Amen!

No kidding haha

Ditto

Yeah it’s hard work even doing it like this

Our Set up is under an open shed, so wind direction moves most of the dust...... sometimes at you sometimes away from you..The only time our bale count per hour was slow was when we used a Bale Bandit..... Being as the Bale Baron builds from the bottom and the Bale Bandit from the top.. the Baron is more consistant and less prone to rough up the bales.......causing jams.......

I hope that’s a good thing?

@@DLHFarms Well that may entail putting a hay grapple on a Blackhawk helicopter before you're done. 🤣

@@justinwatch bahahaha I’d love to see that

Dennis that is a good thing! Keep them coming. Ill be makin my own comment here soon

@@DLHFarms yes that’s a very good thing!

I don’t want to be nosy but I wonder what people are getting $ to rebale. Wonder if it’s worth the trouble. But then again it’s something to keep you busy in the winter time

@@nalley6815 I’m getting 1.50 per bale

We been at it for 5 years and nobody is beatin down or door....... besides keeping 6 big box stores supplied with OUR hay demands most of our efforts....

Thanks Ron! In a world full of haters I’m glad at lest a few people liked it.

Haha thanks

How’s the Simpson doing?

@@DLHFarms When we Purchased the Complete outfit, We had to operate it under his Shed while the building Company was erecting ours...... We never have used the "Fluffer: because it creates too many fines....We feed the windrow into the baler as it comes off the bale..... Which requires gearing all the tables to the same feet per minute travel....and a high dollar needle valve on the hydralic line to controll the feed rate of all the tables together...... then adding some means of spring assisted hold downs to keep the baler pickup from snatching hay off the baler feed table ...... The first Incline Table has holes worn over the supports under the bottom....but stil going strong......... When we gonna see yours operate?????.

@@farmingforfunandprofit940 Once I get back in the mood to make some videos haha

It is definitely a work out. If I did that everyday I would be in good shape except for my knees.

Haha

Glad you enjoyed it

Usually it’s the core that gets the pins

Haha

Being smack in the middle of S.C. The reason we round bale is for speed of harvest, transport storage accomidations, and end product conditions........This past year 6 people cut, tedded, raked, baled, hauled, stored close to 2500 4x5 rounds in 3 10 day rain free periods during hay season.....That is 50,000 small squares.....that would have to be handled..... more than once........

Thanks! It really depends on the bales more than the material I’ve had good hay bales that feed like a dream and I’ve had some hay that is terrible and same with the straw. I had baled some straw a couple years ago and those bales feed like a dream then I got into some that someone else baled and when I would cut the net off the whole bottom of the bale would fall off the spear, those are a nightmare to feed, mostly pitchforking then.

@@DLHFarms I know you hate unrolling but ever think about upgrading from the hustler? Like the simpco with a staging table?

@@hammerhayllc if I keep doing this I need to do something different probably.

@@hammerhayllc Do'n't get the wrong idea.... as is it will work..... but takes some engineering to make it work right......

Thanks for watching

Yep

Haha

Still no snow unfortunately. Lots and lots of rain

Usually it’s the core that will shear the pin or sometimes a big clump comes off. A lot of it has to do with the operator.

Haven’t tried rebaling with it yet. Baled 13k in the field so far so good.

Got another bag of pins in the mail couple days ago and 17 more round bales showed up in my barn yesterday 🫣

Bahaha! I’ll take a groundhog hole and a hill over this crap

If you like breaking shear pins in your baler there great.

The guy that owned the hay that was running the unroller will be the one that takes the hay down there. My wife and I did go on our honeymoon there though I still remember Bubba Gump shrimp

Man had round bales but needs square bales to sell to horse farmers in Charleston SC

Thanks! Been working on some new stuff

I’m using an Insta360 x3 to capture 360 degree video then I use the insta 360 studio to keyframe the movement to follow the tractor or anything else I want to show. I use a DJI mic for sound and sync it during the editing.

@@DLHFarms cool thank you.

I actually did this last weekend seemed to help

I can under 2 different shelters with 2 different machines.......

Most of them don’t have tractors to handle round bales and never will. Someone with a horse or a goat or two can’t justify buying a tractor just to feed it with.

Thanks!

