- The sun is out, the restored Farmall Super C is running great, and I have 11 acres of hay to rake. Could the day be any more perfect?

I remember 50 years ago when I was just a teenager raking hay with my uncles old Super C with a old JD pull behind rake. Those were the days..
Robert Webb,I know why its so relaxing watching Pete cut hay,while we are watching you truly relax and forget what turmoil the world is in,thats how I feel anyway.☺️
Raking hay with the Farmall C takes me right back to my childhood. The sound of that engine working was always music to my ears. Your channel is a breath of fresh air in this busy high tech world. Thanks Pete!
Jay Leno, eat your heart! A ‘garage’ full of tractors and they all run! Oh, and a tractor for every implement at hay time ….. heaven!!
It's good to see you smile enjoying life. You are a very lucky and wealthy man. Thank you for sharing life on the farm.
I was raised on a 120 acre dairy farm in North Central Illinois in the 50's and 60's helping Dad do chores. Used a "H" and rake as my first field experience at 8 years old. Still remember the sights and smells and sounds. Used to bale hay, walk beans and shell corn for farmers in my area. Farming is such a noble occupation. Thanks for your videos. You are living the dream........
What town in IL - I’m familiar with Springfield taylorville Decatur greenfield carlinville etc etc
@@plankface I grew up near Tonica, Illinois in Lasalle County. I live in Putnam County now.
i farmed central illinois as a kid on some old farms, baling season was the best time, riding on the hay rack between fields eating sun pickles and drinking cold tea, princeville was the first area i farmed and then later in the knox county area
So cool to see that old shiny tractor working. Can't say why but I love watching people, and tractors haying, thanks for the vid.
I remember when i was a kid working on my first farm, Full time at 12 years old. Anyway, i was sent out to chisel plow and yup, turned to tight and ran that darned thing right up the right rear tractor tire. Ruined a whole lot of stuff that day. But thankfully i worked for that farmer until i graduated high school full time for years! he was a very good man and to this day a great and respected friend. I LOVE those memories of learning what I do now! Only difference is I did it for money back then. It's all for the work itself and feeding as many people as I possibly can the very highest quality food I can produce for them.
I don't know what's so fascinating that makes me sit here and enjoy watching you rake hay for 20 minutes. But it's definitely something peaceful to watch.
ahh yes...dry raking. sunburn heaven- luv the hat. Stay Hydrated and Keep Farming Fun Pete. Ty for the multi camera angles.
Everything about your videos right down to the sound of the old Farmall’s reminds me of growing up in our old farm.
I love to see old red iron work! Kind of a funny story, My dad told me that when he was young and his dad was showing him how to rake with an H, his dad told him don't take right turns too quick or you'll take the valve stem right off the tire. And then he promptly took the valve stem off the tire. Thanks for the great videos Pete!
Just love seeing the old equipment still earning it's keep.
I like listening to the old tractors run. I spent my childhood growing up helping Grandpa fix the tractors He collected. All the old tractors have their own unique sound when they run. I think it's awesome that you not only fix these old tractors up but use them too. It is what they were made for after all.
The smile on your face Pete, my goodness, your a man in the right place doing exactly what is right for you to be doing. God bless you brother.
man......its awesome seeing them old tractors rejuvenated and working the fields again....the old tractors that built america
What a great opportunity for 1st cut. The weather is perfect! What a blessing.
Pete, that Super C is a true work of art. And she purrs like a happy kitten. And your drone video work is awesome. Thanks for sharing with us. BTW, farmers suffer a high incidence of skin cancer on their nose, ears and back of the neck. Your hat makes perfect sense for your protection. God bless.
We use our 1949 Super A to rake. She's old but does the best job for raking. Brutus, our 1972 IH 170 diesel is still the boss for cutting and baling.
Thank you. This is better than network television any day.
An honest hard day's work always puts a smile on a guy!
You always have a smile... Keep it up, you're great at what you do, being you... Love watching from the left coast!
I can define a good day. A blue sky, the smell of hay and engine oil from a working Farmall C in front of a four bar rake and an compliment from my grandfather after he finishes bailing on the good job you did raking.
Great video. Enjoy watching your working on farm. 50 years ago worked on a farm where we mow raked and used sled to take hay into stack. Old gentleman I worked for done all work with horses. Thank you for sharing farm life with us.
I really enjoyed watching you rake hay. I suffer from chronic sciatic pain and it was particularly bad all night, but your video helped distract my mind this morning. Thank you.
Good morning from Ithaca Michigan. I just love how wonderful your tractors look after you redo them.
I love the drone footage segments... Especially when the drone captures its own shadow! Wonderful land, beautiful equipment - There's absolutely nothing not to love about these videos!
Back to your channel roots. My mini vacation. Thank you pete.
Love it out on the tractor. To hear the rake and hay. Just a joy. Thanks again.
Been enjoying since you Were less then 1,000 been great. Love you and family and congratulations for wonderful moments happy times and joy you gave me❤❤❤
The fields looked just great after the racking. I am 73yr. Love watching your podcast. I was raised on a farm in Michigan, we had same animals as you have.
Thanks so much for the podcast cast.
