Soon Mason 😎....until then, just keep forking, a little hard work keeps one strong and healthy especially when you have home grown vitamin enriched pasture raised protein and and good veggies from the garden. I really enjoy the channel 💯
1 really enjoy how you encapsulate the true/honest work it takes the work on a small dairy farm by Eau Carlile, WI area. If I was close, I would volunteer to drive a M for you the farm work. I miss it. I hope Mason and Owen will cherish it and continue with you what your Dad has established.
I can see Mason's point how a bunk would make it much easier for you , and make sense at a smallish cost , but you still get it done , looks much better than the last cut
Once again another great video and it’s always nice seeing everyone out working together. I really admire the work and dedication that goes into these videos. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait till the next one
Funny how these videos trigger so many memories. The 4020 always got duals once a year for packing the corn silage pile. Looked like a beast to me as a kid but I was never allowed to drive on the pile for fear of rolling the tractor off the edge. Grandpa chopped with the 4430 and I would haul and empty wagons with the 4010. Miss those days.
With three of you working, things went well. I'd never get tired of the view from the ridge tops. Definitely need good brakes and plenty of power and weight to be safe on the hills. The cattle will be well-fed with all the feed you're stockpiling!!!
Luv the sound of the Super M working...brings back so many memories putting up hay with my grandpa, dad and brothers. Thanks for the vid...You Guys Rock!!! 😎👍👍👍
Lots of amazing shots and different angles in this video Aaron. Even enjoyed seeing the fields adjacent to the hay fields. You all remind me of working together with my Dad and siblings doing hay.
I remember waking up in the morning myself ,dad, and my brother getting ready to milk cows. In the pasture was deer grazing with the cows how awesome that site was to see
Another Great Video! It’s Great to still see a family farm! Running by a lot hardworking family members! You all do a Great Job and have a beautiful place that is Well taken care of! You all have a lot to be proud of! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, nice to see the family working together. It sure is nice sight, with the cows upon the hill....makes me appreciate more the pictures of my grandfather small dairy farm on the hills of Central Southern Italy 🇮🇹
That "Kerr" jar attached to the intake of the tractor should have some oil in it so that when it draws in dusty or dirty air that dusty dirty air will flow across that oil and be trapped in it rather then going into your motor.
Another great video That's the same tractor And Rake That I flipped over when I was a kid I was Raken on a side Hill Enjoy the video will be watching more stay safe and have a good day
So many memories watching this except we had to fill the silos ground storage wasn't really a thing back in the 70' and 80's.Had a wide front john deere 730 we used for raking and used the 4430 for chopping. Great to see the family working together..Keep up the great videos and stay safe.
Aaron, another super duper video. I agree with you on the cows grazing on the hill being a beautiful view however there are no ugly views on your farm, even the view off the manure pile is very scenic. I'm always checking on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for the latest vid. Great job as usual.
What a great video! Love seeing and hearing the M TA working, but yes, power steering helps! I was watching Mason forking and thinking, wow what a hard worker although you all are! you sure do put out some great videos and nice to see Mason helping with the camera work!
Hello from Mesa, AZ. I was raised on a dairy farm near Eau Claire. I drove tractor for baling hay in my teen years. I helped milk and testing the cows. Also helped when the calves were sick with scours. I don't see your barn cats??? Why not?
I knew there would be questions on why you build your bunker without walls. Be great to explain your process compared with other farmers! Always a great video ❤ waiting on the corn 🌽 on top soon 😉
They use more Tech than you realize. Balanced nutrition, separate piles for managing nutrients, and paying attention to the data that they have is all modern technology. So, the equipment isn't shiny and new, it's the application of it that matters.
Raked hay last weekend on a hillside that would give your suicide hill a run for it's money. Raked with the JD 4020 and a v-rake, made my heart race a little bit. Hope never to do hay there again. Have a great harvest season
Question: what additive are using on the chopper and for what reason? Very busy day and you got a lot accomplished. Stacking that pile is a tedious task.
Tower silo's are a pain to everything from the neck down. By piling or bunkering each cutting and crop separately, you can have nutritional values for each so you can balance a ration for the need. Tower silo, excepting oxygen limited structures, last in is first out, regardless of quality. Great question!
They don’t pile everything separately. They pile corn silage on top of the haylage so how he ever balances the ration is beyond me. He obviously makes silage piles because it is low cost storage. Upright silos are very costly.
@@MorganOtt-ne1qj I do have experience with all these storage methods and they all seem to have their pros and cons. In this case the towers seem like they would work well because of their limited flat areas for piles around the farm yard. Another advantage to towers is there’s less waste, less mess, less fuel consumption for packing and not constantly managing plastic and tires. To your point, top unloading as far as first in first out goes, that is true unless you’re filling an empty silo with corn silage and you’re filling it all at the same time anyway. I do agree that silos are costly and can be dangerous, but I also wonder what the true cost of bags, bunkers and piles would be when you add it all up?
@@joesteck6631 I understand the way they pile their feed that’s why I think it’s unique… kinda old school. I’d say balancing a ration is more guesswork in their case. Isn’t it guesswork for anyone not using a tmr?
Always liked the Gehl equipment, but never had 1 of their choppers . What are you going to do for the next chopper, now that Gehl no longer makes the great farm machinery anymore? Great video!👍
Always enjoy watching your videos. Also enjoy the positive attitude you always seem to have Aaron, and also all the rest of you. That pile is something I wouldn't want to drive on, but know the weight of the tractor and the manner in which it is driven on makes a world of difference. Totally off the wall and probably a dumb idea, but would it be possible to have temporary sides that could be put up similar to the way a wall is raised when building a house. It probably would be more work than it is worth. Anyway hope the rest of the chopping went well.
A question for you. What happened to silos. They are not used much, and they don't make new ones. So, explain the advantages of pits, bunkers and piles. I watch every video you put out so it could make a good topic maybe.
Die Häckselwagen sind ja von der Größe her ganz gut. Nur die Seiten Entladung für ein Hoch Silo ist für ein Fahrsilo nix. Bei uns in Deutschland fahren sie mit Muldenkipper oder Ladewagen
Ok dumb question time again:: So like when I saw "hay" in the title, I'm thinking its like the video where you were making bales and shooting them out the hale baler into a wagon (which was cool BTW).. Why did you do this different, make the rows, put the loose hay in wagons, dump it on the ground and not bales like before? Why the difference ?
@MorganOtt-ne1qj ya but this dairy farm does small square bales moat dairy farm chop all their hay they don't do that so a silo wouldn't be used as much as a regular dairy
@@Blackwellll3066 you have to use a silo to keep the feed fresh, or throw out the rotten top before you use it. I have had my fill of upright silo"s, and I went to bags after spending wat to much on unloader repairs and frustration. Not to mention the extra time of forking silage to feed.
Be careful with your wheels close together on your tractors. My uncle was killed when one of our narrow front wheel tractors rolled over on a side hill. Our farm terrain looks a lot like you’re land.
The only bad thing I see with your setup is. You got a narrow front wheel tracker. you have 2 front wheels on the rake Smashing the hay down. Losing the leaves on the hay
Don't make hay silage here on our place we make baleage. If I was headed out to tire that hey I put your showing there, I would think it's about prime we like a crunchy dry on top green underneath.
Interesting, kinda fun to watch, but i have to admit a fair amount of this looks pretty dangerous especially messing around with the pto so much when either trading wagons or when on the pile
Mason is a Hoot! I hope he has a fabrication project planned for this winter. He has talent as a welder.
George has got to be proud to have all his boys helping him.
Mason tells it like it is.
Man those hills…… watching the video I can’t even stay in my own seat lol. Hills scare me some… great video
Boy ! Working in hay sure shines up the tires on the tractors ........👍🚜
Aaron love this…we need another Q&A, add Mason and Owen and we need to meet the Legend, Momma Gierok, behind the men❤
George gets to milk. Oddly enough, after a long day in the field, doing chores is kind of nice. As always, love your videos!!
Nice job guys great feed
Loving the beautiful Wisconsin skies and pastureland...then you have winter...ugghhh!!
First one. Nothing like a little farming to brighten the day.

