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.
Wow loved the baler but not the price. I would stick with what you have already. God bless.
Why would you not just use a Bale Baron? A proven and tested machine ? There is even a self propelled version of the Bale Baron
They can’t pick up our sized bale. These are 3 string 90+ lb bales. Or I’d definitely try it out.
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.
Oh, and minimum wage here is almost $14 an hour.
Poetry in motion - Watch this all day but alas I must work too.
We buy and sell by 1st and 2nd cutting
Your the boss, stop them!!
There is a large hay market in the Panhandle. I see hundreds of truck loads in a few days but I cannot recall a load of small bale this year.
Build a apparatus to bolt on the front of your tractor to tip the bales over as you load.
Loving the sleeper cab on the forktruck / forklift ........ 🙃
lol sleeper cab? It’s no sleeper cab.
expensive hay
Yes, the saying goes with hay as other things. You get what you pay for.
Need to remove the logo
Huh?
It's in the bottom corner of the screen
What crops?
That stack does not seem as tight as it should be.
Alot of traffic on the field😢
Yes. Unfortunately.
Krone is making a big baler that can a big bale that is divided in to 9 small bales
Is it the same one they had 6+ years ago? I looked at one. The 9 bales were still 100+ lbs.
Looks to me if it helps you sell more hay in helps you more than the customer because you don't use it they don't buy
That’s exactly the point.
I feel like we’re a little out of order here on videos.
I’ve still never seen a flat bed truck loaded with the 3 string bundles going down the road
On the wrong coast
My crystal ball shows this will not work that well.
Trevor, I'm confused. Is this the same bundler that was on your video 2 weeks ago??
We have barns full of 21 bale bundles of green alfalfa . Last year we couldn’t sell them fast enough now we can’t give them away.
Out of curiosity, where are you and what price are you asking?
New Mexico anywhere from 8 to 12.
To Watch, Or Not To Watch Great video btw, love how everyone worked around the machine
ooh Trevor..... not a good idea to call your sister an idiot!
Definitley need to remove the hammerstrap from that tractor hitch. Your current configuration can cause binding.
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.

Dejavu. I know you watch Farming Insider. Big with th baron. 2 string tho. Seems ya would need those attachments for loaders to handle them. Also like you showed us you would have to get the height right for trucking. Few things to work out.
Check a old Krone Multi Baler ..
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.
The 3 string market is so small, I get why they don’t make it.
@@BalesHayFarmandRanch but you would think if they are still making the balers there must still be a reasonable one as otherwise I would have thought firms like AGCO would have completely stopped them and other than being loaded into box trailers being you'd still be able to use your squeezes
Dude why did you show us that equipment! with out the demo!🤷🤦♂️
lol. I lost this footage. Two weeks ago was the demo footage.
🤭👍👌✌️
That's funny Big T 2 weeks ago. I've seen the Same darn machine. A heck of a deal.💪🥸👍
Mike Mitchell has complained forever about Fendts not having front safety glass. He had a video where it blew out while he was driving & filming!
Never would have thought you'd have pocket gophers. Trapped them as a kid here in Iowa for a 10 cent bounty per pair.
Do you ever do any real work? Kool video Trevor. 🚜🚜🚜
In 2014 I had a blast running a Stinger, just barely slowed down to pick up the bale (pushed a little while grabbing) and sailed along to get the next bale while loading the one just picked up, wish I could run another one BUT, too old now.
Hey Big. T. Do you ever PDI your squeezes?💪😎👍
The operation seems very inefficient - please post another video explaining why this process is beneficial. Thanks for the video
It makes it easier for the receiver of the product.
How many acers can you do with a full tank of water in the steamers?
Did you lose Forney as a Spencer? I noticed you haven't been mentioning them.
My neighbor and i got my hay baled up last saturday. Mostly fescue with mixed grasses here in sw mo. We got right at 400 small bales on 5 acres. We were smoked! I need me one of them stackliners!
Great video as always!
Im glad we dont hafta use steamers in Oklahoma.
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.
Where are you located
Buckeye AZ
Squirrel !!!!
How can you wear long sleeve shirts?🥵I’ve never been to Arizona.
These are super thin. They breath really well and keep the sun off my arms.
Thanks again Trevor
