Proud of ya sharing these videos about learning how to bale with the new Krone baler. Not many people would show their mistakes and errors. If ya ain't making errors you ain't learning anything. Great videos.
I've been following for a while and really have enjoyed your videos, because I grew up on my Grandfather's farm back in the 1950's and the concepts you deal with haven't changed much. BUT you just blew my mind with your description of a 2000 lb. bale. When I was helping get hay in, I was 10-12 years old and threw bales of hay onto a trailer by hand to be taken to the barn and stored in the loft. Needless to say, much has changed.
glad to hear and see that the Krone big back is working well ,,, looks like the tractor isn't having any trouble with it either , please keep up the great videos ,, i really love watching them I haven't been cutting much hay yet ,, i only have a couple hundred acres this year ,,I've been doing a lot of earth moving repairing terraces which have washed out from 2 very wet rainy springs here in SW Ia
I just finished the 4960 ressurection series great great job 3 generations working the same field, awesome as well. I run a small lawn business and i was daydreaming about bailing some high grass i mowed for an account haha thanks for the videos
constant on off rain here getting old,finally got ground chisel plowed this week.we are a crossed the river from you. So cool seeing the Krone in action! Thanks as always for the great videos Wes.
Excellent and I know the feeling of figuring something like that out. When we bought our first processor there were tons of unknowns because no one here ran one. It costed then $500,000 and we had a pretty good learning curve to get the full potential out of it but it has worked well for us.
We had yesterday forst rains of the spring. You are ahead of us in here Finöand, here the grass is starting to grow better now, early spring was pretty dry and warm and now it should be also abpit 20 - 24 degrees in celsius so planting is strating full steam.
It is always fun to take a "new" piece of machinery out on the maiden voyage; it looks like that Krone is going to be everything you hoped it would be......and the 8120 handles it well!!! " I love it when a plan comes together" , to borrow a quote from an old TV series "The A Team". Happy Haying Wes, keep putting up those vids those of us who don't get to do what you do, we can live vicariously thru your videos!!!!!!! I hope you have a trouble free and prosperous haying season!!!!!!
Kinda dry here in Northwest South Dakota this year so far, might not be much haying going on.......Maybe I'll get some butt time on the Harley, shit; I might ride out and see a real haying operation in New Jersey!!!!!!!!!! (notice how I just invited myself) bwhaaaa....... have a good one Wes and Tim and everyone else there!!!!!!
I hope the krone baler serves you well. Love the videos, I'm a tractor driver in Wales, you should see some of the slopes we have to go down to make silage :)
great videos I'm a recent subscriber and I've watched every video all the way from the beginning to now I get a laugh out of you messing with Tim I grew up on a dairy farm and beef too and I'm trying to get my own farm all my friends say it's to much work I don't see it as that if you love what your doing I want to go into beef and crop farming I just love the life of a farmer
Thanks Wes, after all the build up to the purchase of this baler i was hoping you would make a vid that included the sweaty palms first bale break-in period, it's good to see these moments captured. I hope this baler kicks arse and works faultlessly for you, good luck.
you look pretty happy so far with the baler but there's still a long season ahead.... oh will you be going for a bale record this year??? Thanks for sharing Wes.....
+Kevin Willis -- He would have to go by tonnage sold, since this baler should be making more dense and longer bales. It will be interesting to see the total, for sure!
me and my brother were thinking about making some 120 acre round fields out at the ranch to grow alfalfa for the cattle... not sure if i want to do that tho... would be fun getting back to those childhood roots tho. figure we could do 4 on a section.
Bryan thank you for clarifying what I was asking, I have a hard time seeing that little compressor putting out enough volume to keep the knotters clean.
Man those are some huge bales! I remember loading small 45lb bales by hand as a summer job when I was a teenager. That was straw though. Take some of these kids today and make them put down the phones and make them do that for a summer! No need for a gym or tanning bed for that summer lol!
Timidater That's how it was a farm over from us, those boys were stout! They needed an extra hand for a week and it about killed me! They just laughed.
