The big square baler how does it work ?

Showing how the big square baler works harvest 2024

You just got to give a lot of respect to the engineering draftsman who designed the part of a baler that ties the knots. that's just hypnotic to watch. when I was in Suffork we used to bale smaller bales and they used to shoot into a trailer that was towed behind. My job was to stack the bale better to get more on and to swap over the trailers so the full one could then be taken back to the store shed. Because you were working at the rear of the output chute you would get covered in that fine dust and would then itch like hell until you got home and had a shower and a clean change of clothes. The machine was a very old New Holland. It clanked like a dustbin being towed down the road. Thanks for reminding me of happier days. Sorry this was a long one. Thanks for posting....

Great video, and the slow motion of the knotting was brilliant. Thank you.

[philhyde]

The slow-mo of the knotters was just brilliant.

Came over from Colin, but love the farm stuff. My new most favorite channel.

Top tip Tom - fit a rear facing camera on the back of the baler so you can see the bales coming out of the chamber. If you see one with no bands or the first bale out of an empty chamber when its really soft, get out and cut the bands before the bale leaves the ramp. That way you finish up with an easily rebalable trail of individual wafers instead of a big lump that sticks under the tractor of blocks the baler. Reduces the sweat and chew if nowt else

Keep up the hard work tom love watching your videos, learnt so much about farm machinery that I would have never known about otherwise, brilliant work mate.

Great video Tom, I feel all edified now, I never realised how much psi there was put into bailing square bails .
Whoever invented that machine way back in the day was a brilliant engineer . Really enjoyed that Tom thank you

A very clever person who designed the knotting mechanism all those years ago, I like your wifes instructions max power Tom. Good insight to farming. Carry On Farming

Great video Tom very interesting and informative 👍

Thanks for sharing your Saturday with us. You need to get that gas leak sorted mate. It’s probably too many takeaways. 😂😂

[stco]

Excellent. That's a complicated machine, especially compared to the round bailer, but I remember these from my childhood. Loved the explanations and sloow-mowww. Cheers!!

[AhTechus]

The agriculture technology shown is quite advanced. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves over time.

[Wolfyjinny]

Absolutely fascinating, whoever invents this kit I take my hat off to them.

Always good have company in the cab. Makes the day go quicker.

Magic. That’s how I assume it works 😂 Loving your multi uploads Tom 🫶🏻🙂

[jimmyflynn]

Thank you for showing us none farmers how it works tom cheers

[paulprescott]

Absolutely fascinating Tom thank you. In the 70s as kidswe used to help out when the farmer was baling. Though the bales were smaller then.

Another very cool vid from Tom fantastic as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Gas buildup, evacuate 😂 great explanation of the bailer linseed straw needs MAXIMUM POWER 💪🏼🤠
