I BOUGHT A $600 HAY BALER...WILL IT BALE??

Good job getting started. A few tips 1. Stop the pto after you tie the bale. 2.. get an owners manual and read it 3.pull out of the row when the bale is the size you want. Start tieing the bale as you go to a spot where you want to drop the bales. ( Or you could back up 25 feet or so from the hay in the wind row) Again stop the pto when finished tieing. Then dump the bale. 4. Pull away from the bale before you lower the tailgate.( Don't want to bend the tailgate or break something) Then restart the pto. Best of luck to you, looks like a good buy. Made some nice looking bales.

His method of thinking repairs out is spot on when working on old farm equipment. Don’t give up on it and keep fixing and replacing worn items and it will work very well!!!

Awsome to see a young family using older equipment to start farming. I used to have the exact same baler years ago. Oh by the way i like your banner in your shop. I just subscribed

Well done. If you’ll back up 15-20 feet while you’re tying off your bale, it’ll give you more time and space to get your gate back shut before it starts picking up hay. Later balers can come with kickers to eliminate having to back up. You did a outstanding job, nice bales. Also, you need to buy yourself a spray can of motor cycle chain lube to keep your chains oiled up. Awesome purchase! Blessings!!

Love the video. You have heart and passion in what you do young man. Keep working on that old girl you will eventually get her working like she should. God Bless and love your Trump sign "Go Blondie get us back where we were".

It takes about 2 years of running a machine to get the bugs out. Get ahold of the owners manual it has all you need to make the adjustments. Take your time with the old equipment and you will do fine. You have a new subscriber! Keep Smilin!!!!

Dont make the bales to tight, is not worth it, you are gonna make the baler give up on chains and bearings, make it a at 100-120 bars, I don't know in what it measure to you, but when you push it that hard is gonna break, trust me :), greetings from a guy in romania, who learned by himself to bale :)

I had one of those, my god what a painful experience. It was a disaster stopped more times than going. Bearings belts chains, just constant trouble. Finally one afternoon it went on fire (from yet another bearing) I hitched it off and let it go. I replace it with a welger 4x4 Rp 12 never looked back still have a welger although a new one.

Need to Tedder the hay before raking so it can dry out and get the moisture that builds up underneath during the night before baling

Love your channel,,! My husband has always bought cheap and repaired!!!45 years ! He probably could give you some pointers,,,keep on !!!! Gonna keep watching!!

Cool to see this. I wish I had been able to start my farming adventure when I was you age. And yes, I’m just starting out with this YouTube stuff just showing all the projects around the from from gardening to log splitting. Keep up the good work. A proud subscriber.

Austin, great that right when you started and hit a piece of wire, that it was not bad enough to have to have to spend the time to repair it all, and could get to cutting the hay ! WOOOO WHOOO. Amazing that you know so much about this equiptment , whats wrong with it and how to repair it. LOVE THE BANNER IN THE SHOP🙂JUST SAYING. Very Pretty Horses. Look forward to more videos from you and the family.

Awesome place sweet deal on the bailer and love the banner

I stopped watching when I saw he was wearing crocks on his feet. Call me old fashioned but if you are going to farm, you're going to need your feet.

I have two old 1500 gel balers with hydraulic tie and used them a LOT. That was 1980 technology . Nothing like a nice NEW baler But it is fun to play with that old stuff.

Thank you forsharing this video..God bless

Just found your channel. You are doing great. Keep making more videos.

We got an 1860 and it only cost us 500.00 but we had to build our own electrical box, we’ve had almost no problems. These balers work great for the price that’s for sure!

Just found your Videos and I Subscribed Don't Get discouraged. Once you get All The Bug's Worked Out For What Your Starting With Things Will Be Alot Better Remember To Grease Everything That Has A Grease Fitting On It Any Questions Don't Be Afraid To Ask For Help Can't Learn If You Don't Ask in The Comments I Saw A Fellow Said He Owned A Baler Like The One Your Using. I Would Slow Down A Little Until Your Sure Things Are Working Good Best Of Luck Things Will Work Out Love The Poster On The Shop Wall. Blessings And Please Be Safe ✌️

I bought a 1470 gehl baler at auction for 650. Makes a real nice bale. It was missing bale monitor. I have a harbor freight remote control winch on my tractor so I plugged baler tie wiring harness into winch harness and use the remote control to activate the twine tie
