You know when it has been a great day for stacking hay when you come out of the loft looking like you have been rained on for an hour. Worst farm job but its fun to look back on it and remember the fun we made out of it.
Use to take a 166 hay inverter with table extension and lay one windrow over on one ,slows baler down and keeps it fuller. I know hay drys faster in singles😂😂. All hay on edge,sorry picky here🤫🤫heard of the salt trick though! Thanks young man, beautiful country!
That's the best part of having the old equipment. You can fix it with what you have on hand. Thank you for sharing a fantastic day on the farm. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Enjoy watching you still using that ‘mature’ equipment. Brings back memories of our old M. They serve the purpose and it also shows the tremendous mechanical skills you have in order to keep it running. Not only the repairs required but most importantly, the preventive maintenance. Keep it up 👍
Love seeing the old equipment still going. Wish back then My dad had a kick baler instead of us stacking on the wagons. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.
This brings back a lot of memories for me on my grandads dairy farm. When it's time to bale hay we all got busy. My job was stacking square bales in the wagon so more would fit and stacking the hay loft nice and tight. Can't believe I used to slide down the elevator but I followed my uncle. Blame him 🤣🤣
Hello Gierok family, always enjoy your videos....no matter the content, always educational, entertaining and interesting. Be well stay safe. BTW, never seen the cow/milk can welcome sign before, nice addition 👍🍻
Our 656 did that a couple times get all 3 of those in the middle and you are good to go your clutch and TA need to be adjusted or make sure the TA is pulled back before you shift!
Just love watching your channel. Beautiful country side, the hills etc. Reminds me of Switzerland. My family came from Switzerland a few generations back so I feel the connection. Love your camera angles on the equipment, really gives the feeling of being there. Keep up the good work, you are really a pleasure to watch.
Nice video, thank you! You farm such a beautiful place! Nice to see everyone working together! edit: Some of those shots from the mow, esp. when your brother was brushing loose hay off the elevator after unloading the wagon, took me right back to my teen years, just in an instant. I could feel it and almost smell it all again like it used to be. Thanks for keeping human scale farming traditions alive! I recently subscribed. I was wondering how many of you are there in the family, and I'm trying to learn all of your names. I was hoping for a family photo in your 'about' channel section, but no luck lol Thanks again!
Sometimes breakdowns are part of the game. Glad you got the 686 going. We've had the same thing happen on our 656. Reworked the linkages during the off season and was able to eliminate some of the problem-causing sloppiness. Looks like all of you work well together to accomplish a lot despite some minor setbacks!!!
Did you guys ever figure out what was wrong with the Oliver? Great video. I remember growing up on the farm working on tractors and how you could alway “rig” it up to keep them running. Things were so much simpler back then. God bless you and your family and thank you for what you do.
Tell me if I am wrong, with farm work the harder you push after awhile the easier it gets. You get stronger and the work gets lighter, to a point, you find a pace and it is amassing how much you can accomplish in a short amount of time.
Great video, that new baler sure eats the hay. I noticed there is no crank or handle to control the kicker speed like on the old baler. How do you speed up or slow it down ?? Just curious
Speed shifting will lock it up!🤣! This old JD is easy to fix if you lock it up! My dad use to give hair cuts to the boys that helped put hay in, with the cow clippers! they would come and want a hair cut, so they would help put hay in, and go home with a BUZZ! One mother got mad over the hair cut, so he would come and want a hair cut, but my Dad wouldn't give him one!🤣
Howdy neighbor I’m in Jackson Wisconsin I am just wondering because I’ve never been a farmer. What is the solution in the tanks on the small Baler, and what does it do?
Had a triple sec survived seven or eight years it did the same thing one time scared me to death I'm thinking I'm in for a big transmission job and all it was was that and it's easy enough to fix
@@craigmiller4259 well if you haven't talked to anybody else back here, I can tell you we've had very spotty rainfall this summer the but I think only one or two days maybe three that it went above 90°cattle prices seem to be pretty good drink prices this so far staying pretty stable. Far as on our place we just started this week the green chop't to supplement the pasture a little bit then looks like we're going to be winning some pretty nice calves here in about another 6 weeks. LOL big truck show up at the farm show tonight. Sitting here in the front porch listen to the pool and then blow their horns at the end of the track but I think I'm going to have to go in it's getting cold out here talkin about 42 for a low tonight that's as cold as it has been since early May. Good to hear from you Craig. If you ever get home stop by and see us
Good to hear Guy. Small grains are getting finished here. Silage cutting is well under way and soybeans are starting to be harvested. Have some straw and hay to finish up for the year and then back to building fence. Nice to hear from you

Love the sound of that super m

Great repair job
That's the UPDATED VERSION OF THE SUPER MTA ❤❤😊😊😊
We would rake in higher gear, but at low throttle, and the tractor s would sip fuel. Nothing like a NH baler for taking in the hay! Great video!
That's the best part of having the old equipment. You can fix it with what you have on hand. Thank you for sharing a fantastic day on the farm. Please stay safe, and God bless.
You have some beautiful scenery on your farm!
like your red tractors
Thanks for keeping us in the loop with your explanation of the 686 repair. That sort of thing is one of my favorite parts of your videos.

