Uncle Fred used to rake it, then used the rake to flip it over after a day or two, then wait a day, then bale it. He used to give us 1.5 cents a bale to get it from the ground to stacked in the barn. Richest 14 year old kid on the block during Forth of July holiday.
Happy to hear that you’re getting help with the baling. That’s what friends and neighbors are for... chances are they’ll need you at times too. Take care and give yourself time to heal.
Hi...... Evan, (Country View Acres) I love watching your video .Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍
I know you're still not 100% but you definitely LOOK like you're feeling better. We could tell you were in a lot of pain in the last few vids. Good friends and family willing to help out is a blessing. Continue healing, and keep up the good work!
As Always you're doing great, I will continue to pray for you and hope that you get better soon. I'm glad that folks are coming to help you get your hay in. Great drone shots.
Love those drone shots. Glad you are doing so much better. May take awhile , a long while to be back to 100 percent. I'm an RN and after all the years taking care of patients I became disabled when I was 62. I've even had a major back surgery with 2 9 inch rods, spinal fusion and 3 disc removed. Yelp, just before retirement, really sucks to not be able to do all the things you once did. You take care and rest your back and don't do more than your back can tolerate until it is healed. Blessings, will continue to pray for you. MiChelle
I hope your back's doing better now. I hurt my back a few years ago and it took me some time to get back on my feet again. But all wet well and now I really watch out for what I'm doing and how I move, because I never want to be in such a situation again. Take care!😊👍🏻
Good job Evan, you’ll get it figured out and working for you !!👍👍. Hope your baling and stacking in the barn goes well for you all. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
We were blessed with the same back issue lol. I learned if you adjust your lower back it will help. The easy way to do it is to sit in your car or truck and lift your knees to your steering wheel keeping your knees apart. Keep your toes on the floor and heels raised. While doing that try to squeeze your knees together and most of your lower back will adjust back to where it should be and pop a little. It relieves it instantly.
Looks like it Fluffed it up pretty good am glad your doing better cause I’ve watched all your videos and know how much you’ve been Through to get the hay Field going and it looks like your going to get a lot of hay for all your work and pain you’ve gone through 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Glad your back is doing better!!! If you run it right after cutting it won’t be as dusty and if you have any clover you won’t loose as many leaves. Can’t wait to see the bailing footage, take care and have a good day.
Evan, I found this site today "just a few acres farm" and this owner knows his hay process. learned so much. he explains everything and demos also. I believe you could pick up some very good tips watching his videos.
you are absolutely right in making sure your hay is dry before baling. a friend of mine baled his a little too soon in order to go on a trip and it went through a heat curing process that let to spontaneous combustion and he lost all the hay and his wooden hay shed. haste certainly can produce waste. please take care of your back as you will need it later in life............g
In my experience you can spend a lot of valuable summer time working out where that ticking is coming from and still not find. Good to see you moving around just take it easy and do not do too much. Hay crop looks good
Glad to see you out moving around. I've had lumbar back and sciatica issues for years, I feel your pain Evan. Sure enjoy this series and your channel. Thank you!
Good to see you up and nearly about, I have back probs from time to time. Also good to see you taking half of each mower row, that way that way you pull the center out to dry. I ran a Haybob for many years, that method will stop the crop balling up.
Glad you're getting better! So happy for you two that your hay cutting is still proceeding, despite the setback. Can't wait to see those bales laying in the field.
For sciatic from a ruptured disc, try an inversion table for 5 minutes right before bed and 5 minutes right when you wake up. For 2 weeks. It's the only thing that helped me. Takes the weight off and stretches the 2 vertebrae apart a little bit. Feels so good!!
Good to see you're able to make progress on getting the hay into the barn. I'm glad to hear you've got help coming too, you don't want to risk hurting your back again/more (been there, done that, didn't want the t-shirt).
I so enjoy your videos and have learned some things about farm life and what not to do to hurt myself. I work retail and I have to watch how much I lift.
Evan you might want to consider purchasing a lumbar support . I used to work in PT and saw a lot of miserable back patients ;’radiating pain down your leg could be a bulging disc so be especially careful with your body mechanics as you start feeling better .I enjoy watching you work now being retired myself Good luck
It looks like it worked pretty good, ciatìque nerve pain is a bugger. I have had it on and off for 35 years. I hope that you don't have my luck, l was younge and dumm in my mid twenties. I didn't listen to my body. I wish you the best and l will pray for you
At 61, I've had my pains and surgeries, but nothing has brought me pain like a siatic nerve issue. If it gest too bad, it is a long road back. Don't push that issue, you will regret it. Good luck with all of that, I hate not being able to be active.