+Rocky X TV I did that when I was a kid too. Didn't need to go to a gym to work out. Load a thousand 75 lb bales and then stack them in the barn was a good days work. Thought it was fun then. Would kill me now that i'm an old fart.
I see a lot of "Krone" here in Chile. There is a huge German dairy farming and New Zelanders as well that are using the KRONE. Of course they are wrapping everything for their dairy use. I still remember the days working with a small baler having to stop every 50 ft or less to let the baler feed. Man that was a long time ago and hard work. Chao from Chile.
+Glen Koopman I have seen so many Krones in the taranaki and up past Auckland but mainly big round balers with wrappers on the back I have seen some big packs aswell
it sounds like the tractor has more spare power with the krone. it doesn't surge like the Holland behind it. sounds /looks good wes. thanks for the vids.
Damp grass will catch and cling to any small nook or cranny on the machine but it all seems to go a great deal easier with dry product and the paint worn off in all the high friction areas.
most farmers up here make round bales and wrap em up. some make small bales for horse feed, but most oven make round ones out of dry hay. but this is 70 degrees north so not many farm further north anywhere in the world hehe
It looks like you could bail clay with that bailer and make house bricks. I'm pleased that you are happy with it as its a lot of money to invest in machinery.
Take it at the speed you feel comfortable with , until you have what you feel is enough experience . Question if you upped the density on the bales closer to the Krone ideal say 72 . what happens if you then shorten the bale length by a few inches would that bring their weight down ?
I am really impressed with the tractor's torque and the baler ability to eat and swallow, the 7810 will work hard this season to pick-up that bales.EDIT, How does the NH head do on the Case, hope it's smooth operation.
In about two weeks My son and I will be Baling hay for the first time since 1985..... So we will be trying out all new equip....Kuhn mower, Krone tedder, NH rake and JD silage special baler.... All we need is sunshine warm days...Got plenty of piss and vineiger
I looked at one of those last year (2200 RC I think). I am afraid of the single knotter that was on it though. That is a long way to drag twine around a bale right in the middle of a compression stroke.
kroner is makeing an aperance here in australia now my uncle just brought 2 to run with a John deer baler runs rings around all other balers in our dry climate Rekon it's the best thing he's had using fastrac 8310s
The bale wrapper means you don't have be concerned about green damp hay catching fire. In wet climate regions wrappers have their place in the machinery portfolio. Strategic use so you use the wrapper when it is required. If you have space in a shed for good condition used wrapper something like a McHale 998 would do the job, hopefully with a good level of depreciation compared to a new machine.
have seen a video lately of a guy turning up the fuel on his tractor from wat i understood the tractors use exactly the same engines through the powerrage but the lighter hp versions have a smaller radiator if you going to start on hills and stuff it might be wise to keep an eye on the temperature and if it rizes too quickly you might want to inversigate if theres a bigger radiator available for this tractor series
not much of a hill in that second field either Wes 😂 I'd love to see how a Massey or new Holland of the same power would handle that baler, more than likely they'd blow up!
Have you had a problem with your teeth on your rake catching on the brace bar that holds the next wheel? Mine has caught a few times. Not sure if my down pressure is too much? I have a 10 wheel model action rake.
Jan Kotze Jan I knew that you would notice how much easier the Krone baler was on the JD 8120 than the BB340 was,it's running like a well oiled sewing machine now compared to before!
Just wondering about that first bale that you cut the twine off, was it not packed tight enough and can you rebale that hay once it has gone thru the baler once?
I love your channel you make this stuff interesting a year ago i wouldn't have given to farts about a baler but now i can't wait for another video keep it up :)
LOL he is so happy with that Krone that everybody got love.. :P Wait when there is some pickup issue etc. (i hope there won't be) enough love for trolls at least.. :D
I love our baler screen, it has 3 lights, red, yellow, and green, green means its working and baling, yellow means its perfect, and red means its oversized.
that's a beautiful sight watching that badboy in action!! So how does it feel to work a couple hours without messing with that damn header chain??? lol....Right Tim!
