Very proud of y'all, young man. Life is SO GOOD.

Bales are looking good! Keep up the great videos!

Great Video... These new bales looked really Fantastic... Just think, when you get 20-40 hours in the seat baling you will become an Old Pro at this New Adventure you've taken on of... Baling your own Feed... Thanx for sharing...

Glad you got your problems fixed with the baler

That’s a good bale!

Love the vid

JM Farm and cattle I just found your video, and it was very interesting, I have a baler just like yours, I got tired with the twine mechanism, today I made 3 bales with net wrap. it wasn't easy to adapt it but I am working on it. My bales now are more square round as you say.

That first Bale you made was a good shape.. I could tell when you picked up the hay that it was probably too dry, which is better than to wet, but you do abuse the hay more when it's over dry. Especially with alfalfa. Could tell you're still running your RPMs quite High. Back at off to 1500 or 1600rpm and you will abuse the Baler and the hay much less. Also you need to increase your ground speed to 5 to 6 miles an hour, your Baler will handle it fine. As far as weaving goes, you can make a couple short quick weaves to get the Bale started, but once you're going, spend 5-15 seconds on each side at least, depending on how heavy the hay is. The oversized Bale light could be something as simple as some issues with the electrical prongs in the wiring harness where it connects behind the tractor cab

My cousin called me yesterday and asked if I could come help him finish baling his hay. So I tried what you said ran less rpm and almost 6mph Baler worked great and bales came out good! Much “smoother” sounding

Thanks for the video. I am just starting out with the same 535 JD bailer in Montana.

Going great for you bro loved the video

You stay on the grass line.

When you cut the pto on ease it on and if your bales have high and low spots then go a little ways on one side and then go a little ways on the other side and then for the rest of the way go in the center

You are just right on the amount of twine. Put plenty on the bales will stay together better. You're are weaving just right when you first start the bale once you got it started then count to about 10 seconds on one side then switch and 10 seconds on other side. Your doing a great job ! 1700 lbs is what I get too. Depends a lot on how fast you drive.

On the oversize light, you might also want to check and make sure your tailgate is latching correctly. Could be the tailgate comes open a little bit causing the light to come on. One way to check is to bale til the light comes on then stop the baler and go look to make sure the tailgate isn't cracked open slightly. Bales are looking good now.

Wow, that's heavy for grass hay. That's great.

Great videos Jesse 🚜👍

I like that hat for sure.

Great looking bale. Twine could be tighter; they tend to relax as the bale sits.

Smalltown Farmer88 thank you!

We have a john deere 569 round baler and we normally weave back and forth by staying 5 to 10 seconds on each side before going to the other side if u go back and forth 2 much u will still end up with 2 much hay in the middle of the bale

Most of the baling we did in Australia was between 10 pm at night and 2 am in the morning only stopping when it got too dewy. Then again in the morning until it got too dry late morning. No dust that way and you keep the nutrition in the bale. During the afternoon it was mowing time which is the best time to cut to maximise sugar in the leaf.

Looks like you got it under control. A lot of dust flying . I rather have it dry then wet. Your baler makes a good bale. I say they are 5x5's , my son has a 558 JD 5x5 baler , I have a 458 mega wide 4x5 baler . I like the 4x5 's they are much easier to haul on a 8 ft wide 24 long gooseneck. I haul 15 bales at a time . We also use a regular round roll wagon that we can put elven on. Keep up the good work.

It looks like it's not putting so much twine on now . Looks good. That old Brome grass when it's that dry is really hard to make a really dense bale also. But the cows freaking love it! Ours always do anyway

Joshua Smith I think for the most part I got it to work good. I haven’t fed any yet but it sure smells and looks good! Haha

Square shoulders if the windrow is not that same size as the pickup then weave left and right is a good way to get the perfect bales but bales look good we bale 1300 to 2000 bales a year and I get tired of weaving so I just set the rake to four foot I have a five foot pick up that let's me just roll on I have a 5 by 4 ft baler check your sensor and wires around the sensors you LL get it going

It's green 😁

Your first bale is as good as you would want

Also CK ur string tensioners they will wear and not get tight

I weave about every ten seconds I also leave pto at 540 while dumping bale saves lots of time bale more hay no stop an start

hi nice hay bail how tight should they be i used to have a farm but the bails are small and squir . hay looks good dry thanks.

Yeah that is a good thing to utilize the free grass hay that grows along the road just for the hell of it or when you get low on Your mane hay fields so you need extra, but which that's what is a waste not only because our roadsides have a deep/ steep ditches, so where im form it would be nice to utilize the free grass hay that grows along our back country roads but the problem thing is, is that theirs way to many lazy people that don't have any consideration that always throw out there trash in the ditches.. and our roads ditches are deep/ steep. Inerways good video.👍

Do you kick the pto off when unloading or does machine stop self

Are jd 535 balers a good machine. Looking at buying 1. What should I look at or have problems with

👍👍👍

It's either bad wiring in that baler or sensor my friend has a 430 has that problem too

When you go to wrap your bail with the string if you would slow your PTO down and then just ring the bell you will not use nowhere near as much string and it's a lot more cost-effective talk to bail out then turn the PTO back up and then start again

Elvin Bishop sittin on a bail of hay.

