Man I could watch an hour straight of just mowing. Talking or no talking. Doesn't matter if it's all drone or all on board footage, or a mix of both. There is something therapeutic about the sights and sounds of a tractor in a field. And I'm serious. I could watch an hour straight.
There's no denying it - THAT's a great day of farming. I'm so glad that the new calf is doing just fine. Only the 'murder drone' put a slight damper on the day.
I truly enjoy your videos! I know it is a lot of trouble setting up the cameras and all the editing that’s required, but watching you cutting hay is very relaxing to me. Thank you for your channel, I never miss one. Thanks Pete.
Yes Pete I like your videos too. They're so relaxing keep up the good work, and it's always nice to see Hillary working along with you. You make a good team. Rht
There's days that I enjoy "no talking". The quiet with the sound of the tractor is therapeutic. Makes me feel like I'm right there. And there's times when you use the drone, enjoy that too. And there's times you talk through the video. Enjoy that too. I also enjoy Hillary!!
Good morning, Pete. We can't tell you how much we enjoy all of your videos . There is just something so peaceful about watching the animals, you moving the hay, and I even enjoy the tractor 🚜 rebuilds. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to share your videos with us all.😊
Thank you for inviting us into your office yes I now live in a retirement community spent my entire life on a farm THANK YOU for allowing me to walk with you ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve made hay for over 50 years this year. I’ve never once thought about selling tickets and honestly I don’t know anyone who would pay to ride along with me. Pete must make hay a lot different than I do.
I missed that prayer that I always said when taking vintage equipment to the field for the first time of the season and that is “Lord please get me thru one more season with this old equipment “.
@@deancharles1470 I think Pete also keeps his auxiliary equipment in working order as well. I only have a tractor, shredder, and auger to maintain. Boy, that was a lot of grass he cut!
That will be some sweet hay in the winters! Why does a 84 year old lady watch a farmer? I grew up watching uncles farming and my father was a part time farmer with a cub farmal tractor that is how I learned to drive at 10 years old! This brings back many memories! Thank you! S
As a teenager I remember a Hereford calf being stillborn or so we thought. That old cow turned around, stuck her nose under the calf and flung it in the air over and over. There was nothing but hooves, and tail flailing about, round about the fifth flip the calf left out a small bleat, and came to life. It was running around, nursing a half hour later. Mom knows best I guess! Spent many summer days mowing hay with a Massey Ferguson 150 with a New Holland 6' sickle bar mower, and an International crimped offset behind, we were too poor to afford a haybine. Good times!
I use to work for Massey Ferguson in sales making sure the farmers get the tractors or heathers they need for they farm. Still have a mini in the glass cabinet.😊 ❤
Wouldn't it be cool if we all had a father, brother, son, husband or significant other like Pete? I know my world would be a better place -- for now, I appreciate living vicariously through his videos. Thanks Pete!
What a beautiful day, Pete! You know, they call them fingers but I’d never seen them fing… not until today that is! You have so many talents that never fail to impress! 😂 I’m just playing. Hope you and Hilarie are enjoying this gorgeous weather we got.
You have no idea, Pete, how many memories you stirred up of me as a young teenager learning to drive an old Oliver tractor. Some of the best of my days spent. Good on ya. ☘️
We thank you Miss Hillary and Mr Pete. Very chill mowing scenes except where the nail polish was added. Happy for your new calfs all doing well. Gosh the day was swell all starting with you guys
Was a little teary eyed until you verified the calf was breathing. Having spent many hours caring for 3 wonderful grandsons with Rosemarie I appreciate life more and more. What could be better than an old red tractor that can actually be used? Overhead views great. Beautiful natural canvas as usual. Must be great to sit outside at end of day and look out over the fields. Hope you, Hil and family have great week! I know I use the word “great” too much.
As always, thank you both for sharing your lives with us. Even when Pete mouth is closed you still learn something. My youngest son really enjoyed this one, and so did I.
Wow, this brought back memories of having to help by FIL pull calves when momma cow couldn't quite get the job done. The kids really should enjoy the delivery process. What a miracle!
Thank you for your videos you and your wife do a great job. Thank you for no background music. I like watching and hearing in true time. Those are the best sounds of the farm.
