Something I've wondered about with bale kickers: Can you adjust them on the fly to fine tune how far it throws the bale?

Nice equipment you have sir. Hay looks good. I hated baling as a young man. I enjoyed much more on my own as I was in my thirties and forties while raising my own cattle. I used to bale small squares too and stack them on the wagon and stack them in the barn myself. About a 1000 bales a year. Kow Farmer Kurt

It is amazing the difference that sunshine makes. I find that I can't bale for much more than 20 minutes after I lose the sun or I start to get moisture out of the ground. I am surprised that your wife lets you live so dangerously! A few years after I got started in hay my wife made me get a cab tractor to protect me from akin cancer. Or maybe I should say that avoiding skin cancer was one of the selling points that I used.

Looks like old times to me. Last year we had the thrower wagons, boys and I did 4,500 straw and 3000 second cut bales. Boys told me they were sick of small bales, and I wasn?t having as much fun with them anymore either. So I bought a new round baler . I still have a small square baler and will make 2-300 straw bales, just to remind me why we changed.
Nice hay Bill and nice video,your bales look to be about 34-36 inches long and around 50 lbs?How do you like the Massey so far?

That is the first time I saw a bale kicker in action. What powers the kicker. Looks to me that would sure do some damage to someone if he got in the way of the bale. Stan
The baler has its own hydraulic pump that runs off belts off the flywheel on the side of the baler, 2 lines connect to the tractor to tilt the thrower to make turns, there is a rod or in some guys use a car power window motor to control the distance the thrower throws into the wagon, mine just had a long rod going from the dial to the tractor seat. There is also a lock out on the thrower so it cannot trip and throw. Yes getting hit by the thrower pan would cause some damage!
I remember growing up we?d do 10-12 000 square hay and 3-4000 straw with a MF 124& thrower/buster. About my 3rd year in I?d unload by myself and send the wagon helper up loft. So long as I could keep them coming by myself I didn?t have to trade off a loft guy. Once you figure out which ones to grab in what order the next bale pretty near rolled to your feet themselves.
Paul,
Nice looking pics and I like that White tractor too. Knock on wood, the MF 1105 that I bought has been an excellent addition. I?d like to find a decent open station 1105 - just because... My IH 756 gasser has been parked all summer. Not sure the future for it.

As was mentioned, the kicker has a hydraulic pump driven off the flywheel. Side to side is via hydraulic remotes and cylinder, Distance is controlled via an electric motor regulating pressure on the throw cylinder (as I understand it) The pan kicker can really place the bales and pile them up in the wagon. The arc of the throw clears a goodly height on the front and I?m either using twine or adding an extra board in front to get more bales in the wagon. The pic shown is my MF 1105 hauling a loaded wagon to the barn. All of the bales on this load were kicked onto the wagon.

Everything looks new, including the hat. I have a roof on my open station JD 5420. I bet you would appreciate one after a day in the sun.
