Slinging bales

Thats funny.

He needs to turn down the kickers pressure. Other option is to build a taller bangboard

Grandma can follow him,,with the truck and bale loader!

I am cracking up! Way too funny. Probably should not laugh but I can't help it.

Belt speed would change it, pressure has little effect on bale distance unless it's so low it doesn't squeeze the bale

We went over there and he was making 20 pound bales. About 2 ft long. Terrible loose. Trying to bale with hitch in transport position. Drive shaft fell off front of flywheel. Then broke a u joint. We tried to help him get it adjusted......... He had cut all 40 acres, it's got 5" of rain on it now......

grandpa Love · Oct 10, 2020

He didn't think it could be adjusted? He has a manual......

he also needs a few of this type wagons to catch the bales. I had a great second cutting on this field one year, that I didn't need to chop because the grass bunk was already full from first cutting. So I baled it. Had to borrow extra wagons from my brother and some from next door neighbor to get it all on wheels.

I'm guessing this is the fellow that went to PA to get the baler to go into big time hay making? He has quite a learning curve ahead.

ay feeding in looks terribly thin....probable windrow problem, too.

Grandpas got the job back!

Now THAT's Funny!

It looks to me like it wasn't raked, Like he was just driving along picking it up as the tedder left it. My thrower will very easily throw the bales far enough to go to the back of a second wagon behind the first. Someone once told me that they are designed to do just that for those who have long open ground.

grandpa Love · Oct 11, 2020

TF. That's the guy. We offered to help him on Wed. Knew the hurricane was coming. He didn't take us up on the offer

grandpa Love · Oct 11, 2020

Show crop, it was raked. Just really thin
grass. Sure didn't need cutting. Needed
to rake 5-6 windrows together.

And probably get some bargain hay equipment(LOL)Reminds me of a retired Federal Gov't fellow that moved in my area years ago and was going into to cattle farming.Bought a herd of way over priced cows at the top of the market back in 1973 I believer it was,prices dropped like a rock that Fall he was tired of loosing money after about 3 years.We bought his cattle for about 1/4 what he paid and we rented his farm.Nice guy just had no idea what he was getting
into.

Someone like that shouldn't be on equipment, and will get someone hurt, no common sense at all.
