I am retired now but your videos let me remember all those jobs we did on our dairy every year to keep the cows fed and comfortable. Great job and keep up the effort!
Love the use of older equipment. It's nice to see other families still using older tractors.
🥰 just like at home in Germany, the barn Scene...
My childhood-work and still actually.
Love it.
Old school 💪🏼!
I am 42 years old been doing this for all my life since I was 12 and was able to run the tractor and still loving it
Ryan...I really enjoyed this video, as much of what you captured is exactly what we did back in the early 60's. My Grandpa had two similar tractors and a pto driven elevator. He used an IH baler with thrower and some homemade trailers for catching and transporting. My job, as a 12 year old was to shuttle the wagons, hook up the pto, unload and then stack bales in the barn. Hard work for a kid. While the equipment is way better, the work still needs to be done. Your videos captures the essence of the farming life and this 66 year old retiree enjoys the memories that they conjure up.
Most people think farming is just riding around in an air conditioned cab all day just counting the money. This is a great video showing part of the grunt work involved with the job.
KawiRider I am 10 and I live on a farm it's hard sometimes
I remember my days on the dairy farm growing up loading hay or straw by hand onto wagons then stacking in the loft very hard work indeed
Memories of when I was young not even a man yet. We had a John Deere cross feed wire tie in partner with dad's brother. Didn't need so many of them to make a load. 2 bales just fit across the wagon. Later we got a sting tie and dad shortened the bales a little, I think it was 88 on a load then. Brought up some good memories, thanks to all that worked for the camera.
I loved working on the dairy farm. Throwing hay bails up in the loft was the hardest job I loved the most. Couldn’t imagine doing it now at my age.
I kinda like seeing videos on your channel of you guys helping friends out. Fun to see other people's equipment and what they do vs what you guys don't anymore, like small square baling!
Can't beat those old-timers, you gotta keep them going
Great to see a McCormick. They are very popular here in Western Kentucky.
I'm in the Bardstown just outside Louisville area in Kentucky. I've always wondered about McCormick tractors. How are they as far as dealer support. What if any are their biggest drawbacks? Thanks in advance bigtractorpower
This tractor tractor is farmall McCormick I don't know if still Deering but they were great my grandfather had few on farm I still have 38 f14. As McCormick they are now separate as with deering. But from what I have heard McCormick is still a great tractor.
If this was a typical day, I'm amazed at how much manual labor you still do. I had the impression that a modern farm had machines to do everything.
Old school bailing I remember those days long ago on my grandfathers dairy farm, thanks. Larry
As the youngest on a NH farm before much automation and with hilly hay fields, I'd be the one walking on the low side of the hay wagon traveling on a slant across the hills throwing bales up onto the wagon from the field. Then stacking inside a barn loft in 95+ degree humid heat with no air movement with dust til I was covered with a black film...... those were good days to be young and strong.
Nice seeing some of the old time equipment still being used
Been a pile of years since I rode a hay wagon, stacking bales. Thanks for sharing.
Love that baler! First time seeing a "real" one with the "flinger" on it. Very fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Haha i love how the bales just fly into the trailer 😂
My friend farmer has an H like this one,a 1953;he got the call from one of his neighbor who s dad had passed away and had the tractor stored in a barn for 10 years!We open the barn door,started the tractor like nothing and got to the farm with it!I raked and hauled small square hay bales wagoins with that tractor and 2 times i got out of gas just entering the farm driveway coming back from raking!The tractor i had got a road gear which was good for hauling wagons!my friend still use his tractor in pulling events.
Ryan, that old H Farmall is still running after 50 - 60 years! Not a SINGLE tractor y'all own will have that time legacy. There! got that off my chest! Born and raised on a NC hog, peanut, corn, watermelon, soybean and tobacco...etc. farm from 50's to 90's. Now just an old retired boy with a passion for restored old Farmalls! (got 7 and want more IHCC Chapter #37 check it out, over 6000 members in the entire club chapters) Those old Tractors built this country! Enjoy your vids...and good luck on your farm day!!! Show them how the "salt" of the Earth works!!!!! Wayne in NC.
I don't know if the 8235R or the 7600 will still be running but I'd say that the 4020 and the 4640 could last 50 - 60 years. The 4020 has only got 10 years to go until 60 and it's already been 50.
Great video guys. Brings back fon memories of putting up straw for the winter.
Take me back as a kid in Michigan Farm growing up. thank you for the Video
Wow, this really brings back some great memories, I learned how to plant, cut bail and haul and stack square bails as a kid with my future father inlaw. I would not trade all that hard work for anything. It taught me many life lessons. We have been married 40 years and when he passed away I lost my best friend. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. God bless.
As bad I as hated it growing up, I sure do miss putting up small square bales now! Definitely keeps you in shape!