I love the sound of that tractor. Brings back memories as it's the same 756 German Diesel that I grew up driving as a teenager. Raked hay and hauled in many bales with it in the hot summers. Luke Bryan's lyrics in What Makes You County: "I got my dirt road cred when I was twelve On a no cab tractor hauling 'em bales" makes me picture myself with a big ole grin on my face driving our 756 down the gravel road full throttle between the main acreage and our other hay field about a mile down the road. We traded it in for a 1086 11 years ago as we needed a little bigger HP tractor. First tractor we had was a Farmall 460 that we traded in for the 756 about the same time I was learning to drive a tractor. That's another era of Farmall history that there are some beautiful restorations of the 60 series out there. My dad is feeling his age in his late 70's with some sore knees and is ready to get out of the cattle business this fall after we wean this year's calf crop. It is going to be a bitter sweet ending as my parents are ready to slow down but at the same time this was something they both grew up around and my brother and I enjoyed too, but with our families and full time jobs neither of us have the time to take it over plus my brother also lives 14 hours away now. We showed in 4-H, FFA, and our breed shows up until we both went to college. I still own a couple cows in the herd and provide the labor when we need to work the cattle or have a big project to do on the farm. I am a big part of our herd management decisions and maintaining our website, social media, and marketing our cattle sales so I am going to miss that but at the same time am also a bit relieved that I won't have to make an unexpected/short notice 30 minute trip out to help repair something or bring the cows in to doctor a sore foot or pinkeye. They luckily have some great neighbors that help them too that we are thankful for.
One of my two favorite times of the year. The other, watching the cows go out on to pasture for the first time of the new season. I would cut hay for free, so enjoyable! I love your channel, Pete. Thank you.
What a great way to start a day. Just woke up and we're cutting hay. You're dead on about the tractor engine, and the editing choices are excellent. Thenk you for taking the time to have this out to us this quickly.
Pete enjoy watching your videos as we have our coffee. Love the sound of the tractor and cutting hay. Nice to see that Cocoa had her calf. This reminds me of when I was a kid. thank you. Have a great rest of your week and a wonderful Memorial Day.
“Making hay while the sun shines.” I hadn’t thought about the history of that, but it’s so clear from watching your haying videos. Like all farmers over the centuries, you try to forecast the weather so that the freshly cut hay will remain dry until enough days lying in the field have passed for it to be collected into bales and stored without mold setting in. An anxious time, hoping for that sunshine until the hay is safely stored. That tractor’s engine is a fine, smooth machine all right. It must feel even more satisfying using it since you have extended its working life and know every part of it, maintaining and replacing.
Ive been dealing with alot of stress/anxiety lately. I found your channel and subscribed instantly. Watching this and all your videos brings a overwhelming relaxation. I can feel the stress fade away especially in a video like this where its just the tractor working. Beautiful sound. Thank you for this.
This doesn't get old at all soothing. Just remember when I was 16 and 17 I worked for a farmer/ neighbor doing field work with his 756 and his 856 back in 73 ish.ive always wanted to be a farmer but in that time farmers were having their land taken away! It was a bad time to farm.the farmer also milked 35 to 40 cows..he had no kids and his wife was a school teacher...great people. Always enjoyed your videos
Dang Pete! You're a real artist on that tractor and haybine. And I don't think there is another possible view you could have gotten with your camera. Totally entertaining. The calf birth was an extra bonus. Thanks loads.
That tractor sounds awesome. Love it. I've been calling it a beast when I tell others about it. I like the sound of the tractor but also the trimmer. Combined? I'm in heaven. Farming is hard work. Always 10 things to do in a day. You and Hillary live the life I once had. I miss it. 🙂🦋
I am also a farmer and in my experience it puts you so close to realness.you see life and death good days and bad days it gives you a reason to pray and it makes you very thankful I love your videos Pete keep cranking them out❤
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you. I started watching you a while ago. My husband and I bought 40 acres 3 years ago. He and I started watching you actually without knowing each other were watching. I went to him about raising pasture raised chickens, and he said, "You watch him too!" 😂😂 This year was our first year selling. And our 1st round of 100 chickens went over amazing! We sold out and are going to keep it up. You will never know how much you have touched our lives for the better. You are an inspiration! ❤ I appreciate that you have been such a positive impact on our lives. Our plan is to fully live off our land as well. We have cattle, goats, and chickens and love it. Thanks again so much!
