The cart with the generator and air compressor is just pure genius! Just good common sense and perfect use of the extra equipment. Probably don’t have to use it very often, but very convenient if needed.
Your hills wouldn't be for the faint of heart. I grew up in flat country, but over the years have gotten into rolling to hilly terrain. Certainly a scenic view!!! Appreciate how you folks make use of older items and find a use for them.
We saw Norwegian farmers in Norway baling up and down hills because they were too steep to go across the hills. We were there in early July and saw a farmer still baling hay at twilight which was close to midnight.
The Deut Far tenders in the 80s had adjustment handles on the wheels and you could run the Tedder at a angle and throw the hah away from the fence rows then put them back in the center hole and carry on. Thanks sir!!
that was my first job - tedding and I always enjoyed that. But back in 1978 they put me on a Ford 9N or something similar I'm unsure of the model - but it was all rebuilt and freshly painted and in good working order. I worked on a hill farm and it did not spread like the powerful monster you have there! I remember being laughed at, at the supper table because the term tedding was new to me and I pronounced it Tidding, and everyone got a chuckle out of that
I love your explanations of the difference equipment you have! I'm a mechanic's daughter, so it doesn't have to be pretty as long as it works. You acquire very nice used equipment and put it to good use. Your hay is a beautiful green. I hope you get some rain soon to help your crops💙
The mark of a good farmer. Take something you have, adapt it and make it useful. Thank you for sharing some time on the farm. Please stay safe, and God bless.
What's old is new.My father-in-law talked about using a Tedder back in the day. Of horses.With the new haybines using a Tedder kinda whet by the wayside.I think they have made comeback because the hay crop is heavier now.One thing for sure is that tending help dry the hay.Thanks 😊.
Enjoyed this one very much. Hope you have had some rain since this. We had some last night. Also always love seeing all of the hills and beauty of your farm. Thank you.
nice heavy tedder , over here in UK when hay making everything is tedded out , that is common practice but more so because we don't get the sun shine so much or not so strong , even if making silage now tedding is common straight after mowing to get the dry matter in the silage
We use Milwaukee m18 inflators on our farm and they work great for inflating implement tires. I added open lockNflate air chucks and they are a great addition to the inflator.
I don't think your farm is for the beginner, but it's sure lovely terrain. I hope you don't mind my asking, but where did you get the roof trusses/rafters for your machine sheds? I haven't seen them before and they don't look like they're covered in bird doo-doo. Thanks for sharing part of your daily farm life with the rest of us.
Keep your windrows tight as you can. Let the field dry out in between the windrows. The next day go out and ted your hay in the afternoon weather permitting you should be able to bake hay. Just a suggestion to help you out. God bless
Having a tedder is a great tool have for making hay dry evenly especially cuz no one really cuts hay and lays it down the full with of the cut that only way to not need a tedder but then ya run over alot of the hay if ya did it that way.
Could build a lean. To onto the building for the shed for the generator. Then tractor running the generator is out of the main building for your safety if you put lights in. Just a thought
I still ted with my '56 JD 420! My old Kuhn tedder isn't nearly a fancy as yours! Loved the video.
I think tedding is what farmers do when they are caught up and just want to go for a little ride, smell the hay and admire the beauty of the land.
You would think that I imagine if you never get rain. In the north east. You definitely understand the importance of tedding the hay
You have great videos. Love the camera angles. 😊

I enjoy watching someone in their element doing something they love. As I have done that job many times, the only missing was the smell of the hay.

Pretty good size hay field.
Nice IH PLOW IN THE SHED ❤😊 !!!!
I noticed that plow too. Amazing, no rust on it at all. Looks like he just plowed an hour ago.
Lovely ❤
There is something almost theriputic about farming that soothes the soul
Or kills it. It just depends on how things go.

Tedding is like meditation isn't it?

Seeing 😂hay wagons reminds me of our neighbor and his backing wagons with a tractor. He'd back in barn even. He was slick at it
Amazing shots! Your channel always takes me back home, I love it. You provide so much good information on what you are doing.
Dewalt makes a small compressor that works great on battery power. Quite a machine,Rich

Great angles, perfect videotaping!
Could watch for hours how well you keep that beautiful piece of earth in perfect condition.🌞🏅🏆
I have the same tedder , I have had mine a few years and it works great not to fancy but heavy built and reliable.
Remember my grandpa running his old side rake backwards to ted
Great video. I just asked a few videos back how you liked the tedder. We ordered the exact one you have and it should be here on Monday.

I have a 751 John Deere four basket that I pull with my 60, in 5th gear. I don't run mine wide open either. Usually half throttle. Putt putt putt!

Looks like an efficient way to shake all the alfalfa leaves off the stems....
I don't know if there's real LED floodlights yet but getting lights to remote buildings is getting a lot easier since LEDs and cheap solar.
Tedder question: Won’t the Tedder knock of a lot of the alfalfa leaves? Or is the Tedder just used on grassy fields?
Are you in the driftless region?
Oops more wheels then doors LOL
WHAT'S THE LATEST ON THE OLIVER??
You guy"s need Weeble equipment for that land. They wooble but don"t roll over.
Do you guys know were Loyal Wisconsin is ?
Were do you live in Wisconsin?

This looks like your moving really fast on video. Nobody teds hay around here. I think its better to ted. John T.
Nice doors & wheels back reference. :)
You could put up some LED floodlights so you wouldn't even need that much power to light it up real good.
