Great video guys. Gee and haw as mentioned are used for horses and many other driving animals. The reason why is because usually they are used when your hands are busy. For instance plowing with a team you are hanging on to the plow with reins around your neck so voice commands are needed and easier. Also used for many other driving applications. Horses (not sure about other animals) have blinders on when driven so they work on two senses sound and touch. Work a sound and a rein for touch and you get a quick response from a good team.
My Dad used to talk about gee and haw. On the farm he grew up on in Arkansas he used two Belgian horses in the field.
I can't wait to put the old garden plow on my cub cadet 107 this fall. My cub cadet is my work horse.
T.T.W.T. Tim as you well know you can water the sweetcorn from the hose but on good rain can do moore than all watering you can do. Have used a wheel hoe in mother garden.Mother garden was big enough it took close to three hours to plow with a tractor and 2 bottom plow. glad to get roto-tiller .Going back to gee and haw my Dad thaught me gee and haw a long time ago Dad was born in 1915 in Eastern Ky. farmed with mules and by hand work on hill sides. we had a neibhbor that had tractors he worked the corn or soybeans ground with and planted with horses this was in the 60s and early 70s. Tim how is your Mother and Dad doing thanks for the video.
Both Mother and Dad seem to be doing pretty well.
Thanks for asking. ...and thanks for watching!
Nice video and beautiful old plow. With all that work you deserve a burger and milkshake. Love you clean content and bible verses. Thanks for all you and your family provide to us.
Super tutorial on horse drawn farming. The design of the wooden handles also allowed the implement to be laid over and dragged while turning the row. At the right moment, the farmer grabbed one handle, and continued seamlessly the next row. The horse knew exactly where to walk.
i have one of those that my GREAT GREAT grandpa owned it was actually meant to be pulled behind a Mule when i had my JD garden tractor i used to hook it to the sleeve hitch and have my brother on the tractor while i ran the plow....i bet great grandpa was watching us and smiling
Perhaps you remember the video of us visiting Philip? He gave me a pull-type plow. He said from WWI or before. Was a family heirloom. I feel honored to have it.
Philip is not doing very well. Needs our prayers.
ive been praying ever since
The Hoss has 2 small wheels with the handles connected down low. That makes it dig in and curl like a loader. More torque to dig with.
The gee and haw I've heard about. My dad plowed with two Belgian draft horses on the family farm.
Great video!!!! My dad never talk about how he turned the horses he only talked about that the horses knew when it was quitting time and just head to the house LOL
Thanks Pete. I have never experienced horses working in the field (other than to see them from a distance in Amish country). I suspect they would become great 'friends' over the years.
I've Heard Similar Stories!
Great stuff Folks !! Thank you !! A lot of memories talking about plowing with horses!!! Gee is definitely right and haw is left !! Dad is 89 years young with dementia but he still can talk about plowing with a team of mules at the age of 12 ! If the hillside plow fell over he could not get it back up without help. ! I live with him now and have learned so much about his youth !! I appreciate you all so much !!!! Be safe and God bless you and your family !!!!! Eddy
Tim Christi very interesting watched it while eating breakfast brings back a lot of memories never saw the horses at work but one of my friends grandfather still worked the farm with then in 50s
God Bless
PaK
I watched all ur videos keep up with all the good video. I'm from Missouri
All 300?
Pretty much I have I'm watching them tonight I really like the one when u tested the ventrac
I remember those things from when I was a kid Tim I'm 67 now, ours not only had a plow but also had a five or six toothed spring cultivator that you could put on in place of the plow, we always used the plow to lay out our rows. My sweet corn is over my head and lookin good, God bless you guys! :)
Tim I'm the first generation that didn't plow mules. I too had my "fields" that I'd plow with what we called a push plow. What great memories.
I'm glad to hear that I was able to bring back some good memories for you. I'm thankful to have such memories, so I like to share some of them.
THX TIM & CHRISTY FOR THE
SCHOOLING...
I KNEW OF THE WHEEL PLOW..
BUT NEVER KNEW THAT IT PITCHED
THE SOIL TO THE ( Left or Right ).....
AND NOW WITH A NEWER DESIGN....
WAY ta GO "HOSS" PRODUCTS. 👍🏼 .....
Wen I was Young in 60's a farmer next to us he showd me how it work with the horse between potatos and this horse was very frendly ,that why I know how work now J AND H .
