Spent my high school and college years baling first with a JD T-14 stacking the wagon directly from the bale chute. Next came a JD T-24 and then a JD T-224 each with kickers. Each hay baler was powered by either a JD 630 or a JD 3020. Those were days I’ll never forget or replace! This was also in central New York. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories.

My grandpa had a 4440 for a while, he sold it about a year ago, so far that's the biggest tractor I've used. I used it on a flatbed to haul our dozer around. That was 2 years ago, I was 15 and I really had it made :)

This brings back so many memories. As a little guy it was my job to kick, pull, slide, ETC the bails to the person unloading the wagons. As I got older I was the person unloading. Then the person in the mow stacking. It was a family affair. Everyone got involved including multiple neighbors. When My grandparents passed the farm wasn't the same. It was eventually sold. I worked for another farmer throughout high school. I miss a lot of things about farming except throwing bales. I wish I had a quarter for every bale I've touched. I could've retired at 18. I buy 20 bales, twice a year now for goats. I'm not in as good of shape as I once was. I would have a heart attack/ heat stroke halfway through the first load.

Really the 348 is an updated 336. My 336 is 50 years old. I run it and a number 30 bale ejector on my 4020 diesel. I have update the tucker fingers and added an electric speed control on the ejector which makes it much easier to make turns without having a bale miss the wagon. I have four home made wagons which hold about 600 total and a quick release hitch, but I still have to get off to rehook the next wagon. I do about 5000 bales a year but when I worked on small dairy farms in the late 80s two of us did about 15,000 bales. The hard thing now is you can't get any help anymore as no one is willing to work, or promise to come and then don't show up when the hay is ready. I can get a 65 year old man to come. He says it keeps him in shape. I usually don't now any more hay than what will fit on the wagons.

I worked for that farm 20 years ago and ran both of those units baling hay and straw. At that time they ran 3 balers, the third being powered by a 4240. They used 15 wagons and often stacked loads in the field usually giving around 3000 bales to unload the next morning. They used to fill 11 or 12 local barns with hay and straw every year for a total of around 90,000 bales all stacked by hand! Good times!

This is a really cool combo I don't recall seeing much in our area in the 90s-00s. We ran a boarding stable and training operation so we did small squares, but we hired out hay cutting and baling to another local farmer who did ours as well as some other neighbors. (Massey Ferguson tractors and New Holland balers) Naturally, that meant we were the bale movers and had to do it all the hard way. One of these would have been pretty sweet had we owned a baler. The nicest thing I remember was a borrowed bale lifter that would attach to the side of the pickup and was driven by the movement. It would bring them up to the bed where they could be loaded back more easily. Most of the time it was dad, brother and I, and sometimes a few friends taking turns driving, walking, and stacking on top thr trailer.

Had to use hay hooks to control them. Even then I would rather be baling hay than a lot of other chores.

We bail with a 2010 John Deere 328 chute Baylor that we bought new. For one summer I had a 348 that had been bought used with a stroller and I couldn't bring myself to like to throw her very well so we went back to a shoot when we milked cows on this farm and did not feed round Baled hey silage we would bail about 10 to 15,000 a year most of that behind an old John Deere 24 t of which we wore out 2. We are through and through red paint in case I ate around here but we bought our first 24t used but very well cared for in 1978 and after we sold our dairy hard we build a terrific amount of horse hay so we bought the second one for a backup and used them both for several years and then we decided it was time for a new one so we bought the 348 which we weren't too proud of and then we bought the 328 new and we really like it since about all we bail anymore is second cut in straw and the only Bill about 2,500 a year we didn't go for the thrower. As most of our hay ends up round bailed and wrapped. But we really like the 328 we pull it most of the time with a 75 horse Case IH 75c two wheel drive and it plays with it

I always thought this would be a great way to gather bales, but none of the farmers I knew when I was working for the farmer down the road from us would use them. Too many broken bales in the wagons and too hard to unload them with the bales all helter skelter in the wagons. They also wanted to get as many bales stacked on the truck or wagon as possible by stacking them neatly. I spent many summers as a young teen picking 65-80 lb bales up off the ground and lifting them up over my head to be stacked by the guy riding the truck or wagon.

GenerationII the 348 baler has the D beat by 5 years now. The D was built 1923 to 1953. The 348 is 1987 to 2022 and still on the sales sheet for 2023.

Bailing hay with a cab tractor is some serious overkill unless that's all you have. We use a John Deere 2030, 2630 or a 2840 for the job. They offer a huge savings in diesel compared to the 4440. I used to buck bails when I was a kit. It sucked.

The Sound Gards are 35 to 50 years old. There is something to say for a paid for tractor that offers a bit of extra comfort. Can you work a longer day and pay a little more in fuel? I know a farm in NY running 8000 series tractors on balers. They bale two thousand acres of straw and 800 acres of hay a few acres year. They have a 2240 but going over that many acres why not do it in comfort.

did you know the fly wheel on the 348 has grooves in it for belts to run it off a small engine and be pulled by horses

@danw6014 Жыл бұрын

The grooves are to for belts to run the hydraulic pump for the kicker.

Watching bale ejectors makes me happy - rhythmic plonk plonk plonk wheeee! and another bale flies out like a pouncing kitty. This is the first time I've seen this style of bale ejector, the only ones I know are the belt style ones, for instance the New Holland Model 72 Bale thrower. Do you know if there's any major difference between a bale kicker like in the video and a bale thrower using belts, from the farmer's perspective?

@randallvos Жыл бұрын

My father has run both, an old international with a belt thrower and a deere 336 with the plate, he once told me the plate thrower was better on hillsides, you can level the plate whereas the belts tend to throw them downhill. He also told me the belt throwers have a tendency to burn the strings off if not adjusted properly..........

@leonardfleming4440 Жыл бұрын

A friend of mine used to say(about 40 years ago) that the belt type thrower tore at the bales until the belts actually got a hold of the bale. Whereas the pan style thrower(sometimes referred to as a "popper") would not do anything until the bales tripped a lever which would cause the pan to flip the bales into the wagon.

Can some bales bust open?

@danw6014 Жыл бұрын

Yes they can. It can be a good indicator that your hay is a little to damp, or you're feeding to much hay in. Sometimes you might have to take pressure off the bale chamber. Straw bales can also pop when they hit the empty wagon deck.

@bigtractorpower Жыл бұрын

Then can break because of moisture or a tie issues. The ejector pan will flake the bale out on the field. It is rebaled at the end.

Our setup was a John deere 2940 with a 328 John Deere baler with a kicker. And gruetts kick bale wagons. We would usually do between 1800 to 2500 baled a day. Good times.
