  • Dairy farming in Wisconsin! Watch my family and I start making 2nd crop hay. We are using our two New Holland Rolabar rakes as well as our two New Holland small square balers! The tractors pulling the rakes were a 1650 Oliver and a Farmall Super M TA. The tractors pulling the balers were a 686 International and a 7810 John Deere. I hope you all enjoy the video! Thank you for watching!

    You’ve really got a wonderful farm. Looks like you are far from traffic, nicely peaceful, nice rolling hills. Must have been a great place to grow up.

    I really like your channel. You do things the way we did it when I was a teenager. But I really love that you are keeping this older equipment running and usable. That's amazing. Really like the old Oliver and Farmall. Keep up the good work.

    Yes, I like that you still use the older dependable equipment and you don't have to hack the software to keep them running.

  • @dejavu666wampas9
    @dejavu666wampas9 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Really enjoyed the details of equipment maintenance and adjustments. Brings back memories of my childhood. We did small bales, either dropped on the ground and loaded by hand later or with a guy on the hay rack towed behind the baler, then elevator to the hayloft. Was fun to load the elevator with bales inches apart, to make the guys move quickly in the hayloft.
    We had an old reaper for oats, had to go shock the bundles in the field, then haul them to the threshing machine, which was run by a long belt off the tractor. Played a lot in the straw stack.
    God, I really enjoyed my childhood. Thanks for the memories.👏👏

  • @bruceprentice6441

    Great video. I found my milking cows couldn’t tell the difference between small square bales and big round bales, so now they only get big round. I still have a in mow hay drying system in my barn, that we stacked the fresh bales on. It blew air through the hay, and helped cool the hay down and dry out any tough or damp wads of hay. Been milking up to 80 cows now for 42 years, and we are going to transition to beef. Dairy is a young man’s game, and it looks like you have your heart in it . All the best

    I remember when I was about 15, my cousin bought a new JD baler, first one we'd seen with a bale counter that actually worked. We baled 35k bales that summer and I touched every one of them. Pulled baler & wagons with a 175 MF diesel. We milked 12 or so cows by hand back in those days. Milk, eat a little breakfast, hit the hay fields until 6 or so, milk again. Those were the good ol days!

    It was great seeing the M run, even though it's a later model then the one we had on the farm I grew up on in the 1950's. Still, it must be pushing 70 years old. I spent many a summer hour running H's, cultivating row crops, and very early fall mornings before going to school raking beans for thrashing while the dew was on them. Thanks for the great video work.

    Our farm we always try very hard to handle cut hay with care, and not run over it with the tractor or work it. My dad was very particular about it. Every time dry alfalfa is handled the leaves slough and the crop loses nutritional content. I can still hear him yelling at me. LOL
    Our New Holland thrower was pulled with a MM M670 propane. Working with the baler from our other farm our record was just over 2,200 bales in one day. We had six people, two balers, six racks, and a lot more energy then. 😂😂

    Hay stackers of different types gave way to round bales and big squre bales.

    I do about 900 - 1000 round bales 4x5's each year. Each round bale has has much hay as 13 -14 square bales . So that would be 13 to 14 thousand square bales. Growing up we only did square bales. A lot more work when doing the small square bales. New Holland roller bar rake I have one good rakes. Nice video love the older equipment.

    Y'all, this sure does bring back memories, tractors with real air blowin through your hair. Then the lo man on the totem pole would put on long sleeves and climbed up into the loft and started stackin. Then after unloadin and stackin one wagon, take a break blow our noses, drink and pour water all over ourselves and get ready for the next one. Sure got me prepared for other things and life in general. Still can hold my own if anyone ever needs a hand.
