Better good quality haylage wrapped in the bale than mouldy hay in wet rows in the field. :)
Good man Phil it was better wrapping it should make lovely haylage. There was a time when you needed at least 4 or 5 good days of serious sun and high temperatures to get hay. Now it seems ok for it to get a shower of rain and then try and dry it. Lot of fellas nowadays haven’t a clue about hay. A lot of hay baled last week and can’t see how any of it was fit it was no weather for hay. A lot of it will be heating up this week
Well said, people are just willing it to be hay!
Got to have patience for hay
Exactly. Id 18 acres down. Cut Monday 10th june. Just couldn't get it. We'd unexpected rainlast Tuesday 18th june. Was windy on the Wednesday, so just got it wrapped up. As someone said, better wrapped than heating unwrapped
Haven't made hay in about 6 years just not worth the time and effort trying to judge the weather and running tractors for shaking it out and rowing it up in the end not to even get hay so if we come across good enough hay we just buy in what we need for the year along with straw so much easier but still would love to get back to doing our own I used to love doing hay
Hi phill, aren't we lucky to have a haylage option now a days i rember "hay"been shoved into the hedge and off on the beer for the week 😀
Jayus hay is hard save I baled hay for customers years ago in round bales came back home and baled uncles hay that I taught was perfect and he lost d head ! Can't win with hay
Hard luck with the hay - you weren't the only one. Thats a great baler - at least you'd always know that it was fit for hay.
Better good in the bag than bad in the shed
Phil take a break brother ! Your a good kind soul has we say in Cornwall! Look after yourself !
Hi Phil, thanks for taking the time for making the videos, when under time pressure. I dont know how you constantly deal with cattle breaking out, and you need to change that baler.
It’s a tough year but you still have quality feed better than hay and it on fire
Big square is grand for straw... hay i think it bales it to tight in the big squares and needs to be bone dry...
Trunk bale handlers have been cool for the last few years mainly because of JMAgri ones on the market. We have been using that type since Tanco sold us one in 1989 and people laughed at it for the first 25 years we used it for. It’s still moving 4000. Square haylage bales a year
Weather is really frustrating this year. I've wanted to make 40 acres of hay, and so far only managed to make 76 acres of haylage.
Phil you should of organised another demo of a bigger massey and loader for the week 😂😂😂
you need a baler to do both silage and hay! no point in having a baler sitting there not doing anything.
Glad you got your hay baled up, perhaps not the shape you wanted but at least they’re not taking up shed space.😉.
I got 30 odd acres big square baled last Monday and my contractor came with a brand new Ferguson baler, I asked him it it had a moisture meter on it, he said no, as he’d get nothing baled up it he knew.😂😂
In the old days when the weather turned while trying to save hay we hadn't the option of the round bale or haylage and this was felt by many trying to make hay in the bad summer of 1985.. Cutting hay before the time of the round balers was a pure gamble and something that only the older generation will understand fully how much pressure was on the decision to cut it down....
true .......lots of feed was lost in the years of 85 and 86 ......my late father used to say the day you cut dictates the day you bale .......
Spot on facts there. That’s when real men were farming
Can remember '85 like last year. I was 16 and sent to turn the hay with a DB996 and PZ haybob. If the rain didn't come on during the turning, it was on before nightfall. Also, I had to hold my finger over the hosepipe to wash the mud and worms of the haybob and mudguards of tractor. Absolute nightmare. Round balers started in '86 with twine and bags sleeved over the bale and tied. We've come a long way in 40 years, tho my late father used to say that 40 years ago too. He was used to working with the horse.
@@samuelrobinson9012 yes your correct and anyone who lived through that year will never forget it and especially as 84 was one of the best summers we had along with 76 and 95 as years that we never needed to fear the rain.... Samuel you won't forget what happened in 85 as I won't either.... There was some sale on 4wd tractors in 86....
I was brought up on a farm. I can still smell the hay when we were harvesting it. Good luck, Farmer Phil.
