Almost bought one of those years ago, maybe should have. It wasn't cheep, and was a wierd thing to transport, I suppose you take it appart first? Now I know why they're not popular in the northeast, it stacks on the cut edge? a thread on that the other day eh? You irrigate all of that? Nice looking field, your doing a good job.
 
You just pull em down the road.secure the 'loader' with a chain and take off.drive the speed limit.you can remove the sides for less wind resistance(less rattleing,too),but not nessesary.that field is about 25 acres.thanks for the kind words.Steve
 
Nice pics Delta Red !

Now don't consider me a Hick, but a question is in my mind.

I come from an area where the farms used to be maybe 150 acres with maybe 60-70 of those were farm able.

Now where you do this type of farming I couldn't imagine a pack of maybe 3 or 4 tractors and wagons shuttling loads to the barn and a crew of guys in the field and in the barn at the same time doing this the old fashion way.

Even as a kid , to walk that field with the old small square bales gathering two rows on either side would make a guy pretty tired in one pass.

How was it done in the 50's and 60's?
Was the farms smaller too ?
 
Weare in western Colorado.I dont have a 'crew'.Its just me and a 1032 stackwagon.any bady that raises hay here and small squares uses a stackwagon.however,I have a tractor on each machine-1256 /swather;826hydro /283 baler;706 /stackwagon;superH/hay rakeSuperC/hayrake:SuperM on standby to help wherever he is needed.sometimes I can draft my wife or a friend to help-but not very often!
 
I never have seen one of those bale wagons work. You just never seen them in my neck of the woods. We did it by hand as I grew up then most bigger operators got a bale thrower on there baler and now its all the big round bales. You do see a big squre baler now and then but I think the price off the baler keeps most doing the big round bales. Thanks for the interesting pics.
 
Just a comment here, that stack looks a little rattier than the ones in the New Holland advertisements. Do you think they tighten them up for the photos? Or just pick the best out of a few hundred?

How long does it take to learn to operate that machine?

How much of a hill can you use it on?

Can you pick up the stacks and move them?

There are only one or two of those machines around that I know of, every one uses rolls, or is still fighting with kicker racks and small squares.

My bales are shorter than optimum for machine stacking,and yes NH probably 'doctors' the advertizeing pics.There is a learning curve but its not too bad-yes hay stacks sometimes fall over :(.I've been useing a stackwagon for over 20 yrs,but I still learn new technices/tricks.You can pik off a hillside-but not real steep.The more level the stackyard the better.There are stackmovers(truck mounted)for the 3wide stacks,but none that I know of for the smaller 2wide.
 
Stacking grass is a little tougher. I think Steve's stacks look real good. Here is my balewagon stacking alfalfa bales.

They stack better because they're not as slick and they're more solid. Grass and straw are more difficult. Learning to operate a balewagon isn't tough. The more you stack, the faster you can go, and the better your stacks will look and stand.
