Pete I a 84 yr old enjoy watching you as I relive my days in North Iowa watching my uncles work Grandmothers farm. My job was to ride to town(Albert Lea, MN ) to gets parts to repair the machinery. Of course I would get ice cream for all my work! The years I talking about are 1944 -1950. No internet or Amazon to get parts or instructions of course! They did have the machinery no horses! At that time. Grandparents. Last name was Grabriel farmed that same farm from 1890s till 1990! This farm was bought from Union men that receive small acres for fighting in the Civil War, my Great Grandfather bought enough for his sons to each have a 100 acre farm! My Grandmother (from Norway for whom I was named) raised 11 children on that farm ! Sorry for the lengthy story! Martha Marie
Thank you Pete and Hillary for all the time and effort you put into the vids and the farm and allowing me to tag along. Your vids are uplifting, each and every one.
There is something so relaxing about these hay cutting, raking and bailing videos from Pete. The ambient noise, the sound of the machinery, Pete's commentary and the way Pete shoots the footage. Just perfect.
Loved the explanation of the raking plan Pete! So satisfying when each field is so expertly and elegantly harvested. Nothing more enjoyable than seeing a job well done.
60 years ago as a young newlywed living in Australia, I would go and watch the local farmers band together to make huge haystacks. Their wives would turn up for morning smoko. tea, cakes, scones. Lunch was, sandwiches, meat pies, sausage rolls, apple pies, etc
Ah,scones. Raisin scones,with homemade blackberry jam. Great Aunt Laura was born East of Liverpool. Homemade scones still warm from the oven,part of my childhood in Canada. Whether pronounced s-con,s-cone,or schoon,the taste is the same. And with the likes of RUclips,anyone so inclined can teach themselves this traditional treat.
That was fantastic having the camera inside showing the bail getting bigger and bigger. Never seen that before on anybody else's videos. I pray you have a blessed day
13:51 😂🤣🤣 At some future date some kid is going to be very fortunate to have you as Gampa! 😁 Love your channel Pete, thank you. PS I have never seen a round bale being started from inside of the round baler, so thanks for that too. 👍
Thank you for a wonderful video on the process of round baling hay Pete! I really enjoyed seeing your Super C in action again. Which was also our “go to” tractor for raking hay on our dairy farm. We installed an umbrella on it for those really long hot days. And my mom would bring me a cold jar of water just like Hillarie brought to you. The drone footage was fantastic as always. You produce and post the best videos on U Tube my friend! And I appreciate every one of them. Have a blessed day!
Thanks for a beautiful video. I believe the Super C is one of the classiest tractors in your tool box. The round bales are a work of art. I'm old now, but I do remember the square bales tied with wire or string and two hay hooks to get them up on the back of the flat bed truck. In the 60's us high school kids got 1 cent a bale, in the barn. Several years later, it went to 2 cents. We were swimming in the money! Thank you, Pete.
Story of my life too! A river ran next to all the fields we hayed for my grandpa so on the last load, we would stop next to the river, jump in to cool off and wash the hay dust off. Grandpa had a 1939 IH two ton flat bed that would hold 84 bales. It was about 2 miles to the barn so on a good day we did 4 loads in the morning, 4 in the afternoon. Grandpa raised watermelons. He would put one in a feed sack and lower it into the well in the morning. About mid afternoon, he would meet us at the barn with a nice cool melon! Those were the days!
Oh, we had a mechanical hay loader that attached to the side of the truck. One drove, on lined the bales up for the loader and one stacked. I wish I knew what happened to the '39 IHC, grandpa's '47 IHC pickup and that old hay loader.
Hello Pete & Hillary. Great watching Pete bale his hay. Sounds like some good planning for next winter. Hope your season at that farmers market will continue to be successful!!! Trying to get out to the market. Wish me luck!🥰🐷🦃🐮🐔
Back in 1955 I was 8 years old. I drove a DC Case tractor with a hand clutch too short to reach foot pedals. We had a John Deere baler with a 30 hp Wisconsin motor. Dad would direct me from the hay wagon. When I became 12 years old I was promoted to the hay-mow big enough to lift bales. Mom took over the tractor driving. Loved every minute of the farm life.
I really enjoyed you describing your mow pattern. I grew up watching people baking hay, but the specifics were never explained. You should do a how to ... With all the levers and pedals of how to drive a tractor and how to hook up and operate different implements. There are a ton of city folk that end up buying a few acres and a tractor that have no idea how to even turn one on.
Pete, I really like the way you farm. You and wife have a peaceful way of life, more people need to learn your peace. We live in the Mountains of western Montan and have a 30 acre peace of property, mostly timber. Different way of peace still it is peaceful as well. Enjoy the way you live, few really do. Lynn P Ogle
The photography and imaging are just awsome. The shots inside the baler and drone imaging make me feel like I'm with you. What an effort! I never get bored.
