Funny video. Cars and pickups parked all around this (stuck) tractor....

As the noisy child, I'd to apologize for distracting the cameraman

Some, more of others as time permits.

Your back!

Psytrance tractor

Very nice little portable engine.

What is the load they are putting on the engine ??

Good bales. What year and model?

What is that black flat top whistle on that frick?

Outstanding!!

We used a double harpoon fork.

Great stack talk!!!

Put up hay this same way in early 50's. Moved on from loose hay with only horses, and then to baled hay and a B Farmall tractor in place of the horses. As a 12 yr old, was great fun but hard work. Had many fewer hands to help than this Amish crew, but they were enjoying their tasks. Agree their loose hay on the wagon was not stacked right.

Can t see a thing.

At least you know it don't work.

When I was in high school in the 60s we hauled baled hay using a derrick. Used a tractor instead of a horse on the derrick. Had to be careful using the deadman fork. When it was tripped it would spring out and injure anyone standing too close. My father raised hay in the 50s but we used a tractor with what was referred to as a Farmhand loader that had long prongs that would glide along the ground scooping up the bunched hay piles and load it on a trailer. Once the hay was stacked, a hay knife was used to cut or saw off sections to feed.

I am familiar with a hay loft not a mow..That is what is done to the hay as cutting.

Someone should have invented a way to grab the wagon, tilt it and dump the hay with one pull from the horse.

Is this in Lancaster County?

what you do not see is how hot it is in the mow whooo sweat just running off you so when working on neighboring farms at lunch would offer you a beer i be 13 sure i will

In my youth I could have forked that load off faster than this demonstration.

Hmmmmmmm…………If every man standing around just grabbed a pitch fork they could have unloaded the hay wagon in half the time! LOL

This is outrageous!! So tired of people abusing horses this way!! Lets put you in front of a hay load. Janice

Looks like a total failure to me

well this is first time i,ve seen this donwe my grandad did this when i was a we lad in perry co indiana my how times have changed

I was the stack builder under a beaver slide in the Bitterroot valley in the fifties

Looked to me as a perfect case of disorganised Chaos combined with too many Indians standing around like Council Workers, and too many Chiefs pretending to know what they were doing. Horses were Beautiful and the only part worth looking at for me, otherwise I was Fuming at the incompetence.

When my family moved to northern Michigan in the early 60’s that’s how we got our hay in the barn.

We used simular hooks in northern norway in late 1970 mostly to get hay-silage from the silage to the silage pilecompartment to the goat compartment of the barn. The lifting was done by an electric 2000 pound winsj mounted on rails in the roof of the barn. and the same winsj was used for dry hay ore whatever else, say lifting the snowmobile up on the workbench if say the belt-engine needed service.

Dad would talk how did this, not say how got it to go left and right

AOC s green new deal . This is your grandkids future.

Awesome

Have any interest in selling that super c and mounted picker?

That's a nice hart parr with matching front and rear round spoke. Don't see them everyday.

My dad and my uncle had one of these and I operated one for years back in the 1960's. Just a tip but we learned that the center nose was completely optional. The picker will do just fine without it . . . as long as the corn is not all fallen over. Then the picking had to be done in one direction.

Where is this show at?

They have a show Called the Farmers And Thresherman’s Jubilee In New Centerville Pennsylvania

Awesome 🤠 steam is cool 👍

Anyone know what this kind of rake is called? I'm in need of something similar

Gratz that is a great place, old time muscle on the street.👍

I like Eric’s frick

Jim’s Russell

What are the dems in the line shafts? How tall and wide once built? I need to make sure my beams on my mini machine shop are high enough before I order some.

The comment on trying to make the bales too tight is very true. I you try to make the bales too tight, it will break the twine, or cause missed ties. The twine is held by the twine disc and as the bale forms, the twine is pulled from the box. It has to be able to slide around the bale as it progresses. If the bale chamber is packed too tight the twine can't slide around the bale. So, it will either break the twine or pull it out of the disc, resulting no tie.

That ruins them poor ponies you will never be able to hook 🪝 to a wagon and go for a peaceful drive they will always be wanting to jerk and 🏃‍♀️ run.

The way things should be

I’m not going to this show for the next few years

Very good sharing 💞

That’s Butch’s Keck Gonnerman Steam Traction engine

I remember this engine it goes To Rough And Tumble I only go to this show on Saturday