I never heard the terms “gee” and “haw”, interesting. I love the old plow.
Yes I have heard of Yee and Haw. Although the time of horse farming was long before i was born. My father would tell about using horses.
Looks like you still will get some love back on that early corn. Bet it will be the sweetest!
I enjoyed your video
Given the challenging conditions of the Corn it's a sure thing that it grew way better with love than it would have Without Love.
It's actually a testament that it needs love when planted and also some love while it's growing 🙂🙂🙂
Yep!
I have heard of it in relief and see it done
I did the same exact thing when I was young... kept me entertained for hours
I'm glad to hear that. I thought I was the only one. Neighbors would wave and honk when they went by. They knew I would be out plowing in the garden.
Tim and family you have a great and interesting channel that I've been watching for a couple of years. I use to have a sod cutter with the same kind of handles you have there. I'm pretty sure my Grandpa built it. He grew up on a farm in Astoria Illinois, where his father raised stock.
Thanks Jake. We've enjoyed your comments over the years.
I don't think I"m "man enough" to push a sod cutter like that!
Yep,,, gee and haw....
Grew up running tractors by the time I was 6 but my dad being born in 1920 was very familiar with working with the mules.
But the term do turning the gardens from year to year were still hawing or gee the field.
Also, friends of mine still have a Jack that the old man uses more than he does his tractor.
Still loving your videos.
Russ,
Lithia, Florida
Tim, just do it the easy way. Use Johnny with the tiller for the open areas. Or use Casey to reach in and go between rows.
I had heard of the Gee and Haw commands from my granddad when he was still alive. They also used to use horses and mules for most of the farming.
My 87 year old father drove horses during WWII as a young boy on the farm. He recalls Haw and Gee well. Horses were still more common at the time for field work even though some tractors were around. More efficient too due to the rationing. Thank you both for your videos!
And thanks for your comment. Does your dad watch our videos?
Tractor Time with Tim, no - Dad doesn’t even know how to operate a computer. :-)
WOW, I haven't heard of the Gee and Haw thing for about 30 years, being brought in a village we never were exposed to horses much, until a farmer sold his farm and moved next door to us in the village, of course bringing him 2 large work horses with him, he had his wagon and some field equipment, so of course my being 5 or 6 at the time I was captivated by the horses, he would take the neighborhood kids for wagon rides often in the summer, and winter as well brrrrr. he has since passed probably 20 years ago, it brought back memories hearing you talk about it. keep the videos coming and God Bless
Glad you are enjoying the more 'story' type videos. We like to change things up a bit once in awhile.
My wheel hoe will remain in the flower bed for a conversation piece, that looks like work,but does the job,ty for sharing!
Brings back memories for me. :-)
Yes I was taught that as a young boy, I was raised on a farm here in east ky and my family did the same thing as well as everyone else around here that had horses or mules then everyone got tractors as time progressed don’t hardly every see someone do that anymore, love ur videos keep um coming and God Bless you all.....
Thanks Adam. Sometimes we take a trip down memory lane. My old garden plow is probably my most special memory as a kid.
Old man when I was a kid used to plow our garden with a mule. "Gee mule. Gee, gee, haw now. Then he'd reach the end and say "come up....gee!. All day he plowed that mule in row crops and gardens around and about. The mule belonged to the farm he worked on. That farmer had about 10 mules and they stayed in a pen between LB's house and the farmer's. Remember it like yesterday. All the other farmers had converted to tractor power but Mr Joiner was still mules and wagons with stationary combines.
Great story!
Gee and Haw is used to tell dogs which way to turn down trails when dogsledding.
Nice tools!!! The Gee-Haw is also used for dog sled dogs to tell the the same thing you told the horses. Pretty interesting!!!
+1 on the new Pick-up walk-through
nice refinish on hand plow. great video. god bless.
Not bad for a 12 yr old. ..and that would have been 40 yrs ago. So, I guess it "lasted" ok :-)
Great color for the plow, Very close to Kubota. 👍 Also thanks for the tip on the mic. I’ll be looking into it. Keep on tractoring.
God bless
Maybe I was destined to be a Kubota Guy???
Tim, you are correct Ha is left and gee is right. I'm not sure about the spelling either. My grandfather taught me to plow a horse before he would allow us to use the tractor.