Love watching you cut hay Pete, especially the aerial shots. Seeing you get that last little patch is so satisfying. Sorry about your injury. Your concern about showing it to us was hilarious. 😂
Pete, long time watcher, first time commenter. My wife and I have been looking to follow the trail your blazing. I am currently working in a job I hate but can’t leave. Watching your videos you give me hope that one day I will get there! I grew up in the country with farm animals and big gardens and have often dreamed about getting back to my roots. As I watch your videos it gives me peace of mind knowing that it is possible to achieve that dream. We are slowly getting there and I just want you to know that your goal you often talk about of reaching the younger generation, is becoming a reality! Every video I watch no matter what your doing inspires me to keep pushing the envelope. Thank you!!
Loved this video. So good. So satisfying. I don't know why. They just are. Especially the end. Wonderful country flavored music wafting across the fresh mowed hay. And Hilary giggling at you as you shove your hat on and bashfully look away with a grin on your face. It's so clear at times how much in love you two still are. It's the icing on the cake of your marvelous, wonderful video's. So proud of your new calves showing up, by the way. Sorry you hurt your middle finger. But I'm sure Hilary will help you feel better. :))
I am about to purchase a small 50 acre farm just east of my city. The city just doesn't do it for me. At 38, I feel like I found my calling. Hopefully I have lots of sunrises and sunsets to look into. You gave me the power and confidence to do this Pete, and I will never be able to explain how much that means to me. Thank you Pete.
Something very satisfying about mowing grass for hay. Being on a tractor in the outdoors doing field work for the first time of the season and the smells of the fresh cut grass drying in the sun into hay. Heaven on Earth
What a beautiful post. Making hay with a fantastic piece of equipment, actually two pieces. A new season begins and I am ready. Thank you so much for sharing. Hi to Hillary !😊
There was always a sense of pride making those corners nice and square and not leaving any hay unmowed. I remember getting off the tractor to pull some i had missed by hand before anyone saw it.
I learn to mow with a Farmall 350 and a pulled behind sickle bar mower. My dad would make the first lap around the field. And the he was off to plant corn and I mowed. He never let me plant corn as my rows were never straight enough to suit him. My last lap was always the hardest as it was mowing next to the fence row in the opposite direction. I was always having trouble plugging the bar with already cut hay or clipping a fence post. LOL. Lots of hay memories.
Pete, I really enjoy just listening to the farm equipment run, Don't get me wrong.I also enjoy listening to You're wealth of wisdom when it comes to farm equipment.
I’m glad it’s hay season again. I just love watching the haybine, then the tedder, then baling. A couple of weeks ago we were traveling a scenic by-way in north central Kansas and a few people had already put down a first cutting of hay. I pointed that out to my wife…..she wasn’t amused.😂
I could sit and watch you mow hay all day. it brings back memories of when I did the same thing about 50 years ago. and the funny thing is it was with an old (but not old at the time) Farmall MD. and a baler of similiar vintage fact probably a lot older than yours is now!. I could almost smell the cut grass watching this. every time I mow my lawn now it brings me back to that time. at 81 I do'n't make hay anymore just memories! thanks for sharing and letting me live Vicariously thru you Pete. God Speed. ECF
In Nebraska are hay is pretty much ready to go we’re using a John Deere 4240 and a New Idea side swathe to cut it and a 1942 Farmall H with a New Holland side delivery hay rake. Really enjoy your videos Pete.
Sing a birth of an animal is so cute I don't know why people judge, if people judge they have something with their own life so that they have to work on.
Pete there are probably a few things which brings you the greatest joy to Life, and farming really seems to be one of those things. Happy farming and thanks for sharing 😊
Glad Cocoa had a healthy calf. Love his chocolate color. I guess that would be a fitting color for Cocoa to throw. Always enjoy a good hay cutting video.
Pete, I so appreciate your willingness to give us videos that show so many perspectives. The drone footage. The close and personal footage. The dandelion footage. It's all fab!
