The big question - how long will 20 bales last you in the winter months? What does that math look like?

I watch a few channels about farming. You’re the first to put a camera in your baler. Very interesting and completely opposite of how I thought those make a bale.

That was an awesome view with the camera inside the baler, also shows how good of shape your baler is in! Right on at 20!

Pete you scared the daylights out of me when you put your camera inside the baler because all I could think of is I hope he doesn't lose his camera, but I have to say that was some awesome footage on the inner workings of the round baler. My dad used to tell me to drive like a drunk man when round baling to make a pretty bale! Love your videos!!! Keep them coming!

Hey Pete, I’m 14 and I spent all day yesterday raking hay for my grandpa, love working in the fields, and when your done that great feeling of accomplishment. I rake with a Farmall B and I believe a new Holland 52 rake. I really like your videos, keep up the good work!

Pete, I noticed that the squealing noise goes away as soon as you get hay in the baler. My guess is that one of the belts is just slightly longer than the others and that it is slipping on the drive roller until hay puts pressure on it. Nothing to worry about. I have been farming full time for 27 years and I think the camera shots inside the baler are one of the coolest things I have ever seen!

Thanks for taking the time to give us a ride inside the bailer. Watching you drive the older tractors never gets old! 👍🏻

The view from inside the baler was great. It is the first time I have seen it from the inside do it’s job. Thanks for sharing your’s and Hillary’s joy of doing what the two of you love to do for a living.

Seeing inside the baler was amazing. Great idea. It's so fascinating. Ngl I thought the weaving at start was unintentional 😂

The whining sound looks like a belt rubbing until the hay gets started. Thanks for the interior view.

The camera view from inside the baler was incredible !

My Brother in law is a Gehl. Related to the Gehls who bought that company many years ago. We live near West Bend here in Wisconsin. Gehl has kind of an interesting history but also sad. Going past that place in West Bend as a kid the place was huge. Now the old buildings are gone. But I think there's still a small presence.

I’m impressed with how handy a former “city slicker” is with running old equipment! 😉

I already knew how round bales are made, but having the camera in there was so cool. What a great idea!

I don't see anything wrong. Those are good looking bales. Camera in the baler was a great idea! I have always wondered what it looks like when a bale is being made. Thank you!

That squeaking sound of the baler is the sound of money my friend. When it kicks the bale out the back it should chime like a cash register.

The baler is way too cool! Thanks for showing us! The hay is beautiful!

a 4ft diameter, 4ft wide bale will be about 50.27 cubic feet, a 5ft diameter, 5ft wide bale is about 98.17 cubic feet, so the bigger of the two has 1.95x as much volume as the smaller one. Just how much hay is in each one will also be a function of how tightly it is wound, but the volume difference is almost double.

How could anyone give this video a thumbs down? Pete works hard plus works hard on putting these great videos together! You thumbs down people don't belong here. Now run along.

Best description of how a 5x5 baler works on the internet. Nice camera work.

Very cool camera shots. If this was a tv show with no drama, I'd watch it.. oh wait, I did watch it

I didn't realize I was so spoiled running my grandpa's John Deere 535 in the late '90s. I guess that baler was pretty fancy - monitor with left/right size indicators, dual automated twine arms that kicked in when the bale was full size and the monitor beeped, a kicker so you didn't have to back up. My brother bought a newer Vemeer last year, I can't imaging the gadgets that thing must have! Also, I already knew how a round baler worked, but watching it from the inside was pretty cool. Good job!

I remember when we switched to big bales, my dad loved it, but I missed putting the small bales in the hay mow with the elevator.

I miss haying season on the farm I grew up on! I drove an old farmall like yours when I was young only we used loose hay at first until dad got an old baler! Square bales filling the hay mow! Memories of the farm!!!’ Oh that smell of fresh hay

I liked the sound of the tractor idling at the end of the video

I have a 1465. You can actually make those bales tighter by adjusting the TDC valve

I helped make hay on my parent’s ranch every year from age 5 to 30. I miss that smell of cut grass and diesel smoke, watching the barn swallows dance through the sky as they catch insects, and the joy of seeing June Beetles on the field stubble.

Very Kool Pete....never had an inside look at a round baler!!