Yeehaw keep up the great work and keep them tractors working strong
Another great video . Always going to have equipment break downs, but your family runs like a well lubed machine.
Nice to have sliding tongues on the wagons, we didn"t have them years ago. It was pull or push the wagon till ya got it hitched up.
Enjoyed watching the video 😊
you are one supper guy good video
Congratulations on this good third crop,, especially given the dry conditions from earlier this year!
Love seeing the old equipment still going. Wish back then My dad had a kick baler instead of us stacking on the wagons. Hope you and your family have a blessed weekend.

Really nice haying in late fall it's cooler You get to fall you get the rain but your warm sunny days are numbered Great video
Another great baling video
What a view !
What a beautiful farm. George was lpving life running the baler. 😂😂😂
Hard to beat that sound of that old M I frigging love it
Wow, nice!! Glad you had a quick fix and back in business. And wow, some impressive baling speeds!
Nice fix.
I like the bolt fix replacing the hardened keyed factory pin. If it wears out after awhile it's no sweat to fix it that way again.
Hello Gierok family, always enjoy your videos....no matter the content, always educational, entertaining and interesting. Be well stay safe.
BTW, never seen the cow/milk can welcome sign before, nice addition 👍🍻
I'm surprised you didn't rake 2 in 1 to make a more challenging windrow for that new baler?
Good work and always enjoy seeing your fields and cattle. Good fix. Take Care and am grateful that the rain did come for you.
Remember it well. The closer you got to the tin roof the hotter it got. Great video. All the best 🇬🇧.
We used to always double the third or forth windrow in instead of the outside to stay away from the woods where it seemed like it took forever to dry.

Nice video. What's the situation with the Oliver? Have not heard anything about it in a while

Iconic Wisconsin views, I can almost smell the hay here in Missouri! Love seeing the well loved tractors in use. An updates on the Oliver?
Wow, does this ever bring back memories! My brothers and my dad sure did alot of this! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome views

In the pre new baler days did you run two balers or do you only use one in latter cuttings because fewer bales to make.
Those hills, You have to know how to farm them.
I'd love to see that Ole red stripe doing some work
Hee Hee Haw, ya sure there's enough room in there for that Gear wrench???? On my wish list also.
I think New Holland makes the best Hay rakes as well as the small square balers!!/ at least that’s been our experience with them!!

That New Holland bailer eats hay like a five year old at a all you can eat ice cream bar.
Hi There is a channel called: Just a few Acres farm, that has a lot of videos on restoring farmall tractors. Gods peace to you.
I've never seen that salt trick in my whole life
Ouch. It helps to have a good idea to whats going on when something happens. Whether it is harvesting or fixing, there is always something to do.
That linkage problem was an issue on older cars. An easy fix.
Bent a fork that engaged the pto when I started to roto the garden this spring. Can be a real pain when a tractor is down
You guys are awesome love the old tractors. The Deere is great but the old tractors are great. Your mechanic ability is impressive. Great family
we always had a bag of salt in our mow. dad made us sprinkle some on every layer
Great video, that new baler sure eats the hay. I noticed there is no crank or handle to control the kicker speed like on the old baler. How do you speed up or slow it down ?? Just curious
Do you still have the other old baler or did you get rid of both of the old baler
Paul from Iowa, Did you say Deere wrenches???
👍
What has made y’all stick with small squares all these years? Is it the hills? Or just never thought about switching over to round bales?
Speed shifting will lock it up!🤣! This old JD is easy to fix if you lock it up! My dad use to give hair cuts to the boys that helped put hay in, with the cow clippers! they would come and want a hair cut, so they would help put hay in, and go home with a BUZZ!

you make round bales save haveing to chase all over the field they would roll down to bottom how many bales inn a wagon
Howdy neighbor I’m in Jackson Wisconsin I am just wondering because I’ve never been a farmer. What is the solution in the tanks on the small Baler, and what does it do?
?
what state is this please , nice area
Stick welder. Their all arc welders.
Have you heard of MRG on RUclips? He’s made a map in farming simulator with your farm on it. He did a stream on it last night.
What kind of salt do you put on your bales
HOW DOES SALT ON THE HAY REDUCE THE CHANCE FOR SPONTANIOUSE COMBUSTION. I SAW MY UNCLE DO IT IN THE HAY LOOF IN 1945 iN MINNESOTA.
Had a triple sec survived seven or eight years it did the same thing one time scared me to death I'm thinking I'm in for a big transmission job and all it was was that and it's easy enough to fix
How is it going in the old country?

If you want people to watch your videos get rid of the idiotic youtube ads.
Unfortunately they can't control them, it's ytube.
If they are monitized it another source of income.
That New Holland bailer eats hay like a five year old at a all you can eat ice cream bar.
And it squirts out the backside like one too!
575 is a great baler. Only time you slow down is never. They just eat