Beautiful farm. Makes me want to be in the seat of that tractor. Nothing like the smell of of fresh cut hayfield. Cows are going to appreciate the hay this winter. You ought to get you a hive of bees since you have all that clover and dandelions in the field. That would make some good honey! Thanks for sharing your farm with us. God bless.
I loved the video. Takes me back about 40 years cutting hay with a JD 2510 and a NH 461, same type of setup, just different colours. I loved the sounds and took me back to the smell of the fresh cut hay. Just like you I wore hearing protection, partly for the ear protection, and partly because it made it easier to hear a change in the sound of the tractor or haybine to know when something was wrong!
Whew Pete, I thought you were gonna mow us down! I enjoy watching you on vintage and antique equipment as much as I like watching millennial farmer and Cole the cornstar. I just watched Broyans farm set out cole crops in an antique 2 man planter with large metal wheels. I sure do enjoy watching you and Hillary get in the garden and freshening up the yard and such. There's never a shortage of jobs to do when farmin'.
Man I could watch an hour straight of just mowing. Talking or no talking. Doesn't matter if it's all drone or all on board footage, or a mix of both. There is something therapeutic about the sights and sounds of a tractor in a field. And I'm serious. I could watch an hour straight.
Also me as well :-)that’s some beautiful grass also
Me too
The only thing missing is the smell!
There's no denying it - THAT's a great day of farming. I'm so glad that the new calf is doing just fine. Only the 'murder drone' put a slight damper on the day.
Hilarie’s laugh and The music at the end though. ❤
I truly enjoy your videos! I know it is a lot of trouble setting up the cameras and all the editing that’s required, but watching you cutting hay is very relaxing to me. Thank you for your channel, I never miss one. Thanks Pete.
You're welcome Bill!
Yes Pete I like your videos too. They're so relaxing keep up the good work, and it's always nice to see Hillary working along with you. You make a good team. Rht

You are the most beautiful, ma'am, stay well
My 3 year old daughter and I watch all the time, she just calls your channel "cows". Thumbs up
3 of pete's favorite words(and us viewers too) "come on 🐃cows🐂🐮" !!
So do I and I am a lot older than 3
I watch it with my granddaughter and we both say hello back to Pete when he says ‘hello I’m Pete’ 😂
@@eileenmcdonald1599 👍🤣🤣
Thank you for inviting us into your office yes I now live in a retirement community spent my entire life on a farm THANK YOU for allowing me to walk with you ❤❤❤❤❤
To me, this is the American dream!
If you sold tickets to ride along with you when you’re cutting hay, I would be the first to buy one 🎟️ It must smell soooo good!!! ☀️💕👍🏻
I would be right behind you in line to buy a ticket!!!
So different from when I was young, I first drove the horse drawn hay rake then later I would drive the hat wagon, HOT days in the hay fields !
That would be an awesome day. Just watch out for that murder drone lol
I’ve made hay for over 50 years this year. I’ve never once thought about selling tickets and honestly I don’t know anyone who would pay to ride along with me. Pete must make hay a lot different than I do.
@@TreverDuncan 🤣🤣 I know, so silly 😜
I missed that prayer that I always said when taking vintage equipment to the field for the first time of the season and that is “Lord please get me thru one more season with this old equipment “.
Pete knows his tractors inside and out. There is no doubt his old tractor will perform perfectly. Now, MY old tractor is a different story!
I was always confident the tractor would make it. The haybine was a different story. She never let me down but I always said the prayer
@@deancharles1470 I think Pete also keeps his auxiliary equipment in working order as well. I only have a tractor, shredder, and auger to maintain. Boy, that was a lot of grass he cut!
I have to say , your getting good at making video's.
That will be some sweet hay in the winters! Why does a 84 year old lady watch a farmer? I grew up watching uncles farming and my father was a part time farmer with a cub farmal tractor that is how I learned to drive at 10 years old! This brings back many memories! Thank you!

As a teenager I remember a Hereford calf being stillborn or so we thought. That old cow turned around, stuck her nose under the calf and flung it in the air over and over. There was nothing but hooves, and tail flailing about, round about the fifth flip the calf left out a small bleat, and came to life. It was running around, nursing a half hour later. Mom knows best I guess! Spent many summer days mowing hay with a Massey Ferguson 150 with a New Holland 6' sickle bar mower, and an International crimped offset behind, we were too poor to afford a haybine. Good times!
