It really does my heart good seeing all those old internationals and farmalls I drove every single one of those

Unloading and stacking hay in the barn brings back a lot of good memories I have loaded and unloaded many a bales in my life time some precious memories thanks guys
I used to do hay with my Dad. I ran the rake, then drive hayrack and Dad put bails on rack, then I was up in hay loft stacking. Sweaty job. But our reward after was to swim in our lake to cool off. This was back in the 1950s.
like the lillies by the shop
I always would pause during the first snow storm, stand in the hay mow and watch the snow fall, and at my back was the necessary feed to get my cattle through the winter. Yeah, peace.
Loving the conveyor in the barn spent many summers shifting bakes by hand from the trailer to the barn and stacked
Memories. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Memories 👍
Nice hay guys.
Hi guys I'm a fairly new subscriber I'm 67 years old retired but my dad was a dairy farmer like you guys are I get a little teary eyed cuz my dad did actually the way you still do things thank you for bringing back good memories God speed my new friends
Great job done well . I stacked thousands and thousands it's a great feeling to look back and see the barn filling up
Always liked the smell of fresh cut hay when it’s drying. Enjoyed going inside a dairy barn when hay was being stacked in the hay mound it was always a great smell in the barn. God bless
The 656 was a Gas and the hydro 86 was the 310 German Diesel That was on a Sweet 🌽 Pusher at Green Giant in Le Sueur 😊😊❤❤1980
That is some nice looking hay
Nice to get a job completed. The extra hands help speed things along. A bale thrower and bale wagons sure make the job easier. Wouldn't want to hand load hay racks on your hills. Used to start out with an empty wagon on the steepest parts of a field, then move down to a flatter area to finish the load.
Hello Aaron-admittedly I don’t watch every second of every episode, but I hit the thumbs up in every episode. Love farming the old ways. Straight RUclips gold!
Great commentary on the baler operation
Good video
Awesome video
Great work you lads
The Hills are Alive With The Sounds of Balers!!!!
You might want to use hearing protection when operating those open station tractors. You'll won't regret protecting your hearing now years from now. Been there done that, didn't use hearing protection and now have a hearing lose from loud tractors and chain saws!
Guess you folks need big barns to store enough feed to get through those Wisconsin winters!
Luv you're videos northwest wi
I remember being in the hay mow as a kid dragging bales to my dad while grandpa threw them on the elevator!
I had dairy farmer neighbor who always said when he had nice green hay bales like yours, he could see the milk drip out of them!! I have to say riding with you on your steep fields mades me hang on to my chair arm for dear life.Scares me every time!! Thanks 😊.
...yeah, they've got one they call "Suicide Hill!"
'specially with trikes!
I had to laugh watching Mason unloading. He must have a real big date. The way he was pushing those bales off so fast. It was comical.
Your hay videos belong to my favorite ones!
Beautiful photography and lighting also capturing details e.g. the dust reflecting in the sun rays while storing the bales in the barn make it outstanding.
🏆🏆🏆
thank you
I know what Dad was thinking. He wanted no dust and air conditioning. Aaron is cooking on the 686. There's nothing like the sound of a square baler humming it at 540 rpm
Trade you places you can come down to San Antonio tx 105 to 110 degrees outside
looks to me like Owen is really getting the work out
There was an Allied hay vayer in the barn on the first dairy I worked on. This one had a section that went vertical up the outside on the end of the barn with about a 30 foot section that was attached to the base that went to the ground at a 45 degree angle. At the end of the season we took that section down and put it away. This barn is a big one. We used a 1950 John Deere 40 foot portable elevator with a Wisconsin engine to fill up to the beams and from there used the Allied. I could run a full load of hay up and stack it several times before I would start having to go stack partial loads. The system was much quieter and the old John Deere elevator was too!
Enjoy all your videos
Pretty cool video for sure can't wait to see what baler ya might get next
Just started watching you. Brings back memories of growing up on our dairy farm in Minnesota. Funny how my neck started to itch when watching you stacking bales inside. 😂
Looks like you got the broken axle fixed on the new baler. Wish you'd brought us along on the parts search and repair process.