So enjoy watching you work with the old equipment. I grew up on an H and a B Farmall.
Who would have ever thought about watching a guy rake his hay fields could make for such entertainment 😊. Thanks for sharing Pete! I along with so many others really appreciate you, and your sense of humor and the kind of no nonsense approach to farming and life. Oh yeah didn't want forget mentioning how amazing all the hard work that you put into the maintenance and upkeep of those farm tractors is paying off and they really do look amazing 🤩. keep up the good work 💪
I just love your personality, talking to the animals and saying mostly positive comments. It's always a great start to my day!
I absolutely loved the 'firing up' of all the tractors. I'm a tractor dude myself!! Thanks, Pete!!
Bringing back memories of my high school years when I would go help my buddies dad put up hay. Of course we put up square bales and had to toss square bales onto the wagon and put them up in the rafters in the barn.
Running a tractor and rake in a field is therapy for me. Even watching you raking is therapeutic for me, Thank you!
I love seeing equipment that old doing a perfect job. Love that.
I think it is wonderful that all the tractors started. it appeared that you didn't have any problems with them. The hat is a very wise choice, Pete. You aren't out there for a beauty contest!
Your arial photography adds so much to the work. Nice touch to catch your neighbor doing the same work. June in USNY, great time, miss it. Have a great day.
Good morning Pete and Mrs Pete, and all the animals
You're living my dream, thank you so much Hillary and Pete......your time and effort creating content is so appreciated
Thanks Pete/Hilary, it's so nice to see someone that still takes great care of their tools and machinery to work the land.
Love the drone view as you rake. Hope you keep doing that. As a little kid about 81 years ago, I used to sit on a hillside and watch my grampa work his fields with his two old mules. When he got his tractor he would sometimes take me with him. Precious memories.
What a wonderful upbringing you had on the dairy farm! 🌾🐄 It's incredible how early you started gaining field experience and the memories you have from that time. Farming truly is a noble occupation, connecting us to the land and nature. Thank you for sharing your personal story, and I'm glad these videos bring back nostalgic moments for you. Keep living the dream and cherishing those precious farming memories! 🚜🌿🌻
Yeah I can smell that hay all right. Beautiful pastime, beautiful day and beautifully restored and running old tractor! All in all, a perfect video.
Really like the fact that you have show quality older machinery that you use for their purpose.
Brings back memories of our Super C
i really enjoy watching you work all of your new old equipment
YOU, Pete, hold the title of being my FAVORITEST RUclips channel!!! SO PROUD of who you are, how you live and all those handsome old classic Farmall tractors you've restored!!! I never miss an episode!!!👨🌾💚🧑🌾💚🧑🌾💚
the sound of that tractors engine is something, thank you Pete
It was so interesting to see all those close-up/far-off perspectives, from the camera hiding in the dry grass to the aerial shots of you working the fields. Really great camera work! It enhances the story you are sharing immeasurably!
The camera in the grass is "so Pete". I always find his videos informative and funny all at the same time. By far my favorite channel right here!
I enjoy the "first person" views of operating each Tractor's control with the full operation explained at some point.
Genuinely helpful for those of us interested in, or actually in the process of, rebuilding / restoring one of these early marvels of engineering.
Thank you Pete. You reminded me of cutting, raking, & baling hay for my horses, with my JD 3020. I only have one tractor, which has to do all the field work, on my 20 acres. The children are all grown and gone, and I have to put a new fuel tank on my 3020. But at 74, probably your Dad's generation, I don't have to be in a hurry, since I also don't have any horses to feed anymore, but may get one, just for fun & something to do. Thank you again Pete, and here's wishing you & your family good health.
Another great video !!!! Thanks Pete .👍
Here in west Texas the weather is very dry during hay season. I cut alfalfa in the morning but rake and bale at night when there is a little dew on the windrow. Otherwise, I would lose too much leaf and have bales of nothing but alfalfa stalks.
Ooooh! That sweet sweet tractor starting montage. Excellent!!!
I'm not sure if this is my 3rd or 4th year watching Pete but I do remember there was a barn of old tractors and to see them refurbished all red and shiny make my heart full of joy.
Love seeing old red tractors work.
Fun to watch the raking, but the stills of the Super C made me smile.
Hay pete looks like you are having lots of fun raking your hay its its always a pleasure to see your tractor's in action can't wait to see you bail your hay thanks for sharing
Hey Pete, I think it is so awesome that all your old tractors run so well and purr like new... You do an awesome job and I admire you!!!
love seeing the ol super c working that was our workhorse in the early to mid 60s on our 100 acre farm in central oh it did it all great little tractor. great work on all your videos
As a former operator, and amature farmer. This is exactly what I needed
Pete, Beautiful restoration on all the tractors you have completed. I don't know anything about any of them but watching your restoration is such a fun activity. The tractor photos at the end were spectacular...Thank you for taking us along.
That shiny red is glorious!
Thanks for bringing back memories. I love hay season now that I'm to old to work the wagon or the loft. That was back breaking work. I love the smell of fresh hay.
Pete, love the videos - thank you for sharing. It is fantastic to see the way you work your land and work with your animals. You bring a lot of joy to a lot of people. Much appreciated. Cheers.