excellent!!!!!.... very good.... no more tedding..... there will be too much leaf loss on your alfalfa... rake and bale is next... cool.... my guess was 300 hundred bales first cut.... its gonna be awesome.. .. thx....
I am glad to hear you are going to except help . You need to listen to your wife and take the time to go to a doctor that understands back pain. I ‘m thinking you have only seen the E.R. Doctor at the hospital. Slow down ,don’t rush. God bless all those that are going to help, there are some wonderful people in the world.
Great Vid, I would suggest finding a solid chiropractor.. it can be a game changer... (definitely before any surgical options... most don't fix) Stay Safe
My dad always made me start in the center of the field so when the field was done the tractor would not pack down a path that wouldn't dry as well. We also had the old style "kicker" tedder.
Pathway to the field where your dad trimmed branches looks nice. Hope your back heals properly. Stretching hamstrings will help. You don't want to become a broken down farmer before your time.
I'm glad that you are better. It's always wise to rest and taking movement with caution. Certainly prayer is an awesome resource. I hurt my back when I was 15. Will be 69 this year. It's not good to push until healed. However, it's not wise to just stop. Everyone is different take time to heal as you work through the healing. Blessings to you and your wife. ☝🙏👉...
Your tedder looks great. I broke my tedder in the last hay field. The grass was too heavy. Five acres made 60 4x5 bales. Luckily I won't have any more hay for a while.
If the tones touch the ground, it makes them oscillate and if one swings the wrong way when another one does, they can touch. That may not be the source of your ticking, but it could be it. It appears to be spinning too rapidly right now - it shouldn’t need to throw the hay, just should stir it up a little. Try idling down in a higher gear and see if it still works. That would reduce the stuff landing on you and hanging on your tedder’s arms. Good luck with your back. I had a bad bout with sciatica about 6 years ago, and physical therapy solved it. Turned out my lumbar area wasn’t curved right - too flat. That made a disk bulge and pinch the sciatic nerve. Lots of core strength exercises but no crunches. Took about 3 months of PT but really solved it.
If you want to load the bales onto a trailer, you should have one guy driving the tractor/truck slowly along the lines of bales, two or more people on the ground and one or two (depending on the size of the trailer) persons on the trailer. The ground people throw the bales up to the people on the trailer, and they stack them. At least thats how we have done it, back when i helped out on a small farm.
When we bailed hay on our farm we hook the wagon to the baler, had 1 person drive tractor, than 2 people on wagon to stack the hay, that way everything was done at one time,than went to barn & unloaded the wagon
We are located on a farm in west central minnesota and we don't actually ted hay and our hay turns out just fine. We bale hay the old way with the old haybine a old new holland rake and a old new holland small square baler.
When I went to look at our tractor, my wife decided for me that I needed a cab. I'm so glad she did. Dad has always had open station tractors. Unfortunately, I have nasty allergies, so the cab allows me to do what needs to be done without coming home all snotty and sneezing. Plus, in the summer heat, I can get off work and go out and mow regardless of the temp as I sit in my nice air conditioned cab.
Ticking sound is normal - they all do that. As for the people talking about the RPMs and the hay blowing around - this machine is made for wet and or green hay. What he is tedding is dry, so it's going to blow around like that. RPMs are fine, you could speed up the tractor a little.
Watch the bolts that hold the arms on the Tedder, they break occasionally. Should be metric bolts and studs, good to have a few on hand. Also bend the arms so that they are all the same level if they aren’t, they bend pretty easily so if you hit something they get messed up sometimes.
JudithB Glad you have help coming, but you might be better off driving for the loaders. You will do more damage to your back with trying to throw hay etc. Got to know when to step back and let others help!!! Be careful!!!!
Now that you’ve got the equipment up and running isn’t it about time to use the old slab for a “parking lot”? Get the cover moved also. Just wait until the bod is back in shape. Love your channel!
Having the tedder on hand is a good thing for the reasons you mentioned. I'd just leave those square tube guards off of the tedder. They bounce a lot & end up breaking to the point they could get caught on the tedding arms, not good. Stay safe.
Rule of thumb with those tedders, the more dry the hay the less rpm. That dry you want it to run barely above idle. Also the lower the rpm the higher the gear so the speed stays constant. Not just because the hay gets lighter with drying und thus flies further, you also cut down on losses with less rpm due to less dry leaves getting detached from the stems which are lost to the field no rake/baler picks up small detached leaves. I think the "hitting sound" is when its hitting the ground, if the ground is uneven or a wheel hits a hole the tines touch the ground and that makes the ticking sound. You can try raising it even higher to see if the sound goes away then, but it will start to not catch all hay.. usually set in a way that it grabs all the hay a few ground collisions aren't avoidable unless you got golf course smooth fields :D
Now you have used a bit go round it and check all bolts are tight as those machines try to shake themselves loose! Don't forget to grease all the joints fully.

