ihatepoundland Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Spent a great afternoon helping out some friends with the hay for their horses, had to arrange some of the bales into flat 8s for the loader and the rest got loaded into horse boxes and pickups to be taken to the barn (about 100m away) where we had to stack it. Inbetween the drinking and loads, had time for a few photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 This may be a strange question How many balers where in the field as there is a round bale in a picture, a conventional baler with old type sledge and the loader is putting up flat 8 Do you put the bales into 8's manually \ or was there another baler with flat 8 sledge somewhere \ Nice pictures though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farmer does his own bales as round bales and wraps them, he had been around the outskirts of our friend's field earlier with the round baler before using the conventional to make the bales for our friend's use, the fields have their own small barn for the horses and keeping their hay in - they knew how many small bales it would take to fill this barn, so tried to bale that many as small ones (about 800 - 900), the rest the farmer uses. Whilst the tractor was baling we loaded straight onto pickups and horseboxes so they could take them to the barn, between their trips back and forth we used the time to arrange flat 8s, so that once the baling was finished the farmer could come back with his loader and trailer to take them across to the barn and then we could load straight off at trailer height, which was a big time saver It is hot work, but at least the field was pretty square and the farmer did his best to group them anyway.

NIGEL FORD Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 New Holland Super Hayliner 68 if I'm not mistaken? We had a couple of these back in the 60s-early 70s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihatepoundland Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 All I know is that it was NH...wouldn't have a clue on the exact model, does look similar to what you describe though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
