    To celebrate 50 years of Vermeer round balers, we asked ourselves… could we bale 50 bales in 50 minutes in the same field the first bale was rolled 50 years ago? President and CEO, and third-generation Vermeer family member, Jason Andringa, accepted the challenge and the race was on. See how he did!

    Loved the show. Reminds me of the Vermeer 50th year anniversary celebration I attended in Pella, IA. Gary Vermeer told the story of the round bailer. Originally they had trouble getting the hay to start rolling the bail which they overcame by dropping a fence post into the bailer. The hay would roll itself around the post. Gary said when springtime came and the snow melted there were fenceposts laying all around the field they fed the cows in.

  • @davidlogel2350
    @davidlogel2350 3 года назад +9

    1: Vermeer did not invent the round baler. There were others including Allis Chalmers roto baler well before Vermeer ever produced a baler.
    2: Your bales are not full size 6 foot bales, anyone who’s baled a decent amount of hay can see that from the video.
    3: Many other manufacturers have been able to accomplish 60 full size 5x6 hard core bales in 60 minutes with tractor and baler combinations that still cost less than your sp model.

    I don’t understand the need for this, what would be the point? You still need a tractor to mow, ted and rake. If the baler could be removed and the others attached this could be a tractor replacer...maybe. I understand the short turning radius, I have that on my Deere disc mower but if I still have to own tractors why buy this when all I need is a baler?

    • @steinwaymodelb
      @steinwaymodelb 3 года назад +4

      It's designed for operations that are large enough to have dedicated equipment for each stage of the operation - just like self-propelled swathers make sense for some situations, a self-propelled baler has its application. If you have mowing and baling happening at the same time in different fields, you obviously can't share a power unit between them and you may also not want to be switching implements every day - you might want the baler and the mower always ready to go.

On large acreage speed is key…I’m now running 4 x Massey 4160 round balers for customers I sell 4x5’s to but I’m predominantly a lg square producer. The MF 4160 is the same as the Vermeer 504 Pro. The Pro balers (made by Lely) brought Vermeer back from the dead in hay baler technology and reliability. The 4160 is the nicest, most reliable round baler I’ve owned and at $52k can’t be beat. The baler on the ZR5 is no nicer…and probably uses Lely technology. Other balers I like and have demoed are the Pottinger 155 V Pro that costs $84k and Deere V451R which is a 4160 clone for $100k.

      I had a Krone VP1500MC and in 2010 I was consistently pushing 58 Five foot round bales of Oaten hay out of her in an hour.
      They were like bricks too none of those light bales some guys make.
      Would of cracked 60 an hour but I just pushed a little too hard and blocked the pick up everytime I tried.
      Also running 3.5 laps of net when binding. Anything less they would just burst the net when the chamber pressure came off the bale.
      What model of Krone set that record and what size were the bales?
      I switched from Krone to McHale and never looked back, however the new Krones look like they could be a pretty good baler!

      AC purchased the small round baler from Nebraska farmer Ummo F. Luebben who developed the round baler in 1910. I have asked why Allis did not see the need to develop the large round baler. Nevertheless, Vermeer did and revolutionized haymaking!

    The round baler preceded 50 years ago. My grandpa had an AC round baler that I think came from the 40s. I think Vermeer expanded the bale over previous round bales, but it’s not accurate to say Vermeer “invented” the round baler.

    Back around 1972 an old man said to me that he'd see a field by my house baled with a " machine that made round bales" just after the war. Which came from Germany. Now that's going to be far more than 50 years ago.

      Yep. Allis-Chalmers was building round balers in 1947, and had produced nearly 70,000 units by the time they ceased production in 1960, 12 years before Vermeer "invented" it. Although A-C produced it in 1947, the round baler had originally been conceived around 1910 by a fellow named Ummo Luebben.
