Beautiful farm, beautiful tractors, beautiful crop, beautiful animals, beautiful and gracious people. Some of the very best content on RUclips. Thank you.
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)
Great camera angles Pete! Sorry about the drone casualty, but it sure was fun to watch and the extra effort you put into it with the text and your voice-over really shows how you're getting things done. Thank-you!!
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.
Thanks for the video! This is my first attempt at baling so I’m on edge. Your videos help tons. I’m in Niagara county and have Dexters. Hope to add another heifer to the family. See you at the market sometime!
I love trying to follow the workings of the machinery. You explain parts so well. A lifetime of experience and knowledge to pass down to your kids. Lucky kids...
Thank you for showing how it works, I was wondering. Love your farm and how you show us the everyday nuts and bolts. I also enjoy all your tractors, so cool.
Pretty quiet with no monsters... pork chops!! 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. RIP drone, you gave us wonderful perspective of the work happening and the lay of the land, as well as the fun of buzzing Patty and company.
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.
Such a relaxing video to watch on a Sunday, even with breakdowns and casualties you handle it well and keep a calm and collected composure. I hope you plan to make a video similar of loading the hay in the barn “tomorrow”
I am soon embarking on starting a small hay farm. I thank you Pete, for your inspiration and I hope to meet you and shake your hand to show my appreciation for what you bring!
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,
Loving your last two hay baling videos. Seeing the close ups of machinery and the birds eye view. Photography is superb! I live in Indiana, and we have high temperatures and low humidity right now, I assume the hay is dry right now too.
Thanks, Pete. A neighbour has lent me a book, 'Ask The Fellows That Make Tge Hay.' Another good read is 'Farmers Glory.' Very best wishes to and for all.
Hi Pete! I'm not a farmer but love seeing yours and seeing all you and Hilary do. Let's not forget your jokes!!😅😅 I have shared several of them! Keep up the good work. I'll keep rooting for you!
Pete. You give us such a blessed perspective on farm life. We have a small farm in east Texas and you have helped me through several farm projects and problems. I’m retired but all is relevant. Inspiring is my takeaway from you. God bless.
So often the video's are really enjoyable and entertaining thanks for sharing. You all appear to have been able to create such a full and filling life which everyone else should understand didn't just happen overnight. Thanks for sharing.
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. 👍🏻👍🏻
What a nice job Pete thank you for all the different camera angles it was SO Much FUN to watch this Round Baling action. Really enjoyed it. Keep up sharing the wonderful action
Pete you got dirty the way we used to on the farm! My uncle had an Allis Chalmers small round baler then a New Holland big round baler which eliminated a lotta manual labor. Enjoy your videos!
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..! =)
such a dangerous job being a flying cameraman, RIP mr droney mcdroneface. we will always appreciate your scenic views of the cattle and sweeping landscape shots.
Ciao Pete, dovrai programmare un intervento meccanico urgente per quel trattore. Complimenti,hai davvero una bellissima fattoria. Un saluto dell'Italia 👋 👋.👍👍👍👍
Morning Pete, you can buy parts for those drones. It looks like it was only missing a propeller. There's something else wrong with it. It's not replaceable. You should keep it for parts.
I ordered your book from Amazon. Looking forward to reading it. Watching cutting and bailing with the older (but good condition) equipment is enjoyable. Take care.
Loved watching you cut_ bale hay. Reminds me of years gone by. We didn't have a round baler. Just a kicker baler and a wagon, We hired young me to load it. I was little and always wanted to ride on the tractor with my grandpa. Such great memories.
Thanks, Pete! I spoke a few words at one of the guys' graduation this afternoon who had cycled out of the program into gainful employment, "T...". It will tickle him when he sees you shirt 'cause we're both Made There! Thank you again for your family's impact on his development across the board. His Mom thanks you, too!
Hay making is so fulfilling, food in the barn, clean field ready to grow again (given rain...) and a neat looking farm showing its ability to produce, got to love it. Have a great day.
I am always impressed by how well you know the workings and insides of your equipment, especially the tractors. That you diagnosed the problem with the tractor so easily and so quickly is not something that I am capable of.
You can always count on something needs fixing when baling hay it seems. The drone finished it's life with honour. Filming right to the end with excellent video.
I really like these haying videos most of all, not that I don't enjoy all the others just about as much, I have done hay for over 30 years. It's nice to see someone else do hay and get their perspective opinions and thoughts. We had a New Holland 654 4 wide by 4 to 6 feet round that was twine and it too had the bale density adjustment. Used it for 15 years until it broke down and the cost was too high to repair. Went to a net wrap John Deere 450E, like it a lot, keeps better through the winter, stored outside. Well, thanks Pete, looks great, I hope your Sunday is good, have a great week.
Hello Pete. I just finished up my hay first cut. Mine was very dry as well. I struggled to get a hard solid core this year. It’s all part of the process. 👍
The hubby here is a drone enthusiast. Sad to see your drone bite the dust and believe me, he feels your pain. He's got three of them, his largest is a Skydio. Two are in the process of being fixed. We both marvel at the great footage you have provided with your recently passed on drone. Sure hope you are able to get another.
Just a beautiful farm , thank you for bringing us along . I just enjoy watching you and family keeping up the place that has been in your family for generations . You have a legacy that that one can be so proud of ! Happy peaceful life thank you for sharing again just can't say it enough make my day
I can hear the stress in your voice, Pete. We generally don't hay until beginning of July. But seeing videos like this already has my nerves going. It's my favorite time of year and also my most nervous time of year. Take care and thanks for the great videos.
POSITIVE COMMENTS LOL, I just got done watching Tyler @ Farmer Tyler Ranch do his hay bailing- and yes he mentioned you in the video 😊 Interesting the different concerns, conditions and the way things need to be done between Northern California and where you are at. 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. As always I enjoyed and learned something new. 👍🏼
Hi Pete... I watched 3 different farming videos today and each time some of the equipment broke. So you are in good company ;-) Good luck with fixing your tractor.
Keep up the great work! Sorry about your equipment. Man how I know the feeling myself when trying to bale. Especially here in South Carolina. God bless you and your family!
Sorry about Mr. Drone; he was a hard worker! RIP That hay did look dry, but it will eat and that is all that matters in the long run. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Spent many a Sunday after noon bailing hay as a teenager . Only with a newholand super 68 bailer and either an M or 300 with a loader running the bailer. Those square wire bails were a pain most weighed 70lbs. Great video ! keep up the great video making ! Love this and sorry about the drone !
Thanks for the entertaining video. Always enjoy getting up Sunday morning and watching a new Jafaf video. Sorry for your loss. Hope to see you here in Grand Island in a couple weeks.
What a wonderful life you have. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and especially your attitude. So positive and enlightening. You are a beautiful human being. Thank you!
Ahh, but the Dad jokes keep droning on and on! Thankfully the Dad jokes are indestructible. Thanks for taking us along. Too bad about the drone. I love those high shots and I am amazed on what those will do.
To hear "hi this is Pete welcome to Just a Few Acres Farm" means it's going to be a great Sunday morning. Thanks Pete you are the best.