That was me, mowing, raking, baling, plowing, chopping, silage blower, give it all she'll take! I got knocked out with hay coming off the distributor, didn't see it and stepped under! Years ago a guy was baling on a hill, had a load, and got pushed down the hill, over the RR tracks, and down in the woods. He didn't get hurt, but the machinery was a wreck!
I am itching all over. Just watching you guys unload
I would pay money to see that wonderful old barn in action.
Perhaps my favorite part of your video series is the documentation of ur family as they just go about their day to day business and interact with each other. Really like and respect your dad and mom for the way they have raised their kids. So nice to see everyone on a team working to achieve success and a happy farm.This will be such an ongoing gift to your family over the years and is irreplaceable as a "video history" of the Gierok's through time. Fantastic!
Beautiful looking hay! love that 686! Do you guys ever pull the knives and sharpen them on the balers? My grandpa said, before the round baler, they did about 40,000 small squares a year, and my great grandpa would sharpen the knives, 3 times a season. Stay safe and God bless!
I also drove a hydro 86 and a 656 hydro in year's past
Sneaking it under the power line….I like it!
Yeah, I was noticing that too. I thought our barn power lines were bad, but nothing like that. Be careful!
Hillsides and narrow front tractors 😯
I love this video. The camera angles are outstanding. Seeing how the hay goes in. I’m more of a city girl and my husband use to farm…he about died when I asked him “how do you make the hay square?”
I felt like I was right there with you every step of the way from the very minute you had to pull the pin to slide the baler tongue over to get started to watching the last bale go up the elevator. I bet the barn smells good. It’s been 21 years since I last baled hay. Now, praying for rain for you guys.
As always great content and bringing back old great memories ❤
Continual Blessing upon all your endeavors. 😊
A Super M TA! Haven't heard of one of them in a long time. My Dad had one, long time ago, horsepower wise it was a little bit bigger than our JD 620. Only difference was ours was a Super M TA diesel. Starting it was a complicated project. you had to first start it on gas, which you had to make sure you had a couple of levers in the right positions. After the engine was running smoothly, you grabbed the two levers and reversed the positions and you switched it over to diesel. It was great if you were successful and you did not stall it out. If you did, then back to the start and repeat the process. My FFA tractor driving safety kicks in watching your brother drive a bit fast on your serious sloping fields...and I see in my mind the rolling over tractor safety demonstrations at the county fair.
We have had some hot days here in south central Kansas.
I like going a baling alfalfa early morning or evening to catch a dew to keep the alfalfa leaves. Do you ever do that? Leaves are highest protein of the alfalfa.
We were out near your place riding bike yesterday. So beautiful as your videos show. Thanks for all of the work you put into providing content for us to enjoy!
lot's of hard work, dust in the heat i do not miss that. mason has a hot date and he has to get to her as fast as he can. take care, be safe and well.
I know that the hills on your farm present many challenges to your farming operations, but my, such beautiful scenery.
I just love watching you guy make hay. I love the barn and how you take such good care of the equipment. Thank for giving me a chance to relive being a teenage 60 years ago on our dairy farm. Thank you!
Stacking in the haymow... That's what I do and have become proud to do. I don't really know how that happened.... Maturity I guess.
Ah the smell of fresh green summer hay in a beautiful farm.really enjoy all the videos and content.you all do a great job at showing the world that all us farmers want to do is produce food to the highest standards and enjoy doing so.the working relationship you and your family have are what family farms do best.best of luck from Ireland.
you could hear those p.t.o. "u-joints" cryin' out in PAIN during those sharp turns...
Mason "knows where the shear pins are..." True, those grade 2 bolts ain't much...
My butt would be puckered up baling those hills they look pretty steep
Put that 1066 on the baler give her something to do
Great Red Power action
I felt hot, sweaty, chafing just watching this. Ow that hurt falling from the bailer 😅, are there any small square bailer made yet?
The camera work with the vista of the horizon and the bailers coming and going was awesome! Nice work
I never was able to take all scratches from the hay so I always wore long sleeved shirts. Hotter but my arms weren't sliced up😮
Old timers wore long johns in the summer heat.
Love watching you all work. Really reminds me of my days on the dairy farm. Stacking hay in the hay loft was by far the most unenjoyable task. However. Your barn seems to have a lot more air movement than ours did. Didnt look half bad. Still would love to help you all sometime if you need it. Next time you need help just let me know. I'll be there to help out.
