Glad to see you guys are still hanging on. Not too many small dairy operations around anymore

You’ve really got a wonderful farm. Looks like you are far from traffic, nicely peaceful, nice rolling hills. Must have been a great place to grow up.

I really like your channel. You do things the way we did it when I was a teenager. But I really love that you are keeping this older equipment running and usable. That's amazing. Really like the old Oliver and Farmall. Keep up the good work.

Love 💕 seeing the older equipment still at work 👍

Our farm we always try very hard to handle cut hay with care, and not run over it with the tractor or work it. My dad was very particular about it. Every time dry alfalfa is handled the leaves slough and the crop loses nutritional content. I can still hear him yelling at me. LOL Our New Holland thrower was pulled with a MM M670 propane. Working with the baler from our other farm our record was just over 2,200 bales in one day. We had six people, two balers, six racks, and a lot more energy then. 😂😂 Thank you for sharing!

I remember when I was about 15, my cousin bought a new JD baler, first one we'd seen with a bale counter that actually worked. We baled 35k bales that summer and I touched every one of them. Pulled baler & wagons with a 175 MF diesel. We milked 12 or so cows by hand back in those days. Milk, eat a little breakfast, hit the hay fields until 6 or so, milk again. Those were the good ol days!

Some of the most beautiful countryside on God's earth. That drone footage is spectacular.

nice to see the old equipment work

When someone says baling hay, I think of the way you guys are doing it! Never farmed myself, as teenagers my brothers and I worked for many different dairy farmers in central Minnesota, haying like your doing, decent money and we were always fed well. Nice video, I’m in!

Thanks for watching robert, and I agree its exactly what i think of when someone says bailing hay!

Beautiful fields, good weather and well maintained vintage equipment! I spent many a summer behind one of those kick balers stacking the loads on as we had to haul sometimes up to ten miles away so we wanted as many on the load as we could. You always looked out for your buddy to not get a bale in the side of the head!

Hello. What a beautiful vidéo. I whatche it from France and I am a IH fan , i have a 433 , a 744 and a 845 xl . There are magnifique !! Nice to see you gain !!!

Really enjoyed the details of equipment maintenance and adjustments. Brings back memories of my childhood. We did small bales, either dropped on the ground and loaded by hand later or with a guy on the hay rack towed behind the baler, then elevator to the hayloft. Was fun to load the elevator with bales inches apart, to make the guys move quickly in the hayloft. We had an old reaper for oats, had to go shock the bundles in the field, then haul them to the threshing machine, which was run by a long belt off the tractor. Played a lot in the straw stack. God, I really enjoyed my childhood. Thanks for the memories.👏👏

Haven't baled hay like that in yrs. We roll it.still use new Holland rake.have 1 cab tractor but nothing fancy Heat and air but still partial to the open station we have.

Beautiful farm and scenery. Enjoyed seeing your operation.

Great video. I found my milking cows couldn’t tell the difference between small square bales and big round bales, so now they only get big round. I still have a in mow hay drying system in my barn, that we stacked the fresh bales on. It blew air through the hay, and helped cool the hay down and dry out any tough or damp wads of hay. Been milking up to 80 cows now for 42 years, and we are going to transition to beef. Dairy is a young man’s game, and it looks like you have your heart in it . All the best

Farmalls are my favorite tractors

I know I'm not the only recliner viewer watching these days and enjoying being there with U ;-}

Great Video. brought back memories of my days as a kids baling on he 70s. There was no better baler in those days than a New Holland. YOu guys sure picked a nice day to make hay.

I love the sound of that M.

I really enjoyed this video. Reminded me of growing up in the 80’s square baling hillsides like that with older equipment. Nothing prettier than a freshly baled hay field, especially 2nd cutting. I really admire just how well the farm is kept up.

Thank you Paul, your compliments mean a lot!

Different kind of country!👍🏽 Growing up in Sandhills we put up 2.3 sections of prairie hay using a hay cage. Each place puts up hay is different. Hay stackers of different types gave way to round bales and big squre bales.

Great use of drone and ground level shots with nat sound. Really like the GoPro on top of the NH baler. I have cab tractors with AC for baling today but remember the days of open station tractors. Takes young people with strong arms and motivation. Seems like that is in short supply today…

An interesting blend of technologies old and new! Olivers and UAV's!

It was great seeing the M run, even though it's a later model then the one we had on the farm I grew up on in the 1950's. Still, it must be pushing 70 years old. I spent many a summer hour running H's, cultivating row crops, and very early fall mornings before going to school raking beans for thrashing while the dew was on them. Thanks for the great video work.

Back in 1973 I bailed hay for my neighbor, who hauled hay for a living to Kentucky horse farms, for two cents a bale. Fifteen years old. Wire bales, so they were heavy. They fed us good though. Good memories.

Y'all, this sure does bring back memories, tractors with real air blowin through your hair. Then the lo man on the totem pole would put on long sleeves and climbed up into the loft and started stackin. Then after unloadin and stackin one wagon, take a break blow our noses, drink and pour water all over ourselves and get ready for the next one. Sure got me prepared for other things and life in general. Still can hold my own if anyone ever needs a hand. 🛌☕📖🙏🇺🇸⏳🗽🗡️🛡️
