Some Vintage Hay Baling

Road a lot of miles on a hayrack stacking bales behind one of those balers as a kid, no stackwagons around here. First time I got to see one work, I'm guessing the stack was supposed to keep standing when he pulled away from it? Sure beats picking them up off of the ground like we had to once in a while. Chris

right on. new holland does have good haying equipment. was trying to see what model baler .

You need a wall or another stack to tilt into and it works alot better.

Baler is a 69.

Still looks like to mch fooling around for me. I've done idiot cubes before too. I'll take my round bales or the big square bales that fit the width of the trailer when loaded on.

As a kid I visited my aunt and uncle in Saskatchewan, and their son had taken over the farm. First thing he did was buy a brand new hay stacker wagon. This would have been in 72-73. He pulled it with his McCormick W6 tractor. I had never seen anything like this rig before, coming from the east. And he just backed the wagon up near his cattle yard, and off loaded the stack and his haying was done. They get so little rain of snow there that they dont even worry about any spoilage. It would be a rotten mess at our place within two months. A few years later round balers came on the seen , and stack wagons were discarded

Those bales are to loose to make nice stack, they have got to be like a brick to make a decent stack!

Thanks for posting. I love that stackwagon. Beautiful.

Sometimes this is a requirement. Horse people or landscapers dont want round bales.

Nice video.

Stack wagons were -the- thing to get around here, then 5 years later round bales were discovered and stack wagons got rusty.

I wouldn't trust the stack too far, either. They are a lot more likely to stay standing if you tie the layers together by stacking one direction and then the other. It doesn't look like this stacker does that. Stacked a few in the day. We mostly did the small AC round bales but we rarely stacked them outside. People complained about them being hard to stack but after getting used to them I preferred stacking round bales on a wagon (with end supports) and in the barn. Plus, the round bales wouldn't break even if they didn't get tied.

Those 1010 balewagons make it hard to stack with. I had to put a board between the bottom bales and the load rack and tie it back to drag the load off. It can be done but the 1012 with the push off feet are alot easier. Along with a couple poles to hold the stack up straight.
