70 years ago or so I grew up on a farm in Pierce County WI. Our farm was not as hilly as yours but, some of our neighbors fields were very steep. We had an old Case hand tie wire baler. We pulled with a JD A and loaded the bales on a towed wagon. One day we were baling for a neighbor on a rather steep side hill. Bob, the owner was stacking bales on the wagon, my Dad was managing the needles and threading wires, I was tying the wires and a young kid named Butch was driving. As we were coming along we were going to cross a ravine that had a small gully running through it. We hollered up to Butch to take it easy across the ditch. So, Butch care fully worked the tractor through the ditch and then shoved the throttle forward. I was damn near thrown off my seat. Of course all the bales dumped off the wagon and down the hill. I’m sure the only thing that saved Butch’s life was Bob’s legs got all tangled up in haywire as he leaped from the wagon and charged the tractor. Later when we were reloading the wagon from the downhill side, Bob said with a laugh, “you know this is harder the second time.”
Not many small farms left in Wisconsin sure enjoy watching all your videos your family brings back a lot of great memories for me from when I was younger and helping grandpa on his the farm!!
ah the rare beauty of the 1066 and farmall m with there own sounds brings back fond memories making hay what beautiful drone shots like those I H tractors as i grew with them keep up the good work
glad to see the Farmall M, we had Allis Chalmers (WC & WD) which we used to rake, haul wagons & the elevator to the hay mow. they didn't have the HP for other things!
Good to see that 1066 running the baler . I have a 1066 with white Deluxe cab that I run my baler with and I have a IH 720 5 bottom plow that I use too
Great video, and really great drone work! Don't apologize to those of us that know what you are doing, keep educating the people who DON'T know what you are doing. ProAGtive education! 👍👍
At 3:15 looks like River is really getting her exercise on!! At 4:18; I was wondering if you could use the 7810 to pull both rakes in a "V" formation to cut fuel, labor and wear and tear? At 11:42 those power grease guns sure make it much more efficient to grease equipment and easier. At 13:33 something about bailing is very interesting. And the thrower seems to work so well. GREAT video!!
Hey guys love yalls videos thanks for posting them.... after the cab shot of Mason in the ole international it looks like the steering wheel was coming off, you guys flat cover some ground... I have an old 273 hayliner as well I just had to rebuild the pick up and finger slide assembly, tested her out yesterday, made 52 bales only had 6 miss ties I wouldn't know how to act if my baler never missed like you guys seem to just run flawlessly very impressed with yalls hay videos 👍👍👏👏
seeing you open the gate and your dad drive through brings back memories of my time working on a dairy farm as a teenager I always had to open and close the gates while the farm owner drove in and then I could drive in and get off my tractor and close the gates .....
Had a #281 that made 16X18" bales. 1960's model, and it would make you fit stacking behind the thrower. 80# alfalfa bales were what I liked to make. 💪😂
You guys ever thought of using double rake bridge hitch to pull 2 with one tractor,I know your steep ground may not let you use one. Ever make doubles to bale faster?? Sorry for the ???s. Brother is moving on there,had a good teacher no doubt 👍👍!! Thanks to all!!!
Aaron, on your previous baling video when you were running the 7810 and big baler, you mentioned that it wasn't throwing bales far into the wagon. Watching your dad run in this video it seems to be getting them to the back of the wagon, was there an adjustment that made the difference? Thanks again for the footage of the old style equipment.
I watch your video alot and enjoy them. I liked the one with fence post puller. Had the local high school welding class make some and gave them to farmers. My question is should that 1086 have bigger(taller) tires in the back?
I would assume it's so it dries. I grew up in WI. We had a 9 foot haybine and laid the hay out as wide as the cut, had a 9.5 foot rake and raked it all single except the outer two rows. Even then it was often hard to get it dry enough.
Love to see the 1066 such a beautiful machine you guys have maintained it will well 😊

What I always enjoy about your channel is the fact that you use a lot of vintage machinery . Always Looking forward to seeing more of your channel
Your family has a beautiful farm.

Thanks for the drone shots they were awesome. Those old 273's were one heck of a baler. We had one ran it with a 560 or an mta.

