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.
Greetings from Alabama! I really enjoyed that. Nice to see a Farming video that isn’t about “look at me and all the big fancy stuff I have” Thanks and y’all be careful, America needs you!
Hello. What a beautiful vidéo. I whatche it from France and I am a IH fan , i have a 433 , a 744 and a 845 xl . There are magnifique !! Nice to see you gain !!!
You got a beautiful place. Nice to have help. I'm just a one man show. Small old equipment but I love being out there. A bad day in the hay field is still better than a good day at work.
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.👏👏
I really enjoyed this video. Reminded me of growing up in the 80’s square baling hillsides like that with older equipment. Nothing prettier than a freshly baled hay field, especially 2nd cutting. I really admire just how well the farm is kept up.
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
Beautiful fields, good weather and well maintained vintage equipment! I spent many a summer behind one of those kick balers stacking the loads on as we had to haul sometimes up to ten miles away so we wanted as many on the load as we could. You always looked out for your buddy to not get a bale in the side of the head!
This video just popped up in my recommended. I saw the narrow fronts in the thumbnail, so I had to watch. Great job editing. Hard to believe that you only have 1k+ subscribers. You added at least one more today.
Just found your channel ,and joined !!didnt know how to spell supscribed LOL planted corn with a SMTA for the first time all by my self when i was 13 years old with a 455 IH corn planter, Dad was starting milking and said go plant that field! and I did !!!!!!
When someone says baling hay, I think of the way you guys are doing it! Never farmed myself, as teenagers my brothers and I worked for many different dairy farmers in central Minnesota, haying like your doing, decent money and we were always fed well. Nice video, I’m in!
I had an 880 for awhile, i traded it for a brand new 550, to do raking and light chores. But, nothing could hold a candle to a good 4020diesel, i also had some two cylinder John Deeres, but, my wife did not like the hand clutch, so away they went.
That oliver is nice no doubt! The only thing I could think of to make it an even better tractor is if it was yellow with that classic red MM on there lol
Back in 1973 I bailed hay for my neighbor, who hauled hay for a living to Kentucky horse farms, for two cents a bale. Fifteen years old. Wire bales, so they were heavy. They fed us good though. Good memories.
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!
Great use of drone and ground level shots with nat sound. Really like the GoPro on top of the NH baler. I have cab tractors with AC for baling today but remember the days of open station tractors. Takes young people with strong arms and motivation. Seems like that is in short supply today…
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. 😂😂 Thank you for sharing!
Great. I did this for many years in a small farm in eastern ontario Canada. We had a small dairy farm my dad and I. My most beautiful years of my young life.
Great Video. brought back memories of my days as a kids baling on he 70s. There was no better baler in those days than a New Holland. YOu guys sure picked a nice day to make hay.
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.
My family (KS cattle and horse owners) put up our own hay...both brome and alfalfa... for decades. In all my years, I had never seen nor heard of tedding or the machines to do it with. Then in the past couple of weeks, I start seeing videos on the topic, pop up in my recommendations.🤔😎
Just happened by chance to see this vid and decided to watch it. For as old as they are those tractors sure do purr along nicely. Y'all have taken good care of them. Thanks for sharing the video !
Live in Ontario my father started with a hay loader and loose hay one day he went and bought a new Holland hay liner 68 baler made things alot easier in 1962
New subscriber here. Oh how this brings back memories. Before I retired my family operated a dairy beef farm in Minnesota. It is so nice to have family members helping out. I can’t believe how many tractors you have in operation. Having 2 balers going has had to have saved you many times. How many cows do you have in production,and do you raise dairy beef? My dad and myself operated about 70-80cows and raised All 8:05 the dairy beef. I don’t know how you can have the time to do the videos. Thank you for the sacrifice you do. I haven’t watched many of videos yet but will be. Take care and be safe
Nice to see that Farmall still earning a living. I hated those bale kickers……made unloading the wagon hard. Hand stacked was much easier. Later……..do you have a way to dry the bales in the barn. Dairy I worked on as a kid had two huge fans and tunnels that sent air up through the hay to dry it in the barn. We had to stack the hay bales cut side down so the air would go through.
Judging by the land, and, the color of the crushed limestone gravel on the road, i am guessing your farm is in southwest wisconsin. I was just down in the driftless area last week. I drove wisconsin 35 from Superior to Prairie Du Chien, and, then on to Lancaster to visit old friends. I had never been south of La Crosse before, and, it was a real treat to see the country. Back when i farmed i used all New Holland hay equiptment, i had John Deere tractors, but, thoought New Holland made the best haybines, rakes and balers. I used to stack my bales, because i sold a lot of hay, and, wanted them bigger, I once stacked 1400 bales in one afternoon, my wife drove the baler and i stacked the wagons. I had a bunch of racks myself and, borrowed a few from a neigbor to keep going. I was young and strong then, and, could go all day in the hot Minnesota weather in southern minnesota. Like the channel, and, will continue to follow it. Thanks.
@@GierokFarms Did i guess right about the general location of your farm. It also looks a bit like eastern St. Croix or northern Pierce couties. My family was orignally from Polk County, Amery, and, Balsam Lake.
A dairy farmer in southwest PA had ten wagons and the space in pole barns to park everyone under cover. He could get about 125 bales on each wagon. That’s about 1200 bales that could be put up in a day. Unloading and stacking was the difficult part!
Greetings from the wallon région in Belgium, beautiful video, beautiful country side, its nice to see those tractors without cab, I miss the odour of the hay!!!
I like 👍 seeing old tractors 🚜 running in the fields. For and older man like me new equipment is not fiesadel. I couldn’t make the money for having new tractors.so please keep working the older ones. Hawk.
You guys are driving faster than I remember as a kid in the 60's. Maybe our windrows were heavier, especially first crop. Spent many hours pulling a baler and wagon with the M-TA. Nicely done video.
Different kind of country!👍🏽 Growing up in Sandhills we put up 2.3 sections of prairie hay using a hay cage. Each place puts up hay is different. Hay stackers of different types gave way to round bales and big squre bales.
Drones have done so much to enhance videos, especially with farming videos. With your rolling hills it was great to see the view of baling from different heights with the drone. Looks like you had a picture perfect day to get your hay bales up for this cutting.

