Abby your a good daughter to come over and help your family! Especially on a hot summer day when people would rather be inside.

It is always pleasure to see Jim's daughters to work with the horses...

Hello miss Abbie- I am 80 yrs old , but when I was 14 yrs. old I was doing the same as you, raking with horses .I was working with two Canadian mares and they had so much endurance. It is such joy for me to see you raking with the same type of machinerie . Thank you very much for the vedio and Jim I admire you so very much. I am from Magog Qc. 60 miles east of Montreal

I’m 60 and used a rake that had seat on a leaf spring. We would skid longs out of river bottoms in the winter time when the ground was frozen and snow covered.

When I see Abby thanking Buck and Kent it comes to my mind that those guys were really part of the family. I smiled, out of good feeling.

Great job Abbey love watching your dad's horses work

Good job Abby, I am proud of you, helping your Dad like that. A Day that will go down in infamy on your family farm. Your comments ring true especially the one "alot of things going on at one time". These are very important days on the farm, the stars line up and the hay mall gets filled with beautiful feed. Great Video. Take Care Of yourself. The Alaskan. Ps; Hello Jim and Brenda, Thumbs up. Clicking the like button. Jim, boy that Tractor sounds nice to me , good engine.

Buck and Ken are happy to have the work finished, and having a snack.

It is really nice that you have a competent daughter like Abby that can handle them horses that well. She really seems to connect with them, she even gives them a kiss when she'd done.

Great vidieo , abbey talking about stacking hay bales on a trailer brought back memory's as a teenager helping out on school friends dads farms . Great memory's of good people and good times , thanks Abbey. p.s. (i know your teacher sorry for spelling and grammar errors LOL ) Best Wishes ALL

When i had a team of horses , raking hay was my favorite job

Making hay will the sunshines. I have stacked many hay bales on a flat rack. I grew up on a farm in the 60's and 70's and worked as a farmhand for other farmers after leaving home.

That looked like hot work but very well done. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

Abby is right about bale kickers. I helped Gpa bale hay by driving while he stacked. My Uncle decided to upgrade to a kicker and I was too young to operate it so I turned into a shuttle driver and hay mow stacker. It was just as much work as stacking only reversed, if that makes sense. Thanks for sharing.

Great job Abby! Looks like fun watching you and your dad doing the farm work.

So peace full to see horses working in the field

Well done. Thank you for sharing your driving experience. They both worker well for you.

Great job Abbie 🐎🐎👍

It sure reminds me of growing up in Michigan's UP in the thirties. I think only one family in our church community (CRC in Rudyard) had a tractor and I watched a lot of hay making and I was just a little kid but I did love farming. And I love your blogs, all of them. They are wonderful!

Ms. Abby, you certainly are one lucky young lady having a dad that lets you rake the hay. Only second to being allowed to lick the spoon before washing the dishes, once cakes are in the oven.

That rake looks like the one I use to use back in 1969-1970 , I was 14-15 ,I used a super H farmall , there was horse equipment in one of the barns , there was a Studebaker wagon that looked brand new , but every piece of equipment on that farm was well maintained, the stuff in that barn was the farmer’s dads

Good job Jim!! You fortunate to have your daughter to come and help you with the haying. By the looks of your pretty blue sky, you’re in luck. Your daughter mentioned baling with the horses but I’m sure by using a Baler with a kicker, pulling a wagon you’d have to use 4 horses. Dropping the bales on the ground with an engine driven baler, you could get by with 2 horses on your level ground. What’s your opinion? I suppose your break downs on the Baler had something to do with the knotters, a typical problem and can at times make a person frustrated until you can diagnose the problem. It’s not easy to see what’s going on at the end of the Baler sitting on the seat of the tractor. I’m sure since you’ve been at this for years you can pretty much guess what the problem is. It sure helps if you can have someone drive while you walk along side and see what’s happening. Nice job and you should have some great hay.

yes, we had knotter problems,but we got it going.Years ago we did some baling with the horses with a wagon behind, just two horses.

That's easly the quietest roller bar rake I've ever heard. Out neighbours clacks and bangs louder than the old Ferguson they tow it with

One of the most rewarding events in the farm year is to get good hay in! You are a big step ahead of me, we haven't even cut any hay yet, each time we plan it, the weather forecast calls for thunderstorms. This year the hay is really thick with lots of red clover, so I can't risk it getting rained on. Very nice big hay field, all flat and with lots of head land to turn around on.

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim Thank you. In a way, I need rain desperately, we are about 3 inches behind and the vegetables are thirsty, especially my potatoes and beets, but when it rains it's not enough for those, just enough to spoil the hay. So I am torn... I really like your flat stretched out hayfield; ours is between fences and it's always a bit cramped to get the windrows nice enough at the end for the baler. As long as I got it in loose, that wasn't a problem

Lovely 😊

It took you all a lot of hard work over the years to get where you are. It is easy for us all to watch you working but I can tell it must be a lot of constant stress to keep up with all the tasks you need to accomplish every day.

@@WorkingHorsesWithJim As a 5 year old I spent my summers from that age on at my grand father’s small farm in Ireland. The man was born in 1886 and never drove a motorized vehicle. Even when I was with him in the 1960’s he had a donkey and cart. It’s was a big deal for us when we got to go to town shopping on the donkey and cart. My mom used to tell stories about my grand father plowing in the fields with a team of horses. It was a very tough life back in my grand fathers time without electricity or running water. I definitely understand the work involved even with the modern conveniences you have mixed in with your current methods. I hope to watch all your videos over time