When I was a young lad, I used a high wheel hoe. We had three attachments: A plow with a shoe to through the dirt right and left, a right-handed plow similar to what you have and a four-tine cultivator to weed between the rows. It was so easy to use! Grandpa had a protocol, he rubbed down the wooden handles with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine and 0000 steel wool. The handles were so smooth there was no need for gloves and no blisters! We live near the Amish country and I have heard the terms "Gee and Haw" from the teenager directing the team of 6 or 8 horses. Beautiful to watch and good reason to lower the car windows to smell the freshly turned field. By the way, you can get both wheeled hoes from Lehman's in Kidon, OH.
I have the 4 tine cultivator. In fact, I put two of them together mounted to a 2x2 wood ‘toolbar’ when I was a boy. So I had an 8 tine cultivator!
Good stuff enjoyed that
Thanks Mike!
Gee and Haw, good things for your horses or mules to know, still Hooooe is most important. lol
Absolutely heard those terms.. lots and lots of hills were flattened with horses and mules around here... Around here in Arkansas, some people now use the term in the context of being able to get along with others, just like the horses did. " That group of girls really Gee-Haws well. They always are together and never seem to fight."
Good day Tim & Christy. Hope y'all are doing good. My Father in law had tried to explain Gee & Haw to me but not as detailed as you. I have even had the privilege of plowing with a team of horses at the Denton Horse and Mule day in Denton , NC. I call it a privilege now If I have had to plow for a living i probably would not have said that. Lol. Enjoyed the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
Good job Tim. I my part of Ohio we call them dead furrows....... When I was a kid riding with my grandpa plowing with mules he always said its ok to whip em just don't cuss em.......
Tim, I have my grandmothers hand plow which is very similar to your grandfather’s. But not in near as good of shape. It had been left outside behind a shed before I got it. Now I need to rebuild it almost completely.
Hoss sells handle bars alone. I suspect a pair of Hoss Handlebars could be attached to this old plow. However, in my case, the painted handles contain the memories :-)
Tractor Time with Tim unfortunately, the handles are now probably 60+ years old and are no longer in a state of being a memory item. There are many places that sell handles but some metal work also needs to be done. It will happen and thanks for the heads up.
Johnny gets a day off!!
Yes. Well deserved!
In my younger years I worked our farm with horses, and yes I knew the terms and what they mean.. I din not however know about using the term for plowing the field out as you explained.. we never had the big fields you had.. I love meeting you father and family on the big farm.. lol
Thanks for the comment, Harold.
This video was great! Nice stuff Tim
Thanks for watching!
Tractor Time with Tim thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Tim
my Grandmother used to yell Gee and Haw at her Chickens and I asked why once and she said because that is what Grandpa yelled at his horses and she said it made them move. Tisk tisk on the corn. Carmel farmers market, My Dads Sweet Corn.
Now that is a city boy! Be a man. Grow your own corn!
Gee and Haw are also used for driving oxen, as at least one other person has mentioned below. (I just thought I would add my two cents for the oxen people since horses, mules and dog sledding were mentioned several times.) :) Thanks for another great video.
Confession time with tim...i was asked by my bible study pastor to read job so im in the right place. My momma taught me that gee n haw was also used on horse n buggy.a good team knew those words.on a side note my dog did not know those words but did know how to spell ride as in r.i.d.e.
Christy that your new john deere from Tim HE HE😀😀 for your birthday 😁😁😁
Gee and Haw are also used in dog sledding to tell the dogs which way to turn.
Great demonstration. You know Tim, if you wanted to just use that wheel hoe to pass some time, you could prep an area in order to begin construction of a patio!
Ugh. You HAD to bring THAT up!!!
Great video , interesting
Thanks Kolby!
Tim .....
Although I will never use them I have great respect for Hosstools.
For a small garden their range of tools can do EVERYTHING small powered machinery can do without the emissions ....
As I said .... If I was able to and in a position to ..... I would buy the whole range ....
I've spent hours watching the Hoss website .... Some AMAZING stuff there in vids ....
In conjunction with your good self's advice ..... A small farm operator could avail themselves of all their machinery needs ..... :)
Yes i remember hearing. That as a Kid
With the refrence to Horses. Right Left.