I love haying season on the farm fresh chopped feed or bales it smells good like the old timer tractor it’s nice to use people still useing them
Really impressed with your posting consistency!
Bunkers works very well, I am surprised that you guys don't have one
I remember waking up in the morning myself ,dad, and my brother getting ready to milk cows. In the pasture was deer grazing with the cows how awesome that site was to see
Yeehaw keep up the great work yall

Good to hear you have a good crop considering the drought we had earlier this year
Excellent video!
A bunk might be a great addition, even one wall on the driveway side. You may need to raise the power line too.
Awesome great video!
Wisconsin farming. Love it. Been in Richland County my whole life. Nothing level. All hills. Makes your butt pucker from time to time. God bless.
Who keeps that super m running like new? Not many people have the knack to tune them properly. It sounds good! Thanks for sharing! Ron
Great video! Tell me why your Dad has double tires on one side of his tractor . I know on the other side would be in the way. Really cool!

Thats is where we have liked the rotary rakes is in haylage... no bunching and picks the hay off the ground so it is easier on the pickup teeth.

Luv you're videos northwest wi
Do you have a silo that you use?
What a great video! Love seeing and hearing the M TA working, but yes, power steering helps! I was watching Mason forking and thinking, wow what a hard worker although you all are! you sure do put out some great videos and nice to see Mason helping with the camera work!
Great video keep them coming still a lot of old school farming thanks

I love it that you do it the old school way verses new tech ways 👌 👏 ❤

Hayledge looks excellent! That was fun riding in back of a Meyer box.
I’ll bet that stuff smells great 👍 😊

Was the 1066 your big horse once?
Building a pile with a conventional wagon looks like a real pain.
Question: what additive are using on the chopper and for what reason? Very busy day and you got a lot accomplished. Stacking that pile is a tedious task.
It’s so unique and kinda cool the way you guys do your silage. It does seem like with your limited space tower silos would work well

Great video! Love seeing all your equipment at work
Why do you only have one daul on the 1066?
Young fellow how many cattle do you run? Who ever is backing up the feed wagon has got me beat. I can't back up a 4 wheeled wagon.
Die Häckselwagen sind ja von der Größe her ganz gut. Nur die Seiten Entladung für ein Hoch Silo ist für ein Fahrsilo nix. Bei uns in Deutschland fahren sie mit Muldenkipper oder Ladewagen
Wondering how Mason I always liked not having to go to school wondering is he going on at tech college
Does the milk hauler pick your milk up in a tandem truck or tractor trailer?
Would it be easier to put it in a bag?

The pile is cool but I think a bunker would be nice but if ya don't have the area I think 20x40 or 20x60 silos would be nice
Silo's are never nice. They need unloaders, or pitchforks. Usually the latter when the former breaks down. Been there.. .

to much work when do we eat nice video

Salesman have to eat too!
Nothing happens until something is sold.
To bad you didn't have enough room to put up bags
why don't you all invest in a bunker the way you are all doing it now is a great waste of time and energy and not at all efficient
Send them the money 🤑
I hate to see you run over that hay with that narrow front
