Baling Video

those sights and sounds bring back memories...not the square baler, we had round...but the rake is a familiar sound.
Yep, the baling was a little slow.... you said it was on account of her...maybe you did not want to work so hard either :)

Great video.  Thanks for sharing.  I never got to do that part.  My job was taking them off the conveyor and stacking them in the barn.  Hot, dusty, lousy work...but it builds character.  Or so I was told.

Dennis,

Thank you for your kind words. It is my goal to make a series of videos showing vintage equipment working as intended. Most people that have not grown up on a farm don't realize the process of going from dirt to food. Also there are more and more people buying older equipment that have no idea what it is, does or how it works. If my videos can help someone it's all worth the time.
I do try to keep the equipment maintained. It's cheaper to maintain than fix after it breaks. I always try to put the equipment away in running condition and greased so I can hook up and go when I need to use it.
I do have the rear inner wheel weights on my "CA". I bought them when first got the "CA" and didn't know that they were "rare" or "Hard to find". Just dumb luck. When I fix the hand clutch I will take a few pictures.

I am waiting to see the corn harvest...

Nice video I bet once the wagon is full the d15 is working pretty hard. We baled hay with a d17 and a wagon when I was a kid. We always tried to bale the hills first so the tractor didn't have to pull such a heavy load up the hills.

I thought it was a little mean to video your daughter on her first attempt at baling but she dis a great job.

I've been having with  Safari it will not down load U-tube the last week or so. Any suggestions for a fix?

Looks like Lizzie was doing a FINE job

Great video! Thanks for posting!

Loved the video....reminds me of my youth....a long, long ago!!

Very nice haymaking video! Thanks for taking the time to post these. We had Allis tractors but other equipment, like New Idea sikle bar mower, New Holland baler.
Brings back many memories too!

In shorter hay it worked fine but TALL fescue and orchard grass it was a nightmare that make the pope cuss. Just curious--What's with all the noise with the rake? My old NH 55 rake runs so quiet you have to look back to make sure it's still there.

The noise is caused by a couple of bend tines and bouncing though the field.

Great video - especially for those of us who don't have the mowing/conditioning/raking/baling experience - yet!

I didn't know the A-C baler had those 'grasshopper' arms.  I guess I need to look at more videos. :-)

Great video. Made me wish I was there helping!!

That was awesome nice work. I never had seen that done before. Those bales looked perfect

now that's my kind of entertainment! I wish my modelm 78 rake worked that good. My jaw clutch on mine is all shot and I don't know where to get new parts for it. Darrel