Never said it wasn't fair you fellas work hard. It's the creamery that's ripping off the farmer they should pay the hauling!! Plus the rate they charge is not what the driver gets they are scammers from hell.
+onelonleyfarmer Wes, the Australian dairy farmers are getting screwed severely at the moment their price of 55 cents a litre has gone to 15 cents a litre now, it's so severe that this Chloe Scott, 16 has started a petition to the Govt'! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3599964/Dairy-farmer-s-daughter-praises-father-milk-price-petition-goes-viral.html
Have to love that destination hauling charge. I wish I got that. I'd be making the big buck lol. I wish the dues my producers paid the coop actually did something for the farmer

I have 4 McHale baler
+McDonald Tommy I doubt it.
+McDonald Tommy fusions or conventional baler?
It is neat seeing all this new equipment. Having grown up using all the old stuff like a Massey Harris Tractor this stuff is just amazing.

Good to see it working!
ryan i love your channel can you do how to operate haverster
+Farming King I am pretty sure they already did that. :)
I am just fascinated with farming. Thanks for sharing how hard you all work.
I just finished the 4960 ressurection series
great great job
3 generations working the same field, awesome as well.
I run a small lawn business and i was daydreaming about bailing some high grass i mowed for an account haha

Wes I for one wouldn't miss a video that you post. Happy for you that the Krone is working well so far and the tractor has enough power.
Looking very nice Wesley, I hope It gives you a smooth and trouble free year for a change. Keep the tines to the grasses and Best wishes!
Good to see the baler is going well Wes. many happy bales.!
awesome :-) here's to a trouble free hay season all the best from Cornwall in the U.K
We had yesterday forst rains of the spring. You are ahead of us in here Finöand, here the grass is starting to grow better now, early spring was pretty dry and warm and now it should be also abpit 20 - 24 degrees in celsius so planting is strating full steam.
Great job with the video. Nice to the real world usage and learning about it's operation. Damn cool and glad it's working out. Keep up the great vids.
Nice to see the baler working well. Hope it continues. Always enjoy the videos.

Looking Good!
Nice work Wes. You know a man is happy when he is even willing to give a shout out to the trolls! The appreciation goes both ways too.
great videos I'm a recent subscriber and I've watched every video all the way from the beginning to now I get a laugh out of you messing with Tim I grew up on a dairy farm and beef too and I'm trying to get my own farm all my friends say it's to much work I don't see it as that if you love what your doing I want to go into beef and crop farming I just love the life of a farmer
I really enjoy all of your videos Wes. Keep em coming!
I really enjoy all of your video's . Great stuff.
Great video Wes! I look forward to more baling videos from this new baler :)
Boy that really eats the hay awesome machine keep the videos coming.
Nice to see the Krone is working well for you. Like everything experience with the new machine will make it better.
Good job Wes. looks like big boy working fine, keep the videos coming.
Thanks Wes, after all the build up to the purchase of this baler i was hoping you would make a vid that included the sweaty palms first bale break-in period, it's good to see these moments captured. I hope this baler kicks arse and works faultlessly for you, good luck.
Finally in the field and some quality video footage of it aswell, still one of my favorite channels!
should be a great year for baling hay OLF! nice to see it working good for you!
really glad to see the Krone in the field atlast. You make great videos Wes so keep up the good work. Tony, a frustrated farmer wannabe, from england.
glad to see you are not having any huge problems on the maiden voyage of the baler, good luck, hope all goes well and lots of five foot hay.
Good to see a man that calls a spade a spade and keep the video's coming they are all great imho thank you
you look pretty happy so far with the baler but there's still a long season ahead.... oh will you be going for a bale record this year??? Thanks for sharing Wes.....

hi Wes I'm a central NY dairy farmer like your videos the new krone looks awesome
Been waiting to see that thing do some work - you looked relieved at the end :-) so i guess you are a happy bunny.
Wes looks like a great Bailer i hope it works well for you this season best of luck to you and i love the videos thanks for posting them !!
Bryan thank you for clarifying what I was asking, I have a hard time seeing that little compressor putting out enough volume to keep the knotters clean.
