- Join us for a high-speed, breakdown-free hay harvest as we tackle our fourth crop of the season! After struggling with equipment issues on our last few hay cuts, we finally managed to pull off a smooth, uninterrupted run. In this video, we’re cutting hay at a blazing 20 miles per hour and getting it done faster than ever before. From the initial setup to the final rows, everything came together perfectly this time. We’re showcasing the efficiency of our machinery and how running at this speed helped us cover a lot of ground quickly. You’ll get a front-row seat to the action as we maximize productivity in the field, and I’ll explain what we did differently this time to avoid the problems we faced in previous harvests. If you love farming and big machinery working at its best, you won’t want to miss this one. Thanks for watching, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more farming content from Rocky Mountain Farmer!

Congrats to the giveaway winners! 🎉 It’s exciting to see the giveaways and the behind-the-scenes of hay harvest all in one video!
I like giving back to the people that made this channel grow.
20 mph ?????😮 that’s freaking awesome
Yeah, the conditions were just right that he could fly
You are so lucky to have a 4th crop of hay. Here in Ohio we just had 1 cutting and then it got dry and there was no second cutting.Streams and creeks are dried up ,no pasture and some are already feeding hay. Going to be a bad winter here for the farmers, no matter how bad it gets. You should feel very blessed to get 4 cuttings.
Sorry to hear that. Hopefully things work out for you. We will actually have a fifth cutting after potato harvest.
Thanks for your one handed tractor work. 👍
That looks fun. I'm amazed that you can swath at 20mph. I was up in southern ID along the Snake river and checked out the Oregon trail at Strickler home site and Twin Falls.
We were amazed at the beauty of the farm land and how much over head irrigation in this part of the country,
Really enjoy your channel content/video quality. Boe 😊
Well, I’m glad you’re really enjoying the videos. We do have a lot of irrigation here mainly pivots because it’s hard to find people willing to move pipe anymore. We bring up a bunch of guys from Mexico to do it.
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
That's my idea of heaven. Just going up and down in a field with another decent crop ❤
If I ever see you at Micks in Shelly I will buy you Lunch. Thanks for your videos.
Sounds good to me. Glad you’re enjoying the channel.
We definitely love Micks!! Great Thursday Pie lunch special!!
It’s funny to see your dad brakeing the sound barrier out in the field I guess he’s laughing all the way so he can get working on something else ❤
I guess so
Great drone videos….
Glad you like them!
Yes talk more about the dairy side please
I will see if they will let me come do a video on that we don’t own the dairy
Love the Self propelled Bagger 🤩. Seems to work way better than ours and has definetely enough HP 💪.
Yeah, it works pretty good. We’ve had three or four of these versa baggers.
Always enjoyable Terrin, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
great vid . looking at the way the grass flowed on your rake , turning the water off was a bonus .
Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it
looks good
Thanks
adjusting those fan blades is probably like putting rubber tips on your snowblower impeller. (attach small rubber tabs like a piece of tire sidewall to the tips of the impeller to completely reduce the gap to the housing) You tube videos have shown it to increase the throw distance by like double :)
Love you too, your farm show is really awesome 😊
Glad you are enjoying it
I'm enjoying it, and it is mesmerizing. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoy it!

watching dirt roll off a mold board plow is the same effect for me 😁
True. That is fun to watch.
We are busy chopping silage in Western Nebraska now
We get five crops a year. How many do you guys get over there?
@@RockyMountainFarmer this is corn we chop
Oh gotcha
I'm looking forward to this year's potato harvest and to see how big they are. And maybe one day, you guys will try out a self-propelled Forage Harvester.
It should be a good harvest.
We would like to try a self propelled but the cost just doesn't make sense for the small amount of hay we have.
When do you anticipate starting the potato harvest?
We are getting everything ready now and we should be starting to dig around the 20th
Less bruising with the fingers. Waiting for the potato harvest I know that I miss doing it
Had many years in the San Luis Valley in Colorado
Yes, hopefully potato harvest is great. It will be nice to run our new cellar equipment.
Even flow looks good, when will you start digging spuds? Did you get your electrician to make sure all of your cellars have good power sources?
We should start I think on the 20th and we did have our electrician come look at our cellars and make sure they were all good to go
@@RockyMountainFarmer just remembered all the problems you had with power last year.
You need to get mounts
What kind of mounts are you talking about?
Great video. Just an observation, the tongue on your hidump wagon is very long. I would shorten that up and bring it closer to the harvester spout and make it easier to hit the hole.
We had to lengthen it because the trucks kept hitting the chopper. Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@RockyMountainFarmersorry i lol at that comment. Reminds me of the 90s and spud digger booms in the sand.
what ended up happening to that grass after it went through the machine.. i never got to see the movie end😭
It goes into the bagger, and it stuffs it in a big silage bag, where it ferments for the cows
Can we get a Look at the Dairy if Possible?
I will ask them. We don’t own the dairy
@@RockyMountainFarmer it’s ok I assumed you Operated the Dairy but I guess you just Sell them the Hay?
i live on a farm/ranch and im 13 and i have driven our swather and our fields are so bumby that i only went 5 mph.
Yeah you have to have smooth fields to go this fast
@@RockyMountainFarmer true
Buy a jag. Claas chopper
There aren’t any Claas dealers near us
How do you feed the cows with that chopped? Hey out of the Hey, that's in them big tubes.
They scoop it out with a loader and put it in a big mixer
Instead of cutting seed potatoes wouldn't it be better to sort them and keep the perfect size for the planters sucktion cups, sell the rest? Or would there be a problem with something like genetic selection?
Well, we can’t plant the potatoes that we grow, because potatoes are grown in generations so we plant fourth generation, but we pull out of the ground, our fifth generation. We buy seed potatoes from a seed grower some people do have theirs sized, but it cost a lot more so we just cut the seed ourselves.
We have had such nice warm weather this fall, 4 cuttings is one more than usual. Who is STI? I have never heard of a processor by that name in Idaho.
STI is just a trucking company here in town. We will actually have a 5th crop after potatoes.
Waving the ✋️ at ya from outside Seattle, WA. (I'm not IN Seattle, nor will i ever live in Seattle. But everyone knows where Seattle is, no one knows where Renton is 🤣)
Oh, I know where Renton is. Thanks for watching. my brother lives over there in Gig Harbor.
We all know where Renton is, It's too close to Seattle.
@tuberNunya 🤣🤣🤣 truest statement ever! We're entirely too close! But Renton is a great little city that manages to cope with being that close. I work in Seattle unfortunately, but I'm not gonna make that kinda money anywhere else
You don’t talk much about the dairy side can you explain that a little
The reason for that is because we don’t own the dairy maybe I will see if I can do a video on the dairy one of these days
The drawing was rigged because I didn’t win lol 😂
@@RockyMountainFarmer so why do you make hay for them
@@garymork1380 They have to rotate crops so they don't get potato blight. might as well sell the hay.
Yeah, we use hay to rotate with our potatoes and our wheat. The hay puts a lot of nitrogen into the soil so it makes the potatoes grow really well when we get potatoes in after the hay.
Why not use the new toy to cut?
The combine doesn’t cut hay. It’s for wheat.
@@RockyMountainFarmer need a different head so it can?
You don’t know much about farming. It doesn’t chop up hay.
Man! That swather running at 20 mph was like watching NASCAR without the politics, and political correctness.
Other than the crashes in NASCAR, I'd rather watch the swather!
It was pretty crazy to see. Glad you enjoyed it.
Those are rodents lol.,.
When do you anticipate starting the potato harvest?
We should start around the 20th