Really Pete, your camera work is improving all the time. That inside the bailer view was great!

Very satifying to see hay being put up for animal feed in the winter.

If the camera had broken loose, and ended up in a bale, we would have had a "here's what it looks like inside a cow" video in ... a few months? Followed by a "here's what it looks like inside a manure pile" and finallly, "here's what it looks like inside a manure spreader". All stellar productions no doubt. I have a lot of faith in battery life, don't I?

Wow! Another great video. I had no idea till you put us inside how the round bailer worked. Thanks!

Amazing shots inside the baler. Thats how you give the people what they want. Well done Pete !!!!!! 👏

Love how you tell us rookies things that other people might already know 🤣.. I learn a lot from watching your videos 👍👍

Pete, this video is my son's favorite! He is three years old and if you ask him what do you want to watch he always says Pete make hay bale. Thanks for the great content that anyone can enjoy from three years of age to 65 and up.

I will sleep much better tonight knowing you got your hay bailed before the rain ! We made square bales for are dairy cattle in Iowa back in the 60's and 70's with a New Holland . Great bailer .

So glad you are getting some hay and having good weather. It's a bummer having to buy hay for hungry cows

Great shots from inside the bailer. That was real enlightening on how those round bailers work.

Great way of teaching Y/T what your thinking,, self taught for sure.. You make a great teacher...

One of the most informative videos to us non-farmers. Very cool!

Exceptionally Great Video!!! I have watched most of the hay videos on you tube at one time or the other, You by far just took the time to make one of the best Round baling videos i have ever seen! Thank You for taking the time to do that! I run old equipment myself and there is nothing like knowing how it works. Better yet nothing like knowing you can fix it if it breaks! Again Great Video..

This series has been really amazing to watch and learn. Love the drone shots as well.

That was cool putting us in that Baylor I farm for quite a few years as a farm hand that's the first time I seen a bale of hay made God bless you and your family see you later

This is just fantastic Pete! Really great camera angles. Inside the Baler was AWESOME! Really really good. 20 bales sounds pretty good to me.

Excellent video. Your channel is the best!!

Thanks that demonstrated so well how the bailer works. I really enjoyed seeing and learning that, you are an excellent teacher.

Miss that smell, don't miss fussing with the small squares we always made.

Loving the haying series Pete. Great job. Thanks for your hard work and video producing efforts

Yes awesome sight of those Bale's ...you're as fast or faster then it's supposed to be... great job Pete...

I have to say, one of the best videos on KZfaq. The amount of information he is giving AND the video editing. Great job and thank you!

Thanks for this video! The footage from inside the baler was excellent!

That old baler does a nice job, very clean fields, not much wasted at all.

Thanks for the inside look! Always wondered how it did it

I never seen the inside of the baler when it wes working. Thank you very much.

The camera in bailing chamber is a great idea! 😀 And tractor sounds great! :D

Pete, thanks for explaining the lot of a small farmer. It says a lot about how farms are run a managed.I have always been interested in farming and some of the terms are beyond me, however you make them simple. Keeps up with the jokes....

I started watching for the farming. Now I stay for the comedy. I enjoyed the video.

Had a 656 tractor when I was a kid .best tractor we had .God bless you brother 👉👍👍👍😎😎😎😎

Nice video! I can remember in the fifties riding the rack behind the old Oliver baler one would be 4 ft. long the next word be 5 ft. long and seemed to weight so much more. Looking through the comments love to read on how the young people who are interested in your videos.

We just our new property bailed for the first time, never thought I would be so excited about have big bails of hay stacked in a barn before! Maybe one day I'll be able to do it myself like you Pete!

Love seeing the old equipment run. That squeal sounds like it's coming from one of those metal rollers in there. Squeals until it gets a little pressure on it. Might be out of alignment or needing a servicing. I'm not an expert though lol.

I’ve been watching your farming videos for years, but only now realized you have a 656 while researching a 1969 656D that I might purchase. Thanks for the great content!

Farming is so fascinating! Love to watch your videos…….and love your jokes lol!

Thank you for showing how the magic happens. You got friends in Tennessee! Great production and educational

Thank you so much for the inside views of how the bales are made. For me, a non-farmer, that was very helpful and informative. I would really like to see a close-up, slo-mo view of how the knotters work.

