I also grew up knowing only small square bales I do remember some really small round bales, they were pretty rare. The setup you guy have here is pretty darned impressive in that you saw a need and figured out how to make it work, very effectively I may add! Great job and very well done!
Very well engineered, the clever thing is to keep it simple, and built on a budget that would not cover the coffee breaks at a lot of places. problem solving at it's best. Thank you for sharing it with us hay makers in the UK.
I've been involved with the square hay baling process ever since I could walk, so this is pretty cool to me. That's an awesome invention! They should be proud of that!

@Javier Ariel I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Depends on the end use of the hay. I sold small square bales to Equine customers who did not have a way to handle anything bigger. Milk and meat goat producers, sheep, exotics all seem to prefer small squares. There is also a unit that will bundle 21 of them and band them together for a bigger shipping unit but still becomes easily handled by the end user. There are commercially built hitches that do the same thing as they are doing here, but they built theirs much cheaper and simpler. Hard to improve on the first way invented to package hay.
Its said at the begining. "High Quality horse hay". The custom baling is a side thing and extra income for the farm. Horse farmers dont want large bales as they usually put them in the racks at the stables. Also easier to transport on the trailer and throw on a side by side or atv to carry around the farm.
Now is that lateral thinking, ... or what ? Yes tha Bridge link hitch:can be a bummer to get right with the use of easily available materials - Have tried something like for a grain drill behind a power harrow ...
Maybe just put one 450 kilo bailer. Easier to collect and store. Even with that collecting wagon. I had for a couple of years 20 kilo bails. The lower compaction takes up to much space, and that wagon only collects them from the field, doesn't help pilling them afterwords or loading a traile for the customer. The best customers where mud/straw houses and at first people with a little petting zoo that don't have a tractor. But off those realized it was harder to store the small ones and wood push the big bales of a trailer and cover with a tarp. But the concept of being able to use to implements behind is nice as nowadays everything is 'time is money'. After saying this i am curious as two what your market is for the small bales as i am sure if you are making them there must be one, at least around where you live.
Its said in the begining. "High qaulity Horse Hay" Horse farmers want nothing to do with larger bales or have to deal eith cutting them. They throw them into trailers, racks, truck beds, ATVs and side by sides. Even saw a few horses/mules carrying their own bales in colder months (snowing) or dry climates (desert) when people ride. They already cut these small bales to fit into trailer feed racks.
@@brandoncaldwell95 thank you, i didn't hear him. Plus i guess where i live whe don't have great open spaces like in the states. Here trail rides are usually only like an hour maximum two. I took a ride in the desert once and was more worried about water. Took the horse to a ground level aquaduct, but we all know how the saying goes.
Moving rows when they are almost dry, especially alfalfa, you lose a lot of feed value, the leaves fall off, also a small square baler only has a certain amount of capacity, large square and round balers are almost unlimited but these small square balers only increase with more balers, I've put hundreds of hours on small square balers, my hours were mostly open cab, through the night, my dad always was adamant on having it a little too dry, then waiting for the evening dew to fall before we started

This just shows you farmers are some of the smartest people on earth god bless you
Yep

@Javier Ariel It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
@Kade Keenan Glad I could help =)
Brilliant! I suppose one of the biggest problems was to get the oil flow just right so that the hydraulic motor turned at 540 rpm.
Keep the videos coming! Especially the older Prairie Farm Report ones!
Nice work guys, smart thinking.
Half the power twice the productivity. Smart thinking. Way to help cut costs without cutting qaulity.
That is pretty cool great ideal with adding a second flywheel
Amazing design work. Nice!
Ingenious system, that.. Very nicely done.......
One man. One tractor!!
A hell of a system.
i am impressed by the build ! But question : why not have just one larger baler and drive farser while baling ?

Horse hay, horse people don't like big bales. Doesn't make sense but that's just the way they are.
Small bales are for "fartin' around" ranchers. "there's two types of farmers and drug dealers: those who do it with forklifts, and those that don't."
Watching in Ireland great idea well made
Really good stuff!
That's very clever, but instead of this, why not just rake up real nice windrows?
Leave it to a farmer, I can't hardly keep one going! But I'm a carpenter!
I still have this on my VCR.
The first version actually from the early 2000's.
Great piece of engineering...
Thats pretty sweet setup
R these available to purchase and use ?
Necessity is the mother of
Invention😏
Excellent idea! Thanks for sharing.
Great ingenuity. I am puzzled that the bales are turned on 'end' . I would think that would allow more rain in if it happened.
They turn them that way for the bale wagon.
They are picked up right away if they are going to be left out they would stouck them like the pyrimids the rain will just roll of them.
Its so they can be picked up by machinery and not break the strings.
I bet that they built it in the winter time in the shop when there wasn’t anything else that they could do.
Boyd W looking after 100 cows, they have lots to do in the winter
Great video
How many or much in euro thanks the machine thanks
Patent that design now
Great job very productive
Very clever man .
Did you patient your design???
One day someone will mount a small square baler on the arms of a front pto system.
Great idea! Blessings.

Pretty slick👍

Horsey Hay is big business and countless bales are shipped to Florida. $8-10 per bale.
@@gordbaker896 $8-$10 is standard bale pricing. You might want to double and sometimes triple that.
@@brandoncaldwell95 Glad my Horsepower is under the hoods! I was quoting U$.
Bravo super construction très ingénieux 👍👍👍👍🙌🙌🙌
Great.
Why don't they just put the rows together four into one like we do

Good old American ingenuity
Canadian bud.
At some point along the way you graduate from muscle bales to forklift bales. . . or you don't.
Jumpin jesus
Nice!
Twon gonna make a round baler version? lol.
@@piperdoug428 lol holy would that be a nightmare to run eh lol
Pretty interesting. I don't know why the hell you would do that though.
Good morning
That’s the problem with you young kids, everything has to be done fast.
Now wait a minute, if your talking about him you're just delusional. Hes smart for doing that.
Cool.
Polak by tam wpadl Ursusem z Z-224 to by go objechal w pojedynkę ;)
Nice 👌😁👌
No doubt genious but I would use a second tractor
Cheaper, and doesn’t require a second driver
We run two tractors mainly because if one baler breaks down we can still keep one making bales
@@GT-fi4sk I'm sure they can unhook the broken baler from this setup and do the same.
Looks like a big headache waiting to happen. Be a total nightmare on hilly ground. Not very practical
You guys should take out a patent on your invention ay? Make a fortune ay?
👍👍👍
