    Thank you for showing us how the bailer functions inside. I was curious about it. It is a lot of work yet you make it all look so calming and relaxing. Your drone footage is fantastic and I finally saw how you were multitasking the drone with your tractor work. You have so many practical talents and real-life farm experiences on your "just a few acres farm". Thank you for sharing your life with us. Shalom(Peace)

    I loved the inside look of the bailer! My dad makes round bales as well for his cattle, though he runs John Deere. I had never really seen the mechanics of how those type of bailers do their job.

  • @Elger77
    @Elger77 Год назад +1

    Pete, thank you for the vicarious return to my childhood. Of course we did square bails. The hay was always too wet or dry. If too wet, one could wait a day unless rain was in the forecast. If too dry, well rain would cause mildew. Farming is always a gamble with most of the variables beyond control. Never thought I would miss those days of driving a tractor for hours in the sun and dust. These days most have air conditioned cabs.

    Thanks Pete! That was super interesting. As a non-farmer, I've always wondered whatt the inner workings of a round baler looked like. Now I can tell my kids what happens when I mommy bale and a daddy bale love each other SO much...! ;-)

    Well, if there's a good side to the extra dry hay not baling as nicely, the mulch left behind will help the pasture grow.

  • @reedchandler2372
    @reedchandler2372 Год назад

    I loved the video. Making hay is a very rewarding activity. Growing up in Idaho in a very dry climate I remember going out at 4 in the. Morning to bale while there was some dew on the hay to keep it from shattering, and we would have to quit by 10. It was always satisfying to compete each stage. Cutting, baling and then hauling and stacking. I remember my biggest day. I hauled 30 stacks of hay with our New Holland stack wagon, and our JD 3020. Each stack had 70 bales in it.

    Another great video; I learn something new with every video. The fact that you have repaired and or rebuilt your tractors yourself let’s you know just by sound, sight, or feel what might be wrong with a tractor and the fix needs to be. Marvelous and talented. 👍🏻👍🏻

    @marjoriejohnson6535 Год назад

    That's one fancy baler...but then again my memory of baling goes back to Berkshire when I think my father was the last farmer to not have a tractor but horses. The horses scared me up close but I loved watching them from a distance while they pulled the baler,

    Pete, sorry about the hydraulic leak and the wrecked Drone.....! All in All you got the Hay baled w/2 hiccups.... I suppose it could have been much worse but we won't go there because nothing else happened. Some things we have to expect to happen but we never know what it's gonna be.....? Things don't always give us a sign they're going to go bad, it's wear and tear on the equipment and it's connections, whether mechanical, electrical, hydraulic or..? Larger Farms have to call in the troops(service people) to get repairs done and it's not cheap...! Thankfully you are well versed enough in the many years of operation that you can deal w/all down times and fix things yourself...! Great day of baling the hay it's done except for the storage..! =)

    Sorry about the tractor but I know we will be seeing and learning about what’s needed to fix the situation. And I’m sorry about the drone but those last shots were really interesting and cool (yep, I’m dating myself🙃). Your drone shots are always good and help bring perspective to what you are doing and showing us.
