Baling hay....another setback..just part of farming

What happens here

The speaker proceeds to connect the baler to the tractor. He explains that he needs to run a hydraulic line over the fender to the bucket control due to the tractor only having one set of rear hydraulics. He also connects a hydraulic line for the tire that sends string out and another for opening the back of the baler. He then begins the cumbersome task of attaching the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft, which weighs about 65 pounds and needs precise alignment.

Goal: This step involves connecting the baler to the tractor, including rerouting hydraulic lines due to limited ports and attaching the heavy and alignment-sensitive PTO shaft.

I don't have a moisture meter hydraulic line I have to run over the fender to the bucket control because I don't have two sets of hydraulics on the back of this tractor Golic line for the tire it sends the string out and I got a hydraulic line that opens the back of the baler and you'll get to see that in the drone please one final thing we got to hook up is the PTO shaft okay so the PTO shaft weighs about 65 pounds and it's really cumbersome to get hooked up and it all has to line up just perfect and it's not lining up just perfect let's get on my nerves these are my gloves that I used to hook this stuff up and you can see they're just who we doing gross with grease if you don't have a set of gloves on your tractor you got to hook this three-point stuff up or you better hook this stuff up PTO shafts you're just gonna get covered in grease and I don't want to be covered in grease I've already got diesel fuel all over me one thing we got to do is we got to fill this tire up right here this tire rides along the ground while the little grabbers underneath pick up the hay okay and you'll get a better shot of that in fact I'll take you down here and show you now it's right underneath here
