  Top tip Tom - fit a rear facing camera on the back of the baler so you can see the bales coming out of the chamber. If you see one with no bands or the first bale out of an empty chamber when its really soft, get out and cut the bands before the bale leaves the ramp. That way you finish up with an easily rebalable trail of individual wafers instead of a big lump that sticks under the tractor of blocks the baler. Reduces the sweat and chew if nowt else

  The slow-mo of the knotters was just brilliant.

  You just got to give a lot of respect to the engineering draftsman who designed the part of a baler that ties the knots. that's just hypnotic to watch. when I was in Suffork we used to bale smaller bales and they used to shoot into a trailer that was towed behind. My job was to stack the bale better to get more on and to swap over the trailers so the full one could then be taken back to the store shed. Because you were working at the rear of the output chute you would get covered in that fine dust and would then itch like hell until you got home and had a shower and a clean change of clothes. The machine was a very old New Holland. It clanked like a dustbin being towed down the road. Thanks for reminding me of happier days. Sorry this was a long one. Thanks for posting....

  Hi Tom, <br><br>Just come across your channel! And I have to say it’s rather fantastic.<br><br>I’m a 31 year old bloke from Somerset who grew up obsessed with farming, I managed to get some work on a local arable farm just after Covid and thought my dreams had come true, finally being able to work on a farm.<br><br>Sadly at the beginning of this year the farmer decided to sell the whole farm due to the appalling conditions cause by the government and various other bodies that are just destroying British farming.<br><br>If you ever needed a hand for a week or two I would love to come up and give you a hand! I have 4 years of experience running most of the usual equipment you find on an arable farm, and I’m very competent at it.<br><br>I would love to do it for free as well to help out. <br><br>If your interested let me know and we can go from there

  Great video Tom , I feel all edified now , I never realised how much psi there was put into bailing square bails .<br>Whoever invented that machine way back in the day was a brilliant engineer . Really enjoyed that Tom thank you

  I can see why the round bailing is so much better and probably simpler and cheaper

  The agriculture technology shown is quite advanced. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves over time.
