Uncle Fred used to rake it, then used the rake to flip it over after a day or two, then wait a day, then bale it. He used to give us 1.5 cents a bale to get it from the ground to stacked in the barn. Richest 14 year old kid on the block during Forth of July holiday.
Happy to hear that you’re getting help with the baling. That’s what friends and neighbors are for... chances are they’ll need you at times too. Take care and give yourself time to heal.
I've been here since u had 4k subscribers and now u have over 40k it is amazing
@Powrguy Tom Evan does a great editing job. Especially love the aerial shots.
Whenever we worked with our hay, we would do it in the morning before the dew left. We didn't lose as many leaves off of our alfalfa.
My favorite job..... nothing beats tedding.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 I've been praying for your back
Knowing an inexpensive tick from a costly one is the key to most farming.
It’s a good thing you have a nurse for a wife.
I look so forward to all of your videos!! I enjoy them so much that a 10 minute video isn't long enough 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing
Maybe you should get a little less rpm because it is spinning very fast, and blowing a lot of the hay back to you, the tractor and the PTO..
Nice Field of hay. 👍👍👍
putting the covers back on might cut down on the dust getting all over you. that's going to be a lot of bales of hay.
Really like your videos. Brings back a lot of memories of my youth. We a had cow farm and cut and bailed a lot of hay.
That. Was a fun machine. Hope your back is better soon.🌻
The hay field looks great! Glad you see you feeling a bit better! Take care!
Hi...... Evan, (Country View Acres) I love watching your video .Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍
Love your honest approach.
You look like you are feeling better. 👍
Glad to see you out moving around. I've had lumbar back and sciatica issues for years, I feel your pain Evan. Sure enjoy this series and your channel. Thank you!
Love those drone shots. Glad you are doing so much better. May take awhile , a long while to be back to 100 percent. I'm an RN and after all the years taking care of patients I became disabled when I was 62. I've even had a major back surgery with 2 9 inch rods, spinal fusion and 3 disc removed. Yelp, just before retirement, really sucks to not be able to do all the things you once did. You take care and rest your back and don't do more than your back can tolerate until it is healed. Blessings, will continue to pray for you. MiChelle
Glad your feeling better
I’ve never seen that piece of equipment, nice. Love the aerials. I’m glad you have help.😊❤️
A cab on a tractor is a good thing. I've never had one but a GOOD thing.
But all of them dont have AC
K K : Mine does ! Kioti 7320 pcc ! Great tractor !
@@dennishayes65 my Sisu valmet 865 from 1997 doesnt have one since it was an accessory.
You’re farm is looking beautiful, very well done
Glad you're getting better! So happy for you two that your hay cutting is still proceeding, despite the setback. Can't wait to see those bales laying in the field.
You already looks better!!
I’m sure you’ll be fine in a week.
Looks like it’s going good. 👍👍👍
Glad your feeling better God bless you and your family buddy good looking hay field also nice job
As Always you're doing great, I will continue to pray for you and hope that you get better soon. I'm glad that folks are coming to help you get your hay in. Great drone shots.
Love to see some aerial shots of Evan's helpers loading bales in the field.
Great drone footage. Looks like your first haying attempt is going great!
Praying all is well!
Great job, take care of that back! Loving how you are buying fixer upper equipment and staying somewhat budget conscious.
I enjoy your videos keep up the great work...
I hope your back's doing better now.
I hurt my back a few years ago and it took me some
time to get back on my feet again.
But all wet well and now I really watch out for what
I'm doing and how I move, because I never want to
be in such a situation again.
Take care!😊👍🏻
Good job Evan, you’ll get it figured out and working for you !!👍👍. Hope your baling and stacking in the barn goes well for you all. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Excellent Evan that really does a nice job! Can wait to watch it getting all bailed up! Glad your doing better! GOD BLESS!!
Best peice of machinery you own looking good
Gorgeous property
We were blessed with the same back issue lol. I learned if you adjust your lower back it will help. The easy way to do it is to sit in your car or truck and lift your knees to your steering wheel keeping your knees apart. Keep your toes on the floor and heels raised. While doing that try to squeeze your knees together and most of your lower back will adjust back to where it should be and pop a little. It relieves it instantly.
