    Spent my summer's making hay on my grandfather's farm in Pennsylvania, cutting with a rear mount sickle bar,raking,and baling 50-70 pound square bales,stacking them on the wagons,3-4 wagons a day,and unload that evening in the barn,,hard work!! Must be nice,having a round baler,being able to move a lot of hay with minimal physical effort!😎😎😎

      Round bales are definitely the way to go 🤣 let the tractor do all the hard work haha

    My first time to see your channel. What area of MI are you farming ? I grew up on a shiawassee county farm

    I agree with Leroy I didn't have to use horse drawn but 100sof thousands of small squares definitely easier with round baler

      We call them idiot cubes , yes I handled thousands of them by hand as well . Dad said it was character building 😂😂😂
      I still remember the day dad got a round baler . No more character building . 😂

    I enjoy watching the older tractors work, and am curious if they are easier on fuel than the newer ones?

      @mymichiganfarmlife7180  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Can't say for sure as we don't have any "new" ones, but the bigger gas tractors drink it up pretty quickly when you are working them hard

    You need to adjust the brakes on the 706, they are designed to work even if the engine shuts off for whatever reason, they generally only fail when out of adjustment.

    • @mymichiganfarmlife7180
      @mymichiganfarmlife7180  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      As far as I know the brakes on this tractor do not work when the engine is running, but I will definitely look into if there is an adjustment that fixes that. Thanks for the tip!

      @@mymichiganfarmlife7180 It's the same from the 06 through to the 86 series, if the self adjusting brakes haven't been serviced they won't work when the engine is off. Only other possibility is the master is shot which is doubtful, but IH engineers built in the safety feature to stop exactly what you experienced. Nice channel btw, excellent job on the AC.

    This video is titled wrong.... It should be called *Making Hay The Easy Way* Growing up I threw many thousand small square bales of hay. Put them on the wagon throw into the haw mow and stack them. And all af the aquipment was horse drawn.

      That is definitely the hard way! I've spent quite a few summers throwing squares helping out a neighbor and that's just not for me lol

      Oh deer! I am very sorry to tell this to you, but here in Germany, we had long times NO mowing machines, we mowed with by Hand, with a "Sense", tedded it by Hand, swad it by Hand, and loaded it by hand, to put it in a shed, by Hand...

    Rake double windrows, saves time and wear and tear on equipment

      Yes we normally do rake double rows but we were trying to get this stuff dry faster. Appreciate the comment!
