  • Dairy farming in Wisconsin! Watch my family and I start making 2nd crop hay. We are using our two New Holland Rolabar rakes as well as our two New Holland small square balers! The tractors pulling the rakes were a 1650 Oliver and a Farmall Super M TA. The tractors pulling the balers were a 686 International and a 7810 John Deere. I hope you all enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!

    I really like your channel. You do things the way we did it when I was a teenager. But I really love that you are keeping this older equipment running and usable. That's amazing. Really like the old Oliver and Farmall. Keep up the good work.

    Our farm we always try very hard to handle cut hay with care, and not run over it with the tractor or work it. My dad was very particular about it. Every time dry alfalfa is handled the leaves slough and the crop loses nutritional content. I can still hear him yelling at me. LOL
    Our New Holland thrower was pulled with a MM M670 propane. Working with the baler from our other farm our record was just over 2,200 bales in one day. We had six people, two balers, six racks, and a lot more energy then. 😂😂

    Really enjoyed the details of equipment maintenance and adjustments. Brings back memories of my childhood. We did small bales, either dropped on the ground and loaded by hand later or with a guy on the hay rack towed behind the baler, then elevator to the hayloft. Was fun to load the elevator with bales inches apart, to make the guys move quickly in the hayloft.
    We had an old reaper for oats, had to go shock the bundles in the field, then haul them to the threshing machine, which was run by a long belt off the tractor. Played a lot in the straw stack.
    God, I really enjoyed my childhood. Thanks for the memories.👏👏

    I really enjoyed this video. Reminded me of growing up in the 80’s square baling hillsides like that with older equipment. Nothing prettier than a freshly baled hay field, especially 2nd cutting. I really admire just how well the farm is kept up.

I spent many a summer behind one of those kick balers stacking the loads on as we had to haul sometimes up to ten miles away so we wanted as many on the load as we could. You always looked out for your buddy to not get a bale in the side of the head!

    I remember when I was about 15, my cousin bought a new JD baler, first one we'd seen with a bale counter that actually worked. We baled 35k bales that summer and I touched every one of them. Pulled baler & wagons with a 175 MF diesel. We milked 12 or so cows by hand back in those days. Milk, eat a little breakfast, hit the hay fields until 6 or so, milk again. Those were the good ol days!

  • @bruceprentice6441
    @bruceprentice6441 Před 2 lety +1

    Great video. I found my milking cows couldn’t tell the difference between small square bales and big round bales, so now they only get big round. I still have a in mow hay drying system in my barn, that we stacked the fresh bales on. It blew air through the hay, and helped cool the hay down and dry out any tough or damp wads of hay. Been milking up to 80 cows now for 42 years, and we are going to transition to beef. Dairy is a young man’s game, and it looks like you have your heart in it . All the best

    Great use of drone and ground level shots with nat sound. Really like the GoPro on top of the NH baler. I have cab tractors with AC for baling today but remember the days of open station tractors. Takes young people with strong arms and motivation. Seems like that is in short supply today…

    It was great seeing the M run, even though it's a later model then the one we had on the farm I grew up on in the 1950's. Still, it must be pushing 70 years old. I spent many a summer hour running H's, cultivating row crops, and very early fall mornings before going to school raking beans for thrashing while the dew was on them. Thanks for the great video work.

    Growing up in Sandhills we put up 2.3 sections of prairie hay using a hay cage.
    Each place puts up hay is different.
    Hay stackers of different types gave way to round bales and big squre bales.

A lot more work when doing the small square bales. New Holland roller bar rake I have one good rakes. Nice video love the older equipment.

    Beautiful farm. Baling like i remember it from the late 60's to mid 70's in Buffalo County. I see you baler came from Eckel Implement. Must be at least 40 years old as I think Eckels closed about the time Allis Chalmers closed up. 1985 I think. Love your video.