Alot of hay around the country was baled not fit.. if in doubt wrap 😊
Good that the idiot driver didnt damage anything. With the weather your right if they dont put out warnings then a storm comes thru and wrecks stuff people scream why didnt you tell us
Hi.phil..i.was.waiting..bigtime.since.ur.last.vid.to.see..ur.luck..with.making.hay.igot.sò.much.pleasure.from.ur.magic..succesful.vid.from.ur100,.àcers.of..off.hay.when.ur.uncle.phil.was.with.us..ps.ireally.enjoyed.the.story.about.the.stupid.driver
Phil I think you sum up the feeling of every farmer in the country this year @shit weather
Not only in Ireland, the Netherlands is shit too. Balers, silagewagons and even choppers that got stuck. They only finished planting maïze 2weeks ago.. still 1st cut in some fields. We got it yesterday. 3weeks late
Tough call a few more dry hours would have done it, typical Irish weather
Cowboys 🤠 😁😁😁! B-jesus..Clint eastwood
Wouldn't go about making hay this
Year 😁😁😁🤣
I thought it would be more haylige not a year for hay this time have to sell that square baler and buy another fusion instead
I saw a small baler in action today and the dust rising from it,
Big Tom Country 🤠
Worcester driver I run in tipperary are curie driver. I had a run in with2. In 2015 I was bring home cattle for housing for winter a driver try pass me on narrow bit road with sharp bend in front of me and a northern ran in to my last August and rote of my jeep
Hi Phil, It's too bad the weather didn't hold up for you well that's Irish weather for you
Love this video, because it reminds me of haying when I was a youngster, I felt your frustration. But life goes on, in the life of a farmer. When you were driving down the road, and I saw that stone wall, brought back fond memories of driving in Ireland, visiting from the USA. Scary as hell, but when you handed in the car rental unscratched, it was a sign of accomplishment and adventure that was unbeatable.😊 I don't know how you video this so clear and we'll and still get the job of a farmer done.👍👍
We bought a TR 4 trunk stacker for our Jcb 414 last year and it’s a great tool
I feel ur pain. At least ur not getting stuck and taking 4 hours to get out having to take baler off and alland we only stone's throw away from u in leitrim 😢
Weather forecasters give you a percentage chance of rain, and that way they are able to never take responsibility for being wrong. If they say there's a 5% chance and it rains they were right, if they say there's a 90% chance of rain and it doesn't then they were still right.
I have a Heston / massy furgson baler and if the hay is to dry it want bale it and if it’s to damp it want bale it I hate the thang lol
Phil you want to try driving a truck around Dublin lol
Your not alone last week was nightmare to make hay we haylaged half the hay great for stress 😂
I feel your pain trying to make hay in a short space of time...
Great video. Nice display of classic machines carrying out thier duty. Looks like a nice clean crop.
We were always told with our 185 series 2 to run it at 1000 at least or the knotters won’t work right
What percentage it need be for hay in big bales
Good days work Phil, nice when things work out. See you in the next one.
Is that the 6270 you traded in for the 6499
Looks like your baler needs a new home .
I feel your pain
Bad be with da days when haylage wasn’t an option
You should get the airhorn that sounds like shots fired 😂😂
thought you would have got some, ended up being 4 days was good, i felt like we missed the chance... hoping in a couple of weeks we will get another chance 🤞🏻
hard to get hay if u had spread pig slurry on the ground....... u would need very good weather and at least 8 days of it ........
yeah let it grow itself and cut for hay no slurry or fertiliser. Tis already half dry when you cut it
I was hit by a car 2 years ago turning in a gate with no trailer while driving the tractor as a car tried to pass. The car insurance company took my insurance company to court in April and we lost. I think we lost because the judge knew we had nothing to lose and the car owner got his no claim bonus restored having claimed from his own company for the loss of the car. So my insurance company had to pay the other company for the car loss and the day in court expenses of barristers and solicitors.
That is ridiculous
Was it a solid white line or a broken line if broken line then the car is entitled to overtake and if the car is on the other side of the road before you than the car has right of way the tractor crossing the road should look behind before crossing
@@FARMERPHIL3690An understatement. I'd be calling the judge every name under the sun. Maybe worth getting dash cams installed as a precaution, especially if Troy is to take his test/be out on the road.
