We are pushing the power limit of the 5325. To run faster we would need a bigger tractor with more power. The JD dealer suggested a smaller hay conditioner. But the tractor handles it ok at 7 miles an hour.
This is an excellent video. I was surprised you weren't going faster with that haybine. We used to run about 10 mph with ours. We bought a New Holland and I have yet to find a speed it won't handle. With the Deere or New Holland we would mow 5 foot tall orchard grass at 8+mph. It will surprise you what a discbine will handle
HELP our Co-op needs a grower with alfalfa hay &/or mix with other. Some tell me that growers were sitting on their hay waiting for prices to rise. A gas shortage to raise prices won't kill cars and trucks, but growers would do that with hay and put horses at risk?
So, anybody fair minded who cares about these animals out there? we've gor about 25 members who use about two doubles load per month and we need it now.
Good to see you are using newholland. That 273 baler is nearly 40 yrs old. It's amazing how many 1037 bale wagons are in use. Newholland is the leader in hay tools.
@Willow2551 Nah, I'd keep the old New Holland as long as she gets through the field fast enough for you and you aren't having major problems with it. Those old balers are really good machines and if taken care of will outlast you. We used to run an old New Holland 68 when I was a kid and that machine is still in the fields. The majority of the New Holland hay equipment was and still is top notch.
@jayss10 The baler doesn't miss a bale but you do have to run slow or it isn't good at making consistent size bales needed for a good stack in the bale wagon, and it doesn't have a very wide pickup head. But we will keep using it for now.
excellent video, thank you for your hard work. Is the tractor a 5225? Neat that you use one tractor for all three phases of the hay. Looks like it's the loader tractor too! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the comments. The tractor is a 5325. We also have an older 1530 we use but I just used the newer one for the video. Both tractors have loaders, a very useful tool on the farm. My son was the tractor driver for this video project.
That is really good looking hay

We feed all of our horses first cutting hay. All of the second and third cutting is sold. The video is a third cutting which is mostly Alfalfa.

Excellent! I was looking for someone going through the process and showing machinery and how a real farmer collects hay :)

I would rather have a John Deere baler but for now I use a New Holland because thats what I have. It actually works just fine.
