How a haybob works

[diggerboyce]

Well done Richard. We are all blessed to know you and your fantastic family.

I come from the days when you had a Tedder & a Windrow and you *always* burnt the stubble, which was a sight to see as the fire-line crept across the field and all the hands keeping an eye on the line of poplars at the edge of the field . . . But I digress.

Interesting machine, that. I see there's a bit of faffing about, but better one machine to do the job of two.
Thanks for the U/L x

We are approaching our second summer in our Cornish small holding and have bought, but yet to use, the same hay bob for our MF135 (thank you for the great video you did on how to change the oil). This is a really helpful video thank you!

I remember when haybobs arrived lol. They almost took a day off the time to win hay. The old Dickie turners used to leave wet bits sticking to the ground which would lift when the swathes were worked for second and third time , meaning damp pouks in the hay. The haybobs also made the Lely Acrobat redundant as they rowed up so efficiently there wasn't enough left to be worth raking! Main problem was the tines breaking off and breaking shear bolts in the baler or damaging the bale knife. I think later models tried to tie the tines together so that if they halved they would stay on the machine.

Hello mate, I'm rufus from London England, and I've worked on farms all my younger years, I put an advertisement in farmers weekly, and got two farmers who were willing to give me a try, one was dairy and the other dairy and arable, 360 cows, and 40 acres crops and grazing, I drove tractors, combine harvesters, 360 excavator, backhoe, but the best was getting up at 430 am to milk the 360 cows every day, the bail hay, or spread silage

Thanks dude, v helpful video. Need to invest in a secondhand haybob for a few acres of hay and this really explains how they work!

[Tjgriffin]

You are going at a savage speed altogether

Great video… I’ll buy one before the summer

I have had simular problems after a drought with dead looking areas, undersowed the paddock with Italian rye grass quick establishment and bulk grass for winter and spring.

wish I could adjust my tines as quick as you did! Just started tedding in darkest Somerset, just hope the weather holds for the next 2 days or so...

Great video - helpful to me as someone gave me an old haybob to have a go at haymaking. Gives me some idea of what to actually do - LOL!! The close up shot of working diagrams are very useful as all stickers on my machine are non existent, top link diagram needs thinking about for me, well done thanks .

I've got a Vicon 300 it works well on our MF 690

[FelixCampbell]

We have a haybob exactly like that except on ours there's a rail to protect it. Brilliant bit of kit

[samyarnold]

You should worry about the wheels. You will pick up more if you put the wheels up so the tines or lower to the ground and will rake up more
