How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZfaq channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin.
Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like.
These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.
Hello there, thanks for taking the time to watch our content! As a thank you and as a sort of easter egg, the first person to see this, go to our website (www.howfarmswork.com/store.html) put a hat in their cart and use the code "iseeyou" will receive a free hat. Have a great day!

Hey Ryan!! I've never seen bales wrapped like that. That is pretty darn cool. Thanks for the video.

This video makes this look a lot more fun then it actually is lol. I have 5 rows of 600 bales and can say without doubt it’s incredibly momentous and boring. I run a little more off the ends to twist and tie to completely seal then ends. Most people think only high moisture bales can be wrapped. I wrap all my dry orchard grass and they are beautiful by time of feeding. It was nice seeing the Tubeline in action. I have a Anderson.

@@mihaimera7837 same thing as storing indoors. I run out of building space pretty quick at 800 bales. If you leave bales outside in the weather, especially laying in the ground they rot. I can wrap a dry bake and still have a high quality bale a year later…though I rarely have much hay leftover from year to year.

A "little" cost but no loss for winter - give a look sometimes to the plastic damages ( cats claws , crows ) The best solution for big number wrapping ! Here in France because of tourism , people prefers us to use black or green plastic but the white provides the best results (the black create a cooking effect in hot areas and coloured does'nt have good stability in long conservating period ) give a hugg to poor foot damaged Travis !

My friend farmer ,when he started round bales ,used a wrapper like this;it was a demo that he used all summer.He had problems in the winter picking up bales cause of the snow accumulating aroud the bales.The next year he bought a single wrapper and he could stack the bales 2 or 3 high on the flat side with a clamp on the loader.On a normal day we could bale and wrao 100 bales with 2 guys and 2-3 tractors.

Pretty cool set up!! Years ago when we did round haylage, we stuffed two bales in an Ag-Bag and tied it shut... (Over 30 years ago). Got a little hint for you... When you pick up a bale, tip the Spears down just a little, not much, then lower the boom to compensate for the angle. Gets a much better hold of the bale😎 Later rapper boys..

@Blazer02LS 5 жыл бұрын

Want to feed a single bale, grab one and go and you don't open the rest to the air or rain. If you want to sell bales you have the same thing. Another thing is storage room, with individual wrapped you can stack them if needed, cannot do that with tubes. Last is hot bales, in the event a bale overheats there is less chance of every bale going up in flames, with the tubes you can end up with a real mess.

I've never seen a wrapper like that before. In the UK they're usually towed behind a tractor which picks the bale up and wraps it as you drive. You'd then use a bale handler on the loader which squeezes the bale rather than spiking so it doesn't break the wrap.

The wrapping will create a cure process, increase protein with the correct moisture. Usually, higher moisture to create the correct cure environment. Yes, weather protection will give 100% usable feed. One has a choice; build a building for storage or wrap.

The spears are good for unloading into the wrapper, the pallets are good for stacking

@fjkingswood 5 жыл бұрын

I would not criticise, but rather respectfully disagree with Ryan there. I find pallet forks to be a pain for moving bales and prefer bale spikes, especially when moving bails off the paddock. You don’t need to be as precise with the positioning of the spikes meaning you can pick bails up without stoping or even slowing down in some cases where as the forks you have to make sure you are lined up perfectly to get under the bail without damaging the net wrap. The spikes also have an advantage feeding as you can hold the bail up in the air and just stand in one spot pulling the net wrap off as it unwinds off the bail rather than sitting the bail on it’s flat and walking around it, something that makes life a lot easier if your walking in foot deep mud to feed out. Of course there is a level of personal preference in that as well so I don’t want to discredit Ryans reasoning, some people like myself prefer to use bail spikes for every application, others, like Ryan may not. Both are valid ways of doing the same job.
