Getting The Versatile Swather Ready To Cut.
#farming #swathing #farm
In this video we get the Versatile swather pulled out of the grass where it has been parked for the last 3 years.
Glen needed to swap out a roller bar that the canvas runs on and he repacked the wheel bearings on the tires. Everything else seems pretty much good to go.
Specific parts for these swathers are obsolete now so we are thankful that we have old swathers for parts.
This swather takes about 25 minutes to put in and out of transport. It is such a pain. Glen said a neighbour that used to farm next to us had a model one generation newer than ours and thinks enough people complained and they changed the design to make it easier to move around.
We start swathing Monday August 26 so wish us luck!!
Take care,
Annette

#farming #greenfeed #ranch We have been so busy this last month actually getting to do farm work that I have been a little behind on the content. What a great problem to have, really!! This video was filmed the first week of August. The rain we had has indeed got the crops moving along so there will be lots of fun content coming up. Take care, Annette

Zip is the best! Happy dog day Zip!
☺️☺️😁😁
"Getting the versatile swather ready for cutting is an exciting step in preparing for harvest! 🚜🌾 This piece of equipment will make a big difference in efficiently managing your crops. Here’s to a smooth and productive cutting season! 🌟👌"
Dogs are the best ❤
Awesome equipment! Amazed with how you operate such a huge farm! Stay happy and blessed, friends! ❤
Zipp is such a big help in the garden. 😂 His favourite vegetables are green shelling peas and green beans. His least favourite are carrots and beets.
Good thing you know how to fix it yourself, saves a lot of pennies☺
That’s so true, Anne! 🌺
Watched this and enjoyed watching Glen Get it up and running. Darn equipment doesn’t like sitting idle. Ryan came in and watched it again. Brought back memories of his adolescent youth. Always working on equipment in the field
Thanks Lisa and Ryan! Glen is a magician working on this old equipment, that’s for sure. I’ve earned my badge helping to get this into transport mode. What a job that is. Take care! 🌺
Here to learn the farming lingo and teachings with Annette and Glen!
@@northerngirlhobbies thanks so much Jen! We are super excited to be doing some farming this year! Take care. 🌺
@TheCowEmporium I look forward to those days eventually! Right now the garden at home, chickens, etc are keeping us busy. Alex is building a tiny house in the meantime. Loving the farm lessons Annette.
Good jop
@@vs123 thanks friend!!
My goodness that seems likr a lot of work with those canvas's ,but well worht it im sure!! I cant wait to see this in action!! Never a dull moment with Glenn!! The newbie...😁😁 Thank you both for bringing us along!! 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much Nelson! Honestly, everything about this swather is so much work!! Plan to get her fired up tomorrow morning. We are just watching your video now. Nice to have help!!
LOL 11:02 !!!! I won't say it....cuz I know of I do what happens. It's how it works around here. I can't wait to see this thing in operation. Haha @ "it might be older than me"
@@BroqueCowgirlHomestead it happens exactly like you say Gwen. All you have to do is think it sometimes! 😂 Going to make this girl go round and round tomorrow! Take care!
Congratulations on your 2k milestone! 🎉
@@SimplyJanHomestead thank you!!!! 🥰
Hey there Glenn and Annette! I learn new terms for equipment from y’all every time I watch! You definitely know what you’re doing! Have an amazing week!
@@SimplyJanHomestead thanks Jan! Glen is very patient helping me to learn the ropes.
Hope all is well for you
@@DaveCollierCamping hi Dave! We are doing well. Excited to get our crop harvest started tomorrow. I’m going to stop by and see you right now. I thought I saw a garden/yard update. Take care. 🌺
Any jackrabbits this year?
We have a family living around the yard but thankfully they haven’t made it through the fence into the big garden!
Thanks for replying
Hello, I’m your 18th Thumbs up. I’m New here watching from a Saturday Garden Share video where I saw your nice comment. I enjoy gardening videos. I joined your TH-cam channel/family. 1:56 Right there’s never just one pest. 2:14 Yummy harvest!!! I have gardening videos, but I took this year off. I learn as I go with Gardening. 4:01 You have Great Dark soil. We have all sand that’s my struggle. 4:58 Nice Cabbage. Pests are the struggle for sure. 5:39 I just posted spider shorts. Thank You for sharing your wonderful Garden. 😊😊😊 Sharon in SC
Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I’ll try to make it by soon. Have a great week! Take care, Annette 🌺
This is so beautiful to watch! 😊❤
Thank you Tammy!! 🌺
Love all the carrots and beets! 😍
Four years ago I would not have believed anyone if they told me I’d be selling beets and carrots by the bushel! 🤩😂
I love the garden boxes you do!! How awesome that is for the people who get them! Your garden looks amazing and it looks like it’s still producing for you!! 😊🙌❤️those darn critters! We’ve had our share too!
Thanks so much Tammy!! 🌺
Woohooo! Show us more!
🌺🙌
all you need are a few rabbits and some deer they will harvest and clean up the spot for you!
@@FlourEggsYeast that’s very true!! 😅😅 Thankfully the rabbits just hang out in the yard outside the garden. We had to fence it a few years ago to keep them out. The deer seem to leave our yard alone for the most part. They are hard on flowers and trees! Take care. 🌺
Oh yeah!!!! Cant wait to see more of this!!! 😁😁😁😁😁
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar thanks Nelson!
What will you be cutting with this? Barley? Oats?
Those are the two crops we have to harvest this year!!
By using the machine the rolling work becomes easier. Thanks for sharing. 1 LIKE for the video. Greetings from Singapore.
That’s for sure! These round balers are awesome!
Great work! thumbs up...