You are wonderful, please take care your back. Thank you for your video
You have done very well
Good to see you're able to make progress on getting the hay into the barn. I'm glad to hear you've got help coming too, you don't want to risk hurting your back again/more (been there, done that, didn't want the t-shirt).
Looks like it Fluffed it up pretty good am glad your doing better cause I’ve watched all your videos and know how much you’ve been Through to get the hay Field going and it looks like your going to get a lot of hay for all your work and pain you’ve gone through 👍👍👍👍👍😊
After watching him mowing. I'm guessing 300-400 bales at 36" long bales.
@@philipblass6544 Tight fit in the area they cleaned out??
Hey I realy like your videoś keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍
I so enjoy your videos and have learned some things about farm life and what not to do to hurt myself. I work retail and I have to watch how much I lift.
Evan, You're becoming a real farmer now !
Glad your doing better than a few days ago!
Thats a surprise, I almost thought that tedder was brand new, looks really good!
You’re a tough guy to be out there working, back injuries are no joke! Glad you’re going to have help lifting those bales once they’re done!
In my experience you can spend a lot of valuable summer time working out where that ticking is coming from and still not find. Good to see you moving around just take it easy and do not do too much. Hay crop looks good
Glad your back is doing better!!! If you run it right after cutting it won’t be as dusty and if you have any clover you won’t loose as many leaves. Can’t wait to see the bailing footage, take care and have a good day.
Nice,take it slow or it hurt your back more, takecare and God bless
Good footage
Good to see you up and nearly about, I have back probs from time to time. Also good to see you taking half of each mower row, that way that way you pull the center out to dry. I ran a Haybob for many years, that method will stop the crop balling up.
So sorry to hear you've hurt your back. Watched parking bay vid so I know you're doing much better. Stay safe!😊
Take it easy and get well
Shift to a higher gear and run less rpms and it won’t cover you in hay. Tedders don’t take much rpms to work properly
you are absolutely right in making sure your hay is dry before baling. a friend of mine baled his a little too soon in order to go on a trip and it went through a heat curing process that let to spontaneous combustion and he lost all the hay and his wooden hay shed. haste certainly can produce waste. please take care of your back as you will need it later in life............g
It's great that your getting help. Take care and don't strained ypurself. It's not worth it.
At first I thought it was a super drone. See Chiropractor👍🐱👤
Evan, I found this site today "just a few acres farm" and this owner knows his hay process. learned so much. he explains everything and demos also. I believe you could pick up some very good tips watching his videos.
Love you vids ❤️
Rpm looks to be a little too high. We run our rpm just high enough to flip it and maybe toss it out just a little.
I know you're still not 100% but you definitely LOOK like you're feeling better. We could tell you were in a lot of pain in the last few vids. Good friends and family willing to help out is a blessing. Continue healing, and keep up the good work!
Good video
The best time to Ted Hay is right after it is mowed I use a 730 case same as the one you have nice little tractor
Glad to see your feeling better Evan. Try not to over do it. Hi to Rebekah.
For sciatic from a ruptured disc, try an inversion table for 5 minutes right before bed and 5 minutes right when you wake up. For 2 weeks. It's the only thing that helped me. Takes the weight off and stretches the 2 vertebrae apart a little bit. Feels so good!!
My dad always made me start in the center of the field so when the field was done the tractor would not pack down a path that wouldn't dry as well. We also had the old style "kicker" tedder.
In my day I looked back more than I looked ahead.
There are some rough operators out there and your tedder looked like it was owned by one who wasn’t fit to own a wheelbarrow, well done for saving it.
the tedder turns the other way! You must put it on a tractor with a turn to the opposite of the case. greetings from galicia spain !
Hello i think it turns in the right direction. The camera let it look wrong
Must feel great final making your own hay. Very nice job
Yes, I am glad it is done. Now I can work on ther projects for the next few weeks.
When we bailed hay on our farm we hook the wagon to the baler, had 1 person drive tractor, than 2 people on wagon to stack the hay, that way everything was done at one time,than went to barn & unloaded the wagon
Lucky for you, here in Europe we can't mow grass this month due to huge rainining, we will have good corn this year but not so much hay.
You should keep that case tractor since its diesel. And maybe someday give it a paint job it would be great. They will never make tractors that good again
That tractor 🚜 runs on gas
Sorry to hear your back is still hurting hope it doesn't for much longer. It'll feel better when it stops hurting 😂
Your tedder looks great. I broke my tedder in the last hay field. The grass was too heavy. Five acres made 60 4x5 bales. Luckily I won't have any more hay for a while.
