    How Farms Work is a CZcams channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. Our videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and GMO crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us.
    How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

    There's something about being out in a field with nothing but a tractor and a lot of hay that's therapeutic! The music was really good in this video! And the drone shots were stunning! This reminds me of when I first started watching your videos back in 2016! Keep up the great work Ryan!

    Excellent content. Raking hay was my favorite gopher job in the 70s before the wagon, stacking, hauling, unloading, elevating and stacking in a 100 degree hay mow. One bale was tossed 3x and stacked 2x vs 2x on one round bale. 70 less touches per round bale and tons of lifting by hydraulics sure changed haymaking for the better. Less worn out backs and hips. Good luck with fall harvest weather and yields.

    • @eddeetz493
      @eddeetz493 Před 5 lety

      I hope a bale accumulator jumps on board for next year. That would save wear and tear on the loader, hauling rig, time and fuel. That made some beautiful hay.

    It looks like you figured out how to handle the rake pretty well in the time you've had it on the farm. The turning radius was unsurprisingly large, of course, so it was almost like watching a tractor-trailer maneuver on the road except really wide as well. I hope the new Rhino equipment suits your needs as well as or better than the current stuff. Thanks for the video!

    Travis said in his baling video with the Krone, that you would be making bigger windrows. How do you do that? do you widen the bars on the back to make the rake wheels pull in more hay? Is there an adjustment on the back of the Rhino rake, to make them taller? Glad to see you keeping with the Rhino implements .

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  Před 5 lety +3

      Hi Jim, the Rhino Rake has a hydraulic cylinder on the back that you can use to move the back wheels together or apart, changing the size of the windrow.

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker Před 5 lety

      Correct-- widen the frame to take in a wider swath into the windrow, adjust the rear width to make the windrow taller/narrower.

    • @gkrcr882
      @gkrcr882 Před 5 lety

      My cousin used to have a Claas twin rotor rake, we were happy to get rid of it. It was much slower than the wheel rake, it broke more frequently (mostly universal joints), and didn't cover as large of an area. Parts replacement wait times and costs here in the US were on the high side compared to wheel rakes.

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker Před 5 lety +2

      Yes, to slow erosion. Farm around the contours. Our place at Shiner has sandy soils on hills and back then they installed terraces around the contours to minimize erosion.
      Even though it's been in cattle for nearly 50 years the terraces are still there LOL:)

    Oh, I didn't realize you grew your hay between the rows of corn. That's pretty clever, is it for erosion control?

    • @HowFarmsWork
      @HowFarmsWork  Před 5 lety

      Exactly. Farming on the contours causes all of the tractor tires and rows to form mini-terraces as I like to call them which slows erosion.

    • @BornToFarm101MN
      @BornToFarm101MN Před 5 lety +5

      Devonte McNeill it’s so all the hay on the ground gets flipped over. The two rake wheels right behind the tractor are where the windrow is formed. If it didn’t have those the windrow would be formed on top of that damp hay. Better drying this way.

    • @lukestrawwalker
      @lukestrawwalker Před 5 lety

      Yes, called "kicker wheels". They also rake the hay where the windrow will end up off the ground and mix it in with the windrow instead of the hay from the sides just being dumped on top of it, which can mean the baler pickup doesn't pick it up off the ground as well... flipping it over into the path of the other wheels means it gets all rolled together into the windrow, so it picks up cleaner when baled.

      Ryan is located in what's known as the Driftless region of Wisconsin. The glaciers never covered this part of the state, so it is fairly hilly and fields are much more susceptible to erosion damage. I'm located in the southeastern part, where contour farming is rare due to the flatter terrain and more gentle hills.