Did you guys, or your dad at least happen to be at farm tech days on Thursday?
Ouch that hurt
You guys will FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU GET TO TAKE A SHOWER AND GET ALL THE CHAFF WASHED OFF ❤😊
I think the international 686 put sugar in the gas tank of the Oliver 1650 because he wants to be boss on the farm of the 1960 era mid size tractor. The says this farm isn’t big enough for the two of us. I wouldn’t let him get away with it, whenever olie gets out of the hospital and get through rehab, there should be a trial. Mr. 686 better hope he doesn’t get judge Roy Bean “the hanging judge”. I look forward to the Oliver 1650 getting back into action and putting the 686 back into his lane.
Thanks for sharing! I love the smell of fresh baled hay! One thing I noticed it seems like they store hay bales all over the place.
lotsa hard work
I Remember the farmers i worked for in school always had me stack the bales in the barn cut sides up and down. I see you guys stacking laying flat. Is there any difference or is it just personal preference in stacking
Great video. Hot day in the mow. I d sweat my butt off and come out of the mow and felt like i hit air-conditioning at 90 degrees!!!!! Definitely puts you in shape bucking bales.
i don't miss small bales at all, lol i've done alot
Bales falling off the elevator. Been there done that.
Great camera angles of your work! I put many hours of my youth baling hay and straw with square balers in Indiana. Hardest work and most rewarding, im 44 now, most everyone use round or large square balers now. How big is your herd at this time of year?
I have found that baling during the night produces higher quality alfalfa hay. Leaf retention is much, much better when there is dew on the alfalfa hay. There was very little green dust in the air at night. I would go out anywhere from 11:00PM-12:00Midnight and bale till about 9:00AM. I never went back to baling during the day again.
You have a Great conveyor system. Woundering what brabd that conveyor is ?
Oh I know all about the heat buddy I work in a massive machine shop we build valves for the navy and we have 4 huge ovens so when it's 90 outside its very very very hot inside lol
I would keep that 575. I traded my 570 for a brand spanking new 275. Keeps snaping the main shear bolt. Been nothing but a nightmare!
I swear there's nothing worse than this world then headed to be 90 95° humid outside and the day and baler won't tie lol
Is it ever really scary driving on those big steep hills at all?
Hooe everyone get rain just love you're farm
You can hear how the 575 has more plunger strokes per minute than the 273.
ive been watching your content for about two years. very interesting. your farm is nearly in perfect order . nearly all the systems are wash rinse repeat except for 1. the stone wall where the tire rides up and then blocks of wood need to be stacked to get the proper balance needs to be fixed. its way too much work getting the lift in order when the stone needs to be moved over about ten feet. problem solved.
Mason: "..I'm in a hurry to get things done
Oh, I rush and rush until life's no fun
All I really gotta do is live and die
Even I'm in a hurry and don't know why…"
Take it easy son. Next thing you know these days will be done.
Yes sir!!
Do you ever test your hay for moisture or temperature before storing in the barn?
River where you at, no work today?
How do you guys feel about ampi lately?
Why do you guys make such small bales. I mean they look small. Just curious. We always find they stack better being a little longer. You guys have a good one
How many bales did you get
Ill bet the football coaches were after you guys! If you had that kinda time on your hands!
Hi guys, I asked this before but never heard anything ... what the latest on th Oliver??
Evidently I must have missed hearing you say why, but...........
#1) Were you unable to find someone to hire, to actually stack bales on the trailers?
#2) Why did you have multiple people unloading the trailer, yet no one in the barn actually stacking bales as they came in?
#3) I stacked hay for decades. And if we had let bales drop from that height onto each other, the twine on the bales would have snapped, and there would have been loose hay everywhere in the barn.
ROPS?
Is 1.5:1 length to width recommend for throw balers? I grew up pulling and stacking 2:1 off an John Deere.
That’s as hilly as the home farm in Hollandale
I'm sorry, but when the camera fell, I was concerned that it was the 686 itself. Made me jump for 2-3 seconds. Seriously, I've never liked narrow front ends on hills like yours. How much time, energy, effort, and money would it take to put a wide front on that tractor?
Do your balers ever miss tying a bale? I've never seen it on your videos.
