Our Story:
We are five years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our journey!

Those gotta be the smallest rounds I ever seen lol

[the_foreshadow]

Listen brother, I know people who can’t even imagine doing this. You did all this on your first go. Didn’t destroy the machines, learned from mistakes and continued to do it in the most optimal way you can. Job well done.

[MajestikBlui]

Those are the cutest little round bales I've ever seen!!

[ultracurious]

These are the most adorable bales I've ever seen.

Pro tip from an old farmer. If you are raising cattle or other livestock, rotate them on and off of this pasture and then let them naturally fertilize and mash the soil. If not, find a neighbor farmer (or two) with some cows, goats or other livestock. Do not get into the habit of buying fertilizer and trucking in and spreading it. It will actually lower your yield and the quality of your grasses.

[burrell]

This my favorite part of social media learning about other life and watching them try something new.

[Sandhills_Coyote]

Those are the cutest bales I’ve ever seen. I’d need one per cow

[Robert-kofi]

When I was a kid, my dad once told me that the round bales were going to be outlawed. I asked why and he said because the cows weren't getting a square meal.

[DevinTheWizard]

I worked at kubota for a few years. Never seen a baler that small. Very cool you can get it done with the 3901.

[JboBakey]

I've never seen such a little round bale, looking good man

[jokck]

I've never seen those baby hay bales before that's cool.

[fishfish]

So nice to see folks doing what makes them happy..

[garrykennedy]

After a couple I'd say you're gonna be just fine!!!! Most couldn't figure that out near that quickly! Great job my

[terischannel]

There's a steep learning curve for all equipment. It looks like you figured it out. I wish they would have hade these small balers when I still had my small property. I'm glad the technology is getting better for the small farmers.

[CsRule]

That’s some really nice bales! Yeahhh, , you can’t overfill these little guys, but you sure picked it up quick! They make nice bales you can handle yourself & not need a tractor to move each bale. I’m up in Canada on irrigation land so we get 3 cuttings maximum. If we get an early frost, wellll. 😂. Gave away your first harvest I see. Big hearted people. Nice! You should make enough to pay the property taxes &some fuel. We have enough land in crop that we actually turn a profit. Our irrigation pivot is pressured with an electric pump to get the water to the right pressure& there’s an electric motor driven hydraulic pump to power the drive motors on the towers that keep the pivot moving around the field. We pull off a pipeline that if there’s not too many people pulling from has enough pressure on its own!! We are in a fortunate location. We will make a bit of $$$ to donate this year if the “big white combine” (hail) doesn’t hit us! Looking very good for 3 cuts of hay this year.
Thanks for sharing! Please stay safe, Eh!

Two tips.

1) Drop your rake a little, leaving so much cut hay causes thatching. It's supposed to touch the ground, and worn/broken tines are simply part of it.

2) Narrow your windrows a little for your baler pickup, same reasons as above. Tall/ narrow is better than low/wide.

[ronbrock]

Wow those compact bails are cool. I would bet there is a good demand for them for places that have a few head to care for.

[kconway]

“We bought 20 acres of forested land, cut it clear…” he says this so casually

[omnigar]

"I want to live in nature"

Cuts nature down and grows hay.