If you want to load the bales onto a trailer, you should have one guy driving the tractor/truck slowly along the lines of bales, two or more people on the ground and one or two (depending on the size of the trailer) persons on the trailer. The ground people throw the bales up to the people on the trailer, and they stack them. At least thats how we have done it, back when i helped out on a small farm.
Benjamin Köppler problem is, these days you cant find enough willing people(usually young men) who have the strength to do that job!
It looks like it worked pretty good, ciatìque nerve pain is a bugger. I have had it on and off for 35 years. I hope that you don't have my luck, l was younge and dumm in my mid twenties. I didn't listen to my body. I wish you the best and l will pray for you
Having the tedder on hand is a good thing for the reasons you mentioned. I'd just leave those square tube guards off of the tedder. They bounce a lot & end up breaking to the point they could get caught on the tedding arms, not good. Stay safe.
Get well.
Evan you might want to consider purchasing a lumbar support . I used to work in PT and saw a lot of miserable back patients ;’radiating pain down your leg could be a bulging disc so be especially careful with your body mechanics as you start feeling better .I enjoy watching you work now being retired myself Good luck
GREAT VIDEO! don't wreck your back, trust me, its not worth it!
Ticking sound is normal - they all do that. As for the people talking about the RPMs and the hay blowing around - this machine is made for wet and or green hay. What he is tedding is dry, so it's going to blow around like that. RPMs are fine, you could speed up the tractor a little.
At 61, I've had my pains and surgeries, but nothing has brought me pain like a siatic nerve issue. If it gest too bad, it is a long road back. Don't push that issue, you will regret it. Good luck with all of that, I hate not being able to be active.
Pathway to the field where your dad trimmed branches looks nice. Hope your back heals properly. Stretching hamstrings will help. You don't want to become a broken down farmer before your time.
You do need the covers on. Hope your back gets better fast.
I dont usually subscribe but I like your content.
I like it
excellent!!!!!.... very good.... no more tedding..... there will be too much leaf loss on your alfalfa... rake and bale is next... cool.... my guess was 300 hundred bales first cut.... its gonna be awesome.. .. thx....
One thing you can do it lay on the floor in front of the couch, leift your legs up and let rest on the couch so that your thighs go straight up and your knees are bent 90 degrees. What this does is reduce the lordotic curvature in your back and helps reduce the pressure on the disks in your back... Even if you has a slight herniated disc, this can sometimes pull it back in so pressure on the nerves in the back is reduced... Tumeric is one of the best natural anti inflamatiories, so you may try that as well
We are located on a farm in west central minnesota and we don't actually ted hay and our hay turns out just fine. We bale hay the old way with the old haybine a old new holland rake and a old new holland small square baler.
Watch the bolts that hold the arms on the Tedder, they break occasionally. Should be metric bolts and studs, good to have a few on hand. Also bend the arms so that they are all the same level if they aren’t, they bend pretty easily so if you hit something they get messed up sometimes.
Great Vid,
I would suggest finding a solid chiropractor.. it can be a game changer... (definitely before any surgical options... most don't fix)
Stay Safe
When I went to look at our tractor, my wife decided for me that I needed a cab. I'm so glad she did. Dad has always had open station tractors. Unfortunately, I have nasty allergies, so the cab allows me to do what needs to be done without coming home all snotty and sneezing. Plus, in the summer heat, I can get off work and go out and mow regardless of the temp as I sit in my nice air conditioned cab.
I'm glad that you are better. It's always wise to rest and taking movement with caution. Certainly prayer is an awesome resource. I hurt my back when I was 15. Will be 69 this year. It's not good to push until healed. However, it's not wise to just stop. Everyone is different take time to heal as you work through the healing. Blessings to you and your wife. ☝🙏👉...
Its the chain on the PTO guard thats making the ticking as the pto spins it chetches every few seconds and yanks the chain a bit mine does it.
Ya want my back. You can have it. !!
I am glad to hear you are going to except help . You need to listen to your wife and take the time to go to a doctor that understands back pain. I ‘m thinking you have only seen the E.R. Doctor at the hospital. Slow down ,don’t rush. God bless all those that are going to help, there are some wonderful people in the world.