Beautiful countryside and excellent drone work!
thanks for sharing,
regards

I could stand out there and watch that machine toss bales all day! Never seen one in real life, but, somehow it just tickles me to watch it run here.
Yup did it all as a young lad even the Mccormick deering farmall. The bales but had no self loading bales to the wagon!!!.
The elevator up to the loft yes did that too great video of times passed really enjoyed it thanks.
I want a baler and trailer like that. Those older balers are cool
I've done plenty of that in my younger days. We didn't have a corn dump to put it in the barn, that was my job from a 30 foot long Donahue trailer with about 400 bales on it. I used a hook and got pretty good at slinging them into the barn loft. Good video
I remember when I was a kid, we used to love helping out with the baling. We'd ride along in the big trailer, and stack the bales as they came off the baler - which didn't throw them like this one does :).
I did that square bale hauling stuff back in the late 70's when I was a teen for $5.00 an hour and it kicked my ass... I was in training for football, so that was what I mostly did it for... the money was not bad for that time either!
I did pretty good at the football part, so it was a great experience.. I only did it for a couple of seasons of High School football, but it was an experience for sure! Hard Ass work for sure!
Great video Ryan and the crew
That was a cool history lesson!
Green snot is what I remember from stacking bales in a barn back in the late '60's.
Takes me back, like 40 years
Glad that wasn't my wagon the way he was bouncing the bales off the back of it! Them balers make the best bales.
Very suprised to see you stacking them one on top of the other on the the trailer! In the uk we stack each layer opposite to the last to tie them in,makes the load much more stable.
Same here in Ireland, and the first rows on the edge.
We stack them like that (stack each layer opposite.. to Interlocking them) also in Georgia, US.
Same here opposite direction on each level. I can fit 330 2 string bales on a 40ft gooseneck trailer 6 layers high. I pick it up and load by hand in Salt lake City Utah and tow it back to Las Vegas 3 times a week. So it's critical to lock each layer together so I don't kill someone on the highway as well as loose any of load on the highway
here in South Africa too
most people who know how to do it right do stack them in different directions, not saying that they did it wrong its just not the best way to do it.
Beautiful place in the world you guys live in
A job I do not miss!!! Putting straw and hay in the hay mou.......
Looks like a Kewanee elevator. We had one similar, but had a motor instead of PTO. Had to fire the motor up and engage the chain, in order to raise and lower it.
Nice, one of your better video's
When we were young on the farm, we had an actual square bale elevator and it was real nice. Something happened to it (can't remember) but after that we use one of our two flight elevators like pictured in this video. We always had to be careful dropping bales on the elevator when unloading wagons. Sometime if we dropped a bale on the flight, it would cut/bust one or both strings!
My dad use to be able to get over 100 bales pile on a pickup. I still don't know how he did it, but BOY WAS IT TOP HEAVY!!!!
That ole H is the best tractor on the farm 💪👍
I remember as a young lade In the fields loading wagons and unloading into the barns, hey or staw etc. man it makes one stay in shape. Maybe this is the problem today.
Love your farm and that beautiful house. Wish I didn't use up my back in construction and rock wall building, otherwise I would get out of California and go to where its green again in the summer. Not many of us can work like you guys do anymore. Most are on disability or growing dope here in California.
Stacking small bales is hard work !
we didn't have the wagons or conveyors we had to pick up the bales off the field and load them on trucks by hand then throw them up to the loft by hand from the trucks
Jason Crocker We did too.
We call them 'mankillers' in Australia !
Wow! We used to do all that by hand!!...and back!!!
Aaahhhh the good ol days
that is awesome PTO raised,i use a hand crank on the one i worked with
Back in the early 70s on gramps dairy farm We put up hay with a crew of five uncle Jim on the wagon gramp driving the bailer one kid unloading and 2 in the hay loft. Now 1 person with a round bailer can in air conditioned comfort do the same job. I do still think of the good old days though. Oh and the largest tractor we had at the time was an IH M.
That is so hard work tossing them bales of hay. About 3-4 years ago I helped a friend go get two loads of I believe about 300 bales each load it may have been more or less. He sold it at his feed store and he had 3 or 4 horses.
I've always been an ih guy, especially the old letter series. My new land management contract the owner wanted JD. I like the new one but something about old iron is just better looking and sounding.
lmao I love how the baler just launches the bales out the back of it
Udgdgdhr
Less labour, you do that need someone in the wagon to stack the bales
Back when we ran our feedlot we used to only bale round bales to feed to the cows and horses never did do little bales but I don’t doubt the hassle of doing them but I was one of the main people moving the hay with a tractor.
heck yea farmall is the way to go
We would save ourselves some work by hooking the final wagon on the the baler, disengage the thrower, and pull the bales out with a bale hook and then stack on the wagon. Saved a lot of extra work.
