First Cutting Hay/ Tedding Hay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2020
- We cut our first two fields of hay using the 820 John Deere and New Holland Haybine. After cutting the first field, the next day while Alan was cutting the second field, Jennifer, tedded the hay on the first field with our Farmall B and Vermeer Hay Tedder.
Loved watching you work your 820, that's what my grandpa taught me to cut hay with. Super great all around little tractor.
I say we get this GREAT family to 10k subscribers. Spread the word these people deserve it! Not to many of these farms are left. 😀😀😀👍👍🚜🚜
Nice video of cutting the hay
Ha! The sheet hit the fan. We had the same ting happen in our barn last week. Jaunita, who stands down at the west end...by the fan, coughed a load of exhaust into the blades. I pointed it out to the children teaching them the origin of the popular phrase. Loved the fawn, too. Early Sunday morning Laura and I were standing in the milk house when we saw a spotted fawn walk right past the door into the barn. It visited briefly with three bottle calves and then sneaked out under the west gate and took off across the fields.
Keith-
glad to see rain in ya fields. we'll continue to pray for more rain.
Thank you!
Thanks for another very interesting video. Hope you get some good rain soon.
Yep, always a good way to increase the chance of rain showers, cut your hay. LOL I've had the same kind of luck many times over the years. LOL "Cut the hay in the rain & bale it up in the shine". Good to see the little guy jumping in to help fix things. LOL Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
That was real funny. It hit the fan
Ah, the fond memories of aromas from fresh cut hay! God Bless!
Love that smell!
@@trinitydairy Lets not forget those sweaty AROMAS emitted by the human bodies after long afternoons of stacking those small hay bales on the hay wagon and transferring them to the barn loft in temperatures of 90+ degrees F. Mother often made us eat supper on the porch cuz she said You STINK , AHH those days !!
Memories of mowing @9 years old with a similar tractor and 1209 jd
On our dairy farm in England when we were ready to cut a meadow my mother would ring Manchester Airport and ask for the weather department, our rain came in from Ireland, and flights from the US that crossed Ireland would give an accurate forecast of rain to come,.Happy days.
loved the video!
Glad you got some rain. When I was growing up we had certain fields that every year when we cut the first cutting it would rain on them.
Great vid... very economical way to make hay
Great video
I have that same kind of haybine but I pull mine with a 285 Massey Ferguson.. good video!
285 an awesome tractor
Here in Minnesota, i never used a tedder. I also had the same Haybine, and, i opened it up to make a broad swath. If the weather was perfect, i could usually rake it late the next morning, and, bale in the afternoon. Once and awhile it took two days. Of course rain slowed it down. Usually we cut first cut alfalfa the last few days of May, or first week in June, we generally had lower humidity, and, good breezes that time of the year.
We usually don't use it this time of the year, mainly 2nd or 3rd crop, when the dew leaves at noon and is back on by 5:00, or if we have windrows that get rained on.
Thanks for sharing you folks be safe😉👍
Konrad
i used a grimm tedder for years nice thing about them you could tedd windrows that were already raked
Good to see Jen doing field chores
Our hay fields were getting too dry like yours and then we got 6 inches over 2 days. It is too much but better then too little. I will have to re-seed the low spots in my oat field. Thanks for the video.
Yeah seems like it always swings one way or the other.
Appreciate your Christ centered lifestyle. You are an inspiration!
Thank you and thanks for watching! God bless!
Hope for you guys you get the rain, we had parts of the country that were flooded yesterday we got nothing looks like Nice hay thanks and keep farming greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer
Crazy how it can be too little or way too much!
You not that whright
👍👌🇨🇦❤, rained here yesterday, today and is supposed to off and on all week here, I will send it your way
Sounds good 👍
I can relate still use older tractors too.
that tedder really does work well.
Yeah, it does a nice job.
Moving along pretty good. I used to have a John Deere 1209 haybine ( it was a piece) I could go about half that speed
I can go around 5 MPH, if the hay is extremely thick I will shift down a gear. Thanks for watching!
I used to use a 1209 pulled by a JD 3020 and we motored right along. Mostly cutting clover....
I used to buy alfalfa hay in California. They would float the water in. Then when they cut the gay, there was never ant rain in the Central Valley. They had a machine to rake 4 wind rows into on path for bailing. Great hay, I miss the hay and the goats.
I thank God he brought me to this channel. I suffer from severe PTSD and these videos help more than words can describe. I grew up putting up hay much like you do. God bless you and all you do.
Oh wow! We're glad you found us. Thank you so much for watching!
Do you ever watch Boehm farms on here? He makes hay this way, even stacks it on wagons because he's still young lol. and he has a nice. calm relaxing way about him, just thought you might be interested. Take care
Best video, Did he get it fix! :). Sweet boy. You know you're the only one who's using old equipment.
I think he did, but I'd have to ask to be sure haha! This old equipment still works really well.
@@trinitydairy works well but the best part, it's paid for!!
Exactly!
Your farming operation is a joy to watch....Thanks for the videos!! So happy you got some much needed rain also. I wish I could send some of what we've been getting your way....Eastern Iowa (Quad Cities) has had plenty.
