I am sat with a smile on my face, 58 years old and I remember working with my dad on the farm may he rest in peace. I can almost smell that cut hay after all those years. Thank you Simeon.
Why am I so happy when I watch your vids? Thanx so much! Great Blessings from Him to all of you!!
Nurse Kimberly ... I watch when I can Ms Kim a few others. This one is good I think!
Kim... You can call me Tom please
Seconded. Wonderful as always and so many changes in the last couple of weeks.
plus your kids are thriving!
about the decking on the wagon - ?pine?, beech?
also - ?how do you turn the hay?
What a lovely family in such a beautiful pastoral setting. As someone who grew up in a farming family I know it's only fun & games for the little ones. Lots of hard work as you grow older. It's nice to see you working so well along side your father. Sadly, it was always a struggle working for & with mine. Who would have thought a video about hay would be so pleasant to watch?
you truly are a gifted video producer. you are good as a camera man, you are good with editing, you are good with background music. you are good with story telling. Love your channel. Love your work.
So happy for your Brothers Wedding! Glad to see you posting again. I learn so much from your channel. God Bless!
I think it is awesome that people in other countries learn English! That is something some people moving to America have not been able to do or are not willing to learn. Love this Channel!
Really like when people give machines a second change, great work.
Hi Simon happy to see you and God bless you and you're family THANKS.
Great video. Glad to see the little tractor is working so well for you.
Nice to hear you and your dad speaking German while you work. Greetings from a neighbour across the Baltic sea!
Simeon, I love these Vlog style videos where we get to see the day to day on your farm! The picnic scene was great. I also love hearing snippets of you speak one of your other languages.
Great video. I give your Dad and the video operator a #10. the kids are wonderful.
That was very enjoyable to watch, thank you. Much better than the TV.
Ahhh, fond memories of doing hay and maintaining and rebuilding equipment when I was a younger lad.... Rebuilt a few very old wagons, most of them were built with wooden frames, which were largelystill intact. The frames were quite narrow, and we wanted our platforms to be as wide as possible, so we got a little "inventive" in order to accommodate and yet have strength at the outermost edges. Lumber was cheap in the good old days. What is your hay machine called? We used a machine called a "haybine", which cut, squeezed, and laid out a neat row, then later we'd rake it over to dry more before baling into square 60-80lb bales. If not as dry as the "boss" preferred, we would use a stooker to stack the bales on their corners to dry some more before collecting on the wagons.
great work, nice to see the children being children.
Love your videos! One thing that always surprises me. You have some really amazing woodworking tools, but no circular saw for projects like today. My cordless circular saw gets more use than any of my saws.
Beautiful job on the new hay wagon floor!
Hay Dad! "I cut this board off three times and it is still too short. Get the Board stretcher."
Nice to see you and your dad working together. You are both lucky. God Bless.
Love the video nice seeing kids outside particular in trees where they belong
what is it with kids and trailers it dosnt matter what country your in they always want to play in the trailer
Hi Simeon. You have for sure the coolest dad ever!
it has to be cool to be working a long side a master builder as well as in many thing your dad is one cool guy
Great video Simeon! Thank you 😊
You have 385 Likes and no Dislikes! I have never once seen anyone get that high with 0 Dislikes.
Wonderful video really informative. If you make a second cut late in the year then surely you have to make silage as the weather does not allow drying.
Now thats what im talkin about. I love watching the day to day farm work. And especially the children playing outside. My grandchildren unfortunately would rather spend their day on the computer or cell phone or watching TV.Great video.
I respect your point of view, but I respect the health improvements I see with my cattle when I feed a sensible balance of silage and dry hay.
Back around 1955, or so, my dad dug a silage pit about 50 meters long by 20 meters wide, and maybe 10 meters deep. He mixed the silage with alfalfa hay to feed the cattle. We usually had about 500 head that we rotated between fields. I remember "helping" drive them about 2 miles to the rail head to ship them to market. I said "helping" because i was around 8-10 years old. :-)
In later years, I remember big cattle trucks coming to the ranch and dad and the hands loading them.