Another excellent haying video. Always appreciate seeing the Super M in action! And who doesn't like seeing Mason in his "Indees".
Another great video!!!
Refreshing to see the Oliver and IH still going strong. My dad sold both those and Fords. AWESOME EQUIPMENT!!
From first right into second cutting. The weather gives no breaks this year.
Love seeing the 10 work
Great video, and really great drone work! Don't apologize to those of us that know what you are doing, keep educating the people who DON'T know what you are doing. ProAGtive education! 👍👍
love watching River out crop scouting!
The best farming channel on TH-cam
Lot of red power all lined up. Beautiful,,

You know who the real cowboy is? The one in the middle of the truck. Doesn't have to drive nor open the gates! 😂
Mason gets around pretty well with that rig!
Two rakes, two balers and a bunch of wagons. The only way to go.
And lots of HARD MEN to work
Only really need 2 people really Maybe 3 if run accumulator and grapple
@@Blackwellll3066 you need people when you unload the wagons, to need to stack the bales somewhere
@ivankillins8407 true when done that way
Never a dull moment on a dairy farm
Such a beautiful view as you rake the hay!! Love seeing the Oliver...my late husband loved Oliver Tractors
It was a pleasure watching that 1066 work. I owned a 966 black stripe that I sold a few years ago. This video kind of made me miss it.
Nice video Aaron
Great to see the old Dermal and Oliver raking. I think you need to fix up the Oliver...she's got a lot of life in her yet.
Farmers always want information. Your amazing!
the farm I worked at in the early 90s had a 273 and a 316 those new holland balers sure ca gobble hay good memories thanks
Had a #281 that made 16X18" bales. 1960's model, and it would make you fit stacking behind the thrower. 80# alfalfa bales were what I liked to make. 💪😂
I love seeing a John Deere toy tractor inside a mason jar of a farmall.
Thanks for sharing👍👍💪🗽✌️🍻
thank you
Nice footage!
Same terrain as my uncles farm in buffalo county. Beautiful area 😊
Loved It
I would leave that 1066 on that baler she did a great job
Those balers sure look like they clip along well
From the looks of those oats it will not be long before you will be baling straw.Hope it cools off for that.Thanks 😊.
excellent
Nice video of the landscape,raking and bailing.
What nice Musica do you have in the background?

I sure like that air holes we didn't have one that long

That 1066 is a good platform to use on those hills. Did you figure out why your new baler does not seem to throw the bales as far back as the old one?
When I was young. My dad and uncle owned 4 farms and rented a 5th. I would start raking about 9 in the morning til all was done.
I watch your video alot and enjoy them. I liked the one with fence post puller. Had the local high school welding class make some and gave them to farmers. My question is should that 1086 have bigger(taller) tires in the back?
👍👍
Great video. How many bales to the acre on average do you get? All the best 🇬🇧.
👍💯📸
Your dog must be one of the luckiest dogs ever to have landed on your farm. Do you let the cows graze the residue?
I can't remember what you with the Oliver 1650. Did you fix it? Sorry for asking. Great video
I miss small suares we round bale now. We cant find help to put tgem away
Is Mason in 4 low or 1 high he looks like he is moving in that 1066
What is the difference between making small bailing hay or making big rolled ones,is it for different application or what ?
Why don't you double rake it ? Would save a lot of time baling?😊
Do you guys ever ted hay?
How often does he miss the wagon ? 🤪
Are you still feeding silage out of the silo?
What happened with the round bailer test?
Its time for a v rake
A rotary rake
Is there a reason you rake each swath singly and not two into one?
I would assume it's so it dries. I grew up in WI. We had a 9 foot haybine and laid the hay out as wide as the cut, had a 9.5 foot rake and raked it all single except the outer two rows. Even then it was often hard to get it dry enough.
@@strong40 Makes sense. We had a 9 foot haybine as well and always raked two into one. Usually ended up baling within two days of cutting.
What gear are you using with the 1066/273?
Looks like 4th
Why don't you rake the two rows into one row?
When it's humid, it's hard to dry fully when doubled.
When it's humid, it's difficult to get a double windrow to dry adequately
I was always told to rake them side by side and have a small gap between them so they dried but still baled faster.
Been following you for a while now and still don't get why you don't double up your windrows when you rake
Farmal
in college we were told you loose 5% every time you touch the hay