Hell he bought that hay I think for 60 a bale. I think he said he’s getting 14 a square in Charleston SC.

Thanks

That’s the truth geez

I did not, they are hard to find around here

@@DLHFarms I haven’t personally seen any where I’m at but I do have a dealer about an hour away. The guy trying to sell me one seems like he would get you whatever you needed. I just wonder why they’re so much cheaper than Deere, Massey, etc… Makes you wonder if they’re cheap parts. But I’ve also heard they’re very high quality. So who knows. He’s got a 2022 6130 powershift with a loader he’d sell for $110k. Awful tempting

Can’t find no help. I’m spread kinda thin.

Animal feed. Not sure why but this guy has been selling hay down there for several years I think he gets about 14 a bale down there.

I know you would say there’s no power in that building but that won’t stop you Dennis . You would just roll up with a generator/ welder and plug it into it , no problem . With your array of equipment available to you , you always come up with a solution . We enjoy your Channel ! Watching from Raleigh/ Durham, North Carolina USA !

Yeah it needs to be set up with the tractor sticking out of the building but this was the only spot I had inside when I set it up

17 more round bales showed up wild I wasn’t there yesterday. 😥

That’s awesome

20 to 22 on these

I had a mask on. The other guy doesn’t work for me not my responsibility.

@@DLHFarms Yup I know. Been there done that.

20 to 22

About 20

I got that 5711 Dyna 4 in the spring. I’ve got a few videos on it.

@@DLHFarms I must’ve missed that. I thought you took a 5700 series back to the dealer.

@@DLHFarms Ok. I am relatively new to your channel. I was watching things out of order. I got confused between the 5700 S and the 5700 Global. Not realizing there were two tractors. Also, in most cases when I saw you in a red MF, I assumed it was the 4710. Not realizing you had sold THAT to your dad. Glad to see there is a 5700 you like. Should we ever want to upgrade from our 4707, I was worried we had nowhere to go. Now I have a better understanding of the 5700 line above us. We watch your channel for more than just MF stuff. There is a debate in the office that perhaps we should hay some of our gun range fields (not the live-fire ones) so we watch how you do stuff to learn. Thanks…and..oops! 😜 -Marky

@@John1911 no problem 😉

Thanks!

Yes and yes

I think the Deutz 6 series comes standard with a reversing fan. I know you can get it as an option on the 5g series. They sure would be handy!!!!

@@farmingforfunandprofit940 could you highlight the part where I said he should buy anything?

@@farmingforfunandprofit940 damn that’s awful expensive just for a fan!

Sorry but I was suggesting something to put the bales in a 21 bale bundle.......Either a Bale Bandit( had one) or a Bale Baron (what we have now) Their is another one Arcusin that makes a 14 bale bundle... but the baron make more manageable, neater bundles....

Yes your correct

Thanks, will do!

To turn a $60 bale of hay into $280 worth or square bales.

Yes 4x5 20 to 22 bales per roll

@@DLHFarms ok i run 4x6 rolls and i always guessed 25+. I've never rebaled rolls before, an unroller is about 20k plus you have alot of equipment running and working as well. Those rolls were raked with a v rake i assume, very dirty. I used 3 kuhn rotor rakes. Keeps hay cleaner as you well know.

Yeah I hate a v rake. One thing that’s happening here is the guy I’m baling for had me turn the bale pressure all the way down those squares only weigh aboit 35 to 40 pounds. The first roll we did when we first started this at my normal bale pressure we got about 15 bales. The squares were about 50 to 55 pounds

Glad to finally meet someone who hates a v rake as much as i do. They are cheap and just scubs the ground, most people doesn't know what dirty hay smells like. Not sure what you charged the guy for rebaleing, but you had severl $$$$ in it.

Is that the mf4710 and the new massey ferguson ?

Already seen it. Talked to my salesman about getting me one to try out

@@DLHFarms Cool maybe you can make a video . I wonder if it will work on 12 bales flat without a tie-grabber grapple

@@eof3100 not sure but probably

It's running the PTO for the rebaler.

The other side of the barn was full of round bales at the time I set up. It had to be where it is then. Now I could move it since the hay has been moved but it’s a lot of work to take down and set up

Way more money in squares for one and also need the squares to fill orders for squares.
