Bales Hay Farm and Ranch

If you like farm equipment and have a sense of humor, follow my daily journey as I work our farm and visit others.

Trevor is a 6th generational farmer, whose family began farming as homesteaders over 100 years ago in Buckeye, Arizona back in 1891. We grow, harvest, and store feed for wholesale and retail customers to purchase throughout the year.

    After watching all the previous videos on this set up and you explaining how you’d have to change your set up to accommodate this tool, is this something that could be set up in a stationary position, run your operation like you do now, bring a stack over and split it in half and have a guy loading this by hand, get yourself a ramp on a 25 degree slope, rollers on the bottom, safety screen on the bottom 4 feet for safety, have the guy throw on the ramp and the bales slide down into this bundler, makes a bundle and dumps it out and have a guy cleaning up the bundles in the back, that way you don’t have to change your set up and have to rent/buy/sub contract the bundle picking in the field

    Love what you guys do! Just wondering what is the weight of your small three string bales? Here in Michigan, most of us are still two string at average 50 lbs.

    Cool machine but I’d rather pay 6-7 high schoolers 10-12 bucks an hour to stack them on racks as they come off the baler. One less machine and tractor to buy and maintain and I’m putting people to work.

    I would too. Unfortunately it makes it really hard for the receiver to unload 400+ bales quickly. These bales also weigh 95+ lbs. so it would take a lot of kids.

    Hello from ohio Trevor Probably won't work with your 3 tie bales but a bale baron is what you need. We demoed an arcusin a few years ago too slow and the bundles suck. Check out farming insider the made the switch!

    The bale baron won’t work for these bales, and we can’t run 2 string bales. They are too slow for us.

    I used to square twenty plus thousand coastal bales. Our bales were 34 to 36 inches. The bale Barron likes shorter bales to work consistently. That’s the way they pay for themselves. As a buyer of bale bundles, I prefer to buy bundles by the ton , so I don’t get screwed by 50 to 55lb bales. Of course the guy selling doesn’t like that. However most people have the mindset of : a bale is a bale mentality.

    You would think with 3 strings bale baron would make one rather than limit their market. You could always carry it as you normally and set it up as a static unit with a roller thing to feed the only thing would be is turning a layer from your cruiser to a single line.

    Edison Motors will certify your guys to convert your oldest semi to an ev conversion. 50% fuel savings, more hauling loads down grade. Unlimited range and each truck is an emergency power supply. Also sell solar 30ft light tower trailers you can use to charge during loading. 3kw per mile. Young loggers from bc canada built two without a dime of carbon tax grant money. As good boned equipment fails, recycle it with redundant power, air, electric systems. Reduce roadside service calls. Check them out. Also expert solar bush designers. Put those roofs to work.