Another great video Pete. Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos and sharing them with all of us! 😎
Good morning Pete and Mrs Pete
It's a girl, no! - it's a boy, no! - it's a hay bale!!! Congrats to 25 new additions to your hay barn!
Good morning Pete! My 3 year old and I Iook forward to your videos every day. Keep up the Good work. Great wholesome videos. Thank You Pete
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.
Bailers keep boats from sinking. Balers make hay bales.
God Bless 🙏 all farmer's big or small farms. Thank You.
Thanks for the video! This is my first attempt at baling so I’m on edge. Your videos help tons. I’m in Niagara county and have Dexters. Hope to add another heifer to the family. See you at the market sometime!
11:35 Love the video of bale gestation.
Hay equipment. Not if it breaks, when it breaks. Few things in life are a given, but break downs during hay season are a guarantee.
I absolutley love all your "old" tractors. They sure get things done.
Hope to see you next week at the farmers market. We’re flying in from California for the wife’s high school reunion.
Pete, it sure was wonderful to join you on the hay field this morning. Thanks for showing up.
Great to see the hay crop all baled. All the best 🇬🇧.
Pete, thanks for sharing and bringing back memories of making the small square bales as a very young man.
I love trying to follow the workings of the machinery. You explain parts so well. A lifetime of experience and knowledge to pass down to your kids. Lucky kids...
How comforting to be able to bale hay on an ideal hay day from in front of my computer screen. I do miss it. Thanks Pete.
I know you find cutting hay relaxing and for some reason so do we when watching videos you post. Perfect time for thinking
Thanks Pete for taking us along on your hay baling efforts. There's satisfaction in fixing equipment breakdowns too! Well done.
Hi Pete, thanks for a another great hay baling video. So sorry about the hydraulic leak and the loss of your drone. Blessings to you and your family.
Thanks, Pete, for the insight into round bale mechanics and technique; and the many factors that go into it.
I love watching your videos, and love the dynamic that you and Hillary have! God Bless you both and your family!
Despite myself, I find that I’m enjoying the machinery side of the operation more and more. Appreciate ya!
Great video Pete. Totally enjoyed the hay coming in. It's great when the whole family works together.
Pete, I like the way you maintain and care for your equipment. You are an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure kind of guy.
From all appearances your baler worked exceptionally well. You are blessed!
Thank you for showing how it works, I was wondering. Love your farm and how you show us the everyday nuts and bolts. I also enjoy all your tractors, so cool.
Here we go again..... And loving it!
Love your vids, don't change anything, keep them coming, Thanks Kempton PA.
Love seeing the hay being baled! I'm excited to see the new bale wagon in action next😊
Pretty quiet with no monsters... pork chops!!
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.
RIP drone, you gave us wonderful perspective of the work happening and the lay of the land, as well as the fun of buzzing Patty and company.

