Best comment ever. As a WV boy that lived in NYC for a few years as a young professional, cut hay was one of the smells that i missed the most. They also say that smell is the sense that has the strongest link to memory which is why when you smell something (good or bad) it elicits a strong and immediate reaction. Dang that's a nice cut with the Claas! I don't think my "little" JD 5055e would pull it ;)
Doesn’t anyone still do traditional square bales? Back when I was a teenager helping on the farms of various relatives, a bale thrower was the height of sophistication!
Great video Jason... I’ve ran a 7290R with a Pottengier butterfly mower. That was in the neighborhood of 35’-40’. What a mower that was.... I can mow roughly 250 acres per day.
Not often that you see a 2 wheel drive late model cab tractor now. That John Deere must be one of the 6R series that was tedding the hay. Always have some good videos to watch on this channel.
@@bigtractorpower AGREED! But what I want is this video to be 1-2 hours long! 12 minutes is too short! I use video's like these to help me sleep. The roar of the motor, and the visual of the mowing is like a lullaby to me! MORE! :)
Wow. I used to make hay when I was younger but I didn't spend two million dollars to do it. I would really like to see the numbers that this farmer works with. That would be very interesting. Maybe you could interview a John Deere salesman and see what we could learn.
He’s a dairy farmer not a hay salesman… cows will pay for it. You can cut 30 acres an hour with that triple mower alone, so I’m guessing he’s running a lot of acreage.
first cut! ~ we're lucky if we ever get 1! ..let alone something that thick and full ..that'd be heaven ...you should come film here and see what real struggling farmers go through
Man,do I wish I could get into a big flat field and run that triple! I've run mocos,and they are fun,but have never even seen a triple,in my neck of the woods,to many hills,and fields to small.
Great video! Always good to see, that there‘s more than corona all ovee! I planned to start in about 3,5 - 4 weeks cutting the first gras for silage. After 5 weeks without a single raindrop we have now the 4th day of rain! You can almost hear the gras growing now! 😃 Greetings from south tyrol, the northest part of italy Wolfgang
nice mowing machine cuts good lots of hay there where is this and you feed it to the cows and put it in a pile and feed it out all the time with grain i used to have a farm and had lots of hay field, thanks for the video .
could someone explain or name me the advantages or these driveable/ pulled mowers? Nobody is using them here so thats for me the only way to gain this knowledge😅
So are they done growing hay on that field permanently? Wondering if they are just replenishing the soil with different crops? I live in in the city and have no concept. Wish I was a farmer.
Alfalfa lasts about 5 years. After that it thins out and is not productive. The farm will harvest this field one more time in June and then plant sorghum. Alfalfa helps fix nitrogen to the soil and enriches the soil. Next year wheat will be planted and soybeans will follow. Then corn will follow. Wheat/soybeans and corn will rotate on this field for a few years and then it will go back into alfalfa
To bad there wasn't machinery like that when I was a boy helping my Granddad with his farm. That hay looks like it was excellent quality for any grazer to have in the coming months. Great video guys...
This dairy farm is near Russellville. There is a WKY plow day in Cadiz just off I-24 on Saturday October 5, 2024. It is held at the Cundiff farm. Your son might enjoy seeing all the plowing and tractors. It starts around 9 am and goes until noon.
Victor Bonnast I think the weight is the main difference. They can be equipped differently and are therefore more suitable for certain jobs. the lightest tractor will have advantages in terms of handling and maneuverability, since it is probably smaller. but he can lift or pull less because the limits of the load capacity are reached earlier. neither will he be as strong as his heavier brothers. i'm not a john deere specialist, but i think that's how it will be.

@@carmfarm5 No the triple mowers have flail conditioners too. Personally I'd figure it's just different strokes for different folks. The triples are a little faster but need a bigger tractor and cost more and also are far more complicated. The center pivot mower is much cheaper and doesn't need as much power and simpler, but is slower and lore awkward to mow with. Just have to decide what's best for your operation really.
I used to cut hay. We had a rotating mower that let down on the side. Kinda like the single in this video but no wheels. It was worn out by the end of summer and had cut part of the cover off of it. We did not have a cab tractor. It would sling cow shit all over the tractor, and you. .... but as much as you had to watch for rocks and other things to keep from tearing up the mower... I can’t imagine trying to mow with a mower like that on the front of ur tractor.
I wish there was a smell option on hear. Id watch for hours!!!!
First cut hay sure does have a great smell.
Yes when i was a kid i loved the smell of cut hay and i still do
internet cannot have good things..
smell option, please no, there will be too many videos trying to rickroll viewer into a fart video.
@@moofymoo I laughed too hard at this, mainly because its true lol

I think the nutritional value and increased milk yield of feeding silage is the reason. I remember this as well though!