I became a vegetarian after learning the horror of animal abuse in factory farming many years ago. I wish I live near Pete's farm so I can go back eating meat again. All animals in the farm are so wonderfully raised and cared for. Thanks, Pete.
What a Beee-utiful hay harvest. And now I understand how you get such nice tight bales than unfurl in nice thick layers so they stand upright when you feed. Great planning makes working the bales in the winter so much easier. Thanks for all your hard work. Hillary reminds me of myself with her taking you some cool water while you work hard. I love doing that for my hubby and I know Hillary loves doing it too. The camera shots this time were awesome! I think I got a little sunburn just watching you. Or maybe that's just memories. I know you use LOTS of sunscreen.
So happy for you and Hillarie. You're on your way to 500k subscribers . We'll deserved too. Loved the hay raking/baling. I'm a 68 y/o woman, never farmed, suburbanite and love each and every video you share. Enjoy the nice weather and we will all be here giving you thumbs up.😊
Your video's are so wonderful and satisfying, it compels me to leave a comment even when I'm feeling too lazy to type. lol That's how much I love your video's. It was wonderful crawling inside a hay baler and watching up close how it works. Love the smooth jazz at the end. So excellent. So good. Thank you.
When Pete stops bailing, I know there is a dad joke in the offing. Pete, thanks so much for 2:33 bringing back a memory of mine. My grandmother used to talk about how during haying season, all the women on the farm would mix up mason jars of sugar water to take to all of the farm hands. Later in the day they would take lunches out where all the hands were sitting in the shade along with the horses.
Hillary always seems like the sweetest person. You’re lucky to have her. “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22. You are blessed Pete.
Hello pete, i am a 27 y.o. Swedish farmer, i try to do like you, not necasarrily with old machines, but small machines. Theese days when farms have grown so huge, the only Way to make it is buy going the oposite way, that way We can have the Fields that are to small for the big timers, just got Done baling square for the first time, this is the first year that We’ve Been able to do everything ourselves and let me tell you, Feels good! Keep up the great content 😁
Thanks for the memories. I can remember back in my very young days I was about 12 on a small 4 cylinder Case tractor with a side rake like yours. My Grandfather turned me loose and that was a great life learning at that age but where I was and the time zone only small squares bails Thanks Pete and Hillary for the memoirs.
Haymaking is so satisfying, like a squirell storing his nuts for the winter, harvesting nature sustainably and just reward for all the hard work to get to harvest time. Great vid Pete.
Brings back memories. We had a JD sickle bar mower to cut with mounted on a Farmall 300, then raked with a NH 3 point rake on a Ford 8N and baled with a NH Super 66 baler pulled with a Fordson Major Diesel. Baling was the worst because you almost always had the wind behind you in 1 direction and it was just the right speed to bring all the dirt and dust blowing up on you. Oh, and it was usually 90° plus. Thanks for bringing us along.
Today was a moment I wish I can quit nursing and go farming … 24 years ago there was a different type of patients to care for… these days this generation blame the world for their problems and expect staff to jump when they are in need. Your videos gives me a coping strategy of relaxation..
Near the end there was a shot of a bale being dumped with the clouds behind. Could have been a painting. Your videographer has a natural talent! (Hillary?). Just beautiful to watch!
Stop everything. Here it comes..... the Dad joke. Hilarious! Just love this one. Well done on the process of cutting, raking, baling hay. I am fascinated.
That old GEHL is a dinosaur compared to balers today but that old girl still gets the job done like it’s almost new! Thanks Pete great video as always!
A beautiful thing when it goes as planned ! The equipment performed as planned , Hillary knew it was time for water and knew to get your lunch ready....TEAM WORK !!!!! Documented on film.....you only need to write a book of motivation. Great job Pete ! Thank you for sharing.❤
I love watching the hay rake lift the hay and watch it tumble over. And watching the video of the inside of the bailer. Seeing how it works and how the hay bail is formed. That's so cool to me. Thanks Pete for everything you do on your channel.
So much more fun and less stressful watching you bale hay than doing it in person myself LOL and if something breaks I don't have to fix it. Great video as always Pete!
Hillary to the Rescue!!! That made me drink my water too :) Pete thank you love these hay videos and the tutorial that goes through it. I may never be a farmer but I do appreciate your work on these hay cutting, raking and baling. I miss the farmers market but I do understand.
Good morning Pete and Hillary. I love just about every video, from watching you cut the hay to bailing it up, showing us your moody cows, to the chickens. I do admit I miss Billy, he was a handsome friendly guy. We do understand that you must do for your farm, what you must do. We are just so grateful that in all the busy things you have going on, that you take the time to make your wonderful videos. Also must say I am also looking for to fall for tractor 🚜 rebuilds. Thanks again. 😊