Thank you for the entertaining and enriching video of your hay working skills. It's a pleasure to see the Super C enjoying herself and you using her with TLC. Your episodes always help me to feel better about the world, that there are still good people that exist - you bring us closer to nature, something that many of us crave, need and want. Much appreciation to you and yours for taking the time to create, edit and publish these gems. You helped to make my day, Pete, and I think you.
I loved my time on the farm, lot of work yes but it was worth it, watching this takes me back to our farms over in bland VA. Thanks for the time you put in to these.
Thank you for letting me ride with you.
The drone operator is doing an excellent job! A birds-eye view makes a world of difference.
This was a Super C video Pete, and still there is farmers with old school tractors in running condition but prefer doing that job in perfect weather with 4x4 six cylinder cab tractor, lol, I could see you enjoyed every moment
I love it when you act silly knocking down the cameras and your dad joke etc.. It's part of the reason we love your channel so much because of your personality.
I love your channel Pete, seeing these old machines working is so satisfying! And the noise they make is like music to my ears!
Kind regards, a fan from Sweden
Always a good day when the Farmalls are out of the barn.
Good morning to Just a few acres! Just want to say how much I appreciate your efforts to post these videos! They are all great and a highlight of my day. And: nothing at all to criticize! Fabulous job!
Goodmorning Pete. Beautiful day. Thanks for your time today. Lots of work lots of work. 😊 I just love seeing you work those old tractors. Makes my day.
Great way to show you don't need new and fancy equipment to bale hay!
Early morning surprise, watching Pete do his thing. Hello from Missouri.
Love the videos. I'll be back in MY next week visiting family. I'm so excited for some humidity. Colorado is dry.
The bovine complaint department always makes me laugh! Great video Pete.
It's a thrill to see you work those old tractors.👍👍👍
Pete, i love fresh cut hay, it smells so nice, i use to help my neighbour when i was a kid, he is long passed on to heaven, but i still remember those days of cutting, raking and baling, with him, his name was Teddy, we only did hay once a year here in New Brunswick, town of St. George, Canada, i'm 59 now, he also h ad a FRICK SAWMILL, use to help him with that also, well, help him where i could, he use to reward me with fresh milk, and home made BUTTER, and fresh garden vegetables, IT WAS AWESOME WHEN I WAS A KID, those were the days. Wish i could turn back time sometimes. Love your video's keep up making them, i will keep watching, brings back memories. of my childhood.
The sound of the gears in the SuperC brings back memories of raking hay in my childhood .
Super C is the right tool for that job. Don't need a lot of HP to rake and it gets great fuel economy. The people that built it are all dead and gone, but look at it still doing what they built it to do. 19:48 Glamour shots!
The most genuine people on here.
Good morning, Pete. I wanted to say that everything I learned about farming from you will always be priceless to me.
It’s always a good morning to wake up to one of your videos!
We just camped on a farm in Essex England at the weekend. Farmer was doing grass cutting of a field with his tractor and side cutting sythe. Amazing different countrys but same tasks , using similar equipment. Brings joy to my heart. 😊
I love your videos Pete you Hilary and Henry are a inspiration to the farm tuber world love it Pete keep up the good work
My husband and I enjoy all your videos. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, views and sense of humor. ✌ Peace.
Red Power...70 years old and still on the job!
I really enjoy watching people farm with the old equipment, it brings back fond memories. Thanks for your videos.
Fantastic cinematography. Very evocative. Thanks.
Is there anything more satisfying than storing up feed for the cold winter?? Due to a family funeral, I got to stand on our old farmland in that deep alluvial soil downriver from Pickwick Dam in W. TN last weekend. Yes, we rotated the corn with hay, square bales, of course. I remember having to turn each bale over before picking it up because of cottonmouths and copperheads that would hide there if the bale stayed on the ground overnight! Thanks Pete for the sights and sounds... they minister to me.
Hey Pete old equipment works like new when you complete rebuild it. You have a nice collection of Red Power. Can’t argue with that. You have a gift for taking a worn out piece of lost history and bringing it back to life. They built things to last back then and those tractors fed the world. Shane so many are setting around rusting away.
Love watching the old equipment do what it was designed and built to do. New is nice but the old is classic.
Great job Pete, I thought I was the only one talks to my tractors/equipment, many times in a different tone, pitch , level of excitement , and definitely different scenarios. Loved watching you rake the hay, old times.
Yeah, a Super C; the first tractor that I learned on. That little girl and I raked, pulled wagons, powered the elevator, and just an all around small job gem.
I grew up with red tractors, I appreciate how well you maintain them.
I love your tractor collection. Your appreciation for these reliable pieces of machinery makes me smile.
Yay for hat wearers! I started wearing hats 40+ years ago, after my wife's first skin cancer.
Pete thanks for all the work you put into the videos. I really enjoy watching them.
What impressed you with his farm?
Make hay wen the sun shines n Pete brings this ole saying to real life….love it
While the tone is alittle different than our old M the sound of the Super C takes me back to the days raking and baking hay on the farm as a kid. Miss you dad….
