Sunday in the hay field

Bruce from Can. · Jul 24, 2016

Raked , baled, and wrapped 101 bales of second cut , off of 32 acres. Sprinkled rain off and on while I wrapped.

Does wrapping in the rain wreck the wrapping job? I don't have any experience with single bale wrappers, but I usually hire someone to wrap 100 or so bales in a row with a tubeline type wrapper. I understood wrapping in the rain wrecks the seal of the plastic.

Never found it to make any difference .

That self loading wrapper looks like it would save a lot of time wrapping. Plus you can get the bales wrapped ASAP too. Bruce you have a nice set of hay making equipment!!!

The Kubota dealer must get a little gitty when you walk through the door! LOL

Now, come on. Tell the truth. The wife in the one I see in the cab working, not you...

How do you move them after they are wrapped? Do you make holes in the wrap with a bale spear?

Do you have a baler for the used wrap?

Hydraulic grabber in place of the bucket.

I have become the invisible man, lol .

We have plenty of Kubota tractors in my area, but I think that is the first Kubota baler I've seen. NICE looking equipment.

You've posted pictures of your wife wrapping before. Looks like she earned some new digs! Is the cab radio set to "her" stations? lol

Very impressive. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Just curious, but I seem to remember you bought a new CIH baler a year or to ago. Did you not have good luck with it, or just time to trade? Callaghan's treat you that well?

Bruce from Can. · Jul 25, 2016

Wanted to up grade to a baler with knives in it . Wanted chopped straw , and didn't want to buy a straw chopper, and make another job for my self too. Bought the CaseIH baler in 2013. I never had a seconds trouble with that baler, and got most of what I paid for it back on trade allowance. Didn't get the new baler from Challahan's , bought from Doble's in Sunderland, they are closer to my farm , and the Coop feed mill is a place I seem to need to go regularly, and Doble's is on the way. Been dealing at Doble's for over 30 years. Bruce