Tim I agree on the horse turn signals
Gee and Haw are also used in running a dog sled, however, when training one of dogs to pull my son's wheelchair we decided that rather than using the gee and Haw we trained him to the words left and right.
Love the videos do a truck walk-through
No more useless than a video game. Ha ha . That's the truth. I love old antique tools. Nice video.
I have a wheel hoe just like that works great to hill potatoes. But how we have all raised beds and no need to weed or hill. Lot easier on the back because the beds are waste high no bending over and getting a back ache ;-)
They used gee and haw because horses did not know there left from there right lol 😂
I wonder if that is related to why cowboys say "YEE HAW!" ?
We can count on you, Jeff! :-)
Great video, was wondering if you could leave the scripture on screen for 20sec longer, I like reading them but I'm a bit of a slow reader. God bless thanks again for the videos.
Hey Niels. You can press ‘pause’ to pause the videos.
We try to optimize the time they are displayed, as there is usually some interesting video after the scripture. We don’t want folks ‘dropping off’ during the scripture display.
@@TractorTimewithTim , LOL, yep power of the pause, thanks, LOL
Thanks for understanding, Niels!
You have to give Love after planting too
Exactly. We have such perfect soil here, that I guess we got a bit arrogant. ...actually, I think I would have gotten a stand if I had ran the wheel hoe 'wheel' over the row after planting, gently packing the soil over the seed. This would have held the moisture. As it was, I left the soil too loose...so it dried out.
also here on this farm we also used those terms...my grandpa is very very old school lol
We used Gee/Haw to describe plowing direction until we finally quit plowing. In fact, I have heard them use it when combining.
Recently, however, they quit combining in "lands". All straight back and forth now.
My neighbor in Page Ne. taught his Yorkies gee and haa. My mother knew what he meant i thought he just made it up...lol.
Definitely heard it before in Texas, and isn't it in the Little House on the Prairie books? I believe so. When they farm in the plains with oxen.
I read ALL of the Little House books to Katriel when she was young. I think they used Gee and Haw...but I thought they may have said Yee and Haw, not sure.
One of the best parts of having a daughter was finally getting to read all of the "little girl" books that I thought were off limits from when I was a young boy. Little House, Ann of Green Gables, etc. We read 'em. I think we finished those two series before Katriel turned 3. She always had a huge attention span for a good book.
That is far more productive than a video game
Yea, I think so. ...but really didn't 'produce' anything cept for the painted garden plow. All of my plowing was a waste of time.
You were learning stuff. Video games are a complete waste of time
When I was a kid in East Tenn there was a hay meadow across the road from us. An old man with a single horse drawn sickle mower cut the grass. He used Gee and Haw talking to the horse. He raked with the horse and the horse pulled a trailer and he pitchforked the windrowed grass into the trailer. He just talked to the horse to giddyup or whoa as he moved along the field. Bib overalls, longsleeve shirt and a wide brim straw hat. Red bandana in his hip pocket. He never stopped to talk to us kids watching, but he did talk to the horse, or himself. This was late 50's early 60's and I have no clue how big the meadow was. Sad state of the Corn video
Oh well. We got to enjoy the extended family corn a few weeks ago, so no great loss!
As I remember there was no love when Katriel planted, she was doing the planting in a hurry
Maybe that is it!? Maybe we didn't really apply the necessary love.
Tim do a nematode test of you garden. They can destroy a corn crop. Also dry years the corn eats up nitrogen and other nutrients.
The Gee and Haw terms are also used in Dog mushing.
I heard that but only when one of the elders got on a horse after drinking to much , then after words you would hear thump when they hit the ground lol ...
The Amish up here use gee and haw as well. My corn turned out the same as yours, tasseled at 3 1/2-4 ft, good colour, but stunted and it was irrigated as well. I hill sweet corn as a standard practice, but unlike you guys I’m lazy so I use a couple of disc hillers on my Super A or 100 but don’t run them as deep as you do for potatoes.
All sounds good. I have used a variety of approaches. I started using Hoss because they send me product, and I really like the quality and utility of their product. So, I wanted to show everyone how well it works.
Tractor Time with Tim It does look sturdy and well engineered, but I just like having an excuse to have offset tractors and buying implements for them.
Understood. Sounds like a fun hobby.
Gee an haw I believe is also use one sleep dogs.
