Hay Making on a Different Scale

[LHF2019]

Curious as to what make of round baler and if it's a NH, I have the adapter as well as the liquid filled gage to check the bailing pressure if you want it, I can send it to you. When I traded the NH for the Kubota, the gage and adapter stayed here. Let me know and you can have it as I have no use for it anymore. The Kubota has the built into the running gear, both the gage as well as the electronic servo to control the pressure. Again, you have my physical address and phone number. Just taking up room in the tool chest now. I believe I also have the pertinent instructions for setting the tension cylinder as well. Never had to but was prepared anyway.

If I remember correctly, the NH had one cylinder whereas the Kubota has 2, one on each side of the bale chamber completely under the side shrouds, never to be seen, unlike the NH.

JD baler. Already have pressure gauge plumbed in as JD doesn't come with one and know way to know what is going on otherwise.

Video my son made of my baler running properly to help out on another forum

Have you attempted to make a bale with baler hyd hoses disconnected from tractor breakaway couplers?

On the Kubota it's conveniently mounted on the top of the front shroud, just above front hinged door where the net resides and it's quite large as well so easy to see from the operators seat. I actually added a suction cup rearview mirror so I don't have to look back to see it.

If anyone wants the NH gage and adapter, let me know as it's just taking up space in the drawer and I'll never use it.

5.5 hours and 105 round bales gone.

Interesting you load 'eye to the sky' not something I do, I always load 'eye to the side' on my customer's flat bed trailers. If I store them in the barn however, it's always 'eye to the sky' simply because I can stack them better and they keep their round shape and don't get oval from rounds on top of them.

I presume you are rolling 5 x 5's and not 4 x 5's. Only reason why I can see loading like that or you have a bale grapper...

Rained here again, almost all day. Strange weather this year. Very hot and humid and rain almost every day. Reminds me of Georgia, not Southeastern Michigan.

4x4's and their method of hauling. This customer is one of our best ones. Almost 300 rounds. Yes have a grapple but to slow. Bale spear.

I always store vertically but I use my skid forks to stack them.

Tensioning system went somewhere. Working on troubleshooting in free time. The easiest fix did not work. Replacing the pressure relief valve. Just narrowed down where to look next. Leaning toward the belt tension cylinder. Ran some tests and waiting on what to do next. Then just need time to fix. Ordered tech manual. It was time. Blowing hydraulic oil points to an issue. Several components just a process to troubleshoot.

You borrow a Krone round baler?

Neighbor baled for me. Had his tractor and baler not been sitting in the barn next to the field might not have gotten so lucky. We would have done squares instead but would have been a long day. I had already contacted are largest customer and they were unavailable and it was Sunday so no Amish hauling. Wagons full and figured about 1000 bales worth.

Has most of your stuff been rained on? Most of mine has.
Won’t stop raining.
