Baling Today

rusty6 · Oct 19, 2019

Wheat testing 17.7 yesterday so I'm waiting and hoping it will get a little drier before winter sets in. So today I tried a few other jobs including making a few square oat bales. Actually it is mostly oat straw since most of the oats are on the ground from the wind and hail storm mid September. The old Massey makes a nice solid bale in this but its first gear all the way on a 21 foot swath. Pickup is not wide enough at times.

What kind of accumulator Is that

I believe it is an Inland stacker. Holds six bales in a triangular shaped stack. Trip rope unloads it when full but I didn't bother hooking it up today as I don't open the rear window on my cabs. So I had to jump out for every stack to trip it. Only did about 80 bales though. Normally use the open JD 2140 but not today.

That wouldn?t be a bad deal for loading by yourself
throw to or 3 stacks on the trailer then crawl up and
stack em

With the big bale trailer I can load all the bales from the ground in 2 layers. Close to 80 bales. Without having to climb up on it.

My beans were 17.5% yeasterday, wind was 20-27 mph but didn?t dry.

Had some hay laying, was too windy to rake it yesterday. Rained .03 this forenoon, dang it.

Raked the hay this afternoon, baled it as the sun was setting. Got too dark to take any pictures. Was just a little more than my bale basket would hold, had to go pick up
a dozen bales with the loader.

Baling hay the last half of October. Crazy. Wish the beans would dry.

Straw was a little tough here too but it baled well and made some good square and solid bales.

Is that a 224 baler? The 228 has a foot wider pickup, comes in handy when you have kids driving the tractor, less opportunity to miss if they get distracted or lost.

They do make a really nice bale in straw. One of the more underappreciated implements out there. MF also built them for Gehl, people are even more afraid of the Gehl versions since they left the AG market.

What about using a door unlock mechanism from a car to make that rope trip an electric?

This one is a 120. Built in Germany I think. Early 1980s probably.

Maybe if I made a lot of square bales but the rope trip is plenty adequate. Takes a good pull to trip it.

Canada or France. Only seen the French built ones in pictures, difference is the shape of the tin.
