SEAT TIME - First Cut, Baled

Ed S. · May 24, 2014

First cutting is baled and in the barn. We had all kinds of problems with the sisal twine breaking, either in the baler, or when lifting to stack on the rack. Kept adjusting things with little improvement, when Son Number Two suggested switching over to the new bales of twine (I had been using up the last of last year's bales). That did the trick - we didn't break another bale the rest of the afternoon.

Sisal twine deteriorates over time, including winter.

Hes a Born farmer. We never see old hay racks
around here all large bails now, but as a kid I
loaded and unloaded and stacked them in a hot old
hay loft could'nt buy a breeze. As a little kid the
hay racks had no wheels ya just drug a flat rack
with a B and 2 guys would hay hook the bale as they
went by. They were also used as a sled in some of
the first tractor pulls.

great looking rigs,

problem is that big Allis hooked to the baler, too much power, Ha, Ha,

wish I could have been there to help stack the bales up in the roof of a large tin covered barn, on a very hot afternoon, with a about 4 big nest of wasp flying around, mad at the world.

that is when the fun really starts.

You always have good photos Ed.
Are those radial tires on that N?

brings back memories. we did it the same way and then would stack the hay/straw in a old bank barn clear to the roof peak. so hot you could hardly breathe.

From the pic it looks like you have a NH baler. I bale with a NH 68 square baler. I usually go to Co-op and buy my twine. Goldcrest brand 9000. I ran out last year and the local Massey dealer is a lot closer to me than the co-op is so I bought some Agco 10000. My baler did not like it at all. I baled 500 bales with the Goldcrest and had no problems, with the Agco it would miss about every 25th-30th bale. The only thing I can figure is it didn"t like the smaller diameter of the 10000 twine vs the 9000 that usually gets ran in it.

Thanks! Tires are three bar on front and 12.8 (?) on rear (one size up from normal). No idea if they're radial or not without looking!

Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! Yep, mines a Hayliner 68 as well, and despite the twine being from the same company, last years was definitely thinner than the new bales bought just a couple weeks ago. Last years gave me fits last year too, so even though there probably was some "loss" I think maybe it was a bad batch.

es, as long as I'm on the working side of things, they can stuff square bales! Big round ones are more than enough work for me......8 hours just to move & stack my hayshed full. Clutch leg & back side too sore!

I have a Super 68 Hayliner as well. We baled this last weekend to beat the rain that never showed up. The hay was thin for some reason, I suspect some of it froze out. I just bale a little as a hobby and sell it to a neighbor with horses.
