- In this video, we tackle a series of unexpected challenges as we strive to harvest our third crop hay. The season has been anything but smooth, with weather conditions constantly shifting and equipment breaking down at the worst possible moments. From sudden storms to mechanical failures, it feels like everything is working against us. But we're not giving up! Watch as we share the ups and downs of farm life, showing the resilience and determination needed to overcome these obstacles. Will we succeed in getting the hay in before the next disaster strikes?

Being a farmer is very hard job. Thanks for all your effort brother.
So nice of you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
First time I ever seen hay bagged. Really cool process. Enjoy your videos. I'm from a small place in SC. Keep em coming!!God bless!😊
Thanks for watching! Glad your enjoying it
Great content... Maintenance shop activities on a farm never seem to ease off, especially during harvest. Congrats for getting all your new subscribers.
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoy the videos. It seems like we’re constantly fixing something.
Great awesome video , lots of fun , beautiful crop . Some here are done 2nd and some on 3rd
Yeah, I hear the guys who just bail are on second but the ones that do silage are on third
@@RockyMountainFarmer i know the neighbours are done third but they cut there first the last week of may was so early and all the rain we got really helped
Used to drive an End Dump for my Father in Law's construction company, never tipped it, thank heavens. That poor, beautiful Peterbilt :(
It really is sad to see.
I never knew you chopped hay for dairy farmers. I am a horsewoman so I buy bales. This was interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it
You have an abundance of what makes every farm successful. WATER! Where does all this water for farming come from? An aquifer?
I really like your channel. You use some really specialized equipment. Thank you very much for all your efforts.
I’m glad you like the channel. The vast majority of our water actually comes from the snake river
Congratulations! 👍🏻
Thank you!
Man! Y'all have had crappy luck this spring. Certainly hope it improves!
Fingers crossed! I hope it gets better
Very nice videos . Rick from pa.
Thanks and welcome
That's awesome! Congrats! You do a great job on the videos!
Thank you so much. Glad your enjoying it
Congrats on your channels success! Biggest in Idaho is awesome and an accomplishment to be proud of!!
Thanks so much!! It has been a challenge
Amazing video I like it
I'm glad you like it
Almost need a 4 foot extension on the spout would help
That would help
Nice Rake!
It is a pretty nice rake
@@RockyMountainFarmer I bet you could put them both going 1 Direction and then turn around and throw the Next pass back into the Row and Put 4 Windrows into 1 especially if you were Bailing!
Sounds like a stressful summer.
My choppers (NH) guarantee that the metal detectors work. They always do work too, except one time when we smoked a set of knives and even bent the drum on a socket that the swather left in the swath.
NH replaced everything under that guarantee. Maybe your choppers are the same?
I will have to check and see if ours have a warranty like that. I know the metal alert should have caught it, or at least told us that it wasn’t working.
I'd still consider fixing the truck, because everything I've heard about the new one's is that they've maintenance nightmares.
It got hauled off today. It literally broke the frame in half.
@@RockyMountainFarmer If it's just the frame and box, but you have a good pre emissions drivetrain, another good option is finding another truck with a good frame and body and start swapping parts. At the very least, don't throw the old one away until you have a good replacement. Been there, done that.
You might have to chop at night and let it grow up some moisture so you don’t waste as much
Yeah it helps when there is dew.
All you have to do is add 2 ft. to the opposite side of the truck to the dump box and don't load the dump box so full. Also get those metal detectors working you can't be feeding good dairy cows scrap metal.
Another great video ! A group of crows is called either a "murder of crows" or "a parliament of crows" . Just a bit of useless info . 🐦
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the info.
That has to be so frustrating when they break something while you're away and they just keave it layong there🙄
I guess insurance said not to move it
You know if it gets to dry put a water tank on a trailer and drive through the field spraying water on windrow of hay to make it wetter to chop
That’s not a bad idea
Looks like someone needs to call Bend It With Brendan.
Right that would be great.
How do you fertilize your hayfields, with dry spread on top or do use through irrigation? We don’t have much irrigation in iowa.
Right now we use manure water
Come on . . . that will buff out !
Right haha
have you ever heard of loader wagons , a few years back i saw a vid of one that had a side unload . they can only cut to 2 inch which maybe not enough . but they can handle all sorts
That’s interesting I will have to look into that.
Thanks for very interesting video.
Wonder, if you can adjust the choppers in a way that the length of the grass that you chop can be adjusted and keep it a bit longer than normal? Maybe to reduce the pulverising (and parallel some fuel as well)? Just curious.
Sorry for the broken chopper. Nice that you have metal detectors, that helps a lot for bigger metal scrap.
Just another question , why it is that you call this hay, hayraking, hay chopping, while in Europe we used to call it silage, or silage grass and so on, do you know?
Many thanks and best regards form the NL.
Glad you enjoyed it. I’m not sure if there’s a way to slow down the knives there might be. Might have to look into that.
@@RockyMountainFarmer Thanks.
Hi, maybe it is possible to adust the ratio, in say rotations per minute (RPM) of the chopping drum versus the speed of the feedin of the packed grass or hay. I have seen once there may be an option to adjust gears, or to switch the PTO of the machine to another outlet of the gearbox in the machine, or else? I saw several PTO's when you nicely showed us the internal parts of the bigger Chopper, when you were reparing that one. Maybe it is an option to adjust somehow?
Anyway good luck you guys, the silage/hay looks as a quality product as you explained so well in the video, although it is a bit drying quickly in the windrow.
need to make a steamer chopper!!
Yeah, I’ve just heard about those for Bailers that would be cool
I know you say that dump trucks toast, but I’ll be seeing videos of people in India fix those for a job
It got totaled by the insurance
@@RockyMountainFarmer
Oh I bet
It’s still sucks to see a nice ol peter truck most likely get sent to scra
@@RockyMountainFarmer looks it had a tough and good life for a farm truck for sure 🤣
Love all the videos. How the potatoes doing this season?
I’m glad you love the videos. The potatoes look to be doing OK but we won’t know until we actually harvest them.
I have never seen a hydraulic cylinder failure like that.
Me neither. Crazy
Always heated these single ram trailers had one for carting dung and always fall over
Yeah, they are not great
G'day Tehran do you and your family own the dairy or do work independently and contract to the dairy.
We don’t own it. We just grow for them.
I’m pretty sure the boys at BTR could fix that dump truck
They probably could but insurance just totaled it because it’s old enough it would cost more to fix than it’s worth
come on, i dare you guys to fix that truck!!!! come on out to Riche bros in calif, they give those trucks away!!
We probably would, if they didn’t total it
You guys are working a large area . Do you own all this land or lease from other's ? How many acres do you manage every season ? Awesome watching . Gives you a more appreciation for the plate of food in front of you .
We run about 3000 acres and we own about 1800 of it. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
@@RockyMountainFarmer Thanks for the reply . 3000 acres man the sun rises and sets with the tractors still going .
Water it Down !
I’ve seen other Farmers do that !
Yeah, we have thought about putting some sort of system like that on
Motor might be good!
Tires still have tread
Yeah, I’m sure the motor is fine
What about Kiting the truck? Buy a truck without a motor and swap the good parts.
That wouldn’t be a bad idea
How is the air conditioning working?
It’s working ok but not as good as we had hoped
Dim rotten potatoes got you nothing but problem
True
You’ll have to watch for fire. You have an awful good chance of something catching a fire with the hate being that dry.
Your probably right
At 3:18 if you look they never opened the tailgate
It slammed shut when it tipped over
If you ever think in getting a new chopper you tube the krone big X oofff
I don’t know of any Krone dealers around here