Interesting video, thanks for sharing it, we got a few drops of rain the other day, windy today, how many crops you have to cut, what kind of narrow front tractor is that? That hay rake does a pretty good Job of spreading the hay, me and my Mom went to Perhem for awhile to get out of DL just for something to do😀🚜🇺🇸
We try to get two or three cuttings of hay. We have about 4 more fields to cut yet. That's our Farmall B on the Tedder. Yeah it does a nice job.
I used a 430 Case for cutting hay, it looks like your John Deere is about the same size. We had a Hesston haybine.
Well the first field was dry but the second field looked a lot better and do agree you can fertilize but if you don't have rain want make much got to have them both.
The second field was way better.
The you know what hit the fan but it all worked out in the end...😁
Any idea of the protein % in what you were cutting? Or the RFV rating?
No I don't. The alfalfa wasn't bloomed out yet so that should help the food value. I usually get it tested when I start feeding it, in case I need to adjust my ration.
Mines a 488 NH haybine. Using a Case 930 Comfort King.
I've heard the 488 was a good machine.
@@trinitydairy yes I agree the machine has been trouble free since 1981. I could cut hay for days and days so relaxing. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve seen people mow the way you do but I never mow a feild like that I always open up feild by going around 6 times then go back and forth and split big fields in half
I have done that before and it is a nice way to do it, but it's kind of a pain with this style haybine, if I had a center pivot, I would cut them all like that . Thanks for watching!
That spot is only a glancing blow. The pipeline to the lagoon is the SHTF reality story. Any up-date to that situation ??
Hopefully start digging up the line in a week or so and see what we find.
I always wondered what would happen when it hits the fan
Haha!
What all do you feed your cattle? Like weight or percents?
Right now they are getting around 14lb per head per day of 16 percent protein dairy feed, full time pasture grass, and corn silage, the amount of silage depends on how much grass is available, if the pasture runs out totally,we will substitute free choice dry hay or balage.
Trinity Dairy thanks! I have always wondered that.
Hi, when do you seed the grass?
We usually seed in the spring, like April or May
It’s May 28 2022 here an mowed my first
Wellington Minnesota got enough I’m spots 3 inch up 5 inch
Are you going to round or square bale?
Square baled it. Got 413 bales today in the barn.
@@trinitydairy better luck than here. Been in 60's and cloudy last 2 days. Sun comes around 5pm,but no rain though. Got 2 1/2 load to bale, maybe monday!
It was a perfect day here. Super nice wind and sun. Good luck getting your's made.
Is that mainly native grasses? Also, how fast were you mowing? You seemed to be going at a good clip. With my jd1209, I can only go about 4 miles an hour.
It's a mix orchard grass, and a little alfalfa, there is some June grass growing as well, the second field is orchard grass, Timothy, alfalfa, and clover. According to the owners manual, I'm going just under 5 mph, but if the hay is extremely thick and I will shift down a gear.
Imagine your dad or grandfather making those turns without power steering?
not the only one using older equipment check out Boehm farm on utube and look for Jacob in Ohio or bandit farmer
I've seen the bandit farmer he has some neat stuff, haven't seen the other ones but I will check them out
Hope ya get some rain soon. Corn doing good? Jennifer? A Farmall? Thought you was a John Deere girl? Lol. But ill give that one to you.. You did have a hat and sun glasses on but could have pulled your hood up. Lol.. Thanks for the video.. Thank you
Corn's looking good. She does like that little B Farmall. We're on a dead end so I don't think anyone saw her lol!
@@trinitydairy thank for the "❤" heres one back for your reply❤ you don't think any one seen her? But you got her on video.lol. keep that in the safe.lmao...
everything breaks down and they fix it up
Any day there are no breakdowns is a good day.
That's the truth!
Wouldn't take much for Josh to win hide and go seek in the hay field as small as he is lol 😂
"Haying" is a typical warm weather tasks and Jen is wearing a HOODIE sweatshirt ?? Maybe need a pair of winter gloves and a wool beanie to complete than fashion ensemble. Heated tractor cabs are for pretending farmers !!! "Real Farmers" run without
cabs, heaters, radios, computer controls, air seats, tinted windows, smart steering columns, GPS or AC climate systems !!
Love those small family farmers !!
The funny thing is the night before last we were in a frost warning and the next two days are supposed to be in the 90s.
You should put some cow manure on your apples trees only route or right on the tree make a growl bigger
I’m just getting off
I do not understand the need to Tedder hay.
It spreads the hay out for faster drying, with the high humidity we have it can be hard to dry otherwise.
so sad to see Minnesota with all the protests the same is happening here in Canada with all the aggressive lawman guns should be banned police not carry guns let the military do the shooting
It is a sad and scary situation, but what I find strange is that this is turning into a gun issue, the death of the man that sparked the protests had nothing to do with guns.I believe what we need now is prayer. Stay safe, God bless! And thanks for watching!
@@trinitydairy It is sad and scary. I agree !!!!! The wold is up side down. THANKS GOD BLESS.
@@dawidvandyk296 I agree, David. Prayer must be on a continuing basis, before, during, & after a crisis, not just as a last resort. Understand, though, that God's Will will prevail, and we may not like His answer. Trust Him.
