(2,496 characters)didn't know about all that I lost my hat but as promised we'll talk about what we've got going so that's a beautiful nice four by five round bale here let's take over to the baler and talk to you a little bit about what we've got going here and how this all works pretty cool so what you're looking at is the back of the baler and right here are some little arms those two arms ride on the belts and tell something up front here mechanically that the bale is getting full or not so full so when you get to this red right here you better get that belt out of there you're gonna break your shear pin down here on your drive shaft or on your PTO shaft so that's how you know when it's time to kick the bail out now up above here are these two dudes and those two guys tell you whether the bail is getting heavy from this side or heavy on that side meaning there's more hay on one side of the veil than there is on the other side of the veil so pretty cool hay baler science the whole time you're running this machine you really got to be thinking listening paying attention to what's going on when you see a farmer out in the field baling hay there is a lot going on in that guy's head and it kind of becomes a routine kind of like brushing your teeth I don't know if you guys can see back there but we got some nasty clouds on the horizon I don't have what's called a Tedder and a Tedder would be something that I would take these wind rows and spread them back out after they get wet so I'm in a pinch here I've really what I've got to do is take the baler finish up what I've already got raked up and kind of make a judgment call whether I can get this all done or not so you may not get any drone footage at the end of this I've been busting my butt for several days here it's a lot of work but I just can't see letting this Bureau up and just fall over for the wintertime I don't really need the hay it's hard for me to sell hay around here I've got farmers around here that have been doing it for years that are selling these four by five almost 1,000 pound bales of hay they're selling them for 20 bucks man I can't compete with 20 bucks I've got tractors to pay for so the best thing for me to do is to Bale this hay and store it for when we do get cows and I won't have to worry about it I'll be able to throw it to the cows now one of these bales of hay will take my 15 goats and it'll last them for two weeks so we're probably going to have in the neighborhood of a hundred and ten extra…