+Ben Bruner that's okay, i think the test for the compressor will come later when the hay is dryer and more dusty.
Man those are some huge bales! I remember loading small 45lb bales by hand as a summer job when I was a teenager. That was straw though. Take some of these kids today and make them put down the phones and make them do that for a summer! No need for a gym or tanning bed for that summer lol!
+Rocky X TV --That's why small farming/ranching communities usually had (and a lot still do have) badass football teams! LOL!
+Rocky X TV My neighbor used to bale wire tie alfafla 80-90# bales, he and his boys were stronger than crap!!!!!
greyghostkoga You got that right!
Timidater That's how it was a farm over from us, those boys were stout! They needed an extra hand for a week and it about killed me! They just laughed.

Yeh here in New Zealand lots of dairy farms like round silage bales so all the contractors have Mc Hale fusion balers
+Glen Koopman there is a huge consortium of NZ dairymen her. Manuka. We have good NZ friends here that are dairy people. Jim
Yeh lots of dairy
+Glen Koopman I have seen so many Krones in the taranaki and up past Auckland but mainly big round balers with wrappers on the back I have seen some big packs aswell
+Nz gamingguy yeh here in the deep waikato almost every contractor has one if not two McHale fusion balers
Very nice wes keep them videos coming.
Really entertaining videos you've done, continue the good work !
Glad to see the Krone Baler is working out good for ya Wes .
Great video
Awesome videos! greetings from Sweden!
if I was close I would have bought all those bales you made right now.. and fed them quickly.
Very nice Krone baler working very well, nice bails Wes
it sounds like the tractor has more spare power with the krone. it doesn't surge like the Holland behind it. sounds /looks good wes. thanks for the vids.
Damp grass will catch and cling to any small nook or cranny on the machine but it all seems to go a great deal easier with dry product and the paint worn off in all the high friction areas.

42 bales and you didn't have to fix the pickup chain I bet you don't miss that. Nice to see everything works good
Love the video. Glad it's doing what u want it to do #goodluck
Keep it up, Wes. Learn more in the industry with every upload :)
It looks like you could bail clay with that bailer and make house bricks. I'm pleased that you are happy with it as its a lot of money to invest in machinery.
When is the store going to open! I need a shirt NOW!!
love the channel! fan since the start :D
I hope that this baler will be reliable and that you will use it forever. I keep my fingers crossed for it. Regards!
nice, to see how tractor and baler work well, what hp needs the Krone and what hp gives the JD?
You Can be a Beavis at times But we Love You
Many Blessings , SMR
Take it at the speed you feel comfortable with , until you have what you feel is enough experience .
Question if you upped the density on the bales closer to the Krone ideal say 72 . what happens if you then shorten the bale length by a few inches would that bring their weight down ?
bailing = AWESOME! Great video!
I am really impressed with the tractor's torque and the baler ability to eat and swallow, the 7810 will work hard this season to pick-up that bales.EDIT, How does the NH head do on the Case, hope it's smooth operation.
gonna mow hay tomorrow have to service equipment oil grease. alittle behind had all rain
In about two weeks My son and I will be Baling hay for the first time since 1985..... So we will be trying out all new equip....Kuhn mower, Krone tedder, NH rake and JD silage special baler.... All we need is sunshine warm days...Got plenty of piss and vineiger
Glad to see the Krone is working out for ya!
Hi Wes, looks like the pick up's working well.
I have my own dairy farm. Yet , every day I have to check on what's happening with onelonelyfarmer ! How nuts is that ??
It's a sickness I swear because I do it to.
Is there any claas dealers around? The quadrant seems a popular baler.
I looked at one of those last year (2200 RC I think). I am afraid of the single knotter that was on it though. That is a long way to drag twine around a bale right in the middle of a compression stroke.
good job for new toy !
i didn't realize till you were on top of the baler the knotters are the same on those big balers as the knots on the small square balers
Does the mushroom barn buy molded hay?
kroner is makeing an aperance here in australia now
my uncle just brought 2 to run with a John deer baler
runs rings around all other balers in our dry climate
Rekon it's the best thing he's had
using fastrac 8310s
good video thanks.
