Might Trade the JD 348 and NH 68 On One of These....

That is about the most shameful video I have ever seen. I have watched many videos of people successfully making bales by hand but this is not one of them. Those are some shoddy looking bales.

Worse and the portion that is totally shameful is letting those 2 kids run around in the field with no diapers or pants. I guess he is saving money on diapers too, but why would anyone film that and post to the public?. He even makes the comment towards the end about not sure what all the crying is about. Well heck if my tender private parts were getting scratched up with itchy hay like every time one of them toddlers falls done then I would be cranky too. Not to mention insect bites.

Sure all that dust he blasts directly into his face with the wood block is good for his health too....I saw more than I wanted to see in this video and wish I never saw it.
 
Sorry if the video offended - was not the intent of posting it.

What I saw was a lot of time consuming hard work and a big field behind the fellow full of hay. Until I saw this video, I thought my great
grandfather had it rough putting loose hay in stacks and hauling to the barn - all horse and wagon as he never owned a tractor. But hammering
a bale together in a trash can with a heavy piece of wood - somehow I think my great grandfather would have been relieved he didn't have to
do that.
 
Never mind this post, was an interesting video. No clothes
and bare feet in the summer was good enough for my
grandparents not sure why someone gets all bent about it
today.
 
That reminds me a lot of the one Dad built for me for my pedal tractors. It was a small wooden box with the end knocked out. It had two holes in each side to run strings through,then I'd shove hay in until it came out the other end and I'd pull the strings through and tie them off. I made a lot of bales with that little thing.
 
The only way that works is if you time is worth absolutely nothing. I'd put it up loose before I bothered with that mess.
 
Let's say he can make a bale in 20 minutes, and it's loose and weighs maybe 25 lbs. He is producing about $4 of hay per hour. Why not get a job at Mickey D's and triple his income. I(s this a pilot for anther survivalist tv show?
Further, most kids out with their Dad are laughing and playing and smiling. Not bawling their heads off.
Send social services out there. Something isn't right.
 
U wanna see what I think is a pretty good bailer of this type, Scroll down till you see 2 Aussie looking guys with no shirts and with hats on bailing with a bailer set up at an angle on a pair of wheels. Its got all foreign writing so heck knows where there from, but I like the Idea,
OTHER THAN
Id have a block built into the plunger face to slide wires through, and a removable block to put inside the end of the chamber when I closed up the door. Then I could use either wire, or string. If the fixed block on the plunger face didn't work, id have 2 blocks.

ALSO, Id use a dump rake on the field rather than a side rake. That way the bailer could go from pile to pile, OR the dump rake could bring them the hay with them set up at the middle of the field. Just like when that kind of bailing was done in the 1900s