That ain't a lengthy story, THAT'S HISTORY! Thank you ole bud.
I love these stories! Thank you.
It is so wonderful to hear a little history. Thank you sir for sharing your story. 😊
I loved reading your story, Martha! Thank you 😊
Good day Martha, those were the good old days, gone but not forgotten!
Thank you Pete and Hillary for all the time and effort you put into the vids and the farm and allowing me to tag along. Your vids are uplifting, each and every one.
You said it for many of us... me for sure!
There is something so relaxing about these hay cutting, raking and bailing videos from Pete. The ambient noise, the sound of the machinery, Pete's commentary and the way Pete shoots the footage. Just perfect.
A knowledgeable farmer with old well-kept equipment can do a fine job. No internet and no GPS. Just the basics. Pete is a master at keeping it simple.
Your haying videos are so oddly relaxing
I heard they outlawed the round biles because the cow union said the cows are not getting a square meal
I know that machines don’t have emotions, but that beautifully restored tractor sounds happy. Can you hear it? That is a happy tractor.
Loved the explanation of the raking plan Pete! So satisfying when each field is so expertly and elegantly harvested. Nothing more enjoyable than seeing a job well done.

Day that have become cherished memories. I think we're headed back to that time again, I welcome it.
You’re making me hungry. Starting to drool.

Good eating, for sure!
Hello from Australia. Extra engagement for the algorithm in appreciation of you wearing a proper hat in the sun.
That was fantastic having the camera inside showing the bail getting bigger and bigger. Never seen that before on anybody else's videos. I pray you have a blessed day
12:50 - that was an interesting shot, watching the bale grow bigger and bigger!
Pretty satisfying watching that old equipment doing what they were by meant to do. A few classic calendar quality shots in the video.
13:51 😂🤣🤣 At some future date some kid is going to be very fortunate to have you as Gampa! 😁 Love your channel Pete, thank you. PS I have never seen a round bale being started from inside of the round baler, so thanks for that too. 👍
Wife bringing husband water in the field! Now that is special and shows family commitment and love.
You out did yourself with all the different angles from the camera and from the drone! Well done!
So much nicer to watch a video where it's not made to be dramatic and stressful and made to be a big deal. It's just real and not dramatic.
I really like the high altitude shots you do.
Shows off how neatly laid out the legacy farms were; back when people were smarter.
Yes indeed!
Pete, you should take photos of all your tractors and make a calendar! I would buy one!
Thank you for a wonderful video on the process of round baling hay Pete! I really enjoyed seeing your Super C in action again. Which was also our “go to” tractor for raking hay on our dairy farm.

