Baling By the Sea - John Deere action!

Following the combining that had to be aborted, the baler sets in, and he is not hanging about, either. John Deere 6810 tractor and McHale baler (do they use JD paint?) and for a bonus, a JD 6600 standing about waiting for some work.

And it's still raining, here, on and off. Glad it's not my crop.

Nice video but awful baling. Way to fast and the bales are not being formed evenly. That will be dangerous when they are stacked and tey will eb light with very litle straw in them. He is throughing money away doing it like that.

Did cross my mind that it was very fast. I wondered whether it would be better to go slower and row up two rows into one? Weight of the bales I know nothing about (small bales in my day).

Well the fact is that he is not giving the baler enough time to make a decent bale.

Well, I hate to be controversial, but I leaned on a bale to steady the camera, and it was very firm to the touch. Very green, too, which may explain?

Yes but again, you are a man that ways no more than 25 stone. I mean a bale at the bottom holding 9 ton of bales ontop of them.

[balmesh]

I don't doubt it, but some bales are so soggy you can feel your hand sink in! BTW - 11 stone!

Really? Well some people dont mind about moisture. Personaly we do, we were baling in february! And I went high just incase!
