  • John Davis chooses to farm using a number of tools and techniques from almost a hundred years ago because he finds it the most profitable way for his operation. Here, John harvests and stores loose hay with his horses.

    As a boy in the 1950's, I pulled a wagon and hay loaders, except with a Allis-Chalmers D14. Love your video.

    I saw all the hardware for this operation on my grandfather's barn but never saw it in action. I was of the small square bailer era and spent many a summer bailing hay and straw on the farm. Cool to still see the old methods used and like you stated, the equipment couldn't be much cheaper

    Grandpa drove the Graham truck to pull the hay loader while Dad did the loading. Then Mom drove the Rockne to raise the loaded hay forks to the peak of the barn, then Dad rolled the forks to where he wanted, pulled the release rope for the forks to open and drop the hay. I remember well. 😄

      Hay doe horses is a fossil fuel, Fossil fuels are made from decomposing plants and animals. These fuels are found in the Earth's crust and contain carbon and hydrogen, which can be burned for energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas are examples of fossil fuels.

    Except for using only one horse on the pully this is exactly the way my grandfather and uncle, Edward and Arlyn Schneider did it in the 1950s in Caledonia, Columbia County, WI.

    How is this method better than modern bales?

    • @ruedaricardo
      @ruedaricardo Před rokem

      Exactly my thoughts. Two horses and a stationary baler would be more cost efficient than modern setups. However when you factor the amount of hay you need and the small time windows nature gives you, the balance starts to tilt towards the modern balers.

    • @RuralHeritage
      @RuralHeritage  Před rokem +4

      John will tell you it makes better hay that stores better in the mow. For his operation, it requires less labor. In fact, when his kids were very young, he did the entire operation alone. The investment is very small compared to modern tractors, haybines and balers. He raises his own horses and raises their feed himself.

      @@RuralHeritage Ich habe das Video gesehen, als er es alleine machte. Er arbeitete oben auf dem Heuboden und die Pferde arbeiteten unten nach seinen Befehlen, die er von oben rief. Dieses Video hat mich so beeindruckt, ich werde es nicht vergessen. Für mich die beste Demonstration alter, durchdachter Technik.
      Eine Person konnte diese Arbeit alleine bewältigen, mit Hilfe gut ausgebildeter Pferde, Seilen und Umlenkrollen. John arbeitet hart. Er beherrscht die alten Techniken, wie kein anderer. Gut für ihn, das er unabhängig ist.
      Schön, daß alles noch gezeigt werden kann!
      Viele Grüße und weiterhin Gutes Gelingen!
