To hear "hi this is Pete welcome to Just a Few Acres Farm" means it's going to be a great Sunday morning. Thanks Pete you are the best.
Great camera angles Pete! Sorry about the drone casualty, but it sure was fun to watch and the extra effort you put into it with the text and your voice-over really shows how you're getting things done. Thank-you!!

Thank you for showing us how the bailer functions inside. I was curious about it. It is a lot of work yet you make it all look so calming and relaxing. Your drone footage is fantastic and I finally saw how you were multitasking the drone with your tractor work. You have so many practical talents and real-life farm experiences on your "just a few acres farm". Thank you for sharing your life with us. Shalom(Peace)
Good morning Pete and Mrs Pete
Beautiful farm, beautiful tractors, beautiful crop, beautiful animals, beautiful and gracious people. Some of the very best content on TH-cam. Thank you.
Always wondered if there were any whoopsies with driving the tractor and flying the drone at the same time. Now I know.
I loved the inside look of the bailer! My dad makes round bales as well for his cattle, though he runs John Deere. I had never really seen the mechanics of how those type of bailers do their job.
Bailers keep boats from sinking. Balers make hay bales.
Another great video Pete. Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos and sharing them with all of us! 😎
Hope to see you next week at the farmers market. We’re flying in from California for the wife’s high school reunion.
Thanks for the video! This is my first attempt at baling so I’m on edge. Your videos help tons. I’m in Niagara county and have Dexters. Hope to add another heifer to the family. See you at the market sometime!
Pete, it sure was wonderful to join you on the hay field this morning. Thanks for showing up.
God Bless 🙏 all farmer's big or small farms. Thank You.
It's a girl, no! - it's a boy, no! - it's a hay bale!!! Congrats to 25 new additions to your hay barn!
Enjoyed the different angles of the baler functioning as well as the high perspective of the farm. You folk are a part of the backbone of our country.
Hi Pete, thanks for a another great hay baling video. So sorry about the hydraulic leak and the loss of your drone. Blessings to you and your family.
ASMR Hay baling, aaahhh. The hypnotic purr of your tractors is magic.
Pete said steampunk 😂
Good morning Pete! My 3 year old and I Iook forward to your videos every day. Keep up the Good work. Great wholesome videos. Thank You Pete
Great to see the hay crop all baled. All the best 🇬🇧.
Pete, Can you make a video of what Ezra does all day by attaching a camera to him? He's one of the best characters on your farm.
It’d be interesting seeing him go after mice.
Hi Pete, I’m so sorry Droney McDroneface took one for the team. Maybe you will replace it. Love the drone footage. Have a great day.
How comforting to be able to bale hay on an ideal hay day from in front of my computer screen. I do miss it. Thanks Pete.
11:35 Love the video of bale gestation.
Pete, thanks for sharing and bringing back memories of making the small square bales as a very young man.
I absolutley love all your "old" tractors. They sure get things done.
Thanks Pete for taking us along on your hay baling efforts. There's satisfaction in fixing equipment breakdowns too! Well done.
Having the skill of a mechanic sure is needed on a farm!!
enjoy your videos . God Bless
I could do that all day. How self satisfied you must be. Great work Pete and Hillary
Thank you for showing how it works, I was wondering. Love your farm and how you show us the everyday nuts and bolts. I also enjoy all your tractors, so cool.
Appreciate all that noise and dusty work on a hot day. Thank you for posting. Best from UK.
I love trying to follow the workings of the machinery. You explain parts so well. A lifetime of experience and knowledge to pass down to your kids. Lucky kids...
I know you find cutting hay relaxing and for some reason so do we when watching videos you post. Perfect time for thinking
Love your vids, don't change anything, keep them coming, Thanks Kempton PA.
Nice way to start my day, thanks Pete and Hillary
I love watching your videos, and love the dynamic that you and Hillary have! God Bless you both and your family!
Great video Pete. Totally enjoyed the hay coming in. It's great when the whole family works together.
such a dangerous job being a flying cameraman, RIP mr droney mcdroneface. we will always appreciate your scenic views of the cattle and sweeping landscape shots.
Such a relaxing video to watch on a Sunday, even with breakdowns and casualties you handle it well and keep a calm and collected composure. I hope you plan to make a video similar of loading the hay in the barn “tomorrow”
We own 1 cow and 6 sheep, and buy round bales like these from a local farm. It's interesting to see how these are made. Thank you for sharing!