Nice vid, see you at the farm day
13:04 I love that jd don’t know what model it is but man it’s nice.
Lovely video. Couldn't make hay that way today. Too much labour. Cost a fortune. I did lots of it in seventies. Labour was cheap then. Nice work but tough work. Every bale handled many times usually on the end of a pitch fork 😥😥
That's one heck of a kicker baler 😂
Nice way to load bales in the shade
Need to find a nice flat bed for big red to mover your round bales or these. Might as well put the truck to use now that you have it.
Great video
amigo yo nose donde esta gravado este lugar pero veo que ustedes son unas persona muy agradables y me gusta ese anviente de familia los felicitó desde houston tx
I'm old,but in summer 1969, I bucked hay and straw bales. IIRC, straw was lighter, hay was back breaking work. and the balers did not throw the bales into a trailer, we humans did.I was 5' 7" and weighed 125 lbs.Not complaining, just hope kids today have it easier.
That Baler looks good, possibly needs a more powerful/better tractor and a bigger trailer but for a medium to small scale farmer that baler looks solid.
Man I would have had my arse handed to me for loading a trailer that way. You don't drop bales string down on a paddle elevator. Pull the wagon ahead so the conveyor is at standing with bale height.
Very good video...
In Germany we made 3000 small bales of straw and hay
miss my days stacking hay in the barn
Memories of my childhood at my uncles farm in LaValle.
We had an elevator just like that only with an electric drive motor on it when I was a kid. Wish I had a dollar for every bale that went up that thing. I don't much miss the little square bales tho. So time consuming and back breaking late night work cuz I'm sure you know you baled in the afternoon milked that evening then after milking was done you gathered the hay and put it in the barn that night!!
Ryan you should come to the badger steam and engine show this weekend in Baraboo
Those bales look very light, not like I used to manhandle back in the 70s in the UK
Robert S give us our six counties back
Farmall power
Them farmalls pretty nice ain't they. Gotta rear facing loght
Can't go wrong with the great American Farmall H they don't build them like that anymore.
Noel Hohberger That is why you don't see a two banger on the elevator.
I'm aware!
@America I love people like you
keep acting like you know what your talking about.
Finally put the baler tractor inna higher gear! Holy crap thats insane if that newer baler cant bale silly straw faster than that
Good vlog
never seen a baler hooked up to a trailer and launching the bales onto it before
lol this was filmed at the same time travis did the live stream on his channel a few weeks ago..
the video is called "the crew" I just realized that now
I used to bale small squares by my self and pick up by my self so try that sometimes.
This brings back memories of what we used to do on our family farm. We used to bale about 4,000 small bales and then we switched over to square and round bales
Good vid
Pretty good old H to rip outa there in road gear like that.
Will Putting oil on the chain like you did in the video contaminate the hay at all?
It's straw which is used as animal bedding. Not eaten by the cows generally.
That's pretty much how we do hay at my place except we have someone riding on the wagon stacking
This beats working a regular 9-5 any day. Wish I had grown up on a farm. I would love to get one of my own but it's not in the books for me.
I used that same farmall H today raking to bail
I think you should have followed the baled in the field with the gooseneck. Would be quite a ride to see bales flung over your head. That thing has some oopmh behind it!
That's a Hesston baler with red paint and case ih decals case and Hesston had a deal in the late 80s and 90s on hay equipment together
That was called a big tractor back when I was 7 yrs old .We had it as our big tractor on the farm as well .Our's was an H
we do this every year but i usally stand on the bale trailer and stack them while they r getting thrown at me but we usally have like 30 trailers to load so we get more bales on if we stack them
We farm with old tractors on our farm in Minnesota
That trailer is impressive. I didn’t think it would hold that many but 112 is quite a lot. Have you ever tried to catch one after it shoots them out the back of the baler?
Thats an old time elevator, ours was yellow , you forgot the bale hooks in the barn. our dog always rode on the top of the bale wagon. cheers.
That is a Owatonna elavater, my brother has one. Top of the line back in the day.
We were just at a restaurant yesterday here in Ohio, they had a Farmall Tractor out front on display. I think they still use it for parades...but man...where was the A/C????lol....great video as always
Jim Estep, your air conditioning is called 5th gear and full throttle
lol
right you are
Can you control where it shoots the bale from the inside of the tractor like when your going straight can you make it go from the left side of the wagon to the right side of the wagon? I have never seen them work like that in person.
If I had stacked bales in straight columns like that, I would have got quite a lecture.
OldTractors Me too.
If we had stacked it any other way, we wouldn't have had room for all the bales.
OldTractors He would have got the same amount of Bales on if he did just learn how to tied them in. I'm sure there's probably video somewhere that would show the process, but it is America you can do what I wants!!