Frist time I seen a baller like this working, Saw Bales for year s in the field but not how it was done, Thanks for taking me along,
We own 1 cow and 6 sheep, and buy round bales like these from a local farm. It's interesting to see how these are made. Thank you for sharing!
Love all your videos, nice to see the kids out there with mom Hillary.
Sorry Droney RIP!
I am soon embarking on starting a small hay farm. I thank you Pete, for your inspiration and I hope to meet you and shake your hand to show my appreciation for what you bring!
Always enjoy your videos Pete. Breakdowns are part of farming. Casualties happen as well, but you made progress. See you in the next one.
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, I know you said you no longer read the comments and that’s Ok, your choice. Watching you work and feed America is a real pleasure so Thank You.
Thanks, Pete. A neighbour has lent me a book, 'Ask The Fellows That Make Tge Hay.'
Another good read is 'Farmers Glory.'
Very best wishes to and for all.
Nice to come along for the ride with you during this busy time of the year. Thanks Pete from Ottawa, Ontario.
Always have wondered how the bailer works the hay into those huge rolls. Thank you, Pete !
Hi Pete! I'm not a farmer but love seeing yours and seeing all you and Hilary do. Let's not forget your jokes!!😅😅 I have shared several of them! Keep up the good work. I'll keep rooting for you!

Love the videos Pete. I am definitely getting the urge to go back to NY and start my own small farm. I miss hay season.
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. 👍🏻👍🏻
I really enjoy your farm life Pete and Hillary. THANKS from Australia.
ASMR Hay baling, aaahhh. The hypnotic purr of your tractors is magic.
Wow never knew how those bails were made. Thank you Pete for the lesson and all that you do!
What a nice job Pete thank you for all the different camera angles it was SO Much FUN to watch this Round Baling action. Really enjoyed it. Keep up sharing the wonderful action
Loved seeing the process of making a new baby hay bale!
Pete you got dirty the way we used to on the farm! My uncle had an Allis Chalmers small round baler then a New Holland big round baler which eliminated a lotta manual labor. Enjoy your videos!
The engineering to manufacture a reliable baler is fantastic!
Hi Pete, I’m so sorry Droney McDroneface took one for the team. Maybe you will replace it. Love the drone footage. Have a great day.
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.....?

Pete I am really looking forward to seeing your farm grow even more!
such a dangerous job being a flying cameraman, RIP mr droney mcdroneface. we will always appreciate your scenic views of the cattle and sweeping landscape shots.
Enjoyed the different angles of the baler functioning as well as the high perspective of the farm. You folk are a part of the backbone of our country.
7:35...a perfect bale if there ever was one!
Ciao Pete, dovrai programmare un intervento meccanico urgente per quel trattore. Complimenti,hai davvero una bellissima fattoria.
Un saluto dell'Italia 👋 👋.👍👍👍👍

Great video, sorry about the tractor and drone, thanks for class on bailing hey. See you soon.
I just wanted to say, I love all the angles you get, they are very informative! Thank you for all you do!
Exactly! What an excellent way to start my Sunday morning!
Coffee
Just a few acres

Thanks Pete for sharing the hay bailing day on the farm it’s always good to know when u have your hay in the barn for the winter .

Good to see all the hay baled at least, though it's too dry like you said. Good luck with your tractor. See ya!
Just a beautiful farm , thank you for bringing us along . I just enjoy watching you and family keeping up the place that has been in your family for generations . You have a legacy that that one can be so proud of ! Happy peaceful life thank you for sharing again just can't say it enough make my day
Always wondered if there were any whoopsies with driving the tractor and flying the drone at the same time. Now I know.
I can hear the stress in your voice, Pete. We generally don't hay until beginning of July. But seeing videos like this already has my nerves going. It's my favorite time of year and also my most nervous time of year. Take care and thanks for the great videos.

Here in Finland we started making silage bales yesterday 15.6. Your videos are awesome.
I could do that all day. How self satisfied you must be. Great work Pete and Hillary
12:18 thanks for providing us a look into the inside workings of the bailer!
I really enjoyed seeing you get all the bales.....ANd, you always do it with a smile! Thanks, Pete!! Bev in Maine
What a wonderful life you have. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and especially your attitude. So positive and enlightening. You are a beautiful human being. Thank you!
Watching ypu cut rake and bail hay is my favorite part of your channel pete love the lifestyle you chose keep up the great work buddy
Great video Pete! Reminds me of my childhood. Bailing hay is hard enough without filming it. Great job!
Ahh, but the Dad jokes keep droning on and on! Thankfully the Dad jokes are indestructible. Thanks for taking us along. Too bad about the drone. I love those high shots and I am amazed on what those will do.
