  • It's amazing!!!! I still haven`t seen a mobile cuber like this. Why did the JD stop to produce these cubers? Aren't there machines like this avalible in USA, even reconditioned?

    What is the productivity of these machines per hour?

  • @mpm1688 John Deere only made about 500, they were produced from about the mid 1960s to about 1976. I guess John Deere didn't think there was enough of a market to keep producing them. They will produce about 6-8 tons an hour and can run as long as the hay is dry. I am having a hard time finding another one that even works, most of them have been scrapped out. I still think it is the best way for a small operation to handle hay, our cows and the feeder love them.

  • you are actually cubing the hay into pellets, are they dried after or put in a silo

  • @AshtonTully The hay is dried in the windrow and then we cube it and deliever it to a local dairy where he stores it in a pile and feeds it. We use a 1.25" X 3" long fiber die to form the cubes, and the dairyman says the cows eat them like skittles.

  • I always hoped to see one of these machines operating in the field...I remember pictures of this cuber on a JD calendar in the seventies when I was a child... Finally someone has loaded a nice video in youtube...Where are you based? maybe it will happen I can be around and have the opportunity to see it live..if possible.

    Thanks!

  • @flycat40 We are in the San Joaquin valley in California, we will be running every summer until we cant get parts anymore.

  • Does anybody know where to find one of these? I would like to get one for my farm. Thanks

    

  • i work for my cousin and we do custom hay baling. over by his brother's shop there were two machines that i could not figure out for the life of me what they were and it was driving me insane. After watching this video and finding out that they were cubers, these machines intrigue me! Thanks for the upload of this interesting machine.

  • @nvrdun421

    Looks like good feed for the cows and calves indeed, I'm looking for such a machine in Europe but I don't know if they were even sold around here... If some one has one for sale leave me a message.

  • @nvrdun421 Thanks for your reply! Since I saw that JD 425 Cuber`s video I`ve dreamed with one like this producing cubes in Brazil. I think it is the best way to produce cubes. Unfortunatly, I'll have to search another way. Do you have any sugestion to help me?

  • Seen those sitting on the south side of 198 just west of the Visalia Airport
