JD Pulling the NH68 Baler

OK - as promised sometime back (when criticizing most online haying videos - LOL ), I promised we'd post some videos of our haying efforts. With the purchase of our Mac Mini - and bit of effort, finally uploaded a video of the JD 5055d pulling our New Holland 68 baler pulling our refurb'd hay wagon.

My two boys are stacking the hay, my daughter is taking the video and I (Dad) of course am setting in the tractor seat.... ;-)

Hopefully more to come.

One side note - we wear a lot of sun screen when out in these fields and I found a really nice western hat while on a business trip last year in Tucson AZ. It is well vented, but most importantly, it helps to keep the sun off my ears, face and neck. I highly recommend one - inspire of the family poking that I'm trying to look like John Wayne and besides he rode a horse, not a JD.... LOL. If I can get these videos to upload, you'll see a lot of that "cool" hat....

Enjoy!

See if this link works.

Like troubleshooting a knotter.....

Nice video - thanks for sharing.

PS I am also a firm believer is the straw hat when haying on an open station tractor. They breathe well and keep the sun off your entire head.
 
That looks real good. Not to criticize and I can't see real good in the video but I see all kinds of hay stacking methods on wagons. How l was taught and always worked relatively well on our terraced land in rolling NE Ks. We would stack as such I== then ==I on top, the front of the wagon would be toward the bottom or top of the sentence line. Alternating the end bale end to end for each layer. On the first layer the bales shown as the equal signs had about 3-4" between their parallel sides and tighten that space on subsequent layers. The next section forward repeat with the end bale oposite of the one to its rear. Hope this makes sense. I think I see your back support installed sloping back. Ours were all at a 90 angle to the floor.
 
Yep - this is all new for my kids, so there is a learning curve on the stacking.

The backstop did not hold it's position from original installation. I'm surprised it didn't fall off - LOL! Fixing it is on our list of winter 'round-to-its.
 

Sorry to hijack the thread Bill VA but I just acquired a Hayliner 68 that needs some tuning up. I've seen many of your posts about the rebuild you did on yours. I could not find the videos, other than the finished baler working well.

My biggest project si going to be replacing the plunger slides. Do you have any advice on it? I can't find any new slides except to $175 for ONE new one, way to steep for my budget.