Yelp my dad told me about the terms gee and haw and me being curious I asked what was the term to make them stop, he smiled and said gee-haw.
They use gee & haw in dog sledding to for turning the team .
We call em dead furrows up here
Yep. We used that term as well.
Put a harness on Tim for him to pull the plow. Lol.

ANOTHER thing I would pay good money to see! ROFL!
Didn't you try and cultivate that taller corn with the tractor and disturb a bunch of it?
Uh, are you talking about the video from 3 years ago?
when I was a kid, living with my grand parents in Newton, IA.
One of the (HOT< MISERABLE) chores in our garden patch was plowing trenches around the corn plants and then using the water hose to soak the ground.
for use, it was 'corn knee high by july' and in late august, removing the tassels by hand and picking the corn (stocks over 7 ft high) when the corn became 'ripe'
We dug the irrigation furrows by hand with a hoe
That would work I’m young Potato plants were net
Never heard of the gee haw! Smart horses! My corn looks good, just about ready to pick. Potatoes 🥔 didn't do so good. Like the high arch wheel hoe!
I have several comments and questions about gardens and farm stuff. I don't think a man powered plow would work here in N.J.
First question... Didn't your family plant a acre of sweet corn for eating? Why plant back yard corn.
Next question. .. with the commercial corn crop, do you wait until the corn kernels are dry before harvesting it?
Last question for today.... same for the soybean crop?
All good questions, George.
1) They planted lots of sweet corn, but it is ~200 miles away from us. We got to enjoy some of their corn, but there is also a certain joy in seeing it grow, right?
2) Yes, you are correct. The kernels are dry and hard on the 'field corn'. Check out the harvest videos from last fall. "It eats the grain", and the trip to the elevator...can't remember the title. to see the 'shelled corn' already taken off the cob running out of the truck.
3) Soybeans also dry out and get relatively hard before we harvest. Again, there is a harvest video on this...where I 'drive' (sort of) the combine while harvesting soybeans.
Some of the corn is ground and turned into Tortilla chips (Azteca...not sure if you've heard of them). The rest is used for cattle/hog feed.
The soybeans are ground and turned into soy meal and soy oil. Soy oil is great stuff...used for candles, bio-diesel, and many other cool things. soy meal is used as feed as well. I'm not sure if any of their soy product goes for human consumption or not.
I welcome the questions.
ha ha no Johnny power it Tim power
My Grand Dad would Have flash backs of Plowing behind mule while using the tiller in our garden. Be yelling it even though the tiller can't hear. Thank the Good Lord for my Big Johnny. Plowing easier
Great story!
I remember my grandpa mentioned the terms
I have to tell you, I don't care for the gee haw method. I like the tractor method. :)
I Have!! Horse or Mule. My Family Preferred a Mule.
Time for the power tiller.
Ah, lazy bum! :-)
tim your on to something with that gee hall cause on little house on the prarie mr edwards and charles will tell the ox gee and hall i just didnt know what it ment if it was like german with cops k 9s or what and in too little even knowing my last name young in 74 there wasnt many horses and ox doing plowing
Well, you better go back and watch some more "Little House" now that you have been educated! :-)
...never thought I would be helping folks to better understand Little House on the Prairie. Hmm...I wonder if that is a good thing or bad????
use to watch it as a kid and then with my mother in 2013 -16 now she gone soi dont watch it or even the golden girls
Gee is left. Haw is right or vice-versa
We looked it up. I got it right (believe it or not) :-) There is lots of discussion of it on the internet.
Don't be hating on the love fertilizer. 😭
Yea, you're right :-)
is it true if your corn isnt knee high by the fourth of july it wont make it or is that just old foke lore from dr susse
Folklore. Field Corn is usually head high by 4th of July. Sweet corn can be planted probably even after July 4th and still make it. I think ~75 days for sweet corn.
I was surprised Tim you have no tomatoes?
Christy nor I like to eat tomatoes. Katriel has started to eat them over the last couple of years
You need a Farmall cub
We had one when I was a kid.
Loved it, cept for one thing. It was geared WAY too fast for garden work.
👍👍👍👍
the German Baptist ladies around here told me to put human hair in the garden to keep rabbits out.
Uhoh. I don’t have any of that to spare!!’
First

WORK LESS Garden more You will Be happier
work less garden more? Not sure I get it.