I use to work for Massey Ferguson in sales making sure the farmers get the tractors or heathers they need for they farm. Still have a mini in the glass cabinet.😊 ❤
What a great story. Thank you for it!
Oh these are beautiful shots from the drone Pete,just magical.❤
Wouldn't it be cool if we all had a father, brother, son, husband or significant other like Pete? I know my world would be a better place -- for now, I appreciate living vicariously through his videos. Thanks Pete!
The aerial shots of the farm are beautiful. It's so true that we should make hay while the sun shines.
What a beautiful day, Pete! You know, they call them fingers but I’d never seen them fing… not until today that is! You have so many talents that never fail to impress! 😂 I’m just playing. Hope you and Hilarie are enjoying this gorgeous weather we got.
I am so glad the calf it's ok, beautiful color! Chocolate! You two have a great smile! Keep on smiling! Blessings!
You have no idea, Pete, how many memories you stirred up of me as a young teenager learning to drive an old Oliver tractor.
Some of the best of my days spent.
Good on ya. ☘️
Great to see you and Hillary in your Happy Place smiling and laughing. Thanks for the sounds of Pete in his Happy Place. 👍👍👍
One minute into the video and you already get a big ol' thumbs up from me. I loved seeing Coco successfully have her calf!
We thank you Miss Hillary and Mr Pete. Very chill mowing scenes except where the nail polish was added. Happy for your new calfs all doing well. Gosh the day was swell all starting with you guys
Was a little teary eyed until you verified the calf was breathing. Having spent many hours caring for 3 wonderful grandsons with Rosemarie I appreciate life more and more. What could be better than an old red tractor that can actually be used? Overhead views great. Beautiful natural canvas as usual. Must be great to sit outside at end of day and look out over the fields. Hope you, Hil and family have great week! I know I use the word “great” too much.
No words are necessary Pete when you have mad mowing skills to show off. Thanks for sharing the new addition birth also.
As always, thank you both for sharing your lives with us. Even when Pete mouth is closed you still learn something. My youngest son really enjoyed this one, and so did I.

Good way to mark the end of seasonal depression on the farm. Love this time of the year.

The hay videos are my favourite - and now with bonus dandelion explosions they are even better.
Nothing like watching Pete cut hay while listening to Dan Tyminski sing " Making Hay".
Always cool to see a newborn animal. Thanks for showing that Pete.
Amazing how the haybine obliterates the wheel tracks in the field! Very good video, Pete!
Perfect video to watch before bed!! Nothing like nice mowing . . .
Thank you for the video. I could watch for hours. It seems simple to you,but we love it. Thank you.
Thank you Pete! …a man and his tractor…💚
Yay new calf and first hay cutting.
I'm a old equipment person watching these machines work never gets old Pete
Something very satisfying about mowing grass for hay. Being on a tractor in the outdoors doing field work for the first time of the season and the smells of the fresh cut grass drying in the sun into hay. Heaven on Earth
What a beautiful post. Making hay with a fantastic piece of equipment, actually two pieces. A new season begins and I am ready. Thank you so much for sharing. Hi to Hillary !😊
I enjoyed the video, love the life , I no it hard but it has its enjoyments. The new calf is beautiful!!!!!❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There was always a sense of pride making those corners nice and square and not leaving any hay unmowed. I remember getting off the tractor to pull some i had missed by hand before anyone saw it.
I learn to mow with a Farmall 350 and a pulled behind sickle bar mower. My dad would make the first lap around the field. And the he was off to plant corn and I mowed. He never let me plant corn as my rows were never straight enough to suit him. My last lap was always the hardest as it was mowing next to the fence row in the opposite direction. I was always having trouble plugging the bar with already cut hay or clipping a fence post. LOL. Lots of hay memories.
I wish we could smell the fresh cut hay. It’s one of the things I miss from my youth on the farm.
Love watching the equipment working in the field. Makes the memories flow. Thanks Pete..👍👍
Pete, I really enjoy just listening to the farm equipment run, Don't get me wrong.I also enjoy listening to You're wealth of wisdom when it comes to farm equipment.