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.
Nice looking Oliver always nice looking tractors I have a Oliver 70
Hey I'm from South Carolina good video my brother peace
Very satisfying 👍
I love that old style equipment. That shows that if farmer respects his machines then they will last forever.
Glad to see you guys are still hanging on. Not too many small dairy operations around anymore
That Oliver is sweet
Nice work !
I love the Oliver what a great little trooper
Greetings from Alabama! I really enjoyed that. Nice to see a Farming video that isn’t about “look at me and all the big fancy stuff I have” Thanks and y’all be careful, America needs you!
Thank you TJ
Watching in in Ireland 🇮🇪 Beautiful footage thank you for sharing this video peace and love God bless
Sure love to hear that old M run... really sounds awesome!
Hello. What a beautiful vidéo. I whatche it from France and I am a IH fan , i have a 433 , a 744 and a 845 xl . There are magnifique !!
Nice to see you gain !!!
A gentle man here in Phoenix used the old equipment because he hated computers. Love your machines thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
You got a beautiful place. Nice to have help. I'm just a one man show. Small old equipment but I love being out there. A bad day in the hay field is still better than a good day at work.
I hear ya, Thanks for watching!
starflite3, yep even a bad day working on the farm beats working a off farm job.
💯
Some of the most beautiful countryside on God's earth. That drone footage is spectacular.
Yes, I like that you still use the older dependable equipment and you don't have to hack the software to keep them running.
no kidding
Love 💕 seeing the older equipment still at work 👍
Thanks ken
beautifull farm! keep it up. love the video brings me back
you really place the cameras well !!
Great drone video of the rolling fields, I love how the landscape dictates the type and size of equipment.

I know I'm not the only recliner viewer watching these days and enjoying being there with U ;-}
We use to bale about 25 thousand bales per year I remember well
Nicely done! Brought up many memories from the 60’s and 70’s, growing up in Kossuth County Iowa.
Thanks Bob
Both Kossuth, and Tama Co. Ia.., and Charles Co. Maryland.
This had it all. As a previous viewer said it was just the right ratio of mechanics, human interaction and gorgeous scenery. Music was spot-on also.
Thank You Lawrence!
Narrow front ends and rolly hills - yes sir! Still happy we quit, but does make me smile. Great times all around. Thank you.
Thanks for watching John!
Love the sounds of equipment, camera views and drone shots. Love the guitar music too with the drone shots.
Thank you!
Nice looking tractors u r pulling your rakes with
Thanks!

Farmalls are my favorite tractors
Wow great old school sounds ..well done well done...😀😀😀😀
Thanks Roy, I enjoy the sound of the M-TA and the 1650 Oliver!
An interesting blend of technologies old and new! Olivers and UAV's!

I miss driving Oliver's! I had 2 1650 and 1755.
Oh nice diesel or gas?
I had an 880 for awhile, i traded it for a brand new 550, to do raking and light chores. But, nothing could hold a candle to a good 4020diesel, i also had some two cylinder John Deeres, but, my wife did not like the hand clutch, so away they went.

Super M TA, used one for years, very good tractor.
we like it too!
Still like raking hay with good ole NH side delivery rake. Cant beat it
Heck ya!

Good ole 686 ! Own one ! This is one great work horse that will never leave the farm ! Never see one with narrow front end tho ! Look amazing !!
Thanks, yeah we purchased it with a wide front and put a narrow front on it!
Real awesome footage. Just like how we do it. It's cold outside tonight but the summer footage warms me up.
Good job working with the contour. I like baling hay, it's the part that comes after that is less fun.
Ya LOL, thanks for watching!
Another well documented farming vlog. Thanks
Thank you again Doug!

And that is a really beautiful farm
Nice feed! I really liked the 1650! I have one myself.
Found my new favorite channel 😀

You guys are driving faster than I remember as a kid in the 60's. Maybe our windrows were heavier, especially first crop. Spent many hours pulling a baler and wagon with the M-TA. Nicely done video.
Thanks Mikey!
That’s why we double up on our windrows so the baler didn’t have to drive so fast
Great video. Hopefully you have other videos that go into more detail on the unloader in the barn.
nice to see the old equipment work
Different kind of country!👍🏽
Growing up in Sandhills we put up 2.3 sections of prairie hay using a hay cage.
Each place puts up hay is different.
Hay stackers of different types gave way to round bales and big squre bales.
Drones have done so much to enhance videos, especially with farming videos. With your rolling hills it was great to see the view of baling from different heights with the drone. Looks like you had a picture perfect day to get your hay bales up for this cutting.
