POW!!!! Here's what went wrong

What happens here

After raking, the presenter explains the process of baling hay. He attaches a John Deere 385 round baler to the tractor and drives it along the windrows. The baler picks up the hay, compresses it, and forms it into large round bales. He demonstrates how the baler works, including showing the indicator that signifies when a bale is complete and ready to be ejected.

Goal: Form dry hay into round bales

as we're getting started mowing here I want to make mention of something this is called 3m work tunes they'll be on link down the video description I'm gonna do a full on review of this but I just wanted to make mention of it there's one button right here you basically turn it on you can skip tracks or whatever so you can listen to your phone you can take a phone call you can hear the phone ring while you're on the tractor the noise deafening I'm very impressed with it I like it a lot so this is basically converting my 5065 open station tractor to a cab tractor in my mind really really impressed you can't turn the volume up really really high in other words you can't make yourself go deaf from music versus going deaf from the tractor so really impressed with it I just thought it was worth making mention of work tunes there'll be a link down below in the video description totally worth the money I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of forty five bucks or something like that I toyed with the idea of getting these for two years and I wished I had gotten the first day I had the tractor all the hay is done raking it's warm it's afternoon it's about yeah 3:15 and something has gone wrong so what's gone wrong here is the shear pin and this is what I use as a shear pin has broken in the baler and what happens is something