Pete, thank you for the vicarious return to my childhood. Of course we did square bails. The hay was always too wet or dry. If too wet, one could wait a day unless rain was in the forecast. If too dry, well rain would cause mildew. Farming is always a gamble with most of the variables beyond control. Never thought I would miss those days of driving a tractor for hours in the sun and dust. These days most have air conditioned cabs.
Praying for you to have a great 2nd and 3rd cut to meet your goal.
Thanks, Pete, for the insight into round bale mechanics and technique; and the many factors that go into it.
From all appearances your baler worked exceptionally well. You are blessed!
Pretty quiet with no monsters... pork chops!!
Well, if there's a good side to the extra dry hay not baling as nicely, the mulch left behind will help the pasture grow.
RIP drone, you gave us wonderful perspective of the work happening and the lay of the land, as well as the fun of buzzing Patty and company.
Love seeing the hay being baled! I'm excited to see the new bale wagon in action next😊
I loved the video. Making hay is a very rewarding activity. Growing up in Idaho in a very dry climate I remember going out at 4 in the. Morning to bale while there was some dew on the hay to keep it from shattering, and we would have to quit by 10. It was always satisfying to compete each stage. Cutting, baling and then hauling and stacking. I remember my biggest day. I hauled 30 stacks of hay with our New Holland stack wagon, and our JD 3020. Each stack had 70 bales in it.
Frist time I seen a baller like this working, Saw Bales for year s in the field but not how it was done, Thanks for taking me along,
Here we go again..... And loving it!
Loved seeing the process of making a new baby hay bale!
Nice to come along for the ride with you during this busy time of the year. Thanks Pete from Ottawa, Ontario.
I wish I could find a job like that again.
Back in the eighties I got to run a vintage tractor pulling an old square baler and had a blast! 😃😁❤️
Always enjoy your videos Pete. Breakdowns are part of farming. Casualties happen as well, but you made progress. See you in the next one.
Loving your last two hay baling videos. Seeing the close ups of machinery and the birds eye view. Photography is superb! I live in Indiana, and we have high temperatures and low humidity right now, I assume the hay is dry right now too.
I really enjoy your farm life Pete and Hillary. THANKS from Australia.
Love all your videos, nice to see the kids out there with mom Hillary.
Sorry Droney RIP!
What a nice job Pete thank you for all the different camera angles it was SO Much FUN to watch this Round Baling action. Really enjoyed it. Keep up sharing the wonderful action
Love you videos
I can hear the stress in your voice, Pete. We generally don't hay until beginning of July. But seeing videos like this already has my nerves going. It's my favorite time of year and also my most nervous time of year. Take care and thanks for the great videos.
That's one fancy baler...but then again my memory of baling goes back to Berkshire when I think my father was the last farmer to not have a tractor but horses. The horses scared me up close but I loved watching them from a distance while they pulled the baler,
RIP Drone McDroneFace, you were a good drone always came home. you will be missed
The bale ejecting is the most fun part of seeing the baler run.
Pete I am really looking forward to seeing your farm grow even more!
Thanks, Pete. A neighbour has lent me a book, 'Ask The Fellows That Make Tge Hay.'
Another good read is 'Farmers Glory.'
Very best wishes to and for all.
Hi Pete! I'm not a farmer but love seeing yours and seeing all you and Hilary do. Let's not forget your jokes!!😅😅 I have shared several of them! Keep up the good work. I'll keep rooting for you!
Thanks Pete! That was super interesting. As a non-farmer, I've always wondered whatt the inner workings of a round baler looked like. Now I can tell my kids what happens when I mommy bale and a daddy bale love each other SO much...! ;-)
Love the videos Pete. I am definitely getting the urge to go back to NY and start my own small farm. I miss hay season.
I just wanted to say, I love all the angles you get, they are very informative! Thank you for all you do!
I love seeing old tractors that you use
Pete, I like the way you maintain and care for your equipment. You are an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure kind of guy.
Thanks, Pete, Grrrrrr...The drone footage gave an added perspective to the farm....
Cheers from San Francisco a former Jersey kid hear.
Wow never knew how those bails were made. Thank you Pete for the lesson and all that you do!
All your 'good ole' tractors sure come in handy! ❣ Very informative video and drone shots are excellent 👌💚🤎💛
So often the video's are really enjoyable and entertaining thanks for sharing. You all appear to have been able to create such a full and filling life which everyone else should understand didn't just happen overnight. Thanks for sharing.