@@John-hz9mf The road is a small road with no lines. I was part way through turning as he tried to pass me I stopped as if I had continued turning he could have hit the side of the tractor instead the middle of his car hit the right rear wheel from behind
Want 8 layers plastic for halage
But did it rain the next day ? 😂
That is the beauty of a big square baler..when I used to drive one years ago we had one customer that was 25 miles away from our base..would start the day baling silage then switch to straw and hay,once the dew fell and the moisture came up on the hay we’d shorten the bales and wrap them for haylage…get a good days baling that way.
What wrapper did you use on square bales years ago? And how would a farmer be working hay straw and silage in one day? As bullshit goes..thats pretty far out there
You nearly had the car on the flat bed then
What happening to the weather these days ?????
Trying Tobale Hay In Thjs Weasthef Mental
How much are them bales selling for these days
around here from 35 to 40 for silage ........might drop a bit if 2nd cuts are good .........good hay 40 a bale
Mirror guard is loose
You need ah newholland bailer😉
🙏🙏🙏 please please please can you invest in a microphone 🙏🙏🙏 half the time I can hear you then I have to turn my volume up because I can't hear you 🙄 then you turn your head away from the filming and can't hear anything 🥴
is the 1200 ready for on the pull
Good stuff
Your a great man phil
There’s alwa a next cut mate 👏👏 why does everyone store their bales on the round? Theres way more plastic on flat side to protect it?
I've heard rain can get into them on the flat while round it runs off? No idea how true it is though
Iv tried storing them every way. Makes no odds to them, so we've stacked them 4 high for many years now on the round
@@samuelrobinson9012 of course you have effluent storage to be stacking 4 high don't you 😊
@@kieranosullivan02 Indeed we have. All stored on concrete and channelled straight into 12 foot slurry tank.😇
@@samuelrobinson9012 ah yep. Every one here does it on the flat, bales seem to hold up better. I just do a single layer on the ground with none touching.
Better luck next time Phil.
Fuck it u brave 2 try
Happy Sunday evening Farmer Phil and all.To the best farmers in the world 🌍.You work so so bloody hard.Great video.
Well Philip you've done the best that could've be done, well done
Hi.phiĺ.whats.the.going.rate.for.haylage
You’re so right about weather forecasters. Must be nice gettin paid when your wrong almost half the time 😁
spiking wrapped bales ? 🤔??
It's good hay,just not square hay😅
So sad, best next time for good wheather and hay
How much a bale is hayledgethis year
Are you baling hay in the morning?
Just not a hay year, better in the wrap
You really need to use the body mic. Can't hear you half the time.
I keep trying to use mics but they keep breaking
@@FARMERPHIL3690 I'm sorry. I get it. Keep trying. Love your vids. My best to Liv.
Big baler having a problem is aggravating. Massey Ferguson looks good 👍
Phill we have a Massey baker and she will baler green grass for sliage ur bales a heap of shit 😂😂
That’s the Irish weather. Unpredictable Phil
If I was you I'd get rid of that big baller
Great video Phil. Enjoyed watching. 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi farmer Phil that was great work with your Hayes today it was a great job farmer Phil 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Trunk bale handlers have been cool for the last few years mainly because of JMAgri ones on the market. We have been using that type since Tanco sold us one in 1989 and people laughed at it for the first 25 years we used it for. It’s still moving 4000. Square haylage bales a year
Good luck with all the upcoming jobs on the farm & all the best 👍👍👍
Scully is a kerry company great manufacturer of farm machinery trailers everything u need great video lad
Great video. The weather is frustrating to say the least… who’d want to be a weather forecaster in fairness, albeit it’s doesn’t make the farmer/contractor’s life any easier when the reality doesn’t match the forecast. Great to be able to borrow a loader tractor when you need one… FairPlay to the owner. Keep up the good work.
Congrats 👏 on 86k
Why does the knotters not work when its damp
Knotters won’t work when damp possibly because the extra moisture causes pressure to burst the knots or damp crop can stick to the needles and get carried into the knotter upsetting the knots
💪💪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍👍🙏🙏👏👏
That what ya get for nit servicing your machinery in the months of October November it so frustrating even to watch
How would servicing fix wet grass ?
Good to meet farmer Phil today at Streete.vintage show