Oh, Pete! I really LOVE when you take us for a ride on the tractor. Thank you. Thank you so much. Congratulations on the new calf. He's a beauty!
I’m glad it’s hay season again. I just love watching the haybine, then the tedder, then baling.
A couple of weeks ago we were traveling a scenic by-way in north central Kansas and a few people had already put down a first cutting of hay. I pointed that out to my wife…..she wasn’t amused.😂
I could sit and watch you mow hay all day. it brings back memories of when I did the same thing about 50 years ago. and the funny thing is it was with an old (but not old at the time) Farmall MD. and a baler of similiar vintage fact probably a lot older than yours is now!. I could almost smell the cut grass watching this. every time I mow my lawn now it brings me back to that time. at 81 I do'n't make hay anymore just memories! thanks for sharing and letting me live Vicariously thru you Pete. God Speed. ECF
In Nebraska are hay is pretty much ready to go we’re using a John Deere 4240 and a New Idea side swathe to cut it and a 1942 Farmall H with a New Holland side delivery hay rake. Really enjoy your videos Pete.
I can smell the newly cut grass here in Australia. Mmmmmm wonderful.
I would love to see that haybine painted back to that bright red and white! It would be totally retro.
Thanks, Pete. A calf being born and hay being mowed. Doesn't get any farmier than that. Love the drone shots.
Pete great job in mowing and to see and hear the great IHC equipment in action and the beauty of the land and the beautiful spring day.
a lovely new calf, congrats. thank you Pete and Hilarie
Always enjoyed alfalfa falling over the sickle bar. Thank you Pete.
Sing a birth of an animal is so cute I don't know why people judge, if people judge they have something with their own life so that they have to work on.
Pete there are probably a few things which brings you the greatest joy to Life, and farming really seems to be one of those things. Happy farming and thanks for sharing 😊
Glad Cocoa had a healthy calf. Love his chocolate color. I guess that would be a fitting color for Cocoa to throw.
Always enjoy a good hay cutting video.
Pete I look so forward to watching your videos,such a relief
Pete thank you for sharing The sound of that diesel is awesome. Music to your ears . 👍👍👍👍
I can almost feel the satisfaction in mowing that hay. Wish I could also smell it ❤
That shifter is so clean now with the new linkages. I love seeing this so much!
Pete, I so appreciate your willingness to give us videos that show so many perspectives. The drone footage. The close and personal footage. The dandelion footage. It's all fab!
Your videos just keep getting better and better. There are many stages of life and you both seem to be handling it great.
Beautiful farm. Makes me want to be in the seat of that tractor. Nothing like the smell of of fresh cut hayfield. Cows are going to appreciate the hay this winter. You ought to get you a hive of bees since you have all that clover and dandelions in the field. That would make some good honey! Thanks for sharing your farm with us. God bless.
Hay videos have to be one of my favorites that you post, talking or not I love them
I love watching you haying with or without commentary. Thank you
Looks like the road got some new asphalt.
love the engine sound when you shift into "road gear" , reminds me of my youth , thanks
I loved the video. Takes me back about 40 years cutting hay with a JD 2510 and a NH 461, same type of setup, just different colours. I loved the sounds and took me back to the smell of the fresh cut hay. Just like you I wore hearing protection, partly for the ear protection, and partly because it made it easier to hear a change in the sound of the tractor or haybine to know when something was wrong!
I also love your haying videos. Fresh calf footage is just a delightful bonus.
Whew Pete, I thought you were gonna mow us down!
I enjoy watching you on vintage and antique equipment as much as I like watching millennial farmer and Cole the cornstar. I just watched Broyans farm set out cole crops in an antique 2 man planter with large metal wheels.
I sure do enjoy watching you and Hillary get in the garden and freshening up the yard and such. There's never a shortage of jobs to do when farmin'.
What a great day on the farm, and a gem of a video! Thanks Pete and Hillary
The dandelion fluff was so beautiful...😊
Great video of life happening,calfs getting born can make you nervous at times!
Loved the video, Pete. Love seeing a bit more of Hillary also. Glad the cows/calves are all doing well. Have a great day!
