I think I would rather have more winter than having to put that stuff up.

55 50 Ron · Mar 22, 2014

I do it for "therapy". About 40 or 50 bales twice a summer. About an acre of ground. Only takes a couple hours to bale and pick them up!

55 50 Ron · Mar 22, 2014

Yup. The governor opens a little at each round of the baler plunger when it's full of hay!

nice!! feels warmer !

Frank 41 · Mar 22, 2014

That brings back memories. Looks like you have something wrong with those nice trees, bagworms??

55 50 Ron · Mar 22, 2014

I don't know about bagworms. I thought they were brown because of a shortage of rain last summer. The brown tree in this picture is gone. I cut it out of there later.

Nice picture! I made a lot of hay with the exact same equipment.

Made me smile. I agree on the "therapy" part. A person can kind of relax a little while doing it....as long as everything works right lol.

Is that a New Holland 68 Hayliner? My Father had 3 of those darned things. They did not make a good square bale in our hay no matter what he did with them. We never liked the feed mechanism, but they had a real reliable knotter......unlike the Internationals that he bought to replace them!

Great photo Ron.
Warms the heart even if it doesn't reduce the fuel bill.
Thanks.

That is a great picture and it reminds me of a time when that tractor and baler were new. I was a teen then and used the identical equipment to bale well over 10,000 bales per season. It brings back memories and yes it was very warm weather when we baled.

Would you mind sharing that picture?

Royse · Mar 23, 2014

Great picture! I'm still baling (what little I do) with a JD 50 and a JD 14T baler.
We put up countless thousands of bales with this same equipment when I was a kid.

"sharing the picture" Don"t know what the specifics of that are. What is necessary for me to share it? Does sharing have site consequences? In other words does YT site have rights to anything about the picture?

55 50 Ron:
I assume that you photographed the picture and that it is your intellectual property. If you share it provide your name and I will list photo credits

I would like to use that photo, with credits, in a power point program that I will present to a small group in June with the Title of : "Evolution of Farm Production"

Thank you for your consideration.

Drop me an email and I can send a copy by email. It would be much higher resolution.

Sam,

It is a NH Hayliner 68. It will make "banana" bales when not adjusted correctly.

Takes a bit to adjust and needs some tweaking depending on the dryness of the hay.

An uncle had an IH baler and I hated to load wagons behind it as those bales were prone to come apart at the least "wrong" way to pull and throw them!
