Great video Brian's so called rambling you could hear it in his voice the way he feels and there are a lot in this country that feel the same way. And you Cole talking about Memorial Day and the cemetery with all the flowers. You guys talking about all of us, well you guys deserve a lot of credit for all you farmers do. Thank You. Tell Brian the steering wheel ride with the camera was cool. Great video don't over do take care see you next time

    I'm sitting here on Vancouver Island and I can smell that hay from here. Just about 60 years since I slung bales, but the memories are permanent. Cole, good to see you back in the saddle, so to speak. Thanks for your nod to the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. Doesn't take long to say, but we owe a huge debt of gratitude. Brian, your big picture comment about America getting back to work - sure wish more people understood that, especially here in Canada. Anyhows, love your vids guys.

Needless to say he is in heaven. Thanks for inspiring my little guy. He loves watching you guys drive your “tactors.”

    LOL Back in my Hay days. I was a John Deere mechanic. Yes the old Tech school and school of Hard Knox. After graduation and hired at John Deere. One of my first tasks I got was working on a self propelled swather. I was glad to see yours has hydraulic cylinders that does your steering. The one I worked on, only had like 5 hours on it. Complaint was it would not steer. Tested it and was fine no issues. Once oil heated up. OMG The good Lord himself would be the only one that could hold a straight line. Even just look at the steering wheel and it would do a 360. It took us back at the shop many hours to figure out inside the transmission was a plate with a bunch of tubing inverted into it that another plate mounts to. One tube had popped out. It was a mess to fix and figure out. Love your channel and hope you have a speedy recovery.

    Nice to see you back on your feet again Cole, Congrats to the newly weds.
    Agree with you Brian, America needs to start moving forward again. Don't matter what political party your in Republican or Democrat, as an American you should be absolutely outraged that some refuses to work together on politics that are a good thing for most people in America. I would be ashamed of myself if I was one of the idiots in both parties that would refuse to work with one or another. Wake up America, there's no place for party politics and hate. Same goes for the manufacturing companies, work with your workers not against them. Then everyone would be better off in years to come.

    Excellent camera work Brian. I especially love what you said about our country. I am a first-generation-born American in my family. We live in Miami. This town is full of people who escaped horrible situations in their countries and they come here and talk horribly about the US. It's shocking how much anti-American sentiment is within our borders by people who are benefiting from all the great things that only this country can give - by people born here and from abroad. I thank God for being born here and I am proudly raising my kids to love and protect this great country also. There truly is no other place like it.

  • @barbarastedillie1336
    @barbarastedillie1336 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    That was some excellent and very relevant ‘ramblings’. It’s insane that the government is still sending checks to people that can and should be working ! Unfortunately it says a lot about our population that would rather sit at home and collect ‘free’ money than go back to work....especially when our supply chain is struggling to keep up with demand for the people who are working. The preverbal slope is getting steeper and more slippery....

    Morning ramblings with Brian Sonne! Sounds like a great TH-cam channel to me!
    One thing I don’t get is why people use wheel rakes. I understand the twin rakes are expensive. But man oh man they are gentler on the leaves and less dirt. But I will say, that’s one of the purrrrtiest round bales of alfalfa I’ve seen! You could trade with us,,,, we cut 6 full crops and depending on weather we usually get a partial seventh.

    • @earlhollar1906
      @earlhollar1906 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      One thing I don't understand is why people that use twin rakes, don't use windrow mergers? To answer your question. Most farm/ranchers in the upper Midwest and foothills of the mountains where ranching is prevalent. Used to and some still do use a sickle bar mower for mowing hay. Alot of hay put up back then & now is Prairie hay Prairie Grass which consists of mainly needlegrass. The seeds are like a spear with a corkscrew on them and then a tail at a 90-degree to the main spiral. Which falls to the ground and with proper moisture the spiral unwraps and screws the seed right into the ground. So you wait until the seed drops cuz it's a little hard on the cows mouth also but mainly so it gets a chance to reseed before you cut it. By this time the food value is all in the dried leaves between an inch and 5 inches off the ground. Ergo the sickle mower and back then usually gathered with a Bunch Rake into Windrose and then bucked into one location where the stack would be made and lifted up on the stack with a push off Stacker with usually two guys tromping the hay to form the stack so that it would stay together and shed water. Then came along the little round baler which made bales about the same length as The Idiot squares of today but only about 24 in in diameter. Which were throwing up to the guys in the back of a truck or on a wagon that were stacking them by a one-armed Bandit, Bale loader. Along with the invention of the round baler, came the side delivery rake! Witch on some models of a fair length we're driven by a chain and sprocket setup on the front metal wheel with cleats to drive the rattletrap. Very high-maintenance lots of zerks. With later being power-takeoff driven , more maintenance!! Then they came out with the wheel rake. Little maintenance,a few easy to get to zerks and a hydraulic cylinder or two. Very versatile, you could gather a wide area of sickle bar mowen Prairie hay into 1 window that made uniform round bales. Three Windrows by a smaller swather, two brought in and piled on one if it was a lean year. Then they came out with the big round baler that was wrapped with twine or the Twisted plastic wine that was a pain. Then the invention of the net wrap, was perfect in combination with the double wheel rake rolling to windrows together to make one that made a perfectly packed big round bale that wouldn't explode when you were loading and transporting. BTW , you probably already knew about the independent suspension on the wheels so they float up over those obstacles like Badger holes , prairie dog holes , and gopher Mounds!!! & that was a lot I had to say about that.

    He's back. I am happy to see the team is together again. I need to have the same surgery on the same knee, but I am scared to do it. You are giving me courage to move forward.

    I was on a United flight last week and they served prepackaged strop waffles. It was pretty good. It made me think of you guys immediately

    Brian thanks for showing us how to change a roll and "that's all I'm going to say about that"
