Why?
Is that even worth the effort or are they made of gold?

What is it they are baling? Foreign style hitch so assuming it is not a UK video.

Baling rushes isn't it?

That delightful tongue you can hear is a local variation our local dialect and accent, spoken by many a man on the Somerset levels.

When you can see a wave of water under that turf it really makes me wonder if that turf skin broke then how deep would that tractor fall? 15 inches or 15ft ???
It's hell of a wave so there's some serious water down there.

Good advert for krone balers!

I want to see the vid of them carting the bales.

I remember going to look at a horse a family member was thinking of purchasing once, and as they were trotting around on the paddock it became apparent the whole surface of the paddock was going up and down with a certain resonance and it became apparent the soil was obviously on a fully liquid sub layer. I imagine it must be a yard or so of soil... at least I would hope. It would make me nervous anyway.

Looks like baling in July around my bit.

seems a long time ago now
but years ago, we windrowed our canola prior to harvest
had more than our yearly rainfall in 11 days, biggest flood here in recorded history
thankfully, being on an open wide flat floodplain the water flow is fairly slow and gentle ( unless thee is a fence or structure in the way. Major reason why we don't have any fences ), so the windrows just floated on the water for a few days but didn't move around much. Once the water dropped, we were able to pick up the rows & harvest them . . .
bloody awful though. The canola was all shot & sprung, only fit for the feed market & there was a nasty green slime underneath the rows
Harvesting it look similar to that clip above
That was in 2000 & you could still see the damage at least 10 or maybe 15 years later . . .

I would imagine that sooner or later his luck’s going to run out. That’s all that’s keeping him afloat.

First time i have seen duals on a baler .I think if you broke the crust on that land you would be going down with your ship .How would you set your mower up on that pudding

 

[PostHarvest]

Reminds me of testing a round baler in paddy field rice straw in Italy. All the balers there have duals. We didn't and spent most of the test programme digging the kit out of the mud.