As others have said, I think your gate may be coming open a bit causing the oversized light to come on. Does your gate latched light go out when the oversized light comes on?

Bill Murphy hmm that’s a good question. I feel like sometimes it does and sometimes it don’t. I will have to pay more attention next time

Did you get everything greased? When the bale was discharged there was a lot of iron on iron sound. Grease is the farmers best friend.

John Doe i believe so. I need to buy a book for it to know where they all are but I searched everywhere on it and think I got them all. I know most of that noise is the pick up.

Can this baler bale "small rounds"? (half size). I'm looking for one that can do that. Any info would be appreciated.

looks like the hay was way too dry. hard to make a nice tight bale in crackling dry conditions. also when you bale too dry all your nutrients are falling out of the baler. so basically you are getting a product just a little bit better than straw. 535 is a good old baler, have a good one!

before unloading the bale back up a foot that way u miss no hay

I'm in need of your assistance on the 535. The pickup shoot won't lower like yours does by just cranking it. Acks like there's a locking pin I'm not seeing? Manuel says it's either crank or hydraulic. I don't see any controls for it if it's hydraulic and only two lines connect to the tractor.

If it's hydraulic you'll see a cylinder connected to the pickup head. If not then it is crank and may be locked up with rust

@@JMfarmandcattle beating it around the field a few times loosened things up. I greatly appreciate your insight!

Make ur wind rolls wider u have less going side to side

You on wide rows?

What size your bales?

When u are running the baler and kick a bale out idle the tractor down when u open the gate and close it. This will be easier on your belts when they start turning when u close the gate.. If you are baling grass , mainly thin windrows of very dry hay, it may not want to take the hay into the chamber and plug the pickup. To solve this raise your gate , lock it, u will see the drive roller, Its the roller with rods welded across it. Those rods get worn and get smooth. Weld very rough, I mean ROUGH and UGLY , beads on the rods and all over the drum. This will make your baler way more aggressive taking the hay in and will seldom plug. Up grade your gate latched to the new heavier style. These will lock your gate shut better without worry of your gate popping loose when your bale reaches full size. There is a lot of pressure on those latches while forming the bale. This winter take your belts off and make sure they are the right length . There are longer belts and shorter belts. Take your pickup off and replace the rollers and cams, tube the teeth bolt to if bent or worn bad. Put poly bands on it. They are well worth it, The bands wont bend or if a tooth rubs on them the wont where the tooth out. Now here is what I do and have done it on many of the older deere balers.....I put the new style square teeth on. Last way longer and in my opinion pick up light grass windrows better. Now here is some words of caution using the square teeth.. Loosen your pickup drive belt till it wont turn the pickup while running the baler but not baling. Then tighten the belt until the pickup starts running. then ease into the windrow. If it stops tighten the nut on the belt tightener two full turns. then if works ok go baling. If you hit a big gopher mound or badger mound and the pickup stops turning when you hit it but starts again once past you have it set right. If it slips in heavy windrows just tighten one turn at a time till it goes. You want it to slip when hitting big mounds if it doesn't you will twist all the teeth tubes and will have to buy new ones. they don't like wet hay but slightly damp is ok The 535 is a very good baler. Owned many and still have one as back up

Makin Hay thanks for all the information! I will have to check into everything you said! Have you ever had a belt try to twist on you? Same belt every time. And it will do it anytime doesn’t even have to be picking up hay just in the shop turn the pto on and boom twist. Far outside (passenger side) all the belt guides are there.

@@JMfarmandcattle Yup I have had the twist . Since it keeps twisting the belt is now stretched on one side which is causes it to twist. Is the belt looser then the others ? If so , take the spice apart cut the belt off along side the splice on one end to shorten the belt a little . That may help. If does it again you will need to replace the belt.

Do work bro! Pack the corners ! You almost want to Bob and weave over the windrow.

U don't have to shut off when kicking out

As square as round is gonna get😂😂

Bales weight 943 lbs. each.

The faster your PTO boiler is spinning while it's stringing the bail the more string you will use which cost you more money

Thats not true.... The pump will run slower with a slower pto rpm... so its no difference...

I dread doing fields that boarder roads. Your doing road shoulders, even worse. IT's the debris thrown out of car windows, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and whatever else junk. Had a car go off road and crash in our field. The guy tried getting out himself. Nope, needed a tow truck. Said ya everything picked up off the field. I know better, after checking myself I found the car jack, tire iron, and a ratchet strap still there. Wouldn't that be fine for the mower. Hardware sucks. When the grass gets 4 to 5ft. high you can't see what lies beneath it. Saw a cow chomping on a shredded aluminum can once. Cut her mouth and tongue up good. Be careful.

Surprised you're having that many issues. Guys here in PA run round balers for ever now and u don't hear of many issues. Alot of them plastic wrap them. They need little drying and are basically sealed Air tight. Most of the dairy guys are out of business. It's beef guys still playing.

Probably just a loose or bad wire at the input