Thanks so much!!! 🌺 Hope you are well.
You have been busy with feed 😉 I so enjoy seeing you guys , Rich and Holly's progress in the garden!! Amazing update, sounds like things are going well!! 😁😁👌🏻👌🏻
We will feed the people this way or that!! The garden has played second fiddle this year because we are actually doing some farm work. 😬😁 I do love the challenge of making it all work. You’re right, Rich and Holly have grown a great amount considering the rain they’ve had this year and all the garden that was flooded. Thanks so much for watching Nelson! We appreciate your time. There should be a riveting video on getting our swather going coming out soon…😂 Take care!
@@TheCowEmporiumAlways!! I saw the short and super excited now 😉😉😁😁
Incredible growing space. So many garden pests this year Annette. Enjoyed the tour. I love that you are doing the garden boxes.
Thanks so much Jen! I love doing the garden boxes! I have a great group of customers that encourage me to get out there and keep doing it! Take care! 🌺
@@TheCowEmporiumthe motivation is key!
Great garden update
Thank you so much! 🌺
This year is flying by! Faster than normal. Lol. Garden looks great and despite the challenges, still looks great. It’s been the year for pests and critters here too. Not the typical. Weird. Love those garden boxes! Your corn looks so good considering the beating it took! Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Lisa! You are the champion gardener this year! Seems like everything has tried to stop you but you are so determined and I’m getting strength from you my friend! 🌺
@@TheCowEmporium well good! Because I have gotten it from you the past 4 years!
Hey friend.. it's been awhile..so busy right here.. watching while im in the long line at grocery shopping store 🤣🤣🤣
Heya friend! We are so busy right now it seems. Thank you for finding time, I appreciate you!!! 🌺
Your garden looks amazing. I have to admire all your second plantings as we just have energy for one. Love you still have peas, lettuce and spinach.
Thank you! We sometimes wonder if we have the energy too. 😅
I look so forward to growing season and so forward to harvest and canning season! Then I rest! ❤ Annette your garden looks amazing! 💕
Thanks so much Jan! It’s a busy time for sure!
Beautiful garden Annette lol I don't care for spiders but we do usually have some like that one and like Gwen said Carolyn told me it's a good one. Hope you have a blessed night.
Thanks so much! I put a marker by that spider so I don’t accidentally grab it picking peas or beans. 😬 Take care. 🌺
Thanks for the tour 🙂Plants are doing well. So nice that you can make your granny happy and bring her some peas ❤I bet she loved that.
Thank you so much! She loved that for sure. 🌺
Your garden looks great!!!! And yes, that's a little bitty orb Weaver spider. They are good ones. I had one in my barn up until a few days ago that it's body was about an inch across and an inch and a half long. I don't know what happened to her, web and all is gone.
Thanks so much Gwen!! I thought I’d lost that spider today but I found her. I don’t want to accidentally step on her. I wish she liked the pasture better or anywhere else really….😭😜 I need to catch up with what’s happening at your place. I’ll be by soon! Take care. 🌺
@@TheCowEmporium It's been a busy week. lol
So good
Thank you! 🌺
Beautiful vegetables and corn garden. Thanks for sharing the update. A big LIKE for the video. Greetings from Singapore.👍
Thank you very much! We appreciate your time! Take care. 🌺
New sub from NB, Canada and referral from AnneHeyns 🙂
That’s so sweet! Welcome! 🌺
Checking in for the first time thanks for sharing
Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping in! 🌺
Wow, thay feed sure looks good!! That noise had me worried, on the baler but seems to be fine 😁😁 You sure seem exicted, so nice to know y'all have feed!! Thank you for the update, look fwd to seeing whats next!! 👍🏻👍🏻😁😁
Heya Nelson! We would be having a different conversation if we didn’t make feed this year that’s for sure. Hope your week is going great. We will stop by today when it’s too hot to work and catch up on your videos!
@TheCowEmporium Thank you both so much!! Stay cool as possible, feels like fall here this week. Low humidity and 70's and Low 80's
I enjoy watching tractors work in the fields
The neighbours are getting busy combining right now. It’s fun to watch for sure!
Hey friends. This is just a quick video I took of baling up our green feed oats. We have been so busy the last couple of weeks that Glen and I have been working separately most of the time so taking video is more than a little challenging. When the harvest gets started there should be some new videos on repairing machinery and getting our barley, oats and wheat put up. Questions and comments are always welcome. Though, if your comment is rude, mean or unnecessarily obnoxious it’ll just get hidden along with you. Take care friends, Annette🌺
So much science and info into cutting green feed and hay. I find it fascinating and happy you have plenty right now. Get it ! Great job
Thanks so much Lisa!
Nice to have a machine to make the bales- imagine how hard it must have been for the ancient people☺
Hi Anne! It was so much work even when Glen’s family first started farming here but they had a lot less land to farm at that time. As the big equipment came along a lot more land was being farmed! Hope you are well. Take care, Annette🌺
I like meadows
Me too friend!! 🌺
It amazes me how you can just touch it and tell that it’s not quite ready yet. It looked perfect to me but what do I know 😂😂😂. Thanks for sharing and y’all stay blessed! -Calvin
Heya! It takes a little practice to able to tell if the swath is dry enough to bale…😂😂😂 but I’d bet you would catch on quick! Take care Calvin. 🌺
Your right its gorgeous. Hope you have a grest week
Thank you! You too. 🌺
Probably just a rock.... that can cause damage? 😊
It can if the rock decides not to leave. Most often the rock just leaves on its own. It can be super noisy before it bounces out. 😅
at first I thought it said mooing cows but if we wait long enough...
Haha! Yes, indeed. 😉
