    I loved the Allis Chalmers and New Holland haybine with the older gentleman’s cane hanging from the handrail. That reminds me of the equipment I worked with when I was a kid. Mowing hay was always my favorite job. It also put me in mind of all my relatives who spent their lives on tractors doing that work...I really miss them.

    That Claas at the end is something else , I cut a little hay with a 13’ hydraulic swing MoCo and thought that was pretty slick compared to to old fixed neck machine they had before but a self propelled MoCo that can lay 45’ plus down is crazy to think about, I would really love to see how that machine handle more challenging, undulating terrain though:) Another thing that came to me I would hate to imagine how expensive a rookie mistake gets when you get into iron that size

    My fave is #02 @14:14 - the H9870 Stack Cruiser.
    The reason it's my favourite is the mechanics of it's operations.
    But also I am intrigued as to why it collects only 161 bales and not 162 (18*9=162). It seems as each level has 6 rows of 3 bales = 18 bales. But one of the levels has only 17 bales and I have been trying to find out why that is? I think someone told me it was the 7th layer (third from the last) that has only 17 bales, but no one has been able to tell me why that is. If YOU can tell me I will give you a thumbs up lol!

    Enjoy this comment.. i wonder if those machines would make a snow blower. Change head and use all that power to operate a snow blower. Just a thought

      It would clear an air port run way as a 45ft snow blower in a hurry.

    I have a question: what is the difference between a merger and a rake? This channel is the first I have seen a merger. What and why are they used?

    • @bigtractorpower
      @bigtractorpower  4 года назад +1

      That is a good question and one I will make a video on. A merger is mainly for putting several windrows of freshly cut alfalfa into a larger windrow ahead of a Forage Harvester. A rake is used to collect grass or alfalfa about a day after it has been cut. The rake like the merger collects a few windrows but this material will be baled instead of chopped. A rake is for dry baled hay and a merger is for fresh cut hay going into silage. That said a rake can merge for a chopper and a merger can collect dry hay but it’s not often.

    Just an old farm kid here, getting back into haying. I enjoy seeing all the different methods used and dreaming of the possibilities. I'm currently operating a 9' NH haybine, a JD side delivery rake, and a NH small "idiot" square baler with a man on the wagon (the idiot--usually me), all pulled by a White 2-105. Just 12.5 acres of alfalfa now, hoping to bump that up to 100 acres by 2024. Lots of scaling to do by then!
    Thanks for your videos!
