Very impressive mechanical skills. You seem to have an aptitude for succesfully diagnosing and correcting problems. Kind of the Trump of the farming world. Lol. Kudos to your Dad for his influence on your work ethic etc. I'm sure he's proud of you. Tc Mike
Michael Murray I’d agree wes is very skilled at what he does along with it his humble and seems like a nice bloke. I could be wrong but a lot of Wes’s work is self taught and on the job a joy to watch his videos
We used to use tape on the billhook put a little on the bottom and if the sweep arm rubbed it off you had it licked. A sharpie mark that gains a few scratches is solid indicator too. I remember setting those sweeper arms just as you did and customers tell my father or I that we were going to break them and laughing. I enjoyed this series immensely keep up the good work.
back in the 50s on the farm with the case baler that was originally wire tie. when my uncle put the twine tie conversion on it. I was bewildered by the knotter. I was about 10 years old and lots of stuff was bewildering. I studied it and studied it along with my patient uncle. finally the light came on and I understood it. what a clever invention, when its working and a pest when its not.
Hey Wes....I'm a new subscriber....I also bale hay with a new Holland small square baler....really like your videos,its true farming just the way it happens....keep upthe the great videos....I have actually learned quite a bit on the knotter systems....your a pretty smart guy....lol...
Looking forward to see this baler in the field baling hay. You have the ability to repair and modify equipment. You are better than most engineers with a 4 year degree. Good luck with the baler and hopefully you can get back to baling hay soon. Tell William and Teresa I said hi.
What are we going to do when you finish this bailer. Gotten used to these frequent post. Chuckee will have to find someone else to put his daily video up behind
Wes, please be careful out there. My father lost his finger while he was adjusting the knotter. The flywheel was about to stop but the knotter tripped! Can’t be too careful.
Had to take a peek at the Instagram video, looks great in the field. Really enjoy seeing someone that isn’t afraid to fix or build anything. My Dad was built like that, his thoughts always were if someone else can do it so can I! He never cut corners either, always planned on the heavy side to make sure it would take abuse or stress. Awesome work Wes, great series on this baler.
Been fun watching this baler get put back into service. Then today's video about the knotters. I had forgot about them. So you have fun til you start getting good bales. I remember knotters like to screw up when you got hay ready to bale an rain is in the air. Great channel you have sir!!!
G'day, Wes! I agree! Nice testing, we can't wait to see the Hesston 'Big Square Baler' in action, (maybe showing a close up, baling a small or bulky windrow.) Out in the field. Thank you so kindly! Cheers! 😋✌🏼🚜💕
morning Wes, i know your being pretty private about Theresa and the baby, but how is the little guy doing. has he gained any weight, and is Theresa doing good with him.
There is edible twine available. But even poly twine will pass through livestock. Whenever we have hay ground up, we don't even cut the net wrap off, it gets ground up with it. Cows don't know the difference. You should always cut the twine off before you feed it though.
I use round bales tied with twine in my hog barns, there must of been a string got missed pulling it off or a short bit they pulled off first, usually hogs play with it and chew it into balls. one the other day must of ate it before chewing it up, it was running round in the barn with a pull start cord hanging out as it was passing through L.O.L.
looks like you got it fixed , and it sounds pretty good ,, i am eagerly anticipating seeing the big red baler following the big green tractor through the field
Looking good so far! I wondered if it would be prudent to wire the chain hooks on the new bale extension frame so they don't unhook on rough ground and radius the protruding sharp corners on the angle irons and diamond plates?
LMAO!!! Number 3!!!! On our 4900... It's number three too!!! Once in a while #1 will hang on the bill hook, any of them will... But #3 not only hangs, but the second knot doesn't like to hold. Adjust and adjust.... Just can't get enough tail on the second knot. Knife arms, yup... Malleable, but.... When you have a snot nosed kid "mechanic" from the dealership, fresh out of big baler school helping you get everything straightened out and working... And he doesn't believe that you actually do, in fact know way more than he does about Knotters... Dumbass banged a brand new knife arm too much!! I told him it was way too tight!!! Hmm... The stupid old farmer who's worked on Knotters for 40 years... Was RIGHT!!! Busted the new arm, thankfully that's all... But, of course, no one had another in stock.. so.. another day down. That's been a few years ago... No one has touched my Knotters except me since!!!
The right way to test the knotters would have been to take it to the field and bale some hay. Unless you already knew of problems? I'm just saying, that's one thing if it works you dont touch!
It looks like its going to make good bales Wes/Tim,the knoters are knoting and all is well. Now,if the weather would cooperate for about a month so you can run 16 hour shifts baling hay for about the next month to get caught up with it all...sigh,WHAT A MESS!.
Can’t wait to the Heston with some hay going through it, I’m praying for all oil worth (not much according to the wife) for a good couple of weeks of sun PS got my hats, great quality.
I was thinking the same watching the kids in his workshop the other day, I did all that fun stuff when I was younger. I'm 44 and still fix equipment and farm to, I'm paying the price now with aches and pains from doing it then, I'm kinda thinking 55 plus is going to be way worse, maybe I should of listened to all the older guys back then !
super6954 I’m 65, I sometimes hurt places I didn’t even know I had. I don’t get down anymore without knee pads. I still love working on equipment, but especially airplanes.
It's good at 65 you can still do what you love, there are many worse off that can't for various health reasons, and are just waiting to feed the circling vultures sadly !..
So I was over on George Saunders channel and they had same or similar baler eating some healthy windrows and the fun of emptying the bale chamber. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't already thinking of ¿?¿? that will fix that Thanx from the left coast near the Crapitol of California

One of your very best series of videos Wes. This Hesston Mod Series has been fantastic to watch.
I bought my first big square baler case 8590, these videos have helped out tremendously. Thanks wes!

