Pop up bale loader

That is cheating!

Oh my he handled the bales twice oh the leaves are gone oh he wasted all the time he could of pulled a wagon behind the baler oh how will the world ever keep turning 😂😂😂😂😂😂?

That makes putting up little bales fun

Looks good Grandpa. Do you guys ever use bale hooks? We use them here, they are quicker than getting your fingers under the strings but with two working close together you need to be careful. It is amazing with a flick of the wrist how you can grab a bale and move it quickly.

Just wondering why you don't hook a wagon behind the baler and save the extra trip around the field ?

grandpa Love · Oct 7, 2020

Still have to get the wagon going..... 4 flat tires and just a frame..... Winter project

Time constraints. We could free drop 10 bales per minute with a New Holland 77 Hayliner. No way could two men stand on a wagon going that fast even if the field was as smooth as a billiard table, which none were. We did it both ways, though. Just depended on how much hay was ready to bale. Usually lots.

I will second a hook very handy, but as noted exercise caution if 2 people close together.
Spent lots of time on a 16 ft rack alone and that hook sure saves time.
Also if you use the hook always exercise caution when you lay it down or it may find a tire or a foot or a someone's backside.
One time I dropped the hook on the rack and jumped down to adjust tension, couple jiggles of the wagon and it was through the crack and in the tire (father not happy !!!)

That's a really neat machine! I had never seen one of those before.

And it begins

Looks like its getting the job done for you that is the main thing.You need to make a road trip I have a NH bale loader that is similar but has a conveyor
that the bales run up make you a real good deal on it.You could also get the Ford 101 plow I have same vintage as your tractors real good condition.

Traditional Farmer · Oct 7, 2020

so what is the big deal about an extra trip? I've done it both ways just as soon use the hay loader no dust blowing back off the baler.

That's the only way we handled bales also. Hooking one hook in the handle of the other to pull the last few bales to the top of a load was fun. Stan

Lor of guys concerned about another mans business is whst it all comes down to .

Nice video.....I noticed the boys don't use a hay hook. How many out there grew up handling small bales with a hook? I have my grandpas that he gave me over 60 yrs. ago. After haying season it would look like it was chromed.

Traditional Farmer · Oct 7, 2020

We used them all the time with the Allis Chalmers Roto Bales.

Bill(Wis) · Oct 7, 2020

All of our hay hooks stayed hanging in the shed. The whole neighborhood wore gloves and picked them up by the strings. We had one young neighbor girl in her teens that could through an old full square about 30 feet with one hand. (;>))

Keeps it from breaking if you have
spares!

grandpa Love · Oct 7, 2020

TF..... I could use a good road trip. Got any pictures?

C.Amick · Oct 7, 2020

Bale loaders worked well if you were hauling with trucks.