Pete you should get an award for your camera work! I love the drone footage!!
You’ve never created a video that I didn’t LOVE - thanks!
Very interesting video. I love the hay operation. Stay safe my friends. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🇺🇸
Pete, that shot at 15:00 of the bale dropping was downright cinematic. Great lighting, great camera angles, great story telling. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a beautiful video. I believe the Super C is one of the classiest tractors in your tool box. The round bales are a work of art.

Still squealing on start up... nice bales... glad you got you got them done in your weather window.. good job Pete..
Hello Pete & Hillary.
Great watching Pete bale his hay. Sounds like some good planning for next winter. Hope your season at that farmers market will continue to be successful!!! Trying to get out to the market. Wish me luck!🥰🐷🦃🐮🐔
Glad you’re getting good hay weather
I just love seeing the old equipment out working
I enjoy watching and hearing the tractors and equipment working.
I love watching these kind of videos because I know Pete is in his happy place! ❤❤
Love how neat the bales are coming out of the baler.👍👍
Back in 1955 I was 8 years old. I drove a DC Case tractor with a hand clutch too short to reach foot pedals. We had a John Deere baler with a 30 hp Wisconsin motor.

The sound of the 756 is so soothing! I could fall asleep just listening to that alone.
Love your videos and Hilary working with you. Sweet couple.

I would rather watch farmers like you Pete then anything on the boob tube. Nice job liked your layout of the of the field
These are my favorite starting with this series last year. I'm probably the only NY cake decorator who knows how hay is made and bailed.
Petes a tuff man. !!! N knows how too do anything. Well...
The photography and imaging are just awsome. The shots inside the baler and drone imaging make me feel like
I'm with you. What an effort! I never get bored.
I became a vegetarian after learning the horror of animal abuse in factory farming many years ago. I wish I live near Pete's farm so I can go back eating meat again. All animals in the farm are so wonderfully raised and cared for. Thanks, Pete.
Like the old saying, you gotta make hay while the sun shines.
You’re an artist, Pete!
👍👍
THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWERFUL CREATING 🙏🙏

Beautiful bales! 9:52 great shot! Thank You for sharing this work day with us!
a long hard day, have a cup of tea now. Love the part inside the baler interesting to see the workings

And Pete is blessed to have Hillary.
You and Hillary are such a great team. You guys are a great example of what it takes to have a successful farm/business and a great marriage.
These haymaking videos are food for my soul. Keep up the stellar work Pete!
Coffee, and Just a Few Acres Farm👍
That’s great looking hay, and the weather cooperated!
Pete have to say that old Baylor sure does make a nice looking bale
Thank you Pete. I have finally seen how the bale is made from the inside view of a round baler. I never understood how that worked until today.
aw remind me days go by of when I was a younger man and how I loved to hay season and the long hot hours of cutting and bailing
Hello pete, i am a 27 y.o. Swedish farmer, i try to do like you, not necasarrily with old machines, but small machines.

Old farming and modern farming.
Beautyfull to see this .
Just a few acres is the place to be farming living for me 😊
❤love the sweet sound of that inline 6 doing her thing😊
Keep on keeping on!
Thanks for the memories. I can remember back in my very young days I was about 12 on a small 4 cylinder Case tractor with a side rake like yours.
My Grandfather turned me loose and that was a great life learning at that age but where I was and the time zone only small squares bails Thanks Pete and Hillary for the memoirs.
The way you make hay, makes an awfully nice bale of hay!!! Keep up the good work!
Super nice of Hilary to being out the water i think. Really enjoyed the beautiful drone footage Pete! Have a great day!
Haymaking is so satisfying, like a squirell storing his nuts for the winter, harvesting nature sustainably and just reward for all the hard work to get to harvest time. Great vid Pete.

