I grew up working for Dad. Dad had a backhoe but we did a lot of jobs where it didn't fit. I don't care to think how many yards of dirt I've dug with a shovel and pushed in a wheelbarrow (uphill and down). I can appreciate what you're doing here! Pretty cool
Much dirt moved and roads were built with real horse power there are pictures of my grandfather grading streets of town established 1908 with horses . You have seen land planes and back blades on tractors but they first used with horses not a new concept just adapted for tractor use
I would not have thought that possible but here it is! ( looking for the secret engine🤣🤣) how you get started again, if you have to stop with a full pickup a don’t know. Very interesting video
if stopped with hay still feeding the pickup (we try not to) I rotate the flywheel back to put the plunger forward, this gives the horses a few 'free' steps to get the flywheel moving and hopefully get a good stroke )
That works pretty good on a flat you get on some real good hills and that to Baylor and all that other stuff there and why again and all the weight push them horses all over the place
we like our flat ground here, we used to bale on a steep hill, about 200 yards down is all, the baler holds every thing back as long as you stay in the windrow, used to be concerned I would get out of the windrow or a chain would break, letting the baler freewheel,Only saving grace are those big wheel horse with great verbal whoa
The horses pull the Baler the large wheel on the left as a gear hooked by chains to another shaft with a chain that drives the flywheel that runs the baler the baler is rated to require a 40 hp tractor but the six ladies are able to do it by working hard
We actually work on keeping our windrows uniform and not too big for the Baler We cut with a horse drawn sickle and rake with old style side delivery, doubling windrows only when we have light windrows
@@morningviewfarmclydesdales483 I figured you’d have to be careful on the windrows. I cut and rake with horses as well, but we do round bales with the tractor. After it is baled I pick it up and haul it with horses. Other than an engine on a forecart I haven’t figured a way to do round bales.
That is so cool! Modern machinery is far too expensive nowadays, I'm going to look into getting more horses and see if any of these type of balers and kit are available in the UK, not only fascinating but brings the cost of producing hay down.

No you don't, what you're seeing is pollen and dust stirred up by the baling process . The person stacking bale's on the wagon is hot sweaty and covered in that dust, and this is only half of the job. They still have to unload the wagons and stack the bale's in the barn.
Every baler, no matter if it is round or square creates dust and pollen when it is compacting the bale. There is no engine on the baler, it's just the dust the baler makes by handling the hay.
@@morningviewfarmclydesdales483 no disrespect meant towards your wife, as I've been that sweaty , itchy person myself on more occasions than I care to remember. Living in Amish country I've watched them bale with and without a power unit, and watched them plow with eight and twelve horse hitches before , can't remember how many bottom plows they were pulling that day.
It doesn't, but it does if you price out a tractor, plus the cost of repairs, and fuel. The horses are slower, emit less emissions ( which can be spread on the fields as fertilizer ) and tend to not get stuck in soft ground unlike a tractor. This is the future of farming if certain politicians have their way, the thing they don't realize, or seem to care about is that thru mechanization We have been able to feed the world with our excess crop production, going backwards not only reduces production , it also raises prices.
not sure what 'makes sense' means We don't do it for a political statement, we just enjoy the work, we sell some hay to feed goats and cattle that provide milk and meat, we don't receive any government subsidies, never been on unemployment, we do this on our own land and it has improved , unlike land covered with concrete and black top. thankful we live in a country where we are free to do this, also like to take the canoe on the river and pitch a tent. makes no sense when there are fast bayliners with sleeping quarters , we are content with these endeavors for 33 years of marriage. only put this on you tube because a neighbor filmed it on their camera and said to put it here -oh, I am a house call country veterinarian to answer the next question " how do you make money? not a lot, but enough

Thanks for sharing this video. You are not being robbed by the high gas prices bailing hay in this manner.
we feel blessed to work with these wonderful horses and like to share, visit anytime Northeastern WA
I see a 6 HP engine...🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎
You're not wrong（￣へ￣）
You mean a 60hp engine, those beasts can procuce a whopping 10 ponies each.
Thats 1800 lbs of feet torque, though

Wonderful mechine invention English peoples are so wise
AWESOME LOVE IT

Congratulations espectacular
First ground driven Baler that I have ever seen.
Oh I love that.
Very cool!! Thanks for sharing
you are welcome, your farm has a cool name
Super stuff
Those things are beasts. Hope they got a nice snack after that work
They are on pasture, so they eat most of the time that they aren't working - reality is that they like attention as much as eating
Man I'd grease those zerk fittings before I listened to those squeeks all day
squeaks are pick up teeth rubbing on the stripper - I bend them when they bother me too much and then neglect them again- zerks are greased often
Looks like an old John Deere 348 converted over to ground drive. Surprised it doesn’t scoot on ya!
it is actually a 336 - very similar, just a little older/smaller---?scoot?
Yeah like the wheels lock up under the load
@@JoeGraves24 we filled the tire with calcium and it is on the heavy side of the baler

With way fuel availability and cost may need to turn back time and return to horses alot more

With a wheel drive baler it ain't going nowhere fast even on a hill.
I still don't understand how the baling is done here. Are the horses doing it? How?

How do you manage variable windrow size to get the bales right?

50 foot turn radius?
Question: is the baler driven by it's own wheels?
We added the big bull wheel on the left that drives the baler

thats a nice machine
Thenk you Yes, we enjoy them eventhough I was raised using tractors...but no more
@@gerrytighe5716 We like the the silence as soon as you stop, unlike an engine powered

@@bobbrinkerhoff3592 That sweaty person is my beautiful wife of 33 years, caring, grace filled and tough as nails
If the baler had a motor we could pull it with 2 horses- certainly would not spend the time and significant effort to harness and hook six