I've been here since u had 4k subscribers and now u have over 40k it is amazing
@Powrguy Tom Evan does a great editing job. Especially love the aerial shots.
Whenever we worked with our hay, we would do it in the morning before the dew left. We didn't lose as many leaves off of our alfalfa.
My favorite job..... nothing beats tedding.
Happy to hear that you’re getting help with the baling. That’s what friends and neighbors are for... chances are they’ll need you at times too. Take care and give yourself time to heal.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 I've been praying for your back
Hi...... Evan, (Country View Acres) I love watching your video .Thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐥🐕🐖🐈🌱🎥👍👍👍
Nice Field of hay. 👍👍👍
I look so forward to all of your videos!! I enjoy them so much that a 10 minute video isn't long enough 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for sharing
Really like your videos. Brings back a lot of memories of my youth. We a had cow farm and cut and bailed a lot of hay.
Hey I realy like your videoś keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍
That. Was a fun machine. Hope your back is better soon.🌻
I know you're still not 100% but you definitely LOOK like you're feeling better. We could tell you were in a lot of pain in the last few vids. Good friends and family willing to help out is a blessing. Continue healing, and keep up the good work!
As Always you're doing great, I will continue to pray for you and hope that you get better soon. I'm glad that folks are coming to help you get your hay in. Great drone shots.
Love to see some aerial shots of Evan's helpers loading bales in the field.
It's great that your getting help. Take care and don't strained ypurself. It's not worth it.
You look like you are feeling better. 👍
Love those drone shots. Glad you are doing so much better. May take awhile , a long while to be back to 100 percent. I'm an RN and after all the years taking care of patients I became disabled when I was 62. I've even had a major back surgery with 2 9 inch rods, spinal fusion and 3 disc removed. Yelp, just before retirement, really sucks to not be able to do all the things you once did. You take care and rest your back and don't do more than your back can tolerate until it is healed. Blessings, will continue to pray for you. MiChelle
I hope your back's doing better now.
I hurt my back a few years ago and it took me some
time to get back on my feet again.
But all wet well and now I really watch out for what
I'm doing and how I move, because I never want to
be in such a situation again.
Take care!😊👍🏻
Glad your doing better than a few days ago!
Glad your feeling better
Great job, take care of that back! Loving how you are buying fixer upper equipment and staying somewhat budget conscious.
Praying all is well!
Looks like it’s going good. 👍👍👍
Good job Evan, you’ll get it figured out and working for you !!👍👍. Hope your baling and stacking in the barn goes well for you all. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Knowing an inexpensive tick from a costly one is the key to most farming.

