People work in offices, live in apartments, go to the gym for exercise and frown upon the simple people that work with their hands and sweat. Much respect for the farmers of the world.
I make hay by hand every year in Tasmania. One of life's great pleasures!
Ruby Gray I wish i could be there to help and to learn from you. My dream and plans are to live off the land while treating it with respect.

It is a wonderful dream! I hope your plans succeed.
So relaxing to watch. I love the sound of the rustling hay.
not relaxing to do
Hay stacks are so neat! I'm 78, but when I was 15, I had and old family friend that had hay stack similar to these in his front pasture lot.
Romania, the country where you can make archive videos in 1080p
Exercise, no fossil fuels, no expensive equipment that must be maintained with more expenses, simple tools that can be maintained and passed on for generations possibly, no noise, no dependence on continuing oil refineries / war in the Middle East.
good job...awesome traditional work
Bravo Luci si Bianca pt ceea ce faceti !!!!
Multumim, Doamne ajuta!
Amazing
I remember visiting my grandparents farm in Tennessee in the late 1960's and seeing the hayfield with poles, just like this. The hayloft in the barn was filled with loose hay (not bales).
Pelican1984 do you know if they had some special way of getting it into the loft?
In the oldest method, they would have pulled the haywagon up to the barn, opened a door in the hayloft and thrown the hay into it with their pitchforks. Later, hayforks on a rail would have dropped down grabbed some hay and been pulled by a rope and horse up into the loft. This was how it was done until hay bailers became common in the mid-20th century.
Here is a demo on YT of a barn hay fork: ruclips.net/video/UE8rHwD9eQ0/видео.html
Pelican1984 very cool, thanks for the info.
Did the hay not mold because it was loosely packed? I would like to try this for our minis and donkey, but am afraid of mold.
Great video
Watching in 2020. So Zen like.
Frumoasă muncă relaxantă. Cât timp îl lași acolo în climat cald? Scuze pentru limba dacă este greșită, dă vina pe google
They'll be ready for a nice cold beer after that!
I'm wondering if you can do a leap of faith in these
Nice, im gonna do the same !
Someones knows what is the usual practice to undo the pile little by little or all in one time.. cause the top part gonna get like à 'hard hat'; do you keep it as a hat or will the newly exposed to the elements hay gonna be the new hat?
Thanks a lot for sharing, its very important to transmit all these knowledges, as simple as they seems to be !
you take it from the bottom sides. The top will stay the top and get hard like a hat.
O prima observație, in Maramureș la baza clăii se face un suport-baza de crengi după care se axează fanul care se calca in picioare circular tot timpul pe măsură ce se ridica claia,aceasta dandu-i o consistenta si o mai mare rezistenta,putandu-se face clăi de 4-5m înălțime.Munca e mai laborioasa dar claia rezista mai mult.
@Mr. ASSHOLE, și în Moldova(românească) se pun crăci de copaci la baza.
How do these handle high winds? We get 80mph.
Pretty well actually :0 the hay is layered like a mesh on top of the other hay, so it stays put when mild wind blows on it. The haystack also has a “skeleton” made out of branches, that make it more resistant. I can’t say how really powerful winds affect it because in my region we don’t have that many.
What are haystacks called in ireland
do you let the grass dry at all after cutting? how soon do you stack it?
Yes, the grass is well dried before stacking it.
I'll stick with my round bailer.
what is that grass planted on hills for hay
lucerna
Se pune si verde?

It must be fun to put dry grass on fire.
Trust it is. I try to burn our fields and Forest every year in Missouri.
