Danny Brinkley, I agree about running machines at night. I used to plow snow throughout the night and liked it much better than daytime. Also, watching farm equipment at night just has a much more powerful and beautiful feel to it.

Darrin Lull it looked like it was almost midnight.

Yeah, that's not fun when you forget that on the other side of the brush is a road. Just saying the driver of the pickup was not happy about being rammed into a ditch by a round bale. We didnt have pins just pushed down the hill for fun... when we heard the bang and subsequent crash we ran..... it was labeled a random accident

@@calebjewell3173 lol, yes obviously make sure there's a safe landing at the end 😮😮😮

In my defense I was like 12 at that time. Now being 27 yeah surroundings need to be accounted for

Hey Coal Blooded I was in the industry for almost 40 yrs where are you In PA WV or KY or out west

Yes.

Ryan hasn't been on..3:03 easy to get Lost???

Yeah if they're too wet they'll heat and mold... best to give them a couple days after combining to dry out before baling... OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Thank you sir, kind of what i was thinking!

The monitor in the cab beeps when the bale is getting close to full size, and then beeps a long tone to signal you to stop so it can wrap and be ready to eject the bale. Yes they use the corn stalks for bedding for the cattle in winter. Baling stalks isn't really rare at all... not quite as common as hay but not uncommon either... Later! OL J R :)

It's not silage... just corn stalks for bedding cows... OL J R :)

MrFarmingmad. They are upgraded lights.

His brother Travis mentioned in his video.

Alright thanks I’ll check it out

Can't see why not if going up and back and using the same A B line & there is ability to sideshift if not quite centred anyway ~~~

Technically you COULD but as a matter of practicality, no... The monitor tells you which side of the bale is smaller and needs more hay fed in to that side to make it the same size, so you'd have to override the autosteer anyway to feed the baler properly, so why bother?? I suppose if one were making "full width" windrows matched to the width of the baler pickup, you COULD use the autosteer, BUT I still think it's a bad idea... some jobs are just still done better the old fashioned way... Later! OL J R :)

Hi Luke ,haven't done 1000's of rounds but baler seems to feed evenly as long I'm visually near centre of the windrow, ( mine is a Vermeer 604 k almost vintage now but very well built ) the bulk of my work is done by a custom operator with a welger which is almost silent as it operates ~ ~ ~

@@m.j.l.abulle9107 It's not so much about feeding as it is about bale shape... I know some guys that LOVE "full width" raking, and it's fine and DOES WORK **IF** the windrows are CONSISTENTLY heavy all the way across... I've seen a LOT of "saddleback" bales that were made by "full width" windrows that were basically two dinky windrows laying side by side that was set to rake them close enough together to be the same "width" as the baler pickup... what happens is as the bale forms the two small windrows build the shoulders of the bale faster and very little material is going into the CENTER of pickup, so the bale ends up sorta "hourglass" shape or "saddlebacked"... they don't hold up well, don't store well, and are harder to handle and have higher losses when stored outside. Because of that I'm not a big fan of "full width raking" and prefer to just rake the windrow to whatever size is appropriate for the yield of hay... and then if I have to "weave" a little in baling, so what?? Yeah once in awhile you turn out a "cone" shaped bale, but most of the time you turn out MUCH more even and consistent bales than you would in "full width" raking in thin hay. Of course I've seen guys not weaving enough or weaving properly (following the monitor or eyeballs on an older baler) and end up turning out "barrel" shaped bales, which are fatter in the middle of the bale than on either end, basically the opposite of saddleback bales... barrel shaped bales are hard to handle and don't store as well either. 95% of the job comes down to the skill of the operator in the end... Later! OL J R :)

Got that all & agree you see all types of operator skill out there . After mowing the potential quality & quantity losses begin , in our climate raking or tedding too aggressively at the wrong time of day can cause damage . As a tubewrapping custom operator I have seen it all ,both good & bad & it is satisfying to have a client's job go well with dense high quality bales ~~~

You can't see behind the baler... with the added camera one COULD add a work light back there I suppose... otherwise you can't see back there so why light it up? OL J R :)

Bedding for cows in winter... OL J R :)

Relax

Not necessary true my dad and I put a John Deere Baler out with a 5 Gallon Bucket of water from a pond. Depends on if you are paying attention and how fast you react.

Because most of the stalks and leaves go out under the header through the stalk rollers, not through the chopper and off the cleaning shoe of the combine... Most of what comes out of there is just chaff and cobs. It's the stalks and leaves they're after... OL J R :)

@@lukestrawwalker Oh Yes, you are correct. You explained well and I didn't even think about that part. Thanks Luke 👍

@@BWYinYang You're welcome! We've baled grain sorghum stubble before for extra feed hay, since we don't bed cattle in southern Texas on pasture... there's a lot of corn stubble, sorghum stubble, and rice stubble that gets baled in our area when hay is in short supply... Later! OL J R :)

@Hannah Smith Miss Hannah, you got a plan. Thanks for the reply.

jazko probably so he can pick up whatever is underneath the baler by the time he stops.

They don't have a bale kicker on their baler.

It is bedding, the corn has already been harvested.

@@watermanone7567 "fodder" means feed

Watch the video, they use it for bedding. when it is used for feed it usually gets chopped with the corn and stalks.

They aren't, Hannah called them for intern college credit.

Ok thanks

Less waste.

@@bethfrazier414 at the expense of your baler.

@@bethfrazier414 screw it just get one of these. Stalks will bale themselves lol kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8CFg6Sr36eXgGg.html
