Done Baling

Bobl1958 · Jul 13, 2019

We finished baling some wheat straw today and stacked it in the shed. A couple hundred bales for the winter. I will sell some and use some. Had a good crew and the weather was pretty nice. 91 degrees and a slight breeze. Done with the 336 for the year so it's blown down and put away in a nice dry shed. Should get everything cleaned up and put away tomorrow. What a good feeling. Like everyone else, it was tough getting brome baled with all the rain we had. Not complaining about the rain, would have just liked to have seen a longer window a few times. Bob

Glad you got yours done Bob. That's always a good feeling. I have a long way to go.

What a good feeling to have all you need all done. Looks good. I'm sure you appreciated that canopy overhead on the hot day.

You just like showing off your spiffy tractors.

It really feels good to have haying done!!!

You have a sharp looking Case 870. I have seen very few of them. I never have seen a Case 770 in person. There were quite a few Case 970 and 1070s around here but not many of the smaller ones.

Here is the last pic. Can't seem to get them to load all in the same post. Yes it feels good to have the winters supply in the shed. This year was 62 large rounds of Brome, about 30 large rounds of prairie hay, and the 200 bales of wheat straw.
Knock on wood there were no breakdowns this year. The weather was tough, but the same across the country it appears. Bob

Gosh that is some sweet looking equipment. But for the rims is that original paint on the 870?

Bobl1958 · Jul 13, 2019

The 870 belongs to my neighbor. He always likes to hook it up and pull the 336 while we are baling straw by his place. It is a super nice little tractor. I've had a couple of 970's, but never had the chance for an 870 yet.

Bobl1958 · Jul 13, 2019

The tan has been painted along with the rims.

That brings back some memories of my younger years, back in the 50's when Dad raised oat hay. Stan

That is some level land. Looks like the Red River Valley of the North (ND & MN). But I know it's KS. Nice equipment.

I was discussing the many ways people stack small square bales on a wagon with the guys helping me bale hay. The method pictured here is a new one for me- must be a wide wagon deck to fit three wide with little overhang?

showcrop · Jul 14, 2019

Back in the sixties we were still baling onto the ground. When picking up, the farmer's 9 year old son drove the tractor, and there was a guy on each side putting on the wagon, and from when I was fifteen on I was stacking. The standard load was five full layers of five each then two smaller layers. We were usually on a slope to some degree so every layer had to cross and tie in the layer below. By the time I had stacked three loads on the first day my forearm muscles would be spasming so that I couldn't straighten my elbows.

I've found if I do 2 or 3 pics. at a time, then preview and hit return to forum, I can add as many pictures to a single post as I want.

Nice looking straw, should sell easy. Those 870 tractors were really sweet for their size. Very fuel efficient. Dad bought one new and it was out big tractor til he traded it for a 970.

Tractor driver is dressed in Case Tan and Orange too

Great looking 870!!
Where are you located? I have a identical 870.
I need the plastic covers that go where the bottom
Light is on the fender, one of mine is cracked. If you
know of any for sale please let me know.
Thank you and a great tractor.
