The owner narrates baling rough, terraced fields with a Massey Ferguson 5610 and Deere 468 baler, pushing speeds over 8 mph, discussing hay moisture judgment, a bent baler tooth, net wrap changes, and terrace handling. Useful for owners wanting real working footage of the 5610 under load rather than a walkaround or feature rundown.
Posted by the Spring Hollow Farm & Adventures channel, an owner-operator narrating their own haying work as it happens.
The owner runs over 8 mph, reaching 8.5 and even 8.12 mph, though he says most people would not recommend running that fast, especially on rough terrain.
He likes hay a bit more golden than what he is baling, aiming for a happy medium that avoids spontaneous combustion risk while still being dry enough, noting it may be too green for horse hay but fine for cattle hay.
He avoids running the bale kicker on this hilly field with a pond nearby because he would risk winding up one of the nice bales in the pond.