Wes is making that baler great again lol agreed on all points

Can't wait to see the bailer in action after all the hard work you and the boys put into it.
Your knowledge of this equipment is amazing!!
Complimenti grazie al tuo video ho registrato la mia 4800
Nice series Wes, fun watching you fine tune a piece of machinery.

Dont't you love when you run the knife arm over your fingers when trying to get the knotter down, you learn after the first time.
I wanna see this damn thing make an bale already
Instagram videos are up.
You and everybody else out here,problem is it won't stop raining,Wes/Tim are going to need about 3-4 days of sunshine to dry it out.
Cool. Hope it works good. Can’t wait for field test vid
Good stuff Wes... you know your game !!
You got no new videos for us?
morning Wes, i know your being pretty private about Theresa and the baby, but how is the little guy doing. has he gained any weight, and is Theresa doing good with him.
Wes who does all the washing of clothes who eves dose mighty mighty work well done
what happens to the thread when the animals eat it??
he does not feed to animals or sell to farmers who feed it it all goes to mushroom industry other wise the strings get removed before feeding!!
in a day or so it turns into poop.
There is edible twine available. But even poly twine will pass through livestock.
Whenever we have hay ground up, we don't even cut the net wrap off, it gets ground up with it. Cows don't know the difference.
You should always cut the twine off before you feed it though.
@@ruralrider9961 in California straws were the first to go, twine will be next.

You and your family have done a good job on that baler .Have a good day.
I work for an agco dealer. We deal with a lot of hay equipment. Notters on those balers are so nice to work on
Hey Wes you are a wizard on machinery and just about everthing as well
got to love putting in time and hard work to get a machine working properly
Another nice video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
the biggest thing learned here, is to not be a hay farmer :))
Should end up being a great addition to the Krone. Looking forward to seeing them both in use once the weather stops being an issue.
Looking good so far! I wondered if it would be prudent to wire the chain hooks on the new bale extension frame so they don't unhook on rough ground and radius the protruding sharp corners on the angle irons and diamond plates?
Nice testing Wes, can't wait to see the Heston bailer working, right Tim 😎👌👍
LMAO!!! Number 3!!!!
On our 4900... It's number three too!!! Once in a while #1 will hang on the bill hook, any of them will... But #3 not only hangs, but the second knot doesn't like to hold. Adjust and adjust.... Just can't get enough tail on the second knot.

Dumbass banged a brand new knife arm too much!! I told him it was way too tight!!!
Hmm... The stupid old farmer who's worked on Knotters for 40 years... Was RIGHT!!!
Busted the new arm, thankfully that's all... But, of course, no one had another in stock.. so.. another day down.
That's been a few years ago... No one has touched my Knotters except me since!!!
Great video Wes thanks for sharing have a great day
Amazing seeing those work. Wow
Let’s get that thing in the field. Hope all is well with your family
Could you make a video on needle placement and possible adjustment? This was very informative, I have a 4760 that I think may need needle adjustments.
Our cat gets just as excited when you talk about naughters, That's her name, Naughters. Wrong spelling for you, but not for her lol. BACON.
The right way to test the knotters would have been to take it to the field and bale some hay. Unless you already knew of problems? I'm just saying, that's one thing if it works you dont touch!
Let's see the bales
I know it would work just fine if you do great work West Hope Williams doing well
It looks like its going to make good bales Wes/Tim,the knoters are knoting and all is well.
Now,if the weather would cooperate for about a month so you can run 16 hour shifts baling hay for about the next month to get caught up with it all...sigh,WHAT A MESS!.
I got knotted up just watching. Teagards...
Can’t wait to the Heston with some hay going through it, I’m praying for all oil worth (not much according to the wife) for a good couple of weeks of sun
PS got my hats, great quality.
One step closer. It'll be nice to see it running
and we have knots, now lets see if it still knots with hay in it.
Professor wes Pandy way to go.
Hmm knew the first tap.not the second on the side.learn something every day
Tappy, tap, tap.
When you get older you’re going to wish you had invested in knee pads. I have family not far from you and it looks like more rain coming.

¿?¿? that will fix that
Thanx from the left coast near the Crapitol of California
Come on dry weather!
Time to see a bale tied up like old aunt Effie on freaky friday!
Thanks for sharing guys...
Dam auto correct that should read praying for all I’m worth
Mornin Wes
Nothing like a little percussive maintenance.
Rolling with the 49s on the hay ground. Better late than never.
Comment
Not good now good knot.
I thought you were going to spray WD-40 on the knotters and that would cure everything...
