there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Next week, I'm planning on filing for a permit to 3-D print a smokehouse in order to be able to create gourmet artisan handcrafted, beef, bacon, turkey, and beef stick jerky, which interested local merchants can private label for other people to share with their families. Unfortunately, i had to break the bad news to my free range hens today that due to expected egg shortages regretfully numbered are their days of laying a couple of eggs and then basically taking the rest of the day off with ranging privileges' within the parameters of a few very nice rural acres - parts of which are rich with fat grubworms. There's even a short dirt road between the main barn and the farmhouse which they're free to cross to get to the other side as often as they'd like. My rooster Ben overheard me and he ain't too happy either, knowing full well that due to oncoming egg shortages, he'll be "workin' overtime to make sure there's plenty of eggs for me and the family. Have wonderful Sunday and thank you for allowing me to share.

The hay dogs have nothing to do with your knotter issue. I have run with multiple hay dog springs broke. However, the twine you are using is likely the culprit. I only use / recommend using 9600/170 or better yet 7200/190. I like the 7200/190 because I can get them in single spools. So I can get 800 bales per set of spools. This twine is thicker and more consistent. Good luck. PJ McCullough

That Mountain Dew looks refreshing

I've heard people complain that it's not fair that they live in a city, but in all honesty, they would starve if they moved to a farm. They could neither grow their own food or understand how to use the farm equipment to grow it for others, or as you've clearly shown in this video, the knowledge to fix what breaks. Rhodesia learned the hard way, and South Africa now learning, that the farmer needs to be left alone. I've never heard of Green Pringles, so I'm going to the store to get me some.

At least no harsh words were said about the baler also no fires were put out. Some days are hard to take. You had the parts on hand. Very forward thinking. The bad words are only said When Loading Hogs 🤔

Kayla, even though you had problems today you have to look at the amount of hay that Massie has eaten over the 4 years so something is going to happen with it. Good luck in getting the rest picked up and hope you do not get some bad storms there like those that hit St. Louis and parts of Kentucky. Keep following those windrows.

Viewed 8-1-22 from Illinois Hi Kate WOW can you believe it August is here !! Regarding your baler..........consider the NUMBER of bales it has made over the years. Yes, there will be bearings chains pickup teeth etc. The hay dogs are spring loaded as you now, each stroke of the plunger the dogs retract and reset sooooo the number of strokes / bale and the total bales to date the spring held up pretty good.. It is like a piece of wire you bend enough times it will break.

Power woman be proud of yourself, your husband and your children

Kayla, you didn't do anything wrong...parts break...having them on hand and fixing them is the secret to success

good technical repair of bailer springs #❤️👍

Nice vid! Very informative and interesting! Be safe!

Good video good to see y'all again

Smile just smile! Sure is hard haying but breakdowns really get you down. Any thoughts of upgrading at the end of hay season. 1840 has been a good bailer but at 4 years old may be time. We are praying for you and your family. Joe and Penny

Must be that green tractor is just to much for it!!😆 Maybe need a Massey for on the baler!!?😁

Our dealer always says to leave about 3/4 inch slack in chains. Too tight chains eats the sprockets faster.

Hi. Really you are wonder going in to farming and you cometed owne job. 👍🏻

Do know that old bailers sometimes break, knew a very smart man who ran a shop and was very good at being able to see what was wrong with many machines. He had a brother who wasn't as good but when it came to a hay bailer he was the best

My Massey 5455 with a Massey 1837 baler loves 2.2 mph at 530 pto. Getting a Kuhn AF 10 in the spring.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Maybe not productive in the way you want d but still pretty productive. Got almost 1000 bales and you know you have the baler running like it should. I’d say that’s not a bad day for having some issues with the baler. At least you had the springs.

JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS WE ALL HAVE THEM😊😊

Greetings from Poland!

Good video , I’ve worked on balers Al’s

Hello just subscribed, Teamwork getting it done, 👍🏼🇺🇸

thats the best way when you are having trouble getting things apart is to send someone for tools you will have it apart before they get back

Glad ur husband is doing better

If you have top and bottom hay dogs, switch them over. The bottom ones break more often so it makes sense to put one of the bottom ones on top and replacing the bottom one with the brand new.

It looks like your bale length adjustment arm is getting banged up where it falls onto T-handle nut incase you haven't seen it may have a slight bow in it . It may not be a problem just thought I would mention it . I hate break downs baling hay ....

Well Kayla things must of went back where they were supposed. Noted Jason did well with the fix. We didn’t see any tools a flying across the pasture. Lol

That looks like that's the safety stop for the plunger so it doesn't take the needles in the spring break way it looks is what he's replacing am I right

Well it looks like it doesn’t last forever springs always wear out over time. After you get it fixed then hopefully it’ll be better for awhile. Nothing is ever easy to fix.

Yeah them hey dogs keep the bail from going back up with the plunger so she can get more hay shoved in the bail shoot

Square balers nightmares, been there done that

Kayla, Been a baler mechanic for 43 Years. Not a big fan of the Heston agco balers. Tell Jason to get a Deere 348🙂

I am getting ready to start a allis little round baler. So pray for me and the baler.

greetings from the netherlands

So tight chain, will brake the tensioner-sprocket bearing.

👌🏻👍

It's sure hard to plan for the unexpected problems

Life of farms

You two work too dang hard! Yup, there is ALWAYS something else.

👍👌👍

Selam güzel insan emeğinize sağlık

Your working on it because it's not a New Holland.

👍👌❤🇨🇦

To bad the people who design the equipment never have to repair it.

You need a service truck to carry your supplies.

Good content...everything wears out over time....fyi...your volume is still an issue..you need better audio in your videos

Prenez une douille de 23 et une clé à cliquet

How much is this machine?in your country

Hi, miss kayla i hav 1 qst can you sell your used bealer plz ans. Umar

Why don't you buy you a new hay baler and be done with it I understand that you are trying to cut corners too save money I totally understand it costs you more money because of the a commmie

Ever heard of a HAY Dog? No I've heard of a corn dog. Hay dog sounds too vegan for me.

Current bill being pushed thru the House won't do squat to help us in Ag, in fact it will make it tougher if not impossible to produce products for market. A lot of families are at stake and democrats don't care, much as they claim to.