I believe that back on the farms in Maryland the other term for hay 'wagon' was 'hay rick' (not to be confused with greeting Richard, "Hey, Rick!").
Love the videos, love the journey you are all on. Re: Silage, if you don't like the plastic why not consider a 'silage clamp' (a structure created for the creation of large quantities of silage). Also the process of making silage creates a more valuable/nutritious feedstuff for the stock - better growth per feed weight. The question of Ph levels I can't answer for.
Great video!!
nothing beats the smell of good hay..:)
Good bless your beautiful family.
Another great vid!
Starkt jobbat boys 👊
My goodness your skills come in handy for your needs!
Your needs are what develop your skills.
Beautiful family!
You guys sure have some beautiful lumber over there!
Hay... good job guys 👍
Nice work
Always enjoy!
Simeon... Nurse Kim is a really good person!
Do you (or your family) also turn and cut parts of the hay that can't be reached by the machines? I've always helped out a farmer out with those things when I was younger and it was always very nice to do!
Do you guys have a tedder and rake for the tractor, this helps the sun dry it out better
Does a mower conditioner not help dry the hay in your area? It makes a big difference here.
What is the negitive effect from eating silage ?
Beautiful video, have you ever tried haylage.
I rebuilt many hay wagons bed. Then I started using old engine oil to treat the wood and have never had to replace them again and they sit out all the time threw ran and snow and sun.
old time engineer, old engine oil is extremely toxic. In most places in Europe it is a crime to pollute the environment with it.
Sim brother !!! Get some sun on those legs !!! Lol 😎 are needed to look at them !
How many cuts can you get where you live? Around here in southern Ontario I believe farmers get two or three
Is that background music the Mimicking Birds?
I saw a orange Mora knife what model is it?
Awesome video. Plsssss how much does this small machine used by your Dad cost plsssss and best place to purchase it pls. Thanks so much.
I am surprised to make silage from grass. I have never seen it in Slovakia. Probably our grass is dry too quickly. Making silage here is common from leaves. From leaves of sugar and fodder beet, to use the leaves as a by-product.
Simeon do you speak german language with your dady when you work
Simeon, why don't you guys use battery circular saw? Always with the hand saw. Good exercise, yeah. I'm just wondering is all.
Hey Simion... love ur vids bud but want to let u know theres a channel that stole one of ur vids. Chan name. top of funny
Title. Awesome Chainsaw Trick .
i enjoy ur vids and appreciate the hard work that goes into them ... hate to see u get ripped off. Take care!
Could it be a issue of choice for the animals that they eat dry and fresh fodder because they can't do silage themselves? Naturally fodder is either fresh or dry which is what the animals are used to 🤔
Was that Christoph I saw?!
Have you considered cutting hay with horses?
Bis zu dem Video hatte ich keine Ahnung dass du/ihr der deutschen Sprache mächtig bist.
Mach weiter so!
Abo ist raus :)
time for bigger mower en mow whit the deutz
Simeon, you know I'm a big fan......but have to ask. How many times has your father (or brother) said "stop playing with that camera and get back to work!"
8:50 Sounds a lot more like German-speak than Swedish... Great vid tho :)
No Skill Saws in Sweden.
I don’t make anything my goats and cows graze 365 a year .
Silage ????
Beautiful white Swedish family... last of its kind.. stay strong symion
that speaks german very swedish
1st 😂🌷🌹
I'm confused. This is the Swedish Homestead and you speak german with your father???????
Family originally from Germany but moved to Sweden 15/16 years ago.
Great that you keep up the old language. Hope your kids are bi-lingual at the least
Kim Guldberg Hi. As Simeon's Wife is from the US the Kids speak swedish, german and englisch.
Well done
hand saws. Yikes.
It's not really fair to compare an old well wore out tractor to the new Koiti. why don't you compare the new Kubota to the new Koiti? The big old tractors may have not been as fuel efficient as the new tractors but the new big tractors are more efficient also. Either way with the new tractor or the old tractor the rocks in the field still break the cutting blades the same way.
Why are you talking german in the family. I thought you are swedish?
BusterXXXL he is from Germany with a US mother. His wife is also American frim Oregon.
