@@FailureatRetirement I always farmed part time, and now that I’m retired I just farm. Gave up two full time jobs for one!! Really enjoyed your channel- I’m mostly a Ford man now, but still have my JD 420, 520 & 2010.
@@reppfarms4493 I think you will enjoy the tractor videos if you haven’t seen them already. I grew up mostly on JD and that’s all I have now. Not for any particular reason other than it’s what I know. I have had a couple Fords, I flipped them.
You guys are brilliant. Idiot bricks is right there with stupid cubes. I think I got that name from my friends in Kansas. When I mention it around here most people have no idea what I’m talking about. 😂😂😂
Now I won’t roll the machine out of the shed for less than.75. I am the highest one around but I get just about as much work as I want. I spend most of my time on big bales anyway so this way I don’t wear myself out changing my machine back and forth. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas
Here in Canada and just handled the last of this years small squares. The first time I saw 3-strings were used as set-pieces on TV programs, like "Hee-Haw" . Made me think "Where do those strange bales fit in the farm operation?" . Too heavy to lift by hand like 2-string small squares. Too small and time-consuming to handle one-by-one with tractor loaders like large rounds. Must be a "California thing" where the farmers can hire Mexican illegals to gather, lift, and feed out these bales.
It’s definitely a west coast thing since the 70’s I think. I remember as a kid my dad refusing to switch and kind of getting left behind. He did everything by hand and didn’t like the extra weight. At the time bigger bales weren’t a thing here and the dairies were driving the market to heavy, dense bales. At the same time bale wagons were being developed to handle them in the field so I don’t recall illegal labor being a thing in the hay business.
Love your channel name!! Subscribed
Seems like you understand my situation. Thank you!

In the late 60's we stacked our hay with a New Holland self propelled stacker. No computers on those models 😋
Man that had to be a good time. Tomorrow’s video shows how the hay moves on the table.
Called idiot bricks over here in the UK.😂
All big squares or rounds here nowadays,haven’t had small bales for 30 years or more.

I used to get a nickle a bale to pick up hay.
