Hiya Joanna, great video, it took me straight back to the 60s' to Rutland then South Wales watching the straw being bailed and transported. The tractor, bailer, the cage behind it, all as it was. Fantastic to watch it all still working, and working so well. Dad was in the RAF hence the move, Cyprus came next in 68. Now there was great heat, 105 in August, running down the cliff path to the beach, swimming all day then running home. No ice on the water thank you very much, just warm Medeterainian sea. Stay safe, Steve...

Class video, brings back so many memories, even the bales falling off the trailer. Remember sitting on top of the load from field to shed. Its a very satisfying feeling when everything falls into place, hay weather, machinery, helpers etc.

WOW...does this video take me back to my lad days on the farm and helping other farmers bring their hay bales in off the fields. I could 'smell' the hay while watching. I'd walk the field, pick the bales and throw them up on the wagon where another 'lad' would stack them - the tractor never stopped. And mercy...that baler is amazing for how old it be - those tractors too! Thanks Joanne for the trip down memory lane! Stay safe - be well - many blessings.

I used to work with a contractor that had an MF 20 baler, very good and reliable but a slow intake for a contractor in the 80's and 90's they got 2 X MF 124's which were much bigger intakes and therefore faster but apart from that it was only cosmetic differances, MF124 were squarer corners, MF20 rounded corners. Like the DB 885, we owned an Red imperlematic 880 and MF 65 M2 and the contractor had an DB 1200, DB1210 and DB 1412. Also MF 1135, MF 590, MF188, MF575, Also JD 3140, And 4WD 3130 At the time, 80's - 90's along with a JD Digger and MF65R before changing that for a Volvo 4200BM which had the same engine as the MF 188/590 Brings back old times looking at your outfit. Like the MTZ 62, there were a few in our county (Kerry) but they were rare. Mostly DB, MF, Ford and JD

Hi folks this sort of thing makes me proud to be british one hand watching four winds farm vids and then yours ....100s of thousands of pounds equipment then stuff a tenth of value all doing same work brilliant...

You don’t get better weather for hay making than that very often. That old 41 year old baler certainly performed well and the bale collector must be one of the original machines of that type. When the ‘flat eight’ collectors became commonplace, the simplest one had switch over gates which guided the bales into the appropriate channels, with number eight triggering the tailgate release. I could almost feel the heat and smell the hay. Should have tied that load on. As soon as I saw it going along the road i could have bet money that the rear corner was going to fall off . Still a nice feeling to get it all done and in the barn. See you in around 5 weeks.

That was hay making at its best

By gum, that brings some memories back, about 55 years ago, a loverly clean cut and baled field,fantastic. All the best to you all and take care 🚜🐑🍻

Great haying weather but way too hot for comfort here too some days. I've got a similar Massey 120 baler from the 1970s. It still works to make a few straw bales every year. Most hay is made in big rounds or squares nowadays.

We round bale most of ours always try to make a few small bales they are so handy to have!!

I bought a MF20 baler recently as a vintage working exhibit. Yer one is going really well. No breakages? Long ago in Ireland we used have to stook the bales in fours with knots down and out and leave for a week in the field lest they heat in the barn. Lot of fine weather essential. Farmers back then were really physically fit from such labours and had no weight or health issues. Far less stressful then in comparison to the intensive farming today. Your video depicts perfectly what hay making used to be like. Well done. 👍👏👏👏

What a lovely video! So well filmed and a joy to watch. There was so much beauty that day and you captured it so well. God bless your Dad, he seems like such a nice man. Thanks Joanna!