Last time I checked Lee (the owner of the farm) was taking in 3.23 million dollars per year

We are still roughly a month out on our first cut as it still fairly cool weather here in Michigan.
Awesome reaffirmation for the fervent fan of BIG John Deere's and, even more, for the American farmer!
This is crazy to me. I'm a deere tech in eastern canada and we got 5 inches of snow Tuesday. First cut isn't quite ready yet haha
A feel you. Same here in Québec last monday in Saguenay
We've had a really warm & dry 6 weeks in Europe... probably that's our summer come & gone! 😆
Claas and John Deere tractor looks very efficient
Man,do I wish I could get into a big flat field and run that triple! I've run mocos,and they are fun,but have never even seen a triple,in my neck of the woods,to many hills,and fields to small.
The smell of freshly cut grass is awesome👍 thanks for the video👍
I love doing hay work
Fresh cut hay smells like heaven
👍👍
Running the disc header on my swather is my happy place, still makes me nervous you being within range of broken blades tho, be safe bud
Thank you for sharing your video with us...
I love cutting hay
Very impressive setup love hay season 👍🏻
Great to hear & see! Very nice Tractors & good to see them working together in the same field!!
They make a neat mowing team.

nice video , but i am a little bit shocked because of the thin tyres , too much ground pressure

Bellissimo video 🙋♂️ 😊 💚 🌈
Have you had the chance to run that 4wd IH tractor lately Big Tractor Power? I really like that one and that 8850 John Deere 4wd tractor too.
that looks more like a silage operation rather than hay to me!
nice video bro
@bigtractorpower where in western KY? We are in Paducah, my son and I watch your vids together. He loves them

Thank you. Always fun to film hay mowing.
*Hay, there!*
👍
We make hay in July. Great video
Is this the same farm that you have shown in years past using 3 and 4 different 946 mowers? Do they still use them just not all together anymore?
Great video. I didn't hear what the width of the triple mower, was it mentioned ? Thanks, thumbs up !
It is 29 ft 9 in Thank you for watching.
Hi from Israel 🇮🇱 great channel
The best farmers are from Israel, it's amazing how much the Jewish state produces. I love your country!
Must be nice having all that equipment to cut hay rather than out 18’ Vermeer. But, I still love what I do, so it’s all good
Great video! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching.
The guy running the single mower would almost feel like he’s in the way !!!
Op iokk0
Can you tell how much are these mowing
Nice video, what is the difference between a 6250r , a 7250 and this 8245?
Victor Bonnast

Wolfgang is correct. It's sort of like small, midsize, and full size pickup trucks.
Taking the test already but if I don't have money
All some video keep it up!!God bless
What’s the benefit of the moco vs running two triples, other than cost.
The MoCo mows and conditions (crimps) the hay so it dries faster. The other one just mows quite a bit quicker
@@carmfarm5 No the triple mowers have flail conditioners too. Personally I'd figure it's just different strokes for different folks. The triples are a little faster but need a bigger tractor and cost more and also are far more complicated.

@@sstroh08 Looked at it again, your right.

What is the name of the farm in the video
tractor has front pto ?
Is this footage from Robey farms?
Yes
best video bro
I'd like to have the 946 moco it would be an upgrade from my 1470 moco
Where's Billy and Matt? Lol Bring on the big gear!! Jk the little stuffs interesting too
That dairy farmer must be south or east of me. There’s only one or two dairy farms left in my whole area. And they are fairly small operations.
David E Pool What’s your definition of “fairly small?”
I like thwt john deer.
👍👍

Can someone explain to me how they managed to have a frontal PTO on a 8R series?
I would also like to know how a front pto is fitted on a 8R.
Ask Hutson they can tell ya (dealer these tractors were bought from if this farm went to the local deere dealer)
@@maxhallman1036 how can i contact them?
@@yester8039 what dealership of theirs? They have like 6 or 7
WHAT PART OF WEST KY???
Logan County area
@@maxhallman1036 I’m far western Ky. Graves county
@@Tylerzach024 nice
Nice video and equipment but wanted to say it’s pretty sad that it’s a 20s hp and huge and my 70s is a 22hp and not even that big of a body
i'm from ne germany my alfalfa is 10cm high
Lots of hours chasing an old Farmall throwing bales on a flat trailer
Haying has changed a bunch. When I was growing up kick balers and pull type choppers were main steam.
Kind of the opposite of watching grass grow.
