Ok, I have a nice John Deere 5045E tractor, but I’m not a farmer.....

Could some farmers here please help us non-farmer mechanical-types understand how in the world he didn’t get hurt doing this?????? Clearly he jumped in the very last part of the bailer as he would have probably/certainly been injured jumping in the front part......

Some explanation would be appreciated.....

Great. Now John Deere is going to have to update the owner’s manual for the bailer to specify not putting adults, children, animals, or body parts into the bailer.

It all fake, but funny. Firstly, he skipped the pick-up head, which has tines that pick up the hay and bring it into the baler. Following that is a shoot that begins forming the hay into the bale size. In order to do that, there is a heavy-duty piston that then forces the hay into the shoot, cycling many times with crushing force to also push the bale through to the shoot to the final tying end (using wire, or poly, or twine). Thus, he would be crushed during this step. And there is no way, the piston and hay enables forming around the LIVE body of anything. The body would be crushed or so severely deformed as to kill the entity.

I think there was some video trickery here...that’s why he wasn’t hurt.

I’m not sure it’s even the same guy.I think that someone was already in the empty bale chamber when the first guy appeared to enter the machine.