Ciao Pete, dovrai programmare un intervento meccanico urgente per quel trattore. Complimenti,hai davvero una bellissima fattoria.
Un saluto dell'Italia 👋 👋.👍👍👍👍
Hay equipment. Not if it breaks, when it breaks. Few things in life are a given, but break downs during hay season are a guarantee.
The hubby here is a drone enthusiast. Sad to see your drone bite the dust and believe me, he feels your pain. He's got three of them, his largest is a Skydio. Two are in the process of being fixed. We both marvel at the great footage you have provided with your recently passed on drone. Sure hope you are able to get another.
Pete. You give us such a blessed perspective on farm life. We have a small farm in east Texas and you have helped me through several farm projects and problems. I’m retired but all is relevant. Inspiring is my takeaway from you. God bless.
RIP droney 😢. He has served you well with all that great aerial content!! He will be sadly missed but not forgotten.
The 756 is my favorite tractor on TH-cam!!
Great video Pete! Reminds me of my childhood. Bailing hay is hard enough without filming it. Great job!
I love all your videos but Haying videos are my favorite!!
Thanks Pete for sharing the hay bailing day on the farm it’s always good to know when u have your hay in the barn for the winter .
I always look forward to every post, as i learn so much. The drone is a good addition with filming too. Watching in New Zealand.
Another great video; I learn something new with every video. The fact that you have repaired and or rebuilt your tractors yourself let’s you know just by sound, sight, or feel what might be wrong with a tractor and the fix needs to be. Marvelous and talented. 👍🏻👍🏻
That inside the bailer video was great.
7:35...a perfect bale if there ever was one!
Pete you got dirty the way we used to on the farm! My uncle had an Allis Chalmers small round baler then a New Holland big round baler which eliminated a lotta manual labor. Enjoy your videos!
Just a beautiful farm , thank you for bringing us along . I just enjoy watching you and family keeping up the place that has been in your family for generations . You have a legacy that that one can be so proud of ! Happy peaceful life thank you for sharing again just can't say it enough make my day
Keep up the great work! Sorry about your equipment. Man how I know the feeling myself when trying to bale. Especially here in South Carolina. God bless you and your family!
RIP Droney
Fly high buddy 🫡
Really like the drone shots,hope you get another one soon. Great video ,love watching old IH tractors at work.
Pete, sorry about the hydraulic leak and the wrecked Drone.....! All in All you got the Hay baled w/2 hiccups.... I suppose it could have been much worse but we won't go there because nothing else happened. Some things we have to expect to happen but we never know what it's gonna be.....? Things don't always give us a sign they're going to go bad, it's wear and tear on the equipment and it's connections, whether mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or..? Larger Farms have to call in the troops(service people) to get repairs done and it's not cheap...! Thankfully you are well versed enough in the many years of operation that you can deal w/all down times and fix things yourself...! Great day of baling the hay it's done except for the storage..! =)
I ordered your book from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it. Watching cutting and bailing with the older (but good condition) equipment is enjoyable. Take care.
POSITIVE COMMENTS
LOL, I just got done watching Tyler @ Farmer Tyler Ranch do his hay bailing- and yes he mentioned you in the video 😊
Interesting the different concerns, conditions and the way things need to be done between Northern California and where you are at.
Sorry about the tractor but I know we will be seeing and learning about what’s needed to fix the situation. And I’m sorry about the drone but those last shots were really interesting and cool (yep, I’m dating myself🙃). Your drone shots are always good and help bring perspective to what you are doing and showing us.
As always I enjoyed and learned something new. 👍🏼
Always good to have a backup trector.. you never know when and if you'll have a breakdown...
Morning Pete, you can buy parts for those drones. It looks like it was only missing a propeller.
There's something else wrong with it. It's not replaceable. You should keep it for parts.
Neighbour Dave had a problem with adjusting the twine on a new (new-to-him) baler. By the time I was driving home from work, he had a field full of bales on fire. We did not kid him about it as he was quite upset, but between ourselves we called it the day of "great bales of fire".
Hay making is so fulfilling, food in the barn, clean field ready to grow again (given rain...) and a neat looking farm showing its ability to produce, got to love it. Have a great day.
That was so cool , pete thanks for sharing with us :-)oh guess what , we just got some egg layers ,im so excited :-)
