might be curious so I'm gonna show you if you don't want to see it fast-forward it to the end did it come on down to the Stoney Ridge but I'm gonna show you okay so all these all these parts here we have two sets of hydraulics one set of hydraulics opens the back of the baler and I'll show you that in a minute would be cool when the bale spits out it's pretty neat the other one works the tire and right here is the tying apparatus and basically this sleeve has a string in it and the string goes all the way across the bail and I can see it going across the bail from this little meter right here I can see how much hay I have from this meter once it gets close to that red mark I need to go ahead and tie it and open it up and let that bail out I also have another meter up here see that it tells me if my bail is getting heavier on one side than the other so you don't have a lot sided Bale underneath here this is a quick crash course guy so underneath here is a rolling apparatus with little grabbers that just scoops up the hay pulls it into the machine it rolls it up it's a pretty neat thing how it all works we're going to take it we're going to show you we're gonna watch some hay drop out and enjoy this beautiful North Carolina sunset I've been out here all day guys just working my butt off lots of stuff going on as usual here on the farm hopefully after this I can get a bit of time to do some honey duties in the inside of the house I've got some new tools and stuff like that that I want to review and show you things that I believe in things that I like and things that if they're bullcrap I'm gonna tell you about it let's get on this thing and bail up the hay