After watching him mowing. I'm guessing 300-400 bales at 36" long bales.
@@philipblass6544 Tight fit in the area they cleaned out??
It’s a good thing you have a nurse for a wife.

Glad to see you out moving around. I've had lumbar back and sciatica issues for years, I feel your pain Evan. Sure enjoy this series and your channel. Thank you!
In my day I looked back more than I looked ahead.
Glad to see your feeling better Evan. Try not to over do it. Hi to Rebekah.
Good to see you up and nearly about, I have back probs from time to time. Also good to see you taking half of each mower row, that way that way you pull the center out to dry. I ran a Haybob for many years, that method will stop the crop balling up.
Excellent Evan that really does a nice job! Can wait to watch it getting all bailed up! Glad your doing better! GOD BLESS!!
Glad your feeling better God bless you and your family buddy good looking hay field also nice job

You’re a tough guy to be out there working, back injuries are no joke! Glad you’re going to have help lifting those bales once they’re done!
You’re farm is looking beautiful, very well done
A cab on a tractor is a good thing. I've never had one but a GOOD thing.
But all of them dont have AC
K K : Mine does ! Kioti 7320 pcc ! Great tractor !
@@dennishayes65 my Sisu valmet 865 from 1997 doesnt have one since it was an accessory.
So sorry to hear you've hurt your back. Watched parking bay vid so I know you're doing much better. Stay safe!😊

I enjoy your videos keep up the great work...
Lucky for you, here in Europe we can't mow grass this month due to huge rainining, we will have good corn this year but not so much hay.
putting the covers back on might cut down on the dust getting all over you. that's going to be a lot of bales of hay.
I’ve never seen that piece of equipment, nice. Love the aerials. I’m glad you have help.😊❤️
Evan, You're becoming a real farmer now !
Thats a surprise, I almost thought that tedder was brand new, looks really good!
It looks like it worked pretty good, ciatìque nerve pain is a bugger. I have had it on and off for 35 years. I hope that you don't have my luck, l was younge and dumm in my mid twenties. I didn't listen to my body. I wish you the best and l will pray for you
You already looks better!!
I’m sure you’ll be fine in a week.
Great drone footage. Looks like your first haying attempt is going great!
Good footage
At 61, I've had my pains and surgeries, but nothing has brought me pain like a siatic nerve issue. If it gest too bad, it is a long road back. Don't push that issue, you will regret it. Good luck with all of that, I hate not being able to be active.
Nice,take it slow or it hurt your back more, takecare and God bless
Love your honest approach.
You look much better today. Accept the help offered and do not lift and twist!
I also recommend to have a chiropractic session. Helps me every time.
Best peice of machinery you own looking good
excellent!!!!!.... very good.... no more tedding..... there will be too much leaf loss on your alfalfa... rake and bale is next... cool.... my guess was 300 hundred bales first cut.... its gonna be awesome.. .. thx....
You do need the covers on. Hope your back gets better fast.
Love you vids ❤️
GREAT VIDEO! don't wreck your back, trust me, its not worth it!
The best time to Ted Hay is right after it is mowed I use a 730 case same as the one you have nice little tractor
I am glad to hear you are going to except help . You need to listen to your wife and take the time to go to a doctor that understands back pain. I ‘m thinking you have only seen the E.R.

Stay Safe
I dont usually subscribe but I like your content.
There are some rough operators out there and your tedder looked like it was owned by one who wasn’t fit to own a wheelbarrow, well done for saving it.
My dad always made me start in the center of the field so when the field was done the tractor would not pack down a path that wouldn't dry as well. We also had the old style "kicker" tedder.
the tedder turns the other way! You must put it on a tractor with a turn to the opposite of the case. greetings from galicia spain !
Hello i think it turns in the right direction. The camera let it look wrong
Pathway to the field where your dad trimmed branches looks nice. Hope your back heals properly. Stretching hamstrings will help. You don't want to become a broken down farmer before your time.

Benjamin Köppler problem is, these days you cant find enough willing people(usually young men) who have the strength to do that job!
When we bailed hay on our farm we hook the wagon to the baler, had 1 person drive tractor, than 2 people on wagon to stack the hay, that way everything was done at one time,than went to barn & unloaded the wagon
Get well.
Maybe you should get a little less rpm because it is spinning very fast, and blowing a lot of the hay back to you, the tractor and the PTO..
We are located on a farm in west central minnesota and we don't actually ted hay and our hay turns out just fine. We bale hay the old way with the old haybine a old new holland rake and a old new holland small square baler.
Sorry to hear your back is still hurting hope it doesn't for much longer. It'll feel better when it stops hurting 😂