Thank you that was just wonderful! Especially when you put us in the baler! Was fabulous and now l know more than l knew before watching your video. Great job! I am sure others agree with my thoughts..🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾 Thank you.🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾

That inside the baler view was very cool! Thanks for showing it!

This Chicago grandma enjoys watching something I know absolutely nothing about. I’m glad my folks got us out of the city but still lived in town all my life. I can see I missed out on a lot of hard work!

The squeaky seems to be just the belts slipping. Notice how when there’s hay inside and more pressure on the belts it clears up?

The video inside the bailer was one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time.

It's good you showing how a bale is made. You have interesting and informative videos. I assume quite a few people also enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

That was GREAT! Thanks for the peek inside of the Baler, I have been curious about that for years.

I grew up on a farm in Benton Ontario Canada and it was a beef and pork farm my parents had .We owned a 44 Massey Harrison gas tractor and Massey Ferguson MF 65 diesel tractor with loader and a Ford N and I don’t know what number We did square bales .Massey Baler with a motor on the front and hand crank wheel to start the engine he had to start it by hand we had the exact same rake you have.we had 200 acre farm. Your videos are great good job. I enjoyed watching them this morning brought back great memories.

Peter Larsson , your produce my favourite farm videos and you are my favourite farmer.

In Cumbria, England they've been out grass cutting and picking up with forage harvesters; straight to silage. It was beautiful weather and I'm thinking, "Huh, they don't make hay here!" The day I left, the heavens opened. I guess those guys know what they're doing!

So cool the Videos you do for us to watch Pete. That was a awesome idea. Now I am not sure about the others. but I can't wait until you paint the 656 and see it in it's new glory!! I hope you paint the loader too.

Delighted for you, great work done there. Can't wait until I can do it myself. Keep the videos coming!!

Never get tired of watching your videos. I've learned more about small farming and family farming over the past few months than I thought I could. Keep making great content, and the Sunday videos are some of the best.

Thank You for sharing !!! Love your farm

That bailer is pretty neat. This has got to be the best purchase you have made on the farm.

My dad's uncle (Gary Vermeer) invented the big round baler in about 1970. He was a farmer himself and invented it when another local farmer said he was getting out of the cattle business because it was too much work. Most of Uncle Gary's inventions were done to fill a need he saw like that.

A very good explanation on the baler operation!

Thanks for the Demo Pete. That was Fun to watch. Cheers, Colin

There is something really satisfyiing about the whole cutting, tedding and baling process. I love it. Thanks for the ride-along Pete!

5:37 Pete doing lines in the field rolling that grass. :-)

I really enjoyed this video. Loved listening to the sound that the tractor and baler make when baling hay. It is a sweet purring sound that brings back memories.

I was always thinking about how bailer work but I'm glad to see thanks to you. Well done Pete.

Pete, Great job on creating this simple but detailed video on how the round bales are formed. 👍👍👍

Did enjoy it and thanks for the ride inside.

Safety Sam Approves of this video ! No limbs, fingers, or toes were harmed in the making of this video ! Pete has revolutionized the recording of making a bail from an obsolete great piece of machinery. Which was an amazing buy for $1,000! Score ! I’ve never seen a video from inside ! I might be new but still never seen one

Thank you so much for the demonstration on your baler. I always wondered about it. 🙋‍♀️

You put a lot of work into this video! The many camera angles you did was amazing!!! Thank you Pete !

Nothing prettier in all of farming than the sun setting on a field of freshly baled hay. Thanks for sharing Pete!

Thank you very much for taking the time to show how the round bale is made .That was great to see .

Awesome visual from inside the bailer. Thanks

Quite ingenious how the bailer works. Thanks for the video.

That was fun to feel like going on a ride on the tractor while you baled the hay. Thanks Pete!

Thanks for putting the camera in to get a shot of the round bale developing.

Pete once again I enjoyed the start to finish of a bale. Seeing how it was actually made seeing it from the inside was special. Thanks for the rides....

Think of the person that came up with the idea of round bales and to build the machine to do it and it actually works. Genius. Great video. Thanks