Very good, Ireland
Wow those are some heavy bales What do you use to lift them on the truck ,when Tim's not around haha. Do you have to counter weight the tractor?
The bale wrapper means you don't have be concerned about green damp hay catching fire. In wet climate regions wrappers have their place in the machinery portfolio. Strategic use so you use the wrapper when it is required.
If you have space in a shed for good condition used wrapper something like a McHale 998 would do the job, hopefully with a good level of depreciation compared to a new machine.
Congratulations on the "shake-down" run! You're due for a bit of good fortune.....
have seen a video lately of a guy turning up the fuel on his tractor
from wat i understood the tractors use exactly the same engines through the powerrage but the lighter hp versions have a smaller radiator

Looking good wes
not much of a hill in that second field either Wes 😂 I'd love to see how a Massey or new Holland of the same power would handle that baler, more than likely they'd blow up!
I'm guessing you are just a dumb kid? Because an adult wouldn't type something as stupid as that..
even if he is a kid why r u picking on him just f off
Have you had a problem with your teeth on your rake catching on the brace bar that holds the next wheel? Mine has caught a few times. Not sure if my down pressure is too much? I have a 10 wheel model action rake.
krone bailer looks like it works perfectly Wes seems to be a good investment
That thing is beast!!!
Tractor is doing great power wise! I think it's got plenty of ass for that Baler!
Wes, 2141 lbs is 971 Kg which is nearly an Australian ton so the Krone is punching out some damn heavy bales!
+heyhey1956
Hi, I am impressed with the Krone, will be fun to check it the whole season, see you.
Can not argue with that, I am really impressed with the smoothness of the Krone, less strain on the 8120 that is was before with BB340
Jan Kotze Jan I knew that you would notice how much easier the Krone baler was on the JD 8120 than the BB340 was,it's running like a well oiled sewing machine now compared to before!
really happy that you where not remove by alien ! the last video cut so short ! Wish you and all your team only the best !!!
Great video! ;D
does that field have the K31 fescue you can't use the hay as feed anyways?
Just wondering about that first bale that you cut the twine off, was it not packed tight enough and can you rebale that hay once it has gone thru the baler once?
I love your channel you make this stuff interesting a year ago i wouldn't have given to farts about a baler but now i can't wait for another video keep it up :)
Comment on the baler tires! Inquiring minds want to know.
Isaac Hayes says "YEA"
I think he will need to do a few more fields first, but am as intrigued as you. Some of the ground bailed in other videos is pretty rough.
YES MORE AND MORE PLEASE.
LOL he is so happy with that Krone that everybody got love.. :P Wait when there is some pickup issue etc. (i hope there won't be) enough love for trolls at least.. :D
I love our baler screen, it has 3 lights, red, yellow, and green, green means its working and baling, yellow means its perfect, and red means its oversized.
that's a beautiful sight watching that badboy in action!! So how does it feel to work a couple hours without messing with that damn header chain??? lol....Right Tim!
So Wes, I know it's crossed your mind, what are you going to use if the 8120 goes down?
I think milk hauling is pretty fair priced for what we have in equipment and time spent in the seat.
Never said it wasn't fair you fellas work hard. It's the creamery that's ripping off the farmer they should pay the hauling!! Plus the rate they charge is not what the driver gets they are scammers from hell.
+onelonleyfarmer Wes, the Australian dairy farmers are getting screwed severely at the moment their price of 55 cents a litre has gone to 15 cents a litre now, it's so severe that this Chloe Scott, 16 has started a petition to the Govt'! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3599964/Dairy-farmer-s-daughter-praises-father-milk-price-petition-goes-viral.html
+onelonleyfarmer "the rate they charge is not what the driver gets" see a lot of that crap these days.
Have to love that destination hauling charge. I wish I got that. I'd be making the big buck lol. I wish the dues my producers paid the coop actually did something for the farmer
Almost looked like you were in a good mood at the end of the video!
I want to see what that hay looks like after it cures out @35%. no acid either i take it?
Nice to see that big investment paying off.