Today was a moment I wish I can quit nursing and go farming … 24 years ago there was a different type of patients to care for… these days this generation blame the world for their problems and expect staff to jump when they are in need. Your videos gives me a coping strategy of relaxation..
Good day Pete & Hillary and thank you for this great video ! As I watched from my lift chair, I could smell the sweet fresh bailed hay.
The most beautiful rows of hay I have ever seen Mr. Pete. And the Farmall was just humming like the well-maintained tractor that it is.
It's good to see a man making hay while the suns shines! I can smell the hay from here.
Near the end there was a shot of a bale being dumped with the clouds behind. Could have been a painting. Your videographer has a natural talent! (Hillary?). Just beautiful to watch!
Pretty work Mr. Pete. God bless Miss Hilarie for bringing you some water. A true farmer's wife for sure.
wish they still made tractors like this, so visceral and simple...
God Bless you Pete and your family- you create so much joy !!!
Raking hay is like plowing snow, there's 4 ways to do it. 1. The right way. 2. The wrong way. 3. Your way. And 4. My way. Get er done Pete!
Loved seeing the process and the eyes inside the baler itself....
Stop everything. Here it comes..... the Dad joke. Hilarious! Just love this one. Well done on the process of cutting, raking, baling hay. I am fascinated.
There's nothing like seeing results from your efforts!
Bales are a thing of beauty 😊
That old GEHL is a dinosaur compared to balers today but that old girl still gets the job done like it’s almost new! Thanks Pete great video as always!
Great inside the bailer video shot.
I'm always fascinated by these balers.
The Lord has certainly been kind to you and your neighbour with His Weather this year.
Thanks be!
Pete I can watch this all day, love it! Thank you.
A beautiful thing when it goes as planned ! The equipment performed as planned , Hillary knew it was time for water and knew to get your lunch ready....TEAM WORK !!!!! Documented on film.....you only need to write a book of motivation. Great job Pete ! Thank you for sharing.❤
I love watching the hay rake lift the hay and watch it tumble over. And watching the video of the inside of the bailer. Seeing how it works and how the hay bail is formed. That's so cool to me. Thanks Pete for everything you do on your channel.
Wish I was on that tractor,nothing better to be out on the tractor selling the hay,enjoying the sunshine
Enjoy watching you use this equipment from days gone past. Nice shirts too, Go Dawgs!
Your video production and drone operation are first class !
So much more fun and less stressful watching you bale hay than doing it in person myself LOL and if something breaks I don't have to fix it. Great video as always Pete!
You are loved by many. Thanks for sharing your love of farming with all of us.
How cute that both Pete and Hilary were wearing their Georgia Bulldogs shirts today. haha.
Thank you, that was the best and most informative video on how a bailer actually works.
Hillary to the Rescue!!! That made me drink my water too :) Pete thank you love these hay videos and the tutorial that goes through it. I may never be a farmer but I do appreciate your work on these hay cutting, raking and baling. I miss the farmers market but I do understand.
Great view from the drone at 6:51
Good morning Pete and Hillary. I love just about every video, from watching you cut the hay to bailing it up, showing us your moody cows, to the chickens. I do admit I miss Billy, he was a handsome friendly guy. We do understand that you must do for your farm, what you must do. We are just so grateful that in all the busy things you have going on, that you take the time to make your wonderful videos. Also must say I am also looking for to fall for tractor 🚜 rebuilds. Thanks again. 😊
You had me lost on the 2nd pass. I am glad you know what you are doing!😊 Being 75, I get lost on things a lot.
