    I like the “ welcome back to the farm” instead of “welcome back to the channel”, and as always need the “ let’s go” in every video! Keep up the great work Kip!

    That collapsible V rake is the best thing ever invented. Easy to transport, open it, drop it and rake just by moving a couple handles. Thanks to hydraulics it makes life slick.👍

    Kip, that will be nice feed.
    A little cheat tip. Push a unwrapped hay or straw bales thru the wrapper at the start and end of the row to keep really nice pressure on the wrapped bales. It will prevent tearing as well as having to wrap bales that don't need it.
    I've never had real good success with trying to use the ram at the end row.

    Hi from land of oz. I did contracting for over 35 years. Some tips. You can buy end caps for the rows or make your own from builders plastic sheet and twine. I went from tube wrapper to combination baler wrapper and doubled my output per day. Best I ever did was 350 bale and wrap by myself in 16 hours on 3 farms. Stopped using finger wheel rakes 15 years ago. Use double rotary rake since. It’s so good you will never go back to those rakes

    G’job Kip, cattle look a little disappointed you’re wrapping those bales instead of feeding them one😁y’all keep em comin, great stuff and like I’ve always said, your enthusiasm for farming and life in general is second to none 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    When we used to wrap bales we would use a single plastic bale bag for the first and last bale in the line to completely seal the row up. I think we used a couple of pieces of tape to hold the wrap against the plastic, turned it by hand to make sure it started ok, and then continued with puting bales on the machine.

    I've never seen a wrapper before, that was interesting watching it wrap, stop and start up again. I don't think Uncle C had one of those wrappers. Enjoy your 70 degree weather, we had a ground cover of snow last Friday. It was gone by mid-morning, thank goodness.

    Thanks for another great video Kip.
    It was interesting and enjoyable.
    Busy work cutting and window and bailed and wrapping. You got it ready for the cows.
    Thanks for the drone footage. The drone footage is so enjoyable. Gives you good idea of operation. Thanks.
    In the milking polar helping out. Busy time.
    You take care and be safe.
    Looking forward to the next video.
    Thanks for everything Kip.

    Just as an option if you ever go to wrap silage in the future try putting straw bales at the end of the rows to prevent oxygen from getting in or maybe a sheat of plastic

    Kip . We do the same thing bale and wrap . I noticed u put on close to maybe 4 layers of plastic. We did the same amount last yr and our quality wasn't the best this yr we put on 8 wraps and it looks better less moldy feed . Cows love it

    The Dankin Dairy lost over 250 cows in the hurricane. It is a large dairy near Sarasota, Fl. They are giving hay and feed to people with animals that lost their hay and feed due to flooding in the hurricane

  • @karlherzog3979
    @karlherzog3979 2 года назад

    Baleage makes really awesome feed. We went away from it cuz it’s hard on tmr mixers and takes a lot of time to mix if it isn’t cut up. Other than that it’s fantastic.

    @e.a.bfarms 2 года назад

    It sure is nice how many more leaves you can keep on the alfalfa baling it wet. Kind of made a mess at the end pulling it off. Are you going to just start feeding then or let them go bad?

      Jim the hay ferments just like haylage and corn silage. So long as the plastic doesn't end up with holes in it.
