  • The weather has allowed us to get back to putting up alfalfa. I got the rake hooked up to the 7520, greased it, and then started flipping the windrows. Dad then started baling and at the end we had 110 bales off of about 50 acres.
    Thanks for watching!

    Your raker is pretty new buddy....keep it clean and lubricate for long term usage....I saw baling machine caught on fire...bearings were dried, siezed, over heated, started burn the hail then burn the bailing machine belting....wooh the farmer manage to put out the fire quickly it safe his bailing machine w minimum damage.
    Keep a book on each machine what need to be be done, what have done, vibration, tightness, locktight glue are the most common things to carry along. Chain tensions and adjustment...wash re paint...so we can pay back bank loan asap....keep maintaining, less breakdown so less money spend. Sorry If I over loaded you...I used to take care 200 electric lift truck under me so I am very pro maintenance guy😁😁😁😁
    I would make tool box for each of your equipments then store the tools in the box, plus bolts and nuts, lock screws, tiny grease hand pump, hand squeeze oiler can, light bults, touch light, air spray hose with long nose gun, every day after finished operation, just use the hose to dust off and clean it. You got to have PPE to do too.🤣🤣🤣🤣.....tool and parts box will drill on equipment use leather or rags to minimise knocking sound. Order in wheel bearing new one in advance so when wheel bearing sound abnormal...change it on the spot...I feel sad to see radiator fins are choke with hail and dirt then temp went up for nothing, over heated before....then oil seal will started to weaken...oil leak come.....for nothing engine fail so early.....am I right....? You have no time for girl friend already...😁😁😁

    Put a clipboard up where you keep your grease gun and grease. When you put the grease gun back write down what you greased. The grease gun lives some where, give it a friend-clip board, paper and pen. :)

    Hi Cole,
    Very interesting video again.
    Wouldn’t be more handy for you to bail square bales instead of round for handling purpose?
    Do you grow any winter or spring barley or oats to feed your black angus?
    Thanks.

    • @SonneFarms
      @SonneFarms  5 лет назад

      We really like our big round bales and we are set up well to handle them. We have used oats for silage but we dont grow any barley.
